Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen was re-elected to

head the Kirkland City Council and Councilman Jay Arnold was elected

deputy mayor during the Council’s first meeting of 2016 on Tuesday night at Kirkland City Hall. Both will serve two-year terms.

During the meeting, Councilmembers Toby Nixon, Shelley Kloba and Dave Asher were sworn

into office by Kirkland Municipal Judge Michael Lambo after winning re-election in November. Kloba begins her second term as a councilmember while Asher is the longest tenured councilmem-ber, being first elected

in 1999. Nixon was not challenged during the election.

In 2013, the Alliance of Eastside Agencies, a professional membership organization of human service providers, hon-ored Walen as the Elected

Official of the Year. In June of 2015, Associa-tion of Washington Cities (AWC) presented Walen with the Advocacy All-Star Award, celebrating her actions in advocating for Kirkland and cities around the state. Walen

is the CFO of Ford and Hyundai of Kirkland.

Walen, who was se-lected unanimously, will serve her second term as mayor, while Arnold replaces Councilmember Penny Sweet, who chose

City still considering options for CKC recommendationBY TJ MARTINELL

[email protected]

As more details emerge from Sound Transit as to its plans for an upcoming bal-lot measure this November, some Kirkland city o� cials are considering possible support for light rail on the Cross Kirkland Corridor.

At its Jan. 5 meeting, the City Council discussed the latest information to come from Sound Transit based on a December workshop examining candidate proj-ects for their ballot mea-

sure, three of which would involve placing some form of rapid transit on the East-side Rail Corridor (ERC), which runs through the city of Kirkland along with other municipalities on the Eastside. Kirkland city o� cials also met with the public at a meeting Monday night at the Lake Washing-ton Institute of Technology to provide an update on where things stand, as well as solicit further feedback from residents before send-ing a letter to Sound Transit stating their recommenda-

tions for projects. During the Jan. 5 meet-

ing, city of Kirkland Public Works Director Kathy Brown said that one of the revelations to come from the December workshop is that Sound Transit is looking at longer � nancing term, which she said could make light rail a� ordable and, in their mind, doable on the CKC in the ST3 package. Because of this, she said, city o� cials could see supporting light rail “as long as its recast in a way we could consider either

mode in the future knowing that nothing is going to be built right away.”

“We have years to really work with the community and � gure out what works best,” she said.

“If a larger/longer ballot measure is proposed, Kirk-land sta� are recommend-ing that the ST3 measure includes full funding for light rail from Totem Lake to Bellevue, but that there be su� cient � exibility in the language to allow for BRT on that segment if the

King County took the � rst steps towards opening a trail on its section of the Eastside Rail Corridor by removing railroad spikes on the Bellevue and Kirkland boundary on Friday.

� e ceremony took place near the South Kirkland Park and Ride at 108th Avenue Northeast, where the Cross Kirkland Cor-ridor interim trail ends. � e tracks will be salvaged and sold to pay for the costs of their removal and possibly go toward the construction of the new trail.

O� cials attending the ceremony from Kirkland included City Manager Kurt Triplett, Mayor Amy Walen, Deputy Mayor Jay Arnold, state Rep. Joan McBride and former mayor Deb Eddy who works with the ERC’s Regional Advi-sory Council.

While speaking dur-ing the ceremony, Arnold said that “the value of the corridor increases not just with each connection node added, but with each trans-portation mode added.”

“By working together we’re extending this trail to light rail in Bellevue and by pursuing our long held vi-sion of trails and transit we will turn this corridor into a world-class multimodal transportation facility con-necting the Eastside to the region,” he said.

He also mentioned Kirk-land’s plans to construct a 65-foot elevator to provide better access from the street to the trail.

� e county owns roughly 15.6 miles of the 41 mile corridor that stretches from Renton up through Bel-levue, Kirkland, Redmond and Woodinville. Kirkland and Redmond each own the sections of the ERC in their

city limits. � e 5.75 mile CKC interim trail opened last year and is the only developed trail so far on the ERC.

During the ceremony, King County Executive Dow Constantine said the removal of the historic railroad tracks marks the beginning of a new use for the corridor and toward “putting to productive use this last long unbroken strip of land running north and south in East King County.”

� e county is currently working on its own dra� for a trail master plan and intends to release it, along with an environmental impact statement, some-time next month for public feedback and community outreach. � eir hope, he said, is for the trail to con-nect people from Totem Lake to Montlake and from Google to the University of Washington, ultimately

connecting to 13 major trails.

“� e value of this trail cannot be overstated,” Con-stantine said.

Recently elected King County Council member and former Bellevue mayor Claudia Balducci called the � rst step toward a new trail “an incredible opportunity

to the people of our region,” while adding that it also marks a new stage in com-munity outreach. Balducci represents the 6th District which includes Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond, among other areas.

“We need to continue to work with those already living near the corridor to

achieve the current and fu-ture potential of the ERC,” she said. “But also with those who live a quarter mile away, a half a mile away, so that everybody sees the potential here and everybody circles around to support this vision.”

Bellevue Mayor John Stokes, who also spoke at the ceremony, said that the county’s trail will provide better connection for people to jobs and rec-reation, including the 70 miles of trail located inside Bellevue.

“I can’t imagine a better place to be to really start my term than helping remove these railroad tracks,” he said.

Also attending were members from the Cascade Bicycle Club, with Ex-ecutive Director Elizabeth Kiker saying, “What we’re doing here is the next na-tional standard.”

Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is conducting a land exchange hearing regarding the Saint Edward Seminary located at Saint Ed- ward State Park in the city of Kenmore. In the land exchange, State Parks would acquire a 9.77-acre property known as the McDonald property (Parcel number 1426049014) in exchange for a 4.99-acre property to be acquired by Daniels Real Estate. The purpose of the land exchange is to:1. Expand the overall footprint of the park with the acquisition of the McDonald property. The land is contiguous with the park and includes 450-feet of shoreline on Lake Washington.2. Facilitate rehabilitation of the Saint Edward Seminary for use as a hotel. In addition, Daniels

Real Estate would acquire the pool and gymnasium buildings. The hearing will be held Febru- ary 9th at Kenmore City Hall, 18120 68th Ave NE in the Com- munity Meeting Room and Council chambers. The meeting will begin at 6:30 pm. Published in Kirkland Reporter on January 15, 2016.#1515046

Kirkland community con-cludes BRT is a better � t,” a city memo reads.

However, councilmembers like Dave Asher expressed reservations about light rail, though stated a need to work with Sound Transit.

Although there are sev-eral candidate projects that would have Sound Transit in Kirkland, many city o� cials like Mayor Amy Walen believe some of them will not adequately meet the needs of the city for the future.

“A bus stop on 85th Street is completely unacceptable,” she said. “We must insist on service for Kirkland in 25 years.”

� e future of the CKC, and the possibility of rapid transit being placed on it, has produced a strong response from the community, many of whom are resistant to the idea of motorized transit of any kind in the corridor and are opposed to the city’s stated intent to lobby Sound Transit to include a pro-posed project for bus rapid transit (BRT) in the ERC. At the same time, organiza-tions such as Save Our Trail has urged both the city and Sound Transit to put BRT on Interstate 405 instead, which they believe would be much cheaper to build and operate, as well as support more riders and move them faster than if placed on the trail. So far it has garnered 1,500 signatures for its online petition.

Kirkland residents op-posed to the plans fear that transit will ruin the feel of

the CKC and is an inap-propriate location for transit while the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes remain relatively free for buses.

One man who spoke during the public comment section of the city’s Jan. 5 meeting against transit on the corridor told the council that “we are very organized and we are ready to take this � ght to the next level.”

“We are asking you, we’re directing you, as the elector-ate, when the city of Kirkland makes their recommendations to Sound Transit, that it be crystal clear that the people of Kirk-land do not want buses on that trail. What we want is buses on 405, where they belong,” he said.

Other residents who spoke in opposition to BRT on the CKC said that it would lead to tra� c congestion within the city at intersec-tions between the roads and the corridor. As envisioned by the city, a BRT system would have buses arriving at designated stations every � ve minutes.

However, consultants hired by the city to study Sound Transit projects from a Kirkland perspective claimed later during the meeting that other cities, such as Cam-bridgeshire, U.K. has a similar BRT system without tra� c problems.

“In Europe, people are used to this,” one of the consultants said. “It’s very common.”

� e consultants also said

that the CKC would o� er a bypass route for those trying to get to Seattle, whereas those on I-405 get caught up in the tra� c particularly where it meets state Route 520.

At a meeting in November, residents wearing green in protest packed the Kirkland Performance Center for an open meeting with the city a� er they announced their plans to lobby Sound Transit. Earlier this year the council

approved a $250,000 study of the corridor

for the purpose of using it to in� uence Sound Transit to not only go with BRT

but do so in a way that would mitigate impacts on

the CKC. Resident fears were

articulated in a recent city memo, which described “an overarching concern from community members, even those with di� erent view-points about HCT (High Capacity Transit) on the CKC that Sound Transit may not construct the corridor in a way that takes Kirkland’s interests into account.”

“Some of those who have said they oppose HCT on the CKC have said that they would support it if there were a ‘legally binding’ way to ob-tain assurance that the CKC would be built out according to the Master Plan vision,” the memo reads further.

� e greatest complication in the discussion by far has been the di� erent types of ownership of the corridor. While King County owns around 15 miles of the ERC including the section through Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond own the sections within their jurisdiction. However, Sound Transit has a 30-foot easement through-out the entire corridor for the purpose of placing high capacity transit there.

During the Jan. 5 meet-ing, Walen noted that “this conversation would have been totally di� erent if Kirk-land hadn’t purchased the corridor.”

“Everything we have done is to improve the corridor and we will not allow it to be ruined,” she said.

Regardless of what project makes the ballot measure or

whether voters even approve it in November, nothing is expected to be placed on the corridor any time soon. King County recently held a ceremonial removal of railroad spikes along with the ERC at the 108th Avenue Northeast crossing between the Bellevue-Kirkland border to signal its own plans to

develop a trail there in 2017 similar to the CKC, which Kirkland o� cially opened in 2015.

According to Kirkland city o� cials, the soonest anything would go on the corridor would be roughly 8-15 years for bus rapid transit and near-ly twice as long for light rail.

Are mistakes in tolling costing I-405 drivers?

I have just received a “Good To Go” pay by mail toll bill for $2.75 for my late mother’s 1982 Subaru. This vehicle has been sitting in my garage since January 2011, does not run, and does not have current tabs.

The bill provides a toll bill dispute form that would require me to attach documenta-tion that proves that the charge is incorrect. How does one prove that the car would not run on the date in dispute?

My first inclination was to just pay the $2.75 because I would probably spend a lot of time, getting nowhere, in an attempt to settle this dispute, but I decided that I was not go-ing to pay a bogus bill. I called the customer service center and was flabbergasted to learn that the photo that was supposed to show my mother’s car actually showed just bare pave-ment - no car at all. When I questioned the representative about how they came up with the Subaru license number, he said he didn’t know but would delete the charge.

I wonder how many “mistakes” are being made and what percent of the mistakes are being discovered and challenged. According to Lynn Peterson, the CEO of Washington State Department of Transportation, the company responsible for the I-405 tolling is Electronic Transactions Consultants(ETC) based in Richardson, Texas. ETC receives 55 percent of the gross tolls that they col-lect. If they make 1,000 $2.75 “mistakes” that go unchallenged, they will pick up an extra $1,512.50. A 100,000 $2.75 “mistakes” and their cash register rings to the tune of $151,250. Sweet.

Why is WSDOT using an out of state vendor in order to collect tolls on our roads, especially Electronics Transactions Consul-tants, a firm that has been embroiled in law-suits in Louisiana and Miami? WSDOT also gives 15 cents per toll to a Rockville, Mary-land company that is involved in the opera-tions and maintenance of the tolling system. More importantly, I wonder why WSDOT is allowing these out-of-state vendors to keep more than half of the revenue that they col-lect on our toll roads.

Keith Dunbar’s suggestion that the tolls be replaced by an increase in the gas tax is right on target. Not only is the gas tax a fair way to fund improvements to our roads, but no billing companies are needed to collect this revenue, the motorist doesn’t have to deal with bogus billing activities; and better yet, 100 percent of the money collected stays in the state of Washington.Laurel D. Lupton, Kirkland

Don’t support bus rapid transit on the CKC

As homeowners in Highland Pointe, we do not support bus rapid transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor. There are numerous considerations for our position including the habitat (it is used by deer, rabbits and coyotes) as well as the wetland aspects that should be left intact. It is incumbent upon the makers of policy for the city of Kirkland to maintain the integrity of the trail as it ex-ists, not destroy it.

Additionally, there are many safety con-cerns with buses on the Cross Kirkland Trail:

It is near many parks and schoolsIt’s used by many school children and pro-

fessional going to workIt connects neighborhoods and has a lot of

pedestrian cross traffic

We will oppose ST3 if it includes transit on the Cross Kirkland Trail.Beverley and Curt Kiessig, Kirkland

Rapid Transit on the CKC is unconscionable

I do not support bus rapid transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor.

There are many safety concerns with buses on the CKC:

It is near many parks and schoolsIt’s used by many school kidsIt connects neighborhoods and has a lot of

pedestrian cross trafficI will oppose ST3 if it includes transit on

the CKC.It is incomprehensible to me how any right

minded individual would think and pro-pose that mass transit sharing a pedestrian/bike trail is a “good idea.” This is a very bad alternative when clearly there are other work-able alternatives. I live two blocks up from the trail in the Houghton area. If this rapid transit proposition was going to be the city’s and Metro’s choice, why in the world was the trail established in the first place. Why didn’t the powers that be just remove the tracks and trail and put in a public road that mass tran-sit could utilize. Why mask the project as a lovely, natural, safe haven for pedestrians and cyclists? Rapid Transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor is unconscionable.June Schenck, Kirkland

Why is Potala disregarding EIS?

Potala Village Kirkland underwent an Environmental Impact Study and then with the city agreed to compromise mitigations to address incompatibility and impacts.

Why does the current Potala proposal seem to disregard (and no longer honor) the mitigations?

This is my shortest letter to the editor, but has me scratching my head more than any before.Karen Levenson, Kirkland

Trail will have more value in 30 years than a bus line

I have two questions for the Kirkland City

Council and the City Manager. Have you walked the CKC (Cross Kirkland Corridor) trail from one end to the other? Have you used Metro buses on the eastside and specifi-cally through Kirkland?

The city of Kirkland has identified and signed large areas along the CKC path as environmentally sensitive areas, which in-clude wetlands and steep slopes. Will the city ignore their own environmental regulations, including Washington State Department of Ecology laws and regulations so they can build a bus or rail system? Dear City Council, you don’t let private property owners fill in wetlands or construct on steep slopes, so why can government do this?

Secondly, it may surprise the City Council and City Manager, but we already have bus service that crosses Kirkland from Totem Lake to the South Bellevue Park and Ride. We have transit centers adjacent to Evergreen hospital, downtown Kirkland and the park and ride. There are multiple bus lines that crisscross Kirkland. We don’t need to spend $70-90 million on another bus line. What we need is increased frequency and expansion of Metro bus service through and to Kirkland and simply expand what is already in place.

Come on (Mayor) Amy (Walen), get out of that new car you drive and take a bus and see what is out there. If the council wants to leave a legacy, how about leaving a beautiful greenbelt and trail that goes the full length of Kirkland. Valuable open space, in an urban area will have more value in 30 years than a bus system that cuts through neighborhoods, parks, roadways and school areas.Patrick Harris, Kirkland

Keep your pets inside, don’t hate the coyotes in Juanita

Twice this week I have seen a coyote in the Juanita neighborhood between Northeast 124 and 128th streets. Likely this is the same coyote but there could be many more. This beautiful animal walked right past us last night on its trek back to the greenbelt hill-side. It seemed unfazed as it trotted past my dog Joey and me. Luckily Joe is better than 100 pounds and not meal size.

Tonight I found a flier for a missing cat lost in the neighborhood. Hopefully this cat will come home but

from its current headquarters in Seattle.

Natalie Price, spokesper-son for Talon Capital, said that they are discussing pos-sible leases with several other businesses, but no deals have been completed yet.

“� ere are still discussions and hoops to jump through,” she said. “You just never know with these deals. I’m assuming that things will move forward but there are a lot of moving parts and a lot of partners in the deal.”

� e � rst phase of the

redevelopment is expected to begin this year, with most of the businesses in the section of the site moved out and re-located. One of the last busi-nesses to remain, Parkplace Cinema, showed its � nal movie earlier this week.

� e � rst phase of rede-velopment will include the demolition of 505 Parkplace Center where Todd’s Crab Cracker is located and the building across from the QFC, where an underground parking lot will be installed. � ree new buildings will then be constructed, two

o� ce and one residential featuring 190 apartment

units. Each business will have its own storefront.

It’s resolution season again, that time-honored exercise of

self-restraint when people try to negate the fallout from holiday celebrations and other indulgences. According to sta-tistics, however, these well-mean-ing attempts are mostly doomed to fail. � e vast majority of ‘born-again’ dieters and exercise enthu-siasts will give up in less than a month. � e reasons can be myriad, and some-times they are beyond a person’s control. But there are also ways to beat the odds and � nd success at last.

One reason so many people get frustrated with their weight loss e� orts is that they expect too much too quickly. In fact, setting unrealistic goals can sabo-tage the best laid plans.

Especially with weight loss, people should not look for fast results but for lasting outcomes. Attacking the problem rigorously with short-term strategies may be more attractive to some, but radical approaches are usually unsustainable and even counterproductive over time. In any case,

you shouldn’t wait until January 1st and then try making a complete U-turn from what you’ve been do-ing for far too long.

“Losing weight and get-ting healthy isn’t some-

thing that happens once a year – it’s something that should last a life-time,” says Toby Amidor, a Reg-istered Dietitian, consultant, and book author.

� at doesn’t mean making resolu-tions is always a futile enterprise that should be abandoned altogether. For those who are willing to roll the dice once more, despite past disappoint-ments, Amidor has good advice on how to jump-start a new round.

Whatever you’re plan-ning to do, she says, it’s important to set not vague but speci� c, achievable goals. Do your research, so you know what you’re getting yourself into before you start out on the wrong track. Determine up front what success or failure would look like and how to measure each. Team up with like-minded people who share your as-pirations and support you. Seek professional help and

guidance if need be.However, even the

best thought-out guide-lines will not help if they are not applicable to an individual. � e only diet or � tness regimen that works is the one you can stick to, says Kathleen M. Zelman, a Registered Dietitian and Director of Nutrition for WebMD. In the end it doesn’t matter what someone should do,

but what he or she can do, she says.

So before you decide on a particular diet program, you need to narrow your choices down to what suits your needs, your lifestyle, your particular circumstances, she says.

� e same, of course, goes for your exercise routine, how you handle stress, and how much sleep you get – all important

components for success-ful weight management. If any one or more of these is missing, there will be enough amiss to make you fail again. But also be aware that implementing changes in your habits takes time. And if success doesn’t show up right away, don’t be surprised, and keep work-ing at it.

a standing executive order, inquests are convened to determine the causes and circumstances of any death involving a member of any law enforcement agency within King County while in the performance of his or her duties.

� e order signed by the executive requests that King County District Court Pre-siding Judge Donna Tucker

assign a judge to set a date and conduct the inquest. � e ordering of inquests is a function vested in the county executive under the King County Code.

Prior to being shot, Bur-gess attempted to give away a three-year-old boy, presumed to be his son, when police were contacted by local residents. � e boy was not present when Burgess was shot, as he was recovered

by o� cers a� er their initial encounter with Burgess in which the man � ed and later attempted several failed armed carjackings.

Burgess was registered as a violent o� ender, with a registered address at an in-tersection on the Bothell and Kenmore boundary, though he was reportedly living out of motel rooms with his wife and son.

Inquests provide transpar-

ency into law enforcement actions so the public may have all the facts established in a court of law. � e order-ing of an inquest should carry no other implication. Inquest jurors answer a series of interrogatories to deter-mine the signi� cant factual issues involved in the case, and it is not their purpose to determine whether any person or agency is civilly or criminally liable.

Kirkland-based en-trepreneurs Mary Ellen Heinen and Len Kawell have released a third ver-sion of their Timebox app that is intended to help users handle the growing number of photos they take on a regular basis, especially while on vaca-tion.

Timebox 3.0 automati-cally organizes all photos and videos in the user’s library and syncs them across Apple devices through iCloud.

Kawell said that the app, which costs $4.99, is ideal for people who take lots of photos and/or videos and are look-ing for a way to organize them efficiently. The app also helps because many of those same photos land on Facebook or Insta-gram, while others merely consume storage space on devices.

“One of the things we noticed is that people are collecting more and

more digital media,” he said. “Photographs are one of the biggest things. Now that everyone has a camera in their pocket, they take pictures con-stantly. There are just a ton of photos that they don’t ever look at again. It just takes up space. So our goal is to try and help people do something with that huge collection of photos.”

Some of the ways that Timebox can organize photos is based on their description, the day they were taken or by the captions. The variety of search methods makes it possible to track down photos a user has lost or can’t find. For those who have thousands of photos, Kawell said, the automatic process can cut down on the amount of time they spend organizing their photos.

“People don’t have a lot of time to do this kind of organization, they see it as a chore,” he said. “Timebox 3.0 eliminates

the chore and to make it automatic as possible. We organize it all for you. You can continue to organize it yourself but you get a lot of work done for you.”

The third version is based on feedback they received from users. The most common thing they heard, Heinen said, is that they loved the app but wanted it to be even easier and faster. One of the ways it does this is by automatically adding titles to a day’s photos and videos, so users don’t have to manually tag each photo after the fact.

The app can now put together photos, videos and live photos into a single video. This feature, they said, will have a large appeal for people looking to put tother something for a trip, wedding, birth-day or family vacation without having to spend hours producing a video compilation with editing software.

“You can do it with

editing apps, but it’s literally one button press to stitch together videos and photos from a day,” Kawell said. “We do it regularly, and it’s great for trips because it organizes the days of your trip. You don’t have to worry too much about it. We think that’s a particularly handy use for it for families and anyone. Now that every-one has a camera all the time, it’s easy to express yourself or remember an occasion with a photo. In a previous era, we had to write letters in words. You can capture the whole scene in a photograph.”

The video can then be sent to friends and family through a variety of social media handles as well as email.

“Sharing is so impor-tant,” Heinen said. “You can really stay connected by easily sharing little movies of things.”

Heinen and Kawell previously co-founded Pepper Computer, Inc. a software and hardware developer for tablets. They also co-founded Glassbook, Inc., a software company that developed the Glassbook eBook reader.

The Kirkland City Council voted to amend the municipal code to include several street parking restrictions based on feedback from both police and resi-dents.

The ordinance prohib-its vehicles with expired or invalid license tabs from being parked on city streets and makes it a civil infraction to park a vehicle in a way so that it covers two or more parking stalls or in an area used to maneuver out of other parking stalls.

Another provision in the ordinance restricts parking near mailboxes, requiring at least seven feet and six inches on either side between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. unless when necessary due traf-fic conflicts on narrow roads or for picking up and dropping people off.

Some of the recom-

mendations were made by the Kirkland Police Department, according to a city memo, based on difficulties in writing citations for vehicles with outdated or inac-curate information.

Others, such as the restriction on parking near mailboxes, were made by the Kirkland Alliance of Neighbor-hoods, which has been conducting a review of parking problems. Other possible changes to parking on city streets may be added in the future.

In September, the council voted to prohibit drivers from using elec-tric charging stations as parking spots for their electric cars, stipulating that they actually charge their vehicle while oc-cupying the stall.

The driver also has to pay a fee to use the charging station if the other parking stalls sur-rounding it require a fee to park.

perhaps not. Please keep your pets inside. Cats are hard on the native bird spe-cies and efficient wildlife kill-ers. Believe it or not they also taste good to a coyote. I love cats and have been known to share my house with them. I have also seen one of my beloved cats being carted off to the brush in the mouth of a coyote.

Don’t hate the coyote. If you love your pets then keep them inside. And watch for this beautiful wild creature in its natural habitat, Juanita.Mike Jeffers, Kirkland

Donald J. Trump’s lies have to stop

Here is another install-ment in the saga in the continuing soap opera called Donald J. Trump.

I believe that Mr. Trump stands in front of his mirror every day and if he doesn’t get the answer he wants, then he says who can I destroy today. I remember when ev-eryone called Bill Clinton the teflon candidate, well I am calling Mr. Trump the “Silky” Candidate.

I believe if anyone ever talked or acted like Mr. Trump stating:

1. He wants to build a wall on our southern border to stop all Latinos that are crossing our border - Because he says they are all criminals, drug dealers and rapists!

Of course this is another lie!

I am very surprised that Mr. Trump hasn’t asked that Sen. Rubio and Sen. Cruz prove that they are legal citizens. As he demanded President Obama do. To prove he was born in the United States legally.

2. He stands at the podiums and belittles and

degrades all women, in other words, I consider him a “sexist” and then he says that he respects and loves all women?

“No one loves women more than me.” Now what does that mean? Isn’t it against his religion to be married and then divorce and then to get married again, where is his family values?

3. He wants to stop letting into the United States of America all Muslims. As ev-eryone knows it is illegal and against our Constitution.

4. He stated that thousands of Muslims in New Jersey were cheering as the Twin Towers were destroyed on 9/11. Again, another lie.

5. It wasn’t until after Mr. Trump started talking and screaming against the Muslim people that sev-eral Mosques started to get bombed. I never heard Mr. Trump even plead and tell people to stop losing control and cause harm to anyone on any of their properties. Which was very disgraceful.

6. He also stated that there has never been a sports star that was Muslim. Again, another lie.

What about Muhammed Ali, one of the greatest pro-fessional boxers ever. Are you

really going to tell me and the world that he never heard of Ali? Another lie.

Mr. Trump would prob-ably be using the phrase “I am the greatest,” but as everyone knows it was used and coined by Muhammed Ali.

What about Kareem Abdul Jabbar, one of the best of all time professional basketball players to ever play the game? What is more remarkable, Kareem even has a picture of both Trump and Kareem together. He lied again.

I know if I or anyone else tried to say or state these claims against so many dif-ferent people, we would be fired for discrimination.

7. How dare Mr. Trump stand at a podium and make a mockery of a distinguished reporter because the reporter has some physical disabili-ties. He stood up at the podium and shook his hands and mumbled his words and then he had the gall to say he didn’t even meet or know the reporter. And again he did meet the reporter. Another lie! How much longer are we going to put up with his lies and mocking? Enough is enough.Mel Aznoff, Kirkland

Pray for our blessings and police

I have a question regard-ing the new Crane in its Vigilance sculpture recently unveiled at the new Kirkland [Justice Center]: The crane with the stone in its claw is a very nice symbol and I’m sure the sculpture is a very fine piece of artwork, but how many people are aware of the true source of our protection and security? Our lives depend on the answer to that question.

It has been written, “Un-less the lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest eating the bread of anxious toil, for He gives to his beloved sleep.” It has also been written, “do not put your trust in men, no, not even in princes.”

Truth matters. Knowing the truth can make the differ-ence between life and death and the truth is that Jesus is our only hope. Jesus is the only one who can solve the problem of sin and the evil that comes from it.

The police and the courts

can do so little to stem the tidal wave of darkness, violence and evil that is now sweeping over this world. According to news reports of the New Years Eve attacks on women in Cologne, Germany, there were 1,000 or more criminals and 200 police officers. According to one police officer, officers’ or-ders were ignored, they were pelted with lighted fire crack-ers and glass bottles and if an officer tried to speak with one of the miscreants, he was immediately surrounded and menaced by several of the miscreant’s buddies.

Please do not be fooled into thinking that things like this can only happen to other people in other parts of the world. Sin is universal and the only reason that America has been so relatively free of this kind of evil is because of our Judeo/Christian heritage and culture. But that is rapidly disappearing and we are becoming so much more vulnerable.

Police do not just have a tough job. They have an im-possible job. Only with God’s power, wisdom and guidance can they even hope to do it. They need our prayers. Jane Peterson, Kirkland

As the Parkplace plans for redevelopment progress, the nearby

Areté Kirkland on Central Way is starting to � ll up.

Local developer former Kirkland City Council member Robert Pantley of Natural Built Environments said the � rst three buildings have been completed, with two more to come. Both are expected to be completed sometime this spring.

� e residential space, which includes micro-apartments with commu-nity kitchens, is intended to provide a living space for artists to work and live in downtown Kirkland. Out of the 152 units, he said, around 122 have been leased already.

� e name “Areté” comes from a Greek word which refers to moral virtue or “excellence of any kind,” and for Pantley it represents the kind of atmosphere they want to promote for the artists.

“It’s excellence in the hu-man endeavor,” he said. “It’s about being the best you

can be to the point of being virtuous, to really mean it and to live it. None of us are perfect we all strive to be perfect.”

� e apartments are also designed for those who work in Kirkland and want to avoid commuting but aren’t able to a� ord high rent in the area, though some retail and restaurants are planned.

� e residential units also appeal to those like Dierdre � omas, who used to teach art and did abstract painting before a health condition impacted the use of her hands and required her to use a cane to get around. Living at Vision Five in Redmond, another one of Pantley’s residential developments, she moved to Areté to take advantage of its ideal loca-tion in downtown, along with the handicap-friendly elevators that allow her to live on an upper � oor. Last month for Christmas, Pantley furnished her with a scooter to help her get around downtown easier.

Although she’s not doing art anymore, � omas said Areté appeals to artists.

“I think a lot of it too is the atmosphere,” she said. “You’re around a bunch of di� erent people who really have the drive to want to produce the art.”

� e community space includes an artist room and a private music jam room where people can play music and have dinner. � ere is also another large conference room open to the public for free.

“People are always trying to � nd places for them to meet,” he said. “City hall is always � lled up, so we have a place just for people to meet. It’s a real challenge for people to understand it’s free.”

Since Areté opened late last summer, it has attracted new organizational and business tenants such as the Kirkland Chamber of Com-merce, which was forced to move from its Parkplace o� ce across the street, and Pantley said they anticipate more tenants as word gets around.

“We love Kirkland and we really believe in Kirkland,” he said. “� e personality of Arete re� ects that.”

Former councilman hopes new developments spark excellence

REPORTER STAFF

Redmond police recently concluded a long investiga-tion of a car prowler, who was sentenced on Dec. 18, 2015 in King County Supe-rior Court.

According to a Redmond Police Department (RPD) press release and the King County Prosecutor’s O� ce, Denis Podgayets — who was connected to 10 cases in Redmond — received a 60-month prison sentence for felony car-prowling charges. He was also given 65 months in prison and 12 months Department of

Corrections supervision on a drug charge, which he will have to serve once he gets out of prison.

In September 2015, Pod-gayets pled guilty to a variety of charges, including one count of felony car prowling and second-degree identity the� from Redmond cases, a non-felony car prowl in Kirkland and a distribution-of-heroin case � led by another agency.

In the summer of 2014, Redmond police began investigating Podgayets a� er he was identi� ed as a suspect in a car prowl in the Grass Lawn area. � e de-

partment was familiar with Podgayets, having interact-ed with him multiple times. He had a history of confess-ing to only misdemeanor crimes, which allowed him to avoid prison.

A� er a lengthy and thorough investigation, RPD was able to link Podgayets to 10 di� erent car-prowl cases. Due to the fact that he had six prior misdemeanor car-prowl convictions, Redmond police contacted the King County Prosecutor’s O� ce and made a special request that they take this case and � le it under the new

Felony Car Prowl Statute. In July of 2013, the state of Washington enacted a new law allowing anyone with two second-degree vehicle-prowling convic-tions to be charged with a class-C felony upon a third or subsequent conviction.

Based on Podgayets’ his-tory, Redmond police and the King County prosecu-tor worked collaboratively on this case, � ling felony car-prowling charges. He was the � rst person in King County to be charged under this statute.

RPD Commander Shari Francois, who oversees all

investigations for RPD, expressed her appreciation for the o� cers and King County prosecution team who worked this case to completion.

“� ere were so many actions by this one criminal that impacted numerous Redmond victims and other Eastside communi-ties; it took perseverance and extreme attention to detail to link the multiple cases. Taking a proli� c car prowler o� the streets takes time and we appreciate King County prosecution’s commitment to this case,” she said.

Kirkland receives Google e-City Award for Washington

Google and Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen an-nounced that the city of Kirkland has been named the 2015 eCity of Washing-

ton. � e eCity Awards rec-ognize the strongest online business community in each state - the digital capitals of America. � ese cities’ busi-nesses are embracing the web to � nd new customers, connect with existing clients and fuel their local econo-mies.

“We’re proud to recognize this growing entrepreneur-

ial-spirit—and the role that it plays in both creating jobs and sustaining local economies,” said Darcy Nothnagle, Google’s Head of External A� airs in the Northwest. “With 97-percent of Internet-users looking for products and services online, it’s clear that success is about being connected.”

� e award was presented by Nothnagle at the Jan. 5 City Council meeting.

“Kirkland is fortunate to be the community of choice for tech savvy businesses who are making good use of online marketing to grow,” Walen said. “Just as

signi� cant is the presence of Google Kirkland, which continues to provide the tools that help our businesses to prosper.”

Google worked with an independent research � rm IPSOS to analyze the online strength of local small busi-nesses in cities in all � � y states, and Google and Kirk-land are among the ranks of America’s leading cities in the digital economy.

Kirkland businesses al-ready know that Americans are turning to the Internet to look for local goods and services. Businesses need to be where their custom-

ers are, and that’s online. 4 in 5 consumers use search engines to � nd information about local businesses, but less than half of U.S. small businesses have a website and only 37 percent have claimed or updated their business information on a search engine. Complete business information helps generate economic value to individual communi-ties. In small communities, this could be worth up to $300,000+ a year.

Reporter Newspapers

To address continued enrollment growth, the Lake Washington School District Board of Directors is considering a $398 mil-lion bond.

“Basically we’ve done everything we can with the facilities we have,” district spokeswoman Kathryn Reith said. “Really, to do the kind of expansion we need, it takes a bond measure.”

The bond, which might be sent to voters on the April ballot, will fund three new schools and repair some of the oldest facilities in operation.

The school board is expected to vote on the measure at the Jan. 25 meeting. In the meantime, the public can comment on the draft funding model via a district survey, avail-able online through today.

If the bond measure passed, the 2015 tax rate would not increase, Reith

said.The 2016 bond would

be followed by subsequent measures in 2018, 2022 and 2026. The 2016 bond would fund the most im-mediate needs, while the others would focus on long-term needs, accord-ing to district documents.

Among other things, the 2016 bond would fund two new elementary schools and a new middle school to be placed in Redmond; it would upgrade the Old Redmond Schoolhouse

Community Center to include a preschool; and it would replace portables at Explorer Elementary School in Redmond.

In Sammamish, the bond would fund remod-eling or replacing and enlarging Margaret Mead Elementary School.

In Kirkland, the bond would fund remodeling or replacing and enlarg-ing Juanita High School and Peter Kirk Elementary School.

After 10 years of flat or

decreased enrollment, in 2009, the district’s enroll-ment spiked, averaging 625 students each year.

“That’s the size of a large elementary school,” Reith said.

In fall 2015, the district moved up in the rankings, named fourth largest in the state, trailing only Ta-coma, Spokane and Seattle school districts in size. The Lake Washington School District is expected to continue to grow to more than 30,000 students by

2020-2021.The school district’s

Long-term Facilities Planning Task Force had recommended a plan to build new schools and mend older ones, which the board of directors ap-proved in November.

To provide comment on the potential funding model, which follows the task force’s recommended plan, the public can take the district’s survey by visiting www.k12insight.com.

Arts Commission hosts Jan. 20 community event

The Kirkland Cultural Arts Commission invites residents to a continued conversation regarding future art on the Cross Kirk-land Corridor (CKC). The meeting will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 20 at the Kirkland Justice Cen-ter in the Totem Lake Room.

The Justice Center is located at 11740 Northeast 118th Street in Kirkland.

Guy Michaelsen, princi-pal of the Berger Partner-ship, and the consultant tasked with developing a plan to integrate art on the corridor, will lead the conversation. Registra-tion is appreciated and can be found at artontheckc.eventbrite.com.

In 2012, the city of Kirkland purchased a 5.75 mile segment of the 42-mile Eastside Rail Corridor, nam-ing it the Cross Kirkland Corridor. A Master Plan process for the development of the CKC was launched in 2013 and the Kirkland City

Council adopted the Master Plan in 2014. The Master Plan established goals for the CKC, including: Connect Kirkland, foster a greener Kirkland, shape a place unique to Kirkland and activate Kirkland and evolve over time. Build-ing from these goals, the Cultural Arts Commission is leading efforts to de-velop plans for how art, in a variety of forms, including performance, interactive, temporary and permanent, can be incorporated in the Corridor experience.

Additional ideas and in-put can be directed to [email protected].

For more information

about the event, contact Philly Marsh at [email protected] or 425-587-3013.
