EvergreenHealth starts � ve-year sponsorship of KITH fundraiserBY MATT PHELPS

It is said that Memorial Day marks the uno� cial start to summer. For some, the Evergreen-Health 7 Hills of Kirkland cycling event marks the beginning of summer ath-letic events in the Puget Sound area.

“It is a good way to kick your butt into gear if you’re behind on training,”

said Lucas Donigan of Se-attle, who has participated in the 7 Hills event each of the last three years. “It is a good way to kick o� the summer cycling season but I have never done it on a sunny day.”

And while the morn-ing hours on Monday were overcast and gloomy, most of the 939 riders saw sunny skies by the end of the day.

“It was disappointing

because we were about 300 riders lower than we were expecting,” KITH Executive Director Jen-nifer Barron said. “It was supposed to rain but it turned out to be one of the best days of the weekend.”

� e 15th anniversary brought good news for event organizers, as Ever-greenHealth signed on to be the title sponsor for the next � ve years according

to event coordinator Bill Fores. Proceeds raised by the event go to help non-pro� t Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing or KITH, which helps those who are homeless and families who are at-risk. � is year’s event raised $83,830.

Police and Courts begin move into new Kirkland Justice CenterBY TJ MARTINELL

The grand opening of the Kirkland Pub-lic Safety Building

(KPSB) this Saturday will present the Kirkland Police Department (KPD) with a situation it hasn’t faced in a long time; more space than they need.

Also known as the Kirk-land Justice Center, Kirkland

residents are invited to tour the building at 11750 NE 118th St. in the Totem Lake Neighborhood on Saturday from 1-4 p.m. � e KPSB will house both the police department and the munici-pal court, which is currently located across the street. � e transition to the KPSB is seen by both City Hall and KPD o� cials as a necessary move that re� ects the large population growth Kirkland

underwent in recent years due to annexation.

KPD Cpt. Mike Ursino said space became a major issue a� er the city annexed Finn Hill, North Juanita and Kingsgate in 2011, which added 30,000 more residents to the city. As a result, the department hired roughly 40 more o� cers and support sta� , adding more person-nel to its 15,000 square feet of space in City Hall. With

the KPSB, they have 82,000 square feet out of the build-ing’s 102,000, which gives them extra room if the need arises for expansion at a future date.

Although Ursino de-scribed himself as a “baby” on the project, as it started under a di� erent captain, he said he spent every day at the site during the remodeling process.

“Translating from paper to real can be hard,” he said. “I

Ming’s Zen Gallery’s move to Totem Lake Malls in Kirkland marks what its owners hope is the � nal destination for their import business, which has been transported as o� en as the antiques they sell.

Although technically open, the gallery plans to have a grand opening on June 20. In the meantime, owner Jim Russell said they have opened their doors to anyone curious to see what they have to o� er.

� e gallery has moved three times in as many years and was recently forced to move out of Bellevue. � e build-ing on Main Street was set to be demolished to make way for condominiums and apartments. Eleven other businesses were forced to move out as well.

� e gallery o� ers im-ported art, furniture and antiquities from Far East countries such as China, Ja-pan and Taiwan. � e items include modern Buddha

statues to one-hundred-year-old Mongolian cabi-nets and Korean wedding carriages.

� e gallery also o� ers a special opportunity for ei-ther Chinese immigrants or Chinese Americans to pur-chase items not available in their homeland. During the Cultural Revolution of the 1970s, there was a massive e� ort by the government to remove all trace of capital-ist, traditional and cultural in� uences. As a result, the military con� scated art, rel-ics and historical artifacts.

A� er a long time build-ing diplomatic relations with the Chinese govern-ment, Russell said they have given access to purchase these items, which have been stored for years in

warehouses, which are also acquired by pri-vate auctioneers in China. Russell said the pre-Cultural

Revolution art is popular among Asian

dealers, as well as Chinese businessmen who receive authorization to import the items back to China.

Although customers can also � nd such artifacts on auction sites like eBay, Russell said he constantly checks the current bid and ensures that he o� ers it for a much lower price. For

[ KITH from page 1] partner,” Barron said. “We have some hardy riders who come out year in and year out for KITH.”

There were also many first-time participants like Mike and Minerva Butler of Redmond, who had never heard of the Kirkland event.

“We are big supporters of Evergreen, so we wanted to show our support,” said Minerva. “We heard about it through Evergreen.”

The couple rides between 100-120 miles a week. The Butlers normally ride on the flat terrain around Lake Sammamish, so the 7 Hills

course - approximately 40 miles of peaks and valleys through Kirkland, Ken-more, Woodinville and Redmond - was a good challenge.

“It is an awful lot of hills,” Minerva said. “But it is a cool way to see Kirkland.”

Fores said there were some changes to the course this year, as a rest stop at EvergreenHealth was added and a course change on Education Hill.

“There were some safety issues so we rerouted riders around a spot where we have had some riders crash,” said Fores.

Cyclists from as far away as Minnesota came to Kirkland for the event. The traditional 7 Hills of Kirkland route starts at Marina Park in downtown Kirkland, travels north on Market Street, up Finn Hill along Northeast Juanita Drive, down through Holmes Point, north to Kenmore along Northeast Juanita Drive, back south through the North Juanita Neighborhood of Kirk-land, through Kingsgate, over Evergreen Hill, down through Woodinville, south through Redmond and back into Kirkland over Rose Hill, south to the Kirkland boundary with Bellevue and back to Marina Park on Lake Washington Boule-vard.

Gallery owner Jim Russell catalogs a new piece his business received from China. TJ MARTINELL, Kirkland Reporter

[ ART from page 1] example, one auction site o� ers a polychrome wood � gure of Guanyin, the Buddhist goddess of mer-cy, for $1.3 million. Russell sells the same statue, albeit from a di� erent period, for $48,000.

In addition to China, Russell said they take trips to Japan and Taiwan four to � ve times a year, where they visit the countryside and cities and handpick each item they decide to take back and sell in America.

Russell, who owns the gallery with his wife, Do-reen, said he � rst got into the import business a� er a trip to Korea with a friend from school in Los Ange-les. Although the country was still in ruins due to the Korean War in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he said he fell in love with the people and culture. He also bought a few items and brought them home. He soon found himself traveling to other Far East countries, buying items, and then selling them back in America where he discovered there was a demand for it.

For Russell, the gallery also o� ers a rich history of the items in question to their customers, who he said tend to be well edu-cated and well-traveled. All their items one-hun-dred-years-old or more are regarded as antiquities and are fully documented and certi� ed. He said he has 2,000 catalog books for all the antiques in their inventory.

“I sometimes think half of what we sell is educa-tion,” he said. “� e other half is the item.”

Cindy Curren, one of the managers at the gal-lery, said the decor they o� er complements the cultural tastes of people not only in Seattle but on

the Eastside. “I think it has strong ap-

peal in this area,” she said. “It mixes well. It’s almost part of the Paci� c North-west.”

Before moving to Kirk-land, the gallery had oper-ated out of Union Station in Seattle’s International District, where Jim Russell � rst opened the business in 1966. � ey later moved to Issaquah before settling in Bellevue.

When they discovered they had to move out of the building on Bellevue’s historic Main Street, Rus-sell said they had di� culty � nding an appropriate

location that would pro-vide the space they needed at the right price. Because the majority of his patrons come from Bellevue, Kirk-land and Seattle, he was eager to keep the gallery in the area where it could be easily accessed. A� er look-ing in areas throughout the Eastside, Russell dis-covered Totem Lake Malls, which had a 21,000 square foot space available.

“In 48 years, we’ve been up and down like a yo-yo,” he said. “You just have to say you’re going to make it work and do what you have to do to make it hap-pen.”

Not going to surrender values to homosexual community

I expected a squeal from someone in the ho-mosexual community in response to my April 17 letter. I did not expect that it would be a personal attack. Mr. Nelson’s letter is a good example of what they do whenever they perceive a slight. � ey throw slime at everybody and everything, and invoke arguments of religious and political bias even though my letter did not mention those subjects.

Mr. Nelson challenged my knowledge of the Constitution not aware that I have a background in that discipline. He mistakenly assumed that I referred only to national TV programs, but my observations also include local news, Seattle political � gures, and Republican o� cials. He believes that the Reporter should cover just Kirkland news, but he apparently never reads the entire paper. Two examples: the editorial just above his letter discusses regional water issues; and an article on page 19 is about elderly living in New York and Japan.

Mr. Nelson should understand that there are many straight people in Kirkland and elsewhere who are not going to surrender our values to coercion by the homosexual community. Finally, I must observe that the most obnoxious part

of his letter is his arrogance in threatening the Reporter if it does not publish what he wants. I hope he follows through with his threat to take it to the publisher. I also hope the publisher tells him to stu� it.Luisa Franklin-Bell, Kirkland

Potala Village trash problem remains unresolved

Footage in the May 23 KIRO news broadcast has our city claiming that “leaders” resolved the trash problem with Potala Village. Yet this is simply untrue. Who are they kidding?

Immediately following an email from city sta� , the citizens asked for the drawing of the new proposal.

Yes, one small portion of the issue is resolved. Waste Management trucks will be pulling into the Potala Village driveway and picking up trash from a location that is pushed back from the sidewalk a bit.

What is still wrong:1. Numerous trash and recycle containers ap-

pear to still be in the Shoreline Jurisdiction area and still appear that they will be visible from the scenic walkway. � ey don’t appear to be meeting zoning code requirements about shielding in a way that they cannot be seen.

2. � e trash and recycle containers are expected to be visible four to � ve days a week.

� en it is up to neighbors to complain if trash is le� out too long. We cannot � nd any penalty for trash le� out too long. Maybe there is one, not sure. No provisions exist for trash if the develop-er decides to not have a management company who facilitates trash-bin transport back to the garage area.

3. Bye, bye more courtyard common open space. � e new location seems to be in some of the area that was supposed to be a welcoming courtyard to address the focus of BN zoning on providing neighborhood service businesses and community gathering spaces. So, I guess we now all crowd around the trash receptacles. Nice! Anyone got a bottle of cheap wine and some marshmallows to roast over the trashcan � re? Now I call that a community gathering � t for trash cans put into the courtyard!

Why is this happening? Why doesn’t the de-veloper provide for both a trash area out of sight and places for loading and unloading of other commercial deliveries and moving vans?

Did anyone notice that this building is bigger than the one that went through the EIS process to ful� ll SEPA? Where is the supplemental EIS? � is is a lot larger and consequently does not have appropriate places for trash and service vehicles.

� ese negative impacts did not go through the EIS process or SEPA. Heads up city o� cials! Karen Levenson, Kirkland

● 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 the biggest reasons I enjoy being the editor of the Kirkland Reporter is our active opinion page. Kirkland residents

care about their community, have strong beliefs and are not afraid to express them. I believe in freedom of speech above all else and there are very few forums like a newspaper’s opinion page.

It is not like Facebook where all you read are your friends’ opinions and beliefs. A� er all, most surround themselves with people who have relatively the same views. Most people won’t discuss hot-button issues or political beliefs in a public forum like Facebook for fear of alienating their friends or family.

Twitter is a little more broad. You can communicate with more people and have your post re-tweeted to a wider swath of the public sphere. But Twitter is con� ning in its 140-charac-ter limit and, again, most of the time you are read-ing the views of people you follow. Most people do not seek out their political opposite.

In this day-and-age of free and abundant media, the echo chamber of cable news, blogs and talk radio blur the lines between opinion and unbiased journalism. It sensationalizes the news to make it entertaining, gain the largest follow-ing and make the most money. Attempting to report in an unbiased manner is not as lucrative. Most newspapers, the Kirkland Reporter included, attempt to keep opinions separate from news cov-erage. � e opinion page in the Reporter is clearly marked and so are columns. Both are the opinion of the writer and the writer alone.

Open and honest exchanges of ideas is what democracy is all about. � e media echo chamber is detrimental to the system. I strive to make sure the Reporter is not a part of that echo chamber. � e opinion page is for opinions and the rest of

the paper, with the exception of clearly marked columns, is for our attempt at unbiased news coverage.

During the past month some readers have criticized the Reporter for printing certain letters or guest editorials. � ey have even threatened the paper for some of the letters printed. � ey have accused the paper, and some have pointed the � nger directly at me, of printing some letters and opinions and not others. � is is simply not the case. Since I have been editor we have published every letter received and have been as open as possible to printing guest editorials from the community. We print every letter, column and editorial on our website. We also make every attempt to publish all letters in the print edition. Obviously, we have limited space in print. I have even taken the extra step to not print my editorial in favor of getting every possible letter into the print edition. I believe you would prefer to hear what your neighbors have to say. It also allows for a more diverse number of voices in our paper and

includes more of the community in our discus-sions.

We print all opinions, ones we agree with and ones we do not. I � nd it laughable that some have accused me of taking a side I patently disagree with. It also tells me that I am doing something right. If I have a strong opinion on a topic I will let you know in an editorial, such as this one. � e views expressed on the opinion page are those of the writer only. � e editorial page is for you to express whatever you want (within 350 words in print), as long as it is not libelous and you sign your � rst and last name. If you don’t agree with a letter, write a rebuttal. All content has to have something to do with Kirkland or be written by a Kirkland resident.

We want all viewpoints expressed in our paper, not just the popular ones or from one side or the other. We believe in free speech above all else.

� e building includes a jail of 55 beds for misde-meanors, eliminating the need to transport suspects to the King County Jail. � e building also has a lead-free, 10-bay � ring range that enables o� cers to practice shooting from vehicles. Un-til now, o� cers have had to drive to other � ring ranges in order to get certi� ed. Ac-cording to city documents, from 2010 to 2012, KPD spent a total of $46,279 in � ring range rental fees. � e � ring range cost $1.3 mil-lion and required additional funding from surplus sales tax revenue.

� e KPSB also includes a weight room, a maintenance facility for police vehicles and a room to hold all 30,000 pieces of evidence the KPD currently has, which will be stored on an old Costco rack-ing system.

� e other 18,000 square feet of the building contains two large courts and one smaller court. Overall, the layout of the building is designed so that suspects can be processed and detained in two-hour holding cells, held

in a jail cell for misdemean-ors, interrogated and brought to court under the same roof.

� e building was formerly a Costco Home store, then later a My Home Wholesale. When the lease ended, the city purchased it from the owners and began remodel-ing it last year.

� e total bill for the city is estimated to be $41 million.

Ursino said it would have cost more if the city had opted instead to build a new building from scratch.

“We were economically responsible without sacri� c-ing use,” he said.

� e building also includes a multi-purpose room that is designed for community members and organizations to use. Ursino said he hopes residents touring the building will be satis� ed with how their tax dollars were spent.

“I want them (residents) to see a class building, state of the art, yet without being elaborate,” he said. “We did an awesome job. We were conscious of the money we were spending.”

� e police department plans to begin moving equipment and sta� over to the building in June. If all goes as planned, Ursino said, everything will be moved by

August or late fall.In advance of the grand

opening, the city will bring in a restored 1948 Ford police car they found in San Diego, purchased through dona-tions. � e Ford is similar to the one used by the KPD during the same time period.

Triplett said the transition will allow the city to consoli-date several departments into City Hall and sell the vacant building.

Police Blotter

The city of Kirk-land is set to bid $13,500 on a

9/11 memorial bronze sculpture that could possibly be located in Juanita Beach Park. Before anything is set in stone, however, the City Council is looking for community feedback.

During its May 22 meeting, the Council voted unanimously to approve a bid for the Spirit of America 9/11 Memorial Sculpture. The Kirkland Cultural Arts Commission first considered the idea in April after being informed by a resident, and they eventually recommended it to the Parks Board. Several

members of the KCAC, however, questioned whether Kirkland was the appropriate loca-tion for the sculpture, as the 9/11 attacks oc-curred in New York. At their May 14 meeting, the Parks Board voted unanimously to recom-mend it to the City

Council.Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett said that the coun-cil voted to

authorize the bid because of

the imminent dead-line in order to keep the option open. Addi-tionally, because it is a competition there is no guarantee at this point Kirkland will actually buy the sculpture. But at the same time, they want an opportunity for residents to express their sentiments on the

idea before making a final decision.

Triplett said the sculpture was originally intended to be at Heri-tage Park, but it was later decided it was not the most appropriate place for it, as it would create a somber mood where events such as weddings are held. Also, Heritage Park is designed to be more naturalistic.

The sculpture was created using debris from the World Trade Center and the Penta-gon. It has four people, a firefighter, a soldier, a female office worker and a flight attendant holding hands around a piece of steel taken from the 60th floor of the World Trade Center and a piece of limestone from the fifth floor of the Pentagon.

The sculpture will be awarded based on a competitive process that requires submit-ted proposals by cities in Washington. Only one city will receive a sculpture.

Dr. Jack Neal, a prominent Kirkland oral and maxillofa-

cial surgeon who died away on April 15, will be honored with a new endowment at the University of Washing-ton School of Dentistry, the school has announced.

� e Delta Dental Jack E. Neal Endowed Fund for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery will be launched with a $50,000 gi� from Delta Dental of Washington, on whose board of direc-tors Dr. Neal served for eight years. � e endow-ment will provide � nancial support for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students studying in the school’s Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

program.“Our school greatly

appreciates Delta Dental’s generous support of one of our key programs,” said School of Dentistry Dean Dr. Joel Berg. “It’s a very � tting and meaningful way to honor the memory of an outstanding dentist who was thoroughly dedicated to serving the community.”

Neal, who practiced in Seattle and Kirkland for 40 years, served terms as presi-dent of both the Washing-ton State Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the Western Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to have served with Jack on the

Delta Dental of Washington Board of Directors,” said Jo-anna Lohkamp, chair of the board. “Jack brought to the board a warm and gener-ous nature that contributed to better decision-making across stakeholders. With this gi� we’re pleased to celebrate and recognize Jack’s distinguished service to his profession and to our company.”

Neal was active in the Seattle King County Dental Society and the Washing-ton State Dental Associa-tion, and served on several boards including the Wash-ington Physicians Health Program and the Physicians and Dentists Credit Bureau.

In addition, he provided

charitable care for patients through the Washington State Dental Association Access Program and the Donated Dental Services Program. He also played an instrumental role on the Delta Dental board in help-ing provide dental care to more than 800 underserved children throughout King County.

A� er graduating from Furman University in South Carolina, Neal received his DDS from the University of Maryland School of Den-tistry. He then served in the U.S. Army Dental Corps in Frankfurt, Germany.

A� er his military service, Neal entered the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

residency program at the University of Iowa, where he pursued clinical and lab-oratory research on bone gra� ing and reconstruction and received a masters of science degree. In 1973, he moved to Seattle and began private practice in Kirkland. He was certi� ed by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 1976.

“� e Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is grateful to Delta Dental for its leadership in support-ing OMS education, and to Dr. Neal for his outstand-ing contributions to the profession,” said Dr. � omas Dodson, chair of the de-partment. “� e vitality of

our educational activities ensures that UW will be the program of choice for top candidates.”

LWIT receives energy e� ciency grants

Lake Washington Insti-tute of Technology has part-nered with energy and facil-ity services � rm McKinstry to secure nearly $300,000 in grant money through the Washington State Energy E� ciency Grant Program. � e program, administered by the Washington State De-partment of Commerce, al-lows institutions such as the college to perform facility upgrades that help reduce energy usage on its campus. Puget Sound Energy also awarded the college a $32,414 utility grant to aid the college in its investment in campus energy e� ciency projects.

“McKinstry worked with us throughout the applica-tion process to ensure we presented a strong case to the Department of Com-merce,” said Tim Wheeler, director of facilities and operations at the college. “We have been looking at this project for a few years to help us achieve our energy and carbon emissions re-

duction plan for the campus and will now be able to move forward with it thanks to these grants.”

Facility upgrades funded by the grants include the following:

• Exterior campus lighting upgrades to LED lighting

• Campus electric sub metering per building

• Campus control system commissioning

� e college is expected to see $22,240 in annual energy savings from these facility improvements, and will save an estimated $1,799 in annual operation-al and maintenance costs. � ese energy improvement measures will reduce carbon emissions by 321,270 pounds a year, which is the equivalent of removing 28 cars from the roads or plant-ing 40 acres of trees. � is project will help create or maintain seven local jobs.

Approved by the Wash-ington State Legislature, the Washington State Energy E� ciency Grant Program allocated $32 million to competitive grant programs to fund energy and opera-tional cost saving improve-ments in public buildings across the state.

Since 2009, McKinstry has helped its clients secure over $94 million in state

grant funding. � ose grants have been leveraged into more than $200 million in project work. In addi-tion to enhancing facilities, projects also stimulate the local economy by employ-ing local consultants and contractors.

Metro cuts will impact Safe Place program

Local leaders of agencies committed to preventing and ending youth homeless-ness, including Kirkland-based Friends of Youth, are concerned that cuts to Metro routes will not only impair the ability of youth to access transportation but will also impact a regional community safety net for youth in crisis, Safe Place.

Safe Place in King County was launched in August 2011 in partnership with Metro Transit. Every Metro bus is a Safe Place site where youth ages 12-17 can ask for help. In the two years since the network launched, many youth in crisis have found a connection to safety on a Metro bus.

“� e concept of Safe Place is simple. When a youth in trouble sees the Safe Place logo, they know they have found a place

where they can ask for help and get it immediately. A trained sta� member from one of our three agencies, Auburn Youth Resources, Friends of Youth or Youth-Care, respond to every call and within 45 minutes one of our counselors will meet the young person, assess his or her needs, helping the youth get to shelter, return home or � nd an alterna-tive safe placement that very same day” said Terry Pottmeyer, CEO of Friends of Youth.

Metro buses, each one a Safe Place site, have proven to be a very e� ective way to extend the front doors of youth shelters and counsel-ing services throughout the county. And, although Metro is one of many Safe Place sites, it is unique in not only its regional reach, but its availability to youth during the evening and overnight hours when many other Safe Place sites, like our local libraries, are closed.

“Two and a half years a� er its launch, King County Safe Place is one of the busiest networks in the nation,” said Melinda Gio-vengo, Executive Director of YouthCare in Seattle. “� is partnership has been a great way to reach out and help youth because of the unique

way it connects and coordi-nates existing resources, like Metro buses, providing a 24 hour regional response to the issues facing our young people.”

� e proposed 16 percent reduction in bus service county-wide, including elimination of many routes serving suburban and rural areas, as well as reductions in o� -peak hours, would mean fewer opportuni-ties to connect to safety for homeless and runaway youth. Data from the King County Safe Place network show that most youth who have accessed Safe Place through a Metro bus did so outside of peak hours. Metro de� nes peak as 6-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. Only one pickup occurred during peak hours; most occurred between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m.

“We are concerned that with fewer buses on the roads, and reductions to Metro service to rural and suburban communi-ties, youth in crisis will lose a critical piece of the existing safety net,” said Jim Blanchard, executive director of Auburn Youth Resources, an agency pro-viding service to youth in South King County. “Even losing one youth to the streets or a predator because timely help was unavailable

when needed, is one too many.”

In addition to Safe Place, all three agencies participate in Metro’s discounted fare program, buying discounted bus tickets each year to help homeless and at-risk youth get to school, work, shelter, housing, and other appoint-ments safely and e� ciently. Transit is an essential link to education and the support services that help homeless young people need to move beyond the streets and prepare for life.

Speaking for the group, Pottmeyer hopes that the cities, county and rural communities of King County will continue to work together to avoid cuts to Metro bus service.

“Maintaining bus service throughout the county is a good thing not only for commuters, but a critical lifeline for the youth we serve,” Pottmeyer said.

� e King County Safe Place is made possible through funding provided by United Way of King County. Safe Place is part of a national network of more than 20,000 partnering businesses and community locations that display the yellow diamond Safe Place sign, a safety net for youth in crisis who have nowhere else to turn.

Second graders from Lakeview Elementary have had the opportunity to play reporter as part of their social studies class.

Luke Johnson, a second grade social studies teacher at Lakeview Elementary, has been taking his students to Merrill Gardens, a senior living center, to spend time with the residents and get to know those from a di� erent generation. � ey � rst visited

in January and have made a total of four visits. Johnson said they hope to visit again in June. In addition to playing games with the residents, the students also interview the residents, asking them questions about their life and experiences they’ve had.

Johnson said it’s a way to get social studies out of the classroom and into the real world, where students have the chance to interact with people outside of their age group.

“It’s really been a posi-

tive experience for both age groups,” he said. “A lot of their grandparents don’t live nearby. � ey (residents) have rich experience and love the kids coming and spending time with them. It’s been great.”

In preparation for the visits, the students think of various questions to ask, such as jobs they’ve worked, lan-guages they speak and child-hood memories. A� er the interviews, the students then write up a short biography of the person.

Kirklander is national finalist in art competition

A Lake Washington High School student was voted one of the five national finalists of Google’s seventh annual Doodle 4 Google competition, a contest open to K-12 students across the

United States to redesign the Google logo inspired by the theme “If I could invent one thing to make the world a better place...”

Renaise Kim, 15, became Washington state winner in the competition and her doodle, “Brighter World through Binoculars” was voted by the public to become the national finalist for the entire grade 8-9 age group in the 2014 Doodle 4 Google competition.

Renaise’s doodle was chosen as one of the top five

from more than 100,000 entries received this year. After the announcement of 50 state winners at the end of April, millions of people across the U.S. voted for their favorites.

Google hosted all 50 state winners at its headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. on May 21 for a day of art and technology workshops, fun activities — and the an-nouncement of the finalists and the national winner.

For her achievement, Renaise will take home a

$5,000 scholarship she’ll be able to use for college, as well as an Android tablet.

Local gyms having locker thefts

During the past few weeks there has been a spike in locker thefts from gyms across the Eastside. Recent-ly, Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirk-land and Redmond have all seen similar incidents.

Thieves are getting into lockers by shimmying or prying padlocks or com-

bination locks and sifting through personal items to take cash. The lock is often placed back on the locker afterward. Some people don’t even realize they’ve been victimized right away as their phones, wallets and other items are still present.

Several different gym franchises have reported thefts, and gyms are work-ing closely with police in multiple jurisdictions to try to identify suspects. It appears there are multiple groups of suspects work-

ing across the eastside. Issaquah, Kirkland and Redmond Police currently have open, active investiga-tions and all agencies are conducting area patrols as able.

Police and gyms are asking customers to do the following:

Don’t bring valuables to the gym or leave them in your car; leave them at home if possible.

Report all suspicious activity to staff or by calling 911 – or both.

Tori Bivens has given the Lake Washington High School girls

fastpitch so� ball team some dominating performances this year. But if the caliber of talent faced determines the greatest of performance, Bivens threw her best game of the year Saturday, beat-ing Sultan 2-1, as the Kangs won the 2A District title in Sedro-Wooley.

“I wasn’t surprised,” said Lake Washington head coach Traci Tawney about her team’s title. “I was pleased we won but we’re not done yet.”

� e Kangs will take the No. 1 seed to the 2A State Tournament next weekend.

But Lake Washington has had to overcome some issues on and o� the � eld. � e biggest one was losing the team’s best pitcher and hitter. Maddie Brown, who has hit .600 for the team this season and was the No. 1 starter, broke her hand just before the playo� s ramped up.

“It was pretty clear the the full load was falling on [Bivens],” said Tawney. “I told her ‘get ready.’”

And Bivens has answered the call.

� e freshmen ba� ed Sul-tan hitters for the complete-game victory during the district title game, striking out 11 batters, walking just one and scattering two hits.

Lake Washington scored its � rst run of the game during the top of the fourth and added a second run during the sixth inning. Sultan scored its lone run during the sixth inning.

Julia Turner collected both RBI for the Kangs, � nishing 2-for-3 at the plate with a home run, while Hannah Walker was 1-for-3 with a run scored.

One player who stepped in to help in Brown’s ab-sence is � rst baseman Kim Veldee.

“She showed up to practice the next day and said she would pitch,” said Tawney.

Veldee, who had given up pitching to focus on � rst base for the team, threw

� ve innings during the district tournament, allow-ing Tawney some � exibility with her freshman starter.

� e team ran into more challenges during the district tournament as their bus failed to show up to drive them to Sedro-Wool-ey on the � rst day of play.

“It was a little bit of a frazzle but we had an issue like that during the preseason,” said Tawney. “� is team does a good job of focusing on what is important.”

� at focus will help the Kangs during the state tour-nament.

“Last year we made it to districts with a very young team and we were pretty much shell-shocked,” said Taney. “Everyone has stepped up this year.”

Taney is not worried about her young team deal-ing nerves at state.

“If you don’t have nerves you should � nd something else to do,” said Tawney. “� e goal is to redirect those nerves.”

Tawney said that Bivens, who started pitching when

she was 8 years old, was nervous heading into the district tournament but dealt with it and pitched well. � at experience will help in Lacey. Bivens has pitched well this season, go-ing 5-0 in league play. She will get the call for the � rst

game at state.“She grew early and is tall

for her age,” said Tawney, who added that Bivens’ father pitched for Arizona State University. “She has been around the game and has had knowledge of the game for a long time. She

has the ability to absorb that great amount of knowl-edge and use it.”

Lake Washington takes its 18-1 overall record to the state tournament a� er winning the 2A/3A KingCo title this season with a 13-1 record in league play.

Rebels softball quali� es for state tourney

� e Juanita High School girls fastpitch so� ball team drew Columbia River dur-ing � rst round of the state tournament, according to brackets released early Tuesday morning by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

� e state tournament game will be played at noon on Friday on � eld No. 1 at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey.

� e Rebels quali� ed for the state tournament May 22 when they defeated Holy Names, 4-1, during the Sea-King District tourna-ment. Juanita waged a small comeback against the Cougars, falling behind 1-0 during the second inning. � e Rebels scored two runs

during both the � � h and sixth innings.

Madi Hedlund, Morgan Figueroa and Kristina Warford all picked up RBI for Juanita during the game and Hedlund � nished 3-for-4 at the plate. As a team, the Rebels collected 11 hits.

Milly Kawabata threw a complete game from the pitching circle for the vic-tory, giving up seven hits.

� e Rebels lost to Mount Si during its next district tournament game, 13-3, in � ve innings.

Juanita took an early 2-0 lead with runs during the second and third innings, but the Wildcats hammered the ball during the fourth and � � h innings for all 13 of their runs. Hedlund, Kawabata and Aimee Richardson each had an RBI during the contest for the Rebels.

� e Lake Washington High School baseball team advanced to the semi� nals of the state tournament with unprec-edented back-to-back mercy-rule victories on Saturday at Cedarcrest High School.

“It is pretty remarkable,” said Kangs head coach Derek Bingham. “It really helps when you get pitch-ing like we have had. But this was a complete team e� ort.”

� e Kangs pounded North Kitsap 13-3 during the � rst round of state and then shutout Archbishop Murphy 10-0 during the quarter� nals.

Lake Washington will take on Tumwater at 1

p.m. on Friday at County Stadium in Yakima.

Against North Kitsap, the Kangs drew a modest 1-0 lead on an RBI double o� the bat of Jordan La-Fave during the bottom of the � rst inning.

“He has been a great hitter for us all year long,” said Bingham.

But it was the third inning that essentially ended the game, as Lake Washington batted around for 12 runs. � e biggest blow come from LaFave with a three-RBI double. Connor Johnson, LaFave, John Lyon and Kevin Nakahara all col-lected multiple hits during the contest. Nakahara and Lyon � nished with three RBI each, Josh Wikel had two RBI and Jake Steele

had an RBI.“Kevin has really come

into his own lately,” said Bingham of Nakahara who has 10 hits during the post season. “He is a � rst-year starter and he has been a big time con-tributor down the stretch.”

Lyon earned the win with three innings pitched, allowing just two hits. � e game was stopped a� er the top of the � � h inning for the 10-run mercy rule.

� e Kangs kept rolling against Archbishop Mur-phy, scoring nine runs during the top of the sixth inning.

Lake Washington didn’t need much more than the RBI single from LaFave during the � rst inning, as starting pitcher Connor

Johnson threw a complete game two-hitter. Johnson � nished with two strike-outs and a walk.

For the second game in a row the Kangs batted around during a single inning, ending the game during the bottom of the sixth inning. Nakahara had two two-RBI singles during the inning, while LaFave, Johnson, Steele, Jared Menssen and Ryan Horita all collected an RBI each.

� e two blowouts don’t change the fact that the Kangs still have two games to play.

“Psychologically it gives us a little more con� dence but if you have made it to this point all the teams have con� dence in their abilities,” said Bingham.

King County residents outside the city of Seattle who are interested in public service and with knowledge of and inter-est in the areas of arts,

heritage, preservation or public art are invited to apply for one of five positions on the 4Cul-ture Board of Directors beginning January 2015. If

selected and confirmed by the King County Council, Board members serve a maximum of two three-year terms.

4Culture, the cultural services agency for King County, Washington is committed to making our region stronger by supporting citizens and groups who preserve our shared heritage, and cre-ate arts and cultural op-portunities for residents and visitors.

4Culture is a tax-ex-empt public development authority (PDA), with a fifteen member Board of Directors, who are

nominated by the King County Executive and confirmed by the King County Council. A Public Development Authority is a public entity created by cities or counties to pro-vide public services with the agility and flexibility of the private sector; to provide services more efficiently than an agency of government; and ad-minister federal and state funds.

The Board of Directors governs 4Culture, with individuals represent-ing the broad cultural, geographic and ethnic diversity of King County,

as well as backgrounds in arts, heritage, historic preservation, and public art, finance, tourism, education, real estate and government relations. 4Culture Board mem-bers bring an impressive wealth of experience and knowledge to their roles and are primarily responsible for: organiza-tional financial oversight; securing and maintaining resources from all levels of government; advocacy, especially regarding re-source development; set-ting policy relevant to the organization as a whole; and serving as the public face of 4Culture.

4Culture’s Board also looks at timely issues that could impact 4Culture or the cultural field, and coordinates and leads

responses. The Board’s fiduciary role includes its approval of the annual budget and work plans for the organization as a whole and budgeting in the four program areas. It also provides official approval of all grant recommendations, which are forwarded from the three Advisory Commit-tees that oversee funding programs. Standing Board Committees are Execu-tive, Finance, and Gover-nance.

Board members must live in King County and be able to commit to attending nine board meetings a year and to serving on one standing Board committee or ad hoc committee established to address a particular organizational issue. If confirmed by the County Council, Board members serve without pay. Resi-dents from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including people with disabilities, are encouraged to apply.

To learn more about 4Culture and its pro-grams, visit 4Culture.org.

Submit a resume and letter of interest to Melissa Newbill at 101 Prefon-taine Place South, Seattle, WA 98104 or by email.

For questions please email or telephone Melis-sa Newbill 206 296-4816.

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.

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.
