Police and Courts begin move into new Kirkland Justice Center City officials offer tours of new Public Safety Building tomorrow BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
T
he grand opening of the Kirkland Public Safety Building (KPSB) this Saturday will present the Kirkland Police Department (KPD) with a situation it hasn’t faced in a long time; more space than they need. Also known as the Kirkland Justice Center, Kirkland
residents are invited to tour the building at 11750 NE 118th St. in the Totem Lake Neighborhood on Saturday from 1-4 p.m. The KPSB will house both the police department and the municipal court, which is currently located across the street. The transition to the KPSB is seen by both City Hall and KPD officials as a necessary move that reflects the large population growth Kirkland
underwent in recent years due to annexation. KPD Cpt. Mike Ursino said space became a major issue after the city annexed Finn Hill, North Juanita and Kingsgate in 2011, which added 30,000 more residents to the city. As a result, the department hired roughly 40 more officers and support staff, adding more personnel to its 15,000 square feet of space in City Hall. With

EvergreenHealth starts five-year sponsorship of KITH fundraiser BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
It is said that Memorial Day marks the unofficial start to summer. For some, the EvergreenHealth 7 Hills of Kirkland cycling event marks the beginning of summer athletic events in the Puget Sound area. “It is a good way to kick your butt into gear if you’re behind on training,”
said Lucas Donigan of Seattle, who has participated in the 7 Hills event each of the last three years. “It is a good way to kick off the summer cycling season but I have never done it on a sunny day.” And while the morning hours on Monday were overcast and gloomy, most of the 939 riders saw sunny skies by the end of the day. “It was disappointing
because we were about 300 riders lower than we were expecting,” KITH Executive Director Jennifer Barron said. “It was supposed to rain but it turned out to be one of the best days of the weekend.” The 15th anniversary brought good news for event organizers, as EvergreenHealth signed on to be the title sponsor for the next five years according
to event coordinator Bill Fores. Proceeds raised by the event go to help nonprofit Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing or KITH, which helps those who are homeless and families who are at-risk. This year’s event raised $83,830. “We are excited to partner with EvergreenHealth. It is a way for us to partner and foster healthy families in our community. They are an amazing [ more KITH page 2 ]

course - approximately 40 miles of peaks and valleys through Kirkland, Kenmore, Woodinville and Redmond - was a good challenge. “It is an awful lot of hills,” Minerva said. “But it is a cool way to see Kirkland.” Fores said there were some changes to the course this year, as a rest stop at EvergreenHealth was added and a course change on Education Hill. “There were some safety issues so we rerouted riders around a spot where we have had some riders crash,” said Fores. Cyclists from as far away as Minnesota came to Kirkland for the event. The traditional 7 Hills of Kirkland route starts at Marina Park in downtown Kirkland, travels north on Market Street, up Finn Hill along Northeast Juanita Drive, down through Holmes Point, north to Kenmore along Northeast Juanita Drive, back south through the North Juanita Neighborhood of Kirkland, through Kingsgate, over Evergreen Hill, down through Woodinville, south through Redmond and back into Kirkland over Rose Hill, south to the Kirkland boundary with Bellevue and back to Marina Park on Lake Washington Boulevard.

example, one auction site offers a polychrome wood figure of Guanyin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, for $1.3 million. Russell sells the same statue, albeit from a different period, for $48,000. In addition to China, Russell said they take trips to Japan and Taiwan four to five times a year, where they visit the countryside and cities and handpick each item they decide to take back and sell in America. Russell, who owns the gallery with his wife, Doreen, said he first got into the import business after a trip to Korea with a friend from school in Los Angeles. Although the country was still in ruins due to the Korean War in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he said he fell in love with the people and culture. He also bought a few items and brought them home. He soon found himself traveling to other Far East countries, buying items, and then selling them back in America where he discovered there was a demand for it. For Russell, the gallery also offers a rich history of the items in question to their customers, who he said tend to be well educated and well-traveled. All their items one-hundred-years-old or more are regarded as antiquities and are fully documented and certified. He said he has 2,000 catalog books for all the antiques in their inventory. “I sometimes think half of what we sell is education,” he said. “The other half is the item.” Cindy Curren, one of the managers at the gallery, said the decor they offer complements the cultural tastes of people not only in Seattle but on
the Eastside. “I think it has strong appeal in this area,” she said. “It mixes well. It’s almost part of the Pacific Northwest.” Before moving to Kirkland, the gallery had operated out of Union Station in Seattle’s International District, where Jim Russell first opened the business in 1966. They later moved to Issaquah before settling in Bellevue. When they discovered they had to move out of the building on Bellevue’s historic Main Street, Russell said they had difficulty finding an appropriate
location that would provide the space they needed at the right price. Because the majority of his patrons come from Bellevue, Kirkland and Seattle, he was eager to keep the gallery in the area where it could be easily accessed. After looking in areas throughout the Eastside, Russell discovered Totem Lake Malls, which had a 21,000 square foot space available. “In 48 years, we’ve been up and down like a yo-yo,” he said. “You just have to say you’re going to make it work and do what you have to do to make it happen.”

EDITORIAL
Opinion page is for all opinions
O
Matt Phelps
ne of the biggest reasons I enjoy being the editor of the Kirkland Reporter is our active opinion page. Kirkland residents care about their community, have strong beliefs and are not afraid to express them. I believe in freedom of speech above all else and there are very few forums like a newspaper’s opinion page. It is not like Facebook where all you read are your friends’ opinions and beliefs. After all, most surround themselves with people who have relatively the same views. Most people won’t discuss hot-button issues or political beliefs in a public forum like Facebook for fear of alienating their friends or family. Twitter is a little more broad. You can communicate with more people and have your post re-tweeted to a wider swath of the public sphere. But Twitter is confining in its 140-character limit and, again, most of the time you are reading the views of people you follow. Most people do not seek out their political opposite. In this day-and-age of free and abundant media, the echo chamber of cable news, blogs and talk radio blur the lines between opinion and unbiased journalism. It sensationalizes the news to make it entertaining, gain the largest following and make the most money. Attempting to report in an unbiased manner is not as lucrative. Most newspapers, the Kirkland Reporter included, attempt to keep opinions separate from news coverage. The opinion page in the Reporter is clearly marked and so are columns. Both are the opinion of the writer and the writer alone. Open and honest exchanges of ideas is what democracy is all about. The media echo chamber is detrimental to the system. I strive to make sure the Reporter is not a part of that echo chamber. The opinion page is for opinions and the rest of

Not going to surrender values to homosexual community KIRKLAND
the paper, with the exception of clearly marked columns, is for our attempt at unbiased news coverage. During the past month some readers have criticized the Reporter for printing certain letters or guest editorials. They have even threatened the paper for some of the letters printed. They have accused the paper, and some have pointed the finger directly at me, of printing some letters and opinions and not others. This is simply not the case. Since I have been editor we have published every letter received and have been as open as possible to printing guest editorials from the community. We print every letter, column and editorial on our website. We also make every attempt to publish all letters in the print edition. Obviously, we have limited space in print. I have even taken the extra step to not print my editorial in favor of getting every possible letter into the print edition. I believe you would prefer to hear what your neighbors have to say. It also allows for a more diverse number of voices in our paper and
I expected a squeal from someone in the homosexual community in response to my April 17 letter. I did not expect that it would be a personal attack. Mr. Nelson’s letter is a good example of what they do whenever they perceive a slight. They throw slime at everybody and everything, and invoke arguments of religious and political bias even though my letter did not mention those subjects. Mr. Nelson challenged my knowledge of the Constitution not aware that I have a background in that discipline. He mistakenly assumed that I referred only to national TV programs, but my observations also include local news, Seattle political figures, and Republican officials. He believes that the Reporter should cover just Kirkland news, but he apparently never reads the entire paper. Two examples: the editorial just above his letter discusses regional water issues; and an article on page 19 is about elderly living in New York and Japan. Mr. Nelson should understand that there are many straight people in Kirkland and elsewhere who are not going to surrender our values to coercion by the homosexual community. Finally, I must observe that the most obnoxious part
of his letter is his arrogance in threatening the Reporter if it does not publish what he wants. I hope he follows through with his threat to take it to the publisher. I also hope the publisher tells him to stuff it.

Potala Village trash problem remains unresolved Footage in the May 23 KIRO news broadcast has our city claiming that “leaders” resolved the trash problem with Potala Village. Yet this is simply untrue. Who are they kidding? Immediately following an email from city staff, the citizens asked for the drawing of the new proposal. Yes, one small portion of the issue is resolved. Waste Management trucks will be pulling into the Potala Village driveway and picking up trash from a location that is pushed back from the sidewalk a bit. What is still wrong: 1. Numerous trash and recycle containers appear to still be in the Shoreline Jurisdiction area and still appear that they will be visible from the scenic walkway. They don’t appear to be meeting zoning code requirements about shielding in a way that they cannot be seen. 2. The trash and recycle containers are expected to be visible four to five days a week.
Then it is up to neighbors to complain if trash is left out too long. We cannot find any penalty for trash left out too long. Maybe there is one, not sure. No provisions exist for trash if the developer decides to not have a management company who facilitates trash-bin transport back to the garage area. 3. Bye, bye more courtyard common open space. The new location seems to be in some of the area that was supposed to be a welcoming courtyard to address the focus of BN zoning on providing neighborhood service businesses and community gathering spaces. So, I guess we now all crowd around the trash receptacles. Nice! Anyone got a bottle of cheap wine and some marshmallows to roast over the trashcan fire? Now I call that a community gathering fit for trash cans put into the courtyard! Why is this happening? Why doesn’t the developer provide for both a trash area out of sight and places for loading and unloading of other commercial deliveries and moving vans? Did anyone notice that this building is bigger than the one that went through the EIS process to fulfill SEPA? Where is the supplemental EIS? This is a lot larger and consequently does not have appropriate places for trash and service vehicles. These negative impacts did not go through the EIS process or SEPA. Heads up city officials!

wanted to make sure stuff got done right.” The building includes a jail of 55 beds for misdemeanors, eliminating the need to transport suspects to the King County Jail. The building also has a lead-free, 10-bay firing range that enables officers to practice shooting from vehicles. Until now, officers have had to drive to other firing ranges in order to get certified. According to city documents, from 2010 to 2012, KPD spent a total of $46,279 in firing range rental fees. The firing range cost $1.3 million and required additional funding from surplus sales tax revenue. The KPSB also includes a weight room, a maintenance facility for police vehicles and a room to hold all 30,000 pieces of evidence the KPD currently has, which will be stored on an old Costco racking system. The other 18,000 square feet of the building contains two large courts and one smaller court. Overall, the layout of the building is designed so that suspects can be processed and detained in two-hour holding cells, held
A 28-year-old woman was arrested after she hit an occupied vehicle at the intersection of Northeast 132nd Street and 124th Avenue Northeast. The victim and a witness followed the woman to an apartment complex. When she was contacted by police they found her highly intoxicated.

in a jail cell for misdemeanors, interrogated and brought to court under the same roof. The building was formerly a Costco Home store, then later a My Home Wholesale. When the lease ended, the city purchased it from the owners and began remodeling it last year. The total bill for the city is estimated to be $41 million. Ursino said it would have cost more if the city had opted instead to build a new building from scratch. “We were economically responsible without sacrificing use,” he said. The building also includes a multi-purpose room that is designed for community members and organizations to use. Ursino said he hopes residents touring the building will be satisfied with how their tax dollars were spent. “I want them (residents) to see a class building, state of the art, yet without being elaborate,” he said. “We did an awesome job. We were conscious of the money we were spending.” The police department plans to begin moving equipment and staff over to the building in June. If all goes as planned, Ursino said, everything will be moved by

City considering bid for 9/11 memorial sculpture
May 17 DUI: 12:25 a.m., 11900 block of Slater Ave NE. A 36-year-old man was arrested after he was stopped in traffic for making an unsafe lane change.

he city of Kirkland is set to bid $13,500 on a 9/11 memorial bronze sculpture that could possibly be located in Juanita Beach Park. Before anything is set in stone, however, the City Council is looking for community feedback. During its May 22 meeting, the Council voted unanimously to approve a bid for the Spirit of America 9/11 Memorial Sculpture. The Kirkland Cultural Arts Commission first considered the idea in April after being informed by a resident, and they eventually recommended it to the Parks Board. Several
DUI: 12:50 a.m., 13000 block of NE 170th Place. A 29-year-old man was arrested after he was stopped for speeding and failing to stay in his lane. He displayed signs of intoxication during the field sobriety test and was arrested for DUI. He took two breathalyzer tests, which showed a blood alcohol level of .121 and .141. Warrant: 9:05 a.m., 11200 block of 124th St. A 24-year-old woman was arrested for a misdemeanor warrant out of Everett. The woman was staying at a hotel under a 32-year-old man’s name. The woman had been advertising on Backpages and tnaboard as SexxyAlicia. After she was taken into custody the woman provided a written statement on other activities. The police did not have enough evidence to charge for prostitution, and when questioned the woman said the man was not her pimp but a friend.
May 16 Suspended license: 5:14 a.m., 12700 block of NE 85th St. A 25-year-old was arrested after he was stopped for speeding and found to have not only a suspended driver’s license but two outstanding warrants for driving previously with a suspended license. DUI: A 57-year-old man was arrested after he was found to be at fault in a four vehicle collision. When contacted by police he refused to perform a field sobriety test or submit to a breathalyzer test. The man was booked into custody under suspicion of driving under the influence and found to have a previous conviction.
members of the KCAC, however, questioned whether Kirkland was the appropriate location for the sculpture, as the 9/11 attacks occurred in New York. At their May 14 meeting, the Parks Board voted unanimously to recommend it to the City Council. Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett said that the council voted to authorize the bid because of the imminent deadline in order to keep the option open. Additionally, because it is a competition there is no guarantee at this point Kirkland will actually buy the sculpture. But at the same time, they want an opportunity for residents to express their sentiments on the
idea before making a final decision. Triplett said the sculpture was originally intended to be at Heritage Park, but it was later decided it was not the most appropriate place for it, as it would create a somber mood where events such as weddings are held. Also, Heritage Park is designed to be more naturalistic. The sculpture was created using debris from the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It has four people, a firefighter, a soldier, a female office worker and a flight attendant holding hands around a piece of steel taken from the 60th floor of the World Trade Center and a piece of limestone from the fifth floor of the Pentagon. The sculpture will be awarded based on a competitive process that requires submitted proposals by cities in Washington. Only one city will receive a sculpture.
August or late fall. In advance of the grand opening, the city will bring in a restored 1948 Ford police car they found in San Diego, purchased through donations. The Ford is similar to the one used by the KPD during the same time period. Triplett said the transition will allow the city to consolidate several departments into City Hall and sell the vacant building.

Delta Dental honors dentist’s memory with new endowment
Community
BRIEFS
LWIT receives energy efficiency grants Lake Washington Institute of Technology has partnered with energy and facility services firm McKinstry to secure nearly $300,000 in grant money through the Washington State Energy Efficiency Grant Program. The program, administered by the Washington State Department of Commerce, allows institutions such as the college to perform facility upgrades that help reduce energy usage on its campus. Puget Sound Energy also awarded the college a $32,414 utility grant to aid the college in its investment in campus energy efficiency projects. “McKinstry worked with us throughout the application process to ensure we presented a strong case to the Department of Commerce,” said Tim Wheeler, director of facilities and operations at the college. “We have been looking at this project for a few years to help us achieve our energy and carbon emissions re-
program. “Our school greatly appreciates Delta Dental’s generous support of one of our key programs,” said School of Dentistry Dean Dr. Joel Berg. “It’s a very fitting and meaningful way to honor the memory of an outstanding dentist who was thoroughly dedicated to serving the community.” Neal, who practiced in Seattle and Kirkland for 40 years, served terms as president of both the Washington State Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the Western Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. “We are grateful for the opportunity to have served with Jack on the
Delta Dental of Washington Board of Directors,” said Joanna Lohkamp, chair of the board. “Jack brought to the board a warm and generous nature that contributed to better decision-making across stakeholders. With this gift we’re pleased to celebrate and recognize Jack’s distinguished service to his profession and to our company.” Neal was active in the Seattle King County Dental Society and the Washington State Dental Association, and served on several boards including the Washington Physicians Health Program and the Physicians and Dentists Credit Bureau. In addition, he provided
charitable care for patients through the Washington State Dental Association Access Program and the Donated Dental Services Program. He also played an instrumental role on the Delta Dental board in helping provide dental care to more than 800 underserved children throughout King County. After graduating from Furman University in South Carolina, Neal received his DDS from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. He then served in the U.S. Army Dental Corps in Frankfurt, Germany. After his military service, Neal entered the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
duction plan for the campus and will now be able to move forward with it thanks to these grants.” Facility upgrades funded by the grants include the following: • Exterior campus lighting upgrades to LED lighting • Campus electric sub metering per building • Campus control system commissioning The college is expected to see $22,240 in annual energy savings from these facility improvements, and will save an estimated $1,799 in annual operational and maintenance costs. These energy improvement measures will reduce carbon emissions by 321,270 pounds a year, which is the equivalent of removing 28 cars from the roads or planting 40 acres of trees. This project will help create or maintain seven local jobs. Approved by the Washington State Legislature, the Washington State Energy Efficiency Grant Program allocated $32 million to competitive grant programs to fund energy and operational cost saving improvements in public buildings across the state. Since 2009, McKinstry has helped its clients secure over $94 million in state
grant funding. Those grants have been leveraged into more than $200 million in project work. In addition to enhancing facilities, projects also stimulate the local economy by employing local consultants and contractors.
where they can ask for help and get it immediately. A trained staff member from one of our three agencies, Auburn Youth Resources, Friends of Youth or YouthCare, respond to every call and within 45 minutes one of our counselors will meet the young person, assess his or her needs, helping the youth get to shelter, return home or find an alternative safe placement that very same day” said Terry Pottmeyer, CEO of Friends of Youth. Metro buses, each one a Safe Place site, have proven to be a very effective way to extend the front doors of youth shelters and counseling services throughout the county. And, although Metro is one of many Safe Place sites, it is unique in not only its regional reach, but its availability to youth during the evening and overnight hours when many other Safe Place sites, like our local libraries, are closed. “Two and a half years after its launch, King County Safe Place is one of the busiest networks in the nation,” said Melinda Giovengo, Executive Director of YouthCare in Seattle. “This partnership has been a great way to reach out and help youth because of the unique
Metro cuts will impact Safe Place program Local leaders of agencies committed to preventing and ending youth homelessness, including Kirklandbased Friends of Youth, are concerned that cuts to Metro routes will not only impair the ability of youth to access transportation but will also impact a regional community safety net for youth in crisis, Safe Place. Safe Place in King County was launched in August 2011 in partnership with Metro Transit. Every Metro bus is a Safe Place site where youth ages 12-17 can ask for help. In the two years since the network launched, many youth in crisis have found a connection to safety on a Metro bus. “The concept of Safe Place is simple. When a youth in trouble sees the Safe Place logo, they know they have found a place
residency program at the University of Iowa, where he pursued clinical and laboratory research on bone grafting and reconstruction and received a masters of science degree. In 1973, he moved to Seattle and began private practice in Kirkland. He was certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 1976. “The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is grateful to Delta Dental for its leadership in supporting OMS education, and to Dr. Neal for his outstanding contributions to the profession,” said Dr. Thomas Dodson, chair of the department. “The vitality of
way it connects and coordinates existing resources, like Metro buses, providing a 24 hour regional response to the issues facing our young people.” The proposed 16 percent reduction in bus service county-wide, including elimination of many routes serving suburban and rural areas, as well as reductions in off-peak hours, would mean fewer opportunities to connect to safety for homeless and runaway youth. Data from the King County Safe Place network show that most youth who have accessed Safe Place through a Metro bus did so outside of peak hours. Metro defines peak as 6-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. Only one pickup occurred during peak hours; most occurred between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. “We are concerned that with fewer buses on the roads, and reductions to Metro service to rural and suburban communities, youth in crisis will lose a critical piece of the existing safety net,” said Jim Blanchard, executive director of Auburn Youth Resources, an agency providing service to youth in South King County. “Even losing one youth to the streets or a predator because timely help was unavailable

our educational activities ensures that UW will be the program of choice for top candidates.” when needed, is one too many.” In addition to Safe Place, all three agencies participate in Metro’s discounted fare program, buying discounted bus tickets each year to help homeless and at-risk youth get to school, work, shelter, housing, and other appointments safely and efficiently. Transit is an essential link to education and the support services that help homeless young people need to move beyond the streets and prepare for life. Speaking for the group, Pottmeyer hopes that the cities, county and rural communities of King County will continue to work together to avoid cuts to Metro bus service. “Maintaining bus service throughout the county is a good thing not only for commuters, but a critical lifeline for the youth we serve,” Pottmeyer said. The King County Safe Place is made possible through funding provided by United Way of King County. Safe Place is part of a national network of more than 20,000 partnering businesses and community locations that display the yellow diamond Safe Place sign, a safety net for youth in crisis who have nowhere else to turn.

A social studies lesson at Merrill Gardens BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
Students from Lakeview Elementary spend time with a resident at Merrill Gardens senior living center. CONTRIBUTED
Second graders from Lakeview Elementary have had the opportunity to play reporter as part of their social studies class. Luke Johnson, a second grade social studies teacher at Lakeview Elementary, has been taking his students to Merrill Gardens, a senior living center, to spend time with the residents and get to know those from a different generation. They first visited
in January and have made a total of four visits. Johnson said they hope to visit again in June. In addition to playing games with the residents, the students also interview the residents, asking them questions about their life and experiences they’ve had. Johnson said it’s a way to get social studies out of the classroom and into the real world, where students have the chance to interact with people outside of their age group. “It’s really been a posi-

tive experience for both age groups,” he said. “A lot of their grandparents don’t live nearby. They (residents) have rich experience and love the kids coming and spending time with them. It’s been great.” In preparation for the visits, the students think of various questions to ask, such as jobs they’ve worked, languages they speak and childhood memories. After the interviews, the students then write up a short biography of the person.

Local gyms having locker thefts During the past few weeks there has been a spike in locker thefts from gyms across the Eastside. Recently, Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland and Redmond have all seen similar incidents. Thieves are getting into lockers by shimmying or prying padlocks or com-
bination locks and sifting through personal items to take cash. The lock is often placed back on the locker afterward. Some people don’t even realize they’ve been victimized right away as their phones, wallets and other items are still present. Several different gym franchises have reported thefts, and gyms are working closely with police in multiple jurisdictions to try to identify suspects. It appears there are multiple groups of suspects work-
ing across the eastside. Issaquah, Kirkland and Redmond Police currently have open, active investigations and all agencies are conducting area patrols as able. Police and gyms are asking customers to do the following: Don’t bring valuables to the gym or leave them in your car; leave them at home if possible. Report all suspicious activity to staff or by calling 911 – or both.

Freshman steps up, pitches Kangs softball to district title
T
ori Bivens has given the Lake Washington High School girls fastpitch softball team some dominating performances this year. But if the caliber of talent faced determines the greatest of performance, Bivens threw her best game of the year Saturday, beating Sultan 2-1, as the Kangs won the 2A District title in Sedro-Wooley. “I wasn’t surprised,” said Lake Washington head coach Traci Tawney about her team’s title. “I was pleased we won but we’re not done yet.” The Kangs will take the No. 1 seed to the 2A State Tournament next weekend. But Lake Washington has had to overcome some issues on and off the field. The biggest one was losing the team’s best pitcher and hitter. Maddie Brown, who has hit .600 for the team this season and was the No. 1 starter, broke her hand just before the playoffs ramped up.
Rebels softball qualifies for state tourney The Juanita High School girls fastpitch softball team drew Columbia River during first round of the state tournament, according to brackets released early Tuesday morning by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association. The state tournament game will be played at noon on Friday on field No. 1 at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey. The Rebels qualified for the state tournament May 22 when they defeated Holy Names, 4-1, during the Sea-King District tournament. Juanita waged a small comeback against the Cougars, falling behind 1-0 during the second inning. The Rebels scored two runs
“It was pretty clear the the full load was falling on [Bivens],” said Tawney. “I told her ‘get ready.’” And Bivens has answered the call. The freshmen baffled Sultan hitters for the completegame victory during the district title game, striking out 11 batters, walking just one and scattering two hits. Lake Washington scored its first run of the game during the top of the fourth and added a second run during the sixth inning. Sultan scored its lone run during the sixth inning. Julia Turner collected both RBI for the Kangs, finishing 2-for-3 at the plate with a home run, while Hannah Walker was 1-for-3 with a run scored. One player who stepped in to help in Brown’s absence is first baseman Kim Veldee. “She showed up to practice the next day and said she would pitch,” said Tawney. Veldee, who had given up pitching to focus on first base for the team, threw during both the fifth and sixth innings. Madi Hedlund, Morgan Figueroa and Kristina Warford all picked up RBI for Juanita during the game and Hedlund finished 3-for-4 at the plate. As a team, the Rebels collected 11 hits. Milly Kawabata threw a complete game from the pitching circle for the victory, giving up seven hits. The Rebels lost to Mount Si during its next district tournament game, 13-3, in five innings. Juanita took an early 2-0 lead with runs during the second and third innings, but the Wildcats hammered the ball during the fourth and fifth innings for all 13 of their runs. Hedlund, Kawabata and Aimee Richardson each had an RBI during the contest for the Rebels.

five innings during the district tournament, allowing Tawney some flexibility with her freshman starter. The team ran into more challenges during the district tournament as their bus failed to show up to drive them to Sedro-Wooley on the first day of play. “It was a little bit of a frazzle but we had an issue like that during the preseason,” said Tawney. “This team does a good job of focusing on what is important.” That focus will help the Kangs during the state tournament. “Last year we made it to districts with a very young team and we were pretty much shell-shocked,” said Taney. “Everyone has stepped up this year.” Taney is not worried about her young team dealing nerves at state. “If you don’t have nerves you should find something else to do,” said Tawney. “The goal is to redirect those nerves.” Tawney said that Bivens, who started pitching when
The Lake Washington High School girls fastpitch softball team won the district title on Saturday and will have the No. 1 seed from Sea-King at the state tournament. DOUG TURNER, Courtesy photo she was 8 years old, was nervous heading into the district tournament but dealt with it and pitched well. That experience will help in Lacey. Bivens has pitched well this season, going 5-0 in league play. She will get the call for the first
game at state. “She grew early and is tall for her age,” said Tawney, who added that Bivens’ father pitched for Arizona State University. “She has been around the game and has had knowledge of the game for a long time. She
has the ability to absorb that great amount of knowledge and use it.” Lake Washington takes its 18-1 overall record to the state tournament after winning the 2A/3A KingCo title this season with a 13-1 record in league play.
Lake Washington baseball to play in state semifinals BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
The Lake Washington High School baseball team advanced to the semifinals of the state tournament with unprecedented back-to-back mercy-rule victories on Saturday at Cedarcrest High School. “It is pretty remarkable,” said Kangs head coach Derek Bingham. “It really helps when you get pitching like we have had. But this was a complete team effort.” The Kangs pounded North Kitsap 13-3 during the first round of state and then shutout Archbishop Murphy 10-0 during the quarterfinals. Lake Washington will take on Tumwater at 1
p.m. on Friday at County Stadium in Yakima. Against North Kitsap, the Kangs drew a modest 1-0 lead on an RBI double off the bat of Jordan LaFave during the bottom of the first inning. “He has been a great hitter for us all year long,” said Bingham. But it was the third inning that essentially ended the game, as Lake Washington batted around for 12 runs. The biggest blow come from LaFave with a three-RBI double. Connor Johnson, LaFave, John Lyon and Kevin Nakahara all collected multiple hits during the contest. Nakahara and Lyon finished with three RBI each, Josh Wikel had two RBI and Jake Steele

had an RBI. “Kevin has really come into his own lately,” said Bingham of Nakahara who has 10 hits during the post season. “He is a first-year starter and he has been a big time contributor down the stretch.” Lyon earned the win with three innings pitched, allowing just two hits. The game was stopped after the top of the fifth inning for the 10run mercy rule. The Kangs kept rolling against Archbishop Murphy, scoring nine runs during the top of the sixth inning. Lake Washington didn’t need much more than the RBI single from LaFave during the first inning, as starting pitcher Connor
Johnson threw a complete game two-hitter. Johnson finished with two strikeouts and a walk. For the second game in a row the Kangs batted around during a single inning, ending the game during the bottom of the sixth inning. Nakahara had two two-RBI singles during the inning, while LaFave, Johnson, Steele, Jared Menssen and Ryan Horita all collected an RBI each. The two blowouts don’t change the fact that the Kangs still have two games to play. “Psychologically it gives us a little more confidence but if you have made it to this point all the teams have confidence in their abilities,” said Bingham.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.
