Kirkland City Council narrows search for city pool locationBY RAECHEL DAWSON

[email protected]

The Kirkland City Council unanimous-ly approved a resolu-

tion on Jan. 21 that narrows down potential locations for a new aquatic center.

Resolution 5029 commits the city to further analyze building an aquatic center at Juanita Beach Park,

North Kirkland Commu-nity Center or, as amended, South Norway Hill Park; however, the scope is not limited to these sites.

� e resolution also calls for city sta� to design a facility to serve the needs of the Lake Washington School District and the “broadest possible general public.” It will require sta� to conduct outreach with

the community and poten-tial partners on possible facility components and site preferences.

Another amendment called for a feasibility and cost analysis study on converting Peter Kirk Pool to year-round use as an interim solution if the city cannot � nish the aquatic center by 2017, when the Juanita Aquatic Center is

projected to close.“It’s criminal that we use

Peter Kirk Pool as little as we do,” said Deputy Mayor Penny Sweet, adding that she used to swim competitively at a dome pool in the 1970s.

� e Park Board will provide a recommendation to the Council on facility preference by April 1.

Before the Council voted on the resolution, sta� from

the Parks and Community Services department and a member of the Sports Man-agement Group presented multiple site options during the Council study session.

� e sites were evaluated on their ability to hold a 38,500-square-foot aquatic center which could include an eight-lane lap pool with diving, a recreation pool with water slides, a spa/

warm water therapy pool, seating for 250, and a multi purpose classroom; or a 72,000-square-foot aquatic center and recreation cen-ter. � e larger facility could include one court gym, a � tness room, wood � oor studio, community kitchen, child-watch activity room, multipurpose classroom,

LWSD levies, bond on ballot for special electionBY SAMANTHA PAK

Reporter Newspapers

King County special elec-tions are coming up next month and residents living within the Lake Washing-ton School District will be asked to approve two levies and one bond measure.

� e three measures will go toward the district’s everyday opera-tions, technology needs and building upgrades as well as toward replac-ing aging schools and building new schools to accom-modate the district’s growing enroll-ment. � e bond measure would allow the district to continue with its modernization program with funds going toward replacing aging schools throughout the district.

Six schools are scheduled to be replaced, includ-ing Juanita High School, Kamiakin Middle School and Peter Kirk Elementary School in Kirkland.

� e two levies are renew-als and require a simple majority of 50 percent plus one to pass.

Kathryn Reith, commu-nications director for the district, said each of the lev-ies is a four-year measure and it has been a long time since they have not passed.

“It’s been many, many years,” she said.

� e district surveyed the community in March

2013 and Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce said 81 percent of residents who have moved to the district in the last 10 years said the quality of local schools in� uenced their decision where to live.

“We are very proud of the excellent educational experiences we can provide for our students, with the

support from our communities,” she said. “We rely on local dollars to fund our schools and we know that quality schools contribute to the overall vi-ability, stability and economic health of

our communities.”O� cials at King County

Kirkland’s Market neighborhood may not get marijuana stores a� er all.

� e Kirkland City Council directed city sta� during their Jan. 21 Council meeting to look into interim regulations for two Market Street zones that several marijuana retail license ap-plicants have expressed interest in.

During the last two months, several, if not hun-dreds, of Market, Norkirk and Highlands residents have written, emailed and

spoken to Council members about barring marijuana stores along the Market Street zones, Market Street Corridor (MSC) 1 and 2, for fear of how it could impact their community.

“I’m worried about a marijuana dispensary being allowed anywhere in my neighborhood,” said Sophie Larsen, a 14-year-old Mar-ket neighborhood resident who spoke at the Council meeting. “What if people try to sell marijuana to me?”

While the majority of Council members weren’t in favor of a moratorium,

many felt steps should be taken to address residents’ concerns.

“I’m willing to do whatever it is,” said Deputy Mayor Penny Sweet. “I think we need more time. It’s a scary proposition, it is the future.”

Each Council member agreed to send a letter to the Washington State Liquor Control Board explaining the city’s stance on mari-juana license applications and their potential Kirkland locations. � e letter will be sent a� er the Council has taken action on the interim

regulations.“Residents of the [zones’]

adjacent neighborhoods have expressed strong con-cerns about marijuana sales so close to the neighbor-hoods,” the dra� letter to the Liquor Control Board states. “Kirkland Middle School is located several blocks to the east of the proposed marijuana retail sites; and although the school is not within 1,000 feet of the proposed mari-juana retailers, the retailers are located along designat-ed school walk routes.”

Council considers limits for marijuana stores along Market St.

More than 33 applicants have � led for marijuana retail licenses using Kirk-land addresses.

But whether the Coun-cil will unanimously vote on enacting an interim regulation is unclear.

“Fi� y-six percent of voters voted for this. In Kirkland, it was 62 per-cent,” said Councilwoman Shelley Kloba. “My prefer-ence, under substantive options, is to maintain the current regulations.”

Kloba, Sweet, and Councilmen Toby Nixon and Jay Arnold agreed that rede� ning the MSC1 zone to exclude retail use was a good way to bypass some uncertainty of how the federal government

could react to city govern-ments enacting marijuana zoning laws and address residents’ issues. However, Councilman Dave Asher countered that keeping as much retail space in Kirkland was vital for the economy.

Ultimately, MSC1 and MSC2 zones will be analyzed by city sta� for the interim ordinance, as opposed to the entire city.

� e interim ordinance will be presented at the Feb. 4 Council meet-ing and will last for six months if the Council adopts it. During the six-month period, a � nal or-dinance would be dra� ed. � e process for which that’s adopted is yet to be determined.

Council members ad-dressed marijuana retail, processing and produc-ing zoning last summer but decided at the time to leave the law as it stood per the Liquor Control Board: Marijuana stores could be in retail zones as long as they were 1,000 feet away from schools, parks and other public places children might be, among other requirements and restrictions.

I-502 was passed by Washington voters in November 2012, legalizing the recreational use of marijuana.

“I don’t use marijuana, I teach people not to use it but I was a strong sup-porter of I-502, neverthe-less,” said Nixon at the Jan. 21 Council meeting. “And that’s because I agree with

the initiative sponsors that the negative impacts of marijuana prohibition on our community are worse than the negative impacts of marijuana use in our community.

“I really want to see implementation of I-502 succeed so that we can as quickly as possible get away from those nega-tive impacts of prohibi-tion. � e problem is that implementation will fail if we make possession and use legal but it becomes impossible for people to purchase marijuana legally.”

eight-lane lap pool with diving, recreation pool, spa/warm water therapy, seating for 250 and a spe-cial events room, among other features.

When researching the sites, staff considered whether one or both of the facilities would be able to fit comfortably on each property.

Council members removed the Mark Twain Park, Snyder’s Corner Park and the former Alb-ertsons sites from consid-eration due to challenges with size, accessibility and land acquisition.

But the north side of Juanita Beach Park, measuring 9 acres, the 5.5-acre North Kirk-land Community Center property, and the 10 acres of trees at South Norway Hill Park were deemed viable options. They are all city-owned and large enough to accommodate both types of facilities.

However, there are challenges to each site.

The 2006 Juanita Mas-ter Plan would need to be revised for the Juanita Beach Park, and soil is not ideal.

The North Kirkland Community Center site is a tight fit and has a steep slope to the land, requiring a three-level recreation/aquatic center. A traffic signal and left turn lane would also need to be installed, mak-ing the North Kirkland Community Center the most expensive in terms of construction cost.

South Norway Hill, just north of the Kings-gate Safeway, is 10 acres of woodland and could be 15 if the city acquired adjacent property. Coun-cilman Toby Nixon, who suggested the spot, said he believes the biggest challenges for this site are that it’s on the very

northern edge of the city and it’s a wooded area and “Kirkland loves our trees.”

During the study ses-sion, Councilman Dave Asher voiced interest in putting a pool at the To-tem Lake Malls and May-or Amy Walen inquired about partnering with the city of Kenmore or the

state to potentially utilize the Saint Edward State Park space where the Carole Ann Wald

Memorial Pool was once operated.

Some Council members pointed out that the city should be mindful of pool partners when looking at locations so that the pool can be accessible to others in the region.

However, City Manager Kurt Triplett said that al-though the city is actively looking for public and private pool partners, the future partners are “not moving as fast and they’re not as committed yet.”

“If it ends up being Kirkland alone with the school district, which we hope in the end is not the case, but in [this] scenar-io, we want to make sure we’re delivering a great product for Kirkland residents and the school district as well.”

And for now, that’s keeping easily accessible, city-owned locations at the forefront.

The Lake Washington School District Board of Directors passed a resolu-tion in September 2013 which said they would be willing to enter into a pool partnership. An undetermined amount of unspent funds from the district’s 2006 capital bond measure would go toward a future pool proj-ect with the caveat that the February 2014 bond passes.

The district estimates there’s $10-12 million left in the 2006 capital bond.

Shortly after the board’s

resolution passed, the city of Kirkland allocated $215,000 for an aquatic center study.

During this time, Wave Aquatics, the nonprofit that is currently operating the district-owned Juanita Aquatic Center, has also put together their own plan for a $20 million Eastside Aquatic Center.

Both entities maintain they’re looking for part-ners but have yet to reach any concrete agreements.

Kiwanis Club awards grants to five local schools

The Kiwanis Club of Kirkland is awarding five $500 grants to local schools to help them develop their robotics programs.

The five schools are Kirkland Middle School, Kamiakin Middle Schools, International Commu-nity School, Juanita High School and Lake Washing-ton High School.

“Robotics is an impor-tant emerging technol-ogy, and our hope is that at least a portion of the funds can be used to af-ford needy students the opportunity to participate in their school’s robotic program,” said Kiwanis Club of Kirkland President Ralph Loveland.

The Robotics programs are designed to help students improve their knowledge and skills in a variety of areas, including mechanical engineering, computer programming, electronics and more.

The recipients of the grants feel it will go far in helping grow the programs while providing fun new opportunities for the stu-dents. One school official said the grant will provide the funds needed to buy a new kit of materials for a robotics competition. All the schools expressed their excitement with being able to move forward with their robotics programs due to these grants.

For more information about the Kiwanis Club of Kirkland contact Matt Gregory, Secretary at (425) 828-0231 or visit www.kirkland.kiwanis.org.

Tear down that seminaryI attended the recent community meeting about

Saint Edward’s State Park. I must say it was helpful to get both sides of the story. It was wonderful to see the public come together on this issue. A� er all was said and done, I came to my own decision about how I’d like to see the situation handled. I person-ally would like to see the old seminary building demolished and the park continue to be enjoyed as a natural recreation area. Demolishing the building would be a resolution to several issues. My tax dollars would no longer go toward the maintenance and repairs, which are bandaids for a gaping wound of a building that is close to being condemned. Take note, that our tax dollars are also still being used to heat the pool building which essentially is condemned. We won’t have to get into a frenzy every time someone threatens to lease the building. And let’s face it, it will take the likes of Paul Allen to come up with $40 million to fully repair this build-ing. You can call your legislators but I just don’t see people lining up to pay more taxes.

Once the building is gone, we’ll have a bit more park space or we can let the creative juices � ow for a new sort of structure, one uninhibited by a $40 million repair.

I know some will say “but it’s a historical building with a story.”

Hey, the trees that you, or the guy before you, cut down to build your house had a story, as did the little lake cottage that got demolished for the new mansion.

It’s reality, and in this case, it’s � scal responsibility.Susan Vossler, Kirkland

Take a look at Juanita High School before you vote

Someone has added a sign next to the Lake Washington School District vote signs saying “Yes Prop 1, Yes Prop 2, and No Prop 3.”

Where were these sign people when I-405 tolling came up for a vote and passed? Where were these people when Kirkland voters passed a forever parks levy? Where were these people when Kirkland voters passed a forever road levy? Where were these people when Mayor McBride said let’s do away with two-plus free tolling in the HOV lanes?

Before you consider voting “no” on Prop 3, I encourage you to take a hard look at Juanita High School.

If Kirkland can a� ord parks forever, roads forever, tolling forever, the voters of Kirkland can a� ord to give Juanita High School a new building.Save Xodnon, Kirkland

Support school district measures

Ideally we have homes with the right amount of space for our families and daily functions. But what if more family and friends also want to live in this great area and need to move in with you? You can make room for a couple of extra people. But what if they keep coming? Pretty soon you have RV’s sitting on your lawn and your house looks like the Griswold’s when Cousin Eddy comes to stay.

OK, this is not a likely housing scenario, but this is the kind of overcrowding the Lake Washington School District is facing right now, except it is por-tables instead of RV’s choking school grounds. And it does a� ect us and our homes.

Housing prices are linked to school quality, period. � is is true when markets are hot and when they are slow. If you are selling a home within a good school district, you will get more money for that house and it will sell faster. And knowledge-able buyers see these homes as better investments whether they have kids or not.

� e basic truth is that the Washington State Legislature does not fund the school districts to

the degree necessary to keep up the quality of our schools. So school districts o� en must turn to levy and bond measures to fund school construction, technology enhancements, ongoing maintenance, teachers’ salaries and more. In fact, all of the East-side school districts surrounding LWSD also have levy and bond measures on the upcoming Feb. 11 ballot; we do not want to slip behind.

Since I’m a real estate agent living and working in Kirkland, I have a personal and professional inter-est in the quality of the Lake Washington School District. I feel fortunate that my two kids are getting competitive educations without private school ex-penses. I see the limitations at the outdated school my youngest attends versus the advancements and space at my older son’s newer school. I see the moti-vated teaching sta� throughout the district as I vol-

unteer in their schools. And I see clients coming to me with “quality of schools” high on their

list of house buying requirements. How could I not vote yes for LWSD schools?

I’m not the only agent advocating for the levy and bond vote. � e Seattle-King

County Association of Realtors con� rms this viewpoint in a recent press release: “Schools

have a signi� cant impact on home values,” said Sam Pace, a housing specialist with SKCR. “It’s not just families with school age kids that are concerned about the quality of schools when buying a home … Savvy buyers know that quality schools will be a factor in the sales price when it’s time to sell.”

When your ballot arrives for the Feb. 11 election, vote “yes, yes and yes” for the two levies and bond to support your neighborhood schools.Cara Erdman, Kirkland

Support school district with votes on Feb. 11

I am writing to encourage all residents of Kirk-land and Redmond to vote on Feb. 11 in support of our extraordinary Lake Washington School Dis-trict. Our local students have been blessed with one of the best school districts in Washington. � anks to your support, LWSD has been able to move us ever closer to having all students lead rewarding lives and become successful contributors to our society. � e bond and levy measures on the upcom-ing ballot will provide greater learning tools, safety measures, security and health upgrades, in addition to supporting 22 percent of the general operating revenue and giving school building and site im-provements to support 4,000 additional students.

� e success of your school district and their

graduates touches every member of our commu-nity, regardless of attendance at a LWSD school. Quality schools have a direct and signi� cant impact on our home values. � e success of our gradu-ates helps to bring top companies to Kirkland and Redmond, which brings additional and higher level job options. � eir strong critical thinking skills and education builds a higher standard of living and ultimately raises the employment opportunities for everyone in our community.

My family has long been a fan of the outstand-ing quality of education provided in our district. Our eldest son attended Juanita Elementary, Finn Hill Junior High and graduated from Juanita High School. A� er receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree last year he is now a successful employee for a major company in the Paci� c Northwest. Our youngest is attending school at the improved and safer building of A.G. Bell Elementary. Our daughter attends the extraordinary Kirkland Middle School, upgraded in 2004. No matter which school you pick, this district has a plan to make certain it remains one of the best and ultimately raises the bar for our entire community.

You can make our community stronger by voting yes for Lake Washington schools. � ank you so much for your support of the Lake Washington School District on Feb. 11.Johnmichael Monteith, Kirkland

Support Lake Washington School District measures

I am a mother of four kids who are attending schools in the Lake Washington School District: Juanita High School, Kamiakin Middle School and Frost Elementary. I would like to urge everyone to support the upcoming measures for two levies and one bond.

Frost Elementary School was rebuilt a few years ago and the improvement in e� ciency and � exibility of use have been huge. It will be able to accommodate future technology innovations in teaching our kids so that they are ready to contrib-ute in the world as it is and as it will be. However, if no new schools are built, the projected increase in new students in the district will mean that the library will have to be used as a classroom and not a library. � e gym and the art and science room will have to be used as classrooms and physical educa-tion, art and science instruction will be signi� cantly reduced.

Herald Writer

While most of America spent the day a� er the NFC

Championship game reacting to Richard Sherman’s post-game antics, the Seahawks cornerback was already im-mersed in � lm study.

“With Peyton,” Sherman said, “you have to be on it quick, because I know he was on it quick.”

When it comes to prepar-ing for quarterback Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos’ o� ense, an extra week between games is probably one or two weeks too few, which is why Sherman and the Seahawks de-fense, despite being the best in the NFL, know they have their hands full this weekend.

All season this Super Bowl matchup seemed like destiny. In the AFC, the 37-year-old Manning enjoyed the best season of what will surely be a Hall-of-Fame career, shattering passing records while leading the Broncos to an NFL record for points in a season.

Seattle, meanwhile, earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed thanks in large part to a defense that became the � rst since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the NFL in fewest points

(14.4) and fewest yards allowed (273.6) as well as takeaways (39). When you factor in the pass-happy era we’re in, Seattle’s pass defense wasn’t just great, it was one of the best of all-time.

So when Sherman tipped Colin Kaepernick’s pass to Malcolm Smith for the game-clinching interception in the NFC title game, it didn’t just secure a Super Bowl berth for Seattle, it also set up one of the most intriguing Super Bowl matchups in recent

memory, a clas-sic meeting of an unstoppable force and an immoveable object.

“We really embrace that, man,” Sherman said. “As a defense, we respect

the heck out of Peyton Man-ning, but as a true competitor, as competitive as our team is, you wouldn’t want to have it any other way. You want the best of the best, otherwise you don’t feel like you’re get-ting the biggest challenge of your life. ... It’s just a competi-tive drive in you. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. So that’s the only way it can go.”

And there is no arguing that this is a best-vs.-best matchup. Manning, whose career was in danger less than three years ago follow-ing multiple neck surgeries,

established single-season records for passing yards (5,477) and passing touch-downs (55). He carved up opposing defense by spread-ing the ball around to a group of pass-catchers with diverse skill sets, ranging from a prototypical No. 1 receiver in Demaryius � omas to a speedy slot receiver in Wes Welker to an athletic tight end in Julius � omas. And of all the crazy stats the Broncos put up, the most stunning might be that they had four pass-catchers produce 10-plus touchdown seasons: � omas, � omas, Welker and Eric Decker. For a little perspective on how crazy that is, there were just nine other receivers and tight ends on the NFL’s 31 other teams to accomplish that feat.

So it’s no surprise that the Broncos are con� dent in their o� ense, no matter who is lined up across from them.

“� ey are the No. 1 defense,” Demaryius � omas told reporters in Denver. “� ey have a great defense and we have a great o� ense. � is is what you play for. I think we’ll be � ne.”

Yet as con� dent as the Broncos may be, it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see any-thing quite like this Seattle defense, which didn’t just have the best pass defense in the league, but the best by a signi� cant margin.

Seattle allowed 172.0 pass-ing yards per game, 22.1 few-er than the No. 2 team. � e Seahawks’ opponents’ passer rating of 63.4 is 10.8 points better than the next best team. � e website FootballP-erspective.com came up with a formula to rate pass defense in a historical context by using adjusted net yards per attempt — meaning it factors in sacks, not just actual pass attempts — then factored in a

standard deviation relative to the average pass defense that year, and came away with the conclusion that the Seahawks have the fourth-best pass defense since 1950 behind 2002 Tampa Bay, 1988 Min-nesota and the 1970 Vikings. � ose ’02 Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, and it should be noted that Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was the defensive backs coach of the 1988 Vikings.

Seattle’s secondary deserv-edly saw three players, Sher-man, Earl � omas and Kam Chancellor, earn Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors, yet it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like Denver’s o� ense.

But Seahawks fans might take comfort knowing that in the previous four Super Bowls to match the league’s No. 1 o� ense and No. 1 defense in terms of yards, the defensive team won three times. Not only is Denver’s o� ense talented, it’s also a challenge because Manning has so much freedom at the line of scrimmage, essentially serving as, as Sherman called him, “an o� ensive coordina-tor out there.”

“Nobody has ever taken more command of the game than he has at this stage of his career,” Carroll said. “And the coaching sta� has allowed that to happen where he can be in total command of what’s going on.”

One thing Carroll and his defense know well is that stopping Denver’s passing

game isn’t only about the players covering Manning’s targets. If the Seahawks can somehow generate a pass rush to disrupt Manning’s timing, they’ll be doing something few teams have this season. � e Broncos allowed a league-low 20 sacks this season, 18 on Manning, and that number clearly isn’t a testament to Manning’s mobility. Instead the Broncos rely on solid pass protection and, even more important, a quarterback who through years of experience has learned precisely when to get rid of the ball and where to throw it.

� e Seahawks added Michael Bennett and Cli� Avril to improve their pass rush, and it worked, with Seattle registering 44 sacks this season, but even with a strong group of pass-rushers, pressuring Manning, like stopping the entire Broncos o� ense, will be a challenge even for the league’s best defense.

“We have to be able to do everything,” Carroll said. “We have to be able to pressure him, we have to be able to play zone and man, do all of the things. Hopefully give him some new looks he can’t prepare for. We have to � nd a way to get him out of his nor-mal rhythm. Very few teams have been able to do that. So it’s a big challenge.”

planning and preparation time, programs such as special education, English Language Learners and Safety Net, safety and secu-rity, facility maintenance and extracurricular activities and athletics.

Jackie Pendergrass, district school board president, said the EP&O Levy is critical for the district to “continue to provide the education to our students that our commu-nity expects and deserves.”

If passed, the EP&O Levy would cost $263.6 million over the course of four years. For homeowners, this comes to an estimated rate of about $1.85-1.92 per $1,000 of as-sessed property value.

Building, technology, maintenance

If passed, the second levy, the Capital Projects Levy, would pay for two types of

capital projects: facilities and technology.

“� e Capital Projects Levy passage will allow us to continue to keep our build-ings in tip-top condition and to keep our technology programs and systems up to date,” said Pendergrass.

Reith said on the facilities side of things, this would mean major projects in buildings such as replacing heating systems and � ooring as well as upgrading build-ings’ door-locking systems.

When it comes to technol-ogy, the Capital Projects Levy would cover items such as replacing the district’s mo-bile technology and keeping the district’s infrastructure — networks, servers and the like — up to date. Reith said the Capital Projects Levy would also cover a portion of technology-related sta� costs such as training programs for new so� ware and the dis-trict’s help desk, which goes out into the � eld for repairs whenever technology issues

crop up.“� e schools depend on

(the help desk) quite heavily,” she said.

If passed, the Capital Proj-ects Levy would cost $127.2 million over the course of four years. For homeowners, this comes to an estimated rate of about 91 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value.

Pierce added, “� e renew-al of the EP&O Levy and Capital Projects Levy will enable us to continue to provide high quality educational programs, technol-ogy teaching and learning tools and safety and security upgrades.”

Running out of room

� e upcoming bond measure requires a 60 per-cent supermajority to pass, and if passed it would cost residents $755 million over

the course of 20 years.Enrollment in the district

is projected to increase by 4,000 in the next eight years and with current buildings at or approaching capacity, the district needs somewhere to put these new students.

� e bond measure would address this issue with the addition of three new elementary schools, one new middle school, additions

to Eastlake and Lake Washington high schools, a science, technology, engi-neering and math

(STEM) choice high on the west side of the

district and an international-focused choice high school on the east side of the district.

Two of the new elemen-tary schools would be built in Redmond — one in the Redmond Ridge East neighborhood and one in North Redmond. Reith said these locations were chosen because the area schools

— Rosa Parks Elementary School on Redmond Ridge and Albert Einstein and Norman Rockwell elemen-tary schools in North Red-mond — are at capacity.

“We are running out of space at Einstein and Rock-well and there’s no more room for more portables,” Reith said, adding that there are several new housing developments in the works in this area, as well.

� e district has already moved a portion of Rosa Parks students to nearby Laura Ingalls Wilder El-ementary School in Woodin-ville as a temporary measure to address the overcrowding, but Reith said Wilder will soon be overcrowded if a new school is not built.

“Right now, we’re getting to the ‘bursting-at-the-seams’ (point),” she said, adding that the two Red-mond elementary schools were on a previous bond measure in 2010 that failed.

A temporary solution to

overcrowding at Einstein and Rockwell — which have 488 and 661 students respec-tively — is to move some students to Horace Mann El-ementary School. Reith said this is the only nearby school in the district’s Redmond Learning Community that is not expected to increase in enrollment.

� e third elementary school that would be built with the bond funds would be in Kirkland, though Reith said they have not deter-mined where in the city it would be located. She said Kirkland is also growing, though not at the same rate as Redmond.

“� e bond passage will allow us to provide the space that our growing student population needs while alle-viating overcrowded condi-tions in some of our schools,” Pendergrass said. “We do not have enough current space to adequately accommodate all the students moving into our schools.”

Prosecutors recently sentenced a North Bend man to 15 months of prison time for hitting and killing a former Kirkland resident with his car while on the way home from a 2013 New Year’s party.

Cody Joseph Eads, 19, was sentenced by King County Superior Court Judge Regina S. Cahan on Jan. 17 for one count of vehicular homicide.

Eads pleaded guilty in

December to the charges that he killed Lake Wash-ington High School gradu-ate Lucinda Fisher Pieczatkowski, 57, on Jan. 1, 2013 while he was tex-ting and sped his way home from a party.

“I was texting and driving a bit fast and did not see her when my car dri� ed toward the shoulder until I hit her,” Eads wrote in his plea

documents.Court documents state

Eads le� the New Year’s party around 1:30 a.m. and drove home on Stone Quarry Road, outside of Sno-qualmie.

Pieczatkowski -- who was a North Bend resident but had grown up in Kirkland and graduated from

Lake Washington High School in 1974 -- was with

her boyfriend, son and his girlfriend as they also drove down Stone Quarry Road a� er a night out. An argument began and Pieczatkowski and her boyfriend pulled over and got out of the car. � ey walked in opposite direc-tions on the road.

Her boyfriend returned to the car but she didn’t. He drove around looking for her but a� er no suc-cess, the group went home.

� e next morning Pieczatkowski’s boyfriend

returned but contacted po-lice when he still couldn’t � nd her.

Police soon discovered her body in a ditch. An autopsy report showed she had died from blunt force to the head and torso.

� at same day, charg-ing papers state the Eads’ family attorney contacted sheri� deputies to inform them the Ford F150 pickup involved in the crash was parked at the family home.

� e truck was impound-ed for a search warrant, as

it had damage consistent with striking a pedestrian and debris on the road matched the truck.

Eads cannot have con-tact with Pieczatkowski’s family for life and will pay them $11,203 in restitu-tion. A� er his year and three months are served, Eads will be under com-munity custody for 18 months and barred from consuming alcohol and drugs or stepping foot in establishments that sell such products.

Ming Yu and his wife Helen remember when

they took their twin boys, Thomas and James, to Robinswood Tennis Center in Bellevue for the first time.

Even though the boys weren’t quite four-years-old, the youngest age Robinswood accepts for its Little Lobbers program, the parents knew they had to do whatever it took.

“They were three and a half,” Ming said. “We kind of snuck in.”

Eight years and nearly a dozen USTA junior cham-pionships later, including this year’s Winter 12 and Under Championships, that choice continues to pay off.

“It is nice they can play and learn together,” Helen said. “We want them to learn problem-solving and become mentally tough.”

The boys have begun to build those traits on the court while also build-ing their profile as some of the area’s top players, garnering a spot in the re-

gion’s singles and doubles rankings and capturing tournament titles together and on their own.

Their coach Dan Willman at Northwest High Performance Tennis in Kirk-land said the two

each have unique traits they bring to the court, and combine to form a formidable doubles pair by playing with an in-nate sense formed only through biology.

“They’ve played together so long and obvi-ously live together, so they

know each other’s games and emotions really well,” Willman said. “They are able to read where they are on the court and you can’t put a price on that.”

Willman would know, having played in his native New Zealand as a junior and eventually

reaching the Davis Cup, along with coaching inter-national junior teams.

Thomas exudes con-fidence, with a mental toughness that translates to consistency, while James is the bigger hitter and plays a more aggres-sive style.

Both are fervent competitors, according to Willman, and have dedicated themselves to the court time necessary to fine-tune their games.

“What I look for is that dedication and those character traits,” he said, adding the structure of support provided by Ming and Helen is also a key. “They work hard, day in, day out.”

The duo said they train six days per week, when they’re not traveling for tournaments, as they are this weekend in Oregon.

While the trophies and gold balls awarded by the USTA are welcome accolades, both James and Thomas said the real goal is to use tennis as an avenue to a college educa-tion and career.

“College is so impor-tant,” their father Ming said. “Not many people make it to the pros.”

But with their collegiate and even prep careers

still years in the future, the twins said enjoying their time together on the court, even if they are across the net from one another, is vitally impor-tant.

“In a big match, I’d rather play someone else,” Thomas said. “If I beat him in singles, he’s mad when we play doubles.”

Their parents estimated the two have faced off on the singles court nearly a dozen times with a championship on the line, and said while it can be stressful watching their sons compete against one another in high-stakes situations, the grit they gain from those moments will pay dividends away from the court in their futures.

“It is a great experience, physically and mentally,” Ming said. “When they play each other, it doesn’t matter who wins, because it is in the house.”

Twin brothers netting huge results with Kirkland coach

Thomas and James Yu train with Kirkland tennis coach Dan Willman. JOSH SUMAN, Reporter Newspapers

“It is nice they can play and learn together. We want

them to learn problem-solving

and become mentally tough.”

Horse Liniment Erases PainHIALEAH, FL – An ingredient oftenused to treat inflammation in racehorselegs is now back on the market in itsoriginal doctor recommended clinicalstrength formula. According to a national drug survey,the formula at one time became so pop-ular that it rose to the top of pharmacysales for topical pain relievers. But thecompany marketing the product at thetime changed the formula and salesplummeted. One of the inventors of theoriginal formula has brought it backunder the trade nameARTH ARREST and

says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dualmechanism whereby one ingredient re-lieves pain immediately, while a secondingredient seeks out and destroys thepain messenger signal before it can besent to the brain. Considered a medicalmiracle by some, ARTH ARREST isuseful in the treatment of a variety ofpainful disorders. ARTH ARREST is available with-out a prescription or call 877-581-1502.Now at:

Enrollment for in-district transfers set for Feb. 3-28

There will be an open enrollment period from Feb. 3-28 for families who are interested in in-district transfers to attend schools within the Lake Wash-ington School District (LWSD) other than their neighborhood schools.

Applying during this pe-riod may result in learning the outcome of a request earlier.

These transfers are possible only if space is available. Because of the growing student popula-tion in the district, fewer schools can accommodate students from outside their neighborhood boundaries.

The closed school list for the 2014-15 school year will be posted on the district website as of Feb. 3. Families are asked to review that list before applying for an in-district transfer. Call (425) 936-1283 for more informa-tion.

Two Lake Washington High School art students joined hundreds of students from Oregon, Washington and Idaho in submitting their works to the annual High School Art Northwest juried art exhibition at George L. Fox University.

Senior Amanda Levine and sophomore Tony Nguyen were selected to have their artistic achievements honored in this exhibition. Both Levine and Nguyen are AP Studio Arts students. The opening reception will be Jan. 28, with the show running through Feb. 24.
