Residents concerned about potential power lines on Rose Hill

W
ith the Seattle City Light power lines already laced throughout the South Rose Hill neighborhood, many Kirkland residents can’t imagine having more power lines in the area. But there could be. South Rose Hill residents cite aesthetics, property value, environmental impacts
and health effects as major concerns of the potential 230 kilovolt electric transmission lines, proposed by Puget Sound Energy. Puget Sound Energy officials recently announced plans for Energize Eastside, a project that will run the high voltage power lines from Redmond to Renton to accommodate the Eastside’s rapid growth. Project construction is expected to begin in 2017.
But first, Puget Sound Energy officials need to pick where the lines will be routed -- through Kirkland’s South Rose Hill and Bridle Trails neighborhoods or through east Redmond? The Kirkland portion, segment B, is one of 16 segments of power line the energy company will need to consider as they conduct a “robust” public engagement process throughout 2014. Officials expect a final
decision by the end of 2014.
Why more power lines? During the past year, city officials have announced big things for Kirkland. Doubling the size of the Kirkland Google campus, the development of the Cross Kirkland Corridor, GoDaddy offices at Carillon Point and many capital projects are only a handful

of examples that represent how the city is growing. “By 2035, Kirkland will grow by 26 percent with employment growing by 47 percent, and we know that residents in Kirkland and the rest of the Eastside are counting on us to keep the lights on,” said Puget Sound Energy Vice President of Corporate Affairs Andy Wappler, citing information from the Puget Sound Regional Council. “And that’s
what we’ll do.” The Eastside is growing faster than any other region in Washington, energy officials say, but the growth is putting a strain on the region’s existing electric system. Wappler said the expansion would serve all residents of the Eastside along the whole length of Interstate 405 and as for east as Woodinville. [ more PSE page 7 ]

Controversial Kirkland pastor Hutcherson dies at age 61 Former Seahawk was an outspoken, traditional marriage activist BY MATT PHELPS editor@kirklandreporter.com
Local pastor and former Seattle Seahawk Ken Hutcherson died Dec. 18 after battling prostate cancer for more than a decade. He was 61. Hutcherson co-founded the Antioch Bible Church in 1982 and preached in Kirkland
and Redmond. He was known to his congregation simply as “Hutch.” “The church, based on New Testament crosscultural ministries, is a leading force in the Pacific Northwest for infusing the culture with biblical truth,” said Claudia Blazer, a spokesperson. “Black and white
in a grey world’ is the statement used to describe both the church’s multi-cultural perspective and its commitment to the Bible as God’s infallible word. Hutch spent more than three decades training adults and young people to be on the offensive for Jesus Christ.”
Hutcherson was also one of the biggest activists in the nation for the traditional definition of marriage. He came to the forefront in opposition of the movement to legalize gay marriage in Washington state during 2012. “I think it is an issue that is going to become a big discussion on religious freedom [ more HUTCHERSON page 3 ]

ness late November. “It’s been great getting to serve our community,” Tiquet said. “We already have some regulars.” Tiquet named the shop after her sister’s two dogs Kona and Moka, who passed away a few years ago. “I didn’t want to have a cliche name for the shop, I wanted the name to be meaningful,” Tiquet said. “Kirkland is a very dog-friendly area so we thought it would be a good idea to represent that in our shop.”

Mary Lou Tiquet recently opened her coffee shop in late November. Kona Moka Cafe is located at 9714 Northeast Juanita Drive and is open 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. SARAH KEHOE, Reporter Newspapers said. “There are so many great places around here and I want to support them.” The coffee served at Kona Moka Cafe is from Rococo’s Coffee in Kirkland. The shop serves dessert from Laura’s Gourmet Bakery that includes brownies, cookies and mini bunt cakes. They have gluten free options and offer soy and almond milk. “The focus is on having the best products out there,” Tiquet said. And Tiquet knows about good food. She operated a whole-
sale business for a few years selling desserts to businesses, including Costco. “The vice president of Costco tried my tiramisu and decided to sell it at their store,” Tiquet said. Tiquet hopes Kona Moka visitors will have the same reaction to the desserts at the cafe. “I want this to be the place people think to stop at if they want to pick up dessert for dinner that night or for a friend’s birthday party,” she said. “I want them to know I will always have fresh, local food available.” Kona Moka Cafe is located at, 9714 Northeast Juanita Drive in Kirkland.

Tiquet also wants to have a special product for sale every month where a portion of the proceeds go to a local charity. She is thinking of selling a travel mug with the Kona Moka Cafe logo on it next month. “I really want to give back to the community in a special way,” she said.

In 2005, Hutcherson led an effort to block legislation for an antidiscrimination bill that would have made it illegal to fire someone based on sexual orientation. Hutcherson was successful in lobbying Microsoft to withdraw its support of the bill by notifying the company that it had 700 evangelical employees who were opposed to the legislation.

Kirkland lost a great community leader in Hugh Givens
K
irkland lost a great leader when Hugh Givens died Aug. 30. Hugh and his wife Mary lived in Kirkland for more than 30 years. Both were involved in Kirkland community life. They lived for many years in a beautiful home in Houghton with a garden that was the pride of the neighborhood. A few years ago, they moved to a condo in North Rose Hill. Hugh served on the Houghton Community Council from 1996-2007. Long time Houghton Community Council member, Elsie Weber, described Hugh as soft spoken but always effective: “Whether we were working on Floor Area Ratio or the Merriwether Project, Hugh always had the facts to support his position.” Hugh was the Chair of the Council three times and was respected for his ability to keep things on track. If there were disagreements, he could mediate and come to a resolution. Hugh allowed everyone to talk. “Hugh was an ‘old school’ gentleman, very polite, very popular. Everybody liked him -- he was a wonderful person to know and so intelligent,” said Weber. Hugh and I became acquainted through various community activities. He was thoughtful and wise and we enjoyed talking about various community issues. Hugh was knowledgeable and was the first to educate me about affordable housing. He saw it as part of the vibrancy of a community. Hugh was remarkable for his fairness and practicality, approaching every issue with a rational point of view. He was never judgmental and rarely political, he just saw things as being doable and problems as being solvable if people would get together. “Our relationship was simple, coming from shared experiences,” said longtime friend, Jim McElwee. “We were both engineers and managers working for the same employer, not ever working together professionally, but working on the same programs. We enjoyed hiking and bicycling, we shared social values. We were two experienced guys getting together as often as possible to swap stories and analyze the world. Hugh had one of the best analytical minds I
have had the pleasure of being around. Anyone can have an opinion on practically any topic, but to have a reasoned position one needs to understand the issues. Hugh could take the analysis of an issue one step beyond my own reckoning, creating insights which evaded me.” Jim and Hugh bonded through bicycling. “Friday night racing at the Marymoor Velodrome was a great night out for us -- two guys watching younger guys battling it out on two wheels wishing we could be out there with them,” said McElwee. “We laughed, we dreamed, we appreciated the world.” Hugh was concerned about social injustice. “One can be a good engineer, a good analyst, a good bicycler, a good talker, without caring about how other people fare, but a good friend comes from the core values of the human condition and Hugh was definitely a man of values. Our conversations were about things we both value.” Hugh suffered with Parkinson’s disease and it eventually robbed him of his ability to communicate. He was able to read and comprehend even with Parkinson’s and he read every word of several newspapers until his death. According to Mary: “Hugh had a subtle, dry sense of humor. His humor was unexpected; he was a sweet, kind, brilliant man who never felt the need to Jessica Greenway

prove himself.” Hugh was involved with Kirkland Interfaith Housing Transitions and in ministry projects with his church, Overlake Christian Church. He grieved over people in tragic circumstances, especially when children were involved. For many years, Hugh helped people who were forced to move by physically moving them himself. He volunteered for the Seven Hills of Kirkland bicycle race and it was a great regret that he never got to participate. Hugh and Mary were married for 57 years, having two sons and a daughter, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. They moved to Washington from Tennessee when Hugh was hired by Boeing. Hugh retired after more than 30 years. He worked on defense missile testing in Florida and was proud of the fact that those missiles are now stored at Langley Air Force Base, just in case they are needed, he always said. Hugh’s daughter, Julie said: “He was positive and brave about his health and how Parkinson’s affected him. He never complained, but was funny and humorous about it.” The entire family shared Hugh’s condition because he was honest and explained it. They teased him and he was a good sport. The younger children in the family were aware of Hugh’s disease and took it as a natural thing. Mary tells the story of how the family gathered before each dinner [ more GREENWAY page 9 ]

Market Street location should not be considered for marijuana location During the past month, the city of Kirkland and the Washington State Liquor Control Board have received multiple applications to open a marijuana dispensary at 1818 Market St. The location is a single family house currently zoned for mixed residential and commercial use surrounded on three sides by residences in the heart of the East and West of Market Neighborhoods. While more than 60 percent of residents in the Market neighborhoods and Kirkland voted for Initiative 502 in November 2012, we believe that this specific location is problematic in regard to numerous aspects of the law and evolving regulations.

Concerns President of the South Rose Hill Neighborhood Association Deirdre Johnson gave comments at the Kirkland City Council meeting on Dec. 10 during which the Council was briefed on the project by Puget Sound Energy officials. “I’m concerned about health,” Johnson said. “I’m also concerned about aesthetics. I’m concerned about taking trees out -- a huge
swath of trees out of Bridle Trails State Park.” Johnson said the proposed route would put 230 kilovolt power lines in the front yard of residents who already have 115 kilovolt power lines from Seattle City Light in their backyard. Johnson acknowledges there hasn’t been an update since the 1960s, but she said Energize Eastside looks like a “’60s” solution. “More power lines and towers is not creative,” she said. “If we’re addressing the future, we’re hoping they would come up with new solutions.” Puget Sound Energy officials contend that conservation alone is not enough. According to officials, the company has spent millions on energy efficiency and renewable power programs since 1979. They have helped customers save “enough electricity to power 30,000 homes in 2012.” But new solutions, such as under grounding the lines, are too expensive. South Rose Hill resident Lisa Jaffe Hubbell said the proposed Kirkland route would go up and down the street she lives on. “I haven’t done the research but I’m guessing there is a big hit in property values when the lines come to a street,” she said. Hubbell has a certified arborist who takes care of the trees on her property and is worried Puget Sound Energy officials would greatly damage the trees by topping them off. “I’m tired of seeing those orange Asplundh trucks going down the road, knowing how arbitrarily they cut,” Hubbell said, who has lived in Kirkland for 16 years. “[The certified arborists] often gasp in horror at what happens here on the Eastside compared to what happens in Seattle, where there are many beautiful old trees that don’t impact lines and cause power outages.”

Segment B, the proposed Kirkland route of electric transmission line, would start along 132nd Avenue Northeast. The route travels south until it veers west on Northeast 80th Street and continues south on122nd Avenue Northeast. The route would turn west at Northeast 70th Street until it skips across a corner, going south 116th Avenue Northeast until it intersects Bellevue. PHOTO COURTESY OF PUGET SOUND ENERGY years in the ‘80s and when I came back to visit my family, a lot had changed, cordless phones and microwaves had come,” said Storwick, a yoga teacher. “I picked up cordless phones and the feeling I felt in my hand and body, I didn’t even know the words to describe it yet, but I felt I had 10 cups of coffee, like my nerves had zapped instantly.” Storwick said she is one of few who can feel these fields and has studied them for quite some time on her own. She now runs a blog called Washington Wireless Awareness. The health impacts of low level, long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields are very controversial and continue to be studied by many scientists. National and international guidelines prevent manufacturers from creating products that give off high levels of electromagnetic fields, which have been proven to be harmful to health, according to the World Health Organization’s findings from a rather large investigation
launched in 1996. “In our homes and businesses and schools today, where we use computers, TVs, office equipment, we are subject to the same amount of electromagnetic fields,” Wappler said. “We are around devices that we use every day that produce electromagnetic fields. Today, we rely on science, and at this point the World Health Organization has found no health effects.” The World Health Organization states if these fields had any effect on cancer, the increased risk would be “extremely small.” Electromagnetic fields are strongest underneath power lines, but according to the organization, the fields drop off with distance from highvoltage lines after about 50 meters to 100 meters, or 164 to 328 feet. “In addition, house walls substantially reduce the electric field levels from those found at similar locations outside the house,” the World Health Organization’s website states.
Future Puget Sound Energy is actively acquiring representatives from across the Eastside to join the Energize Eastside Community Advisory Group so that concerns, such as the health impacts of electromagnetic fields, can be addressed. Several meetings and workshops are planned for the upcoming year. Johnson said a Puget Sound Energy speaker will be at the South Rose Hill Neighborhood Association’s next meeting at 7 p.m., Jan. 14 at the Lake Washington United Methodist Church, located at 7525 132nd Ave. NE in Kirkland. Nixon said he will also advocate for the city to have as much information on the project at their website, Kirklandwa.gov.

Wappler said only a few trees would be taken out or trimmed back but no potential segment would go through Bridle Trails State Park, only near the park on 116th Avenue Northeast. Nonetheless, Councilman Toby Nixon is a strong believer in preserving as many trees as Kirkland can, as is the Council. “They have to clear quite a swath,” Nixon said. “I don’t know the exact width but I imagine it’s 100-feet wide. If you look at the western edge of Bridle Trails State Park, that’s going to be a huge amount of trees.” Nixon said city staff is in the process of gathering more information on the environmental impact, as well as which city-owned facilities would be impacted by the potential route. Personally, Nixon said he was concerned with the transmission line’s electromagnetic interference and how it would affect TV, radio and Wi-fi reception for nearby residents. Although Nixon isn’t concerned about health impacts and more about the “quality of life,” at least two South Rose Hill residents are. “Zigzagging new transmission lines across South Rose Hill would manage to create electromagnetic fields at three schools along the route: Holy Family School, Lake Washington High School and Rose Hill Elementary,” Johnson said in an email. “A trifecta!” An electromagnetic field is a physical, yet invisible, field produced by electrically charged objects. These fields are present in everyday life and can be found near power lines, microwave ovens, computer and TV screens, security devices, radars and cell phones, to name a few. Sandra Storwick, a South Rose Hill resident who has lived in Kirkland for 10 years, is concerned about radiation. “I lived overseas for 10

Power lines as long as 18 miles would begin at the substation in Redmond by Willows Creek Neighborhood Park and make their way down to the substation at Talbot Hill near Philip Arnold Park in Renton. Depending on the route chosen, up to two new substations could be built in Bellevue. The transmission lines would be about 100-feet high, connected by monopoles. “These would be single poles, not big ‘erector set’ monsters,” Wappler said, referring to the lattice towers many think of. Depending on the length of transmission lines and final design, the cost of the project could be between $150-$300 million. Wappler said the project cost would have minimal impact on rates because it is spread over the lifetime of the project, about three or four decades. Puget Sound Energy’s last major update to the electric transmission line was in the 1960s. “These communities like Kirkland have gone from largely residential to communities with lots of job growth and economic growth,” Wappler said. Puget Sound Energy engineers tried to maximize existing corridors that already have transmission lines as they chose the potential routes. But not every route is ideal.

shops for active retirement, declaring the twilight years as the best of all times. The truth is that many retirees find it hard to stay active at all after having lived sedentary lifestyles for most of their lives. How active people will continue to be largely depends on the kind of jobs they are retiring from, according to Dr. Stephen Kritchevsky, a professor of gerontology and geriatric medicine and director of the Sticht Center of Aging at Timi Gustafson
Kirkland based consumer electronic product design and development firm Nytec held their annual pet food drive for the Seattle Animal Shelter. The firm’s more than 300 engineers donated 600 cans of dog and cat food, 25 bags of food, pet toys and other assorted supplies. The value of all donations totaled more than $1,500. The shelter has become special to Nytec and their employees. For many years the position of “Director

of Human Relations” was held by a small Maltese named Piglet, who became a familiar face for many. While the position is now empty, the food drive is a way to remember the company’s unofficial mascot. The holidays can be a tough time for shelters and Nytec is proud to assist with the non-profit’s mission of helping 6,000 area animals a year. Nytec is a heavy supporter of local charities through their corporate outreach program, and plans to continue to have the pet food drive be a signature holiday program.

Wake Forest Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. For most people, retirement is a very important change in life, which can bring about new opportunities but also pitfalls. Retirees have more time on their hands to take care of their health needs, which can yield important dividends long-term, he said to Reuters Health. But it’s not a given that everyone will begin a healthy exercise regimen if he or she has not done so before. A study from England examined differences in physical activity habits between working and retired participants and found that most of those who lead a sedentary life continued to do so after retiring, and that those who were more active in their younger years usually kept to their routines after they stopped working. Although it seems that sedentary working conditions and lifestyles prime many people for lack of movement as they grow old-

er, the slower pace of retirement can also be a “critical window” for encouraging older adults to become more active, according to Dr. Alan Godfrey, a researcher at the Institute for Ageing and Health at Newcastle University and lead author of the study report. One of the most important things retiring people must do is to plan carefully how they intend to fill their days. Pursuing old dreams, developing new interests, taking up new sports and other activities may sound wonderful, but some of those projects may be unrealistic for a number of reasons, including physical limitations and other health concerns. Naturally, the healthier and fitter you are by the time you get to your golden years, the more you will be able to accomplish. But acting ageappropriately should also be a consideration, no matter how well you have (or think you have) been able to preserve your vigor. But regardless of personal history, physical exercise is a crucial component of healthy aging. Whether you just want to feel better and have more energy, or whether longevity is your goal, age-appropriate exercise can be beneficial on multiple levels. It helps you control your weight, strengthens your immune system, enhances mobility, promotes better sleep, keeps your sex life going, and may even protect you against age-related memory loss and dementia. But the earlier you start a regular program and stick with it, the better your chances will be that it will do you a lot of good.

The existing Market Street median prevents southbound ingress for emergency vehicles coming from the closest Kirkland Fire Station, Station 26, on Market Street and Forbes Creek Road. This would also appear to violate the intent of the existing rules. We recognize that all regulatory agencies, to include the city of Kirkland and the Liquor Control Board, are attempting to navigate difficult public policy interests involving a new industry with little to no data or existing precedent to rely on. In working to establish appropriate location standards for this type of new businesses, we believe that the question that both the city and the Liquor Control Board need to ask in this situation is, “has the Liquor Control Board ever approved a site similar to 1818 Market Street’s description as the location for a state run liquor store?” If the answer is “no,” then the location is not appropriate, even before applying consideration of other concerns.

on the part of the city’s elected and appointed leadership to address the Liquor Control Board with the community’s concerns and opposition to this specific proposed location given the lack of any track record, positive or negative, in regard to this industry and the leadership’s belief that the Liquor Control Board will move forward regardless. We don’t hold the city leadership to an obligation to be successful; we do, however, believe that the leadership needs to be held to their representative and official obligations to make a good faith effort in presenting our concerns with this site to the Liquor Control Board.

budget as required by law and still increase spending to education. My question is why the Washington Education Association wants to defeat a senator who worked so hard for teachers unless teachers and students are just not that important. Consider that one-in-four students do not graduate from High School, it seems like the committee should be working hard to support Hill’s efforts on funding education. Just a thought, that is unless education, teachers and students are not their primary focus.
