Kirkland resident Henrik Wiersholm � nished his ju-nior tennis career at the US Open Junior Champion-ships tennis tournament in New York City last week de-spite su� ering from � u-like symptoms during most of the tournament. � e soon-to-be college freshman won two singles matches but lost during the third round.

“I have had a great junior career,” Wiersholm said. “I am happy to be moving on to college and I want to do big things there as well.”

Wiersholm began the tournament with a vic-tory during his � rst-round match by defeating Joao

Menezes of Brazil, 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-3, on Aug. 31.

“� e US Open is one of my last junior tournaments since I’m already in college so I’m playing pretty free

right now, which I haven’t done in a while,” said the University of Virginia freshman following his second round match. “I’m playing well and with a lot of con� dence.”

� e Kirkland native defeated Lucas Miedler of Austria 7-5, 6-7(6), 6-2 during the second round of singles play despite being sick.

“It didn’t help that it was so hellishly hot out there. But for how bad I felt, I saw a lot of people strug-gling too,” Wiersholm said. “� at kind of gave me some con� dence going into my match today. I didn’t feel like I was at a disadvantage.”

� e tournament came to an end for Wiersholm on Sept. 3 during the third round, losing to Duckhee Lee of South Korea, 6-1, 6-2.

“I’ll credit him, he played really well. He was de� -nitely ready to go,” Wier-sholm said. “He played fast, which normally I like that pace that he plays with, but I couldn’t keep up today at all.”

Wiersholm said he felt good but he was just kind of moving slow.

“I was just kind of lethar-gic today, very casual which you cannot do. It’s the US Open, you know?” Wier-sholm said.

Wiersholm played just one doubles match. He teamed with Tommy Paul of Lumberton, N.J. but lost to Yunseong Chung and Seong-chan Hong of South Korea, 6-4, 7-5 during the � rst round.

“I think I have picked one of the best spots to play so I am excited about that,” Wiersholm said following his � nal singles match. “I know that this match is not a re� ection of me as a ten-nis player but it is de� nitely a lesson to be learned. I know there are bigger and better things to be done.”

in a good way and keeping us strong. He has legions of people pulling for him. It is nice to know that when you get knocked down people have your back.”

Bob nearly died and was put into a medically-induced coma following a boating ac-cident on Aug. 19 in Tacoma. He spent nearly a month at Tacoma General Hospital but recently returned to Kirkland for out-patient care at Ever-greenHealth.

Jeff said that the support from the community has been one of the “wow” mo-ments in a terrible situation.

The outpouring of support from the community can be seen on Jeff’s Facebook page where he has been updating his father’s condition every couple of days. One post has 112 likes. But the main place that the family has referred friends and com-munity members to look for information is a blog at www.posthope.org/bobs-journey. The blog, updated by Bob’s daughter Nikki, chronicles many of the ups and downs.

The accident came at the

end of an enjoyable day out on the water with friends.

“He was invited to go out on a boat on the Sound,” Jeff said. “They were getting ready to dock and somehow he fell in and almost drowned. He tried to swim to the dock but swallowed a lot of water.”

Jeff said his father was able to get close enough so people could pull him out. CPR was then performed after Bob fell unconscious and emergency medical personnel rushed him to the hospital.

“He was talking to us at 10:45 p.m. but he was pretty badly injured,” Jeff said.

Bob’s condition worsened to the point that doctors de-cided to put him into a coma to allow his body to recover. Bob would lose a week of consciousness while his fam-ily stood vigil.

“They needed to dry out his lungs. We were pretty close to losing him,” said Jeff, who has worked as a lifeguard. “Drowning is hard on the body and when you inhale saltwater it is really hard. We just had the right people at the right time. We owe it all to the hospital staff

and the first responders.”Bringing Bob to conscious-

ness was not easy and the damage from the accident was evident from the start.

“There were little firsts here and there and then we got to a nice controlled ascension,” Jeff said.

Those little firsts included hand squeezing and wiggling toes. But there were many difficult times when they weren’t sure how well Bob would come out of it.

“He had to get his brain working again,” Jeff said. “Sometimes we would ask a question and get the correct answer and some-times they were wrong.”

Little things, such as knowing the year, did not come back to Bob very easily. Eventually, he started walking on his own and whispering became talking.

“We’re still not sure about the long-term but he is doing a lot better,” Jeff said.

Jeff and his family have

made sure that someone was at the hospital during the past month, including Bob’s wife Mary Gassen.

“They have been together for 30 or 40 years and she is a pretty strong woman,” Jeff

said. “Her attitude is a difference maker.”

Mary’s first public words came on Sept. 4, writing on the blog: “Your love, prayers, posi-tive thoughts and rosaries (yes, non-Catholics: look that up!) are so appreciated by our family as we rally

together to help Bob take his next steps. As I watched Bob hooked up to all sorts of equipment, with the special-ists reading all the metrics on display, I thought of Jeff’s tat-too: ‘Every breath … is a gift.’ The ventilator provided those breaths for Bob for 10 days. And with the expert care he received, his lungs began to resume their function. Breath is the foundation for life.”

Bob was moved back to the Kirkland area for in-

patient treatment earlier this week.

“Bob will be out on the road again today,” Nikki wrote on Sept. 6. “He’s currently in the process of getting discharged from the hospital in Tacoma … The great news is that he is well enough to be transported by private vehicle and they must trust Mary enough to let her transport him …”

But it is unclear how long Bob will have in-patient therapy.

His absence from Huma-nature Photography has been tough. Jeff, along with helping to take care of his father and working his own full-time job, has been filling in for his father at the studio.

“We are fortunate that we have a great relationship with our clients and other business owners,” Jeff said. “It has defied any vision I had when this whole thing started. It’s hard to keep everything balanced but we are all do-ing our best to keep things going.”

Jeff said the business has had some small cancellations but only lost one big event.

But Bob’s work in the community goes beyond the Humanature Photography studio on Market Street. He takes photos for nearly every big event in Kirkland, such as Kirkland Summerfest, Kirk-land Uncorked and nearly all the chamber events.

“He is the first guy we call,” said Kirkland Chamber of Commerce Executive Direc-tor Bruce Wynn. “You always see him at all the events taking photos. He is just kind of a part of Kirkland. If something is going on he is there and he is always willing to do whatever it takes to get the photo right.”

Bob, who is a member of Kirkland’s Rotary, has had a presence during many landmark events for local residents. He even foots the bill for Santa Claus to visit the city each year during the an-nual tree lighting ceremony in downtown Kirkland.

The timing of his return to Kirkland could not be more special for one Redmond resident - Mary, who will celebrate her birthday at the end of the month with her husband.

Potala Village victory will be short-lived

� is temporary victory in the use of this property [Potala Village] will be short-lived, if the owners elect to take the matter to higher courts. � e neigh-bors and those elected by them clearly feel they have the right to protect their neighborhood but, please, not at the sole expense of this single property owner.

If you would take the time to read Supreme Court decisions on similar takings you will � nd a long history of the court siding with the property owner and against the taking agency.

Make no mistake this is a regulatory taking of property rights which cause a demonstrable loss to the owners and as time is delayed these costs and the cost to litigate this matter fall directly on all of the tax payers in Kirkland.

Please take a half an hour and read a case on point.

https://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/US/482/482.US.304.85-1199.html

� ere are many other cases and each restrict the regulator powers of communities to down zone, restrict and take land from private property owners without compensation.

In the case above the agency had to pay for the land taken and for the loss of its use during the moratorium.

It would be a lot cheaper and less time consum-ing if the million-dollar home owners and city got together to purchase the site at today’s values then they can rezone and place any restriction on it they want or make it a park.

You believe you can have your cake and eat it too? � is may not be the case and the rest of the community should not be forced to fund these actions.William Costanzo, Kirkland

Lobsang Dargey’s Potala project needs design changes

During the past week, the attorney for Lobsang Dargey and Path America called the city of Kirk-land and le� a message seeming to indicate that her client had already gone through design review and thus should not have to go through a design review hearing again.

Here’s the link to the design review meetings for the last � ve-to-six years. No Potala Village DRB that I can see. A� er all this time did she think citizens wouldn’t check this claim? http://www.kirklandwa.gov/depart/planning/Boards_and_Commissions/DRB_Meeting_Information.htm

Why is Design Review so important?First, the EIS consultant commented on the

proposed ground � oor elevation where the build-

ing was set below the sidewalk in order to achieve an additional story. � is made the building about 33 percent bigger than it would have been at only three stories. � eir comment was that “proposed ground � oor elevation would be below grade along Lake Street South and is out of character with the surrounding neighborhood.” � e consultant also notes “inconsistencies exist with [Comprehensive Plan] policies LU 1.3 and LU 5.9 which seek to ensure that development is compatible in scale and character with the surrounding area.” Additionally, the Kirkland City Council clari� ed with [Planning Director] Eric Shields earlier in the year that requir-ing a building to be at sidewalk grade was within the purview of the Design Review Board. A build-ing submerged below grade is by itself bad design, but when it further exacerbates other problems of size, scale and massing, it becomes a hugely negative design � aw.

Second, the EIS consultant also stated that the “proposed building size and mass appear to be larger and out of scale, compared with surround-ing development.” � is is another design � aw that makes the building proposal in con� ict with the Comprehensive Plan and city policies.

� ird, the EIS consultant’s comment about the building footprint was similar: “Proposed build-ing footprint is larger and lot coverage higher than much of the develop-

The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is excited for the 2014-15 school year! � is year we welcome more than 2,000 new

kindergartners into our district and will prepare nearly 1,600 12th graders for graduation in 2015. All totaled, more than 26,000 K-12 students entered Lake Washington schools on Tuesday. Our teachers and sta� s are prepared to help every student to be future ready.

As a school district, we are more than just a collection of schools. We are an educational system, with learning as our core business. Our district mission and vision makes student learning and achievement our top priority. On average, Lake Washington students score 16 percent higher in reading and 22 percent higher in math than their peers across the state on state accountability measures. We know that annual test scores are just one measure of student performance. We are working hard to ensure that every day, all students experience meaningful learning that helps them to learn, grow and succeed.

Our values and strategic goals guide our district work. Four core values drive our district culture. We are: student centered, learning focused, community connected and results oriented. Our � ve strategic goals align to our four core values. You can learn more about our � ve-year strategic plan on our district website, at www.lwsd.org.

Since learning is our district’s core business, we believe in investing in the ongoing learning of our professionals so they can do their very best work in service of our students. � is summer, our o� ce professionals, custodians, bus drivers, new teachers and returning teachers, building administrators and district administrators all participated in in-service training and professional learning workshops. You can see some great pictures of professional learning in action on our district Facebook page.

In addition to participating in extensive August

learning sessions, all brand-new teachers are as-signed a consulting teacher, who works alongside the new teacher to provide job-embedded mentor-ing, coaching and support. � is year we were also able to add some instructional coaches and literacy coaches to support the ongoing learning of our experienced teachers. By focusing on sta� profes-sional learning, we will be able to improve learning for our students.

In addition to student and professional learn-ing, we focus on organizational learning. We are continually examining our systems, structures, practices and policies to improve as an organization. Listening, open communication, engagement and transparency with our parents and community is critical for our ability to learn and thrive as an or-ganization. � is year, we are continuing to expand our communication and community engagement e� orts. As a new practice, we are inviting parents to participate on curriculum committees. We have a number of curriculum adoptions on the horizon, including grades 6-8 science, 9-12 science and 6-8 mathematics.

We will also be convening a facility advisory committee this fall to help us learn the desires and priorities of the community with respect to building facilities. Our enrollment continues to grow and we added 10 more portables across the district this summer to house our growing student population. We need to develop a long-term plan for housing students and we need to better understand what the community wants and is willing to support. To address growth in the short term, we need to adjust attendance boundaries for the 2016-17 school year. � is process will begin early this fall and there will be many opportunities for parents and commu-nity members to be engaged. Please look for more information on both the boundary process and the facility advisory committee coming soon.

LWSD is honored to serve students throughout Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish and it is a privilege to serve as superintendent.

Dr. Traci Pierce is the superintendent for the Lake Washington School District, which serves all public schools in Kirkland.

ment in the surrounding area.”

Of interest is the fact that the building footprint was so large that there was no place but the curb of Lake Washington Boulevard and Lake Street South for garbage and recycle pick up. � at pickup seemed scheduled for four-to-� ve days a week and depends on someone to roll trash in and out. � en, to make matters worse, sometime a� er the EIS evaluated the project, the developer submitted plans for a footprint that was not smaller, but more than 10 percent larger than the footprint that EIS consultants say they evaluated! DRB .... Please pay special attention to these issues! � is is not good design!

Fourth, there is more from the EIS Consultants. Remember these are not citi-zens, as a matter of fact they are paid for by the developer: “Visual prominence of the

proposed parking garage entrance is generally out of character with surrounding development.”

Early on [the neighbors] noted a courtyard that had a fountain, sitting area and other “community gathering space” that was aligned with the premise of Residential Markets and Neighborhood Businesses. But then, because the developer wanted to put the driveway on Lake Street rather than 10th plan, the driveway ended up cutting the courtyard in two. � ere no longer appears to be a plan for a fountain or the seating. Garbage pick up locations are now in a large portion of this area – not great to look at.

� is is all bad design.Fi� h, the EIS consultants

state that perimeter retain-ing walls are out of character with the surrounding area.

Sixth and � nally, citizens have noted that City’s Com-prehensive Plan and Zoning Codes identify functional uses for our city streets and

specify what each may be used for. When a develop-ment is done where there is both a neighborhood access street (appropriate for ingress and egress) or a principal arterial (not appropriate for ingress and egress), a design that uses the wrong street is bad design.

We welcome design re-view. Please help Mr. Dargey provide a development that is designed appropriately for the surrounding area as required by LU 1.3 and LU 5.9.

I’ve tried to sum up the design review concerns that were put forward by independent reviewer as well as the driveway concerns and loss of common open space.

I’d love to hear your com-ments or other things to bring before Design Review Board. Please email me your thoughts and I’ll include them in citizen responses to the Design Review Board [email protected] Levenson, Kirkland

Student gets new tra� c signal at LWHS

In May 2014, Taylor Hol-liday, a Lake Washington High School senior, made a request to the Kirkland City Council for a tra� c signal with a le� -turn arrow for westbound tra� c to enter

the school. Holliday presented the

Council a petition with more than 350 signatures from current students and alumni. She also gathered comments about the need for the tra� c signal adjust-ment and expressed that the lack of the signal adds risks for inexperienced drivers.

� e Kirkland Public

Works Street Division added an arrow to the exist-ing tra� c signal which was operational in time for the � rst day of school on Sept. 2. � e modi� ed signal now shows a le� -turn arrow for westbound tra� c on North-east 80th Street, giving drivers the ability to enter the school, while eastbound drivers yield to a the light.

September is National Life Insurance Aware-ness Month. More than

100 insurance companies and industry trade groups are expected to participate in the National Life Insurance Awareness Month campaign.

While many Americans

recognize that it is important to protect loved ones with life insurance, far too many lack adequate coverage. National Life Insurance Awareness Month is intended to prompt Americans to assess their life insurance needs.

Today, women have more

� nancial responsibilities than ever before. How will your family or loved ones manage � nancially if you die? Whether you are single, married, employed, or a stay-at-home mom, you probably need life insurance. At the very least, life insurance

can help pay for the costs of funeral and burial services, estate administration, out-standing debts, estate taxes, and the uninsured expenses of a � nal illness.

Who needs life insurance?

Working women Increasingly, families

depend on the income of two working parents. If you’re

a working mother, your income can have a signi� cant impact on the qual-ity of your fam-ily’s lifestyle. Your income helps cover the cost of ordinary living expenses such as food, clothing, and utilities, and it provides savings for your children’s college educa-tion, and for your retirement. Life insurance protects your family by providing proceeds

that can be used to replace your lost income if you die

prematurely.

Single women

O� en, women, like men, think that it’s not necessary to buy life insur-

ance because they have no dependents. What’s o� en overlooked is that life insur-

ance can provide necessary funds to pay o� car loans, education loans, debts, a mortgage, taxes and funeral expenses that might other-wise be the responsibility of family members. Also, the cash value of permanent life insurance may be used to supplement retirement income.

Single momsWhether you’re divorced,

widowed, or simply a single mom, you’re most likely pri-marily responsible for your child’s support. If you die prematurely, life insurance can provide ongoing income to cover child-care costs, medical expenses, debts, and future college costs.

Stay-at-home moms

Maintaining a household is a full-time job, and you have many important roles and duties. � e cost of the services performed by a stay-at-home mom could be quite signi� cant if someone had to be hired to do them. If you die, your surviving spouse may have to pay for services such as child care, transporta-

tion for your children, and housekeeping. Taking over these added responsibilities could cause your spouse to shorten work hours, resulting in a reduction in income. Proceeds from your life in-surance can help your spouse pay for services that keep the household running and allow your spouse to keep working.

Family caregiverMany women � nd them-

selves providing care for both children and elderly family members. Caring for an aging parent or family member can include paying for the costs of adult day care, uninsured medical expenses, and extra trans-portation. Adding these ex-penses to the costs of main-taining a household, child care, and college tuition can be � nancially overwhelm-ing. Unfortunately, these added � nancial responsi-bilities o� en continue a� er your death. Life insurance provides a source of funds that can be used to help pay for these expenses.

Business ownerYou may be one of the

increasing number of women business owners.

brief verbal altercation took place before Kat-koff and his friend left the park, the documents

continue.The family contacted

police and the man was found and arrested a few blocks from the park.

“The girl is fine and the mother is probably more shook up than the daughter at this point,” Kirkland Police Sgt. Rob Saloum said on Sunday. “When he was taken into custody he didn’t want to speak with us.”

The man refused to cooperate with law enforcement and gave no motive for his actions. Court documents state that Katkoff told police post Miranda rights that “it looked like a bad situation,” but would not elaborate on why he left the balcony of the res-taurant and attempted to take the girl. He did tell police he suffers from a bi-polar disorder.

The man was arrested on suspicion of kid-napping but according to police he will most likely face assault charges. Police are investigating whether the man has any further mental health issues.

Katkoff had a second hearing on Wednesday in King County Supe-rior Court after Reporter deadline.

The Kirkland City Council has amend-ed a zoning code to

place a cap on the amount of � nes for code viola-tions, as well as clarify the enforcement process.

� e amendment in

Chapter 1.12 Code En-forcement, approved at the council’s Sept. 2 meeting, changes the maximum amount the city can im-pose in � nes per violation from a previously unlim-ited amount to $10,000.

Eric Shields, the plan-ning director for the

Planning and Community Development Department, said the amendment is also intended to stream-line the procedure for dealing with code violations as well as the manner in which � nes and penalties are assessed.

“� e process is that an en-forcement o� cer will talk to the person who is the potential viola-tor and then determine the violation has oc-curred,” he said. “� ey notify the violator…the violator either says, ‘Okay, we will work out a volun-tary compliance agree-ment, or the violator can decide to not do anything.

We then take the matter to the hearing examiner.”

� e examiner can then impose � nes if they � nd

there is an actual violation go-

ing on, he explained.

With the new amend-ment, penal-ties in some

circumstances can also be

reduced, though it also allows for the city to keep record of noncompli-ance on the property.

An Aug. 21 city memo addressed to City Manag-er Kurt Triplett stated that due to the limitless ceiling on � nes, they can accu-mulate to the point where sta� will simply send the case to collections.

“� e preferred out-come of sta� is always code compliance and not collection of � nes,” the memo stated.

Redmond has a maximum civil penalty of $1,000 for each violation, according to the memo. Bellevue and Bothell have no maximum ceil-ing. Snohomish County has a $10,000 ceiling for noncommercial viola-tions.

Woodmark Hotel to introduce Woody Meg

The Woodmark Hotel and Spa, located at Caril-lon Point, will introduce Woody Meg, a black Labrador retriever, to the property and its guests during Yappier Hour from 5-7 p.m. on Sept. 15. As a member of the Woodmark team, Woody Meg will attentively greet guests as they arrive to our pet-friendly lakefront destination.

Woody Meg’s official title is the “Woodmark Hotel Director of Bar-keting.” While short on professional experience, her recent training and well-earned pedigree should aid her transition to management.

Woody Meg is respon-sible for developing and implementing the barket-ing plan and overseeing the barketing department to create an even more

dog-friendly atmosphere. Owing to her technical

prowess and understand-ing of the latest barketing trends, Woody Meg finds joy in welcoming all of the Woodmark’s favorite guests with a wagging tail and wet kisses (if desired).

Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students im-proved their average scores on state standardized tests in many grades in reading, writ-ing, math and science.

Scores rose in close to two-thirds of the grade/con-tent area, continuing general upward trends.

“I’m so pleased to see our scores continue on a positive trend,” said Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce in an LWSD press release.

� ese scores also deter-mined whether schools met the federal standards for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Since the U.S. Depart-ment of Education rescinded a waiver for the state of Washington, it must meet the standard of the No Child Le� Behind Act (NCLB). � at law required that 100 percent of all students meet state standards by 2014. If a school does not have every single student at standard, they could still qualify to meet AYP if their scores were within the margin of error of 100 percent or if they showed su� cient improvement in both reading and math in all subgroups since the 2010-11 school year.

Eleven LWSD schools made AYP through the adjusted percentage based on the margin of error — show-ing signi� cant improvement in scores or in the case of one school, having too few students tested in the speci� c grades.

� e schools that made AYP were Horace Mann, Norman Rockwell and Rosa Parks elementary schools, Explorer Community School, Stella Schola Middle School and Tesla STEM High School, Environmental & Adventure School, Futures School, International Com-

munity School, Kirk Elemen-tary School and Kirkland Middle School in Kirkland.

Nineteen schools did not make AYP but were not moved to “in improvement” status since this was the � rst year they did not meet the standard. Twenty-one schools are in one of the � ve steps of the in improvement status.

Kathryn Reith, commu-nications director for LWSD, said if a school falls under the Title I category — meaning it serves a high number or

percentage of low-income families — and is in improve-ment, they have to allow parents the choice to transfer their students to another school that is not in improve-ment.

Reith said there are � ve Title I schools in the district — two of which are in Red-mond (Redmond and Albert Einstein elementary schools).

“We are not a high-poverty district,” she said.

Special to the Reporter

The call of the wild comes when it will and whisks people

away for unknown adventures in remote parts of the world, but that adventure rarely kicks off in the center of Kirkland.

The ALCAN 5000, a 4,310 mile road-borne journey from Kirkland to Anchorage, Ak., dropped the checkered flag to finalize the race on Aug. 26 with around 50 participants hav-ing made their way east of Lake Washington. Veteran ALCAN driver Gary Webb, and Peter Schneider, driver and navigator of a Subaru Impreza designated ‘Car 1’ finished first overall, including motorcycles.

“[Webb and Schneider] are incredibly consis-tent and that’s what it takes,” said Jerry Hines, AL-CAN Rally Mas-ter and member of Rainier Auto Sports Club (RASC) who organizes the event.

“Gary … has said repeatedly, ‘You can’t come expecting to win – winning is a gift because nothing is guaranteed,” Hines said. “It just takes one little mistake to lose it.’”

Even though the AL-CAN is a race, organiz-ers loath to designate it as such; participants

do not speed and stay within posted limits (or under them). As a Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rally, competitors are given route instructions that guide them to and through checkpoints, with either the time or distance given and the navigator calculating when they should cross the checkpoint for opti-mal points.

If the participant has too quick of a pace points are deducted, too slow and they won’t earn any.

The whole ALCAN is not a rally, although there are long drives to enjoy the scenery be-tween TSD rally sections.

“If [Webb] didn’t enjoy the trip, he’d never do it,” Hines said. “Even our winner, who is very serious about winning, does this because of the adventure.”

The competition cycle is every other year and the ALCAN has many entrants, though not everyone is there for the competition. Many are there to be along for the

ride.“There’s so much

excitement, it was fantastic to get to know the people [who] we were

rallying with...” said Jan Frolic, navigator

for the 1961 Triumph TR4. “It was pretty much endless, it was nine days of adrenaline!”

The route goes along some of the most remote forests in Canada, through the Alcan and Top of the World Highways to Klondike, Denali, and Dalton – with a quick jaunt across the Arctic Circle.

Of course, that’s if drivers can get there. With an average of 500 miles a day for the nine-day rally, the trip can have a few unintended events pop up along the way. For Burgess, Frolic and their TR4, that came as a recently installed head gasket gave them is-sues and they had to call from across Canada and have one flown in and hand delivered.

“It was super emotion-al [at the finish line], be-cause we had really been motivated by someone who had been on the TR forum and passed away just a few weeks before we left,” Jan said. “Wher-ever we ended, we’d have a glass of champagne and a Havana cigar for him – and we did.”

Burgess and Frolic raised funds via the AL-CAN for cancer through Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer.

According to Hines, a motorcycle had a head gasket issue as well, but instead of calling around for spares the motorcy-clist purchased a new bike and finished the race.

This year’s ALCAN 5000 competed during the summer, however the next ALCAN adventure, two years from now, will be a winter excursion. Planning for the com-ing winter ALCAN has already concluded and applications are available upon request. The next race will be in February 2016.

As for this year, out of the 11 cars and 41 motorcycles that entered, most made it to the fin-ish line. Many of those vehicles were in the

‘tour’ category – along for the amazing ride through two countries and more than 4,310 miles, along the Alaskan Canadian Highway.

Competing in the AL-CAN 5000 is not about trophies, it’s not about winning … According to most ALCAN par-ticipants, going on the ALCAN 5000 is about adventure, the things seen along the way and the company – whether by your side or in your thoughts.

From Alaska to Kirkland in memory of a good friendThe ALCAN takes car enthusiasts on a 4,310 miles scenic adventure

While Jan and Tim Burgess, the competitors in the TR4, did not win the ALCAN 5000 race but they did have a glass of champagne and a Havana cigar at the � nish line in memory of a recently lost friend. COURTESY PHOTO, Jan Frolic and Tim BurgessALCAN

LW football crushes Hazen

� e Lake Washington High School football team got the season o� to a good start Sept. 4 with a 32-12 vic-tory against Hazen at home.

But the Kangs did not have a good start to the game, fall-ing behind 12-0 by the start of the second quarter thanks to a sustained touchdown drive by the Renton team and a fumble recovery that was returned 98 yards for a score.

A � ve-yard touchdown run by LW’s Riley Simonson cut the lead to just � ve points.

� e Kangs regrouped at hal� ime and came out throw-ing the ball. Quarterback DJ Mann found Spencer Muller for a 30-yard touchdown pass to take a two-point lead. � e Kangs struck again on their next possession, as Mann � n-ished o� the drive by throw-ing a seven-yard touchdown pass to Braun Inslee.

Elliot Phillips took over the fourth quarter for Lake Washington. � e senior run-ning back found the end zone from ten-yards out but it was the last score of the game that most fans will remember as he sprinted 70 yards for a touchdown.

� e Kangs will host Blan-chet at 5 p.m. tonight.

Juanita pounds Vikings, 44-6

� e Juanita High School football team began the 2014 season like they began last year - with a blowout win against Inglemoor.

� e Rebels traveled to Bothell to take on the Vi-kings, winning 44-6.

No further results were reported.

Juanita will travel to McKenzie Stadium to take on Mountain View High School at 8 p.m. tonight.

all the construction with the capital campaign. We started early because we had to.”

In addition to their head-quarters, FOY also built facility in Totem Lake, as well as Redmond.

The facilities are designed to help homeless youth stay off the streets. While family conflicts are the number one reason, high unem-ployment makes it difficult for them to find work, particularly 18-year-olds whose families are unable to support them.

“Kids were hit dispropor-tionately in the economy,” she said. “Families were in conflict, kids were being asked to leave. Kids didn’t have enough income to support. There were a lot of reasons the economic downtown really exacer-bated the situation.”

Heroin use has also required FOY to provide counseling to help teens

and young adults overcome drug addiction.

Despite the increase in need, Pottmeyer says she sees a brighter future. Part-nerships include youth ser-vices at both King County and Snohomish County, as well as Auburn, which al-lows them to collaborate.

“We are making sure we are providing a regional support network, so a youth who gets help from one agency can get help in another,” she said. “That’s a source of optimistic and hope. It’s really a solvable

problem.”

A 65-year-old Kirkland man died Sept. 4 after

rear-ending a car while riding his motorcycle on Interstate 5 near Lynwood, according to an accident report by the Washington State Patrol.

William R. Milne was riding northbound on I-5 south of 164th Street Southeast when he rear-ended the left side of a Toyota at around 7:42 a.m. The Toyota was driven by a 32-year-old Edmonds man, the report said. Traffic had slowed down in that area when the accident occurred.

Milne died after being transported to Provi-dence Hospital. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, ac-cording to the Washing-

ton State Patrol report. The Edmonds man was not injured.

No charges have been filed.

Kirkland man dies in i-5 accidentDefendants plead guilty in 2013 Kirkland home invasion

Two men have pled guilty in connection with a home invasion attack at a Kirkland residence in October 2013.

Vincent Sisounong, 22, and Blessing Gainey, 20, have each pled guilty as charged to attempted murder in the first degree

and burglary in the first degree, with deadly weapon enhancements, for randomly breaking into a Kirkland residence and attacking an 18-year-old man who was staying at his family’s home.

The defendants were armed with knives when they threatened to kill the victim and then stabbed him in the legs, shoulder and head. Sisounong told detectives that he and Gainey broke into the home of complete strang-ers with the intent to kill.

Sisounong said he wanted the victim to “fight for his life.” Sisounong pled guilty on Monday and

Gainey entered a guilty plea on Sept. 5.

They each face a sen-tence range of more than 25 years in prison.

Prosecutors will recom-mend a top of the range sentence for both. Sen-tencing is scheduled for Oct. 10 at 1 p.m. before Judge Jean Rietschel in at the King County Court-house.

The case was handled by Senior Deputy Prosecutor Alex Voorhees, Deputy Prosecutor Jessica Manca, and paralegal Jill Carter. Detectives Adam Haas and Derek Hill of the Kirkland Police Department investi-gated the case.

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 quan- tity 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 de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
