Firefighters, Seahawks’ kicker make Kirkland girl’s Christmas wish come true BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
F
or six-year-old Kirkland resident and Lakeview Elementary student Madeline Herman, it was a Christmas with Kirkland firefighters and Seahawks placekicker Steven Hauschka. Madeline, who is undergoing chemo treatment for cancer, was paid a visit on Christmas Eve by members
of the Kirkland Firefighter’s Stairclimb Team from Fire Station 22, which presented her with her own Kirkland firefighter uniform with her name on it. Kirkland firefighter Jon Hernandez said the team, which raises money for cancer research, also looks to do things for cancer patients in the community. After reaching out to Madeline’s family, which moved from Walla Walla so she could be treated
at the Seattle Children’s Hospital, the firefighters recently visited her for her sixth birthday in early December. In the meantime, they also collected money by passing a boot around the station to buy her gifts on top of the uniform. Hernandez said they thought of having a Seahawks player come along after finding out Madeline has been an avid Seahawks fan ever since she was little

and has plastered pictures of the players all over her bedroom walls. Her mother, Brook Herman, said Madeline watches every game, and in preschool she drew a self-portrait of herself in a Seahawks uniform. The firefighters finally reached Hauschka, who was willing to come by, but after a long practice on Christmas Eve went into the late evening, he decided to show [ more GIRL page 2 ]

City, healthcare provider team up to curb costs The city of Kirkland and a Seattle-based health care provider have signed an agreement intended to provide health care for city employees and ultimately reduce health care costs. As part of the agreement, Vera Whole Health is creating a new worksite clinic near Totem Lake and next to EvergreenHealth, which will be available for the approximately 500 city employees and their families. It is expected to open in the spring. As part of the plan, the city will pay a monthly fee, while city employees receive unlimited access to primary care, acute care and health coaching at the clinic. Vera Whole Health medical team will include physicians, nurse practitioners, medical assistants and health coaches. According to Nandi Thorn, director of Health
and Life Sciences with the Fearey Group, the plan is an addition and doesn’t replace their current health plan. Although Vera’s care clinic will be designed just for city employees and their families at first, City Manager Kurt Triplett said eventually others will be able to use their services as well under their own plans. “One of the reasons we partnered with Vera is they build reciprocity into their clinics, and their goal is to have a network of clinics where different groups can use different clinics,” he said. “So there will be capacity for people outside of the city.” Ryan Schmid, president and CEO of Vera Whole Health, said that this model of providing healthcare is a practical solution for reducing unnecessary health costs. “They really have designed a plan that is very forward thinking that we think will generate great results for [ more HEALTH page 2 ]
About 80 people turned out for the Vigil for Peace event in downtown Kirkland on Dec. 22. The interfaith event brought together people from all walks of life in the Kirkland community, including, from left, Farah Alsudani, Barb Harrison and Fran Wessling. The vigil was to call for peace stemming from recent events between police and residents in other communities around the nation and international issues, such as the school shooting in Pakistan.

pay for health and wellness and obviously making all the traditional output patient inpatient, so o folks can come to Vera, get engaged in their health with hour long appointments, unlimited health coaching, following their acute needs as well.” Schmid added that their model helps people maintain their health and discover problems when they are minor, which can be easier to treat. “The biggest reason they save money is a dramatic reduction in unnecessary care or inappropriate care. It stems from fragmentation. You’ll often times see conditions that are very manageable.” The main reason for the

am I paying for? What am I going to get? How much will it cost? What if it breaks? What’s the warranty? They’re recognizing they have considerable more control than they previously thought they did. Vera sits right into the heart of that, because we can contract directly with the employer who is paying for that.” While Kirkland is not the first city to sign on for a care clinic, Triplett said their urban environment contrasts with most cities that do, which are typically found in rural areas. “What makes Kirkland unique is that most areas that have adopted clinics are somewhat isolated,” he said. “There just isn’t a plethora of
medical options. Establishing the clinic is a way of providing service. We’re establishing a clinic in the middle of the Greater Seattle Region, which has some of the best healthcare in the world.” As healthcare costs continue to increase, Triplett said care clinics will become popular with cities looking to fix their costs. As far as how much it would save the city, and taxpayers, Triplett said they don’t have an exact figure, but their expectation is that it will cut healthcare cost increases down to three percent a year, whereas right now he said it is around seven to 10 percent. “If we were going at three (percent) we’d be ecstatic,” he said.

Having had no forewarning, the family was taken by complete surprise. “She (Madeline) was just over the moon,” Brook
Herman said. “It was very surprising to us. We were really excited. Madeline has really wanted to meet the Seahawks and it was kind of unbelievable someone would put themselves out there to surprise her on Christmas Day.” Madeline was originally diagnosed in 2013 and has been undergoing chemotherapy since August as part of a 43-week treatment. Currently, there is a fundraiser to help her parents cover some of the costs for her healthcare. Donations can be made at http://www.gofundme. com/stronglikemadeline.

reduction in costs, Schmid said, is unnecessary care due to untreated conditions. “You’ll often times see conditions that are very manageable,” he said. “That person seeing their primary care provider three or four times a year can avoid inpatient days. That’s where you also have the coaching that goes on. Having a coach to then help people implement the care plan they set with their provider really drives up results.” Their system, Schmid said, creates accountability for what is done with the money spent. “I think that purchasers that are wise are considering healthcare like they would anything else.

s mayor and deputy mayor of Kirkland we are writing today to respond to the Reporter article regarding the “scathing” letter to the Council from the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF). Union President Bryan Vadney states that the letter was to “politely tell the Council we are not with you.” We are profoundly disappointed. There is nothing “polite” about this communication. Eleventh hour attack letters are no way to create collaboration and solve problems. The Kirkland City Council was surprised to hear union opposition to the new fire station at this late date. When the city annexed Finn Hill, Juanita and Kingsgate, we pledged to build a new north end fire station to reduce response times on Finn Hill. Former Fire District #41 transferred $5.2 million to accomplish this goal. These funds are legally restricted to capital use. We want to assure the citizens of Kirkland that the city will fulfill its commitment. The city has conducted an open and transparent discussion of this issue for over two years. Members of the union were on the strategic planning work group and site selection committee, that led to this siting recommendation. We have had multiple Public Safety Committee meetings and council study sessions on these topics. Union leadership has been in many of these meetings and has never voiced concerns until now. Mr. Vadney says the station will not improve service “whatsoever.” Response time data from our dispatch center and our strategic plan show that he is simply wrong. The new station will provide better response times to more residents. Mr. Vadney says “You need to add more firefighters.” But the gap in coverage is a result of geography. More staff doesn’t

solve a problem of time and space. To be clear, when more staffing is appropriate the city has stepped up. Over the past 10 years the City Council has added 22 firefighters, including 11 since 2010. In 2005 we spent $8.2 million annually on 74 firefighters. Today we spend $15.1 million on 96. That is a healthy and appropriate investment. But response times require a combination of adequate staffing and appropriate station location. Mr. Vadney’s statements about domestic violence are also confusing. October was domestic violence awareness month in Kirkland and the two of us thought a partnership with the IAFF against domestic violence would be a positive action the city could take. We met with union leadership on the topic and received an enthusiastic response. We then drafted a resolution to express that partnership and welcomed any comments or suggestions. Instead, with no further discussion, we received the letter refusing the partnership which was posted on the IAFF website. Finally, we wish to express our complete con-
fidence in Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett. In partnership with the council, he has done an extraordinary job of leading the city through annexation and the Great Recession. He implements council policies, which have allowed for the purchase of the Cross Kirkland Corridor, helped facilitate Google expansion in Kirkland and set the stage for strategic economic development. As a council, we are proud of the work that we are doing, and we believe that Mr. Triplett has been invaluable in accomplishing our goals. One of the highest priorities of our citizens, and of this council, is public safety. We have the utmost respect and appreciation for the invaluable service of our Firefighters. If the union leadership truly wants to serve the public and solve problems, the best way they can accomplish that is to work with the council and our city manager.
Amy Walen is the mayor of Kirkland and Penny Sweet is the deputy mayor. Both are members of the Kirkland City Council.

Ever since the horrors at Columbine, and with each incident in the recent two years involving school shootings, measures have been enacted to absolutely ridiculous heights in order to protect us. One of the stories I hear again and again is that a student, usually around 5 years of age, has been removed from school on an “emergency expulsion,” here’s LWSD’s verbatim definition: “Emergency Expulsion” is the immediate exclusion from school or campus when the student’s presence imposes an immediate and continuing danger to the student, other students, or school personnel, or an immediate and continuing threat of substantial disruption to the educational process. Because the tyke was doing some silly kid thing, like using their hand in formation of a gun. Ripped completely out of context, wellmeaning adults forget that little kids play with Nerf guns, water guns, heck even the old plastic guns used in the old Nintendo games; saw someone else do it, etc. etc… the reasons are endless and innocent. So, basically the parents are informed that this kid is some sort of imminent danger to himself and everyone around him and must first be
analyzed and questioned to be sure they aren’t actually out to be the next Green River murderer in order to get back into school. (Dare I mention that these evaluations are paid for by the parents to the tune of about $300?) Ridiculous, right? But it’s happening, ridiculous or not. So if the LWSD is treating everyone the same, what the heck is the deal with these monster teenagers who gang-assaulted a special-needs student at JHS? I’m absolutely astounded and horrified by the lack of information that we are receiving about this! My child was set to attend JHS next year, but after all I’ve heard and read over the years, too much has happened there. I decided to file for a variance for him, but now I see that it would seem these extremely troubled teens are just being refiltered into the school system, so how am I supposed to protect my kids? We deserve to know.
Jodi de Vries, Kirkland
Stop protecting the guilty, start protecting the innocent in JHS assault I am appalled that the five football players at Juanita HS who sexually assaulted a special needs boy with a broom handle are allowed to transfer to other schools in the district. If these boys are old
enough to be tried as adults for murder, then they should be old enough to be tried as adults for sexual assault. Their names should not be protected, they should feel the public shame of their crime. If it was my child that was the victim I would be blasting the names of the attackers all over the place. Stop protecting the guilty and start protecting the innocent.

Thank you Kirkland angels for donating to those in need The food box distribution site in the south part of Kirkland was new to the Kirkland Nourishing Network and to the families we were stretching to support. The morning arrival of food boxes was overwhelming, but patience and understanding made it all work. Unexpected donors arrived and many brought much more than was on the shopping list. School counselors coordinated pick up of the food boxes with the identified families. Size of families determined the number of boxes they would receive for the 16-day break from school. Late in the afternoon, there were still some families that had not arrived. Confirmation calls were made.

trees. But other reasons exist. The maples in front of Zeek’s Pizza and Cactus, for example, are aging. The maple on the northwest corner of Main Street and Park Lane conflicts directly with the project’s replacement water main. Ten more trees—most of them maples—would not survive the root damage they would sustain while crews build the street’s new underground utilities and its walking surface. Altogether, the project will remove 27 trees, including an ailing oak removed earlier this year. It will plant 35 new trees with five different species to be planted. Those species include the more familiar Red Maples and Red Oaks, as well as the tall and slender Musashinos and the broader Redspire Pears and Pink Flair Cherries. All of these trees share a common characteristic: “They’re all appropriate for the street,” said project team member Eric Schmidt, a principal at the Cascade Design Collaborative. “Unlike the trees that are out there now, they won’t grow too tall—maybe 40 to 45 feet.

sible for pedestrians of all abilities. The current conditions of the trees make it hard for people, in groups or with assistance, to walk the length of Park Lane.” Reinart points to the maple in front of Cactus Restaurant. That tree’s base and root mass protrude above the sidewalk’s surface, reducing to a couple feet the walkable space between the base of the tree and the street on one side, and Cactus’ fenced dining area on the other side. “A wheelchair can’t fit through that space,” he said. “A person walking with a child might be forced to step into the street. And this is only one such example on Park Lane.” Pedestrian access is the primary reason for removing many of the 1207432
Richard was born September 1, 1927 in Spokane, WA. After High School in Eastern WA and Coeur d Alene ID, he enrolled at the University of WA for a year. He served his country in the U.S. Army, then returned to the University of WA and received his Bachelor Degree in 1950. Dick worked several years at General Electric Supply Company. After leaving GE, the next 28 years he was the owner of Kirkland True Value Hardware. Dick enjoyed his Kirkland years. He was actively involved in the City Council, the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce, and Kirkland Kiwanis. For many years Dick’s spare time was spent on Whidbey Island either working in the garden, or upgrading the Cabin. One of his favorite travels was to Reardan, WA where he grew up. On December 14, 2014 Dick passed away in Kirkland WA after a brief illness. Dick is survived by his wife of 61 years, Sandy, his son, Randy (Susan) and two grandchildren; Catie and Michael. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to donor’s charity of choice. There are no services planned. To view his photo and send a remembrance, please visit www.AcaciaFuneralHome.com.
During the past 12 months, the Park Lane project team has been working with residents and business owners to redesign Park Lane into a greener, more walkable and vibrant corridor. Park Lane’s new plaza-style street will feature a one-level surface of brick pavers and a new stormwater system that will better protect Lake Wash-
ington from the pollutants that drain to it every time it rains. Starting Jan. 5, Kirkland’s contractor, Marshbank Construction, will begin working on that new vision. This will involve some dramatic changes, such as closing the street to automobile traffic and progressively removing all of the existing sidewalk and pavement. One of the most visible changes will be to Park Lane’s treescape. The contractor will be removing all but nine of Park Lane’s existing trees. “Some of them are diseased,” said Project Engineer Frank Reinart. “Most of them are old and some of them are in the way of new utilities. But the underlying reason we are replacing the trees is to make Park Lane more walkable and acces-
