Not many children study how computer games are made, with hopes to become a game developer. Not many are named honorees of major organizations like 7-year-old Jacob Schaub was. But then again, not many children have had to go through nearly two years of battling leukemia as Schaub currently is.

Two weeks ago, Jacob was deemed Honoree of the 7th annual Winter Pineapple Classic 5k fun run by Wilma Comenat of the Leukemia and Lym-phoma Society (LLS).

Jacob’s mother Sofia said she’s excited to be able to hold the pineapple this weekend as others run an obstacle course in an effort to raise $500,000. LLS has raised $2 million over the last six years.

“We currently have just over 2,200 participants but we’d love to see 3,000,” said Comenat.

Last year, Sofia ran in the fun run but Jacob had to sit out. He was still in the midst of fighting his leukemia.

After complaining of stomach pain for some

time and after his parents noticed a change in his energy, they took him to the emergency room of Seattle Children’s Hos-pital last winter. Doctors took his parents aside, handed them tissues and delivered the hard news: his blood was full of sick white cells and the pain in his stomach was caused by a cancerous mass the size of an orange.

Jacob was admitted to Children’s for two weeks of intensive chemother-apy. And the entire year was made up of hospital visits two-to-three times a week, the occasional infection, a lot of com-muting and plenty of homeschooling.

Jacob was diagnosed with leukemia Feb. 3, 2011 - just two weeks af-ter his sixth birthday but

10 days after his kinder-garten teacher Rosemary Allan-Humphreys had signed up to do her fourth event with LLS. Her uncle had passed away from leukemia in 2000.

Part of QFC’s mission has always been to “sell the highest quality foods at sur-prisingly affordable prices.” Quality is so important that it’s part of our name, Quality Food Centers. Because quality is so important to us, we put a great deal of emphasis on stocking our stores cor-rectly. We try to order enough product to meet our customers’ demand, but not so much that it remains on our shelves past its prime. But sometimes we order more fresh products than we can sell. When that happens and we find ourselves with food that is perfectly safe and healthful to eat, but which no longer meets our stan-dards for freshness and quality, we have a plan and a partnership in place to provide this nutritious food to hungry people in our communities.

QFC has built partnerships with Food Lifeline and the Oregon Food Bank to donate this perishable food to local food banks. Not a lot of people know this, but products that have gone past our date for quality and freshness still have a couple of

days or several days in which they can be safely consumed. Perishable products that we donate include meat, produce, dairy, bakery and deli products. Togeth-er Food Lifeline and Oregon Good Bank support over 1,000 local food banks and hot meal programs in Western Wash-ington and Oregon. They are able to determine which of our donated foods can go to food banks or need to be used right away at meal programs, such as at shelters.

Thanks to Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank, their member agencies re-ceive this nutritious food that they then supply to hungry people in our commu-nities. Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank provide program support and train-ing to their respective networks to ensure that the partner agencies can concentrate on getting food to the hungry people who need it most.

In addition to the Perishable Dona-tions Partnership which QFC supports throughout the year, during the holidays

QFC also supports the work of Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank through Bringing Hope To the Table. This spe-cial two-month food and cash donation drive helps assure that hungry people and families have good, nutritious food dur-ing the holiday season and through the winter and spring months. To support this program:

Customers can purchase and then •donate $10 pre-packaged bags of groceries for neighborhood food banks.

Cash can be donated at any QFC •checkstand from October 28th, 2012 through December 29th, 2012.

Customers can purchase and do-•nate food bank recommended items, identified by shelf tags and by a spe-cial “shopping list” that will be avail-able in your store.

With your support of Bringing Hope To the Table, we can make the holidays brighter for many of the hungry in our community.

One year since Sky Metalwala’s disappearance, case still open

Although it has been exactly one year since Sky Metalwala, then age 2, disappeared, Bellevue police are still active in the investigation.

Police say that while it was hard for family members to cope with the disappearance, new infor-mation may still come to

light even after a year or more.

Metalwala was reported missing by his mother on Nov. 6, 2011 in Bellevue after she reportedly ran

out of gas. She left Sky in the vehicle while walking to find gas but when she returned he was missing. An intensive search took place, but the little boy

was not located. Metal-wala’s father is a Kirkland resident.

Anyone with any information regarding Metalwala should email [email protected].

Lake Washington girls swim team wins district title

The Lake Washington girls swim team won the district swim meet by 47 points on Friday and Saturday at Thunderbird Aquatic Club in Ana-cortes.

The Kangs scored 300.5 points, while Sehome placed second (253.5)

and Squalicum took third (221) out of 11 teams.

Lake Washington domi-nated the meet, winning all three relays and four individual events.

Lake Washington’s Clare Kucinski-Murphy won two individual races, taking first in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 25.65 and first in the 100-yard backstroke (1:03.16).

Kang Jayna Van-Stone won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:59.08, while teammate Jessica McKinney took first in the 100-yard free-style (55.96).

Lake Washington’s 200-yard medley relay team, of Gabrielle Rector, VanStone, McKinney and

Kucinski-Murphy, won the event with a time of 1:55.32, while the Kangs’ team of Brooke Bonnell, Laura Chopp, Hannah Walker and Maya Iba took first in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of1:46.75.

The team proved it can excel in the team distance relay as Chopp, Kucinski-Murphy, McKinney and VanStone teamed up to take first in the 400-yard relay event with a time of 3:46.52. Lake Washing-ton coach Dave Hale was named Coach of the Year.

Lake Washington will now compete at the state meet at the King County Aquatic Center on Friday and Saturday.

The Lake Washington girls swim team won the district swim meet last weekend. CONTRIBUTED

for such a long time,” said Allan-Humphreys, who is now Jacob’s brother’s kindergarten teacher at Carl Sandburg Elemen-tary. “I felt sad for Jacob; the pain he was going through, the long stays at the hospital, missing school and playing out-side and around groups of other children.”

Jacob missed nearly his entire first grade because his immune system was very weak.

“I remember when we

went to school during first grade, he’d say ‘I don’t like when they look at me,’” Sofia recalls when her son lost his hair from chemotherapy.

Allan-Humphreys would engage him by playing games and hav-ing him write about the computer games he loves to play. A favorite is Minecraft.

“Jacob is a very bright boy, so academically I knew he’d be okay,” she said.

He has recently started

back at school for sec-ond grade and while he enjoys math and P.E., Allan-Humphreys does acknowledge he missed a lot of school over the past two years and that being back is a big adjustment for him. She says he misses his mom and he does get tired but whenever she sees him with his family, he’s “very happy, smil-ing, excited to show me

the latest additions to his Minecraft world.”

“It’s been a little hard for him to get back,” Sofia said. “After not being

there and then following the routines and now there are 20 kids in his class-room, but he’s doing well and he’s happy when he gets home.”

Although Jacob’s chemotherapy will be done June 2014, he frequents the hospital

much less - about once a month for steroids. Sofia says his cancerous cells are gone but now they are in the maintenance phase. He is very comfortable with his doctor and fa-miliar with the hospital.

“He doesn’t think about his illness all the time,” Sofia said. “Sometimes he has questions and talks with his brother about hating cancer, but for me and my husband, it’s emotionally hard to know that your child is really sick. Even if he’s

doing well right now, we always know we have a sick child.”

But Sofia says her family stays close and they continue to move forward.

“I hate cancer. To have cancer feels differ-ent,” said Jacob. “Cancer makes you feel you can die, but I say no to the cancer.”

The Winter Pineapple Classic will be at Moun-tain Meadows Farm in North Bend, Wash. on Saturday, Nov. 10.

Perfect solution to bouncy ball litter problem

I think I have a great solution to the bouncy ball problem. My kids love the ball machine at Little Ceasar’s. I’d like to suggest a solu-tion: instead of bouncy balls, Little Ceasar’s could switch to gum balls. � ey can be ordered in the same size, so the machine will not have to be retro-� tted. � ey can also be ordered with custom printing, so they can continue to o� er their free crazy bread promotion: www.gum-ball.com/custom-printed-gumballs.aspx (I’d also like to add that I am in no way a� liated with gumball.com. It came up when I did a quick internet search.)

I, for one, would be very sup-portive of the switch. � e bouncy balls turn up all over my house and they are annoying. I’m much more likely to fork over a quarter for a gum ball. Jen Mahan, Kirkland

Full parking lots at Juanita Beach Park

For several weeks now I have noticed the parking lots at Juanita Beach Park get fuller and fuller, particularly the lot across the street from the Spud’s Fish & Chips store (due west) and the east end of the parking lot on the beach side of the park.

Is the City of Kirkland estab-lishing these lots as Park & Ride lots for commuters? � ey are not marked as such as of yet, which brings about the above question. I wonder what the owner of Spud’s is thnking. I have myself gone down to get � sh and chips from Spud’s recently and had trouble � nding a parking spot, and on one occasion turned around and went home without stopping at Spud’s, particularly on a Friday a� ernoon.

Also during this o� -season for the Juanita Beach Park, would it be possible to make the � rst street into the park a one way going in (west) and the second street a one way

going out (east)? During the busy summer season and when the Friday Farmers’ Market is there on Friday a� ernoon having to meet someone going out on the � rst street and in on

the second street can become almost total gridlock in the

park, with nowhere to go. Or could the � rst street into the park be expanded into the grassy area at least

another car length so the traf-� c � ow would be so much easier.

Something to think about.Ron Prokop, Kirkland

Need help decorating downtown Kirkland

Well, it’s that time of year again. Time for me to beg and you to say yes to helping decorate Kirkland. � is year should prove to be the most impressive we have ever had. I can’t begin to tell you how many hours David DeBois at Banner Bank has put in. Everything is going to be so fabulous for our little ones and our shoppers. Anyone over 14 years

of age is invited to help decorate Kirkland on Saturday, Nov. 17. We will meet for co� ee and pastries at 8:30 a.m. in the main lobby at Merrill Gardens, 201 Kirkland Ave. At 9 a.m., volunteers will go out to decorate in groups of three to four. Around noon we will be nourished at Merrill Gar-dens with pasta from George’s and there will also be pizza and salad too.

Bring pliers, cutters, gloves, exten-sion ladders, medium ladder, one large “A” frame ladder, gloves, warm clothing and for those of you with sensitive ears don’t forget the ear mu� s.

On behalf of everyone in the Kirk-land Downtown Association, let me say thank you in advance for always coming through. Kirkland has the very best citizens ever and I always get a little teary eyed when I think about how you always come through.

If you would like to join in on all this fun and get to know some of your neighbors better, email: [email protected] Tucker, Kirkland

The 2012 general election was a lot of things. It was an exercise in democ-racy, a peaceful transition of power

and as annoying as ever. The cliches alone are enough to make you want to throw some-thing at the TV.

We heard a lot of the same lines over and over again. The candidates even threw out many of the same tired old campaign lines.

One cliche that we are used to hearing every four years is “this is the most important election of our lifetime.” How can every elec-tion be the most important?

The election was also nasty, mean and full of annoying ads and robocalls. But that is what we say every four years. The fact of the matter is that negative campaigning works.

The race for Attorney General was spe-cifically nasty. The ads for both sides were misleading at best and downright offensive in other cases.

More local races even went negative. One of the worst was the 1st District Senate race between longtime incumbent Rosemary McAuliffe and Dawn McCravey. The negative campaigning in this race was not just from the candidates but also from their supporters. The Kirkland, Bothell and Kenmore Reporters received more letters on this race than any other and most were pretty nasty. In fact, the Reporter newspapers received more letters on this race than any other topic during the past four months.

Name calling, digging up sketchy links be-tween the candidates and outside groups and other attacks were sometimes worse than the commercials on TV or the mailers.

The Reporter even received some nasty phone calls for an innocuous story on the 1st Congressional District race. The story was initiated when the Suzan DelBene campaign contacted the Reporter to cover a rally in

Bothell with Sen. Patty Murray. Not wanting to profile one singular candidate or espouse their views four days before the election, Reporter staff attempted to contact the John Koster campaign and to find a more balanced approach.

The story was ultimately written on how the race was being viewed by the nation and what heavy hitters had campaigned for the candidates. The Reporter called and left numerous messages for the Koster campaign during a 10-day period with no response. As most newspapers do, we let the readers know that we attempted to get an interview for the story with no response to the inquiry. We also attempted to make the story as bal-anced as possible. For some readers it was not enough, leaving phone messages to let us know that the story was unbalanced because we failed to reach the Koster campaign.

The number of robocalls this year seemed to go up exponentially from four years ago. But it was inaccurate robocalls in other

states, telling people they had until Wednes-day, Nov. 7 to vote, that got many up in arms on election day.

And while it seemed in Washington state that the TV election ads would never end, it was worse elsewhere in the United States.

We in Washington State did not get the barrage that those in swing states received for the Presidential election. In Ohio alone, the Romney and Obama campaigns combined to buy nearly 220,000 TV ads. Florida came in second with nearly 200,000 TV ads.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the overall spending on the Presi-dential election through Oct. 17 was nearly $2 billion.

And in another four years we will subject ourselves to more robocalls, nasty TV ads, underhanded tactics and “the most important election of our lifetime.”

But when you think of the alternative to democracy, we would all agree this isn’t bad at all - unless your candidate lost.

Undisclosed donors giving enormous amounts to political

campaigns under the cover of “free speech” have e� ec-tively destroyed the concept of “one person, one vote” in today’s political arena.

More than 80 percent of Americans want limits to the amount of money that individuals, corporations and membership organiza-tions can give to political campaigns, and more than two-thirds want to do away with Super PACs altogether.

Candidates, initiatives and referendums that traditionally en-joyed “grassroots” support from their constituencies are now completely over-whelmed by cash infusions from “big money” entities, such as wealthy individuals, corporations, membership organizations, PACs and Super PACs.

By far the biggest abuse has been created by the 501(c)(4) “Social Welfare” entities that are charged, in order to maintain their tax exempt status, with spend-ing the majority of their col-lected funds on “charitable, educational and recreational” endeavors. Individuals, cor-porations, membership enti-ties, etc. can avoid the legal “donor’s rules” by contribut-ing unlimited amounts to the 501(c)(4) who in turn can spend unlimited amounts on political campaigns as long as they are not “coordinated” with the campaign process.

Rules governing this process are weak at best and violations of “intent” are obvious. Donors going through this SuperPAC 501(c)(4) “tunnel” do not have to have their names disclosed, so voters have little or no knowledge of who is promoting a candidate, initiative or referendum, or of their agendas.

SuperPACs allow special interests and a small, privi-leged minority to quiet the voices of the majority of vot-

ers with dramatic amounts of cash and thereby dominate our political process. Did you know that:

• 93 percent of funds raised by SuperPACs in 2011 came from contributions of more than $10,000 – and from just 23 out of every 10 million people in the US population!

• More than half of Su-perPAC money came from just 37 people giving over $500,000 each!

• Spending by outside groups has quadru-pled with 72 percent of political advertis-ing spending coming from sources previ-ously prohibited!

• Wealthy donors generally do not want their names,

companies or organizations identi� ed because they fear political, economic, member or shareholder reprisals re-garding their contributions, thus utilizing the SuperPAC tunnel where no disclosure is required!

Undisclosed and largely out of state donations of signi� cant size are evident in Washington State in the races for governor, senator, house, attorney general – and on the key initiatives and referen-dums.

� is is a national and local Kirkland issue. Our voting power is diminished. Presen-tations, with more than 350 Kirkland resident petition signatures, have been made to the Kirkland City Council (a group known for good ethics) requesting passage of a municipal resolution stating that (1) “Corpora-tions are not People”, and (2) “Money is not an expression of Free Speech.” � e request is under study and a decision is expected within the next two months – a decision surely to test political capital within the council. A deci-sion favoring the resolution would join Kirkland with Bellingham, Seattle, Olym-pia, Port Townsend, Port Angeles, Auburn, Friday Harbor, Southworth and act in concert with other

resolutions being pursued in Tacoma, San Juan County, Clallam County and at the Washington State level itself.

Kirkland and Washington state would join more than 300 similar eff orts across the country at both municipal and state levels. A favorable resolution is endorsed by the Washington state Democrats.

So, do we (Kirkland) want our local, state and national politics to be controlled by a very, very small minor-ity of wealthy individuals, corporations, membership organizations and PACs/SuperPACs (many from out of state), whose only real goal is to in� uence political campaign outcomes? I think and hope not!

Here are some things you can do to make the citizen’s voice count!

Call and write letters to each of the Kirkland City Council members to encourage them to pass the resolution and speak out as a municipality that corpora-tions are not people and money is not an expression of free speech – and to re-quire full disclosure of donor names and amounts donated.

Write letters to the editor of the Kirkland Reporter encouraging them to endorse the resolution that corpora-tions are not people and money is not an expression of free speech – and to re-quire full disclosure of donor names and amounts donated.

Go to the Kirkland Reporter website at www.kirklandreporter.com and participate in the survey on “Money in Politics,” the results of which will be published in a later issue and delivered to our city council.

Should we let a small mi-nority of undisclosed wealthy entities determine who wins elections? Do we doubt that fact that “winning” candi-dates in these circumstances owe allegiance to their hidden donors rather than to their constituencies? � e answers are simply “no.”

Pay attention to signs of heart attack

A 64-year-old man called 9-1-1 when he felt chest pain on Oct. 22.

As Kirkland Fire Depart-ment rescue crews arrived, the man went into cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was started. Aid crews also used

a de� brillator to help get the patient’s heart started again. � e man’s heart stopped many times at the scene and on the way to Evergreen-Health.

By the following day, hospital sta� cleared a 100 percent block of a major artery and the patient was doing � ne.

� e Kirkland Fire Depart-ment is asking all residents to know the symptoms of a

heart attack and call 9-1-1 as soon as possible. However, according to the American Heart Association, the most common symptoms of a heart attack include chest dis-comfort, discomfort radiating to the upper body, short-ness of breath and sweating, nausea, lightheadedness. Symptoms can be di� erent for men and women. For more information, visit www.heart.org.

Two ballot proposals in Kirkland are winning favor from voters, according to early election results.

� e � rst results from the 2012 general election were released by King County Elections at 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday.

“� is is absolutely essen-tial,” said Councilman Dave Asher during an election night party at the Wood-mark Hotel. “If we don’t win this election, we’ve got to refashion it and come back again to the public, so this requires some invest-ments on the publics’ part. I’m just really heartened to see that it’s passing.”

He added that Kirkland’s “price of government” is very reasonable and lower

than surrounding cities and “people are willing to step up to do the right thing.”

Proposition 2 – a parks maintenance, renovation and enhancement levy – has 13,303 supporting votes or 56.96 percent so far, while 10,050 or 43.03 percent have voted against the measure, according to early returns.

“I’m really happy about the parks in particular because it was a citizen-led initiative, it was their campaign all the way along and to have it be success-ful is pretty exciting,” said Councilwoman Amy Walen during the Woodmark event.

“I’m just thankful that citizens want to invest back into the city because for years we’ve been dedicated

to parks and open spaces in Kirkland, we’re famous for it and it just rea� rms that again.”

Walen said the city would start working on projects right away, including taking care of O.O. Denny Park and creating an interim trail along the rail corridor.

She also thanked citizens who served on the Parks Funding Exploratory Com-mittee, who helped cra� the measures. One of those citizens was Sue Keller, who also served on the Yes! For Great Kirkland Parks cam-paign. She explained the parks measure is a perma-nent park maintenance levy to allow citizens to continue to invest Kirkland parks.

� e pedestrian and safety levy, Proposition 1, had 12,754 supporting votes or

54.76 percent, while 10,533 have voted against the mea-sure or 45.23 percent.

� e proposed street im-provement and pedestrian safety levy would provide much needed funding to repair potholes, repave and enhance arterials and neighborhood streets, provide safety walking and biking routes to schools, and improve pedestrian and driver safety on neighbor-hood streets.

� e ballot measure pro-poses an ongoing property tax levy of 20 cents per $1,000 of assessed value and would annually gener-ate an estimated $3 million. � e estimated annual cost is $71.20 for a home valued at $349,000 (based upon the Kirkland median of assessed value of a single

family home).� e proposed parks levy

would restore and enhance funding for maintenance and operations and capital projects. � rough the ef-forts of a citizens advisory group, the restoration and enhancement of parks maintenance and opera-tions and the renovation and improvement of several park projects were identi-� ed.

� e ballot measure pro-poses an ongoing property tax levy of 16 cents per $1,000 of assessed value and would annually generate an estimated $2.345 million. � e estimated annual cost is $55.84 for a home valued at $349,000 (based upon the Kirkland median of assessed value of a single family home).

First general elec-tion results show a large advantage for the Democratic incum-bents for both seats in the 45th District race.

Rep. Roger Good-man, D-Kirkland, leads against Republi-can Joel Hussey for the Position 1 seat with 56.18-43.74 percent, or 22,236 votes to 17,313.

Rep. Larry Springer, D-Kirkland, leads against Republican Jim Thatcher for the Position 2 seat with 57.14-42.78 percent, or 22,535 votes to 16,871.

“I think it’s an indication that the voters actually believe the direction we’re going is the right one and we’re just going to keep it up,” said Springer during an election night event at the Woodmark Hotel. “It’s all about education funding and building an infrastruc-ture and (voters) are going to send (Roger and I) back to the Legislature.”

Results includes tabulation of at least 520,000 ballots.

Democrats hold early leads in 45th

Early returns show Democrat Cyrus Habib of Kirkland leading in the race for Legislative District 48, Position 2, and incum-bent Ross Hunter winning against Bellevue resident Bill Hirt, according to the King County Elections website.

As of 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, Habib held the lead with 60.45 percent of votes – a total of 20,224 – over Hank Myers of Redmond. Myers

has received 39.46 percent of votes – a total of 13,202.

“Many of you know my story, I lost my eyesight to cancer as a child and you know what, it was public schools and it was state services that allowed me to achieve this dream,” Habib said to a room full of applause at the Woodmark Hotel. “If you are a child of an immigrant and you have a catastrophe like cancer happen to you or you have an obstacle like blindness,

you can have a life of op-portunity and dignity and independence and pride. � at’s why we built these public schools and state services – we’re the party

who wants to sustain them, to maintain them, to nourish them and to make them better for the next generation.”So far, a total of

33,452 votes have been counted for this race, according to the county’s election website. � e 48th District covers parts of

Redmond, Kirkland and Bellevue.

Position 1 was easily won by Hunter, who garnered 68 percent of the vote against Hirt. Hunter col-lected 22,657 votes to just 10,663 in initial returns.

During the election night party at the Woodmark Hotel, Hunter watched the preliminary results come in on his iPad.

“� at’s about what I got in the primary,” he said, noting he was pleased that voters thought he does a good enough job in the

Legislature to send him back.

“� is is a record-setting election for King County,” said Elections Director Sherril Hu� in a press release. “Not only have we set a new record for num-ber of voters registered this year, we will also have more ballots counted for tonight’s results report than in any previous election, including the 2008 presidential election when we still had polling places.”

� e county’s elections department will update re-sults every weekday at 4:30 p.m. until election certi� ca-tion on Nov. 27.

Early election results show approval for Kirkland parks, roads measures

The first results from the 2012 gen-eral election were

released at 8:15 p.m. by King County and Sno-homish County Elections Tuesday evening with local Democrats having a big night.

One of the most evenly divided Congressional races in the country took place in the newly re-drawn 1st Congressional District of Washington State.

First results show an advantage for Democrat Suzan DelBene against Republican John Koster.

DelBene, who was at an election night party at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirk-land with her daughter, husband and mother-in-

law, noted that she was “very confident” from initial election results that she would win the race. She also commended her challenger, Koster, for running and his strong commitment to public service.

She spoke about how tough her campaign has been in the most evenly-divided district in the

country. “For me, this campaign

has always been about standing up for working families and the middle class,” she said. “Many families throughout our district have been strug-gling, and yet people need to have access to oppor-tunity – the same oppor-tunities that I had when I was growing up. And they deserve someone who will go to Congress and fight for them.”

DelBene leads 59.02-40.85 percent, or 45,676 votes to 31,613. The district covers all of Kirkland, Kenmore and Bothell, running from I-90 up to the Canadian border and was vacated by gubernatorial candi-date Jay Inslee last spring.

Kirkland’s � rst Startup Weekend will commence Friday, Nov. 9 as the start of a 54-hour creative scurry by local entrepreneurs to organize and develop a business model, set to be judged by regional innovators, CEO’s and business leaders across Wash-ington.

Bruce Wynn, the executive director of the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce, hopes the startup will draw 100 participants to the Woodmark Hotel at Carillon Point over the weekend so that Kirkland can continue eits name of being a hotspot for businesses in technol-ogy. Last week, Wynn said 75 people had signed up but

people were “signing up by the hour.”

Some successful ventures that spawn from Seattle Startup Weekend events in-clude Rover.com and Freak’n Genius.

Typical startup ideas include games and practi-cal uses for smart phone applications, but in regard to ideas, the sky’s the limit - as long as the pieces � t.

Participants break into groups

and are made up of about 50 percent technical developers, coders and designers. Busi-ness people such as those with expertise in marketing, � nance and business law comprise the other half.

But before it begins, Kirk-land resident Peter Wilson, an engineering director with

Facebook, will speak on Friday. Wilson has worked at Microso� and Google but in 2012 he co-founded a mobile advertising startup called Rel8tion, which Facebook acquired a year later.

“People should focus on solving real problems that startups can tackle with technology,” Wilson said. “People should look at build-ing companies and not just building ‘apps.’”

Wilson added that he’s excited a city the size of Kirkland is able to hold this type of event and that Kirkland has had some great innovation in the past.

Startup patrons will pitch ideas for their business/product, form groups and begin to organize on Friday with full immersion on Saturday, Nov. 10.

Coach Eric Zocher of Microso� will be available

throughout the weekend to answer questions and provide feedback.

Zocher is the leader of a team that has built Microso� tools such as Expression Blend, SketchFlow, Web and Encoder. Zocher founded Silicon Beach So� ware, NetBot and Time4.com before working at Microso� . He has also held high posi-tions at Adobe, Go2Net and Plumtree.

On Sunday, Nov. 11 par-ticipants will present their ideas at 5 p.m., with judging and awards to follow.

Wynn said judges will deem � rst, second and third places. And while there is a possibility of a job o� er in the midst, nothing can beat “bragging rights,” according to Wynn.

“We always wish there was a wealthy investor in the audience and that could

happen - it does happen,” Wynn said.

In addition to bragging rights, entrepreneurs could get advice from people who’ve turned their ideas into success.

Startup Weekend is a non-pro� t organization, which is headquartered in Seattle. � ere have been more than 400 events in 100 countries around the world in 2011 alone. Some have even ven-tured so far as Mongolia and South Africa.

Kirkland’s largest sponsors include Google, Intrix, Clear, Carillon Real Estate Group,

with Microso� as an interna-tional sponsor for the global movement.

Registration costs $99 and will include the cost of seven meals.

� e website kirkland.startupweekend.org also provides a “Startup Weekend pitch timer” as well as other advice on the website’s blog section and a full schedule of the weekend-long event. For further questions, contact Kirkland Chamber of Com-merce executive director Bruce Wynn at [email protected].

Business recognized for sustainability

King County Executive Dow Constantine celebrated the importance and the accomplishments of small businesses throughout the county by presenting the second annual King County Executive’s Small Business Awards at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue recently.

At a high-energy, breakfast-hour ceremony, 230 people from local cham-bers of commerce, cities, and small business organizations watched as winners were announced.

Kirkland-based Natural and Built Environments was named a � nalist for the Green/Sustainable Small Business of the Year. � e other � nalist in that cat-egory was Model Remodel of Seattle and the winner was MicroEnergy Credits of Seattle.

“Every day, small business owners work long hours in a � ercely competitive environ-ment to create value for their customers, provide jobs for their employees, give back to their community, and earn a living for their families,” said Executive Constantine to those in attendance. “� at’s why it’s so important to me that we recognize and support the entrepreneurial spirit, the creativity, and the diversity of small businesses throughout our county.”

Nominations were made by local jurisdictions and business organizations from July through September, and the 130 King County busi-nesses that were nominated were narrowed down to three � nalists in each cat-egory before today’s awards ceremony. Businesses had to have 50 employees or fewer and have been in business for at least three years to qualify for the seven award catego-ries. For more information, visit www.kingcounty.gov/exec/constantine/Busines-sAward.aspx

LA Fitness ribbon cutting

Kirkland City o� cials were recently on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new LA Fitness Signature Club in Kirkland.

� e business is located at 12618 120th Ave. in Totem Lake (the old Larry’s Market and GI Joe’s location).

� e business also cel-ebrated its grand opening with a special appearance by the Seattle Seahawk Sea Gals,

a live DJ and other activities.

HealthSource Chiropractic in a � ght against hunger

HealthSource Chiropractic and Progressive Rehab has entered into the � ght against hunger in the communities in which it serves. Currently, there are more than 320 of-� ces nationwide recognizing this problem and doing their part, including Kirkland.

HealthSource, a chiroprac-tic franchise, was ranked the fastest-growing franchise in America by Franchise Times for two years in a row. With their vast and growing numbers, they hope to be able to have a greater impact on bringing awareness to this issue. According to the USDA, hunger remains a pervasive problem in the U.S. with more than 35 million Americans living on the brink of hunger. Other recent statistics show that about 70 percent of people seeking emergency food assistance

are living below the federal poverty line; nearly 40 per-cent have at least one adult working in their household.

For the month of Novem-ber, HealthSource o� ces will be o� ering their � rst day services to all new patients for the donation of canned food items. � ese items will then be brought to their drop o� points to be given to the needy families. Although the � rst day services that can be included in their campaign may di� er slightly from state to state due to local regulations, all participating locations will make those adjustments accordingly. For more information, call Dr. William Weber at your local HealthSource o� ce today at 425-827-0422.

Two alleged car thieves, one who fled on foot,

were the spectacle amidst little goblins, ghouls and other trick-or-treaters in downtown Kirkland on Wednesday.

Kirkland police re-sponded to a car theft at approximately 8:30 p.m. Oct. 31 on Lake Street. Dozens of witnesses in Halloween garb looked on as police apprehended two male suspects in their mid-40s.

Witnesses said one of the suspects fled on foot, which caused police to bring in a K-9 unit.

“(I) saw one guy getting put in a squad car, and another on the ground in cuffs,” a witness told the Reporter. “Some cars were further down Lake Street, like they were forming a perimeter.”

The suspect was ap-prehended soon after. Witnesses say many police officers responded to the crime, which was near the Tully’s and Ben & Jerry’s area.

A Kirkland couple and a former police officer from Florida were sen-tenced Oct. 26 for being involved in mortgage fraud scheme in Florida, according to the U.S. At-torney’s Office.

The former police-man Joel Streinz, 54, was sentenced to five years in federal prison for taking $6.2 million and was ordered to pay back $1 million in restitution.

George Cavallo, 47,

and wife Paula Horn-berger, 41, collectively stole $8.3 million in fraudulent loans and were ordered to pay $13.2 million in restitu-tion. Both face up to 10 years in federal prison.

The three conspired to commit wire fraud and made false statements on loan applications, which were submitted to FDIC-insured financial institutions and mort-gage lenders, according to court documents.

Dating back to 1990, the trio plotted to buy

residential property in Sarasota, Fla. by lying about the property’s price, their intended use of the property, employ-ment information, in-come and assets, to name a few, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Their goal was to obtain the best loan pos-sible for each property and sell the property in a few years.

The scheme came to an end in 2008 when the real estate market col-lapsed.

Rotary Club supports Kirkland Police Department

At a recent Monday night meeting, proceeds from the Rotary Club of Kirkland Foundation Auction were presented to Chief Eric Olsen to purchase two agent alarm systems that will aid mem-bers of the community and the police o� cers protecting them.

� e agent alarm system can be installed in a home where families su� ering the abuse of domestic violence are living and provide an added level of security for them. � e system allows the police department to respond more quickly when needed, which gives a greater sense of security to those who are be-ing threatened by an abuser. � e system cuts several minutes o� the time it takes to notify police of a problem and can be the di� erence that allows them to arrive in time to stop a situation from escalating.

� e Rotary Club of Kirk-land Foundation holds an annual auction with the pro-ceeds being determined prior to the event. � is year two recipients were determined with the Kirkland Police Department receiving funds to purchase two agent alarm

systems. � e club meets every Monday at 6:15 p.m. at the Woodmark Hotel.

that he robbed the bank and told police he thought it would be a good idea to rob the bank on Friday after people had deposited their paychecks.

He also told police that he left the bank and called another male suspect, who then picked him up at the apartment complex. The two stopped at a store in Kenmore and picked up the third suspect.

Officers at the scene recovered a blond wig and dark hat from inside a dump-ster located in the apartment complex next to the bank.

Prosecutors expect the man will be charged by Wednesday, after the Re-porter deadline.

A car drove into a house, missing two residents inside the

Finn Hill home on Wednes-day afternoon.

At about 3:30 p.m. a woman and her 9-year-old daughter crashed into the home located in the 14100 block of 84th Ave. N.E. due to “faulty brakes,” the woman claims.

The girl was taken to Ever-greenHealth Medical Center in Kirkland after suffering minor injuries.

“It was more of a precau-tionary measure,” said Mike Jeffrey of the Kirkland Fire Department, in regard to the girl’s injuries.

The two residents, who were on the other side of the house during the crash, did

not sustain injuries. But the house has serious damage, Jeffrey noted.

At least one Bothell and two Kirkland units respond-ed to the accident.

Police are investigating the woman’s vehicle.

Kirkland Firefighters join ‘Movember’ campaign

During the month of November each year, an ever-growing fund-raising effort known as “Movem-ber” is responsible for the sprouting of mustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the U.S. and around the world. For the second year in a row, Kirkland Firefighters have joined this campaign. With their Mo’s (short for mustache), these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

Once registered at mo-vember.com, men start Nov. 1 clean shaven. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as “Mo Bros,” groom, trim, and wax their way into the chronicles of fine mustachery. With the support of the fire department, the community, their friends, family, and the women in their lives (also known as “Mo Sistas”), Mo-vember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Kirkland firefighters will effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversa-tion around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

Funds raised here in the U.S. support prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. The funds are directed to programs run directly by Movember and its men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG foundation. Together, the three chan-nels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programs in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship, and research. Please visit the 2012 Kirkland Firefighter’s Movember Network fund raising page at http://us.movember.com/team/435317 and con-sider donating to this worthy cause.

The purpose of the Kirk-land firefighter’s joining the Movember campaign is a real one. While they support many other causes and fund raisers through-out the year, this cause strikes close to home. There are increased risks of cancer associated with the profession of firefight-ing. Researchers discov-ered that firefighters are 100 percent more likely to develop testicular cancer.

A group of residents who oppose the controversial pro-

posed Potala Village project have � led a legal motion to allow them to join the ongo-ing litigation between the developer and the City of Kirkland.

� e group’s attorney, Seattle-based Socius Law Group, PLLC, � led an intervenor for declaratory judgement in King County Superior Court on Monday.

� e motion seeks to include concerned neigh-bors of the proposed project in the lawsuit that devel-oper Lobsang Dargey � led against the city in May. � at lawsuit sought an injunction against a building morato-rium that was imposed on the city’s Business Neigh-

borhood-zoned properties. � e suit also asked for

the proposed four-story development to be approved under the zoning codes in e� ect at the time of applica-tion. It further stated that any changes to zoning codes during the building mora-torium cannot be legally im-posed on the Potala Village project, which would be located at the southeast cor-ner of 10th Avenue South and Lake Street South.

� e group - called GMA Advocates Alarmed by Unplanned, Uncoordinated, Incompatible Piecemeal Development (GMA Advo-cates Alarmed by UUIPD) - says the judgement in that case would a� ect their rights and the legal motion would allow them to be heard in the case as well.

Karen Levenson, who is a member of the group,

emphasized that the current mediation between con-cerned neighbors, Dargey and the city is still ongoing.

“We are still actively try-ing to work at mediation,” said Levenson, adding that the group is hopeful for

a positive result. “But the developer still � led his own lawsuit and we feel there are numerous inaccuracies in what’s being presented.”

Dargey declined to com-ment.

GMA Advocates

Alarmed by UUIPD al-leges that the applications submitted by the developer were incomplete. � ey say the documents were also undated and missing re-quired signatures from the property owner who lives in Portland.

“� ere were several plac-es where the developer was required to give accurate and complete information about the Comprehensive Plan land use allowed on the properties and on the adjacent properties and those details were not pro-vided,” said Levenson in an email. “� ese are but a few of the areas that the neigh-bors feel were incomplete. Since these are the speci� c incompatibilities that are problematic with the Potala Village proposal, their omis-sion is more than a minor problem.”

� e legal motion also states that the developer’s submitted project pro-posal also failed to meet the required zoning. � at zoning calls for 75 percent of the project’s ground � oor must be retail, restaurants, taverns or o� ces. However, the proposal outlines that a parking lot would take up the majority of ground � oor, according to the legal motion.

City attorney Robin Jen-kinson was unavailable for comment.

Nearly 1,000 residents have provided input on Potala Village - a proposed 143 apartment unit project on a 1.2 acre lot with a view of Lake Washington in the Moss Bay neighborhood. � e building will have 6,000 square feet of retail space, plus retail parking.

Rose Hill Presbyterian Church in Kirkland hired Rev. Brian North as the new senior pastor. He preached his first ser-mon as senior pastor on Sunday.

The position of senior pastor has been open since the retirement of Rev. Bill Zacharda in October of 2009 after 25 years. The position was filled for two years by interim Rev. Will Mason, with the help over the three years by as-sociate pastor Rev. Doug Ranney.

The Pastor Nominat-ing Committee presented North as the preferred candidate to the congre-gation, which voted to affirm the selection in September.

Pastor North, who grew up in Bellevue, has been

serving as head pastor at Westminster Presbyterian Church (WPC) in Che-halis since 2007. Prior to his arrival in 2007, WPC was a church that had experienced a 40 percent numerical decline (in both worship attendance and membership) over a

period of eight years. Most of that decline was in families with children, and only a handful of

children were in church each Sunday

in early 2007. In the last almost six

years, however, North shepherded the church to a new place. The children’s ministry has grown, with more chil-dren regularly (about 30) in church on Sundays, along with their parents.

Vacation Bible School has grown from 25

children in 2006 to more than 100 each of the last two years. The first Youth Confirmation Class in seven years took place this past spring. Worship attendance was up nearly 20 percent since North arrived. In short, WPC has grown spiritually and numerically, and has be-come multi-generational.

North feels a strong call of the Lord to serve at Rose Hill. He is ex-cited to get to know the people there and to see Jesus continuing to work through this community of faith. He comes to the church with his wife, Gwen, two sons and two daughters.

Rose Hill Presbyte-rian Church is located at 12202 N.E. 90th St., Kirk-land. For information, call 425-827-4649.

Car the� s in King County have declined by more than half since the in-ception of the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s O� ce implemented what they named the ‘Car � e� Initiative’ (CTI) in 2005.

Just seven years ago, King County ranked sixth in the nation in the rate of auto the� .

� e National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reported that for 2011, the Seattle-King County metropolitan region ranked 12th for the number of stolen cars.

� e number of auto the� s nationally is also trending down with a 3.3 percent drop from 2010 to 2011.

� e Crime Bureau reports that auto the� s nationally are now at the lowest point in the last 45

years.� e Washington Auto

� e� Prevention Authority is echoing similar positive trends statewide when it comes to auto the� . It reports that statewide, auto the� s have declined 43 per-cent from 2005 to 2011.

In the last � ve years, the average sentence for an auto thief has more than doubled from 27 months to 66 months in prison.

In 2007, the Elizabeth Nowak-Washington Auto � e� Prevention Author-ity Act was enacted by the Washington state Legislature. � at program provides grant money for assisting law enforce-ment in investigating and preventing auto the� s in the state. It is funded by a surcharge on tra� c infrac-tions.

When the prosecuting

attorney and law enforce-ment launched the new car the� initiative, there were approximately 17,700 reported car the� s in King County. In 2011, that num-ber fell to 8,623. � at means that there were 9,000 fewer stolen cars in 2011 than there had been in 2005.

Using the National Insurance Institute’s average claim for loss of $8,600 per stolen vehicle, this decrease re� ects a savings of over $80 million to King County insurers over the course of 2011.

� e savings to citizens, insurance companies and the overall improvement to public safety have been enormous.

Political o� cials and candidates met with Kirkland residents to gather votes, share their rhetoric and discuss issues on women’s health and small business during a

Democratic rally Friday at Marina Park Pavilion.

“I want you to know, Kirkland is the only two-time-stop on our 26-city bus tour,” said U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, who also came to Kirkland on Oct. 29 to visit small businesses. “� is is the second time

we’ve come to Kirkland because you’ve heard ‘as Ohio goes, so goes the nation’ and you know that people say you can see all the votes from the Space Needle? Not quite. But if you do really well in those areas, as Kirkland goes, so goes King County - so goes this election.”

� ere were more than 100 people at the event.

Kirkland city o� cials, Mayor Joan McBride and 45th and 48th District Legislative candidates Rep. Roger Goodman (D-Kirk-land), Rep. Larry Springer (D-Kirkland) and Cyrus Habib, a Democrat from Kirkland, joined Cantwell, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, gubernatorial candidate Jay Inslee and 1st Congres-sional District candidate Suzan DelBene at their Kirkland stop during their

“Jobs for Washington Tour.”Kathleen Drew, candi-

date for Secretary of State and Bob Ferguson, candi-date for Attorney General also joined Democrats at the rally.

� e job tour started in Yakima and reached cities across the state. � e tour is geared around supporting job growth, educational opportunities, veteran job training and will run until Nov. 4.

“We are a team that will not allow Rob McKenna to take us backwards and take away the right of women to get access to health coverage for mammogra-phies, for contraception and other services. We’re going forward in the state of Washington,” said Inslee. “We’re going forward to protect women’s right of choice. We’re going forward to pass the Reproductive Parity Act.”

Krista Warnock, owner of a growing small busi-ness, Spa Krista, shared with Kirklanders that her business has continued to grow since its infancy and she praised state sena-tors for their support of Cantwell’s Small Businesses Lending Fund, which has given more than $21 million to small business

owners in the past. She says she wants to bring more opportunity and jobs to Kirkland.

Other speakers empha-sized the importance of supporting the A� ordable Care Act so that all women could have access to health care. Many joked that being a woman is not a “pre-ex-isting condition” and Habib also mentioned his concern that his multiple cancer di-agnosis has caused trouble in the past with insurance companies.

While job growth was a big topic for DelBene and Inslee spoke of clean energy, Murray’s striking

example of gender inequal-ity hit home with many Kirklanders.

“I walk into this negotia-tion, all men except me,” said Murray, a� er she was called back to a budget meeting. “� ey wanted to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood.

“� ey said, ‘Patty if you just agree to this, tomor-row morning government will stay open, everything will be good,’” she contin-ued. “I looked around that room and I said ‘not on my watch.’”

Both Cantwell and Mur-ray urged voters to vote for DelBene so that she could help lead Congress to pro-tect women’s reproductive health rights.

LWIT Board of Trustees names McGavick as interim president

� is week Lake Washing-ton Institute of Technology’s (LWIT) Board of Trustees appointed Dr. Sharon McGavick as interim president of the col-lege, e� ective Nov. 7. She replaces Dr. David Woodall, who passed away suddenly on Sept. 3. Dr. McGavick recently served as LWIT’s president from 2008 to 2011.

“Dr. McGavick’s demonstrated excellence in education leadership, administration and program development; extensive, experience with workforce development, funding and operations, and the commu-nity/technical college com-munity; and her unequivocal commitment to LWIT as a broad-based polytechnic college providing numerous workforce pathways to all our students makes her very well suited to move our college forward,” said Bruce J. Reid, chair of the LWIT Board of Trustees. “We are very pleased that Dr. McGavick has accepted the role as interim president.”

During Dr. McGavick’s recent presidency at LWIT she lead the college toward its � rst applied baccalaureate

degree; the development of several new programs – in-cluding occupational therapy assistant, physical therapy assistant, esthetician, massage practitioner, wine technology and the state’s � rst funeral services education program; successfully received funding for the new Allied Health Building; and intensi� ed the institute’s focus on polytech-nic education.

“I’m pleased to be back at LWIT to fully support the mission and vision of the

college, if even for a short period,” said Dr. McGavick, who retired in 2010. “I look forward to providing leadership to the tremendous faculty and sta� while the college, community

and board conduct a national search for a president.”

Prior to her presidency at LWIT, Dr. McGavick served as president of Clover Park Technical College from 1997 to 2006 a� er working as the dean of instruction at Green River Community College for six years. She received her doctorate in education from Oregon State University in 1984.

An interim president serves as the college’s leader, entrusted with all the execu-tive power of the president, while the Board of Trustees conducts a national search for a permanent president. � e board will begin their presidential search this month with the goal of select-ing a candidate no later than May 2013.

Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWIT) is a broad-based polytechnic college o� ering instruction in 36 areas of instruction toward a spectrum of more than 100 bachelor and associate level degrees and certi� cates designed to give students the latest cutting edge skills relevant to today’s workplace.

The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statisti-cal round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers.

District State Sen. Rose-mary McAuliffe (D-Both-ell) against Northshore School Board member Dawn McCravey. McAu-liffe held an advantage in the first results released Tuesday evening, 57.27-42.6 percent (6,734-5,010 votes). The district covers the north end of Kirk-land.

The 1st Legislative District has two races to send a representative to Olympia. Incumbent Luis Moscoso (D-Mountlake Terrace) leads challenger Mark T. Davies 64.35-35.45 percent (7,036-3,876) for Position 2.

In the Position 1 race, former Bothell Deputy Mayor and Republican candidate Sandy Guinn is trailing incumbent Derek

Sanford (D-Bothell) 59.6-40.28 percent (6,850-4,630).

The 32nd Legislative District includes all of Finn Hill in Kirkland with both state legislative posi-tions up for grabs.

In Position 1, incum-bent Cindy Ryu (D-Shore-line) leads her Repub-lican challenger Randy J. Hayden 76.35-23.45 percent (15,526-4,775).

Position 2 has incum-bent Ruth Kagi (D-Shore-line) leading her Repub-lican challenger Robert Reedy 77.56-22.53 percent (15,715-4,520).

The race for King County Sheriff looks to be over as John Urquhart is defeating interim Sheriff Steve Strachan 57.35-42.23 percent (254,600-187,491).

The secret to incredible soups and risotto? Rich, nourishing homemade stock, made fresh right in your own kitchen.

Key to creating flavorful stock is using the freshest ingredients you can find: organic chicken, high-quality, farm-fresh vegetables and perky, fragrant herbs.

Visit PCC’s website to learn how to make poultry stock and vegetable stock with recipes, slideshows and how-to video tutorials that walk you through each simple step:

www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/pcc/videos/make-your-own-chicken-stock-scratch

Before you know it, you’ll have this treasure stowed in your freezer -- your very own secret ingredient for future memorable meals.

Basic Chicken StockIngredients3 pounds uncooked chicken pieces or trimmed bones (wings, legs, backs, thighs, necks and breasts in any combination)2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme2 to 3 sprigs fresh rosemary2 to 3 sprigs fresh parsley2 bay leaves2 carrots, cut into large dice2 ribs celery, cut into large dice1 large onion, peel left on and cut into large dice1 large leek, cut into large dice2 small or 1 large tomato(es), cut into chunks3 to 4 cloves garlic, crushed4 whole cloves6 peppercornsSalt and peppers, to taste

PreparationWith a length of kitchen twine, tie herbs together with the bay leaves into a bundle. Place the chicken, carrots, celery, onions, leeks, garlic, tomatoes, herbs, cloves and peppercorns in a large soup pot and add enough cold water

to cover them by about 2 inches (about 4 quarts). Bring the pot to a simmer, and skim any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat so the liquid is barely simmering. You should only see a few bubbles intermittently rising to the surface. Cook, uncovered, for 3 hours. During the cooking process, add a little more liquid to the pot if needed to keep the ingredients submerged.Strain the stock, pressing hard on the meat and vegetables to squeeze out the juices. Discard the meat and vegetables. Season the stock with salt and pepper. Remove the excess fat from the surface of the stock by either skimming with a ladle, using a fat separator or you may place the stock in the refrigerator overnight and remove the solid fat layer that rises to the top.

Important note: Cool your stock as quickly as possible. Here are two methods:

1) Place the pot in a bath of ice water in your sink. Stir occasionally until cooled, then refrigerate.

2) Let the stock cool for about 15 minutes, then pour into individual canning jars (cleaned and sterilized) and refrigerate. Leave a little room at the tops of the jars to allow for expansion if you plan to freeze them. Store the stock in the refrigerator for several days or freeze it for up to several months.
