Alleged gang member’s visit to Kirkland City Hall raises concerns

BY TJ MARTINELL

[email protected]

Safety concerns have been raised at the city of Kirkland after a suspected gang member and recent-ly convicted felon arrived at City Hall on a work/ed-ucation release program from King County Jail.

Dorond Alfred Bray of Los Angeles, 39, who recently pled guilty to promoting prostitution after an incident involv-ing a Kirkland firefighter, showed up to Kirkland City Hall in late July ask-ing for his belongings and requesting to speak with a member of the police department, according

to emails obtained by the Reporter through a public information request.

Bray’s visit to City Hall raised concerns by staff as well as firefighters, prompting an emergency meeting of the fire de-partment safety commit-tee on Aug. 27 to discuss possible solutions.

During the Febru-ary incident involving the Kirkland firefighter, who is now on paid administrative leave, Bray allegedly threatened to kill both the firefighter as well as a Child Protective Services worker assigned to one of Bray’s prosti-tutes. Both the firefighter and the CPS worker were notified by the city of the incident.

Political battle for Senate seat heats up with Supreme Court decisionBY SAMANTHA PAK

[email protected]

On Sept. 11, the Washington State Supreme Court

issued a court order, holding the state Legis-

lature in contempt for failing to make enough progress in addressing the state’s constitutional requirement to fully fund public education.

According to court documents, the state is

not “meeting its ‘para-mount duty…to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its bor-ders.’”

In response to the or-der, Sen. Andy Hill of the

45th Legislative District, which includes Redmond and Kirkland, released a statement saying he is “glad the court has again confirmed its commit-ment to making educa-tion funding a priority for

this state.”“As our primary con-

stitutional duty, funding education must come first when it comes to the bud-get,” he said in his state-ment. “One of the main reasons I first ran for

office as a PTA dad was to end Olympia’s decades of neglect in prioritizing our schools.”

Google developer SRM to install crosswalks and lights near new facilityBY TJ MARTINELL

[email protected]

By the end of 2015, Everest kids will be able to walk a safer route to Lakeview Elemen-tary near the new Google campus thanks to new agreement between the city of Kirkland and SRM

Developers. As part of the $1 mil-

lion agreement approved at the Kirkland City Council’s Sept. 16 meet-ing, SRM Developers will construct two new traffic signals, as well as build a crosswalk for children walking to and from school across 6th Street

South from 9th Avenue South, rather than North-east 68th Street.

SRM Developers is currently constructing the Google Complex at 6th Street South, a new 180,000-square-foot, two-story building.

As part of the construc-tion, they are required to

conform to requirements under the State Environ-mental Policy Act (SEPA).

Several of the traffic signals and crosswalk, however, were not a part of the SEPA require-ments, according to Dave Tomson, the develop-ment manager at SRM Development, but based

on requests by Everest neighborhood residents who asked for a pathway for school children.

“We said to our neigh-bors that we’re going to be good neighbors,” Tomson said.

One of the new traffic signals will be located at the intersection of 9th

Avenue South and 6th Street South. It, too, was not required by SEPA, but intended to help miti-gate traffic for Everest residents, Tomson said, as the traffic study revealed Google employees would impact traffic at a differ-ent time when most Ever-

tors in April for burglary, domestic violence, promot-ing prostitution, felony harassment and unlawful possession of a � rearm. Bail was denied. He eventually accepted a plea agreement with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to promoting prostitu-tion in the second degree, a class C felony. He was given an 11-month sentence.

Bray was allowed to leave jail on a work leave program, in which inmates are given

a pass to search for a job or schooling, according to the emails. As part of the ar-rangement, they have to take the bus and cannot ride with friends.

Yet, when Bray arrived at City Hall on July 31, he came in a personal car and with a friend, according to a city employee email. Video footage from both the city and the police department showed Bray arriving in his vehicle.

A city employee who worked at the front desk said Bray asked for his belongings, which appar-ently the police had in their possession. � e employee explained the police depart-ment had moved to the new

Justice Center in the Totem Lake neighborhood. Bray then asked the employee to sign their name on a piece of paper he had with him.

Bray eventually went to the police department, asking for his belongings. He also asked to speak with a member of the command sta� , accord-ing to the emails.

King County Jail was contacted by the city, and Bray’s work release supervi-sor temporarily revoked his pass.

Everest neighborhood’s wishes to have a signal installed there,” he said. “It’s really hard to get onto 6th Street South from 9th.”

� e tra� c signal to be located at 6th Street South at Kirkland Way was required per SEPA, according to Tomson.

Tomson said they do not have an exact date yet for when construction will begin, though he expects it to be started and completed within 2015. Prior to this, the

city will complete the instal-lation of water, sewer, and partial stormwater facilities on 7th Avenue South, ac-cording to the agreement.

Meanwhile, SRM has also proposed $2.8 million public improvements along the Cross Kirkland Corridor. � e city is reviewing the construction plans. Work is scheduled to begin in No-vember, with an anticipated completion in June 2015.

member of the Early Learn-ing and K-12 Education committee.

Hill’s statement continued, saying, the court states that the state “’has known for decades that its funding of public education is constitu-tionally inadequate.’ � e ruling adds, ‘� is proceeding is therefore the cul-mination of a long series of events, not merely the result of a single violation.’”

Since he was elected, Hill said in his statement that he has “taken steps to end this period of neglect, writing and passing a budget that invested $1 billion more in education, added $4 to education for every $1 of non-education spending increases, and froze college tuition rates.”

“While these are simply

� rst steps, they represent the � rst steps taken in 30 years to reverse this trend,” he said.

Hill is up for re-election this November and his opponent Matt Isenhower also had a response to the court order.

Isenhower, (D-Redmond), said, “In both the 2013 and 2014 sessions — knowing the court was expecting results

— Hill refused to adopt reforms that would have increased school funding, and in fact placed additional tax loopholes and other lobbyist-driven giveaways in his budget.”

“� e court today under-scored what parents, students and teachers already know: that our schools are under-funded and we need to take action to � x the problem,” said Isenhower. “Instead of

focusing on what’s right for our kids, Andy Hill gave even more away to wealthy special interests.”

In his statement, Isenhower also said, “� e only way to change the equation and actually fund our schools will be to elect leaders commit-ted to putting educa-tion � rst. Andy Hill was given a chance to step up and do the right thing, and he failed.”

� e King County Republi-can Party called Isenhower’s comments a political stunt as he claimed the court’s ruling was against incumbent Hill’s 2013 budget.

“It’s clear to anyone who knows the issue and even bothered to read the ruling that the court is demanding a new plan for education from the entire Legislature, not ruling against Senator

Hill’s budget,” said party chair Lori Sotelo. “Isenhower’s misstatements concerning the ruling makes it clear he

is a bit uneducated about what goes on in Olympia.”

She also asked, “If Matt Isenhower wants to single out members of the Legislature to blame for the court’s ruling, is he going to condemn Rep.

Larry Springer and Rep. Roger Goodman, Andy Hill’s Democratic seat mates? Both voted for his budget. Is he going to condemn Jay Inslee, Patty Murray,

Maria Cantwell and 17 of his endorsers who have served

during the decades of neglect for education?”

Decision on education funding

On Sept. 10, the Wash-ington State Board of Education (SBE) voted to adopt a resolution sug-gesting guiding princi-ples for the Legislature in its duties to ensure that ample provision is made for all students residing within its borders, in a general and uniform sys-tem of public schools.

The resolution came as the SBE’s view of its statutory responsibil-ity to provide strategic oversight of the public education system.

In the past two years, the state Legislature has begun to take steps to fully fund basic educa-tion as a result of the McCleary state Supreme Court decision, which ruled the state was not meeting its obligation to fully fund K-12 public education as required by

the state constitution.There are six guide-

lines as part of the SBE resolution:

• Considerations of delaying the timeline for compliance with McCleary orders should be weighed against the consequences a delay will have on incoming kindergarten students.

• There can be no cred-ible plan to make ample

provision for public schools that does not include new revenue to the state budget.

• Proposals to in-crease funding for public

schools by decreasing funding in other state programs should be viewed not merely through the lens

of court compli-ance, but also in view

of the ultimate impact on students and their families.

• A comprehensive school-funding solution should include a substan-tial increase in the state funding share accompa-nied by some additional clarity on the intended limits of local levy authority or spending. What is needed is not different dollars; what is needed is more dollars.

• A comprehensive statewide accountability program continues to be an essential element to any significant McCleary

investment in public schools.

• The SBE affirms that Washington’s public school system has the potential to be the best in the world and could serve as a case study of best practice public education for other states and nations. The board urges the Legislature to embrace this challenge and to process all school funding decisions with the success of each stu-dent in mind.

Eastside congestion is a nightmare

Being a recent graduate from a local university has been a great accomplishment. I have made many memories in the 45th District such as going to the Juanita Beach Farmers Market, the di� erent festivals in Kirkland and the Woodinville Parade.

A memory that I am not very fond of is the amounts of time I sat in my car behind the wheel. To this very day, there are times where a 15-minute commute turns into a 45-plus minute commute where I am driving less than 30 mph. � e level of congestion for Eastside drivers needs to be resolved. � e 520 bridge is paid for by drivers and the construction that is currently taking place is for a HOV land and bike path. It will not help with reducing congestion.

I know there are a lot of families living on the Eastside and I cannot imagine how they handle spending so much time in tra� c. Our district is a wonderful place to live and where I hope to raise a family some day. I am thrilled that Brendan Wood-ward believes in a multi-modal transportation and sees the importance of reducing tra� c for Eastside drivers like me.Arlan Paloalto, Kirkland

Many issues with ARC planIf the ARC (Aquatics Recreation Center) is going

to be accessed by bike, the tra� c consultant should have known 124th does not have any bike lanes in

either direction. Sidewalk edge-to-road makes it unsafe for pedestrians. Do not overlook hazards from vehicles and inattentive drivers. What is the plan for any school bus drop o� locations?

� e footprint will not support the North Kirk-land Community Center. � e square footage and height of this structure exceeds anything in the area other than EvergreenHealth.

Who are your partners? Where is the money your private pool association o� ers? What school districts and schools are going to use 50-meter pool for daily practice? As a regional center, it must accept reduced occupancy due to usage from resi-dents of Bothell, Woodinville and Redmond. If you are going to compete with the hospitality industry for wedding and business functions, perhaps we need acceptance from Kirkland restaurants and hotels who base space and sta� on this service for their business cost recoveries. We do not need this hospitality space for non-levy participants who do not regularly face the congestion that will never have a permanent � x.

Neighbors to the north side of Juanita Beach Park need to remember their green belt is expect-ing change and they have wild free space at two other parks within two-to-� ve blocks. � is site would probably be more acceptable if your func-tions, and thus space, reduced.

If the school bond failed and they cannot pay for pool replacement, then have them donate land at the northwest corner of Juanita High School and then Kirkland, Woodinville and Bothell Parks can co-op on the pool. Also, increase the pool to

75-meters with a center-line dock and include an elevated temperature aerobic senior/children pool for training and increased user count.

Build a small community hall and two-third basketball court at the Juanita Beach Park or Albertson’s site. Also, add an indoor two-third basketball court to the NKCC. We do not need a roof deck. Lower the elevation, as we do not need an indoor walking track for seniors have time to utilize the outdoors. It will cost less in land and energy through a smaller building cube.

I assume you would charge for exercise machine rooms and you would not be competitive with the private sector. Please skip the water-feature play areas. � ere is no guarantee this is pro� table and a safe space during the life of the 15 year construc-tion levy, let alone self sustaining since the private sector shows no interest in the business plan.

If you insist on this visionary legacy, look to building the site in Woodinville or the Redmond valley and proceed no further without major partners. � is overall project at one site is not a full community bene� t at the sites currently selected.

Remember you already accept that Kirkland has very high property density and needs good rela-tions with the business community.John Putt, Kirkland

A few weeks ago I read an article in the New York Times about a boy who had been struggling and was being men-

tored. His mentor guided him and provided him the resources he needed to succeed in school. I found the article very interesting. It got me thinking about teens and adolescents in the Kirkland and Eastside area who were struggling. Teen Link, an organization that was created to provide a safe environment for teens defines at-risk youth as “children and young adults who are prone to becoming involved in crime, domestic abuse, drugs and alcohol, early pregnancy, school-re-lated problems and suicide.”

I have always assumed that in a well-heeled town like Kirkland there couldn’t be many teens on the wrong track. But after talk-ing with Kristie Neklason, the Director of Substance Abuse Services at Youth Eastside Services (YES), I learned that teens can be struggling no matter where they live.

Neklason told me about some of the rea-sons that teens may be making bad choices. Adolescents may find themselves facing emotional issues because of their parents’ divorce, a move, a death, a change of schools or anything else that causes pain or distress. These problems often lead to difficult emo-tions. When a teenager doesn’t know how to handle their emotions, they often act out.

“One thing leads to the next,” explains Neklason. “The longer people ignore their feelings and distract themselves from the

problem, the more the situation escalates.”Neklason certainly makes a good point.

Hearing what she said made me think of the phrase, “a stitch in time saves nine.”

I mentioned this connection to Neklason, and she came up with another great analogy. She explained that when you have the tools and resources you need to mend a wound, you will recover quickly, but when you lack the resources, the wound will only get worse. This analogy helped me understand that internal wounds can cause a lot of damage, and without the help you need, things can get out of hand.

YES is one of the many resources that is located on the Eastside for struggling adolescents and families, helping thousands of people each year. In addition to raising awareness through school presentations, YES also offers skills and support groups.

For instance, YES provides classes that educate teens about problems such as drugs or alcohol. Another example is the sixteen week Dialectical Behavior Therapy class that covers core mindfulness skills, which help teens to control and regulate their emotions with a goal of making healthier decisions. The class also teaches relationship and stress management skills.

Kirkland Teen Union Building (KTUB), is another organization that provides a safe place for teens to hang out with other kids their age, learn new things, and acquire the skills they need to be prepared for the outside world. KTUB o� ers a wide variety of resources, in-cluding help with writing resumes and prepar-ing for job interviews. They also help teens with obtaining the certification requirements for a food handler’s card, which allows them to serve food. At

When teens are facing challenges, “A stitch in time saves nine!”

She talked to the school counselor and realized how upset she was. � e last couple of years had been very di� cult for her. When

she had someone to talk to, Sue started to make better decisions. She now meets with a YES mentor once a week and her family has learned to communicate better. Everyone in Sue’s family realizes how they had been a� ected by the events of the past couple of years. � ey learned to work together and make things better.

� is story helped me understand how teens can be swept into doing something they may not have done under a di� er-ent set of circumstances. I believe that in the moment, when someone is trying

to � t in at a new school, it can be hard to turn away from a group of kids who is accepting you, even if they may have a bad in� uence on you.

Sometimes when your family is going through a tough time, it can be hard to work together and communicate. We are very lucky to live in an area with so many valuable resources to help teens and their families. And remember, when you’re facing a com-plicated situation, “a stitch in time saves nine!”

Kirkland moves forward with traffic signal timing optimization

The Kirkland City Council authorized staff

to request bids for Kirk-land’s Intelligent Trans-portation (ITS) Project on Sept. 16. A total of 13 traffic signals will be upgraded allowing for the optimization of the signal timing along two corridors and traffic flow monitoring in real time.

Improved traffic signal timing is designed to reduce traffic congestion and delays and contribute to improved air qual-ity. The Lake Washing-ton Boulevard/Market Street/98th Street/100th Avenue Northeast Corri-dor from State Route 520/

Northup Way to North-east 132nd Street and the Central Way/Northeast 85th Street Corridor from Lake Street to 132nd Av-enue Northeast will both see improvements.

The current engineer’s estimate for the traffic signal and communica-tion is $525,875.

Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) will be installed at signalized

intersection crosswalks as part of Phase I. The APS element is an integrated device that communicates information about the “Walk/Don’t Walk” inter-vals in non-visual formats for pedestrians who have difficulty seeing.

Earlier this year, a conference room at City Hall was converted into the city’s TMC (Traffic Management Center)

which is operated by the Public Works Depart-ment/Transportation Engineering Division. When ITS Phase I and II are implemented a total of 40 traffic signal locations will be connected with the city’s TMC.

For more information on the ITS Project, visit www.kirklandwa.gov and search Intelligent Trans-portation System.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Ameri-cans do not only work longer and take less time o� than Europeans, and as of late, even the Japanese, they

also seem unable to reap the bene� ts of their holi-days as much in terms of recreation and rejuvenation. Studies show that the e� ects of taking breaks from work

can vary dramatically based on how workers choose to unwind.

“Relaxation and vacation aren’t merely the opposite of work. � ey are engaging,

vital parts of your life that deserve happy thought and careful attention,” says Jan Bruce, CEO and founder of meQuilibrium who writes about issues of stress in the workplace. “If you think of vacation as a big blank, that’s what you’ll get.”

It is of great importance to incorporate relaxation into daily life, not only during holidays but as an integral part of one’s lifestyle, she says. A� er all, how your vacation unfolds is heavily in� uenced by your mindset. If adventure

or playing sports recharges your batteries best, go for it – if lounging by the pool does the trick, by all means lounge on. � e point is to get in the right spirit or mental shape that makes a vacation satisfying and suc-cessful, she advises.

Vacations result in rejuvenation for workers

Kirkland business owner Nancy Burritt has been nominated as a � nalist in the King County Executive’s Small Business Awards for “Workforce Development Small Business of the Year.”

Burritt, who runs Skyma-nia Trampolines in the Totem Lake neighborhood, is the only Kirkland-based business to make it as a � nalist in any category this year.

According to the county’s

website, the award “recog-nizes the small business with outstanding practices in hir-ing, retaining, and develop-ing the skills of its workers.”

� e winner will be an-nounced at the awards cer-emony Oct. 15 at Meyden-bauer Center in Bellevue.

Burritt said most of her employees are 21 and under, which she sees as an oppor-tunity to train young adults and give them valuable skills they will take with them as they progress in their careers.

“A part of our belief is we need to coach them so when they move to the next job they have what they need to become a better employee for someone else,” she said. “It was part of our founding activities we wanted to do. For a lot of them, this is their � rst job.”

Among those skills, she said, is the ability to interact well with others, show up on time for work.

“People aren’t taught that very much anymore,” she

said. “We want to help them grow in their relationships whether college high school or their next job.”

Another skill she said she emphasizes strongly is inter-acting well with customers.

“� ere has to be growth, because in this business, as in any other business, if the customer service is not outstanding and above and beyond, you’re not going to make it,” she said. “My young adults are the customer service front liners.”

Skymania also does a lot for children by hosting various events throughout the year.

� e business teamed up with Placefull and Birthday Dreams to throw a party to bene� t homeless youth and foster children throughout the Puget Sound last year.

Skymania also hosts New York Life’s Child I.D. pro-gram, designed to help chil-dren in the community learn how to stay safe in the home, at play or wherever they hap-

pen to be. A child I.D. gives parents or guardians the peace of mind knowing that they will have an I.D. with vital information to distribute to the local authorities.

Skymania opened in late 2011 and is located at 11801 N.E. 116th St. in Kirkland.

Valuation notices mailed to property owners

King County Assessor Lloyd Hara’s o� ce mailed the 2014 property valuations on Sept. 11 to all residential property owners in Area 73 – Kingsgate and Queensgate - located in Northwest King County. Area 73 residential property values generally in-creased by 17.9 percent but individual property values might vary. � e Assessor’s O� ce will continue to mail out more than 600,000 residential and commer-cial valuation notices to taxpayers throughout the rest of King County between September and October.

Residential property is as-sessed each year at 100 per-cent of its true and fair mar-ket value in money, which is de� ned by Washington State law as the amount of money

that a willing and unobli-gated buyer is willing to pay a willing and unobligated seller. Residential values are determined based on multiple sales of similar properties.

� e King County Asses-sor’s O� ce annually revalues all properties and conducts a physical inspection on each property once every six years. � e last physical inspections of the Kingsgate/Queensgate area were con-ducted in 2013 and 2012.

“Continuing the 2013 trend, property values are in-creasing across King County as we emerge from the Great Recession,” Hara said. “In 2013, we saw a residential increase in 76 out of 86 resi-dential areas and we expect to see continued growth in residential values in 2014 for almost all residential areas in King County except for a small number of parcels in the Snoqualmie Pass and

Stevens Pass areas.”Hara reminds all property

owners to carefully review the information contained in the valuation notice. If you feel a mistake has been made in valuing your property, it is recommended that you contact the Assessor’s O� ce directly before � ling an ap-peal at (206) 296-7300 or as-sessor.info@kingcountygov.

Property owners can review their property information online using

eReal Property and review our Area Reports on the As-sessor’s homepage at www.kingcounty.gov/assessor or with the Assessor’s sta� to make sure an error has not been made. King County allows 60 days from the valuation’s postmark date to � le an appeal with the King County Board of Equaliza-tions.

Some low-income seniors, disabled veterans, or disabled persons retired

because of a disability might be eligible for a property tax deferral or exemption. � e King County Assessor’s Of-� ce encourages you or those you know to contact our of-� ce to determine eligibility.

For King County taxpay-

ers who need advice and assistance on property tax related matters, including appeals, contact the King County Tax Advisor at (206) 477-1060 or by email at [email protected].

Juanita High School foot-ball head coach Shaun Tarantola showed Friday

night that he didn’t teach former assistant coach and current Lake Washington head coach AJ Parnell ev-erything he knows - because you can’t teach speed.

Despite the fact that the Kangs have a lot more � ght this year under Parnell, the Rebels still outran their crosstown rivals, 47-19, at Juanita High School in Kirkland.

“Speed has been a big factor as well as execution and e� ort,” Tarantola said about his team’s 3-0 start to the season. “We were happy to come away with a win against LW and we felt they played a tough game.”

But it was the arm of the Rebels’ starting quarterback that made a huge statement during the opening minutes of the game. A 57-yard touchdown pass from quar-terback Tavin Montgomery to wide receiver Daegan Andrews gave the home

team an early edge.� e Kangs would not be

deterred, scoring a touch-down on a � ve-yard run by Elliot Phillips. A missed extra point le� the Kangs down 7-6.

Juanita took control of the scoreboard before hal� ime with two scores. � e Rebels scored on a 17-yard touch-down run by Salvon Ahmed and then took a 21-6 lead on an 18-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarter-

back Dexter Mell to wide receiver Jared Holden.

Lake Washing-ton would not go quietly, starting the second half with a

long drive, capped o� by a Phillips’ 19-yard

touchdown run. It cut the lead to just one score.

“I was most impressed with how much better LW played compared to the previous two weeks,” Tarantola said. “I would bet they improve throughout the season.”

But the Rebels junior quarterback led the team back with his feet, scoring a touchdown with a 16-yard

run. A 40-yard � eld goal by Juanita’s Jackson Clemensen extended the lead to 31-13 by the end of the third quarter.

Phillips’ third touchdown of the game, a two-yard score, gave Lake Washing-ton some momentum but a failed two-point conversion le� the Kangs down by 12 points.

“Elliot is a tough kid, runs extremely hard and is really tough to bring down but I give a lot of credit to our o� ensive line,” Parnell said. “� ey really came together and blocked well throughout the night. Along with that our wide receivers played very physical in their blocking which allowed Elliot and our other backs to turn four-yard gains into 10-plus-yard runs.”

Montgomery’s legs would once again prove to be a dagger into the heart of Lake Washington, as the quarterback scrambled 47-yards for a touchdown during what would prove to be the de� ning play of the game.

Montgomery � nished o�

the scoring for the contest with a 34-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Moctezuma.

Juanita will travel to Mercer Island High School tonight for a 7 p.m. game against the Islanders.

“We have to put our best foot forward across the board,” Tarantola said. “Mer-cer Island is a great challenge and we need to play a fast, physical and execute the de-tails game and fundamentals of our game plan.”

� e Islanders are 1-2 and coming o� a 42-21 loss to

Bellevue. � eir only win this season was 44-10 against 4A Kentridge High School.

Parnell said it was a dif-ferent experience walking onto the visitors’ sideline at the Rebels’ stadium a� er graduating from the school and coaching as an assistant.

“I have great memories as a player and coach from my time at Juanita so it was an odd feeling throughout the week,” Parnell said. “But once kicko� hit it really became just another football game. I feel very

honored and privileged to have coached those kids at Juanita and to now be the head coach at LW so it was a fun night altogether.”

Parnell and his Kangs will try to get back to .500 as they host Liberty tonight for a 7 p.m. kicko� against the Patriots.

“Liberty is a great program that is very well coached by Steve Valach and his sta� ,” Parnell said. “I have a ton of respect for them and am excited to compete with them.”

Liberty is 3-0 and has won its last two games of the season against Interlake and Hazen by a combined score of 107-38.

“For us the focus does not change. From day one our opponent every week is ourselves and striving to be-come the best LW we can,” Parnell said. “Our kids are starting to really buy into that as well as our ‘Always Rising’ mentality, which calls us to never quit regard-less of any adversity that comes our way. I hope this becomes a trademark for our program and the type of people we are striving to develop.”

Kyle WarnickKyle Warnick was tragically taken

from this world after being hit by a car while walking his dog on September 15, 2014 in Kirkland, WA. Kyle’s was a life well-lived for one taken so soon. He was a beautiful soul and touched thousands of lives in various communities over the years.

Kyle was born December 18, 1970 in Shoreline, WA. His intelligence and creativity were evident from a very young age. He grew up engrossed in books, comics, all things Star Wars and was an intrepid member of Cub Scout Pack 177.

From Cub Scouts through Boy Scouts he persevered to earn Scouting’s highest rank of Eagle Scout. Kyle’s love of Scouting continued through his time on sta� at Camp Parsons and later serving as Pack Leader for his children’s time in Scouting.

He attended Watson Groen High School in Shoreline and was voted “most creative” by his classmates which held true for the balance of his days. He went on to study English and Fine Arts at Seattle Paci� c University. Kyle channeled his creative energies professionally through work in Public Relations and Marketing for � rms such as T-Mobile, the National Cancer Institute and most recently at Microsoft. His work was instrumental in the original Microsoft Surface product launch. His real professional and personal passion was storytelling. Kyle was a master storyteller and created his own venture called Stories Told Well which helped individuals and organizations think di� erently and use storytelling as a powerful tool. Kyle’s blend of humor, creativity, intelligence, heart, charisma and timing made his stories so memorable. It’s those stories that resonate so much with those that he’s left behind.

Kyle was a man who loved life. He had a laugh that would make others laugh. He was in awe of the genius and vision of Walt Disney. He admired the humility of Jimmy Stewart and all things “It’s a Wonderful Life”. His culinary abilities were truly noteworthy. He used the latter to honor his wife by creating a cooking group where husbands would cook 5 course meals for their wives. He loved music and cinema and would hold occasional mini-concerts in his home for local musicians. Kyle’s a� nity for the Christmas season was legendary and he would personally deliver his annual Christmas Mix CDs to anyone that would ask.

Kyle loved his family deeply. Words can’t adequately express the devotion he had for his wife and children. He met his wife Pam during their time at Seattle Paci� c University and had recently celebrated their 22nd Anniversary last month. Their marriage was an example to others of true love, laughter and happiness. Kyle was immensely proud of his sons Joshua and Jackson and would beam as he spoke about their most recent accomplishments or cheer them on in their various activities. Kyle is also survived by his father John Warnick and sister Kim Warnick. He was preceded in death by his mother Marjorie Warnick.

Kyle’s faith in Christ gives comfort and hope to his family and many friends of a reunion in Heaven. A celebration of Kyle’s life will be held on Friday, October 3 at 1 p.m. at Bellevue Presbyterian Church.

Memorials may be made to the “In Memory of Kyle Warnick” page at www.youcaring.com

Stephanie Sivecki PierceStephanie Pierce passed away

peacefully on September 16, 2014 in Kirkland, Washington.

Ste� e, as many called her, was born in Topolovka, Czechoslovakia, on September 7, 1921. She came to Canada with the start of the great Depression with her mom, dad and three siblings. They all settled in Red Pass, British Columbia. Ste� e met Tom Pierce in Red Pass and was married that same year on November 21, 1942. They moved to the Seattle area and she became a US citizen in 1946. They had three children, Beverly Grohn, Larry Pierce and Patricia Watson. She resided in Kirkland, Washington for over 67 years.

Ste� e was very active in donating time, money and to raising more money for charities. She was involved with Retired Eagles Activities Club (R.E.A.C.), part time babysitting, volunteering every day for Link Age, a daycare for seniors, along with working so hard as an active member of 51 years at the Kirkland Eagles. She also raised funds for Alzheimer grants to the University of Washington Research Center (over $20,000). She would make pies, collect cans and sell Beanie Babies or any other item she could sell to raise funds for donation. Ste� e received the � rst ever Humanitarian Award given out in 1995 by R.E.A.C. She received the Eaglette of the year, and was initiated into the Hall of Fame, the highest award given out by the Eagles Club at the state level, along with numerous other awards including the Paul Harris Fellow Award. Although she never drove, she visited the sick and the elderly whenever someone had the time to take her!

Stephanie is survived by her daughter Beverly, her husband John, granddaughters Liv and Tina, great granddaughter Vivian, and great grandsons Cole and Felix. Her son Larry, daughter Patricia and her husband Steve.

She spent her last three years at Marie’s Home Care, in Kirkland where the de� nition of family, was displayed every day. The family will be eternally grateful for all they did to keep her smiling, laughing and healthy and the gentleness they showed at the end.

There is a saying; How you live your dash is how you will be remembered! The dash between her dates, 1921 – 2014, has touched on many people’s lives, we know she will always be remembered as a person who thought and cared for others and always smiling!

In lieu of � owers, the family would be honored if you made your donations to the Kirkland Eagles Auxiliary #2681. (PO BOX 454, Kirkland Washington, 98083-0454) This way she

can have one more fundraiser!1142207

� e Women Business Owners (WBO), one of the Puget Sound’s leading organization for women entrepre-neurs, has named Kirkland business owners Makaylaa Powers and Niki McKay as two of � ve � nalists for the 2014 Nellie Cashman Woman Business Owner of the Year Awards Competition (‘� e Nellie’).

Rather than retiring a� er 30 years in Corporate America, Powers instead chose at 64 to enter a new � eld of caring and giving by purchasing a Visiting Angels franchise in Kirkland. Now cel-ebrating her 10-year anniversary, Powers knows it was the right decision.

“A� er caring for my mother the last seven months of her life as well as my stepfather who had demen-tia, I came to highly respect and empathize with the tasks of caregivers,” she said. “Without their help, I don’t think I would have survived that di� cult time. It was this experience that brought me to buying a Visiting Angels franchise.“

� e Visiting Angels team continues the vision of giving

back to the community and supporting seniors in the

area by providing quality and compas-sionate care.

“I found � e Nellie’s application process a remark-able look back and powerful a� rma-tion of how much I have achieved. Being named a � nalist is

such a privilege and clear reminder that a strong vision acted upon consistently does produce invaluable results for

myself and others,” Powers said.

As founder and principal owner of Blue Danube Productions, McKay launched the com-pany in 2007 with the vision of helping organizations real-ize how the use of

cutting-edge audio/visual

technology could enhance events for greater � nancial returns.

Early on, she recognized that in order to excel, her company needed to focus on customer-centric strategies, and although local event pro-duction is a � ercely competi-tive industry, Blue Danube has enjoyed great success.

Today, Blue Danube Productions is a multi-award winning, creative produc-tion company that leads the events industry in audio-visual design and technol-ogy. Its prime directive is to deliver an event experience the clients’ creative vision demands.

“I was completely hon-

ored when I was nominated to apply; it’s a privilege to be a part of this amazing group of � nalists,” McKay said. “� is nomination pro-cess has made me look at my business in a new way and realize the impact of our work on the commu-nity. It also made me put a value on the mentoring I

do for other women – I had never really thought about that before. It’s been an incredible experience.”

To qualify, a nominee must own at least 51 percent of her business, have owned it for � ve years or more and have three or more employ-ees. Candidates are judged on their entrepreneurial spirit, ethics and community commitment, � nancial and management skills.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

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