Two pit bulls attack, injure women near Kirkland school BY RAECHEL DAWSON
Two pit bulls, Yogi and Luna, somehow recently managed
to get out of their home on N.E. 80th Street and bite two women near a Kirkland school.
Now, Kerri Osmulski, 49, is le� with a great fear it will happen again and Yogi and Luna face being “humanely destroyed” if their owner doesn’t redeem them or abide by the Regional Animal Services of King County’s (RASKC) sanction.
“Dangerous dogs are Re-gional Animal Service’s top priority, to make sure they aren’t an extreme threat,” said RASKC manager and veterinarian Jene Mueller.
� is is not the � rst time one of the dogs has attacked, according to a Kirkland Police report.
Osmulski was walking home for lunch heading west on N.E. 80th Street from her job at Rose Hill Elementary when she felt a dog bite the back of her thigh just under her buttocks on Sept. 14. � e attack blood soaked her jeans, according to a Kirk-land Police report.
“I � ung around and went
into the middle of the road,” Osmulski said. “I was ter-ri� ed.”
She said the dogs circled around and lunged at her. She said she screamed for what seemed like “hours” before her neighbor drove up beside her and told her to get in her vehicle.
“I’ve never been so scared in my life,” she said. “But
I’m just glad I was attacked and not a child.”
Rose Hill Elementary is one block away from the location of the attacks.
A� er multiple witnesses called police, o� cers “dry � red” Tasers to keep the dogs at bay until RASKC arrived. � e police report said Yogi was unneutered

While business activity at the Totem Lake Malls has � uctuated throughout the years, key anchors such as My Home Furniture have kept the mall hanging by a thread. A martial arts stu-dio just signed a three-year lease and there’s been talk
of a 24 Hour Fitness taking up shop where the Com-pUSA used to be.
Many would say there has � nally been some positive growth. � e malls’ property management, Coldwell Banker Richard Ellis Inc., (CBRE) has even put money into its appear-ance and, according to

City Manager requests more time for Houghton/Everest rezone discussionBY RAECHEL DAWSON
Kirkland City Man-ager Kurt Triplett recently reached out to the Hough-ton and Everest communi-ties to let them know he’s heard their development concerns and will try to help.
“In response to the concerns expressed by residents of the Everest and Central Houghton neigh-borhoods, I agree that the process and timing of the Houghton/Everest Business District should be reconsidered,” Triplett said in a public email. � e Planning Commission and Council also agreed.
Houghton and Everest residents were recently no-ti� ed of proposed Compre-hensive Plan updates that would allow for building heights to extend to � ve stories west of 108th Av-enue N.E. and four stories east of 108th Avenue N.E. in the Houghton/Everest Neighborhood Center.
In July, the Kirkland City Council directed the Planning Commission to include the Neighborhood Center in the 2012 Work Program, which only gave the Everest Neighborhood Association a few months to be noti� ed, create a plan for themselves and gain
insight from their community.
“� ere is no way that this can be done in that short of a time frame. We are asking for one year to try to get all the information we need,” said Everest
Neighborhood Association member Anna Rising last week.
� e changes for the Everest Neighborhood Plan were to re� ect similar updates in the Central Houghton Neighbor-hood Plan. � e Houghton Community Council and the Planning Commis-sion have put about two years into the Central Houghton Neighborhood Plan updates. � e Everest
Jamieson Furniture owners Denetta and Rich Jamieson will relocate their Totem Lake business at the end of December.

Neighborhood Plan has not been updated in more than 20 years.
Triplett said staff directed the Planning Commission to reex-amine the timing of the changes in a meeting on Sept. 27. The Planning Commis-sion deemed the area be included in the city’s 10 year Comprehensive Plan update.
He personally recom-mended the City Council also reconsiders the timing of the project on Tuesday.
“It was my understand-ing that all parties were on board, but it turns out
that wasn’t the case,” said Mayor Joan McBride and former member of the Houghton Community Council. “I think we need to back away and give this process more time.”
On Oct. 2 the council agreed with Triplett
and McBride to delay the planning process. The Work Program will be formally amended
at the Oct. 16 coun-cil meeting.Triplett said his staff will
develop a new timeline and approach the proj-ect and discussions at a much slower pace but with more education and involvement on the matter.
However, he does note the Comprehensive Plan will need to be updated in two years, according to state law.
“One option may be to evaluate the Houghton/Everest Business District as part of that update in 2013-14.” Triplett said. “Another option would be to complete the Com-prehensive Plan update prior to preparing a more detailed plan for the district.”
It is uncertain whether the community meeting for Oct. 9 will take place but residents are encouraged to go to www.kirklandwa.gov/neighborhoodcenter and sign up for email updates.

Q/A | with
Q How did SUNDANCE Energy get started?
A Back in 1981 we primarily did solar water heating and pool heating. We did that until
1985 when the federal government stopped offering a tax credit for installing solar energy systems. At that point we had to reinvent ourselves. We wanted to keep the same theme, which was saving people money and offering environmental solutions for the home. What made the most sense to our business was natural gas and it’s sustained our business since. We’ve been around for over 30 years now.
Q How does your company promote the use of clean energy?
A When we burn coal, oil, diesel, wood – all of these things are bad for air quality. They
put pollution in the air and cause health problems for our families. Natural gas is a clean burning fuel source. The beauty of burning natural gas is it produces water, heat and carbon dioxide which has no particulate pollution in it. Natural gas fi replaces are the most romantic and clean way to heat your home and provide comfortable heat in a power outage. Heating our homes is an essential
need for everyone so we really believe the most environmentally friendly way over the years has been natural gas or high effi ciency heat pumps. The new product on the market is ductless heat pumps. They do use electricity but because of its effi ciency, they are probably the most environmentally sound way to heat. It also makes a lot of sense fi nancially as it is 3 times more effi cient than electric heat and 5 times more effi cient than oil or propane heat and half the cost of a high effi ciency gas furnace. Homeowners can fi nd substantial savings on their heating. Whenever we do something that’s really good for the environment, it tends to be really good fi nancially as well.
Q Why is your business important for the Puget Sound?
A The largest energy cost is heating. People need reliable, comfortable heat that
doesn’t cost them an arm and a leg. On a cold winter, people end up spending too much money and sometimes unfortunately, they start being uncomfortable in their homes. We want to make sure that people can afford to be comfortable and not too cold.
Q How does the US compare to other
countries in ductless heat pump installation?
A In 2009, Japan installed 7 million ductless heat pumps,
China installed 16 million units, and Europe installed 7 million units. Comparably, the U.S. only had 300,000 new installations. We have traditionally used horribly ineffi cient heating systems. Puget Sound Energy, Seattle City Lights and Snohomish County PUD offer their largest rebates as they recognized ductless heat pumps
are the best way to heat and cool your home. They are easy to install and make your home the perfect climate.
Q Can you tell us about some of the awards and recognition that
SUNDANCE Energy has received?
A We are one of only a few companies that have been awarded the Puget Sound Energy’s
Platinum Performance Award for Customer Service. We’ve gotten Angie’s List super Service Award for the last fi ve years and have gotten Best of Northshore with the Bothell/Kenmore Reporter every year they held the contest. We’re one of the only Mitsubishi Top Diamond Dealers, which allows us to give people a better warranty on their products. In addition, we’re one of the original Rheem Top Contractors in the state and we’ve been featured on New Day Northwest on King 5 three times.
Q What are the costs for your services?
A We’re very competitive. When you consider value, which is the quality of the product and
service, we feel we are unmatched. In fact we’re so confi dent, we will match the price of any product we supply. Most of our products pay for themselves with the energy they save and start putting money into our customer’s pockets.
Q What areas do you serve?
A We serve Snohomish and King Counties from our Bothell location and we
also serve Skagit County from our Mount Vernon location.
“We really want to make our homeowners more comfortable in their homes and improve their quality of life. We want to do this in the most environmentally friendly way possible and save them some money in the process.” Curtis Dahl, SUNDANCE Energy

You’ve got two choices: put your garbage out or don’t.
� ese were essentially the last words I told a disgruntled Waste Management customer who called me in July before I le� on maternity leave. Waste Management workers had gone on strike that week and by the evening of Friday, July 27 it was still unclear whether workers would collect garbage the fol-lowing week.
� ere are some things that happen in the newsroom that we are glad to walk away from. Stinking garbage is one of them. � at Friday, I was 39 weeks pregnant and had contractions all day, but they were so far apart I didn’t think anything of it. So I went home for the weekend and at 2 a.m. Saturday morning, I turned over in my sleep and my water broke.
� at was the start of my nine weeks away from the newsroom.
While I enjoyed spending time with my newborn daughter, I missed chasing the news. � e gar-bage strike ended and other things happened in Kirkland: a new SummerFest, the Junior So� ball World Series and election coverage. And then there was the bad news: the death of Lake Washington Institute of Technology President, Dr. David Wood-
all, a deceased man found at Juanita Bay Park, two home-invasion robberies and a tragic DUI accident.
I found myself reading about these news stories as I held my newborn on my lap, propped up on a Boppy. I discovered that journalism is not just my job – it’s an integral part of my existence.
Needless to say, I am thrilled to be back in the newsroom this week and ready to get out and cover Kirkland news.
I’m back with an energized passion and fresh
outlook on community news. It’s that same vigor I came into the newsroom with when I took over the editor seat � ve years ago. And just like I did at that time, I’m coming to you – our readers – again to ask you how your community paper is doing.
Do you like our coverage of city and breaking news, schools, etc.? Is there more coverage of a particular thing you would like to see? Give me a call or shoot me an email and let me know! � anks, Kirkland, and again, it’s great to be back.
Prop. 2 adds $55 a year to property taxes, forever
Proposition 2 is the Kirkland parks levy and if passed will add 16 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to your property taxes each year. � is will increase your taxes by an average of $55 per year. Forever. � e fact sheet provided by Kirk-land shows a good breakdown of where the money will go and what will be accomplished with the funds in the next seven years. Personally I think the projects are well thought out and that we would all bene� t from them.
However, if we have a nice seven-year plan, why don’t we have a nice seven-year levy? I am concerned that once the projects are � nished the entire levy amount will get rolled into general Parks Department operations leaving the original Parks Department budget to be absorbed by the city for other priorities. � is is how you end up with Chihuly chandeliers in City Hall. � e citizens of Kirkland should be able to look back in seven years and see if the proposed projects were completed and that our money was well spent. We should also be able to see what new projects are on the table and deter-
mine if we want to fund them. I would like to see these proj-
ects go forward, but I’m not sure I want to commit the funds forever or send this back to City Hall and force them to be more accountable.
To view the Proposition 2 fact sheet for yourself, you can go to the City of Kirkland’s website: www.kirklandwa.govJim Boril, Kirkland
Equal rights for Kirkland residents
My son was born at Evergreen, and grew up by Van Aalst Park. At Peter Kirk Park, he perfected his monkey bar skills, bought bubble gum, and once got to put a base-ball through the return.
He got his library card at the downtown Kirkland branch when he was an in-fant, and the same women were there to smile at him every week, from stu� ed ani-mals and picture books through fractals and genetics.
When he was little, he fell and hit his head on the steps at Marina Bay Park. It was early, but someone was at � e Slip and gave him ice. When he was bigger, he jumped o� a dock into Lake Washington to help a friend in distress.
He sold Christmas trees with Kiwanis and bagels at Noah’s. He went to the sock hop at Peter Kirk Elementary, and the prom at In-ternational Community School.
And now, if enough of you, his community, vote to Approve Referendum 74, he could one day get married in Kirkland too.Paul Backstrom, Kirkland
Keep Kirkland, Kirkland, support levy
If it’s one thing that Kirkland is known for, it’s our parks. From the beautiful waterfront parks, o� en referred to as a “string of pearls,”
to the stunning nature parks, to the � rst class sports
� elds, to the series of fam-ily friendly neighborhood parks; we in Kirkland are
very fortunate to have such a high quality park system.
All of this didn’t happen by accident. � ese parks are the result of the vision, dedication and leadership of the Kirkland com-munity, City Council, Park Board and City sta� .
Each of Kirkland’s parks has an inspiring story that demonstrates what happens when community leaders have a vision and commu-
nity residents make a commitment of support. A couple of examples. Given current land values, can you imagine how di� cult it would be today to acquire land for a series of waterfront parks? Now that took vision. Or how about converting an old golf course into a world class nature park? Juanita Bay Park took courage!
� ese parks are the legacy le� by earlier generations of the Kirk-land community. We are the lucky bene� ciaries. To pay for this park system, much of the funding came from previous Park Bonds and Levies. By supporting these mea-sures, Kirkland residents made a commitment to the present and the future. Another one of these Park Levies will be on the Novem-ber ballot – Prop 2.
Now it’s our turn to carry for-ward this very important legacy. It’s our opportunity to continue the commitment of a high quality Kirkland park system for everyone to enjoy.
So, please join with me and so many of our neighbors in voting YES on Prop 2. A� er all, our parks go a long way to making Kirkland, Kirkland. Let’s keep it that way.Dave Ramsay, former City Manager

Applaud youth for political involvement
I read with interest the recent letter to the editor on Sept. 21, that warrants a reply.
The letter writer stated he was “appalled” by the audac-ity of this “young fellow” to shake him out of his comfort-able slumber by expressing his political opinion.
This “young fellow” should be applauded for his interest and action in the political process regardless of his opinion. It is scarce, and great to see. The youth of today are our hope for the future and should be encouraged to take part in a process that will, more than certain, affect their destiny.
Maybe if the armies of today would be made up of retired men and women in their 60’s for example, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, (a Vietnam War draft dodger by the way), would have had a harder time deceiving these older folks with their fabri-cated self-serving reasons to start and go to an unpro-voked war in Iraq. It was our youth who carried the burden of this senseless war and died in the thousands for it. That is “appalling” sir!
This “young fellow” along with his many peers has the opportunity and right to decide as much as possible their destinies. I am proud, encouraged in our democ-racy, and applaud this young person, as well as all our youth, for their participation in our political process.Rick Bodlaender, Kirkland
Support Prop 2 for great Kirkland parks
Prop 2 will help the Green Kirkland Partnership. This volunteer program is amaz-ingly successful and the benefits are huge to the entire community and to every one of us. Since the program started, 38 acres of natural areas are in restoration, more than 20,000 native trees and shrubs have been planted and more than 37,000 hours of volunteer work have been logged. That translates into an estimated total value of $767,000 that the city has saved! This program provides the best “bang for the buck,” and it creates healthy natural areas that provide clean air, better water quality and homes for bird and other wildlife.
The city provides coordi-nation of all the volunteer work. Private donations and grants have provided much
of the funding for the small staff and for the work done in the parks. Unfortunately, grants are drying up and it is difficult to rely on yearly pri-vate donations. With current funding, the city is struggling to just maintain the pro-gram, much less expand the program in areas where there is neighborhood interest. Park Proposition 2 on the November ballot will make the program sustainable so that it will be able to continue its crucial work in natural area parks throughout the city. The program is creating a better environment for all of us and for future generations.
Please vote YES on Propo-sition 2 to help improve our parks! Nona Ganz, Kirkland
McAuliffe wants to dig deeper into our wallets
They say that engaging in politics is like watching sausage being made. Last year I got a frightening glimpse of how Democrat Rosemary McAuliffe, Washington State Senator in the 1st Legislative District wanted to gather more meat for the State Sau-sage Machine.
In March 2011, McAuliffe and two Legislative District 1 representatives held a few town hall meetings. The other speakers were Rep. Derek Sanford (D), and Rep. Luis Moscoso (D).
Sharing their ideas on how to increase state revenues, McAuliffe told the audience that the three big loopholes in state tax revenue were food, prescription drugs and manufacturing. Loopholes? Homeowners are losing eq-uity, food prices are skyrock-eting, and jobs are scarce, and she wants to raise taxes?
• Taxing food would most harm the POOR.
• Taxing prescriptions would most harm the EL-DERLY AND INFIRM.
• Taxing businesses also hits the consumer, hurting EVERYONE.
Why would she want to hike taxes on the poor, the elderly and infirm? Why hike taxes on every manufacturer? It made no sense. When money is tight at home, we spend less; that is how government should operate. Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe wants to dig deeper into our wallets and purses. We don’t pay enough yet. When will it ever be enough?
The solution to Washing-ton state’s budget problems is in reducing spending, not increasing taxes. If she won’t work to protect us instead of protecting special interests at the expense of the poor, the
elderly and the average con-sumer, then she is no longer working for us, but against us, for the benefit of a few. And that just ain’t right.
It’s time for new faces in Washington state, starting right here in Legislative District 1. Her challenger for Washington State Sen-ate, LD1 is Dawn McCravey. Dawn offers experience, reason, common sense and has the courage to solve state problems, not seek increased taxes for more studies.
Sandy Guinn (R) and Mark Davies (R) are also running in Legislative District 1 to change the tide of excess spending and taxation, and the erosion of property rights. They are challenging incumbents Derek Sanford (D) and Luis Moscoso (D) for Repre-sentative positions 1 and 2, respectively. Derek and Luis have, in my opinion failed us, just as I believe Rose-mary McAuliffe has done. Joel Kolbo, LD1 resident
McCravey’s responses disconcerting
At a forum at Lock-wood Elementary it was disconcerting to listen to Dawn McCravey’s re-sponse to questions
asked of her. Do you support the Affordable
Care Healthcare Law? Isn’t that settled law? (Hardly a resounding endorsement.) Do you believe in climate change? That’s the prevail-ing opinion. (Opinion vs. fact?) Do you support a woman’s right to choose? That’s a federal issue (eight states with Republican governors have restricted women’s access to choice.) This last question elicited a moment of candor from Dawn where she described late-term abortion as the dismemberment of a baby.
It is concerning that Dawn is running on a singular issue - educa-tion - with a singular fix, charter schools, and is seemingly unfamiliar with issues concerning women’s health, public safety and the science of climate change. Rosemary is homegrown, an open book.
For 34 years she has worked on behalf of the First Legislative District for jobs, safety, and education from preschool to college. Rosemary McAuliffe is by far the better known, better qualified, and better choice for our senator. Vote Rosemary.Cathy Ferbrache-Garrand, Bothell
Disappointment that yard sign was removed
Recently, a Referendum 47 yard sign in support of Mar-riage Equality was removed from our property. We are deeply disappointed in the lack of respect this displayed for first amendment rights and the wider political debate.
My husband and I moved to Kirkland from a commu-nity where political yard signs were routinely stolen and defaced. We sincerely hope that Kirkland is a community that is more thoughtful about the the democratic process and values productive discus-sion over cheap shots and petty theft. It was in this spirit that we erected the sign to in-spire our neighbors to think critically about the upcom-ing election. We will remain optimistic that the person responsible for this theft has a value system and approach to politics that is the exception and not the rule in our town.Pamella Minkler, Kirkland
LWSD can’t keep track of schedule
This is a follow up letter to a previous letter I wrote to the editor.
Lake Washington School District has been judgmental in response to my repeated requests for a school calendar and schedule that respects and supports working parents. Usually they respond that we are given our school calendar in plenty of time to prepare for early releases and random days off.
Monday was our first noon release of the school year for elementary conferences. I was waiting at our school for my students’ conferences. My phone rang with a call from a parent with a child on my bus line. She had been waiting for 30 minutes for the bus to arrive. One of the LWSD bus drivers had forgotten to show up and when I peered around the corner of the building, I could see that the elementary students were standing out-side with a teacher, 40 min-utes after the noon release.
I ask and ask for a normal-ized schedule, and I was the one who was left to call par-ents at different stops along the bus route and explain that they are waiting for their children to arrive at their bus stop after school because LWSD staff can’t keep track of their own schedule. I fully enjoyed the irony!Cynthia Hudson, Kirkland
Vote yes for Kirkland parks
As a past Chamber
president and a local real estate broker with Keller Williams, I am encouraging all of you to consider voting for Proposition 2, the levy for Kirkland parks, in November. Kirkland has always been known for the water, parks, trails and green spaces. This levy ensures that the critical funding necessary for the Cross Kirkland Corridor and the Green Kirkland program is in place.
A city with great parks, trails and water provides a robust and vibrant lifestyle sought after by many. This in turn provides a fertile environment for some of our nation’s best companies that recognize how special it is.
As part of this levy, the cross-corridor trail system, when developed, will provide some relief for our traffic con-gestion by offering alternative commuting options to many of our residents and employ-ees. It offers the opportunity for home-to-work bike or pedestrian commutes, along with direct linkages to many of Kirkland’s schools, parks and business districts.
Having a first class park system comes with responsi-bility. They must be main-
tained in order to provide maximum return on invest-ment and useful for future generations. This comes at a small price tag of about $5 a month for the average hom-eowner. Kirkland is a vibrant, well loved, and well cared for city. Let us do our part to keep it that way.Brenda Nunes, Keller Williams Kirkland
Health care should include sterilization coverage
More and more politicians are stating that they are pro-choice. What choice are they talking about? Shouldn’t men be part of the equation? As far as I know, they are an es-sential contributor to the life of a child. Just as women have a clear choice, men do as well. Our public policy and health care reform should require coverage of male sterilization without cost-sharing. I would like to see more politicians stand up and be counted as pro-choice.

The Ninth Step band members Jonny Koch, Zach
Burrill, Ben Guyer and Michael Honn is just one band that will compete against other teens in One Song, One Chance for an opportunity to win a development package and grand prize from Guitar Center.
“It’s a good opportunity to get our name out in the Kirkland community,” Koch said.
The Ninth Step finished recording in July and have popular songs on Spotify.
One Song, One Chance is the Kirkland Teen Union Building’s second band and artist competi-tion that will take place over the span of two shows on Oct. 6 and 13 and one final contest Oct. 27.
Twenty-two bands com-prised of teenagers 13 to 19 years old will compete for one grand prize and five development pack-ages that include studio time, the opportunity to record their first CD, time with mentors and work-shops for improvement.
But teen coordinator Emily Smith said, “this is more than music, it’s
youth development at its finest” because band members learn music business and how to market their music in multiple ways.
“The people here are awesome,” said Alex Menne, band member of As It Starts, who played last year. “There’s always something going on.”
One Song, One Chance engages other YMCA teens by bringing in those who are involved with the cafe, art and technol-ogy programs KTUB provides. Teens who work in the cafe are trained to earn their food handlers permit so they can serve drinks and refreshments during KTUB events, while teens interested in technology can work on taking photos and shooting live footage of band performances. And merchandise and post-ers are created by teens to promote the event and spread the music.
“It’s framed by staff but the kids are the vehicle for what they want to see,” Smith said.
Smith said their goal to sell out every night is definitely attainable. KTUB has a capacity of 305 seats and she said they are in the process of figuring out additional
seating.Last year 175 guests at-
tended the first show.Patrick May with Kath-
erine’s Broadcast said the key to being successful in the competition is to accrue a lot of fans.
“Sell tickets! Call every-body, call your grandma,” May said.
Katherine’s Broadcast was one of six bands that made it to the final com-petition last year.
Each band sells their own tickets at a discount-ed price before the show and tickets are available at the door as well.
Five or six local judges base their decision from the crowds’ response, the quality of how the bands performed and the num-ber of tickets they’ve sold if it comes down to a tie.
This year five winners will get to partake in a development package that provides 35 hours of recording time or five songs, image develop-ment, a mentor, and graphics and tools to make shirts.
“It’s to set them up for success,” said music coor-dinator Matt Bacnis.
The grand prize includes strings, picks, drumsticks, a guitar tuner pedal and a $100 gift card courtesy of Guitar Center.
All band members who participate receive a $5 gift card to Guitar Center.

CommunityBRIEFSKirkland students named National Merit semifinalists
As announced by the National Merit Schol-arship Corporation (NMSC), 27 Lake Wash-ington School District (LWSD) high school se-niors qualified as semifi-nalists in the 58th annual National Merit Scholar-ship Program.
A total of 16,000 aca-demically talented high school seniors nationwide have qualified. These students will have the opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,400 National Merit Scholarships, worth more than $32 million, that will be offered next spring.
Students qualified for
these awards by complet-ing the 2011 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program en-trants.
The nationwide pool of semifinalists, which represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring en-trants in each state.
Redmond High School had the highest num-ber of recipients in the district, with 16 students named as semifinalists.
Lake Washington School District National Merit Semifinalists from around Kirkland include:
International Com-munity School, Kirk-land: Amanda Collyer of Woodinville, Priya Ganesan of Redmond, Yena Han , Amanda Lin of Redmond, Smrithi Su-kumar of Sammamish.
Juanita High School, Kirkland: Gabrielle Hsu.
Lake Washington High School, Kirkland: Kather-
ine Roberts.Redmond High School,
Redmond: Daniel Wang of Kirkland.
Lake Washington students on ACT college readiness benchmarks
More Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students than ever scored high enough on each of the four ACT tests to meet the college readiness benchmark for all four subjects – English, math, reading and science.
While nationally only 25 percent of students met this standard and 38 percent met it statewide, 57 percent of the students in LWSD who took the ACT qualified.
That is up from 55 percent last year and con-tinues a rising trend over the last five years, from 50 percent of students in 2008.
This achievement was accomplished despite slightly lower average scores in three of the four subject categories. In 2011, the average ACT scores for students from Lake Washington School District rose in every category, with gains of three or four tenths of a percent in three of four categories and the com-posite score.
In 2012, scores dipped slightly in the same cat-egories but all averages remained higher than the 2010 scores.
The district’s average composite score fell by one tenth from 2011 to 2012, reaching 25.5, still higher than 25.3 average in 2010. State composite scores rose from 22.8 in 2011 to 22.9 in 2012. The national average remained at 21.1. Average scores for Lake Washing-ton students rose in sci-ence, from 24.7 in 2011 to 24.8 in 2012. Washington state scores also rose,
from 22.3 to 22.4 while national score averages stayed flat at 20.9.
LWSD average scores fell by one tenth each in reading and math in 2012. Math scores aver-aged 25.5, higher than the 25.2 average in 2010. The state average in 2012 was 23.1 and the national average in math was 21.1.
LWSD reading scores averaged 25.9, higher
than the 25.6 average for 2010. Reading scores in the state in 2012 averaged 23.3 and national
scores averaged 21.3.
LWSD English scores fell to 25.3 in 2012 from 25.6 in 2011 but remained higher than the 2010 average of 25.2.
State level English scores remained flat at 22.3 while national Eng-lish scores fell from 20.6 to 20.5.
Lake Washington stu-dents who take the ACT continue to be more likely to meet college readiness standards than other stu-
dents in Washington state or in the U.S.
Ninety-one percent of LWSD students taking the ACT met the col-lege readiness bench-mark score in English, compared to 76 percent statewide and 67 percent nationwide. In math, 81 percent of district students met the readi-ness benchmark, while at the state level it was 62 percent and 46 percent nationally.
For reading, 82 percent of district students met the benchmark compared to 66 percent statewide and 52 percent nationally.
In science, 61 percent of LWSD students met the readiness bench-mark while 43 percent statewide and 31 percent nationally met that stan-dard.
The number of students in LWSD who took the ACT test rose from 421 in 2011 to 485 in 2012. For more information on the ACT test itself and on national results, go to the ACT website.

and Luna appeared to have just given birth.
� is was just moments a� er Suzanne Shaw Peer-man, 81, was bitten on the upper leg in her driveway in the same area and treated for a similar bite. She was able to get inside her house and close the door.
Osmulski and Peerman went to Evergreen Hos-pital’s emergency room for bite wounds. Doctors packed Osmulkski’s gash with antibiotics, wrapped it and diagnosed her with post traumatic stress disor-der because she described feeling very anxious and fearful of being around the dogs again, she said. She doesn’t live far from where the incident occurred.
Both women feel the dogs’ owner Louis Valente Lopez Chavez, 19, should pay for their medical bills. Animal control � ned Chavez, a student with a part time job, more than $2,500.
� at day, Chavez and his mother le� the house at around noon - just 30 minutes before the incident. Chavez said he locked the doors and shut
the blinds.“When we got home,
the front door and the back slide door were com-pletely open,” he told the Reporter.
And stranger, he said, was that his mother found blood on the couch inside their living room.
Chavez speculates someone could have let the dogs out. He said he’s seen immigration agents around his home, one even taking photos of his fence, and has had o� cials pull him over while he was driving his dad’s vehicle. He believes they are look-ing for his father, who has been away for some time.
A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the agency would not con� rm or deny the existence of an investigation in the Kirkland area.
Chavez has had the dogs since they were puppies.
“� ey’re good dogs,” he said. “� ey’re loyal and they protect my little sister. � ey like to be loved just like any other dog. But when I (take them on a walk) people look at me like I have a gun in my pocket.”
Peerman and Osmulski say they both have a love of dogs but these dogs were vicious. Both say they didn’t provoke the dogs at all - they were mind-ing their own business. Chavez said when he returned home, the dogs were shaking as though they were terri� ed.
One week before the ac-cident, an o� cer met with Chavez for an unrelated incident, according to police documents, and during the encounter Chavez said: “� e male pit bull had attacked a child at a park approximately one month ago.” � e report continues: “(Chavez) told her that he would like to give the dog away but felt that he would have to neuter it � rst.”
Yogi and Luna will be put down if Chavez doesn’t redeem them by the end of the week and relocate them to another county, he said.
“We can’t a� ord to take them back (from RASKC),” he said.
Chavez sold all of Luna’s recent puppies but hopes that he will be able to get one back if his dogs are put to sleep.

Businesses are o� en known for contribut-ing to their commu-
nities and neighborhoods. More o� en than not this takes the form of � nancial contributions, sponsorships, donations of equipment etc. Consider volunteer-ing your time and the time of your colleagues in serving some of the com-munity needs in a “hands on” fashion. Giving money and “stu� ” is important and needy organiza-tions and services depend greatly upon the kind dona-tions given by businesses. But it is the “hands on” where businesses and organizations show their true colors.
Volunteering as a company in a “one-o� ” e� ort (speci� c task or service project rather than a weekly commitment) takes some forward planning including scheduling the amount of time to be given, who will be involved, what organization will you provide volunteer services to and – not the least – what message are you giving regarding your “hands on donation?” Needy organizations are conscious of the pre-planning required for these e� orts and the work it takes for an organization to provide a “team” of people to help.
Let’s consider some of the reasons why you should volunteer as a team, where multiple people from a single organization volunteer to serve needy organizations who in turn are serving the needs of our communities.
Focusing upon the served organiza-tion, teams can do the following:
• Bring a group used to working to-gether to focus upon a single project.
• Due to the collective synergy
already existent in the group, providing leadership in sepa-rate tasks within the project.
• Concentrate an enor-mous amount of leverage (numbers, bodies) over a short period while getting a great deal done.
• Demonstrate to other organizations that they can volunteer as a team as well in future projects.
Focusing upon the orga-nization that is volunteering their team, consider the following:
• A substantial “teambuild-ing” function that further unites the participants from within the same company.
• A chance to see each other in another e� ort, not related to their existing busi-ness and the commitment
that each one makes.• A chance to establish the
business / organization as a community citizen that ac-tively participates in serving the need of the community, and
• Providing a legacy of service, of public involvement so necessary to the positive reputation of a community involved business or organi-zation.

LWIT recognized as a top Military friendly school
Lake Washington Institute of Technology is one of Washington’s community and techni-cal colleges named as top military friendly schools in the nation according to G.I. Jobs magazine.
� e 2013 Military Friendly Schools list released this week honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities, and
trade schools that do the most to ensure the suc-cess of military service members, veterans and spouses.
G.I. Jobs magazine compiled the list through research and data-driven analysis of surveys from more than 12,000 schools nationwide, along with a survey of more than 3,000 student veterans. � e results were indepen-dently audited by national accounting giant Ernst & Young. LWIT was among only 1,739 schools nation-wide to make the list.

Sustainability is a word that has been used with increasing
frequency in the last few years, and one Redmond teen is learning firsthand what exactly the word means as a member of the Watershed Report Stu-dent Leadership Team.
Josef Benzaoui, a junior at the International Community School in Kirkland, joined the team about a year and a half ago after learning about it at a Redmond Youth Part-nership Advisory Com-mittee (RYPAC) meet-ing. Peter Donaldson, executive producer and leadership coach for the Watershed Report, came in as a guest speaker and shared with the teens an overview of what they do.
Benzaoui said he be-came interested because the project would give him an opportunity to draw on technical skills he gained while creating a documentary video for the National History Day competition. He would also have the chance to learn more about how he could help the environ-ment.
“(The Watershed Report) seemed like an interesting combination,” the 16-year-old said.
LOCAL SUSTAINABILIT Y EFFORTS
The program is one of four with Friends of the Cedar River Watershed, a nonprofit whose mis-sion is to engage people to enhance and sustain watersheds through res-toration, education and stewardship.
The Watershed Report is a series of short videos produced by high-school students that track posi-tive sustainability trends in the 13 school districts and 28 cities of the great-er Lake Washington Wa-tershed. This is the land area in which rainwater drains to Lake Wash-ington and out through the Hiram Chittenden Locks in Seattle’s Bal-lard neighborhood. The students cover all aspects of sustainability ranging from green infrastructure to transportation to waste management.
“Every habit we have, especially with storm wa-ter…has a huge impact,” Donaldson said.
Benzaoui said one interesting thing he has learned from his time on the team has been how much green and sustain-able work is being done in King County and the greater Seattle area. He said they have learned about and visited various
sites such as the Bullitt Center in Seattle, the greenest commercial building in the world, and the zHome in Is-saquah, which uses a net energy of zero at the end of the year.
“That was one of the big things that was an eye opener for me,” Benzaoui said.A STUDENT-RUN PRODUCTION
This is the Watershed Report’s third year and they currently have 16 student members repre-senting seven school dis-tricts — Lake Washing-ton, Bellevue, Issaquah, Northshore, Seattle, Shoreline and Tahoma — Donaldson said. New videos are produced each year with the most up-to-date information collect-ed by the students, who do the research work, as well as the video work.
This process students go through is called Watershed College and they receive more than 100 hours of training in systems thinking, project management, policy analysis, public speaking and broadcast journal-ism, Donaldson said. He added that the program has now partnered with Bellevue College and students can now earn college credit through Running Start.
The new videos recently premiered at a special screening event at the REI store in down-town Seattle. The annual event is student produced and members from the Watershed Report team present their findings and share their personal experiences to a crowd of 150-200.
Donaldson said people who attend include local decision makers such as city council members, school board members, King County officials, local chambers of com-merce, rotary clubs and other civic organizations. Other attendees for the screening event include local green business lead-
ers and emerging green business networks, as well as educators and school green teams.
“Some of them come every year,” Donaldson said.SPREADING THE WORD
After this screening, he said, comes what they call the community rollout, which includes students addressing their local city councils, school districts, chambers of commerce and rotary clubs — or the “Big Four.”
Another aspect of the Watershed Report is making them useful to schools’ curriculum so the videos are about six
to nine minutes.Benzaoui said he thinks
it is very important for young people to learn about sustainability early — especially as he predicts a lot of sustain-ability-related jobs will be created in the next 10-15 years.
Benzaoui isn’t sure if he will pursue a career in the field, but said he is con-sidering studying busi-ness in college. He said will probably combine the green business mentality he has learned from his Watershed Report experi-ence with whatever he pursues in the future.
“In the long term, it’ll save you money,” he said.

Investing in precious metalsBy Ralph Solomon
Redmond Rare coins LLC
Ten years ago the U.S. dollar was worth $1.20 in goods and services anywhere in the world, today it’s fallen to the low .70’s. The price of gold and silver has not gone up but it takes more scraps of paper to own it. Owning precious metals is simply a hedge against the U.S. dollar.
The U.S. debt stands at $16 trillion dollars and will go well over $20 trillion in the near future. As part of the “pie chart” of your life you should own anywhere from 5-20 percent of your net worth in gold and silver. We
teach our customers how to understand the bullion busi-ness every day so no one can
rip them off. Metal prices are sold based upon the current “spot” price at the NY Comex
plus a small markup. The markup is the cost to produce the metal (including a small
profit) into a round or bar based upon the country of origin or private manufactur-
er. We add 1 1/2 percent gross profit to the golds’ cost and 2 percent to the silver cost.

So many women, all with di� erent
stories, but bound with a common thread. Breast can-cer. Two very scary words to anyone on the receiving end of the statement, “It’s cancer.”
One in eight women will get breast cancer, so look around you — at your mother, wife, sisters, girlfriends — one of these ladies you love will be on the receiving end of this terrible news. But for one day, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, made a shipload of survi-vors feel special and honored. For a � � h year, Holland American Line hosted a luncheon and program for survivors on board the beautiful ship, the Oosterdam, while she was in the Port of Seattle.
� e excitement was palpable as the survivors boarded the 1,000-foot-long, world-class luxury vessel. It was a crisp, sunny September day. Uniformed sta� tended to our every need. � e luncheon was haute cuisine. Wine was served. Dessert was a decadent chocolate tort. As a breast cancer survivor myself, I welcomed the chance to share stories with those who knew exactly what I had gone through. At the table, we talked and laughed like we were old friends — already members of the sisterhood. Brigitte, from Everett, was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer nine years ago. She was told she had six months to live. “I never once thought cancer,” she said. She got a second opinion, di� erent treatment, and she’s still here today, although she is living with advanced bone cancer now. She looks good. � e loving support of her husband has sustained her, she said.
Celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness MonthKomen for the Cure ‘treats’ survivors

Seated next to her at the table was her neighbor, Molly, who was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer a� er a normal mammogram. “You think you get a mammogram and you’re good to go,” Molly said. Not so.
Others at the table told of the a� er-math of some treatments that caused lymphedema, swelling of the lymph glands that can be painful and delay further treatment or reconstruc-tion. Patti of Tacoma sought the care of a naturopath to help her through treatment. Patti’s friend, Julie, also of Tacoma, had a lumpectomy followed by radiation six months ago. So far, so good.
A� er the lunch, we were ushered to the Oosterdam’s large auditorium, where a waiter greeted us with a choice of pink champagne or pink lemonade for the program. It was humbling to see all of these women — all of these survivors, even a few men (yes, men can get breast cancer) in one place — a sea of pink! Cheryl Shaw, executive director of Komen Puget Sound, herself a survivor, fought back tears as she addressed the crowd, admonishing them never to give up. “We need more survivors — you’re all indeed my sisters, whether you know it or not,” she said.
Shaw acknowledged that this has been a di� cult year for the Komen organi-zation. But she reminded the women that Komen is the largest private funder of mammograms in the state. Next, Oosterdam Captain, Arjen Van der Loo himself, welcomed the crowd. Guests of his ship have raised $3 mil-lion for Komen over the past � ve years by doing a 5K walk around the deck, he said. With that, a Vegas-worthy show began, � lled with song, dance and fabulous costumes by entertainers who performed on their day o� . We disembarked into the sunshine, feeling stronger, lighter.

Dan Kinley felt help-less.
He watched as his mother su� ered through breast cancer for more than � ve years. � e disease eventually took her life, and her son had no idea how he could contribute.
So he walked. And he kept walking.
Kinley has been participat-ing in the Susan G. Komen
3 Day walk ever since. � e walk is another spoke of Komen’s wheel to � ght and eradicate breast cancer. Kin-ley knows the pain the dis-ease can in� ict on families, so he continues to pitch in.
“It is something I do to keep up the � ght,” he said.
� e three-day walk hap-pens in cities all around the country, and the Seattle area was the focus this weekend. Walkers began the journey at CenturyLink Field in Se-
attle Friday, Sept. 14, before making the trek across the Interstate 90 bridge over to the Eastside. � roughout the weekend, walkers will hike through Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland. Walkers go 20 miles each day before retiring to a camp put together by Komen with tents, a dining hall and other amenities. Each walker is required to raise $2,300 to walk.
For many of the walkers, the disease has touched their family. Others, like Brian McSweeney, a � re� ghter from Joint Base Lewis Mc-Chord, saw the tragedy unfold amongst friends. Each of his three closest friends
lost their mother to breast cancer. So he decided to walk for them, fully dressed in his uniform, with the words “3-Day Captain” across his helmet in temperatures over 70 degrees.
As the walkers trudged around the Eastside this weekend, they were met by supporters along the way. Many of them also had an experience with the disease, while others were just there to support friends.
Of all those in attendance, Ashlee McKenney and Kim Faretra may have stood out the most. � ey spent the day Saturday driving to the two rest stops along the way, and then, clad in giant chicken costumes, they danced to Salt ‘n’ Pepa’s Push It on repeat. It was by no means their � rst round with the suits, having used them several times for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. It gave the walkers a good laugh, and many stopped
to pose for pictures. But for McKenney and Faretra, both of Maple Valley, it was their way to show gratitude toward the people � ghting to stop breast cancer.
“I think it’s important to support your communities because you never know when you are going to be the one to need help,” Faretra said.

Most of us have been bul-lied at some point, whether we endured teasing, name-calling, or even physical aggression. Although the initial sting may go away, the memories of the experience haunt some people for the rest of their lives. You may forever be self-conscious about a crooked nose, your weight, or the way you dress — all because a bully made fun of you in middle school.
Research estimates that
on any given day, 160,000 children miss school because they’re afraid of being bullied. Encountering a bully can ruin a child’s school experi-ence. Now with cyberbul-lying, your child can be attacked in the safety of your own home. Bullying is more than a childhood rite of pas-sage, it can lower self-esteem, increase rates of depression and suicide, and negatively impact a child’s academic performance.
Bullying occurs at almost any age, but it’s most prevalent in middle school. As a parent, it’s important to recognize the warning signs of a child being bullied. � ese may include emotional signals such as withdrawal, a drop in grades or loss of friends; and visible e� ects such as torn clothing, bruises or other signs of � ghting. An-other indication of bullying is when your child becomes upset about going to school,
sports practice, daycare, or wherever the bullying is oc-curring.
Danny Hanson, who over-sees the PEACE Anti-bully-ing Program at Youth Eastside Services, recommends that parents encourage children to start with simple steps a� er tell-ing school personnel about the problem. First, avoid a bully by playing in a di� erent area. Because there is safety in numbers, he also suggests hanging out with a buddy. Finally, Danny reminds parents to encourage kids who witness bullying to speak up and report it to teachers or an adult, even if it wasn’t directed at them.
It’s important to encour-
age your child to tell you when another child is being hurtful, either physically or emotionally. Let your child know that you are there to
help. Dismissive statements like “It’s no big deal,” can shut down further communication, since bullying is a very big deal to a child.
Don’t assume your child knows how to talk to a teacher or coun-
selor if the incidents involve a classmate. Rehearse how to ask an adult for help—ideally before any bullying has occurred. O� er some ways to help your son or daughter stand-up for to a bully without being confron-
tational, which can aggravate the situation. For example, discuss a made-up scenario or one from your childhood, and talk through ways that your child could respond.
Check in regularly to ascertain if your child con-tinues to be bullied. You may need to get involved and talk to school personnel. Unless you have an existing relation-ship with a family, it’s best to avoid confronting a child bully or the parents of a bully. � is can back� re and result in more aggressive behavior. If your child is having a dif-� cult time overcoming the harm in� icted by a bully, it may be a good idea to seek counseling to avoid long-term issues.

In this article, we use the terms “parent” and “caregiver” somewhat
interchangeably, since many families also include single parents, step-par-ents, grandparents, friends and daycare as part of their childcare network.
Many parents and caregivers of small children are just happy to make it to the end of the day, a� er all the decisions, occa-sional tantrums, happy victories and skinned knees have gone by in a blur. � e entire day can pass, seemingly without rhyme, reason or order.
It could be surprising to know that researchers say most parenting activities fall into just a handful of recognizable categories, and that based on these factors, people generally display one of four parent-ing styles.
So is it a sure recipe for disaster when two parents or caregivers have di� erent styles? In a word, no. But more on that later. First, let’s take a quick look at basic parenting activities, and what parenting styles evolve from them.
Most parenting usually revolves around disciplin-ary strategies, warmth and nurturing, communication styles, and expectations of maturity and control. Resulting parenting styles include:
• Authoritarian par-enting — Children are expected to follow strict rules or be punished.
• Authoritative parent-
ing — Rules exist, but in a more democratic envi-ronment. Caregivers are responsive and willing to listen to questions. Experts agree that this model is
most e� ective in terms of promot-ing development in children and encouraging cooperation.
• Permissive parenting — � ese caregivers are responsive but lenient, mak-ing few demands of their children and rarely disci-plining them.
• Uninvolved parenting — � ese caregiv-ers make few demands and show little responsiveness or communication.
What if the other care-giver is more permissive and you prefer to lay down the rules? � e reality is that there’s nothing wrong with di� erent approaches — in fact, your children learn to adapt to more than one
way of dealing with people, which is actually good for their development.
Here are some tips to help navigate the waters of di� erent parenting styles:
• Honor the other per-son’s parenting style and don’t undermine it.
• When you disagree over decisions that grow out of parenting styles, try to be � exible and meet in the middle. Don’t force the children to decide whose rule to follow or be punished — the caregivers must make these compro-mises � rst.
• Decide on the big-ger goal or picture for your caregiving team, and try picking duties based on your strengths. For example, your partner might enjoy taking the kids out to play soccer on the weekend, and you might do better at running the bedtime routine.
Regardless of parenting styles and how caregiv-ers decide to divvy up the duties, remember that
the key is to respect each other and work together with a shared goal in mind — raising happy, healthy children.

When My Home Furni-ture and Decor relocated to the malls in July, Jamieson Furniture Gallery, which paid for and shared show-room space with My Home, stayed in the old Costco building location.
“One of the many reasons that I chose not to continue in business with My Home Furniture and Decor and move along with them to Totem Lake (Malls) was because I was advised by the property manager at Totem Lake Malls that the building was outdated and they planned to tear the mall down in 24 months and rebuild a more mod-ern structure,” Jamieson Furniture co-owner Rich Jamieson said.
Malls’ co-owner Coventry Real Estate Advisors did not return a call from the Re-porter regarding a potential redevelopment date.
Kirkland City o� cials said during a recent Totem Lake Conversations event that the current leases for businesses at the malls are “less than 10 years.”
Jamieson plans to stay in the building until the end of December until the city be-gins work on a new public safety building.
Jamieson Furniture Gal-lery is very competitive, he said, because half of their work is custom design. His handcra� ed wood furniture is uniquely created by wood imported from Indonesia and designed by Jamieson.
� e furniture cra� er says he became a designer a� er he built kilms for a consultant in Indonesia. He says he didn’t care for their designs so he created his own and pitched his ideas. Six years later the � rm is still using his ideas.
Jamieson has been a Kirkland resident for almost a decade and says his work has � ourished a� er being away from My Home’s
umbrella.“Business in Bellevue is
good,” he said. “We’re selling close to triple than what we were doing before.”
Jamieson opened his new location on Sept. 1 in Bel-levue o� of Main Street and will be liquidating his pieces at the original spot with special sales going on now and through the holidays.
Relocating to the Totem Lake Malls wasn’t enough for Jamieson Furniture Gallery, along with two new Kirkland businesses - Be One Yoga Studio and Five Guys Burgers and Fries. However, those new busi-nesses have managed to � nd one sweet spot in the Totem Lake Business District.
Be One Yoga Studio opens
When Be One Yoga Stu-dio co-owners Casey Stew-art, Elena Radic and Kami Betker went into the Totem Lake Malls to check the space out they all perceived it as “completely dead.”
But they wanted to keep
their business in Kirkland. � ey chose their current location at 11220 N.E. 124th Street near QFC because of its visibility, ability to stand alone and its natural light.
“We all love Kirkland,” said Stewart. “We have good relationships and are well received in the community.”
� e women have been in a two-year process to � gure out the logistics and loca-tion of their business, Be One Yoga Studio. � e studio is set to open Nov. 5.
“We want to o� er some-thing better, more complete. Our experiences have shown us the downfalls (of hot yoga studios),” Stewart said.
Be One will specialize in hot yoga and children’s yoga for two years and up. Massage therapy will also be provided by Betker and her husband who are both massage therapists. � e trio hope to � ll their studio with 10 to 12 yoga instruc-tors and have a goal of 500 new students in their � rst month.
� e yoga studio will share
a building with Five Guys Burgers and Fries. � ey say they have taken precautions for containing the smell of the food but are happy the fast food chain will be join-ing them.
“We’re hoping it works to our advantage, where people go to eat and then come into our studio,” laughs Betker.
Five Guys Burgers and Fries
Kirkland resident and Five Guys owner Joe Iraqi agrees.
“(Having a yoga studio next door) is a good com-binatio n. We joke and say ‘people can eat the calories and then lose them,” said Iraqi, noting the restaurant is set to open this January.
Iraqi said he chose the location because of its prox-imity to the freeway and its high visibility. � e malls in Totem Lake were not an option, he says, because “there’s not much business
there. Everybody was talk-ing about redevelopment.”
Despite the rumors, the malls’ redevelopment is complicated because co-owners Coventry Real Estate Advisors and De-velopers Diversi� ed Realty have been involved in an ongoing lawsuit.
Iraqi will put up nine Five Guys Burgers and Fries from SR 520 to the north border of King County.
Five Guys Burgers and Fries has been ZAGAT sur-vey rated every year since 2001 and has been voted the Washingtonian Maga-zine’s “Readers’ Choice” number one burger every year since 1999.
Iraqi says he plans to hire 40 to 45 employees and is in the process of hiring management right now.
“We’re di� erent than other burger places because we don’t freeze, we make patties fresh, we hand cut potatoes, make our veggies fresh and go above and be-yond (in the treatment of) our customers,” Iraqi said.

EvergreenHealth and Valley General Hos-pital have announced
the intent to form a new af-� liation that will give Sno-homish County residents more choices and access to the integrated, high-quality services o� ered by EvergreenHealth and its partners Virginia Mason Medical Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
Valley General Hospital’s Board of Commissioners voted unanimously last week to approve a Let-ter of Intent (“LOI”) to enter into an agreement that would make Valley General Hospital an a� liate of EvergreenHealth. � e EvergreenHealth Board of Commissioners is expected to review and approve the LOI in its board meeting scheduled for Oct. 2 (a� er Reporter deadline).
Under the terms of the LOI, both organizations will remain independent and separately governed, licensed and accredited. � e organizations expect to complete due diligence and � nalize the a� liation agreement by the end of the year. Neither organization foresees any reduction in sta� as a result.
� e LOI calls for Ever-greenHealth and Valley General to collaborate to provide expanded health care services in Monroe, beginning with Ever-greenHealth developing a primary-care practice in the Sky River Medical O� ce Building in Valley General space.
Both EvergreenHealth, based in Kirkland, and Valley General, which serves Snohomish County from Monroe, operate as tax-supported community-based organizations with similar � nancial structures. � e a� liation enables Ev-ergreenHealth to improve Valley General’s current position with ad-ditional resources from Evergreen-Health, including its executive team and network of 900 providers.
“We’re committed to providing high-quality care at the lowest possible cost, and with this a� liation, we’ll be able to uphold that pledge to our patients,” said Michael Fraser, interim CEO of Valley General. “By working with Ever-greenHealth, not only will we bolster our services to patients, but we will strengthen our organiza-tion as a whole.”
“Medical centers around the country are facing tough economic challenges, many of which hit hospitals in smaller communities the
hardest,” said Evergreen-Health CEO Bob Malte. “� is a� liation is one step to help address these � -nancial hurdles and to help keep health care widely available and a� ordable to those we’re committed to serve.”
Valley General’s patients will also have access to care through EvergreenHealth’s existing partnerships with Virginia Mason Medical Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
“Our communities are so closely aligned, with
many sta� members and patients residing and
working in the same areas of service, that our a� liation is truly a natural
progression,” said Fraser.
� e size and quality of EvergreenHealth’s profes-sional sta� and campus fosters an environment of superior and varied care, resulting in a number of recent regional and national awards, including two consecutive Health-Grades Outstanding Patient Experience Awards™, ranking EvergreenHealth in the top 10 percent of hospitals nationwide. In 2012, HealthGrades also named EvergreenHealth a Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence for the fourth consecutive year.
EvergreenHealth has been awarded top marks for Patient Safety by Consumer Reports as well.
“Many Valley General primary care patients al-ready use EvergreenHealth’s celebrated specialty care services nearby, and this partnership will increase access to those services for thousands of patients in Snohomish County,” said Fraser.
“Valley General is such a beloved hospital to its patients and sta� throughout Snohomish County. We’re eager to identify more opportunities to boost services and build even stronger relationships through this collaboration,” said Malte.
� e LOI also calls for EvergreenHealth to provide consultative and contractu-al management services to Valley General, which will be designed to help it de-velop a long-term plan for � nancial solvency, clinical services and high-quality performance.
A subcommittee will form an A� liation Gover-nance Council (ACG) to ensure satisfaction by both parties, with representation from two EvergreenHealth commissioners and one Valley General commis-sioner, as well as executive leaders. � e ACG will meet to discuss shared decision-making in the a� liation and oversight for a mutu-ally bene� cial agreement.

Is the traditional fam-ily dinner a thing of the past? Is it overval-
ued as an institution that was once a cornerstone of the American home but has become obso-lete with changing times? In today’s households where both parents go to work and kids have busy sched-ules with school, homework and an array of a� ernoon activities, � nding time for a gathering at the table seems all but impossible.
Yet, studies have shown time and again that eating together has multiple bene� ts for everyone involved, but especially for children, and not only for nutritional purposes but in many other aspects as well.
According to a number of study reports issued by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia Uni-versity (CASA), children who eat at least � ve times a week with their fam-ily are at lower risk of developing poor eating
habits, weight problems or alcohol and substance dependencies, and tend to perform better aca-demically than their peers who frequently eat alone
or away from home.
To be sure, the iconic fam-ily meal, as for example depicted by the painter Norman Rock-well, came only into American
life in the mid-20th cen-tury. In the 6os and 70s, profound social, eco-nomic and technological changes quickly dissolved that short-lived idyll. Restaurant visits, take-out and TV dinners have since become the norm rather than the exception.
� ere are indications, however, that the old customs are coming back, at least in parts. Accord-ing to the latest CASA reports, 59 percent of surveyed families said they ate dinner together at least � ve times a week, a signi� cant increase from 47 percent in 1998. Whatever drives this
trend, it is a development that should be welcomed.
Eating together as a family is not just about food and nutrition. It is about civilizing children, about teaching them how to become mem-bers of their society and culture, says Robin Fox, a professor who teaches anthropology at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Food has become such a ubiquitous commod-ity, so easily and cheaply available, we no longer appreciate its signi� cance, he says. We have to redis-cover its importance and its value. Sharing a meal with loved ones should be considered a special event, he says, that can almost take on the form of a ritual or a ceremony, as it was practiced by our ancestors for whom � nd-ing food was a constant struggle.
Besides appreciation for the value of food and the work that goes into preparing it, there are also many social elements that come into play when families share meals, says Miriam Weinstein,
author of “� e Surprising Power of Family Meals.” � e dinner table can be the perfect environment where kids learn how to conduct conversations, observe good manners, serve others, listen, solve con� icts and compro-mise.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the simple act of eating at home surrounded by family will save children from devel-oping unhealthy lifestyles or making regrettable choices down the road. It may not make them more virtuous or socially more responsible. But it can lay the groundwork for a lot of things that point them in the right direction.

Esther and the King Oct. 19-20
A cast and crew of over 40 children, teens and adults will perform a musical rendition of the Biblical story “Esther and the King” in Kirkland.
The play will be per-formed at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 19, and at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 20.
Admission to all performances is free but tickets are required for admission due to limited seating at each performance. Tickets may be requested online at www.Esther-AndTheKing.com.
All performances will be at the Rose Hill Building of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7720 126th Ave. N.E., in the South Rose Hill neighborhood of Kirkland just off N.E. 85th Street.
Free parking is avail-able.
The program is pre-sented by the Kirkland
Washington Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For ad-ditional information, visit www.EstherAndTheK-ing.com or email [email protected].
The play is based on the Old Testament book of Esther and combines a timeless scriptural story of treachery, faith and courage through song and dance. In the story, King Ahasuerus needs a new queen so all single maidens in the kingdom are invited to “audition.”
Esther is a young Jewish woman who
is encouraged by her uncle Morde-cai to meet with the king with-
out revealing her heritage, and ends up
being chosen to be the new queen of the land. She continues to hide her religion from the Persian royalty until anti-Semitic tensions — led by Ha-man, one of the royal princes — rise in the kingdom and her people are threatened.
Will Esther be willing to confess her heritage to the King — putting her own life directly at risk — to save her people?

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fi ts your budget ... in just one day!*
A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT
Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were diffi cult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day*… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery.
TECHNOLOGY
Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan. The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses.
Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile.
TEAM OF SPECIALISTS
The technology alone cannot elevate ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers in their fi eld. Our technology is paired with an expert professional team of doctor specialists enabling ClearChoice to empower so many patients around the country to change their lives. These qualifi ed specialists include an oral surgeon who places implants, and a prosthodontist who designs your custom new smile. Each of the doctors has special expertise and can be trusted to deliver your high quality implant care. Dental Implants are a surgical procedure and the ClearChoice doctors have extensive experience in this area including administering anesthesia to provide comfort. Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab.
Our local specialists are available for a FREE initial consultation or even second opinions. Why wait, call now!
SATISFACTION & WARRANTY
Whether for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole mouthful of missing or failing teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably in a fraction of the time it would take many other professionals. That’s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others† and we warranty our work.

Before After
“I suffered with bad teeth since I was a teenager. Imagine dealing with failing teeth so young in life. As a musician, I’m often in front of an audience. I wanted a rock star smile ... and now I have one.” - Kurt C., real ClearChoice patient
