King County executive Dow Constantine proposed paying the Port of Seattle $15.8 mil-lion for nearly 20 miles of the Eastside Rail Corridor last week. If accepted, the disused railway that occupies the corridor would go to public ownership and connect the Eastside in more ways than one.

“� is corridor is poised to become an important transportation link among Eastside

suburbs,” said Redmond Councilmember Kathy Lambert in a news release. “� e opportunities for dual use of the corridor could include a path for non-motorized use alongside passenger rail transit. Establishing public ownership and access to this transportation resource is a major achievement for King County.”

� e corridor spans from Redmond to Renton and cuts through many Kirkland neighbor-hoods. It has been an ongoing project for the council for about 20 years.

“We see it as a good thing,” said David God-frey, transportation engineering manager of Kirkland. “If developed, it will help connect the north and south region.”

� e city is in the process of developing the use of its own corridor, the Cross Kirkland Corridor, bought from the Port of Seattle last spring.� e Council purchased 5.75 miles of the 44-mile long Eastside Rail Corridor on April 13, 2012 for $5 million.

The Totem Lake Malls have long been under-occupied by businesses but a new

tenant on the south end and other surrounding developments could help to revitalize the Totem Lake area.

“� e plan is that Totem Lake will become a major site over the next few years,” said Eric Shields, city planning director. “We are welcoming new developments.”

Despite the nearly empty Totem Lake Malls, the Totem Lake neighborhood has been an area of growth. Recent data indicate 36 percent of Kirkland jobs are located in Totem Lake with only 11 percent of Kirkland’s population on 13 percent of the city’s acreage. � e Evergreen Hospital Medical Center, located in the neighbor-hood, is one of Kirkland’s biggest employers and employs 3,290 workers.

But plans to further develop the neighborhood include a nearly � nished 50,000 square foot L.A. Fitness scheduled for a grand opening Oct. 1, a 108-unit apart-ment complex called Slater 116 – expected to � nished near the end of 2013 and a 24 Hour Fitness, which has yet to apply for building permits.

“We have zoned Totem Lake to accommodate high-density devel-opment,” Shields said.

� e L.A. Fitness will employ more than 40 workers and is the

second “signature club” in Wash-ington. � e � rst is in Ballard.

� e gym will include a bas-ketball and racquetball court, a “Kids Klub,” a lap pool, saunas, an Emerald City Smoothie, cycling classes and group � tness - yoga, kick boxing and cardio classes - and personal training. Hundreds of weights and cardio equipment are also available for members who want to pay between $29 and $50 a month.

General manager Kristi Tran said the construction costs equate to about $30 million. � ere are currently 500 L.A. Fitnesses na-tionwide and this will be the 23rd in Washington.

� e gym will replace Dan’s Sporting Goods. And Tran said they’ve expanded the building by a signi� cant amount.

Developers chose 12618 120th Avenue N.E. because of various de-mographics, nearby residential and corporate areas and also because of its proximity to Trader Joe’s, which

has a “� ood of people,” accord-ing to assistant manager Zachary � ompson.

He notes the freeway also has a lot of to do with its location, as well as its scarce competition.

“� e community is lacking in � tness facilities,” � ompson said.

Jessica Lozeau, who was signing up to become a member, said she is attracted to the gym because it’s “really close to home” and has group classes such as yoga.

� e new gym will see competi-tion when the 24 Hour Fitness’ permit application goes through.

“� ey have � led for a Tenant Improvement Permit,” Shields said, “which means they will not be building a new structure.”

He said the gym’s expected loca-tion will be where the CompUSA, in the south Totem Lake Mall, used to be. According to him, one of

The triathlon will support Hopelink, a local nonprofit that provides social services to at-risk families and indi-viduals in Washington.

Barber said a big truck will be available to drop off donated canned food or nonparishables for Hopelink. She said that one year when they had an indoor race they ended up with 700 pounds of food with only 200-300 people. Barber anticipates this year’s triathlon will bring in more.

Registration ranges from $105 for group relays to $55 for an individual child.

TriFreaks’ main sponsor is Kirkland-based Cobalt

Mortgage, a company that provides financing to homebuyers. Cobalt Mort-gage will provide finisher medals and T-shirts.

“Their president is a huge advocate for a healthy workplace and they have a really active community of employees,” Barber said.

Fifteen employees, including the president, will compete. Others will help volunteer on the course.

“We enjoy supporting community activities that promote positive choices, good health and personal achievement,” Cobalt Presi-dent Keith Tibbles said.

Other sponsors include Lake Washington Physical Therapy, Clear Chiroprac-tic, Sammamish Valley Cycle, Barleans organic oils and Erin’s Baker’s Breakfast Cookies.

Kirkland is reaching out to the public through a 16-question survey to under-stand how the public values its trees. Citizens have until Sept. 14 to respond.

� e survey results will be included into a “strategic plan,” which will be pre-sented to the Kirkland City Council at an Oct. 2 study session.

Ultimately, the plan will guide the way Kirkland manages its urban forest.

For more than a decade, Kirkland has upheld street tree-planting requirements in developments through piecemeal policies, city of-� cials say.

With these measures, Kirkland steadily progressed toward its city-wide 40 per-cent tree canopy cover goal, improving from 32 percent in 2003 to 36 percent in 2010. And then, on June 1, 2011, Kirkland achieved its canopy goal all at once with the annexation of Kingsgate, North Juanita and Finn Hill.

“Many of the old ‘To Do List’ items are checked o� ,” said Deb Powers, Kirkland’s urban forester. “� e City has taken huge steps to manage its tree resource. But, if we’re thinking about sustainable cities, the questions now are: were these measures e� ec-tive? Where do we go from here?”

To answer these questions, the City of Kirkland con-tracted the Davey Resource Group to analyze the City’s existing policies and prac-tices. � e resulting Urban Forest Strategic Management Plan, paid for with a Wash-ington state Department of Natural Resources grant, will be Kirkland’s � rst complete guide for creating e� cient urban forest operations, policies and programs.

To take the survey, visit www.research.net/s/K28JXQ5. For more in-formation or for questions about the survey, contact urban forester Deb Powers at [email protected].

Trails volunteer sets a high standard

A� er reading your article (“Keeping the trails alive: volun-teer keeps parks walkable,” Aug. 1), I am fairly certain that your Stu Clark was my scoutmaster in the early 1970s while I was living in Paci� c Palisades, Calif.

He was such an inspiration and a cool leader, and he took us to wonderful places.

We were in the Sierras for two weeks, hiking many miles with heavy packs.

I was using one of the standard issue Boy Scout backpacks, and it had an aluminium bar that rubbed on my lower back, actually down to the bone.

We were far from anything, but Stu remained calm, assuring me that all would be well. He stayed with me, even though I was dead last for most of the trip.

I’m glad that Stu is still an inspiration. All of you are blessed to have Stu in your neck of the woods.Tony Degrazia, Allegan, Mich.

Love as Jesus did, OK marriage for all

Opponents of Referendum 74, the referendum that legalizes same sex marriage, will soon deluge us with literature, television and radio adds that are fear based, inaccurate, and full of half-truths. � ey will do this in the name of “religious faith.”

It will not matter that Jesus gave us the great commandment to love one another as we have been loved by God. It will not matter that Je-sus cautioned all of us not to judge lest we be judged.

It will not matter that the Refer-endum clearly states that religious institutions do not have to perform or recognize same-sex marriage.

It will not matter that the ref-erendum will in no way penalize those same religious institutions for not performing or recognizing same sex marriages.

Have no doubt: you will not be presented with facts or the truth. � e appeal from the opposition will be to emotional fear.

What does matter is that ap-

proving Referendum 74 will honor the long term, committed, loving relationships of couples that happen to be of the same gender. What does matter is that there are many people of faith who assert that love is stronger than fear.

What does matter is that there are many of us who are people of faith who believe we are being faithful by approving Referendum 74.

One of the founders of my faith tradition, Francis David, made the statement in 14th century Europe that I believe applies to our time and this issue: “We need not think alike to love alike.”

As a person of faith, recognizing that we do not all think alike, I ask you to join me in loving alike: Vote to Approve Referendum 74.Rev. Lois E. Van LeerWoodinville Unitarian Universalist Church, Woodinville

Singing the Back To School blues

When my eldest daughter started Kindergarten in Lake Washington

School District three years ago, I was so excited for her to start her elementary educational adventure.

I was also excited to get back to working while she was in school. Little did I realize that Lake Wash-ington School District’s elementary school schedule is virtually prohibi-tive to holding down a job when you are an hourly employee.

With two younger children, we had child care that was able to pick up my Kindergarten daughter on early release Wednesdays, noon release conference days and keep her at home on � ursday-Friday-Monday breaks and LEAP days.

I now have a second child in the elementary school and have had three years to observe how challenging it is for many families to swing child care with such a variable school schedule. Just when families are trying to get back to work, they are given the added burden of � nding expensive and � exible child care throughout the school year.

I have started asking our school district why we need so much vari-

This past week, the Republican Party held its 40th national convention in Tampa, Florida, where more than 2,000 delegates

nominated Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to be their standard bearers for president and vice president.

I watched much of the convention on C-SPAN, because although I disagree with just about every-thing Republicans stand for, I strongly believe in a free exchange of ideas.

At press time, Mitt Rom-ney had yet to address the convention, but most of the other scheduled speakers had. I didn’t care for Paul Ryan’s acceptance speech. To say that it was dishonest would be an understatement. I can’t respond to everything Ryan said here,

but I’ll cover a few lowlights.“I have never seen opponents so silent about

their record, and so desperate to keep their power,” Ryan said early on. “� ey’ve run out of ideas. � eir moment came and went. Fear and division are all they’ve got le� .”

Fear and division? � ose are good words to describe how Republicans like to campaign. Con-trary to what Ryan says, Democrats have many ideas for strengthening our country. � is week, Democrats came together in Charlotte to approve a platform that will lay out the party’s vision for a stronger America - including a plan to lessen money’s in� uence in politics. � e platform were expected to call for passage of the Disclose Act and a constitutional amendment to overturn Supreme Court decisions that wrongly equate corporations with people and money to speech.

Ryan also had the gall to accuse Democrats of being � scally irresponsible: “� ey have no answer to this simple reality: We need to stop spending money we don’t have. It’s not that hard,” he said.

All I could do when I heard that pronounce-ment was laugh. It’s not that hard, eh? When Paul Ryan’s party controlled Congress and the White House, they spent like there was no tomorrow. � ey speedily wiped out the surplus that President Clinton had le� them and kept on going. No exag-geration: Since he was elected to the U.S. House more than a decade ago, Paul Ryan has voted to add a staggering total of $6.8 trillion to our national debt. � at’s right, $6.8 trillion. Trillion, with a T! Most of that debt was created during the Bush years, when Republicans pushed through multiple rounds of budget-busting tax cuts, over-hauled Medicare Part D without paying for it, and � nanced the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan on America’s credit card.

What’s more, Ryan’s disingenuously named

“Path to Prosperity” budget would pile on even more debt, because Republicans have made it plainly clear they are unwilling to either reduce defense spending or raise taxes. � e position they’ve adopted means we’d de� nitely be spending money we don’t have have under a Romney/Ryan administration – even if we completely shredded our safety net.

Ryan also characterized the American Recov-ery and Reinvestment Act as a failure during his speech. He didn’t mention that in 2009, just a� er ARRA had passed with bipartisan support, Ryan sent letters to Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis asking for ARRA

Special to the Reporter

This is about free-dom of speech, and how anyone can

become a target of the hate mongers.

In the fall of 2008, the cyclone fence down by the park-n-ride lot on NE 70th was covered with signs for candidates from both par-ties, but there were none for Barack Obama.

It didn’t seem fair that McCain/Palin should be represented but not Obama/Biden, so I decided to rectify what I thought was just an oversight. I went to Democratic head-quarters in Bellevue and got an Obama sign.

The signs were plastic bags, de-signed to fit over a metal frame, and printed on both sides. I cut the bags in half, attaching each side to a piece of foam-core board, so I got two signs for the price of one.

I already had a hand-made Obama sign in my dining room window, so I

left my sign up, and took one of my newly made semi-offi-cial foam-core signs down to the park-n-ride.

I put the Obama/Biden sign up on the fence

alongside the ones for Gregoire, Rossi, and McCain/Palin. The next morning the Obama sign was

lying on the ground. Had the wind blown

it down? The other signs were okay, so it seemed unlikely, but it could have happened that way, I sup-pose. I put the sign back up. The following day the

sign was in the rain catch-ment basin.

No accident this time. Someone was doing this deliberately. I fished out the sign, cleaned it off, and put it back up. By the next morning, the sign had completely disappeared.

I bought more signs, more foam-core board. I attached a sign to the fence with wires. The wires were snipped and the sign hacked to pieces with a box knife. I mounted a sign on plywood, covered it with Plexiglass and padlocked it to the fence. The Plexiglass

was smashed with a rock. No other signs were ever touched, just the Obama/Biden signs.

It made me angry, but the situation was scary too. As I kept replacing the signs, I thought about all the places in the world where people had died for daring to speak out.

Surely a thing like that couldn’t happen here, in the beautiful city of Kirkland? As a people, as a country, I knew we were better than that.

Yet, these things didn’t just happen. The attacks on the signs weren’t pranks, but showed real malice.

It was chilling to think one of my neighbors was so filled with anger and hate.

In hindsight, I should have called the police. In-stead I just kept doggedly replacing the signs. It was a mistake. I never dreamt things would get personal.

A couple of days before the election, a neighbor asked if she could have one of my signs to put in her yard, so I gave her one of the foam-core ones. During the night, the sign was ripped down and her house was T.P.’d.

The attacker must’ve thought she was the one who’d been putting the signs up down at the park-n-ride and was punishing her for it, and had moved from neutral space onto our street, trespassing, and targeting our homes.

I felt physically sick.

What if he’d decided to do something worse than just T.P. her house in retaliation for putting up the signs?

Am I going to put up Obama signs this year on my house, my car, the fence at the park-n-ride? I haven’t yet decided.

I don’t know who the as-sailant is or where he lives, but I know he’s nearby.

Plus, he’s had four years for his hate and anger to build. Do I want to make myself a target? Yet, if I don’t put up the signs, then hate and intimidation have won, no matter who wins the election.

I guess it’s time to get out the padlocks and the Plexiglass again. Carol Lake is a Kirkland writer. Her work has ap-peared in Northwest Trav-eler, Victoria Magazine, and the Villager among other publications.

ability in our elementary school schedule?

The eight noon release days send children home without a hot lunch.

The 2 p.m. Wednesday releases are great for school faculty meetings, but why not have the same length school day 180 days of the year and take advantage of the flexibility of having

potential meeting time any school day?

I realize that with con-tinued cuts to educational budgets, we won’t be getting 180 six and a half hour school days, but I firmly believe that LWSD can come up with a balanced compromise.

Our school system is not in place to provide “day care” so that parents can work, but we need to

partner in caring for and educating our children while paying our bills and mortgages.

The LWSD community, board, administration and faculty have many hurdles to deal with, but I feel that this is one that has a simple answer and can truly help out many working parents.Cynthia HudsonKirkland

funds on behalf of two companies based in his state, Wisconsin. Guess he doesn’t want anyone to know about that.

And, like many other speakers who had preceded him at the podium, Ryan took a swipe at President Obama for pointing out that all businesses benefit from public investments in roads, bridges, schools, universi-ties, the Internet, and other services.

The president was correct to say that nobody makes it on their own in America. All successful entrepreneurs make use of the infrastruc-ture that the taxpayers of this country have paid for. America is where it is today because previous genera-tions patriotically pooled

their resources to get things done. This progressive tradi-tion dates all the way back to the founding of our nation. Unfortunately, it’s a tradition that Republicans want to upend. They claim we’ll all be better off if we dismantle our public services and sell off our public infrastructure. They’re wrong.

When disastrous � oods hit � ailand last fall, Eva Cherry and her Silicon

Mechanics crew had to wrack their brains in order to complete their rackmount-servers orders.

What happened a world away a� ected the Bothell company since the servers need hard drives, and � ailand is the place where nearly 45 percent of the world’s devices are produced, according to an NPR report.

“� e hard-drive manufacturing capacity was reduced by almost 30 percent,” said Cherry, 46, a Kirk-land resident and Silicon Mechan-ics president and chief executive o� cer. “We just got creative about how to ful� ll our orders.”

With fewer hard drives avail-able and prices for existing ones skyrocketing, Cherry ordered some devices at reasonable prices from Amazon’s Germany location and some from the United King-dom. She had some hard drives delivered to her mother in her na-tive Germany, and they were soon shipped to Bothell.

“It’s about building � exibility into your business, into the cul-ture to feel, ‘Well, whatever comes

our way, we’ll somehow � nd a way to deal with that and make it through,’” said Cherry of her company, which manufactures rackmount servers along with storage and high-performance computing clusters.

� e Puget Sound Business Journal recently named Silicon Mechanics one of the Eastside’s 50 fastest-growing private compa-nies. It made $30 million in 2011 and has been pro� table for the last 27 months, said Cherry, adding that the company hopes to hit $35 million in revenues this year.

Most of its business is generated in the U.S. and it has 80 to 90 per-cent repeat customers, from small businesses to larger � rms.

“� e atmosphere right now is extremely busy, which is great,” said Steve Wiechert, chief operat-ing o� cer and chief � nancial o� cer. “I think key to our suc-cess, especially in this di� cult economy, is our ability to work more e� ciently than the other guy. We’ve put a lot of things in place that have ensured processes are followed; we’re doing better at documentation, we’re getting the

right people on board.”

ON THE RISECherry, originally from

Zwickau in the former East Germany, received her master’s in business administration from Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa, and has more than 20 years of executive manage-ment experience in technology and manufacturing, including 10 years as a management consultant in Deloitte’s Strategy & Opera-tions and Enterprise Applications practices.

She joined Silicon Mechanics in 2008 and stepped into her current role a year later. � e company has been located in Bothell since 2006 and presently has 50 employees, with more on the way, Cherry said.

Her journey from Germany to South Africa and beyond began a� er the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. She was in Berlin at the time, and soon a family friend from South Africa suggested she head to that country to Wits University.

“� e world’s open all of a sudden,” Cherry said of the wall falling and her ensuing travels.

Cherry has found success along the way, but the struggling econ-omy a� ected Silicon Mechanics a few years ago.

In order to weather the eco-nomic storm, Cherry, Wiechert and their sta� pulled together, were up front with their custom-ers about the � rm’s � nancial situation and kept them on board, informing them that things would soon improve. � at’s exactly what happened, and now pro� ts are up, Silicon Mechanics and its valued customers are tighter than ever and Cherry’s employees are thriv-ing under her leadership.

“Internally, I started ‘� reside chats’ and we talked about our � nancial performance, what the market was looking like and what our plans were,” said Cherry, who is married, has a German Shep-herd and enjoys skiing, biking and gol� ng.

“It’s neat to see how people have grown over the years, through the tough times,” she added.

Carillon Point’s Starbucks, bou-tiques and lakeside cafes will wel-come a children’s mental health

facility to the mix on Sept. 10.Co-founder Kjell Oswald said

Kirkland’s high population of adolescents and its location east of Seattle makes it a great place for the � rst Cadence Family � erapy to reside.

“Medical services need a good environment for healing,” Oswald said. “(Carillon Point) is a beauti-ful place, an upli� ing place.”

Oswald co-founded the practice with Steven Daly and Jim Bosler.

Cadence Family � erapy has

already begun to schedule consul-tations with eager families, which can be competitive when it comes to getting help or a spot on the wait list.

Oswald said it is sometimes up to a year before a child can get the proper therapy for a mental health issue such as autism, which is most prevalent in Washington.

And with the National Institute of Mental Health estimating 20 to 25 percent of adolescents have emotional or mental disorders,

nationwide, Cadence Family � erapy may be a boon to many families in need.

� e facility will serve children ages 2 to 21 and o� ers many dif-ferent techniques for treatment, with each plan central to the individual.

Children who experience a range of issues - depression, anxiety, ADHD or anorexia - can expect various “evidence-based” methods to help them through. Some of these techniques include:

applied behavior analysis, cogni-tive behavioral therapy, dialecti-cal behavior therapy and family therapy.

“Cadence’s mental health experts partner with families to identify strengths, assess areas of concern, and develop innova-tive treatment solutions,” said Cadence Family � erapy advisor Mark Fadool in a news release.

However, transforming the railway that occupies the corridor will cost more.

On Aug. 7 the council unanimously voted to al-locate $203,000 of Surface Water Reserves to add to the combined total of $3.2 million from direct state appropriations and a Fed-eral Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant. � e money will be used for rail removal and an interim trail scheduled to com-mence early 2013 and � nish late 2014.

� e estimated cost of the project is $3.6 million.

An additional $450,000, with a $50,000 local match, is being sought through other grants. � e funding of those grants will be decided during the 2013 legislature. Godfrey said the $100,000 di� erence between the cost and the total funding if the grants are successful will act as a bu� er in case it ends up costing more.

� e council approved funding from the Surface Water Reserves because, according to Aug. 7 city documents, the trail will improve access to surface water facilities in need of repair. Money in the re-serves comes from ratepay-ers that pay into the surface water utility.

� e trail will consist of crushed gravel, similar to the East Lake Sammamish Trail, with fences and chain links to protect “sensitive” areas.

A Master Plan for future

transportation throughout the corridor is in the works. Godfrey says the plan is currently unfunded but is analyzing how the corridor will handle a paved trail.

“In order to keep drain-age improvements to a minimum the trail needs to be about the width (8-10 feet) of the existing rail bed,” Godfrey said, “and that’s narrow for a paved trail where bike speeds can be higher.”

Potential funding for the paved trails is likely to come from the King County and Kirkland park levies. But

funds from these levies would only pave portions of the corridor because city documents say paving the path could cost up to three times the amount of a gravel trail.

While Kirkland resident Bob Style agrees there should be a corridor for pedestrian use, he says vot-ers do not want funding to come from park levies.

“� at fund can be paid for without new taxes,” said Style. “� at’s what the poll indicated. � e council needs to not kick the can down the road. � ey need

to prioritize.”� e Master Plan will

expand o� of the 2009 East-side Rail Corridor Interest Statement in which they adopted it in April 2011.

� e Eastside Rail cor-ridor was formerly known as the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway but the name soon changed a� er the Port of Seattle obtained the railway in 2009.

During prior transporta-tion commission meetings, some Kirkland residents were opposed to rail re-moval. Many said they were concerned that if the rails are uprooted, businesses would not be able to use the current or future railway. � ey said upgrading rails would be easier if existing

rails were already in place. � ere was a fear that if they were taken out, they would never be reconstructed. Some were also worried the rails would not be able to be used as a “redundant line” for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway mainline.

� e commission coun-tered the concerns with a list of reasons why removal was necessary. Future use of the railway is unlikely, the commission said, because the Port of Seattle has made no e� ort in its three years of ownership to operate it. If it did operate, it would oper-ate at very low speeds. And a redundant line is obsolete because the Wilburton tunnel was removed from

I-405 and made into a trail. � e commission also said more people would use the corridor if it were replaced by a trail.

For those who want to be involved, Kirkland residents can “adopt” a section of the corridor to keep it clean with the city’s “Adopt-a-Trail” program. An event to kick o� the program will be on Saturday Sept. 8 from 10 a.m. to noon at the intersec-tion of NE 87th Street and 112th Avenue N.E.

“� is unique approach values the family’s voice, which allows for substantial improvements in the short-est amount of time.”

Fadool is the clinical di-rector of mental health ser-vices of the Odessa Brown Clinic at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Oswald said they will treat each case by using a team approach. Cur-rently, the center has 10 psychologists and master-level therapists and is led by clinical director Ronnie Cunningham. Oswald said there is a possibility of expansion in the future and hopes to train many interns throughout time.

� e mental health center has informal ties to the Seattle Children’s Hospital, University of Washing-ton and local doctors and schools on the Eastside. Jim Mazza is a professor and director of the School Psychology Program at the UW and Elizabeth Dexter-Mazza is a dialectical be-havior therapy consultant.

Because of the need for children’s mental health help, Oswald said many families are forced to resort to extreme cases. Some families need to use out of state facilities or quit their job for treatment. But Oswald said Cadence will be a “one stop shop where people can come for any mental health issue.”

“Suicide is the number two killer of teens, it’s a huge national issue,” Os-wald said. “But why should a family have to send their

child away? � e tools (for treatment) are lost in a dif-ferent environment.”

� e outpatient therapy is a way to help families and children maintain their regular lives while still get-ting the help they need.

Families should check with their insurance pro-viders to see what can be covered under their plan but visits will typically cost about $160 per hour.

REAL ESTATE & FINANCEYour guide to Real Estate and home buying & selling

KIRKLAND

As one of the largest independent mortgage companies in the Northwest, Directors Mortgage understands that buying a home can be one of life’s largest purchases. Using our experience and dedication, we provide excellent service to our clients guiding them through the home buying process.

When you decide to purchase a home, getting pre-approved for a home loan is the best way to begin. Getting started is as simple as speaking with your Sr. Mortgage Specialist and completing an application. Pre-approval gives you the advantage of knowing your buying power and identifying any qualifying areas that might need attention. You will also learn the loan amount that you can be approved for. You and your Sr. Mortgage Specialist can

Knowing Your Home Buying Powerthen sit down and decide on a comfort level for monthly payments within your price range. This knowledge will help you shop with confidence during your home search.

Being pre-approved will save you time and energy by eliminating extra time that may be spent looking at homes that do not fit your budget. Alternatively, you may discover that you qualify to purchase more home than you anticipated. Another benefit is enhanced negotiating power, because completing pre-approval shows that you are prepared to buy. Understanding the boundaries of your approval allows you to negotiate with confidence to reach the outcome you desire.

Being pre-approved is different than being pre-qualified. A pre-qualification is an educated, informal estimate of a borrowers purchasing power based

on income and asset information as provided by the borrower. An underwritten pre-approval means that a potential borrower’s information has been seen by a qualified underwriter and verified. The borrower’s purchasing power is formally identified, which provides proof to real estate agents that you mean business. Being pre-approved shows that you are prepared to purchase, and this is what gives you leverage during home purchase negotiations.

Move into the buying process with knowledge and confidence by contacting your local Sr. Mortgage Specialist. Directors Mortgage knows local, and is ready to work with you to complete the pre-approval process. Call our Kirkland Office at 425.629.3002 to get started today.

School is back in session. If you have school-age children, you’re probably busy getting them acclimated to another year of hitting the books. But the school years go by quickly, so it won’t be long before your kids are ready to head off to college. Will you be financially prepared to help them?

It’s certainly a challenge, especially given rising costs of higher education. Consider these figures from the College Board: For the 2011-2012 school year, the average cost (including tuition, fees, room and board) was $17,131 per year for an in-state student attending a public, four-year college or university. For a student attending a private four-year school, the comparable average cost was $38,589 annually. And these numbers are likely to increase in the years ahead.

So, what can you do to help meet the high costs of higher education? For starters, you need to save and invest — early and often. And you’ll also want to choose investments that are particularly well suited for college. Here are a few suggestions:

529 plan — When you invest in a 529 plan, all withdrawals

invest Early - and Wisely - for Collegewill be free from federal income taxes, as long as the money is used for a qualified college expense for your child, or even your grandchild. (However, non-qualified withdrawals may be subject to federal, state and penalty taxes.) Contribution limits are quite high so, in all likelihood, you’ll be able to put as much as you want into a 529 plan; although you generally can’t exceed the annual gift tax exclusion, which is $13,000 per beneficiary in 2012. Furthermore, if you participate in your own state’s 529 plan, your contributions may be tax deductible on your state taxes.

Coverdell Education Savings Account — Depending on your income level, you can contribute up to $2,000 annually to a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) in 2012. Your Coverdell earnings and withdrawals will be tax-free, provided you use the money for qualified education expenses. (Any non-education withdrawals from a Coverdell ESA may be subject to a 10 percent penalty.) Unlike a 529 Plan, in addition to college expenses, Coverdell funds can be used for kindergarten through 12th grade expenses and

you can place Coverdell ESA contributions into virtually any investment you choose - stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, etc.

Zero coupon bonds — A zero coupon bond is priced at a discount to its principal or face value. You receive the principal value when the bond matures. So, you could purchase a zero coupon bond that matures in the year your child is ready to go to college. Although you won’t receive regular interest payments throughout the life of the zero coupon bond, you’ll still be liable for the taxes on this interest. So, before purchasing a zero coupon bond, consult with your tax advisor.

These investments have proven popular among many parents and grandparents. However, you’ll need to consult with your financial advisor to determine which college-savings vehicles are appropriate for your needs. But don’t wait too long — because, before you know it, today’s grade-schoolers will be packing for their college dorms.

how to set up a physical IRA.

As an investor, you can sometimes still feel you’re at the mercy of forces beyond your control. This may be especially true today, when the Federal Reserve has warned of an approaching “fiscal cliff.” What can you do in the face of such a dire prediction?

First of all, you need to understand what led to the Fed’s remarks. Here’s the story: Some $1.2 trillion in spending cuts are scheduled to begin in 2013 while,

Should You Prepare for “Fiscal Cliff”?simultaneously, the Bush-era tax cuts — including the reduction in capital gains and dividend taxes — are set to expire. This combination of spending cuts and higher taxes could take some $600 billion out of the economy, leading to a possible recession — and maybe something much worse, at least in the eyes of the Fed.

Still, there’s no need for panic. Despite its political infighting, Congress is likely to

reduce the “cliff ” to a smaller bump, though it probably won’t happen until after the election. But as an investor, you may need to be prepared for two significant events: market volatility, at least in the short term, and higher taxes, probably for the foreseeable future.

To combat market volatility, you need to own a broadly diversified portfolio that can handle “bumps,” “cliffs” and other rugged

investment terrain. This means you’ll need a mix of stocks, bonds and other securities that are suitable for your needs. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can reduce the impact of market volatility, it cannot guarantee profits or protect against losses.) You may also need to “rebalance” your portfolio to ensure that it’s still aligned with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, despite the impact of volatility.

Now, let’s turn to taxes. Even if taxes on income, capital gains and dividends do rise, they will still, in all likelihood, be much lower than they’ve been at various points in the past. Nonetheless, you may want to consider a variety of steps, including the following:

Take advantage of tax-deferred vehicles. Contribute as much as possible to your traditional IRA, your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, and any education savings accounts you may have, such as a 529 plan.

Consider converting

your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. A Roth IRA provides tax-free earnings, provided you don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re 59½ and you’ve had your account for at least five years. (Be aware, though, that this conversion is taxable and may not be appropriate if you don’t have money readily available to pay the taxes.)

Consider municipal bonds. If you’re in one of the upper tax brackets, you may benefit from investing in “munis,” which pay interest that’s free of federal taxes, and possibly state and local taxes as well.

Not all these choices will be suitable for your situation, of course. Before taking action on these items, you may want to consult with your tax and financial advisors. But give these options some thought because they may prove helpful in keeping your financial goals from going “over a cliff.”

As many of you know, this is a very stressful time of year. To help you and your family work together

to get through this stress and move forward to establishing a new routine, please keep the following thoughts in mind.

Children often reflect the feelings of adults around them. If you are worried

By AleksA OverBy, DirectOr, kiDDie AcADemy, BOthell

establishing your Family routineabout your child starting a new school, your child will pick up on this stress and their anxiety can increase drastically. They may think, “Wow, if Mom and Dad are this freaked out about this new school, it must be something really scary!” Of course, many of us will be a little nervous and there’s nothing wrong with driving behind the bus all the way to school to see your child get off the bus safely for the first time but we need to help children learn to be excited about changes and to view them as new opportunities, not as frightening unknowns.

Give yourselves a lot of extra time! No matter how well you plan out your morning, SOMETHING will come up that will alter that ever-so-thought-out plan. If you find that after a few days you really don’t need that extra time in the morning,

great! And, going back to the first point, the last thing that you and your child need to be feeling on top of the excitement of the transition is the feeling of being rushed.

Establishing routines take time. Everyone needs to be patient and not be discouraged when witnessing some less-than-desirable behaviors come out. Some of the common behaviors you will witness during these transitions include being clingy, increased emotional outbursts or crying, excessive tiredness or lack of tiredness, vocalizing that they don’t want to go to school (we would all love to be on summer vacation all year round!), or changing eating or toileting habits. Just remember, that it is our job to use our self-soothing techniques to model for our children that changes can be fun and exciting as long as everyone works together and remembers to breath.

It’s that time of year when children return to school and this means that drivers will once again have to slow down in school zones at least twice per day. Pedestrian injury is the second leading cause of injury-related death in the United States for children ages 5 to 15, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 33,000 children are treated in emergency rooms for pedestrian-related injuries annually. This is one of the reasons for the 15 mph speed limit around schools.

To help make school zones safer for children you can do the following:

• Slow down to 15 mph or less in school zones and school crosswalks when children are present and this applies to high school lunch hours where children can leave school grounds.

• Be on the lookout for children darting between cars.

• Stop completely at stop signs.

• Refrain from using your cellphone or any other distraction while around school zones.

• Consider practicing with your child at the school drop-off area to become familiar with it.

• If you have to drop off a child at school, give yourself adequate time so that you do not have to speed to get to work on time.

• Remember to look both ways for children when using roundabouts. Drivers often only look left and do not see pedestrians from their right.

• An extremely safe way for children to get to school is on the bus. If bus riding is an option, have your children take advantage of it.

Several children are hit in or near school zones every year and everyone would agree that one per year is too many. Do

Keep children safe in school zonesyour part to keep our children safe this year.

When head coach Steve Supple took over the

Lake Washington football program in 2010, he had a vision of where he wanted the Kangs to be.

Entering his third year, the skills and work ethic are there – but the numbers, not quite yet.

“If you watch us practice and see the things we are doing in practice, you can see we are a football team,” said Supple, whose team started out 2-0 last year before dropping their last eight games of the season. “Guys are well coached, we know, and they know what they’re doing. What we don’t have yet, what hasn’t been established, is the depth you need to compete in this league.”

The Kangs cleared 90 kids for spring ball and about 80 turned out this fall, certainly an improve-ment over recent years, but not nearly ideal for a school of LW’s size.

Supple said that while most teams’ backup players are juniors, with the oc-casional sophomore in the mix, most of his “twos and threes” will be sophomores and freshmen.

While the numbers game is difficult to overcome, the Kangs still possess a good deal of talent.

Shawn Gray, the team’s starting quarterback, is back and healthy after being derailed by a season-ending knee injury against Bellevue only four weeks into last

year’s campaign.“He’s had a really good

offseason, works real hard and spent a long time throwing in the summer, went to team camp,” said Supple on Gray, a 6-foot, 175-pounder. “He’s been doing a good job.”

Max White, an athletic tight end/defensive end and Gavin Santjer-Goetz, a vo-cal leader who plays a solid halfback and defensive end, will also be go-to guys for the Kangs.

Undoubtedly, the key piece to the Kangs’ puzzle will be Gray, as he was

effective during the team’s two early victories last year against Garfield, 14-0, and Redmond, 39-17, before getting injured.

“My knee feels good, and I’m excited to see what we have this year,” Gray said. “It’s a small group, but we have some good talent. We gotta play fast.”

Lake Washington did drop to the 2A classifica-tion for this season, due to enrollment numbers, which greatly improves the team’s chances to play in the postseason.

“We’re a 2A team and

Sammamish is a 2A team, so one of us is going to be in the 2A playoffs,” said Supple, adding that which-ever team has the better league record will advance. “That’s what our goal is, to be playing for something in November.”

Supple, who formerly coached as a defensive co-ordinator at Redmond and Eastlake High, maintained that his team’s key to suc-cess will be to go out and compete daily, regardless of the opponent.

Should the Kangs be for-tunate enough to earn the

2A playoff spot, their load-ed schedule, with games against top-tier teams in the 3A Kingco league, will have them prepared.

“It doesn’t matter if we’re playing Bellevue, Liberty or Mount Si, it’s an oppor-tunity to compete,” he said. “We know the league is difficult – they’re all good programs. People are doing good things, so it’s a matter of focusing on… when you have opportunities to compete and win, you have to take advantage of that. (Kingco) is a difficult place to play.”

Shorthanded Kangs stepping it upDepth remains a challenge as the team builds on last year’s 2-8 mark

Third-year head coach Steve Supple (above) keeps a watchful

eye on his players as they stretch before practice. Supple’s

shorthanded squad dropped down to the 2A level this season due to low enrollment numbers.

The Kangs football team is all smiles as they take a light jog

around the field before a recent practice.

For Juanita High head football coach Shaun Tarantola, the last couple years have been a tale of two seasons.

In 2010, the Rebels took full advantage of a talented group of transfers, made the state tournament for the first time since 1994, and finished with a 9-2 record.

Last season, the squad struggled to a 4-6 record, with three of those losses by one possession.

This year, the Rebels pos-sess an incredible amount of speed and athleticism, as well as contributions from all four classes, which Tarantola is ex-cited about.

“We’re look-ing really good, (with) a lot of guys coming back,” he noted. “We’re really excited to have a lot of returning players in our senior class, but we have a lot of newcomers that are making an impact on Varsity. A lot of sophomores and even a couple freshmen are mak-ing an impact, and we’re excited about the combina-tion of the two.”

SPeeD KiLLSWhat the 2012 Rebels

may lack in size, they more than make up for in pure speed.

Leading the way in that regard is senior Kendrick Murphy, who was named “Punt Returner of the Year” in 3A Kingco and a first team all-league defensive honor.

Trayon McNairy is another first team all-league selection at linebacker, and returners Harley French (TE, LB) and Ty Griffith (WR, DB) look to be im-pact players on both sides of the ball.

“We feel really great about our skill positions,” Tarantola said. “Our run-ning backs, receivers, quar-terbacks, DBs, linebackers can fly around and make plays.”

Added starting quarter-back Riley Hilliker, “Our skill guys are all real fast. I

know if I can put it up in the air, I can trust that my receivers are going to grab

it. This year, we’re looking solid.”

In addition, Juanita was fortunate to pick up a talented transfer from Edmonds-Wood-way, Thomas Toki, a lineman who was listed as 5-foot-10 and 265 pounds as a

freshman last year.“We feel this team is go-

ing to cause some matchup problems for most teams we play, because of our speed and athleticism,” Tarantola said. “That’s the name of the game for us this year.”

inTO THe FiReLooking at the early

part of the Rebels’ foot-ball schedule, the team is definitely looking to play up in preparation for another postseason run.

After defeating 4A Ing-lemoor 23-7 last Friday, the Rebels go on to play Mon-roe out of the 4A Wesco North league tonight, all before taking on 3A pow-ers Liberty and four-time defending state champion Bellevue in back-to-back weeks to start conference play.

“Playoffs start early at Juanita, I guess,” laughed Tarantola when asked about

his team’s torturous sched-ule. “We like that challenge, and keeping ourselves focused. That’s going to help down the stretch this season.”

The fifth-year coach noted that his big emphasis during the offseason has been to develop trust and team chemistry, “to a whole new level than we’ve ever experienced,” and to sim-plify the team’s playbook in an effort to eliminate mental mistakes.

Tarantola, who has an infectious, good-natured personality that rubs off on

his players, believes that the Rebels are capable of beating anyone, provided they stay healthy and play well, and Hilliker said that the team’s preparation in the weight room and on the field will give them the edge.

“The way we know we’ll finish strong this year is our conditioning,” said the 6-1, 180-pound senior. “We’ll beat teams in the fourth quarter because we’re the most conditioned out here… and we know we can outrun any team in the Kingco conference.”

Rebels look to run away with Kingco title The Juanita squad hopes to bounce back from a 4-6 campaign last year

Tarantola took over the program in 2008 and led the Rebels to their first state tournament berth since 1994 two seasons ago.

Allen Francis LongAllen Francis Long passed away

gently at home in Kirkland on August 21, 2012, after gracefully enduring multiple health challenges. Born in Minneapolis, MN on January 22, 1922. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were present to share his last days.

He grew up in Beaulieu, MN and graduated from Mahnomen High School. He attended St. Olaf College

and North Dakota State. Enthralled with flight from an early age, Allen plucked turkeys to earn money for flying lessons. At the earliest opportunity he enlisted in the Army Air Corps. Initially rejected for being underweight, he passed on his second attempt after eating seven pounds of bananas. A P-38 fighter pilot, he flew 50 missions over Europe during WWII earning five air medals and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

After seeing a photo of a fellow pilot’s pretty sister, he finagled a meeting with Catherine (Betty) Nicholson. They were married in Chico, California and together raised three children. Following the war, Allen completed his education at the University of Washington, earning a degree in pharmacy. After Betty’s death, Allen found love again and married Catherine (Kay) Skinner, becoming a father to her children. Allen ran Long’s Federal Drug for many years on Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill before relocating to Kirkland.

After retiring, Allen and Kay and their dog Shadow hit the road in their RV traveling widely throughout the United States. After Kay’s death, Allen found companionship with Jackie Carskadden who shared his love of dancing. They were known to practice in the kitchen because it had the best floor in the house. Allen was active in his church and a devoted member of the Queen Anne Masonic Lodge.

Predeceased by his parents Frank and Iva Long. He is survived by his sister, Margaret Johnson of Oak Harbor; brother David Long of Mountlake Terrace; children Janet (David) Sieberns of Tacoma and San Jose, CA, Richard Long of Elma, Jan (Brian) Berg of Tacoma, Judy Francis of Littlerock, Michael Tryon (Karen Honz) of Chelan, Jim Tryon (Karin Patterson) of Seattle and Bellingham, Steve (Gretchen) Tryon of Seattle, and Carol Grosely of Marysville. He is also survived by 14 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He was dearly loved, and will be missed by all.

A memorial service celebrating Allen’s life will take place at Rose Hill Presbyterian in Kirkland on Sept. 8 at 1:00pm. Memorials to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

the traffic engineers asked for information on parking requirements.

Shields expects the ap-plication will be turned in by the end of the week. Jon Regala told the Reporter that Michael Chen, with Group Mackenzie, is the architect representing the 24 Hour Fitness.

NEW RESIDENTIAL UNITS PLANNED

New shops are expected to fill the 10,000 square foot base of 108 one-bedroom and one-bedroom loft apartments at the Slater 116 complex.

“We are hoping to find a bank or credit union, some quick-serve food tenants, a coffee operator and service-type retailers to cater to the residents, as well as employ-ees, of the surrounding office and retail tenants,” said Pat Lindsey, associate vice president of Kidder Mathews, the listing agent for the space.

The for-rent homes will be located at the corner of N.E. 116th Street and 124th Avenue N.E.

Pre-leasing will begin three months before they are finished by the end of next year.

Features include: built

with “green” certification, “lightning fast” fiber optic Internet, charging stations for electric vehicles, Metro Orca passes for every new resident, a 2,000-square-foot off-leash dog park, 8,200-square-foot outdoor courtyard, basement park-ing garage, Wi-Fi lounge, exercise facility and onsite storage with bike lockers.

Marc Boettcher, opera-tions and project manager of MainStreet Property Group LLC, said the loca-tion was picked because the site has great access to public transportation and accessibility, which makes it a good location for professionals, students and families.

“Totem Lake is home to 80 percent of Kirkland’s employment opportunities and is also central to the

region’s top employment centers and employers,” Boettcher said. “(It) has a tremendous amount of shopping, dining, amenities and services within close proximity to Slater 116.”

According to Shields, other small developments planned in Kirkland include: Totem Station, a new public safety building, a new Toyota of Kirkland showroom, a Fred Meyer gas station, 100 lots of new homes in Kingsgate, a 100,000-square-foot expan-sion of Fairfax Hospital, an 8,000-square-foot office building in downtown Kirkland and 235 apart-ment units near the south Kirkland park and ride.Contact Kirkland Reporter reporter Raechel Dawson at [email protected]

Between Aug. 24-30 the Kirkland Police Department reported 642 traffic violations (11 DUIs), 42 alarm calls, 30 noise complaints, 11 calls for malicious mischief, 13 calls of distur-bance, 13 thefts, eight car prowls, 30 acts of traffic abandonment, four animal calls, 14 calls of civil distur-bance, six reported burglaries, nine domestic violence calls, six calls for harassment, seven juvenile calls, five calls for illegal drugs, seven acts of fraud and four alleged assaults. At least 41 people were arrested.

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.
