Four candidates vie for council position No. 2 during primaryIncumbent Shelly Kloba faces local business owner, Kirkland Park Board member and a third generation Kirkland native BY TJ MARTINELL

[email protected]

� e race for Kirkland City Council Position No. 2 seems to be more of a com-petition between di� erent leadership styles and expe-rience rather than opposing ideological views.

Incumbent Shelley Kloba, who was appointed to the position in 2013 and

won re-election, is running on her ability to collaborate with other councilmembers on accomplishing things for the city, as well as her perspective from previous work in advocacy.

“I have a record that they can look at,” she said. “(As an advocate) I know what it’s like to be on that side of the desk. I remember what

kind of leader I wanted across the table from me, and I work hard to try to be that.”

Among the council’s accomplishments, she cited the city’s Triple A credit rat-ing while keeping the price of government low, as well as the council’s progress with the Aquatic and Rec-reation Community (ARC)

Center, which � rst came up while she was serving on the Kirkland Park Board.

“To see that so many people are falling in love with it… I think those are some major things that I’m pleased with,” she said.

One of Kloba’s oppo-nents, Bill Henkens, said he brings the perspective of local business owners

as well as residents who live in the 2011 annexation area of Kirkland. A 35-year resident and owner of the Game Neighborhood Bar and Grill in Juanita, he said his taxes for the business have gone up by $5,000 a year since annexation.

“Anytime you have a high taxation issue it a� ects your ability to give people raises,”

� e Kirkland Police Department is looking for more volunteers for its Domestic Abuse Response Team (DART) program, which helps victims of domestic violence.

� e volun-teers provide support for victims of do-mestic violence by doing follow-up phone calls, assisting victims brought to the police station a� er a domestic violence incident and oc-casionally aiding o� cers on-scene.

“We’ve had that going for quite some time and we’re getting a little low on volunteers,” Kirkland Police Department spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray said. “It’s been really good for our department.”

During the past � ve years, the KPD handled 2,984 domestic violence case reports and made 368 adult arrests for domestic violence, along with 34 juvenile arrest, according to Murray, who said that the rate has remained about the same.

“It’s a pretty regular signi� cant crime,” he said. “� ere isn’t a shi� that goes by that there isn’t one or two domestic incidents a day. And sometimes it might range from folks yelling at each other to an

actual assault.”� e KPD has

two full-time detectives who handle domes-tic violence cases as part of

the family vio-lence unit, which

also deals with child and adult abuse

incidents, according to Murray.

“� ey’re plenty busy,” he said.

When it comes to responding to domestic violence calls, Murray said one of their biggest chal-lenges is the unpredictable circumstances or behavior they encounter. In some instances, he said, o� cers will arrive at a residence where a couple has been � ghting, determine the man was responsible, only to have the woman suddenly turn to defend him.

Simplicity Decor hosting Johnston for book signing

Simplicity Décor will host a book signing event with local outdoor enthusiastic Greg Johnston; the author of a brand new book “Wash-ington’s Paci� c Coast; A Guide to Hiking, Camping, Fishing and other Adven-tures.”

� e signing will take place from 6-9 p.m. on July 25.

Johnston was also the editor for the Kirkland Patch website.

“I met Greg a few years back when he worked for AOL’s Patch media group as local journalist helping raise awareness for local busi-nesses,” said “A” Suraphong Liengboonlertchai, the owner of Simplicity Decor. “Later I learned that Greg loves outdoors and photog-raphy and recently published

his own book so I invited him to share his new adven-ture at my store in the form of a book signing event. I feel honored to host this event.”

� is book signing event will be held outside of Sim-plicity Decor store on the brand new Park Lane sidewalk.

Johnston plans to share his insight and details about his new book along with a slideshow and behind the scenes footage of his adven-tures.

“I strongly believe in giving back to this com-munity and I am so proud to have more opportunity to do so through various events and programs,” Liengboon-lertchai said. “� is kind of event makes me feel like Simplicity Decor is part of this beautiful and vibrant community as we celebrate and highlight the talent of

our Kirkland native Greg Johnston.”

Johnston is a Kirkland native, lifelong outdoors nut and journalist who has worked as a reporter for the Associated Press, the Daily

World and Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspapers and AOL’s Patch Media Corp.

Johnston has a long and inti-mate relationship with Washington’s 157-mile Paci� c coastline.

In a voice that is distinctive, passionate, o� en opinionated and clearly knowledgeable, he describes the coast’s abundant outdoor recreation opportunities in his new book.

The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter police blotter is not intended to be represen-tative of all police calls originating in Kirk-land, which average about 1,000 per week.

Between July 10-16, there were 261 traffic incidents, 30 traffic accidents, five DUIs, 28 general traffic incidents, 33 alarm calls, 16 abandoned ve-hicles, seven burglaries, nine incidents of fraud, 12 civil incidents, two cases of harassment, 25 thefts, 17 vehicle prowls, two vehicle thefts, seven warrants served, 18 noise com-plaints, nine animal calls, six incidents of domestic violence, five incidents of malicious mischief, arson, rape, homicide, 14 disturbances, one trespass, two sex offenses, one assault, six hit and run and 27 incidents involving at least one arrest.

July 15Protection order violation: 11:15 a.m., 98000 block of NE 116th St. A 39-year-old man was arrested after he was found inside a vehicle with a 42-year-old woman in violation of a no contact order for domestic violence.

July 14Trespass: 9:16 p.m., 12000 block of 120th Pl NE. A 66-year-old woman was

arrested after getting into an altercation with the 47-year-old night manager for the Motel 6. The night manager requested she be removed, and due to a previous trespass letter already on file, the woman was cited for violation of the trespass order along with being removed from the property.

July 13Theft: 6:35 p.m., 200 block of Parkplace Ctr. While at Parkplace, an officer was informed of a 28-year-old disheveled homeless man who had attempted to steal alcohol from the QFC. The officer spoke to the man, who was still holding the bottle in his hand, and asked if he

was going to pay for it. The man answered, “No.” He was

cited for theft, released and removed from the property.

July 12 Assault: 2:07 p.m.,

100 block of Lake Street S. A 25-year-old woman

was arrested and booked for domestic violence after

attacking her 36-year-old boyfriend. Accusing him of

stealing a $100 bill from her, she then kicked and punched him, and bit him several times. The boyfriend finally jumped out the second story window to escape. She later found the $100 bill in her own property.

July 11Vehicle theft: 8:19 p.m., 200 block of Parkplace Ctr. A 17-year-old girl got into an argument with a 30-year-old man while they were driving. When they parked, the man became upset, exited the vehicle and smashed the girl’s phone. He then threw a bottle of orange juice at her and pushed and

hit her. He then stole her car and fled the scene. Charges were filed through investigation.

July 10Theft: 7:15 p.m., 14400 block of 124th Ave Ne. A 15-year-old girl shoplifted a bottle of alcohol from a store. Loss pre-vention was able to get the bottle back but the girl fled the scene. An officer located her and she was arrested and later released to her adult sister.

CRIME ALERTThis week’s…

Police Blotter

Rep. Larry Springer. Henkens said one of the

main things he would focus on if elected would be af-fordable housing, which he said will be needed for the new employees who come into the area once Parkplace and Totem Lake Malls are redeveloped.

“� ere’s going to be hundreds, maybe even a thousand of new service workers having all those retail jobs,” he said. “� ey need to be able to live here. Not to mention the city employees - they need to be able to live here. � e 23 people I employ have a chal-lenge � nding places to live in Kirkland. It doesn’t help to have these people com-mute from Everett into Kirkland. � en we ban plastic bags to save the environ-ment, and we have people drive in (to Kirkland) because they can’t a� ord to live here.”

One way to make housing more a� ordable, he sug-gested, would be to provide local property tax breaks for landlords who keep the rent rate the same for a certain period of time.

Another priority for Henkens is the city’s budget, which he believes should

allocate funds to the depart-ments on a needs basis in which the directors have to justify the money they request.

“� e very � rst thing I think needs to hap-pen is to take a look at how much money we’re collecting and how we’re spending it in terms of city government,” he said. “We need to hold down tax increases as much as possible

to assist all the small business in the area [so they can] prosper.”

For Jory Hamilton, a for-mer Boy Scout from Troop 565 on Finn Hill and recent University of Washington

graduate, housing is also a main issue for the city.

“My concern is the prices are going to keep going up and up and trying to � gure out what can we do to help people � nd a place to live in Kirkland

whether they want to live in a big house or a small house,” he said. “� ere isn’t an easy answer.”

Jason Chinchilla, another one of Kloba’s three oppo-nents, said he would o� er a youthful enthusiasm to the council.

“I want to come in as someone who is young, who

has energy, who has fresh ideas and who wants to work with Kirkland’s resident to make the city better now and in the future,” he said.

A member of the Kirkland Parks Board, he also is the youngest board member at the private high school he graduated from in Kirkland. His time volunteering with the city, he said, has made him more aware of what issues concern residents the most.

“People want to raise their children to be healthy or with healthy lifestyles, not have to get into a car to get to a park,” he said. “Being on the board let me know what Kirkland-ers care about, what they worry about, and what they would like the city to do.”

Chinchilla also said he’s in favor of maintaining strong neighborhood ties in the city.

“People strongly identify by those neighborhoods, and I think that’s what sets us apart,” he said. “I think Kirk-land has that true community neighborhood feel to it, and going into the future I always want to protect that.”

When it comes to dif-ferentiating themselves from Kloba, both Henkens and Chinchilla have voiced their

opposition to the plastic bag ban, which Kloba voted in favor of along with the other councilmembers, save for Toby Nixon. Prior to the vote, a survey showed that nearly

70 percent of those polled were opposed to a ban.

Hamilton, how-ever, said he would have voted for the bag ban as well, say-ing the sample size for the survey was too small.

“I will listen to people and do my best to do what they want,” he said, “but as a leader I understand you have to do what’s unpopular sometimes.”

Kloba has defended her vote, saying she based her decision o� of more than just

the survey results, and that it is not an issue when she speaks to residents.

Beyond his op-position to the plastic bag ban, Henkens cited his manage-ment background experience, which he feels is more appro-

priate for a council position. “I think Shelley is a really

nice lady,” he said. “I just hap-

pen to possess a completely di� erent skill set.”

Chinchilla added that he would oppose property tax increases, which by state law the city can only raise by up to one percent per year.

“I think Kirkland residents deserve a break,” he said. “I believe property taxes, if they keep going up, hurt senior citizens or people with limited incomes… it a� ects families and children. Whether you rent or own... it can a� ect you.”

Speaking with residents during door-to-door stops, Kloba said a large concern she’s heard from them is transportation and tra� c congestion, which she said will require several solutions such as the construction of freeway ramps for Interstate 405 at Northeast 132nd Street, an intelligent tra� c system that will o� er real time adjustment for tra� c signals and improvements along the 100th Avenue cor-ridor to mitigate congestion.

“� e reality is... to keep building lots of roads is not the solution that would provide us with the walking communities,” she said.

CKC bike riders need to respect others on the trail

I agree with Zita Petkus. I live in the Forbes Creek neighborhood. I walk my dog Izzie along the CKC many times per week. Izzie is always on leash as she wanders back and forth on the trail sniffing at things un-seen. I rein her in when I see fellow walkers or bike riders coming towards me. I wouldn’t have a problem with bike riders coming up behind me if only they would announce themselves. The sound of tires rolling on gravel does not allow much time to react. I am afraid that one day my dog or I will be clipped by a bike rider and we’ll all pay a price.

I suggest that the new security officers on their four-wheelers spend some time educat-ing bike riders about the rules of the road and common courtesy. Bells and voice calls are an easy solution.

And if the bikers don’t comply, let’s hire Seattle Officer Glen Mulkey (Seattle Times front page, 7/16/15).Bill Hoover, Kirkland

Support Ken Rogers for Port Commissioner

My husband and I are residents of Kirkland

and are both business owners in our commu-nity. As citizens who contribute to stimulat-ing our local economy, we place a high value on supporting candidates who will navigate King County on a path of growth and suc-cess.

One new leader who has come into focus for us is Ken Rogers, a candidate for Seattle Port Commissioner. Ken has deep roots in King County and decades of experience in aviation.

The Port of Seattle is an economic powerhouse for our region. Many are not aware that 80 percent of the port’s total revenue is related to aviation. Yet the port lacks a commissioner with significant airport and airline experience. Ken Rogers has the aviation expertise the Port needs. Ken flew for the US Air Force before completing a long career flying and serving on the Board of a major airline. For over 25 years Ken has been a member of the Air Lines Pilots Association, gaining experience in successful labor rela-tions. Ken understands of the challenges and complexities of transportation, government regulations, labor relations and the business economics of trade and transportation. He has lived and raised his family in South King County for over 30 years.

We urge voters to learn more about Ken and his many endorsements at www.rogers-

forport.org, and to vote Ken Rogers for Se-attle Port Commissioner Position 5 on your Aug. 4 Primary ballot. We need his leader-ship for the Port of Seattle.Carmen Andonian, Kirkland

Kirkland Uncorked bordered on being a rip-off this year

My wife and I have attended and en-joyed Kirkland Uncorked in years past and eagerly anticipated this summer’s event. What we found however was a hollow imitation of prior years festival

of food, wine and music. It bordered on a rip-off.

We arrived at 3:30 p.m. and stayed until 6:30 p.m. In that time there were two food vendors handing out samples. We waited in a long line for a slider from The Lilac Café and by the time we got through that, the other vendor had closed for the day. In the time we remained, no other restaurant vendors set up booths.

So for the $67 we spent to attend we got 12 wine tastes and a single pork slider each. Next year we’ll just go to The Grape Choice and buy two bottles of good wine then go to Burgermaster.Rich Thomas, Kirkland

“I am considering it depending on what he does,” Hobbs said. “Right now we have an e� ective Lieutenant Governor, and until that changes I’m happy to continue working on economic develop-ment, transportation and education issues for the hard working people in my district.”

Hobbs must be con� dent Owen will decide to not run, because he’s already mulling the kinds of obstacles he’d face in what would be his � rst state-wide campaign. One issue, money, is not an im-mediate problem. He’s socked away about $150,000 in surplus campaign funds that could be used.

But Hobbs iterated that his decision hinges on whether Owen runs again or retires.

And Owen said, “I’m not sure when that decision will be made.”

To keep his options open, Owen said he would register as a candidate with the state Public Disclosure Committee. And he’ll set up a campaign committee to raise money, should he go forward.

All this campaign talk is pretty rare for a fairly unique position in state govern-ment, with both executive and legislative duties.

� e lieutenant governor is president of the state Senate. He presides during � oor sessions and, as the chamber’s lead parliamentarian, can issue rul-ings which uphold or derail contested legislative maneuvers.

And the lieutenant governor is � rst in the line of gubernatorial succession, which means he steps in

as acting governor whenever the real one is out of state or otherwise unable to serve. It happened 69 days in 2011 and 45 in 2012.

Owen has been doing this job for a long time. He was � rst elected in 1996. He’s guided the state Senate through its share of rough-and-tumble sessions with a steady hand and timely humor.

But he could face a tough time securing a sixth term because of his past o� -the-dais behavior.

In 2014, the Washington State Executive Ethics Board � ned him for improper use of state resources in support of his now

defunct nonpro� t Strategies for Youth. Among its � ndings, the board concluded sta� in the lieuten-ant governor’s o� ce worked on taxpayer time for his nonpro� t.

Owen insisted he did nothing wrong but agreed to pay the � ne to put the episode behind him. But that issue is certain to resurface should he run again and it may be too much to overcome.

Meanwhile, it’s not abundantly clear why Hobbs – who was mentored by Aaron Reardon and in turn mentored Kevin Hulten – now wants to be lieutenant governor. Last year, Hobbs was weighing a run for county executive.

� e job would pay a greater salary and give him the title of ‘acting governor’ a few times a year. But the 45-year-old husband and father of three would lose much of the in� uence he now enjoys in the Legislature.

“It is a leadership role. It is an executive position,” he explained. “I see the o� ce as more than presid-ing over the Senate. It is a means to move our state forward and facilitate a compromise when both parties are at loggerheads over an issue.”

And a means for the ambitious Hobbs to build on his political résumé – but only if the job opens up.

Endless Summer DaysWhen we were little Mom would boot us out of the house and tell us to go play with our toys in the backyard. She had too many chores to doto hang out and “entertain” us all summer. She would cook, clean, do yard work – all the adult stuff that seemed so boring.

Once in awhile, when the sun was so hot and the days were so long, even Mom couldn’t resist the allure of the “swimming pool”! She would try to cool off alone and my brother and I would have nothing of that, in we’d go and spoil her moment to chill and relax.

Now I’m her caregiver with life responsibilities and kids of my own. And I know what she knew back then – summers fly by in an instant.

If you are caring for a parent, full or part time, you deserve a break. Go ahead and plan that summer get-away, it’s important to reconnect with your spouse and kids – slow down, breathe. Peace of mind is possible, just call Áegis Living.

5,000th pet adoption for Pawsitive Alliance at event in Kirkland

Nearly 100 cats and dogs were adopted in just four hours during the Pawsitive Alliance’s Bow Wow Meow Luau multi-shelter adoption event held at Denny’s Pet World in Kirkland. � e 12th animal that was adopted dur-ing this event was the organi-zation’s 5,000th adoption.

All 195 adoptable cats and dogs who attended the event were brought by western and central Washington rescues and shelters, not private owners or breeders, and each animal was perfect in their own way but just lacked a perfect home.

“We were thrilled to see a line of people extending into the parking lot before the event started at 10 a.m. � is shows that people are opting to adopt – homeless animals are wonderful and shelters and rescues really are a great source for a new pet,” said Tammy Halstead, board member.

As successful as this event

was, many wonderful dogs and cats weren’t adopted and are still waiting for their next chance to � nd a great home. To help them � nd their perfect home, more than 200 homeless animals will be brought to the 2015 Woofs-tock Pet Adoption and Music Festival, being held Aug. 1 in Tacoma, in partnership with Dugan Foundation.

Organizers thanked Denny’s Pet World, Canine Behavior Center, Nature’s

Variety, Blue Bu� alo, Petcu-rean, Stella & Chewy’s, and Natural Balance for their support during the event in Kirkland.

Nature’s Variety also par-ticipated in the “Pound for Pound” pet food challenge with Denny’s Pet World held during the month of June. More than 1,100 pounds of pet food was collected and donated to the 15 participat-ing shelter and rescue organi-zations at the event.

Pawsitive Alliance is a vol-unteer driven organization working to end the eutha-nasia of adoptable cats and dogs in Washington State by increasing adoptions, supporting spay and neuter programs and providing education and resources to improve pet retention.

BY TJ MARTINELL

[email protected]

� e Kirkland City Council approved a “right-size parking” ordinance on Tuesday that alters the parking requirements for multi-family residential developments.

Before the vote, the city’s standard was 1.7 parking stalls for every bedroom. In the central business district, the current multi-family parking requirement is one stall per bedroom with minimum average of 1.3 stalls per unit, plus 0.1 stalls per bedroom for visitor parking.

� e new standards re-

quire 1.2 stalls for a studio, 1.3 for a one bedroom, 1.6 for two, and 1.8 stalls for a three-bedroom unit.

� ese standards apply everywhere in the city except for the Yarrow Bay Business District 1, where the South Kirkland Transit Oriented Design Site is located, which is on a case-by-case basis.

� e ordinance increases the base minimum parking by 10 percent, to be set aside for visitors.

Under the new rates, if a development required less than one full parking stall, developers wouldn’t have to build a stall if there is street parking within

600 feet of the property. If a developer wanted to reduce their amount of parking required, they can do a parking demand study of similar sites. � e results of the parking demand would have to be increased by 15 percent, with an additional 10 percent guest parking.

� e Planning Com-mission recommended excluding the Totem Lake Business District and North Rose Hill from the new standards, while allowing developers the option to do a parking study for possible modi� cations. � e council

also supported applying the rates there, as well.

“Totem Lake Urban Center is a vision of the future,” Councilmember

Toby Nixon said at the council’s July 7 meeting. “It’s not real today. � ere’s basically no streets

that allow on street parking. It should be

what we said. You have this base policy with the option of allowing a modi� cation.”

� e ordinance originally would have provided a 15 percent reduction of required parking for devel-opments within half a mile of the downtown transit center, but the language

was ultimately removed. During a study session

by the council at its Feb. 4 meeting on a right size parking ordinance pro-posal, councilmembers dis-cussed the study the Plan-ning Commission claimed found a surplus of parking stalls in residential develop-ments. � e study itself was based on the King County’s Right Size Parking (RSP) project, which discovered the same surplus. Some residents, however, have criticized the study’s � nd-ings for what they feel were unaccounted variables, with others having stated that the proposed changes would reduce the amount

of parking in the city. Late last year, the Kirk-

land Alliance of Neighbor-hoods voted unanimously to request public comment be extended on the pro-posed ordinance to allow more input from neighbor-hood residents.

� e Planning Com-mission � rst took up the matter at a study session in November 2013 with the Houghton Commu-nity Council. Kirkland is expected to have 7,300 new multi-family housing units by 2035, according to the King County Growth Countywide Planning Policy growth targets.

Kirkland police K-9 tracks car prowel suspect, arrest made

Kirkland Police o� cers arrested a car prowler a� er responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle in an apartment complex in the Totem Lake Neighborhood on July 16.

A resident of the apart-ment complex reported seeing a male throwing documents and credit cards from the vehicle and driving throughout the complex.

� e call came in to the KPD at 2:43 p.m. and o� -cers responded to the 13100 block of NE 120th Lane.

O� cers contacted a male sitting in the driver’s seat of the running vehicle. � e male refused to exit the vehicle or comply with o� cers’ commands and upon contact drove out of the complex at a high rate of speed.

Police spike strips were utilized and the vehicle continued to drive away from o� cers, coming to a stop a� er the tires deterio-rated to just the rims due

to the successful spike strip deployment.

� e driver � ed on foot and was apprehended by Kirkland K-9 � or. Kirk-land residents are encour-aged to report suspicious activity and car prowls to the police by calling 911.

City, Cascade Water Alliance hosting event about water usage

In the midst of a state-wide drought, Kirkland and the Puget Sound region have su� cient water for normal activities through planning, strategic invest-ment and a commitment to serve its residents. But it’s a critical time to remember to use water wisely while also understanding the need of water and how each individ-ual values it.

� e city of Kirkland and Cascade Water Alliance (Cascade) invites residents to a unique interactive display with the following prompt: “We need water because….” � e blackboard-like display will debut at Kirkland’s Juanita Beach Park at 3 p.m. on July 31. As part of the debut, Cascade will have a water e� ciency booth where residents may create their own home water

conservation kit including water-saving showerheads, faucet aerators, toilet leak detection dye, shower tim-ers and more.

Seattle Tilth will host a kid-friendly interactive watershed model to learn everyday ways to support clean water in Lake Wash-ington. A free kids’ cra� ac-tivity of making rain sticks will be hosted by the city of Kirkland. � ese activities will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Park which is located at 9703 NE Juanita Drive. � ose interested in sharing their thoughts online can post them at weneedwater-because.org and #weneedwater-because.

“Kirkland is extremely blessed as a waterfront community and our drinking water quality is exceptional,” said Kirk-land Deputy Mayor Penny Sweet and Cascade Board Member. “� is awareness campaign and community conversation is important and should resonate loudly with our community.”

Sweet and City Council Member Doreen Mar-chione, alternate Cascade Board member will be at the kick-o� event.

As a member of Cascade, Kirkland purchases its water from Seattle Public Utilities

(SPU). � e water is then distributed to Kirkland residents through Kirkland’s water distribution system. SPU performs most of the sampling and treatment for Kirkland’s drinking water. � e Kirkland Water Divi-sion operates and maintains the system’s water distribu-tion lines, pump stations and storage reservoirs.

� e city of Kirkland has more than 12,000 connec-tions serving families and businesses within almost 10 square miles. � e City is

served by more than 170 miles of pipe,

three pump stations, two reservoirs and almost 1,900 � re hydrants.

“Our goal in this interactive

display is to start our community talking about this important resource,” said Cascade CEO Chuck Clarke. “Cascade is proud of its outstanding delivery of high-quality, good-tasting water to its residents and we are proud to help foster this discussion. We look forward to hearing from those who get our water to tell us why it’s important to them.”

Cascade provides safe, clean, reliable drinking water to more than 350,000 residents and 20,000 busi-nesses throughout Bel-levue, Kirkland, Issaquah,

Redmond, Tukwila, Sammamish Plateau and Skyway. Collectively, its members have 275,000 connections, 1,600 miles of pipe, 60 pump stations, 25 wells, 11 treatment facilities and 25,000 � re hydrants – all always on and always at residents’ service.

for Invisible Fence. “We’re truly changing

the way people live with their pets both indoor and outdoor,” he said. “Most of our customers are profes-sionals and so they want a pet that brings them com-panionship, but they’re also busy. � e solution that we provide to them makes it easier to manage and have their pet.”

� e brand o� ers several products that can control where the pet is allowed to

go and when. For ex-ample, the owner can use the product to keep a cat or dog o� a certain sofa, couch or even the trash. � eir doorman product can be timed to give the pet exclusive access in and out of the house using a collar, and the access can be cus-tomized if there are several pets in the house.

“� ey don’t have to worry about letting the pet out at � ve o’clock,” Welch said. “� ey don’t have to worry about getting out of the yard… they don’t have to worry about the pet getting on a white sofa. � e indoor solution keeps the pet away from the sofa, but still allows the pet to run freely through the house. It just makes it easier to have a pet and to incorporate them into your life.”

� e system has proved popular for cat owners in the Seattle area, where Welch said they have more

cat owners (though the owner may have other pets) on their system than any-where else in the country.

Welch said the store was forced to move when the building owner decided to use it for another purpose.

“When we were search-ing for a new location we knew we wanted to be close to where we were before but have better access to customers,” he said. “We were looking for communi-ties well known to be pet friendly. We did look at market penetration rate. � e Bellevue-Kirkland area was our � rst two choices and with the dog friendly community there is in Kirkland, that became our top choice. We were lucky to � nd a location in Kirkland.”

when it’s going to happen. In a family or domestic type situation, emotions are a lot higher and more on edge. They can be more unpredictable about how people are going to react.”

Although there are some cases where there are random outbursts of physical violence, Mur-ray said most of the time alcohol is involved and the incident is precipitated by suspicions of infidelity.

“It’s just the trust thing,” he said. “That tends to be where one side or the other thinks they’re with somebody else or not where they said they are. Everybody’s grab-bing the other’s phone…that’s the more common we see, that instant anger type thing. What happens is that cycle of violence. Once the guy starts that, and if he grew up that way, that’s all he knows. Pour a few beers on top of that and there you go.”

The “he said, she said” incidents also make it difficult to determine who the primary aggressor is, Murray said. Attempt-ing to get both sides of the story without further violence, when emotions are still high, can lead to further violence.

“It’s difficult for the offi-cers, especially if only two

show up,” he said. “They have to separate them to get each of their story, but they got to be able to stay safe and keep each other in proximity. If they go off, the officer has to be able to help out the other one.”

Another problem with domestic violence cases is that the victims will often not cooperate with the prosecutors for various reasons.

“Even though they may have been a victim of a pretty good assault, you get into the pattern where he says he’s sorry and he won’t do it again,” he said. “We know it’s all gonna happen again, so that’s a difficult situation. A lot of times the cases are dismissed.”

However, Murray added that if the prosecutors of-fice and detectives are able to get enough evidence to press charges, they will move forward with the

case, even if the victim won’t show up to court or give a witness statement.” The DART volunteers can help, Murray said, by speaking with the victims and possibly photograph-ing any injuries that are more obvious several days after the incident.

But the hardest thing for the volunteers, Murray said, is to convince the victims to get out of the cycle of violence.

Any potential DARt volunteers must attend a 20-hour, free training, which will cover provid-ing emotional support, the dynamics of domestic violence, safety planning, the criminal justice system and referring commu-nity support services.

Special to the Reporter

Lively Turkish music plays through the open doors of Alanya

Café. A steady � ow of smil-ing and chatting customers come and go, as owners, John and Eylen Saribas, greet many by name.

Eylen bakes Turkish pas-tries every morning, includ-ing nut and honey-� lled baklava and burma, and places them in a front dis-play case. Layered beef and lamb for döner sandwiches spin on the rotisserie in the back.

In February 2014, John and Eylen opened Alanya Café in downtown Kirk-land, a restaurant which combines friendly service with authentic Turkish cuisine.

Fi� een years ago when John, 49, and Eylen, 35, married and moved to Washington from Turkey, they weren’t expecting to open a restaurant. Af-ter having their son and

daughter, Eylen worked as a chef on the Microso� cam-pus. � ey soon decided that owning a restaurant would be a worthwhile dream.

In October 2013, they purchased the building and settled on a name, Alanya Café, which is named a� er the Turkish resort town where they honeymooned.

Among homemade Turk-ish spiced tea, traditionally served Turkish co� ee and numerous Turkish pastries, Alanya Café o� ers their most well-loved dish, döner

kebab. It’s the authenticity of the döner that has put the café on the map. It’s the dish that people know, and the fact that it’s made fresh for each order is what separates it from other gyro restaurants, Eylen said.

“I know what gyros are, and this is better. � e quality of the meat is sig-ni� cantly better,” said Susan Price, a regular Alanya Café customer.

John prepares the meat for three hours every day, which gives the dish its

authentic quality. He uses beef and lamb from local butchers, layering it one by one onto his döner kebab rotisserie.

“When you cut into the meat, you get both. If you just do beef, it will be so dry. If you just do lamb, it

will be so heavy,” John said. Having worked in restau-

rants in Turkey and Europe, John knows how to prepare quality meat for the döner kebabs. Using a large knife purchased in Turkey, he shaves the layered meat for each individual meal.

Likewise, Eylen takes time to prepare the veg-etables and various ingre-dients, going to wholesale companies to hand-pick the food in order to ensure premium quality.

“I make everything daily, just enough for that day,” Eylen said.

As the owners and only working sta� of the café, John and Eylen arrive at the café around 9 a.m. seven days a week. Eylen Saribas explains that once they open, they’ll remain open until the last customer is served, even if that cus-tomer arrives � ve minutes to closing time.

� e dedication and commitment is tough, but according to John and Eylen, it is worth it. � ey feel proud to serve people the cuisine they know best, and most of all, as they both expressed of the café, “It’s our own.”

Alanya Café is located at 1 Lake Street in downtown Kirkland.

Kirkland hospital receives honor for electronic medical records

EvergreenHealth received Stage 6 designation of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Adoption Model, recognizing the two-hospital healthcare system’s e� orts

to put in place technology solutions with the ability to improve patient safety and quality of care. With this achievement, Evergreen-Health joins 22 percent of hospitals in the U.S. that carry a Stage 6 distinction from HIMSS Analytics, a nonpro� t leader in health information technology (IT) implementation.

� e HIMSS Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model is an eight-stage process that tracks the level of EMR adoption within healthcare organizations.

Each stage, 0-7, is measured by cumulative capabilities that must be reached before moving to the next stage. Stage 6 hospitals, like Ever-greenHealth, operate a near paperless system with an EMR that integrates comput-erized nursing and clinical documentation, medication administration, physician documentation and order entry, clinical decision sup-port and digital radiologic imaging capabilities.

“� is truly represents an enterprise-wide achievement that re� ects our commit-

ment, now spanning over a decade, to adopt widespread use of healthcare technology,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte. “� anks to the e� orts of many across the full spectrum of Evergreen-Health to implement this technology, we are setting the foundation for tangible improvements in patient care for years to come.”

EvergreenHealth started its path toward this ac-complishment when it � rst brought its Cerner healthcare IT system online in 2002 with the goals of achieving

stronger provider-to-provid-er communication, increased patient care safeguards, higher patient engagement and ultimately better patient outcomes. Hospital leaders plan to reach Stage 7 over the next few years by incorporat-ing the remaining require-ments into ongoing organiza-tional IT priorities. � is will include establishing capabili-ties for Data Warehousing to standardize and store data from many sources, Breast Milk Scanning for tracking purposes and data continu-ity between the Evergreen-Health hospital campus in Kirkland and its network of a second full-service hospital in Monroe, two urgent care clinics, three emergency rooms, 10 primary care locations, 25 specialty care

practices and a 250-member physician group serving northern King and southern Snohomish counties.

As part of e� orts to advance value-based care, EvergreenHealth also achieved Meaningful Use Stage 2, a Medicare and Medicaid incentive program for the meaningful use of EMR technology to im-prove patient care. In 2015, EvergreenHealth earned six designations among the top � ve percent of hospitals na-tionwide as a Distinguished Hospital of Clinical Excel-lence from Healthgrades®, ranks as the top community, non-teaching hospital in the Seattle area by U.S. News & World Report and was named 425 Magazine’s best hospital and health system.

The Kirkland City Coun-cil approved a resolution at their July 7 meeting open-ing up Lake Avenue West, one of a handful of streets that has permit-only park-ing, to downtown employ-ees in an effort to improve parking availability.

The council’s vote, which will allow employees to permit park 24 hours a day, is part of an overall strategy the city is imple-menting that involves both long-term and short-term

solutions for downtown parking after a study found nearly all the stalls are filled for most of the day and recommended adding over 100 new stalls. The idea was first recommended in May by the Planning, Housing and Economic Develop-ment Committee.

Two councilmembers, Tony Nixon and Dave Asher, voted against allow-ing downtown employees to park on Lake Avenue West, with Nixon saying the city needs a consistent policy to apply to other neighbor-hoods that might also be af-

fected by spillover parking before moving forward.

“I really don’t like the council placing ourselves in situations where we’re having to decide these on a case by case basis and getting accused of giving special consideration,” he said. “I’d rather have it be objective.”

The Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods (KAN) has established a task force to examine the issue of parking that spills over into residential neighborhoods.

Right now, the city is carrying out short-term

solutions approved by the council including improve-ments to the library garage on Kirkland Avenue and increased signage at loca-tions such as City Hall, where people can park for free in the evenings and on weekends. The city is also looking into converting its property south of City Hall into a parking lot and possibly developing the Lake and Central parking lot into a multilevel city-owned parking structure with retail on the first floor and a restaurant rooftop plaza. For the short-term,

the city extended the paid parking times at the lot to between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Previously, the paid park-ing time started at 5 p.m. They are also looking into a validation program of some type.

At recent council meet-ings Lake Avenue West residents voiced their opposition to the pro-posal, including at the June 16 meeting, saying that the street, which has no sidewalks, is not capable of handling additional ve-

hicles and would create un-necessary safety issues for pedestrians who walk on it. One resident also asked the council limit downtown employee parking on the street to working hours. Ac-cording to city documents, residents also feared that downtown employees will use private driveways as turn-arounds when there is no room to maneuver.

Other streets in Kirkland near Juanita High School also require permits during the day.

Council loosens parking permit requirements for local employees

A Kirkland man and a Redmond man were sentenced to prison in U.S. District Court in Seattle on July 20 in connection to a hash oil explosion at a Bel-levue apartment in 2013.

Daniel James Strycharske, 29, of Kirkland and Jesse D. Kaplan, 32, of Redmond were each sentenced to three years in prison and three years of supervised release.

Last month the lead defendant in the case, David Richard Schultz, II, 33, was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Schultz was using highly explosive butane gas to make hash oil in the Hampton Greens Apartment complex on Nov. 5 while the other two apartment residents were sleeping. The gas exploded and numerous people in the apartment complex were injured fleeing the fire.

“As I emphasized when the lead defendant was sentenced, this case tragi-cally demonstrates why BHO extraction operations are so dangerous,” said U.S. Attor-ney Annette L. Hayes. “Just like the meth labs we have worked so hard to eradi-cate, hash oil labs involve dangerous solvents and pose a serious risk of death and property damage.”

One of them, a former mayor of Bellevue, died fol-lowing treatment for injuries sustained while trying to escape the building.

“What moves the court is the loss of life, the per-manently disabling and significant injuries the people received all because they lived in an apartment build-ing with these defendants….who undertook this incred-ibly reckless and dangerous activity,” said U.S. District Judge James L. Robart during the sentencing hearings.

Kaplan and Strycharske rented the apartment and allowed Schultz to set up the BHO manufacturing equip-ment in their space, accord-ing to court documents. The men planned to sell the BHO for profit. All three men suf-fered injuries in the explo-sion. Former Bellevue Mayor Nan Campbell was hospital-ized for a broken pelvis she suffered trying to escape the flames. She later died fol-lowing complications from her hospitalization. Two other apartment residents suffered shattered bones as they had to jump from their

upper level apartments. In all, the fire caused more than $2 million in property damage. The total amount of restitution owed by these defendants will be finalized by a hearing scheduled for Sept. 21.

The judge determined an upward departure from the sentencing guidelines was warranted for the defendants in the case because of the severe damage to the com-munity.

“I am troubled that the conduct was motivated by greed – the money that could be made by manufacturing

hash oil,” Robart said.
