The Lake Washington School District has narrowed down its
possible options for redrawn school zone boundaries while revising them based on public feedback.
Among the biggest revi-sions is an option that would allow children in the Yarrow Ridge and Yarrow Bay Village
neighborhoods to remain within the Lakeview School Zone, rather than be sent to Ben Franklin Elementary as the three previous options would have dictated.
While the � rst of two scenarios would still include moving 42 students, the second scenario would only move 13, and they would come from the Northup Way area. Both scenarios proposed would move 53
students out of the LWLC and into the Juanita Learning Community.
But for Bellevue resident Deanna Androski, a parent trying to keep her two chil-dren in the Lakeview Zone, even if the school board vot-ed for scenario two, it might still be a short-term victory. As she sees it, they might come back the next year and propose to move them again, reinitiating a con� ict that
has spurred the idea of legal action and exhausted parents in her neighborhood.
“Our goal is to not ever have to move our kids and not repeat this battle in 12-24 months from now,” she said.
Androski, like many other Yarrow Ridge parents with kids in the Lakeview zone, has criticized the district’s rezoning proposals for what they perceive as only a� ecting the southend of the learning community while leaving the northeast area alone. She
also said their plans did not include a study of tra� c data and how it would a� ect par-ents’ ability to get their kids to new schools.
Androski also thinks that the revised scenario might just be there for the district to save face and so parents feel as though the district is listening to feedback.
“I’m still very concerned what they’re trying to do is pacify us and get us to calm down in the short term. I don’t want to have to � ght this battle again… We’re still wondering why they’re choosing what they’re choos-ing and we’re not feeling like this is a victory, especially since we don’t know scenario two is going to pass. But we’re working as long and as hard at it as we can.”

Vortex Music and Movies owner Daren Compton has the only independent record store on the Eastside and is expanding to a second location in Kirkland. TJ MARTINELL, Kirkland Reporter
BY TJ MARTINELL
� e Eastside’s only independent record store, Vortex Music and Movies on Totem Lake Boulevard, is planning to expand to a new storefront next month, which will also coincide with its third anniversary.
Boosted by a return-ing popularity of vintage vinyl records, owner Daren Compton said he hopes to attract more customers at the new location near the Value Village on 12400
116th Ave NE, which o� ers more parking space and has more visibility.
Despite the rise of digital downloads for both music and movies, Compton’s store is proof that people have an a� nity for physical products. Most of his sales, both online and in person, are vinyl.
“� e collective market has given me a boost,” he said.
Compton sees Record Store Day, which was of-� cially founded in 2007, as a sign of its revival a� er vinyl
underwent a sudden decline in popularity between 1988 and 1991.
With many of the records supplied through his own personal collection amassed over 40 years, � lling up storage units and garages, the new store will have more space to display them.
A former chef at Merrill Gardens, he grew up on classic rock like Led Zep-pelin, the Beatles and � e Who, whose records adorn the store along with other classic rock bands. He also remembers that the � rst
album purchased for him at age of 7 was the Beatles Sgt. Peppers during the fall of 1967.
“I made sure it was in stereo,” he said. “I got the mono version later. But that album was truly meaningful art. It didn’t have the typical love songs and singles.”
“My original thought was that the brick and mor-tar store would drive the website but I am rethinking that because I think the web drives the business,” Compton told the Reporter in 2011. “We have an active audience that orders online.”

147 incidents in 3 years at drug house prior to raidBY TJ MARTINELL
On Dec. 19, the Kirk-land Police Department and the Eastside Narcotics Task Force (ENTF) raided a home on the 8200 block of NE 142nd Street. � e Kirkland Code Enforce-ment later posted Do Not Occupy signs on the doors, and the city is now seek-
ing an abatement on the property.
For the Finn Hill residents who lived in the neighborhood, this meant an end to three years of making phone calls reporting 147 suspicious incidents. � e Dec. 19 raid was the second time a SWAT raid had taken place at the residence, the � rst

Judge dismisses charges against Hope SoloBY TJ MARTINELL
A Kirkland Municipal Court judge has dismissed domestic assault charges against U.S. women’s soccer team player and Kirkland resident Hope Solo.
Solo’s attorney had previously � led a motion to dismiss the charges, requesting two counts of fourth degree assault be dropped, claiming he has not been able to inter-view the alleged victims.
� e charges stemmed from an altercation with her half sister and 17-year-old nephew during a party at a family home in Kirkland June 21. Kirkland police respond-ed to the call of a disturbance
around 1 a.m. when a male caller stated that a female at the residence was ‘hitting people’ and they could not get her to stop or to leave the house.
When o� cers entered the home they noticed Solo was upset and intoxicated, according to police documents. � ey also observed visible inju-ries to Solo’s nephew and her sister. Solo’s
nephew had visible scratch marks, was bleeding from his ear and his t-shirt was torn, according to court docu-ments.
Solo has continued to play for the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team and was allowed to attend a training camp rather than the hearing.

two honored by city for saving man
The city of Kirkland and the Fire Department presented the Citizen Hero Award to Washington State Patrol Trooper Anna Gasser and Kris Hardie from Best Parking Lot Cleaning for their quick actions at an incident on the I-405 freeway in Kirkland.
Both were given certifi-cates and honored by council members.
Gasser was parked on the shoulder of southbound I-405 at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 27, 2014 when a large object slid across the road and came to rest in front of her vehicle. She then noticed a person in lane two rolling toward her vehicle, attempting to get out of the lanes of traffic.
The man had been involved in a motorcycle accident and it was his bike that had slid in front of her vehicle. As a result of the acci-dent, his left leg was ampu-tated from the knee down.
At the same time, Kris Hardie was operating a street sweeper in the northbound lanes of I-405 and witnessed the accident. He parked his vehicle and made his way across the southbound lanes on foot. He assisted Gasser in applying a tourniquet to the injured motorcyclist’s leg.

being in April 2013 to ap-prehend suspects as part of a burglary investigation that also involved the U.S. Secret Service.
Dozens of police docu-ments obtained by the Reporter through a public records request offer a glimpse into the situation. By the time KPD took over the area after the annexation of Finn Hill in June 2011, the four bedroom house had al-ready become well known as a source of alleged criminal activity and believed to have had between 8-20 people living there.
For police, it was an easy place to find people wanted for outstanding warrants or suspected in drug dealing, vehicle thefts, property theft, traffic offenses and bank robberies. Here are some examples of the police visits.
Almost got ‘emIn January 2013, two KPD
officers on patrol observed a vehicle parked outside of the house for 15 minutes. A man left the house and ap-proached the vehicle, where he took something out of his pocket and offered it to the driver, and then went back into the house.
It was a scene residents had reported to police doz-ens of times while complain-ing about suspicious drug activity.
Police also knew two of the residents were wanted on extraditable warrants.
After the interaction, a third officer pulled over the vehicle and found three people inside. While look-ing at the 22-year-old male driver, one of the officers noticed tinfoil lying on the driver-side floor boards. In the back, the vehicle was covered with random items and backpacks. When the officer asked a 40-year-old woman passenger why there was tinfoil on the ground, she replied that it had come from inside of their box of pizza sitting in the back of the vehicle. When she opened the box, however, no tinfoil interior was found.
Meanwhile, the male driver was questioned. He insisted he hadn’t gone to the house to make a drug
transaction. Or, that is, a drug trans-
action at that particular moment in time. He claimed he had just gotten out of Snohomish County Jail stemming from an unre-lated drug arrest and had gone there to pay one of the residents $60 for a past drug sale.
When the police doubted his story - the part about the payment being a past drug sale, that is - the man said they were welcome to search the vehicle.
Instead, they questioned the other woman passenger, a 23-year-old, whose story was somewhat different. She promptly admitted she and the two other individuals were heroin addicts and that they had come to the house to purchase heroin, because the man was going to “get her high” with money he had gotten from his father. As for the heroin itself, she didn’t know where it was because the man started “freaking out” as soon as he saw the police vehicle.
The 40-year-old female and registered owner of the vehicle, however, denied there were any illegal drugs and allowed police to search the vehicle, even after they told her she wasn’t required to and she could stop the search at any time.
As the cops went to get a permission to search form for the 40-year-old female to sign, the man’s recollection suddenly changed.
They had in fact gone to the house to carry out a drug transaction, he said. And, he added, there were drugs in the glove compart-ment. Inside the compart-ment, the officer found an electronic weight scale and a plastic cover with a brown tar substance that resembled heroin. There was also a plastic bag sitting in the compartment next to the scale which contained pieces of tinfoil that had “tracks,”
meaning they had been used to heat up heroin so it could be smoked.
Shown the brown tar sub-stance, the man admitted it was heroin and that the $60 was used to pay for it.
The 40-year-old woman was released, but told not to drive her vehicle. The 23-year-old woman asked the cops for a ride back to the police station but not before writing a statement admitting they had gone to the residence to buy heroin.
The man was arrested, but despite being informed of his Miranda rights, he was still willing to talk to the officers. During his interview he provided a written statement in which he admitted he had bought heroin and provided the name of the dealer at the house. He also listed the drugs the 40-year-old used and didn’t use.
The drug evidence was sent to the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab. In Febru-ary 2014, the police received the results.
Negative. In the end, none of the
occupants were ever charged for drugs.
Fearing and loathing
On April 18, 2013, an officer observed a 34-year-old man working under the hood of his vehicle parked in the driveway of the residence. A records check showed he was wanted by the KPD on suspicion of possessing stolen property. While he worked under the hood, a 41-year-old woman took four bags from the vehicle and placed them against the house, then paced around the front yard and back yard and then looked through the bags she had put against the house.
The officers left their ve-hicle and arrested the man, but not before they discov-ered the woman had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant out of Bellevue for theft. During her arrest, the woman claimed she was from another country and America’s laws didn’t apply to her. When officers in-formed her of her rights she refused to acknowledge she understood them or answer any questions.
Police examined a ceramic tray used for potted plans she had been holding when arrested, and it was found to contain methamphetamines. Yet she insisted she knew nothing of drugs and that she did not do drugs. She then began talking nonsensi-cally and was unable to stay focused as they questioned her.
Police then realized she may not have known what methamphetamines are, but she knew how to use them.
The man seemed to have the same ignorance. When they told him they had found meth, he asked curi-ously, “What is that? Is that a drug?”
They then searched the woman’s bags, which included a brown corduroy “Hurley” purse as well as a reusable grocery bag with yellow and purple flow-ers and “Jesus” written on the side with black marker. Inside the purse the officers found a glass meth pipe.
Asked about the purse, the woman declared she was a man and did not carry a purse.
In response to questions about the bags, she said “I have stuff all over. I don’t know where all my bags are.”
Ultimately, the man was interviewed but released, while the woman was turned over to Bellevue police and
cited through investigation. The police report ultimately listed her as a woman.
Wardrobe malfunction
On Dec. 16, 2013, a report came in about a vehicle parked outside the residence for 20 minutes after a girl had gotten out and entered the house. An officer con-tacted the 45-year-old man in the vehicle, who said he had been texting while his cousin’s ex-girlfriend had gone inside. He gave the of-ficer her name and a records search showed she was an 18-year-old woman with an outstanding warrant out of Marysville and another from Everett.
While still conversing with the man, the officer saw the woman approaching the vehicle wearing a low-cut shirt. He told the driver to leave and then confronted the woman. Asking if she had anything on her, she just stared ahead and said nothing. When he asked again, she said she had clean needles in her purse.
But they weren’t for her, she insisted, just for her IV drug user friends.
As the officer patted her down, he noticed a syringe filled with a brown substance on the top of her breasts, held in place by her bra cups.
He asked her if the syringe was capped.
“It’s in my bra!” she an-swered. “Yeah, it’s capped!”
She then added that it wasn’t anything, just a cleansing solution she was bringing to a friend.
On top of the syringe, the officer found a bottle of iodine and a spoon in her pocket. In her purse, he found a green case contain-ing a rubber elastic band used to help find a blood vein, clean syringes, hard plastic tubing with brown residue and alcohol swabs.
Not surprisingly, the “cleaning solution” in the syringe later tested positive for heroin/morphine.
Mommie DearestIn April 2012, police ar-
rested a man at the property on an outstanding $10,000 domestic violence war-rant. He also had numerous theft-related convictions and a suspended license due to a felony involving a vehicle. At the time of his arrest, he was found with three knives and a pair of pliers, as well as a vehicle full of power tools and equipment commonly used for purchasing drugs.
His explanation: He was a mechanic.
The cops weren’t fully convinced.

Bag the ban on plastic bagsMarika Weber wrote succinctly in favor of a ban
on plastic bags and corresponding tax on paper bags. Here’s a counter argument. First, our family uses these free bags as trash can liners. Banning them would require us to buy commercial liners, which are of thicker plastic, and thus, worse for the environment. Second, all the grocery bags we don’t use get returned to the store, where a com-mercial recycler picks them up and they get made into other useful products (like grocery bags). � ird, back in the 70’s the environmental slogan was: “Reduce, reuse, recycle.” � in-� lm grocery bags adhere to this credo in all three ways. And my family is not alone in this e� ort: according to the EPA an estimated one billion pounds of plastic bags, sacks and wraps were recycled in 2010, a 55 percent increase since 2005.
Fourth, unless reusable bags are washed in 140
degree soapy water they can accumulate some nas-ty bacteria. A study by the University of Arizona found that 50 percent of all reusable bags contained food-borne bacteria like salmonella. What’s more, 12 percent contained E. coli, indicating the pres-ence of fecal matter and other pathogens. I wonder, Marika, do you dutifully and thoroughly wash your reusable bag a� er each trip, or just hang it up in the garage, like my 20-something daughters do?
Finally, those jaunty, politically-correct reusable bags, with their whimsical sayings, fun slogans and artistic designs, are predominantly made in China. � ose boring, brown, thin-� lm grocery bags, are made in America - o� en from recycled grocery bags - by 30,000 workers at 329 plants all (source: www.plasticsindustry.org) around the country. We should be proud of the vibrant recycling industry we have created, not seek to minimize it with loopy ideas like a bag ban.
If the Kirkland City Council has any lingering
thoughts of implementing a misguided-but-feels-good ban on thin-� lm grocery bags, they should dispose of that idea immediately (in a land� ll; no recycling). Summing up: Plastic bag bans do not improve the environment (because they force us to buy thicker plastic bags for our trash cans) but they do increase costs for everyone, and do increase the likelihood of spreading infectious diseases among our families. � ey do also help increase the trade de� cit while helping to throw 30,000 citizens out of work, for a product that is largely recycled, and even when not, takes up just under 0.5 percent of our land� lls.

● L E T T E R S . . . Y O U R O P I N I O N C O U N T S : To submit an item or photo: email [email protected]; mail attn: Letters, Kirkland Reporter, 11630 Slater Ave. N.E., Suite 8/9, Kirkland, Washington, 98034; fax 425.822.0141. Letters may be edited for style, clarity and length.
One of Bryan Vadney’s jobs as president of the local � re� ghters union is to maximize the number of � re� ghters hired, apparently
without regard for whether it is in the city’s overall best interests and without balancing the cost against other important priorities.
It’s thus not surprising for him to come in at the last minute of a two-year station siting process claiming that geography is irrel-evant, more � re� ghters are really the answer, and to have “lost con� dence” in management who made recommendations based on actual response time and call data.
What is surprising and disappointing, however, is escalating that to stirring up public concern about quality of service, pitting neighborhood against neighborhood, and twisting and selectively using facts, such as the following:
Vadney fails to point out that Station 34 is not and never has been a Kirkland � re station; it belongs to Woodinville Fire and Rescue. It was WF&R’s decision to close it, not Kirkland’s.
Vadney fails to point out that the volume of � re and EMS calls on Finn Hill never have justi� ed hav-ing two fully-sta� ed � re stations on the hill.
Vadney fails to point out that the reason Station 27 handles so many calls is that it has twice the sta� and coverage area of other stations in the city.
Vadney fails to point out that Stations 25 and 27 have always responded into areas south of NE 132nd Street even when the buildings and equip-ment were owned by Fire District 41. City residents have always bene� tted from this positioning of assets by FD41. Station 27 would have never been built right on what was then the northern bound-ary of the city if it was intended to be used only to respond into FD41.
Vadney fails to point out that the $5.2 million transferred to the city from FD41 can be used only for the capital cost of building a new � re station. None of it can be used for sta� ng. None of it can be used toward an aquatic center, regardless of location.
Building a new � re station along the boundary of northern Finn Hill and North Juanita would not
be a “waist” (sic), as Vadney puts it. Dispatch data is clear that dividing Station 27 into two will not reduce overall coverage, but will simply spread it geographically to make it possible for more of the city to be reached by � re and EMS units within national standard response times.
� e units in Station 27 already respond into north Finn Hill and western North Juanita; the new station will simply make it possible to reach those areas faster. � e units that would remain in Station 27 would continue to respond to calls in Totem Lake and Kingsgate as they do today. � e calls currently handled by Station 27 in the area from eastern Finn Hill to the eastern edge of the city would be smoothly divided and balanced between the two stations.
� e city plans to also build a new Station 27 east of I-405 so that assets would be positioned to be able to reach the north and east portions of Kingsgate and the eastern portions of Totem Lake even more quickly, to close the gap created when Woodinville closed its station. � is would also give us a second station east of I-405 to help people there if a big earthquake collapses the overpasses on I-405 cutting the city in half.
Having three stations spread evenly across the northern half of the city would provide coverage and service levels comparable to the three stations spread across the southern half of the city, not lower levels of service.
As a former commissioner of Fire District 41, I know personally that the goal of the District always was to close the response time gaps on the edges of the district in the most cost-e� ective way possible. Further study has shown that neither a second sta-
tion on Finn Hill nor a single consolidated station would accomplish that. Spreading three stations evenly across the northern neighborhoods would.
� ese proposals are not in any way politically motivated, but driven by the desire to optimize the positioning of � re units to reach the greatest number of people as quickly as possible, using city resources as e� ciently as possible as our citizens and taxpayers expect.
� e Kirkland City Council knows that public safety is the number one priority of Kirkland resi-dents, and takes seriously its responsibility to main-tain a high level of service and provide adequate sta� ng to meet the need. In December the Council just added $3 million dollars to help complete the new station and another $1 million to provide sup-plemental sta� ng at Station 25 until the new station is built. � e Council will always step up to keep our residents safe. But that does not require excessive sta� ng in concentrated locations to accommodate every possible combination of simultaneous events, such that other important priorities in the city would be ignored. � e council does not and would not pit neighbor against neighbor, or enact policies that would put the people of the city in danger.
� e city will continue to work with all stakehold-ers, including � re� ghters, to identify and implement the best solutions to the challenges that face us. We hope everyone will set aside political grandstanding and join in good faith collaboration.

Council adopts a budget that promises the tax payers is all they need to run the city. Don’t believe it. � ey’ll spend a lot more at our expense. Historically, the city has aver-aged a surplus of $15 million per year.
Balancing the budget that shows the added surplus is not a problem.
� e question is what to do with the surplus. With additional money coming in, the budget is not balanced, so the council will hold
meetings that change expen-diture � gures periodically to balance the budget.
� e council doesn’t keep its promises. � ey’re spend-ing our surplus.
I contend that we are bet-ter at balancing our budgets. � e problem is governments are spending more and more of our money leaving us a reduced amount that makes it more di� cult for us to balance our budget that we can live by.
Kirkland balanced budgets don’t last long. � ey keep on
spending. � e council busts right through their own adopted budgets.
Sta� told us the city’s adopted budget will increase about 2 percent. It’s really 7 percent far greater than � xed income’s COLA’s 1.7 percent that seniors are getting. In order for the 2 percent to be true, the city must use some creative adjustments. As money keeps rolling in, surplus is spent, money that could go a long way to help us balance our budgets.Robert L. Style, Kirkland

BY JOHN BOYLE
Everett Herald
Bruce Irvin is dis-cussing his second season as a line-
backer, talking about how he has finally accepted that he is no longer a defensive end, when Cliff Avril interrupts from the next locker over.
“He ain’t bought in all the way,” Avril says with a laugh.
And Avril is right, as much as Irvin has improved as a linebacker this year, he is still in many ways a defensive end at heart, putting the act of hitting a quarter-back above all else.
“I’ll always be a D-lineman at heart, but (linebacker) is fun,” said Irvin, who was drafted in the first round as an end in 2012, but moved to strongside linebacker last year.
In fact Irvin, who had 6.0 sacks this sea-son while splitting time between linebacker and pass rusher, says he’d still take a sack over an interception return for a touchdown. It is a play that is the Holy Grail for many defensive players, and something Irvin has two of this year, includ-ing one in Seattle’s Week 17 win over St. Louis that clinched the NFC West title.
“That was fun, but I’d rather have a sack though,” he said. “I’d rather have two sacks. I’d take one and a half sacks over them two touch-downs. I need them sacks, man. I need ‘em. I need ‘em, man.”
But even if the pass-rushing element of his job is still Irvin’s first love, he is embracing his role at linebacker in a way he didn’t in 2013. It wasn’t that Irvin was bad last season, but he didn’t have the impact he has had this season. He is play-ing well against the run, making plays in coverage, making the right pre-snap adjustments, all while still getting those cherished sacks as a pass rusher.
“I feel like I’ve made a significant stride to be-coming a good, consistent ‘backer,” Irvin said. “The biggest thing with me was just being consistent. Last year I’d have a good game, then fall off two games, then have a good game. So that was the biggest thing for me was to try to stay consistent, and I think I’ve done that pretty well this year.”
Irvin said the biggest change as been “Just studying more. I wasn’t too sold on becoming a ‘backer, because I was a D-end all my life. So I really didn’t buy in last year like I was supposed
to. But this year, I took it more seriously, I guess you could say, studying my craft, trying to correct my mistakes.”
By thriving in a dual role this season, Irvin, who is arguably the team’s best pound-for-pound athlete, has overcome one of his perceived weak-nesses coming out of West Virginia, where he was used as a situational pass rusher. Plenty of people liked Irvin’s upside in the 2012 draft, but not everyone was sold
on the idea of him as a first-round pick. Seattle, however, used the No. 15 pick on Irvin, and he was effective, collecting 8.0 sacks, the most for a rookie that season, but as was the case in college, he was a part-time player.
This season, however, Irvin has played 70.8 per-cent of Seattle’s defensive snaps and his role has in-creased even more of late with him playing 84 per-cent or more of the snaps in each of the past three games. Against Carolina
and mobile quarterback Cam Newton, who Irvin sacked twice earlier this season, Irvin figures to have a big role once again when Seattle kicks off postseason play tomorrow night.
“I’m just doing the complete opposite of what my biggest knock was coming into the league — I was a one-dimensional pass rusher who couldn’t play the run,” Irvin said. “I think I’m proving that I can play the run pretty good. Pass rushing is
coming along, so I think I’m becoming a complete player if you ask me.”
The Seahawks were excited about the idea of Irvin as a linebacker when they made the move last season.
“When you look up the picture of a linebacker, his face shows up,” lineback-ers coach Ken Norton Jr. said early last season. “We’re really excited, he’s going to do it all. He’s going to be rushing the passer, he’s going to be playing the run, he’s going to be buzzing to the flats, he’s going to be flying around.”
But it took time for Irvin to not just learn how to be a linebacker, but also to embrace the change. And after a second season at his new position, Irvin is starting to look more and more like that player Norton described 15 months ago.
“I’m just trying to be consistent,” Irvin said. “Talent is cool, but when you’re team can’t depend on you to be at the right spot or depend on you to make certain plays, that don’t mean nothing. That’s my biggest thing, I’m just trying to be de-pendable, man. Let these guys know that I’m going to be there when I’m sup-posed to be there.”

Outpatient knee replacement
Knee replacement surgery is one of the most effective operations in orthopedics. More than 600,000 knee-replacement surgeries are performed annually in the United States. The goal of this procedure is to reduce pain from arthritis. Knee replacement surgery involves replacing the joint surfaces where the cartilage has been damaged, with metal and plastic components.
Traditionally, knee re-placement surgery is a major surgical procedure that involves a two-to-five night hospital stay.
Recent surgical innova-tions, such as minimally invasive techniques and computer navigation, allow surgeons to perform knee replacement through smaller incisions with less tissue damage, which means less pain after surgery and a quicker recovery. Pain can also be managed with the help of new anesthetic agents that can be placed within the knee at the time of surgery. These advances have drasti-cally reduced the number of days patients stay in the hos-pital, sometimes eliminating the need for a hospital stay altogether.
We have developed a process to help predict if a patient’s overall health and specific knee condition is suitable for outpatient knee replacement. These patients then are placed in a rapid re-habilitation program, which involves seeing a physical therapist prior to surgery. We have found that a patient’s overall experience is better
when the patient and the family members are in-formed and prepared for the return home after surgery.
The potential benefits to outpatient knee replace-ment surgery include fewer complications, improved outcomes, and better patient satisfaction. Patient safety al-ways comes first and patients must meet strict discharge criteria prior to leaving the hospital. Patients must have stable vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature), have adequate pain control, and be able to ambulate safely prior to leaving the hospital.
Knee replacement study
Doctors with Proliance Surgeons in Bothell will be formally evaluating out-comes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), utilizing MIS (minimally invasive surgery) computer-assisted
techniques in normal risk and high risk patients.
Patients involved in the study will undergo a thor-ough preoperative teaching program, and have their knee replacement performed by experts in MIS-Navigated techniques, and utilize state-of-the-art knee replacement implants and postoperative pain management methods. They will learn and follow a rapid rehabilitation program. Their evaluations will include details of their pain control, range of motion, return to activities and overall patient satisfaction. The informa-tion helps set the stage for safe improvement in knee replacement surgery.

School Board studied the most recent options at a meeting Monday, according
to spokesperson Kath-ryn Reith. The boundary committee received input from the community until Wednesday, which they will
now take the feedback to re-view today. Reith added that eventually the committee will determine the final recom-mendation to present to the superintendent, who will then make her own recom-mendations to put forward to the school board for a final vote on Jan. 26.
LWSD is planning to rezone the school boundaries in an attempt to properly ac-commodate student growth by placing them in schools based on capacity and ex-pected growth in each neigh-
borhood. Though there were originally seven scenarios considered by the school board at a Nov. 17 study session, they were whittled down to three by December. The district sought public input on these three options for the Lake Washington Learning Community from Dec. 1-15 before reducing the scenarios to two.
All three previous scenar-ios for the LWLC considered in December would have had 42 Lakeview students moved to Ben Franklin
Elementary and Rose Hill Middle School, a situation which drew protests from parents, particularly from the Yarrow Ridge and Yarrow Bay Village neighborhoods. Among their complaints was that they were highly invested in their children’s current schools, that to switch would have a detrimental effect on their property values and the move would essentially sever their connection to their local community.
Reith previously told the Reporter that the district is trying to keep as many neighborhoods together as possible, but “most of the time, any scenario we create
isn’t perfect.” She added that public feedback would be used to determine any revi-sions.
Reith also said that the district must redraw school zones after the district bond failed to get 60 percent ap-proval, which would have helped with overcrowding. In October, the district sought input on a plan to redirect funds that would go, among other things, towards install-ing one portable at Franklin Elementary, 10 portables at Lake Washington High School, and modifications to Juanita High School creating offices for teachers during their planning periods. The redrawn boundaries, she said, are intended to relieve congested schools and move students into ones which are not at full capacity yet.
After seeking public input on the boundary process in September, the district received over 5,000 responses from parents, with the top ranked criteria being main-taining neighborhoods to the extent possible and minimiz-ing the number of students and families affected.

Things just seem to be getting worse for Kirkland resident and
former Seattle Sonics basket-ball player Robert Swift.
A fugitive for two months on an outstanding bench warrant for missing a hearing for possessing a sawed-off shotgun, Swift was arrested Jan. 5 after allegedly attempting a break-in with
another man at a home in Gold Bar. He pleaded not guilty on the gun charge in King County Superior Court on Monday.
A King County judge issued the bench warrant for his arrest when he failed to show up for his court appearance in November. He remains in jail with bail set at $20,000, according to the King County Prosecutor’s Office.
The sawed-off shotgun
was found along with nearly 30 other firearms during a raid by Redmond and Kirkland Police on a Juanita home in October, where Swift was living at the time. The owner of the home on the 14000 block of 108th Ave., Trygve Lief Bjorkstam, 54, has been charged by the King County Prosecutor’s Office with buying, manu-facturing and selling meth-amphetamine and heroin.
Swift had been previ-
ously evicted out of his Sammamish home after it was foreclosed. At the time of the October police raid, he had been living in Bjorkstam’s home for six months, according to police documents. Following the raid he was detained and brought to the Redmond Police Department, where he told investigators that he helped “clean the place up,” but wasn’t involved in the drug dealing. He admitted,
according to the documents, that he had a heroin addic-tion and got his heroin from Bjorkstam.
Swift also told investiga-tors that he had accompa-nied Bjorkstam to confront a drug dealer who had failed to give him $2,000 for heroin. Swift stated that both of them were armed during the confrontation, the docu-ments continue.
The Reporter first broke the news that Swift was
living in the Kirkland home after discovering that police had been called to the residence in the days fol-lowing the raid. The police reports, obtained through a public information request, repeatedly mentioned Swift, and Kirkland police later confirmed his identity.
Swift was selected by the Sonics with the 12th pick in the 2004 NBA draft. He will be back in court on Jan. 26 for a case setting hearing.

There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.
