LWSD Kimball to step down, take job in SingaporeBY SAMANTHA PAK

Reporter Newspapers

Dr. Chip Kimball will step down as superintendent for

the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) at the end of this school year.

It was announced Sept. 14 that the 2011-12 school year will be Kimball’s final year with the district as he will become the superintendent of the Singapore American School (SAS) in Singapore, beginning July 1, 2012.

“It was possibly one of the most difficult decisions I had to make,” Kimball told the Reporter Sept. 15.

He said leaving the district was not even on his radar when SAS first approached him early this summer. Kimball, who is in his 16th year with LWSD, initially told the school no, but they were not deterred.

“They hunted me down, pretty persistently,” he said. “They asked me again.”

Kimball discussed the offer with his wife and friends who have worked in international settings. He said he has al-ways spoken about globaliza-tion, international relations and preparing students to compete internationally, so he decided, serving as a su-perintendent overseas would be a great opportunity to experience this firsthand.

So he decided to begin initial discussions with SAS.

“It’s kind of like dating,”

Kimball said.He explained that in dat-

ing, people have the oppor-tunity to see how they feel about each other and see if they want to get engaged and eventually, if they want to get married. In the end, Kimball decided to tie the knot with SAS.

Board president Jackie Pendergrass said Kimball will be greatly missed in a state-ment released Sept. 14.

“As a board, we are dismayed to learn that Dr. Kimball will be leaving us while at the same time we are happy for him and his family

in their new endeav-ors. His leadership has been instrumental in the strong direction of our district. The good news is that he will leave the district in a very good position.”

As for a new su-perintendent, LWSD

communications director Kathryn Reith said, “the board has yet to determine how they will go about hiring a replacement.”

THE SAME, BUT DIFFERENT

SAS is a private K-12 school with four campuses, serving about 4,000 students. Kimball said the school’s demographic is roughly 70 percent American students and 30 percent local and international students.

He said SAS is truly an American school in Asia, both in population and cur-riculum.

New Allied Health Building opens for studentsLake Washington Insititue of Technology cuts ribbon on $35 million facilityBY CARRIE WOOD

[email protected]

Hundreds of students, staff, elected state and local officials, and even several former Lake Washington Institute of Technology presidents gathered in the lobby of the school’s new state-of-the-art Allied Health Building for a grand-opening ceremony on Sept. 14.

The new 83,000-square-foot, three-story build-ing features classrooms, laboratories, offices, clinical facilities and a lecture hall that will be a major boon to allied health studies.

“We are gathered in one

of the state’s most techno-logically advanced, cutting-edge polytechnic education buildings here at Lake Washington,” said Dr. David Woodall, LWIT interim president.

He noted that the new classrooms and laboratories simulate actual hospital settings and will provide the backdrop for training that will help meet the regional demand for nursing and allied health employees.

“We’ve incorporated the latest in technology in this building, cameras that broadcast images to the classroom, allowing faculty and students to observe, review and learn in ways

they haven’t been able to do before,” said Woodall.

He also recognized and thanked three former LWIT

presidents who attended the event: Dr. Donald Fowler (1980-1999), Dr. L. Michael

Metke (1999-2007) and Dr. Sharon McGavick (2007-2011).

Th e $35 million facil-ity, which broke ground in October of 2009, was funded through a partner-ship between LWIT and the Washington Network for Innovative Careers. WaNic is a consortium of seven school districts off ering high school students the opportunity to take college-level courses.

Programs are open to students in the seven member districts: Bellevue, Issaquah, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, Northshore, Riverview and Snoqualmie Valley. As a component of the partnership, WaNIC’s new

skills center, focused on allied health, is co-located in the new building.

“Th is day has been a long time coming,” said Larry Francois, superintendent of the Northshore School Dis-trict. “I couldn’t be happier to see our students fi nally be able to access their WaNIC programs in this wonderful new facility.”

LWIT off ers allied health programs in nursing, medical assisting, dental assisting, dental hygiene, massage, physical therapist assist-ing, occupational therapy assisting and funeral service education.

For students like Autumn Larson, the new facility means more opportunities.

“It’s amazing,” said Larson, who’s been in the Medi-cal Assisting Program for a year. “Our old classrooms had exam tables and the classroom in the same room. And there’s cameras in all the exam rooms so they (teachers and students) can watch us do exams.”

She said the new facil-ity will also simulate a true working environment.

“When we did our phlebotomy class, everyone would gather around to watch you poke your arm and stuff and now they have a whole lab just for phlebotomy and diagnostics. So it’s just amazing,” said Larson, of Kirkland.

Marti Garrels, Medical As-

sisting Program coordinator, was excited to speak about the possibilities the new facil-ity will off er the community.

She said there’s a possibility the medical assisting clinic could become an actual clinic open to the community. Th e school has off ered informal screening clinics in the past, “but to actually connect with the community physicians and physicians assistants and really off er a full service where a patient could actually come in yearly for a physi-cal – we’d be a really good screening-type clinic,” said Garrels.

She pointed to the clinic’s four exam rooms, including a pediatric room equipped with infant-sized dummies and exam tables.

“If you look, we have all the latest in all of our diagnostic equipment and our exam rooms are fully equipped. So a full exam could take place in these rooms,” said Garrels.

She added the new medical assisting clinic “lends itself wonderfully to allow the stu-dents to do the whole patient processing from checking them in, to rooming them, to assisting, to following up with the tests and even education, like if they need more infor-mation about what’s wrong, medical assistants are train ed to help the patient under-stand what is going on.”

In the old facility, Garrels said there were four exam

tables separated by curtains. In addition to the exam rooms, the new facility also includes a reception area.

“Th ere was no reception area, so it could never have been turned into a true clinic like it can now,” she said. “And the lab was just non-existent – it was just a shelf.”

She pointed to the new lab area, with cabinets full of analyzers, testing instruments and microscopes.

And then there’s emergen-cy preparedness. “If we had a major disaster, our whole building could become a satellite to help hospitals with their overfl ow needs,” said Garrels, laughing. “I mean, I’m dreaming here, but the possibility is a huge deal.”

Elsewhere in the new building, Lisa Rosewall assisted with community tours of the funeral service

education classrooms and labs during the event.

A fi rst-year student in the funeral program, Rosewall said when the building opens up to students this week, it will also be her fi rst time out of the classroom and doing hands-on work.

“It’s pretty serendipitous because now I’m going to be jumping in right when every-thing’s opening up, hence the excitement,” said Rosewall.

What excites her most about the new building?

“Th e embalming room – hands down,” she said. “Th ere’s three diff erent tables, so three diff erent groups can be working at the same time and each of the tables are set up to the ideal standards, like the ventilation is perfect, the drainage is perfect – every-thing is what you would be looking for in a job later.”

Community gathers at 132nd Square Park

Community members gathered at 132nd Square Park to help build a new community gathering place at the park on Sept. 16. Over four days, volunteers helped design a community banner (above) to hang during special occasions, as well as a large picnic shelter, picnic tables, pathways and a circular stonewall (left), which will be the focal point of the gathering space. Tully’s Coff ee funded the project, which was organized by the Pomegranate Center. For more information about the project, see page 4. PHOTOS BY CARRIE WOOD, Kirkland Reporter

Shame on county council for passing car-tab fee

Th e recent action by the King County Council to assess a $20 fee on car tab renewals is not the “right call” you asserted in a recent editorial. Th e right call would have been to put the measure on the ballot in November. Instead, the council passed it in a closed-door session without any public input. Washington voters have declared in no uncertain terms they oppose using car tabs as a way to impose taxes. Th e council knows this. By passing this measure they have shown utter disregard for the will of the people. Shame on them. And shame on us if we forget when the

current council members come up for re-election. By the way, the $20 fee represents a 33 percent increase in the cost of my next year’s car tabs! Giving me some bus tickets in return doesn’t help me at all. Let Metro sell them and give me back my $20.Jim Lewis, Kirkland

Is job growth and protecting the environment mutually exclusive?

President Obama recently made a very quiet decision to negate signifi cant EPA fi ndings and pulled back on implementing stronger smog standards for various indus-tries, siting that the new regulations

would harm the economy and job growth. Th ese regulations would have curtailed ozone emissions which are known to create smog and cause asthma, heart disease and premature death.

And this is just the beginning, because other limits on mercury and air toxins, greenhouse gases from power plants and other harm-ful emissions are also currently under debate. I would like to point out that supporting scientifi c fi ndings from our Environmental Protection Agency, especially with the goal of saving lives, is not only the responsible moral choice for our president, it would actually help the economy! Implementing the new regulations creates jobs; the standards have to be enforced by governmental agencies and new

equipment needs to be manufac-tured and installed.

It would also save our country possibly billions in health care costs as we take a proactive and pre-ventative stand against the known causes of chronic disease. Th e bottom line is that the only ones who would be impacted negatively by implementing these standards are the industries themselves, the presumable “job growers” who would have to reach into their very deep pockets in order to comply with the new regulations. C’mon Obama, stop capitulating to these old arguments and let’s get back to your original agenda of hope, which maintained that we can live in a clean environment and have the economy humming again.Dr. Jenny Glavin, Kirkland

Many years ago, a farmer donated land for what would become 132nd Square Park.

Jan White, who has lived in the Kingsgate neighborhood for nearly 40 years, says the neighbor-hood decided what ameni-ties they wanted at the park.

White wanted a walking track where kids could cycle and pedestrians could stroll.

Now, every morning, White walks the path at the park with two other women

who join her on a five-mile circuit. Other amenities at the park include athletic

fields, a new playground, restrooms and a reflexology walking path where park goers can take their shoes off and walk over diff erent-sized stones.

It was the fi rst time neighbors came together to determine what they wanted in their neighbor-hood park – but certainly not the last.

King County took out a rotted wooden play structure from the park in 2006. And instead of waiting for the county to build a new structure, the community spoke up and pushed for the structure they chose.

Last spring, Lynda Haneman, a member of the Evergreen Hill Neighborhood Association (formerly Totem Lake), and others canvassed the neighborhood for residents’ thoughts on a new amenity. Th e result was a set of new swings that were installed.

But White, and other neighbors, including Les-ley Schlesinger, have watched as mothers nearly jostle each other to try and get a picnic table for their child’s birthday party.

So when neighbors found out that Tully’s Coff ee/Green Mountain Roasters and the Pomegranate Center had put out a request for grant proposals for a neighborhood gathering place, they threw their hat in the ring. Kirkland’s 132nd Square Park was one of four sites chosen throughout the region to become a new gather-ing place.

Th e Issaquah-based Pomegranate Center gath-ered community input on the new place’s design.

“It really was designed by the community and voted on by the community,” said Haneman on Sept. 16, as dozens of volunteers worked to build a new picnic shelter, story circle, performance area and a community banner.

It was amazing to watch the volunteers work so hard – for four days – and fi nally complete the project on Sunday.

Haneman says six years ago, 132nd Square Park “was just a park.” Now, she said it’s become more of the center of the community.

King County Vice Chair Jane Hague, who was at the park Sunday, said “Our parks are our com-munity gathering places.”

I agree. We have opined on the importance of parks in our Kirkland community before. It’s defi nitely a subject that deserves more than one mention.

In this case, it was good to see how the dili-gence of one neighborhood has paid off again and again. Community participation was the most important component of this project from concept, design and review to the actual build of

the project.Kudos to the Kingsgate community for their

involvement in this community park. If you would like to get involved in your local

parks, the best place to begin is with your neigh-borhood association. I encourage you to attend some meetings, get to know your neighborhood leaders and sound off on what amenities are important to you at your local park.

A money-skimming crime group that federal investigators say took in more than $1 million was centered in Kirkland, according to filings in the case.

The extent of the swindle was laid out by a federal Electronic Crimes Task Force Monday in Seattle.

Two defendants, Ismail Sali and Eugen Tirca were charged with the illegal possession of device-making equipment, or skimming equipment, in federal court.

According to the charges, much of the ille-gal activity was conducted from Sali’s residence in the 13700 block of 90th Place Northeast, Kirk-land. Sali and Tirca are

believed to be part of a crime group involving at least a half-dozen people, investigators added.

“The suspects arrested over the last few weeks account for more than $1 million in losses to banks and consumers,” said United States Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. “We be-lieve that with this most recent arrest, we have lo-cated and dismantled the nerve center of one of the most prolific rings, which used illegal immigrants from Romania to commit the frauds.”

The recent investiga-tions began with work by Kirkland Det. Donald Carroll, court documents related, who began dis-covering incidents involv-ing Sali in 2010.

The crimes commonly

use devices known as “skimmers” which are fit-ted to the fronts of ATM machines. The skimmers then record information from customer bank and credit cards. Besides the skimmers, tiny “pinhole” cameras are installed to capture customer PIN numbers. Used together, the information allows thieves to empty bank

accounts.As the investiga-

tions proceeded, numerous pieces of evidence were discovered, includ-

ing vehicles, records of phony transactions

and skimming equipment.The vehicles involved

were found to include a Jeep Cherokee, a black Mercedes SUV and a white Chevy van, all iden-tified as being “associated with the known residence

of Sali,” the charges add.As the work contin-

ued, investigators found ongoing instances of fraud, ranging from Lower Queen Anne Hill in Seattle to Bellevue and Kirkland on the Eastside.

In March, for example, detectives found phony charges made at an Alb-ertson’s store in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood and also at a U.S. Bank branch in Juanita. In a June incident at the U.S. Bank Highlands branch in Bellevue, the detectives noted, the suspects made their skimming easier by using a handicapped-parking pass on the van’s rearview mirror to use one of two handicapped spaces at the front of the bank.

By June 20, detectives had the Kirkland 90th Place address under

surveillance and watched Tirca and Sali drive away. They went to a U.S. Bank ATM in Kenmore, where six unauthor-ized cash withdrawals were made, along with 13 attempts, all using

information that had been skimmed at the U.S. Bank Highlands branch two days earlier, the court filings continue.

Besides the cash withdrawals, the thieves also used the phony information to make fake gift cards, which then were used to buy items like groceries at Safeway stores, and even tried to pay for dump fees at a King County solid-waste transfer station in March with a VISA account that had been closed because of fraudulent activity.

In a footnote to the skimming investigations, Durkan herself has dis-closed she was a skim-ming victim, with about $1,000 drained from her bank account over the summer.

The U.S. Attorney’s office has asked that both Sali and Tirca be held without bail, arguing there is a strong risk they would attempt to flee to Romania. If convicted, they could face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

“It’s something I frankly be-lieve in,” Kimball said about the American school system.

Like LWSD, he said SAS focuses on college prepara-tion and providing students with what he calls global-readiness skills.

Although he will be on the other side of the globe, Kimball said aside from a few diff erences such as the side of the road people drive on, there are many similarities between the Asian country and American culture. He visited Singapore and SAS for two days in mid-August and added that Singaporean citizens call their country “Asia Lite” because it is very westernized.

Th is being said, Kimball said he plans to step out of his comfort zone during his time in Singapore.

“(My wife Cheryl and I) are really looking forward to embracing the culture there — truly experiencing a diff erent culture and diff erent kind of life,” he said.

Kimball said another reason he accepted the job with SAS was because he and his wife will no longer have children living at home and do not have any grandchil-dren yet.

Kimball’s youngest daughter will graduate from Redmond High School at the end of this school year and plans to attend Whitworth University in Spokane. Th ey have family there, so she will have that support system nearby, he said.

While his youngest is excited for him and can’t wait to visit once he and his wife move, Kimball said his oldest daughter was initially a bit disappointed because she just graduated from college and accepted a job as a pediatric nurse at Children’s Hospital in Seattle. He said she was expecting her parents to be nearby, but like his youngest, she will also have a support network of other family and friends.

BITTERSWEET GOODBYE

Kimball began his tenure with LWSD as assistant superintendent and chief information offi cer in 1996. In 2004, he supervised the Eastlake region of the district and two years later, became deputy superintendent. Kimball became the district’s superintendent on July 1, 2007, replacing Dr. Don Saul, who retired.

Kimball said when he was hired, Ron Barnes, the superintendent at the time, wanted LWSD to be the most information-rich district in the country and wanted Kimball to invent it.

Set with this task, Kim-ball, who began his career in education as a high school science teacher in Madera, Calif., met with the district librarians.

Albert Einstein Elemen-tary School librarian Anne Sandbo still remembers that fi rst meeting. She said Kimball told them in 10 years, they would be bring-ing information to students online rather than through books. Sandbo, who has been with LWSD for 17 years, said many people took exception to this because they believed nothing could replace books.

A decade and a half later with all the advances in tech-nology, Sandbo said she told Kimball she sees what he was talking about during that fi rst meeting and the importance of staying on the “bleeding edge” of technology (because cutting edge was not enough for Kimball).

“He’s learned from us and we’ve learned from him,” she said. “It’s been really validat-ing to work with him...We do know that he values what we do.”

Sandbo said she felt sad for the students when she learned about Kimball leav-

ing. She said Kimball has always put the students fi rst.

“It is going to be hard to follow him,” she said.

Despite being sad about Kimball’s departure, Sandbo is happy for him and his new endeavor.

Th is sentiment is echoed throughout the district.

LWSD Deputy Superin-tendent Traci Pierce is in her 17th year with the dis-trict and has worked closely with Kimball for about eight years.

“It’s been just absolutely great,” she said. “He’s a great leader. He’s always got great ideas.”

Pierce said Kimball made people feel empowered and trusted. She said he has steered LWSD in a great direction and she wants the new superintendent to maintain this and build upon it.

Rosa Parks Elementary School principal Tina Liv-ingston said her advice for the future superintendent is to make sure to visit the dis-trict’s diff erent communities to learn about everyone’s needs.

“We’re a very diverse school district,” she said. “So

I advise the individual to meet with lots of groups of people during the transi-tion.”

Livingston said Kim-ball did this when he was promoted to superintendent even though he’d already been with the district for several years.

A TOUGH JOBAlthough Kimball has

received much praise for superintendency, he said it has not been without chal-lenges.

Since he was hired as superintendent, Kimball has had to deal with continuous budget cuts at the state level and has worked with district staff to protect the class-room and students. He said he plans to continue this until the end of his tenure.

Another challenge has been challenging the status quo and keeping his schools internationally competitive and college ready. Kimball said the district is always looking at how they can improve things for students.

Hudson withdraws from LWSD raceBY SAMANTHA PAK

Reporter Newspapers

Cynthia Hudson has withdrawn from the Lake Washington School District school board race for District 1, which covers Finn Hill and Juanita.

Hudson rescinded her name aft er King County’s deadline to withdraw, so her name will still appear in the voter’s pamphlet and on the ballot.

“Over the summer, and aft er the opportunity to withdraw from being listed on the ballot, I had changes that impacted my ability to dedicate enough time to the position,” she told the Re-porter in an email. Hudson said she is not concerned about her name still being on the ballot because the

incumbent and her former opponent, Jackie Pender-grass, is popular among constituents.

Pendergrass, who is in her 16th year on the school board and the current

president, was happy to see she no longer had an opponent and is working to get the information out to voters. “Since most will get their informa-tion in the voters pamphlet, I feel I need to get my message out to as many voters as

I can aff ord to mail to,” she said. “Cynthia will defi nitely receive some of the votes because many voters will see her as a true candidate.”

Pendergrass said she feels the King County rules are a disservice to voters by not allowing candidates to withdraw from the race soon aft er fi ling.

Considering the topic, the treatment is pretty clever.

Th e subject is streets.And while everyone uses

them, and they’re kind of the carotid artery of urban existence, making them into something most people would devote 7 minutes and 35 seconds of their lives to is something of a challenge.

Th at’s exactly what’s pos-sible, however, for a new re-lease by—sound of trumpets here —the City of Kirkland.

Th e release is titled, “Th e

Lifecycle of a Street.”And while that’s probably

not as big a draw as maybe Sunday Night Football, it’s also kind of an intriguing eff ort by people who are supposed to be making a community function to communicate with their customers — the people who use city streets.

To do that, the fi lm starts in what might be an unex-pected place: Ancient Egypt.

Th at’s where the earliest roads were built, about 4,600 years ago, the fi lm explains.

By the time a viewer has seen the entire presentation,

they’ve learned about things like alligator cracks in pave-ment, and how it costs about 50 cents a square yard to fi x a street crack if it’s caught early and about $65 a square yard if maintenance is delayed.

Th e fi lm was released Sept. 15 and is a production of Kirkland TV, which has the slogan of, “Tune in-Log on.”

Th e script was written by Christian Knight, city com-munications intern who’s getting a master’s degree at the University of Washing-ton, with fi lm work by Mike Connor, city cameraman.

Knight says he was trying

to fi gure out a way to start the fi lm and came up with the Egyptian introduction.

“I wanted some histori-cally signifi cant moments,” he said.

Of course, as is common in writing anything, aft er the video was fi nished, Knight says he found something better, a description of 16th-Century road building in England, which allowed a proliferation of commercial activity and a “mass expan-sion of economic life.”

Th at’s about what roads still do today, of course, with frantic eff orts always under-way to keep things moving.

Th e street video is just one of the latest produc-tions on Kirkland TV, with another presentation, by the Kirkland Youth Council about distracted driving,

sure to you make you cringe, since it’s kind of a horror-fi lm description of such things as the dangers of texting while driving, resulting in weaving over the yellow centerline and multiple deaths.

If those videos don’t whet your cinematic tastes, you could maybe go back to such previous releases as an Urban Land Institute presentation of July 21 or an update from the city manager on July 15.

Plus, of course, there are

recordings of City Council meetings and other public gatherings, hundreds of them, in fact, all available through Hollywood-at-City Hall.

Th e presentations can be seen on the city’s Web site at www.kirklandwa.gov, or on Comcast Channel 21 and Frontier Communications Channel 31.

Don James Golf event raises $100,000 for Kirkland Boys & Girls Club

Th e Kirkland Boys & Girls Club hosted their 18th Annual Don James Golf Classic at the Golf Club at Newcastle. More than 220 guests gathered to tee it up for kids and help raise over $100,000 for Boys & Girls Clubs programs.

Cobalt Mortgage, based in Kirkland, has been presenting sponsor of this event for nine years now. Cobalt is recognized as the largest privately-owned mortgage company in the state of Washington with over 17 branches through-out the western U.S. to serve homeowners’ needs.

Th e noon shotgun start was complete with fun and entertaining contests, raffl es and hole-in-one giveaways, provided by 18 hole sponsors. Aft er play-ing the rounds, the golfers came in for a cocktail hour and silent auction, followed by dinner and the live auction.

During the auction, the guests had the opportu-nity to hear guest speaker, former national champion-ship coach of the Washing-ton Huskies Don James, MC KJR-950’s Dave “Soft y” Mahler, husky legend and UW hall of famer Joe Steele and auctioneer Jim Jungers. Cobalt President Keith Tibbles presented the Kirkland Boys & Girls Club with an additional check for $15,000. Th is do-nation was secretly raised internally by Cobalt loan offi cers for the last month.

Executive Director Doug Wozeniak stated, “In my 20 years of Boys & Girls Club work I have never seen anything like it. Th e entire company gets involved. Cobalt designated us their charity of choice in 2003

and helped us raise over $750,000 in less than a decade. I am not quite sure they even realize how many lives they are chang-ing!”

Cobalt President Keith Tibbles said: “We have seen our industry go up and down over the last decade but we have been blessed with huge growth as a

company over that same lifespan. As the Kirkland Club grows to serve more and more families we wish to grow our support also.”

Th e event was a suc-cess thanks to presenting sponsor Cobalt Mortgage, and media sponsors ROOT Sports, and KJR 950 Sports Radio, as well as donors, DJGC Committee Mem-bers and volunteers.

Huddled together near the endzone following their game against Mercer Island, Juanita head coach Shaun Tarantola stressed the im-portance of not losing sight of the big picture.

“It’s not how you start, but how you fi nish,” he said to the team, which had just lost 47-24.

Penalty fl ags fl ew on the fi eld throughout the game, sparking Mercer Island head coach Brett Ogata to say it is something the team plans to work on in practice this week, as did Tarantola of his team.

“Penalties hurt us throughout the game, we had two touch-downs called back because of penalties early in the game,” said the coach. “We just weren’t able to get in a rhythm. Penalties played a major role in us letting it get out of hand. It would have been nice if we could have not gotten penalized on those big plays – we had two 90-yard plays get called back, which is tough to withstand. I give our players credit for continuing to compete. We had a lot go wrong, we’ve got some young kids and some

kids who are new to football playing. I was really proud of how they kept getting aft er it – they didn’t give up. Th ey kept playing when it didn’t go their way.”

Th e Rebels had an advan-tage during the fi rst half of the game at Mercer Island High School Sept. 16. Th e team strung together a solid drive, earning the fi rst points of the night with 6:06 left in the fi rst quarter for a 6-0 lead.

Later in the fi rst, Mer-cer Island quarterback Jeff

Lindquist lodged the ball deep, fi nding

Eric Stefanchik in the endzone for a 51-yard touchdown pass, followed by a

kick from Alex Wood to give the Islanders a 7-6

edge aft er 12 minutes.In the second quarter,

Mercer Island held off the Juanita defensive line to allow Connor Bernal a run with 8:24 left in the quarter for a 14-6 ball game.

Aft er repossessing the ball, Rebels continued to drive, connecting for a touchdown pass late in the quarter to change the score to 14-12. On the kickoff return, Mercer Island fumbled the ball and the Rebels regained possession at the 26 yard line. A quick drive to the

goal line gave the Rebels another touchdown, just a minute aft er the one before, and giving the visiting team the lead 18-14.

To even things outs, kicker Alex Wood came out to make a fi eld goal with four seconds on the clock, putting the score at 18-17 for Juanita.

“We were spreading the ball around I think,” said Tarantola. “We were able to mix it up and run it to multi-ple guys and throw it to mul-tiple guys. It was our game plan and it worked well. We got some bad breaks, we had some great opportunities early in the game to take ad-vantage of some things, but we just weren’t able to make it happen. Overall we were able to spread the ball, but we gave Mercer Island credit, they came out second half – we had some opportunities early in the second half but we just didn’t capitalize on it and they made the most of their opportunities.”

Aft er the break, Juanita began on their own 20 yard line, but Mercer Island intercepted the ball with 10:23 on the clock and took over at the 25. Th e Islanders drive was stymied by Juanita, who regained possession on the 40 and quickly burned through four downs to give the Islanders another chance.

Th is time Wood returned to the fi eld, making a 29-yard fi eld goal and giving the lead back to Mercer Island with a 20-18 score.

In the second half Mercer Island found its rhythm and slowed Juanita enough to fi nd the endzone repeatedly.

Senior Phil Frazier ran for a touchdown at the end of the third quarter to make it 27-18, and Stefanchik caught another long pass from Lindquist, this time 55 yards, to score for a 34-18 game.

Th e Islanders scored again in the beginning of the fourth quarter, aft er Frazier ran the ball in, fol-lowed by an interception with 10:16 on the clock to set up another touchdown. Th is time Frazier ran it in, scoring the fi nal points of

the night for Mercer Island.Juanita made moves to

the endzone and scored with just under fi ve minutes left to play for the 47-24 score.

“I think just the biggest thing for us, our play-ers are hurting, it’s been a long time since we lost two games in a row, we’re hurting right now,” said the Rebels leader. “Our kids are hungry and had a great week of practice last week, but for us this week our main focus is sticking together and really learn-ing to play for each other instead of for themselves individually.”

Th e Islanders will travel to Interlake next Friday, and the Rebels will host Sammamish. Both games begin at 7 p.m.

Juanita volleyball’s head coach Teena Bambolo will no longer be coaching the Rebels this season aft er she was dismissed from her position on Monday.

According to Juanita High School Athletic Director Steve Juzeler, the Rebels interim head coach will be Emily Price, who was an assistant for the varsity team under Bambolo.

Juzeler said it happened prior to the team’s game against Mount Si on Monday evening, and that he could not comment on personnel matters.

Bambolo said she was

called in for a meeting Mon-day with Juzeler and school administrators who said her contract with the school had ended and asked her to hand in her keys. She said there was no chance to talk the decision over, and was told it was a fi nal decision.

According to reports, a top player had recently quit the team, but neither the coach, nor the school, were willing to comment more about the termination or what led to it.

Bambolo had been with the Rebels for 10 seasons. Th e team just missed the state tournament last season, aft er fi nishing No. 2 in the KingCo tournament. Th ey are 2-3 this season.

Special to the Reporter

On Saturday, 339 swim-mers took to Lake Wash-ington from the shores of Marina Park in Kirkland. But the wetsuit-clad bathers weren’t trying to take ad-vantage of the last few mild days of summer — they were jumping into the fi rst leg of the Kirkland Triathlon.

“Eager,” “Excited,” and “Cold” were a few common feelings as the start time ap-proached.

Windy, overcast weather caused the event to start 15 minutes later than planned due to wandering buoys; however, the glitch didn’t stir up the positive mood.

“I don’t see any goose-bumps. I don’t see anybody shaking too hard. It looks like the water is nice!” said Terry Bridges, MC for the event, while the fi rst heats of swimmers waited thigh-deep in the water.

Kenmore resident Marty Holk, 13, was among the competitors. Th e Kirkland Triathlon was his seventh triathlon this year.

“Th ey’re something fun to do on the weekends,” he said. “I’m a little nervous, but you just do your best.”

Athletes in the race ranged from age 12-73 and came

from all over the Northwest, including California, Ohio, and Arizona.

Kyle Brockman, age 24, came all the way from Sunnyville, Calif. to race with Courtney Clarke, 24, of Bellevue. He said the produc-tion value of the Kirkland Triathlon is outstanding.

“It’s a small race with huge community support,” he said. He also noted that he planned to head straight to one of Kirkland’s many coff ee stands for a chocolate donut as soon as he fi nished the race. “Th at’s what I’ll be thinking about during the last mile of the run!”

Kirkland has hosted the summer triathlon — one of Seattle’s most popular — for 11 years, and this year was the fi rst time that it was held at Marina Park. Before, the event took place at Hough-ton Park.

AA Sports produces the triathlon, and picked Kirk-land aft er multiple Seattle native athletes requested a triathlon in the Seattle area. Kirkland’s location is prime for such an event, with clean, accessible waterfront parks for the swim route, hilly roads for a challenging bike route, and numerous parks for the running route.

“It’s not an easy course,” said Jon Atherton, co-owner

of AA Sports, who was at the event with his wife and race director, Carol. He believes the course was hillier this year than in the past.

Th e Athertons work with the Kirkland Police Depart-ment to plot a race path that avoids heavy traffi c and problem areas. Th e ½ mile swim began and ended at Marina Park, where athletes jogged up Market Street to Heritage Park and transi-tioned into the 12-mile bike leg. Th e bike course looped around Kirkland, ending again at Heritage, where the 3-mile run started. Com-petitors gave a fi nal burst to the fi nish back down at Marina Park, and were congratulated with metals and smiling supporters.

Jacob Koopmans, of

Everett, fi nished with the fastest time in the open category (ages 39 and un-der) in 1:10:38. Amy Turi, of Issaquah, was the fastest female in the open category with a time of 1:18:22, and Kirkland native Shelby Wiegand fi nished soon aft er with a time of 1:20:38.

In the masters category (ages 40 and above) Tony Gerbino of Shoreline ranked number one, clock-ing in at 1:10:51, and was closely followed by Kirk-land’s Ryker Lammers with 1:11:00.

Th e fastest female masters competitor was Bellevue’s Stacia McInnes with a 1:15:56 race, also closely followed by a Kirkland na-tive — Patty Bredice, who fi nished in 1:17:10.

Finishing off the summer with a few days of sunshine

and the opportunity to spend a couple of those sunny days driving 25 exciting new cars along sce-nic Northwest roads defi-nitely makes the transition into the fall season easier for this car girl.

The recent sixth an-nual Run to the Sun event sponsored by the North-west Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) brought 25 automotive journalists and manufac-turer’s new vehicles to the event, which was staged

out of the Tulalip Resort. The journalists experi-enced every car over the two-day drive, which was

over 425 miles. Each drive was

between 10-26 miles, so the jour-nalists got a feel for the vehicle instead of an extensive test drive. Most manufacturers sent along representa-tives who rode “shotgun” in their

vehicles during the event and explained what is new and different for this model year.

Beginning and ending each day with a convert-ible made my enjoyment of the sun even greater. On the first day when I

got into the 2012 Volk-swagen EOS Lux – the only hardtop convertible with a built-in sun roof, the manufacturer’s rep-resentative insisted that I begin the day with the top down even though a chilling fog was rolling into the valley. I turned on the heated seats and enjoyed the cool drive.

We drove over Stevens Pass on the initial day us-ing mostly winding back roads to get to Highway 2. Heading back over the pass, we followed a different route with more curves and exciting driv-ing.

My final drive on the first day was in the 2012 Mercedes-Benz S LK350 cloaked in diamond white

metallic and an interior of Bengal red leather.

Day two began with the 2012 Fiat 500 Convert-ible. With an olive green exterior and ivory inte-rior, the Fiat was really fun to drive and a great buy in the mid $20’s. The second day’s journey took us up to La Conner and Chuckanut Drive into Bellingham and back to the foothills of the Cas-cade Mountain Range. I ended the event in the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible with inferno orange inside and out.

Total value of the ve-hicles driven in those two days represents almost a million and a quarter dollar value. We drove

Do you remember the goats? In April, 2008, a herd of 60 rumi-

nants trotted into Cotton Hill Park for Earth Day. Th e fi rst-hired goats in Kirkland, they cleared a quarter acre of six-foot tall blackberries in three days, to the delight of a steady stream of onlookers.

Since then, the Highlands neighborhood has worked closely with the Green Kirkland and UW Restoration Ecology programs to restore the park to health. Invasive English ivy and Himalayan blackberry were smothering the native plants. Volunteers have removed old tires, beer bottles, and invasive plants from more than half of the 4-acre park and replanted with native species.

Th ey also built a 500-foot long raised gravel trail, al-lowing students, walkers, and joggers year-round access to the park, with its connections to adjacent schools, parks and trails.

If you’re wondering where Cotton Hill Park is located, you are not alone. Until recently, it was a mostly inac-cessible patch of forest with-out an offi cial name, tucked along the east side of the railroad tracks just north of Peter Kirk Elementary. Th e park was offi cially named last year, and a sign installed at the south entrance.

Healthy forests clean our air, fi lter our water, reduce fl ooding, sequester carbon, and provide wildlife habitat. Th ey also provide opportuni-ties for people to enjoy na-ture. When you enter Cotton Hill Park you are instantly transported out of suburbia and into the wild. Imagine a cool, green forest with the sound of trickling water from a year-round stream. If you’re lucky you might see a Pacifi c

tree frog, a Pileated wood-pecker, or even a Wood duck.

If you follow the trail north and turn left , you will come to the railroad tracks, a corridor of quiet green. Cross the tracks and you are in Crestwoods Park. Climb a short set of stairs and soon

the forest opens up into wide, green baseball and soccer fi elds. Th is 27-acre park also has a basketball court, restrooms, parking area, playground, swingset, picnic tables and paved

trails. But it too has a wild side.

More than half of Crest-woods Park is forest criss-crossed by a network of trails. In your wanderings you might come upon volunteer Stu Clarke, who has helped build and maintain the trails in both parks.

Cotton Hill and Crest-woods Parks are all about connections: trails that con-nect to surrounding parks and the railroad corridor, connecting the Highlands and Norkirk neighborhoods to each other, and connecting Kirkland residents to nature and meaningful restoration work.

How can you help? Cotton Hill Park needs

your help to clear, mulch, plant and weed. Starting Nov. 1, work parties will be held every Wednesday from 10-11 a.m. In addition, there are occassional work parties on Saturdays. First-timers are al-ways surprised at how much fun these events are. Go to SupportGreenKirkland.org for up-to-date work party information.

It’s oh-so-tempting to let your dog off -leash in these little pieces of wilderness, but don’t succumb. Besides the damage that dog paws can do to vulnerable plants, and the fact that it’s illegal and you could be fi ned, it’s not fair to other park users who may be scared of dogs. Remember your poop bags - dog feces contaminate water and are no fun for park workers.

Many dollars and volun-teer hours have been spent installing native plants. Remember that plants grow by the inch and die by the foot, and please stay on the trails.

If you’d like a tour of the park, or to be added to the work party email list, please email me at karen@tinyis-

land.com.

Lynette was our spunky and beautiful princess. She

was Netty to her family and Lynny to her many friends. Lynette brightened every room and could make anyone laugh. She was always the center of attention (which was just how she liked it). She spoke her mind and you never doubted where she was coming from. She was con-stantly taking care of others, people and animals alike.
