A� er two years of fundraising e� orts, the Fraternal Order

of Eagles have raised $9,000

to restore their 66-year-old sign.

� is Saturday, the mem-ber-only club will open their doors to the community to celebrate the work that went into selling ra� e tickets,

hosting donation functions, making gi� baskets, and the time it took to revitalize the “F.O.E.” sign located in downtown Kirkland.

“� e Eagles have been wanting it done for the

last 10 years,” said former Eagles President Cindy Stirk, adding the Eagles’ Ladies Auxiliary was a huge help in the fundraising process. “� at was my goal as presi-dent for the last two years. I want the city of Kirkland and the Kirkland Downtown As-sociation to be proud of our building.”

� e Kirkland Eagles started the club that values “liberty, truth, justice and equality” in 1947 at a club-house in Stewart Heights near the old shipyard where Northwest University is now located. � e club brie� y moved to Marina Park be-fore � nalizing its location at 258 Central Way in Kirkland.

� e Fraternal Order of Eagles is a 115-year-old international nonpro� t or-ganization designed to help others in the community by raising money for local

charities and causes.� e club has been in

Kirkland so long that the overhanging neon sign was grandfathered into the city of Kirkland’s code. If they took the sign down for a replace-ment, they would not be able to put it back up, Stirk said.

Finding businesses who would be willing to replace it while it still hung was tough and quotes were high. � at is, until she met “Gonzo.”

She said the club was lucky when Scott “Gonzo” Gates, an industrial design consultant, happened to be at a pig roast last year during the 65th anniversary of the Kirkland Eagle’s charter.

Gates, a longtime Kirk-land resident, said he had driven past the sign for 20 years before � nally � guring out what the sign with one neon-lit “E” was for.

� e hand painted eagle was faded and most of the neon work had been ruined by more than 50 years of the weather’s elements.

He joined the club, and the rest is history.

“I’ve driven past the sign coming down 85th Street in our community for more than 20 years,” Gates said, who always thought the Eagles club was a Veterans of Foreign Wars organization. “Cherishing nostalgic things as I do, I always thought how wonderful it might be to have one of the last great old signs in Kirkland and greater Seattle area restored.”

Gates and his friend David VanArsdale, a glass artist, worked on the sign’s restoration for days as they diligently maneuvered the cherry picker.

Gates said the sign couldn’t have been restored without help from Indus-

try Sign and Graphics in Auburn.

“� is sign represents a catalyst of new light for this club. It had a lot of resistance from the older members,” said Gates, who added the attitude has since changed. “� e Eagles have survived, evolved over time. We’ve stuck together and this sign is a symbol of our unity and our community.”

Stirk and Gates said the restoration is a symbol for what the club has been going through internally. Stirk, who inducted a new president Rochelle Haberl on � ursday, said it is important the Eagles “groom the new generation or the Eagles will die.”

As the � rst woman presi-dent of the Kirkland Eagles, she is con� dent Haberl will be a good leader as she takes over swearing in new mem-bers in the “double-digits” – the most in the Puget Sound area.

“A� er two years of serving on the Board of Trustees at FOE, I’m honored to be installed this very same week as the upcoming president for the year,” said Haberl. “We look forward to the continued growth in membership and encourage anyone interested in � nding out how to become involved … to please come and help us celebrate on Saturday.”

� e Eagles’ sign restora-tion event will be open to the public at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 8. At 5 p.m., they will serve two spit-roasted lambs with numerous side dishes, hamburgers and hot dogs. � e band Wickerman will begin at 8 p.m.

For more information, call the FOE No. 2681 at (425) 822-2681.

Longtime Eagles restore sign, rejuvenate spirit

At QFC, youth are an important part of our company. Our school-age courte-sy clerks help keep our checkstands run-ning smoothly and efficiently, make sure our floors and restrooms remain clean and inviting and, most importantly they develop friendly, helpful relationships with our customers. Many of the lead-ers in our stores and offices began their careers in the grocery business as cour-tesy clerks. The young people of today are the future leaders of tomorrow and that is why QFC is proud to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Washington as our charity of the month in June.

Every young person deserves an op-portunity to develop their potential to be a responsible, productive adult. Un-fortunately, many young people don’t get the support and encouragement they need in their home life. That’s where Boys & Girls Clubs can make a differ-ence. The mission of the clubs is to help

these young people to realize their full potential on the path to adulthood. The clubs provide youth from under 5 to 18 years of age a safe place to learn and grow, develop relationships with caring adult professionals, participate in life enhancing programs, and have character development experiences to gain hope and opportunity.

The clubs are open after school and during the summer for the children in the communities they serve. They of-fer a variety of programs in the areas of leadership, education and career, the arts, health and life skills, sports, fitness and recreation and other specialized programs. Clubs are community-based and building-centered and are staffed by trained, paid youth-development professionals. Studies have found that youth involved long-term in Boys & Girls Clubs stay in school more often and have better grades and fewer con-

tacts with law enforcement than peers in similar circumstances. Many alumni of the program have credited it with saving their lives, improving their self-confidence, graduating from high school and positively influencing their choices about drugs and alcohol.

Each year local clubs choose a mem-ber as their Youth of the Year. Those youth from across the state share their life changing experiences at an annual dinner and also serve as representatives for their clubs to the communities at large. Youth of the Year participants also receive college scholarships and the op-

portunity to compete for national hon-ors and scholarships.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Washing-ton consists of 19 independent member organizations, each with its own board of directors, funding and staffing. These organizations serve over 79,000 Club members in 147 community locations. QFC invites you to contribute to the this worthy organization that is making a difference in the lives of so many of our young people. You can make a donation at any checkstand. Thank you for your support.

A Kirkland small business, Overlake Oil Co., was recently

awarded a $1 million contract to supply the lubricants for “Bertha,” the world’s largest-diameter tunneling machine that will soon burrow the way for State Route 99.

As one of Shell Oil’s top 100 lubricant distributors in the nation, the company has already started working with contractor Seattle Tunnel Partners on the two-mile long tunnel, geared to replace the o� en-congested Alaskan Way Viaduct on Seattle’s waterfront.

According to the Wash-ington State Department of Transportation, SR 99 construction is expected to begin this summer.

“I’m most proud of the continuity of this family busi-ness over the last 66 years,”

said Overlake Oil owner Jim Jessen. “Tunnels are the fu-ture for a lot of urban areas.”

Operating since 1947, the 12-employee business is nes-tled in the Norkirk neighbor-hood with residential homes to the back of the building and the Cross Kirkland Cor-ridor just ahead.

Jessen said the � rm working on SR 99 expressed a desire to work with a local company that was interested in supporting the community but also cared about the long-term e� ects. Overlake Oil will provide bio-degradable and � re-resistant lubricants for Bertha.

“We have di� erent ways to deliver products in a more green, environmentally responsible way,” Jessen said, adding that the company uses oil bank technology to solve

the problems of too much waste, too many empty con-tainers, contamination and mobility problems, among others. “We’re recognizing green is the future. We want the same things customers want. We want to help them save money and we want to help them save the environ-

ment.”While major oil

companies have shrunk throughout the years, Jessen proudly exclaims they’ve found a way to still be rel-evant a� er so long.

When Jessen’s grandfather Harry W.

Wright started the com-pany - originally called Harre Wright Oil - it mainly dis-tributed bulk gasoline, diesel, furnace oil and lubricants to local businesses and residents on the Eastside. And the company grew a� er Harre Wright Oil won the Madison

Park ferry diesel business bid from the Kirkland City Council 10 years later.

� roughout the 1960s, under the name of Wright & Jessen, the company assisted in the construction of the Interstate 405 freeway and later served Genie Industries and provided lubricants for the construction of the Uni-versity Link, the light rail link between Husky Stadium and the Capitol Hill area.

In 1972, Jessen’s father Wayne Jessen took over the company, named it Overlake Oil and moved it to Eighth Street from the Houghton area.

“We’re sort of a secret in the community,” Jessen said. “� e location is secluded; you could live in Kirkland your whole life and not know us.”

Under his father’s owner-ship, one of the � rst key-lock fueling systems on the East-side was installed. Eventually,

Wayne retired and Jessen and his brother-in-law Steve Merrill bought the company in 1993. During that time, the petroleum distributor secured contracts with the four major oil re� neries in Washington: Exxon Mobil, Shell, Conoco-Phillips and Chevron.

Merrill recently retired this year a� er 29 years.

As a third-generation owner, Jessen said he and his family are fortunate to be in Kirkland because it’s a key location and just “over the lake” from Seattle. He said he can’t imagine the company being anywhere else.

“Not a day goes by that I’m not reminded that Kirkland is a great place to be in busi-ness,” Jessen said. “Raising kids in the community, and being able to be a part of it and see the people, it just doesn’t get any better than this.”

Fairfax Hospital to expand

� e recent groundbreak-ing at Fairfax Hospital symbolized the response by administrators of the behav-ioral health facility to the public outcry for additional

resources to identify and treat mental illness.

Community and civic leaders joined hospital of-� cials from Fairfax Hospital to turn over the � rst spades of dirt for the new wing slated to be built on the Kirkland cam-pus. � e additional 68 beds

will make Fairfax the largest private behavioral health hospital in Washington.

� e $20 million expansion will allow Fairfax to keep up with the demand for the full range of specialized care pro-vided by providers at the hos-pital. � e new wing at Fairfax

is expected to be ready to receive patients early next year. In addition to the extra beds, the completed structure will provide additional space for individualized treatment as well as group therapy.

Fairfax Hospital operates 24 hours a day and seven

days a week. Physicians and sta� are on 24-hour call to ensure continuous coverage that allows admissions to be made at any time.

In 1999 every city, every county, every state, every country around the world was planning their celebrations to welcome the new century.

Kirkland was no di� erent. Together with my husband, Kirkland Mayor at

the time, and several other community leaders, I sat down to create Kirkland’s event. We decided this was the right time to revive Kirkland’s 4th of July celebration that had been discontinued many years earlier. Many neighborhoods had some kind of parade or picnic of their own but there was nothing citywide. We wanted an event that would connect neighborhoods, businesses, churches, schools - the entire city really - in a way that made our commu-nity shine and reminded us all how lucky we were to call Kirkland home.

We started with a town hall meeting. � e turnout was great, con� rming the eagerness of Kirkland-ers to have a party! I made everyone close their eyes and “picture” a whole day of celebrations from decorating wagons and bikes for the kiddies’ parade, to watching magni� cent horses, clowns and bands in the big parade, to enjoying a community picnic in the park, then home for a nap, and � nally, the return to Marina Park and the “oo’s” and “ahh’s” that would accompany an amazing � reworks display in our own front yard.

It worked. Folks got excited, then they got busy.

For the next six months a small team of volunteers put together our � rst Celebrate Kirkland! 4th of July. When the day was over we were exhausted but realized we had started something important.

To stimulate creativity and excitement around the parade, my store, � e Grape Choice, decided to create two 8-by-12 foot American � ags made entirely of wine corks. I let my mailing list know we needed corks and so did the Seattle Times and the Reporter.

Over the next few weeks we were � ooded with corks from all over the Eastside and Seattle. We used more than 20,000 in the creation of the � ags and had enough le� over to make a mini Heritage Hall � oat in 2001. Houghton built their � oat, which would evolve over the years from a church to a school to a barge. We haven’t seen it for a few years. I think it might have landed as someone’s garden

shed. What is it that is so magical about the 4th of July?

It is our nation’s birthday, the annual celebration of our independence, and a reminder that comes at a cost, which is why we work so hard every year to honor the many veterans who grace our parade with their attendance.

It’s also a time to celebrate our country’s democ-racy. So, too many politicians? Admittedly, I may be a bit biased, but in fact, it’s part of what we are celebrating. It is the end of the school year and the beginning of summer and our children – thousands of them – gather to celebrate with their athletic teams, scout troops, church and school groups, or with their neighborhoods. It is a day like no other in Kirkland.

Over the course of 14 years the event hasn’t changed much. It certainly has grown but we have tried not to change the � avor. It is still organized by a small committee of volunteers who use the Kirkland Downtown Association as a � scal agent. � is allows donations to the event to be tax deductible. Funding for the day-long event is al-ways a challenge and this year is no di� erent. � ose sponsors that give year a� er year do so not out of a desire to get their name on posters but from deep commitment to their community.

Organizations like Lee Johnson Auto Family, our

parade sponsor, and other long-term supporters like Waste Management, Overlake Oil, � e Grape Choice, Honda of Kirkland, Ford and Hundai of Kirkland, Astronics, and Wave Broadband have been our lifeline. Unfortunately, we need more than life support to pull o� our event this year. We remain $25,000 short of our overall goal of $67,000, which could mean canceling the � reworks.

4th of July needs community boost to continue

Support background checks for gun purchases

Today I am inspired and hopeful. I support back-ground checks for all gun purchases. But national and regional politicians continue to not have the courage to vote for background checks, despite the fact that the vast majority of us want this.

I attended a fundraiser for Washington Alliance for Re-sponsible Guns. I sat among 1,200 people of all ages, color, religion and politics – the Alliance. Dynamic speakers shared the message: “It’s well past time for this legislation. If Congress doesn’t have it in them to make this country a

safer place, then we’ll do this one state at a time.”

An initiative movement has begun and we can and will be heard at the grassroots level.Susan Vossler, Kirkland

JHS mother looking for ‘big score’

I just read the article on Juanita High School security guard Je� Lewis’s dismissal. I � nd it incredible that Mrs. Mercete Gogo, a Tacoma resident, would have a daughter attending Juanita High School, in Kirkland. Her responses, as recorded in the article, appear to me to be someone who is looking for a “big score” and she is not above sacri� cing her daugh-

ter’s integrity to achieve it. I think the Lake Washington School District and Juanita High have been played.Charles Olson, Kirkland

Kirkland police o� cers do morally wrong things

I am so grateful to Ms. French for her recent letter concerning the trick “no right turn on red” signs by the Totem Lake Transit Center’s “Ticket Trap Corner.” She cared enough to respond to my letter, to express her views honestly and to graciously continue this very important conversation. I only wish more Kirkland citizens were as concerned as she is about

what is going on in our city.She is absolutely correct in

emphasizing the importance of tra� c safety and the fact that the tra� c lights at Ticket Trap Corner do serve a vital purpose. Unfortunately, the signs do not serve any purpose due to the fact that almost no one sees them.

She is also correct about buses leaving and arriving at that station every � ve minutes. � e trouble is that half of them are empty and the other half have only about three passengers. Some people don’t have cars or driver’s licenses for various physical or � nancial reasons. I know this because several of them are my friends and I frequently provide transpor-tation for them in my car. We do need to provide for

these citizens, but we need to do it intelligently. � e small number of people whom I have seen riding these buses during my many hours of observation on this corner during the past year could be transported much more e� ciently and economically in minivans or maybe even in taxis and at much less cost to the taxpayers.

In answer to her ques-tion about what time of day I was there - I am usually there three or more hours a week on di� erent days and di� erent times of the day just watching an average of 30 cars per hour, 40 dur-ing heavy tra� c hours, sail around that corner on the red light. � at’s one right turn on red every two minutes and

Applications are due by June 17 or until spots are filled. First come, first served.

Please contact Simplic-ity Decor or Simplicity ABC for an application and sign up for a date this summer to support a cause.

New laws give Eastside teens easier access to alcoholEvery two years

in local schools, students complete

the state Healthy Youth survey.

Youth report on aspects of their physical and

emotional well-being, which helps school and government officials and agencies like YES stay in tune with what’s happen-ing in their lives.

The 2012 survey re-

vealed trou-bling responses regarding alcohol use locally. Among Eastside 12th graders:

• 30 percent identified as heavy or prob-lem drinkers (defined in the survey as drinking three to six times per week).

• Nearly 41 percent reported drinking alcohol during the 30 days prior to taking the survey.

• One in four had been binge drinking the two weeks before.

As Washington’s communities transition from limited days and hours for sales to 24/7 access to hard spirits in an increased number of stores, parental vigilance becomes even more criti-cal — and complicated. Several new bills signed by the governor earlier this month expand access to alcohol even more.

Effective July 27, small movie theaters may sell beer, wine and spirits,

and businesses that sell hard liquor will be allowed to offer on-site samples. Wine and beer sampling will also be allowed at farmers’ mar-kets.

Of course, alcohol use among teens in our community is nothing new.

Group sessions at Youth Eastside Services remain filled with young people who talk about their struggles, and our drug and alcohol coun-selors see hundreds of individual clients each week.

Certain downsides of increased access are clear. Thefts have gone up significantly since hard liquor became available in grocery, drug and con-venience stores.

In the first seven months since the expan-sion of sales, the value of alcohol stolen was nine times greater than in the same period the year before.

This is reflected in what we’re hearing at YES.

According to Dwayne Evans, drug and alcohol

counselor at YES who as-sesses all new clients with substance issues, “Our clients are very forthcom-ing with us, and they admit to stealing alcohol when they can’t access it otherwise. Many have stolen liquor, more than beer, in the past year be-cause it’s easily available and gives a faster buzz.”

Easier access offers both a challenge and an opportunity for parents.

As I have previously mentioned in my column, communication using open-ended questions is a useful skill for any issue.

For example, you could share this article with your teen, then walk through a few scenarios, asking, “What would you do if …”:

• A beer gets passed down the row of your friends at a movie;

• At a party, your friend brags that she brought liquor “minis” that she shoplifted from the drug store;

• A farmer’s market vendor assumes you and your friends are over 21 and invites you to sample wine.

These “what if ” con-versations allow teens “cover,” since they are

responding to a hypo-thetical situation rather than being asked to incriminate a friend — or themselves. Listen closely, thank your child for shar-ing, and then reinforce your family’s boundaries and consequences for illegal consumption of alcohol.

I also urge every con-cerned citizen —parent or not — to report inap-propriate action.

If you suspect mi-nors are being served or are sneaking alcohol at a store, the movies or farmer’s market, let the manager know immedi-ately. Businesses want to follow the state’s new laws and can’t be everywhere in their establishment as we adjust to the new realities.

Patti Skelton-McGougan is the executive direc-tor of Youth Eastside Services. YES is a nonprofit organization and a leading provider of youth counseling and substance abuse services in the region. Since 1968, YES has been a lifeline for kids and families, offering treatment, education and prevention services to help youth become healthy, confident and self-reliant and families to be strong, supportive and loving. While YES accepts insurance, Med-icaid and offers a sliding scale, no one is turned away for inability to pay. For information, visit YouthEastsideSer-vices.org.

Judge flip-flops on Potala Village decision due to filing errorBy Carrie rodriguez

[email protected]

A King County Supe-rior Court judge has flip-flopped on her

decision over a controversial Kirkland development - again.

Judge Monica Benton reversed her decision for the second time in a week on whether to allow Bellevue developer Lobsang Dargey to build his Potala Village proj-ect under the original zoning that was in place when he applied for a permit.

This time, the judge on Monday ordered the city of

Kirkland to honor the devel-oper’s building permit based on 2011 zoning laws.

In her own handwriting, Benton wrote that the court “mistakenly filed” a May 29 order granting the city’s motion for reconsideration, according to her ruling filed Monday. That decision denies the city’s motion for reconsid-eration.

The city filed a motion for reconsideration on May 20, arguing that when Dargey filed his shoreline permit in 2011, he was only vested in existing shoreline regulations - not the entire zoning laws in existence before the morato-

rium was imposed.Benton then vacated her

prior ruling on May 29, granting the city’s motion for the court to recon-sider whether to allow Dargey to build the project, per 2011 zoning laws.

But the judge’s latest decision on Monday means that the parties are “back to where we were” when the judge signed the developer’s original order on May 9 that the city must process the developer’s building permit, said Robin Jenkinson, city attorney.

Jenkinson said the city may

decide to appeal Benton’s most recent decision and will have until July 6 to do so.

“In the meantime, the city must abide by the judge’s

May 9 order and accept and process a build-ing permit applica-tion according to the zoning and land-use

regulations in effect in February 2011,” added

Jenkinson. When Dargey filed his

shoreline substantial develop-ment permit in 2011, the zoning laws in effect at that time in the neighborhood business district on Lake Street South did not contain

any limit on residential density.

His project called for 143 residential units per acre, with 6,000 square feet of retail and parking space on a 1.2 acre lot on 10th Avenue South and Lake Street South.

Following opposition from hundreds of residents concerned about the project’s high density, the city imposed a total of four moratoria and later established a new density limit of 48 units per acre in December of 2012. The new zoning restricted Dargey’s project to a total of 60 units.

City attorneys argued that

the project was subject to the new zoning because Dargey hadn’t applied for a building permit.

However, when Dargey attempted to file a building permit application with the city in October 2012, the city refused to accept the applica-tion due to the moratorium in place.

Dargey’s attorney Duana Kolouskova filed an injunc-tion against the city last May with claims that the mora-torium was imposed on the property illegally.

Kolouskova did not im-mediately return requests for comment.

Join conversation about Cross Kirkland Corridor at June 8 event

City of Kirkland leaders have launched an ambitious and inclusive public involve-ment campaign, “Kirkland 2035: Your Voice. Your

Vision. Your Future.,” as a way to listen to ideas from community members about the city’s future.

Several long-range and strategic plans are being up-dated and developed that will shape Kirkland’s future in land-use, housing, transpor-tation, parks and the Cross Kirkland Corridor.

Community members are invited to a Planning Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 8 at Kirkland City Hall, 123 Fifth Ave.

Information and interac-tive activities during the event will engage residents and businesses in the Cross Kirkland Corridor Master Plan, Comprehensive Plan update, Transportation Master Plan, and the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan.

A one-hour “crash course” on the Growth Management Act and how the city’s Com-prehensive Plan guides the city’s future will be held from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., followed

by a moderated conversation from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. with council members on how the city can best manage fu-ture growth in housing and jobs and meet the transpor-tation needs of a larger city.

Other plans that need public input include the Juanita Drive Corridor Study, Surface Water Master Plan, and Totem Lake Park Master Plan.

Event details can be found at www.kirklandwa.gov/kirkland2035 or by call-ing 425-587-3001.

For more information on the city’s Kirkland 2035 initiative, visit www.kirk-

landwa.gov/kirkland2035 or email [email protected].

City phone message system improvements take effect

The city of Kirkland activated a new phone messaging system this week that offers call-in customers more direct access to the ap-propriate city staff member for assistance.

Callers can select options for frequently requested services such as permitting,

recreation and parks infor-mation, the Police Depart-ment, Municipal Court and City Jail.

Callers can also reach staff by selecting a depart-ment or by entering the staff person’s name.

The new system offers many selections and callers are encouraged to have a pen and paper ready when calling the city’s main phone number at 425-587-3000 or the various city depart-ments.

For an online staff direc-tory, go to www.kirklandwa.gov and select “Contact Us.”

Services Committee at a March 19 council meeting after she and Councilwoman Amy Walen discussed the idea.

“We had some people in the community who have asked us to look at it,” Walen said. “During my time in office, somebody probably mentions it every couple of months. People look to us for leadership in environmental issues.”

Prior to learning the survey results, Walen said the city would most likely be looking at a fee or at the option of requiring retailers to utilize on-site plastic bag recycling.

Residents supported mea-sures aimed at stores for re-ducing plastic bag pollution – 85 percent thought stores should be required to have plastic bag recycling bins.

John MacGillivray, the Solid Waste Program’s lead with Public Works, who is heading the plastic bag study, admitted he’s a little sur-prised from the results of the survey. However, he noted the phone survey is only a part of the research he and his staff are planning to do. The online business survey results were unavailable be-fore the Reporter’s deadline.

“[The survey results] will play a role,” MacGillivray said. “This is one piece of the report. We’re going to consider the environmental, economic and health im-pacts. But it will have some influence. It’s one more thing for the council members to

look at.”Part of the study is to con-

sider how the money would be used if fees were imposed on plastic bags, though it is still too early to understand where the money would go, said MacGillivray. But 21 percent of the surveyed residents said it should pay for city promotion of waste prevention and recycling programs, while 24 percent continued to voice a charge should not be enforced at all, an option not offered on the questionnaire.

With hopes to deliver a staff recommendation to the council by early fall, MacGil-livray said the city will be interviewing officials and doing case studies on other Northwest cities such as Seattle, Edmonds, Belling-ham and Issaquah, which have enacted restrictions on plastic bags. MacGillivray will also seek input from key stakeholders ranging from local grocers associations to the American Chemistry Council, along with major grocery stores.

PCC Natural Markets spokeswoman Diana Chap-

man said the organic grocery store discontinued plastic bags in 2007 because “single use plastic bags are not in line with [PCC’s] objective.”

“Even though paper bags cost three to four times more, we thought we could take the hit,” Chapman said. “As soon as we announced it, one by one, jurisdictions followed. We would love for Kirkland to jump on the bandwagon. It isn’t just a lifestyle, if you legislate it, people will follow.”

Chapman explained PCC shoppers are offered a rebate of 5 cents per reusable bag they bring but more than 92 percent of shoppers elect to donate the change to two nonprofits – PCC Food Bank program or Farmland Trust.

Kirkland residents who would like to weigh in on the issue of plastic bags can contact MacGillivray at (425) 587-3804 or [email protected].

no horrific accidents. Why no accidents? It is because of the strength of the survival instinct that causes people to stop when they see a huge bus coming right at them in their lane.

Also because all that the bus drivers really have to do, if some evil person who doesn’t see the trick signs manages to slip around the corner just in front of them, is take their foot off the gas. Of course, this makes some of them hopping mad!

In my many hours of observation over the last year I have seen several bus driv-ers almost lose it completely, responding with screamed insults, rude hand gestures and 30-second horn blasts.

The innocent driver is just startled and confused and continues around the corner with no clue as to the cause

of the bus driver’s hissy fit.On one occasion I

observed an unusually intelligent bus driver, who happened to be a middle-aged white male, simply slow down, catch the right turner’s eye, gently point over his left shoulder and up at the camouflaged “no right turn on red” sign and wonder of wonders, that evil right turner stopped right in his tracks. Instantly. Like magic! Common sense, courtesy and respect work so much better than scream-ing, swearing and rude hand gestures.

Which brings me back to the main point of my original letter. People are not bla-tantly, defiantly, rebelliously “disobeying” the signs. They are not seeing them.

Jane Peterson, Kirkland

[ letters from page 5] Giving a nod to the

American Cancer Society’s 100th anniversary this year, Michelle noted about the survivors, who told the crowd their names and how many years they’ve been cancer-free (the years ranged from one to 20-plus): “You can see from the beginning to the end of the line, how far we’ve come.”

“Relay for Life is the signature fundraising activ-ity for the American Cancer Society and honors cancer survivors, any-one who has ever been diagnosed with cancer and remembers those lost to the disease,” Redmond City Councilman Pat Vache added about the American Cancer Society’s mission while reading a proclama-tion signed by Redmond Mayor John Marchione and Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride. Money raised helps support research, education, advocacy and

patient services.“It’s an important event,

and I like the (American Cancer Society’s) whole idea of the ‘24 hours be-cause cancer never sleeps.’ That’s a great notion to get across,” Vache told the Reporter later during the event.

Kirkland resident Beth Dotson is a Relay for

Life co-chair and began participat-ing in the event nine years ago when her mother

died from ovarian cancer.

“A month after I lost her, I met somebody that did Relay and it was a healing process for me to get involved. Now I do it for her (my mother) and to help other people,” she said. “It feels amazing see-ing everybody out here and everybody joining in to fight cancer.”

As Kirkland’s Kathy Kubista, 69, strolled around the track, she said she was thankful to be a

four-and-a-half-year sur-vivor of breast cancer. She participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure before, but this was her first time out at Relay for Life.

“You always see the big telethons and movie stars, but it’s us – our commu-nity,” Kubista said of the local event. “The people that I go to church with or live next door to, you want to be part of the solution of finding an end to breast cancer, and all cancer.”

During the survivor lap, Redmond’s Lyle Burns, 71, waved his hands to the beat of the music and had a skip in his step.

The three-year multiple myeloma survivor partici-pated in his fourth Relay for Life.

“The ‘C’ word is a nasty word to me, and I’ll do anything and everything I can to support [the cause],” said the member of the Su-per Cancer Eating Turtles team.

People also honored

their loved ones during the event’s luminaria, which featured lighted candles in decorated paper bags for those who have passed away from cancer.

Redmond High students Emma Chao and Michael Schach and Interlake High student Marie Hayman were some of the younger people involved in the event. Hayman and Schach had grandparents who died of cancer, and Chao’s sister, Stephanie, died of synovial sarcoma (a tumor in the leg muscle) six years ago at the age of 15. Chao’s mother, Kathy Kahn, is a breast-cancer survivor.

As she took a break from walking at the start of the event, Chao said that she participates in honor of her sister.

“I just love to come out here, especially with a lot of my friends,” she said. “It’s all worth it. It’s a really great experience.”

Barry KnottSurrounded by his loving family,

Robert “Barry” Knott passed away on May 31st, 2013 after bravely battling pancreatic cancer for over a year.

Barry Knott was born on July 30th, 1946 and grew up in Seattle graduating from Blanchet High School in 1964. It was in high school that Barry developed his passions for English literature and wrestling. These passions would grow

over time and signi� cantly in� uence Barry’s life. In 1968, Barry earned his teaching credentials and graduated

from Seattle University. Upon graduation from SU, he taught high school English literature and served as an inspirational coach to many wrestling teams. The majority of Barry’s 34 year teaching and coaching career was spent at Nathan Hale and Lake Washington High Schools. In 1990 while at Nathan Hale, Barry was recognized as Wrestling Coach of the Decade, 1980 - 1990.

Barry retired from teaching in 2003 and in 2007, he and his wife Jeanne moved to Arlington, Washington where he continued to mentor and coach wrestling teams at Arlington High School.

In addition to wrestling and teaching, Barry was an avid singer and lover of music. For over 25 years, he was an in� uential member of Northwest Sound Men’s Chorus which is the Bellevue chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. He loved joining his barbershop brothers “in harmony and fellowship to enrich lives through song.” He sang with many quartets and travelled to judge barbershop competitions. Barry was also active in many church choirs over the years.

Barry will be deeply missed by Jeanne, his wife of 29 years; his sister Patricia Druxman (Pat); daughters Maggie and Elizabeth Knott and Suzanne Estep (Melissa Sackett); countless members of the extended family, friends, colleagues, students, wrestlers and singers. Barry was preceded in death by his parents, William H. and Thelma Knott and his brother William “Gordon” Knott.

A Funeral Rosary Vigil will be held on Friday evening June 7th, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Arlington Washington. The Funeral Mass will be held at 10.00 a.m. Saturday, June 8th also at Immaculate Conception. The Church is located at 1200 East Fifth Street, Arlington.

The family requests that in lieu of � owers, donations be made to Harmony Explosion, a vocal performance camp for youth or the Immaculate Conception Debt Reduction Fund or a

charity of choice. 799130

Megan Graham after her release from jail two weeks ago. Graham’s injuries allegedly stem from a Federal Way police o� cer. CONTRIBUTED

BY ANDY HOBBS

Reporter Newspapers

A Kirkland woman who faces a felony assault charge is

also accusing Federal Way o� cers of police brutality during her arrest.

� e arrest occurred at about 7:15 p.m. May 27 in the parking lot of Forest Cove Apartments. � e complex is located near Southwest Dash Point Road and Southwest 312th Street.

Megan Graham, 36, said she pulled into the parking lot to visit a friend when a Federal Way police cruiser drove up behind her with its lights � ashing. She believed the o� cer saw her using a cell phone while driving.

As the confrontation began, Graham dialed 911. According to the 911 recording, Graham told the operator that she was being attacked and needed assistance.

“How dare you even touch me,” she told the of-� cer on the recording. � e recording captured audio of a police o� cer repeat-

edly saying “You are under arrest,” “put your hands behind your back” and “stop resisting.”

Graham faces a felony charge of assaulting a police o� cer. Her arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. June 10 at the Regional Justice Center in Kent.

According to Federal Way police, the o� cer made the tra� c stop and was com-pleting the infraction when Graham, the driver, began walking away with her dog and refused to get back in her vehicle.

� e o� cer attempted to detain her, and according to police, was met with re-sistance. � e o� cer advised Graham she was under arrest, and a second o� cer arrived to assist.

“Force was used to a� ect the arrest,” according to Federal Way police. “� e incident and the force used to a� ect the arrest is under review.”

According to a report � led by O� cer Justin An-tholt, Graham had “bladed her feet and balled her � sts

in a � ghter’s stance.” � e re-port said Graham attempted to strike O� cer Ashley Crispin, who had arrived for backup.

“Crispin then responded with closed � st strikes to Graham’s face, which brought her to the ground where she was handcu� ed,” according to the police report.

South King Fire and Rescue treated her for so� tissue injuries at the scene, according to police. Graham was then booked into the SCORE Jail for third-degree assault of a police o� cer, obstruction and resisting arrest.

Graham said she told the o� cer she was hard of hear-ing, and that she wanted to take her dog to a friend’s apartment. � at’s when the o� cer grabbed her hand, she said, and she reached for her phone.

“� e moment I pulled the phone out, he pulled a taser on me,” Graham said. “I’m explaining to the operator what’s going on. … All of a sudden I’m in a lock hold,

he’s got me down bent over like in wrestling. Every time he said ‘stop resisting,’ at the end of ‘resisting,’ he punched my face.”

Graham said she was punched three times in the face.

“I could taste the blood going into the back of my sinuses,” she said. “Once I was on the ground, I was hurt. … All of a sudden there’s all these cops on top of me pushing my face in the ground. … It was just so unbelievably horri� c and upsetting.”

Despite a black-and-blue face and a concussion from the incident, Graham was quick to praise police for their role in public safety.

“I don’t want people to take anything out on the police department. I want to hold the o� cers account-able for what they did,” she said. “I didn’t assault any-body. I didn’t do anything.”
