Judge rules in favor of Potala Village developerBY RAECHEL DAWSON

[email protected]

King County Superior Court judge Monica Ben-ton ruled on May 9 that the city of Kirkland must accept and process the Potala Village developer’s permit application per February 2011 zoning laws, when it was origi-nally filed.

For one year, plain-

tiffs Lobsang Dargey and wife Tamara Agassi Dargey with Potala Vil-lage Kirkland, LLC, and defendants with the city argued over several build-ing moratoria the city imposed on neighbor-hood business districts, where the controversial proposed Potala Village project would have been.

The Dargey’s Bellevue

attorney Duana T. Ko-louskova filed an injunc-tion against the city last May with claims that the moratorium was imposed on the property illegally.

Dargey filed a second lawsuit in January, which asserted the city used the ongoing

moratorium as a cover to abruptly adopt drastic

zoning changes that forced major amendments to the Potala Vil-lage project. That lawsuit is still in litigation.

Dargey initially proposed a four-story development in 2009 that would

consist of 181 apartment units with 6,000 square feet of retail and parking space on a 1.2 acre lot on 10th Avenue South and Lake Street South.

However, when Dargey met with the city to scale down the project, he agreed to 150 units per acre. The density limit was again revised to 143 units per acre “to allow

for higher ceilings and larger courtyards that most city standards in the region require,” according to 2012 court documents.

But on Feb. 23, 2011 when Dargey submitted his Shoreline Substantial Development permit ap-plication for that design, which is subject to the vested rights doctrine,

About 100 Kirkland business owners, city o� cials and interested citizens rushed through morning tra� c to get to the Eastside Tennis Center in Totem Lake on Tuesday.

But it wasn’t to play a tennis match.

� e 7:30 a.m. Kirkland Business Roundtable meeting was the � rst of many public outreach e� orts to learn what the community wants out of the Cross Kirkland Corridor’s master plan. � ose who attended were automatically deemed a member of the the city’s Cross Kirkland Corridor Founders Club.

“Let’s start this con-versation, this process of imagination, to develop this corridor,” said Mayor Joan McBride. “Let the dreaming begin.”

And with ideas such as a Gondola transporta-tion system or a brewery abutting the corridor, Guy Michaelson of Berger Partnership agrees that the sky is truly the limit.

“We’re only limited by our imagination,” Mi-chaelson said, whose company is the chosen ar-chitecture � rm to develop

the master plan. “� e Cross Kirkland Corridor is not just a trail, it can be so much more.”

Whether the corridor is a hub for eating, shop-ping, biking or a place to walk, its development is sure to have a positive impact on surrounding businesses. According to the city, 1,173 businesses with 10,904 employees are located within 2,000 feet (less than a half-mile) of the 5.75 mile long cor-ridor.

But City Manager Kurt Triplett said the common idea for the master plan -

a paved trail to be 30 feet from the rail bed - will cost an estimated $115-$120 million to achieve but “ultimately we’ll get there.”

And Lisa Picard with Skanska USA Commercial Development said it’s an investment that would have a positive economic impact longterm.

Picard described that a business can � ourish simply by being located near the corridor’s trails and future transporta-tion access. Although the lifespan for businesses has dramatically decreased in

the past 70 years, she said successful businesses have found a way to sustain themselves by � nding connections.

She anticipates tenants of a multi-use building called Stone34, which is currently being construct-ed in Fremont, would bene� t from the nearby Burke-Gilman Trail.

“[Brooks Sports, Inc., the major tenant of Stone34,] will create an urban trail head with their business by creating a large open plaza, and by hosting running events and activities,” Picard said.

Similarly, one perk of the Cross Kirkland Cor-ridor’s master plan will be to attract new business to the current companies nearby, such as Astron-ics Advanced Electronic Systems Corporation and EvergreenHealth Medical Center.

� e Google expansion and Transit-Oriented Development projects are also expected to bene� t from the corridor’s de-velopment, as well as the Par Mac Business District that is a “sleeping giant that will awaken with the

Business group brainstorms on Cross Kirkland Corridor future

A group of business owners, city o� cials and interested citizens brainstorm ideas on what they want out of the Cross Kirkland Corridor’s master plan. Ideas ranged from a Gondola transportation system and brewery next to the corridor, to a hub for shopping and biking. RAECHEL DAWSON, Kirkland Reporter

Candidates file this week for five open council seatsBY RAECHEL DAWSON

[email protected]

Five candidates have � led for the � ve open Kirkland City Council positions so far this week during the King County candidate � l-ing period.

Candidates have until May 17 at 4:30 p.m. to � le for an elected position to be considered during the November general election.

Incumbent council mem-bers Deputy Mayor Doreen Marchione, Penny Sweet and Amy Walen are in the mix with Shelly Kloba, who was recently chosen by the council to temporarily � ll Position 2 a� er former Councilman Bob Sterno� resigned in March.

But one new candidate, Jay Arnold, � led for Posi-tion 1, which will be vacant a� er Mayor Joan McBride steps down from her seat at the end of the year. Arnold announced his bid for the seat back in February.

Since then, he has received nearly 30 endorse-ments from elected o� cials, former council members and community leaders - some of which include Mc-Bride, Rep. Larry Springer, and Jon Pascal, vice chair of the Planning Commission.

his application wasn’t approved until Jan. 17 of this year. During that time the city enacted four moratoria and changed neigh-borhood business (BN) zoning laws that would prevent him from building the 143 unit per acre project. There are only two BN zones in Kirkland - one in the Bridle Trails neighborhood and one on Lake Street South.

City attorney Robin Jenkinson said city officials are looking at their options for judicial review and will ask the judge to reconsider her decision on May 20.

“The judge was thoughtful, she read a great deal of material,” said Jenkins of the 21 court declarations, motions, exhibits and responses. “We just see it differently.”

redevelopment of the corridor that threads through it,” said Kirkland Business Roundtable members.

Michaelson outlined the multitude of ways the corridor could attract people from across the country by implementing designs that include visually appealing lighting and art that celebrates the history of the railroad with a strong connection to the neighboring greenery and wetlands.

“I know Kirkland is a community with a lot of soul,” Michaelson said. “The Cross Kirkland Corridor should reflect the soul of this community.”

Near the end of the event, people were invited to post their ideas on a large map

of the Cross Kirkland Corridor. Northwest University officials want a corridor that will promote fitness, Imagine Housing hopes the trails will provide access and connect diversity and the Eastside Tennis Center wants a trail to connect people to Totem Lake Park. Others hope the trail will “get people out of cars.”

A city-wide Community Planning Day will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 8 at Kirkland City Hall for the public to learn about ideas for the master plan and voice their own before the master plan is finished by May 2014.

Hopelink launches annual End Summer Hunger campaign to feed kids

For more than 16,000 children in north and east King County, summer vacation means something other than a chance to spend the day outside playing with friends: It means no longer knowing for sure that you will have breakfast or lunch.

End Summer Hunger – running through August – is Hopelink’s annual grassroots campaign aimed at ensuring that local kids in low-income families have enough to eat while they’re on summer break. The fundrais-ing drive brings together local businesses, organizations, schools and individuals to help provide food for kids who receive free and reduced-fee breakfasts and lunches during the school year.

Over the next several months, Hopelink is encouraging groups and individuals alike to get involved with the campaign.

The proceeds from End Summer Hunger will stock the agency’s five food banks for the high-demand summer months when kids are not in school and the subsidized school programs are not available. In 2012, the End Summer Hunger campaign served nearly 5,000 children in 2,300 homes.

Hopelink President and CEO Marilyn Mason-Plunkett said End Summer Hunger helps families continue to move toward self-sufficiency by ensuring they have enough to eat and are able to focus their energies on getting back on their feet.

“Food is essential. It is a building block. When families are hungry, stability is impos-sible,” Mason-Plunkett said.

“We know that consistent access to nutri-tious food enables our low-income families to direct their limited resources toward other basic needs – such as heat, transportation, and childcare – without worrying about whether their children have enough to eat,” she said. “And we know that having nutritious food and enough to eat is essential to helping kids learn, thrive and grow into healthy adults.”

In 2012, Hopelink’s five food banks provid-

ed nearly 2.7 million pounds of food to more than 15,000 people in the community. The End Summer Hunger program provides addi-tional healthy breakfast and lunch-type foods to current food bank clients with school-aged children, including fresh fruit and fruit juices, peanut butter, cereal, ramen and snacks.

“Hopelink’s proven formula for addressing gaps in food security impacts thousands of families in Seattle, but hunger doesn’t take a summer break — it’s always in session,” said Bob Peters, Seattle and Washington state president, Bank of America. “The End Sum-mer Hunger campaign reminds us that many families continue to struggle in this recovering economy, and that we can do something to improve the lives of those in our community, even if our own pantry is full.”

Schools that support the End Summer Hunger program encourage children in classrooms to collect coins, while businesses, organizations and civic or community clubs hold food drives, fund drives, or both.

CommunityBRIEFS


My experience with breast cancer began when I was 24, when my mother was diagnosed.

She was a florist and ran her own business. She raised my siblings and me without our father, and was very strong and indepen-dent.

I remember her telling her friends that she was “just battling this little bit

of breast cancer,” and laughing about it, so that they could feel better. I remember these were the days when we didn’t even use the word “breast” much.

Mom’s lumpectomy became a mastectomy, her radiation became chemotherapy, then it was everywhere, and she died within 18 months of diagnosis.

We took care of her at home. When the hospice people wanted to medicate her so that she “wouldn’t remember anymore,” we made that decision.

Our mother was young and beautiful. She was my best friend. Life without your moth-er is, I think, quite different. My choices and priorities are not what they would be if she were here.

But I always know what mom would think, would say, and when she would laugh, so she really is always with me.

When I was 37, I felt a lump under my arm. I thought, “This isn’t good” but I didn’t think that I had breast cancer.

I went in right away and had a mam-mogram, ultrasound, then saw the breast surgeon, who said, “That needs to come out, what are you doing this Thursday?” The word came back on the day we were moving to Kirkland, I left packing boxes to get blood drawn and chest X-rays.

I’d planned to have a double mastectomy in Portland. I had a great relationship with my doctor there, even though we had just met, he invited me to talk to his sister who was a survivor.

He was a lifeline for me, as I was very afraid. My breast cancer buddies call this

time, between diagnosis and the beginning of treatment, “the pit of hell,” because of the fear.

When mom was sick, I had read that those who join support groups survive more. I wanted her to join one so much.

One of the first things I did when we moved was to call Bosom Buddies at Ever-greenHealth. The lady who answered the phone there, another lifeline, encouraged me to call Marion Johnson, breast surgeon at EvergreenHealth.

When I called Marion’s office, they were scheduling four to six weeks out. Because I knew what I wanted to do, and because my mother had “waited 90 days to see if the lump went away,” I couldn’t wait six weeks.

I faxed in my pathology, which said things like “highly active cells” and “areas suspi-cious for vascular invasion.”

On the bottom of it, I wrote about my mother’s rapid illness and asked if Dr. John-son would see me sooner. Marion called me the same day and I was in her office that week.

My husband Jim and I got married the night before my mastectomy surgery, at the Bellevue Courthouse.

Dr. Johnson created the team who saved me. She thought that I would connect with my oncologists, Dr. Van Haelst, and Dr. Tay-lor, and she was right.

During my “lost year” of chemotherapy and radiation, I made friends in treatment. People reached out to me in grocery stores. Friends of friends called me. I’ve lost some of these friends to breast cancer. I’m still losing them.

Talking to my doctor’s sister was the beginning of something. The best gift for a newly diagnosed person is to connect with someone who had what you had, and is alive.

People reached out to me, and now I reach out to them. Women meet me and I talk about what happened – as my mother could not.

I tell them that I had aggressive, triple negative breast cancer that had traveled, and that I am OK. And that they will be too.

dies Network is a support group for breast cancer patients and survivors. The group meets from 10 a.m. to noon the first and third Wednesday of the month at Evergreen-Health, room Tan 119. For information, call 206-832-1297 or visit cancerlifeline.org.

Best gift for breast cancer patients is to make connections

Kirkland has changed for the better

As a resident of Tsawwassen, out-side of Vancouver, BC, I have long had good friends living in Kirkland.

It has been perhaps 20 years since I have been to Kirkland and I remem-ber then, in the early ‘90s, how similar Kirkland seemed to my hometown.

Affluent and pleasant but somewhat dull and dowdy, and I dare say, boring.

The death of my friend’s mother in April

just passed. It provided a sad reason to return to Kirkland for the funeral service.

Visiting your town af-ter 20 years provided

an interesting “then and now” contrast for me.

To my very pleasant surprise,

Kirkland has com-pletely transformed itself into a rather different community.

To me it seemed less a suburb of Seattle and rather more of a true town with an identifiable downtown.

The mix of restaurants, shopping and pedestrian street life was a pleasant

experience. It is in sharp contrast

to my own hometown that has failed to embrace change and remains rather dull, rather dowdy and still rather boring.

I’m sure the transfor-mation in Kirkland was not without political fights (as a real estate developer, I know them all too well on my side of the border).

But I want to congratu-late Kirkland citizens and especially civic leaders for getting on with the job of community-build-ing that has clearly taken shape in Kirkland.Sean Hodgins, Delta, BC

Kirkland Events Foundation commends council

� e Kirkland Events Foundation wishes to express thanks to the Kirkland City Council for stepping up and supporting our proposal to produce Kirkland Oktober-fest this autumn. � e inaugu-ral Kirkland Oktoberfest will support those community events that struggle for fund-ing such as the Fourth of July, the Summer Concert Series and the Holiday Tree Light-ing. � e council supported the proposal for Oktoberfest at their May 7 study session.

� e council’s decision has an added bene� t: It saves $15,000 from the city budget. Oktoberfest will fund com-munity events, freeing public money for more pressing needs.

We commend the council for having found a win-win for the community and for the city budget.

� e Kirkland Events Foundation is a nonpro� t organization. We produce Kirkland Summerfest and Kirkland Oktoberfest. Sum-merfest, Kirkland’s largest festival of art, music, food and family fun, returns in 2013 on August 9-11. Admis-sion to Summerfest is free.Rob Butcher, Kirkland Events Foundation

CommunityBRIEFSKirkland resident competes at the GNAC Championships

Kirkland resident Kyle Fremd just completed his eighth and � nal year of track and � eld on May 11 at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) Cham-pionships. � e event was hosted at Western Oregon University, which anchored his Central Washington Uni-versity 4 x 400 Relay team.

� e team was able to place third with a time of 3:18.77, and Fremd’s personal split of 48.63.

Fremd has participated in a track and � eld champion-ship since his � rst year in high school in 2006. He has competed at the WIAA 1A level for Bellevue Christian School in the 4 x 400 Relay twice, open 200 meters once, and the open 400 meters once and 4 x 100 relay (State Champion 2009) four times.

While attending Central Washington University for the past four years, he has quali� ed for all four indoor GNAC Championships and all four outdoor GNAC Championships - once in the open 200 meters, twice in the Distance Medley Relay, seven times in the open 400 meters, and all eight times in the 4 x 400 Relay.

He is an Eagle Scout from Troop 572 at Rose Hill Presbyterian Church and his Eagle project was a map locator in Kirkland’s Water-shed Park. He will graduate from Central Washington University in December with a degree in Geography and a minor in Information Technology Web Design and Database Management.

Fremd currently works at the Metropolitan Market in Houghton during school breaks.

Amy Goings named Lake Washington Institute of Technology president

Amy Goings was unani-mously chosen as Lake Washington Institute of Technology’s (LWIT) ninth president by the college’s board of trustees at a special board meeting May 8.

Goings most recently served as the vice president of Operations and Col-lege Relations at Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood. She will begin her position on July 1.

� e board’s decision com-pletes a seven-month inclu-sive and transparent public process, which involved participation from college faculty, sta� and students and community members. Go-ings will replace Dr. Sharon McGavick, who has served as interim president since November 2012.

“Amy Goings is a collab-orative leader who possesses the qualities, values and com-mitment that are critical to the long-term success of the college,” said Bruce J. Reid, chair of the LWIT Board of

Trustees. “We are extremely pleased to have found Amy from a pool of very strong candidates. � roughout the presidential search process, the board received input from the college’s Presidential Search Committee and the LWIT community regarding the qualities they sought in a president. We believe she embodies those qualities and her quali� cations � t with both the school’s mission and the board’s vision.”

“I’m honored to be chosen to serve as the president of Lake Washington Institute of Technology, Washington’s only polytechnic institute,” said Goings. “I look forward to working with the college community and industry partners on the Eastside to expand educational oppor-tunities for the students and communities we serve.”

Goings began her com-munity and technical college career at Bates Technical College. She joined Clover Park Technical College as vice president of College Relations and Resource Development in 2004, and assumed additional duties in 2009 as the vice president of Operations and College Relations. Prior to her com-munity and technical college career, Goings served as the deputy director in the O� ce of Congressman Norm Dicks with responsibility for higher education and workforce outreach.

...healthy living

BY KEVIN LEE

UW News Lab

Coming home from an exhausting day of work, Mi-croso� engineer Mike Wall o� en found himself listening to music for relaxation, focus and healing. Not only was it a way to relieve stress, but over time it evolved into his true passion. � e desire to heal himself and others with sound eventually drove Wall to leave his work and change career paths.

Wall, who currently lives in Kirkland, is now a licensed massage therapist at Bothell Integrated Health, multi-in-strumentalist, and composer of healing music. His albums “Passage” and “A Time for Healing” were created with intentions of conveying peace, calm, healing and relaxation.

“Composing, playing and recording is a wild ride,” said Wall. “I create and bask in lush soundscapes, improvise to the sound of the ocean or a dawn chorus, or Zen out to a Tibetan bowl drone.”

Growing up in the ‘70s, Wall was a big fan of the progressive rock music genre. His love for psychedelic guitar tunes plays a big part in his musical choices when it comes to designing sounds.

“I love using electric guitars with classic tones and taming them so they comple-ment the Native American � utes, Tibetan singing bowls and numerous classical and world instruments,” explained Wall. “At a ‘New Age’ trade show, many people were surprised to see and hear singing electric guitar as a part of this peaceful music.”

To stay innovative and in-spired at the same time, Wall spends a lot of time traveling and being in nature. Wall and his wife, Pam, o� en venture into the outdoors to Oregon, California and Hawaii to

take photographs and record sounds. Other times, a simple stroll out of the house is more than enough for the couple.

“We are fortunate enough to be in the Paci� c North-west, with its natural diversity, beauty and occasional quiet. … I have found deep peace and healing on the coast, in the rainforests and the alpine meadows [near] our home,” said Wall.

Pam Wall, who also turns to Wall’s music when she is busy at work, was one of the � rst people to experience this magical healing process.

“Before Mike started creat-ing his music, I don’t think I gave music much thought as an avenue for healing,” she said. “But seeing it work for Mike, myself, and others has really opened my eyes and my heart.”

Wall believes that music has the power to evoke memories and emotions, while also a� ecting blood pressure, breathing and heart rate. “If I can record and share sounds that help people focus, meditate, relax, or just quiet down and listen, then that’s what I should be doing,” said Wall.

Phil McAdams, a Seattle native who listened to Wall’s music for the � rst time recently, talked about the experience. “� e best word to describe it is ‘soothing.’… I can totally imagine myself being really calm and at ease a� er listening for a while,” said McAdams.

Wall has produced more than 30 successful nature sounds and New Age com-pilation projects, which are available on Amazon and iTunes as well as streaming sources like Pandora. He also performs live in the Seattle area.

It’s a proven fact that most people change their eating hab-its and lifestyle choices only a� er a serious health scare such as a heart attack or a diabetes diagno-sis. Still, in many cases that

may not be enough. Old habits tend to die hard, but o� en there are also not many alternatives to what they’ve been doing in terms of eating right and taking care of

themselves.Making better diet and

lifestyle choices continues to be an uphill battle.

A recent study found that most consumers a� er being confronted with a major health crisis were still in� uenced in their choices by factors other than what’s good for their health. For example, people can � nd

it difficult to change their long established eating habits, said Dr. Yu Ma, an economics professor at Alberta School of Busi-ness and author of the study. Another highly influential factor is price, he says. If they get a good deal on a particular item, they will go for it, and if it’s too expensive, they will stay away, no matter how much they would benefit health-wise.

Another issue is what he calls the “health halo effect.” Most people divide foods simply into two categories: healthy and unhealthy, he says. If something is considered healthful, e.g., a salad or a breakfast cereal, as op-posed to a cheeseburger or a sugar-laden donut, people tend to overin-dulge in the “healthy” stuff without much further thought. We have seen that phenom-enon when, for example, fat-free cookies came on the market and many believed they could consume those in almost unlimited quantities because of the absence of fat. Of course, eliminating the fat did not make those

cookies less caloric, and the results became appar-ent soon thereafter.

Another study, this one on heart attack and stroke patients, showed that nearly 15 percent did not alter their eating and lifestyle habits after the incident, including poor diet choices, lack of exercise and smok-ing. Less than half of all par-ticipants in the study reported having made at least one change, and less than a third said they made several improvements. Only 4 percent claimed they did everything that was recommended to them to prevent further deteriora-tion of their health.

Much of the unwilling-ness or inability to make healthier diet and lifestyle choices can be blamed on the widespread confusion among the public due to the ceaseless onslaught of sometimes contradictory messages in the media about health matters. In addition, many of the warnings issued by experts are hard to heed by consumers who are oftentimes ignorant, if

not intentionally kept in the dark, about the nu-tritional quality of their food supply.

For instance, recom-mendations to avoid high fat, salt and sugar content may be well-meaning, but they are by and large useless when ingredients lists are hard to decipher

or when restaurants aren’t required to follow any dietary guidelines or to post nutritional

information on their menus.

“I think people are in-terested in making chang-es and they are heeding the warnings,” said Dr. Sara Bleich, an associate professor of health pol-icy at the John Hopkins School of Public Health to NBC News. “But when it comes to food, it’s much more complicated. Cereal, for example, has a tremendous amount of added sugar. And not ev-eryone understands that breakfast foods like muf-fins and pastry, things that people don’t con-sider to be a dessert or an indulgence, pack a lot of sugar.” Similar concerns apply to salt in countless processed foods, many

of which don’t even taste salty, and certain types of fats, some of which are obscured by arbitrary serving descriptions on food labels.

Undoubtedly, more and more people want to be better informed about nutritional health and be empowered to make the right choices. With grow-ing consumer demand

for further regulation and protection, that may be feasible over time. But for now, it’s an ongoing uphill battle, and most of us have to fend for ourselves as well as we can.

Arnold for Kloba’s seat, said in a recent news release that he and Arnold have similar perspectives from serving together on the Planning Commission.

“He recognizes the importance of encouraging economic development, while at the same time ad-dressing concerns in our neighborhoods,” Pascal said.

Arnold said he’s grate-ful to have Pascal on his team, as he hopes to tap

into Pascal’s “transportation expertise” if he does take the council seat.

“I’m really excited to have Jon supporting my cam-paign,” Arnold said. “We share similar passions and experiences. I have a tre-mendous amount of respect for Jon.”

Despite Arnold’s many endorsements and little competition as of the Re-porter’s deadline, according to the Public Disclosure Commission’s website, he said he expects some

competition by the end of the week.

“I’m pretty con� dent I can win this but I know there’s other work ahead,” he said. “I do have a lot of support, and I’m honored to have that support, but I also know there’s a lot of folks in the city who don’t know who I am or what I stand for.”

Arnold said he plans to change that by actively dis-cussing issues, such as how to address the outdated city and neighborhood plans,

with the community this summer and fall.

Shelley Kloba, current councilwoman in Position 2, looks at her interim term as a great opportunity for the Kirkland voters.

“I do have con� dence that hard work and doing my homework will show people that I’m a person that operates with integrity and has the best intentions,” Kloba said, “and that my positions are consistent with my values.”

Kloba acknowledges

she has a busy summer ahead while she balances being a � rst-time council-woman and campaign-ing to maintain her spot. She said she plans to do a plethora of public outreach activities such as attending neighborhood meetings, picnics, regional meetings and having campaigning parties to learn about her constituents.

But at the end of the day, she will maintain her platform that the council continues to be transparent,

speci� cally, as the Com-prehensive Plan is updated within the next two years.

Councilmen Dave Asher and Toby Nixon will con-tinue to serve Kirkland until their terms expire at the end of 2015 and are up for re-election.

Voters of the August pri-mary will narrow the race if a council position has more than two competing candi-dates. Washington’s primary voting period is from July 19 to Aug. 6, the day of the primary.

Gardens green alternatives to lawns

(NAPSI)-You don’t always need a lush lawn to make the neighbors green with envy. Sometimes, you don’t need

much lawn at all.Gardens for homegrown

food have been an important part of American homes from the early pioneers to World War II Victory gar-dens. Now, however, a recent survey has found that food gardens have re-emerged as a new technique to increase the sustainability of a home. Nearly one in � ve residential landscape architects is replac-ing part or all of traditional grass lawns with vegetable gardens, according to a sur-

vey by the American Society of Landscape Architects.

“Not only do you bene� t from fresh produce, but these gardens o� er lower mainte-nance time and utility costs compared to turf- grass while substantially increasing the sustainability of a home,” said ASLA President Gary Scott. “Plus, there’s nothing more convenient or sustainable than homegrown food.”

Food gardens can be easy, rewarding and sustainable. Visit www.asla.org.

Pamela Ridgway is a three-time breast cancer survivor. First

diagnosed in 1994, her mis-sion ever since has been to increase awareness, funding and support within the com-munity.

� is year is the 20th an-niversary of the Susan G. Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure. � e national organization was founded in 1982 by Nancy Brinker, in memory of her sister Susan. It now boasts 120 a� liate organizations pledging to

help reduce breast cancer mortality rates and � nd a cure for the disease.

Ridgway, who lives in Kirkland, originally attended a luncheon for breast cancer survivors hosted by Race for the Cure. She has been vol-unteering for the event since 2003, including serving three years on the Puget Sound af-� liate’s board of directors.

“I’m a true believer in edu-cation and early detection,”

said Ridgway, who under-went a double mastectomy in 2000. “We do a lot of work in areas that are underserved. I’m proud to be a part of that.”

Breast cancer has never and will never discourage her from staying active and living life to the fullest, she said. She has completed 13 marathons and more than 50 half mara-thons, while also enjoying long distance cycling and competitive tennis.

Her active lifestyle is also a crucial part of her business. Marathon Health and Well-ness functions as an educa-tion and coaching service for those looking to improve their diet, � tness and overall health. Ridgway says breast cancer is just one of those things she has had to deal with in her life.

Seventy-� ve percent of the Puget Sound a� liate’s net income is spent in the community, funding mam-mogram screenings, outreach and treatment and better education, while 25 percent supports research. � is year, the organization has been awarded $2.9 million in grants and has provided care to 35,200 individuals.

Jim Clunes is the commu-nication manager for Puget Sound’s Race for the Cure. He will be attending the event for the second time.

“It’s more than just a race,” he said. “It’s also an oppor-tunity for survivors to come together. … It’s very emo-tional, but also a lot of fun. It’s just a great event.”

Two of Clunes’ dearest friends are breast cancer survivors and he feels that everyone has been a� ected by breast cancer in some way.

Marie Strohmayer is among those who have ties to the disease. A� er her aunt

died of breast cancer, her mother began having routine check-ups and was diagnosed for the � rst time in 2008, in Strohmayer’s � nal year of high school.

“It was really important she got checked up early,” Strohmayer said. “With my aunt, they found it really late. � ey didn’t know as much about breast cancer back then.”

She cautions against giv-ing credence to any stigmas associated with breast cancer. While lung cancer, for ex-ample, is intrinsically linked with smoking, breast cancer should not be blamed on

lifestyle choice or unhealthy behaviors of any sort.

Strohmayer is encouraged by the work that the Komen Foundation is doing.

“It’s really important,” she said. “You have to keep fund-ing if you want to � nd a cure.”

Community members can show support by taking part in the 5k or 1-mile race on June 2 at Seattle Center. For more information visit www.komenpugetsound.org.

RACE FOR THE CURE

BY LINDA BALL

Reporter Newspapers

Jenn Nudelman, 46, knew the odds were stacked against her. Breast cancer

runs deep in her family so she knew her chance of getting the disease was one in three. Her grandmother died from breast cancer, and she has two aunts who are survivors.

Knowing this, she has been vigilant and aware, keeping up with her yearly mammo-grams and checkups. But the odds caught up with her.

“My family has a gene mu-tation that hasn’t been identi-� ed yet,” Nudelman said.

A lump found in her breast was so small that it was only detected by a radiologist at Overlake Hospital as a result of her regularly scheduled mammogram.

� e � rst biopsy came back atypia, meaning there was an abnormality in a cell. A sub-sequent MRI revealed three areas with increased blood � ow, which can indicate malignant activity.

“It lit up the screen,” Nudelman said.

An MRI guided biopsy con� rmed that all three areas were malignant. What’s unique about her story is she never felt a lump. Even with her family history she was a bit surprised.

� e diagnosis was multi-focal invasive ductal carci-noma. � e recommendation was mastectomy.

Even though the cancer was only in one breast, Nudelman opted for a bi-lateral mastectomy.

“When I made that decision, even though the other side didn’t have cancer I looked at it as a ticking time bomb,” she said.

Fortunately, since it was caught so early she didn’t have to endure chemothera-py; the cancer had not crept into her lymph nodes and her margins were all clear of cancer.

Nudelman waited three months for all of the pathol-ogy reports to be analyzed, then she moved forward with reconstructive surgery. Since her mastectomy was skin and nipple sparing, she was able to go the route of expanders,

which over time are gradually � lled with saline solution to expand the skin, in prepara-tion for implants.

Two and a half weeks a� er having the expanders put in, Nudelman walked in the Komen Foundation’s 3-Day for the Cure, a three day, 60-mile walk to raise money for breast cancer research. She walked all 60-miles and has done so a total of seven times — she was walking it before she got cancer, in honor of her grandmother. � is year she will walk for the eighth time. She even has seven pink-ribbon tattoos on her leg for each time she has participated in the 3-Day.

“My body was tired,” she said of the walk a� er her surgery.

In her last 3-Day she was nominated to be part of the survivor circle and was hon-ored to carry the “optimism” � ag into Century Link Field.

What she has learned from her cancer experience is how strong she really is.

“In a way, I consider cancer as a blessing,” she said. “I was laid o� half-way through

my treatment, so I had time once I started feeling better to volunteer for Komen.”

Her work with Komen has taken her to large employers like the FAA and the IRS, and also a private school in Kirkland to talk to them about the importance of fundraising for Komen. She found it gratifying to talk to high school kids.

“It’s being able to touch someone, to be able to talk to someone that age and make them see why this is impor-tant,” she said.

She was also the surprise speaker at Mammogra-phy Reporting System, which provides so� ware for mammograms, breast MRIs, nuclear imaging and ultrasounds.

She said it was helpful for them to put a human face on breast cancer.

Nudelman, who lives in Is-saquah, plans to re-enter the workforce soon, but in the meantime she started foster-ing and rehabilitating dogs. Along with a friend, they are starting a Shar-Pei rescue group called “Aleks Angels.”

She will participate in Race for the Cure on June 2 in Seattle. Seventy-� ve percent of funds raised from Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure stay right here, and

25 percent goes to national research. � e percentages � ip for the 3-Day, with 75 percent going to national research and 25 percent staying in the Puget Sound area.

A woman jumped from a moving car on Interstate 405 in Kirkland on May 9, according to the Washing-ton State Patrol.

The woman was trans-ported to Harborview Medical Center with minor

injuries from the impact of hitting the pavement.

Trooper Julie Judson said the woman was rid-ing in a blue chevy going northbound, just south of the Northeast 85th Street exit, when she intentionally jumped out of the passen-ger side, witnesses said.

A semi-truck driver had

to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting her.

“Luckily, all other traffic was able to stop,” Judson said.

She added there will be an investigation as to why the woman jumped. She also said it is unknown whether it was a suicide at-tempt “but it is possible.”

Police Blotter

Rep. habib’s children’s healthcare bill signed into law

Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill to protect children with a rare gastrointestinal disor-der into law on May 8.

Substitute House Bill 1216, sponsored by Rep. Cyrus Habib, D-Kirkland, and Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, will move the De-partment of Health towards mandating that insurance companies cover the el-emental formula necessary to feed children who suffer from a rare gastrointestinal disorder called eosinophilia.

“It’s heartbreaking to think that a child could suffer from a major medi-cal issue like eosinophilia and that their family could

struggle to have to pay for their care,” said Habib. “In-surance companies can and should find it in their capac-ity to pay for medicine that sick children need to live.”

Those who suffer from the disorder are unable to breakdown proteins, mean-ing they must take proteins through a special formula. If the treatment must be de-livered through an invasive feeding tube, the expensive formula is generally covered by insurance. However, if the patient is able to swallow the formula, many private insurers will not cover the cost.

The treatment costs approximately $1,200 per month and many families have great difficulty cover-ing the out-of-pocket cost for the treatment. Mandat-ing insurance coverage

would help those families afford life-saving treatment for their children.

Jeff Schwartz, a parent of a child with eosinophilia, brought the issue to the attention of Habib and Frockt and testified on several occasions before legislative committees.

Schwartz’s citizen advo-cacy was a major part of the effort to rally support for the bill and demon-strated to legislators on both sides of the aisle the importance of putting this protection for families into law.

The bill would require the state Department of Health to conduct a sunrise review on requiring that all insurance plans cover treatment for eosinophilia regardless of delivery method.

The department would examine the impact on insurance plans and report back to the Legislature no later than 30 days prior to the 2014 legislative session and the Legislature would take appropriate action.

CommunityBRIEFSwoman pleads guilty to 2006 murder of Kirkland ex-boyfriend

Janjira Smith pleaded guilty May 10 to second degree murder for killing her ex-boyfriend Roger Lewis with insecticide-laced Jagermeister in Kirkland in 2006.

Smith also pleaded guilty to a charge of second degree assault for poisoning a woman who was with Lewis.

The sentence range is between 144 to 244 months in prison. Pros-ecutors will recommend 244 months when Smith, 58, is sentenced on June 28 at 1 p.m. before Judge Tim Bradshaw at the King County Courthouse, courtroom W-965.

wastemobile to visit Kirkland

All King County and city residents can safely dispose of old car batteries, oil, paint

thinner and many other household hazardous items at no cost when the Wastemobile continues its 24th year of service with a stop in Kirkland May 24-26. The Wastemobile will be in the parking lot of Fred Meyer at 12221 120th Ave. N.E., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

Residents can drop off household hazardous waste items, including pesticides, oil-based paints, automotive products (oil, antifreeze, auto batteries, etc.), fluorescent bulbs/tubes and other items free of charge.

There is no charge to drop off unwanted household hazardous waste because the service is paid for through garbage and sewer utility fees.

Residents are helping safeguard the environ-ment and public health by properly disposing of these hazardous materi-als and keeping them out of drains and landfills.

For more information about disposal, including acceptable materials and quantity limits, call the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program’s hazard’s line at 206-296-4692.
