Playing violin is cool. At least that’s what Geo� rey Castle wants you to think. And if you’ve heard – or seen him – shredding on his six-string electric violin, you’d probably agree.

A seasoned performer who has called the North-west home for nearly 15 years, Castle fell in love with music whilst growing up in Alexandria, Va.

Raised on the music of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, Castle knew at an early age he wanted to be a rock-star. When Castle’s friends formed a garage band in high school, he knew he wanted a piece of the action. � e catch? He wanted to play violin.

“� ey had Marshall amps and I had an acoustic violin – there was no contest,” Castle said about trying to play with the band.

Makeshi� ampli� ers and speaker connections did the trick for awhile, but Castle knew it was time to invest in the real deal. He purchased his � rst electric violin during his senior year.

A� er high school, Castle moved to New York City, where he attended Columbia

University – and paid his way via the money he made playing on the streets.

“It was the perfect college gig,” Castle says. “I made my own hours – and got paid in cash.”

While in New York City, Castle also got a taste for Broadway – standing in as one of three musicians in the Tony-award winning play “M. Butter� y.”

“� ey needed a violin player who could improvise

and play Chinese percus-sion,” Castle says.

Castle says most violin players aren’t trained to do that, but he knew if he wanted to set himself apart, improvisation was the way to go. As a result, Castle’s musical journey has been far from ordinary.

“I de� nitely took the road less traveled,” Castle says.

� is road found him teaching himself how to play louder, more experi-

mental music than the stu� traditionally taught. Inspired by French-born violin-ist Jean Luc Ponty, Castle has become known for his genre-bending blend of Celtic, blues, jazz and rock and roll – and for pushing the boundaries of tradition-ally “classical” music.

A performer for more than 30 years, Castle has self-released eight albums of original music, the most recent being a double disc

entitled the “Deep Well Ses-sions.”

When he’s not working on his own material, the vet-eran player also sits in with other musicians. Castle has performed – and recorded – with the likes of Alan White (Yes), Spike Edney (Queen), Jamie Moses (Queen, Bad Company), Tom Bowes (Tower of Power), Eric Bazil-ian (the Hooters), and more.

But for Castle, the best

Six were identi� ed in a multi-state sex tra� ck-ing ring Monday, which included residential brothels in Bellevue and Kirkland. � at same day, four pled not guilty in U.S. District Court a� er a grand-jury indictment brought to a head a years-long investigation.

“� ese defendants exploit-ed vulnerable women immi-grants to enrich themselves,” said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan in a release. “We will work with our partners to stop this exploitation.”

Unruean Aboula� a, a 34-year-old Bellevue resident believed to be working with her ex-husband, was accused of leading the operation, managing advertisements on the controversial website backpage.com. Apartments were leased in Bellevue, Kirkland, Chicago; Scotts-dale, Ariz. and Falls Church, Va. Charging papers indicate that many of the women were from � ailand and were here illegally, having overstayed their tourist visas. Among them is Aboula� a, herself a � ai national.

Human tra� cking has been of growing concern in Washington state, and in particular on the Eastside. A number of cases involv-ing immigrants have come to light in recent years. � ey are o� en at a greater risk, says Marie Ho� man of the Washington Anti-Tra� cking Network, because of language and cultural barriers, a gener-al mistrust or misunderstand-ing about law enforcements’ role and due to immigration status.

Wife claims Goodman drove high with kids

BY RAECHEL DAWSON

[email protected]

State House Rep. Roger Goodman of Kirkland was accused of driv-

ing under the in� uence of marijuana with his children present by his estranged wife, according to divorce docu-ments � led last October.

Goodman – a legislator for six years with the 45th Legislative District – denies these claims vehemently, as he has been a longtime advocate for safe driving and DUI law reform.

“I would never put the safety of my children at risk,” Goodman said in an

email on March 1. “During a divorce, people tend to make all sorts of allegations and o� entimes these claims are unsup-ported and untrue.”

Liv Grohn, Good-man’s wife, � led for divorce on Oct. 9, 2012, but submit-ted an 11-page declaration on Oct. 4 detailing several instances in which she believes Goodman was smoking marijuana, prior to

Washington’s Initiative 502 legalization. She signed the declaration under penalty

of perjury under Washington law that her statements are true and correct.

“From the begin-ning of our chil-dren’s lives until the present day, I have been a full-time stay-at-home parent while Roger has

been increasingly dependent and involved with the ‘other

party’ in our marriage: His marijuana addiction,” said Grohn in her declaration.

Grohn recounts a time when Goodman allegedly � ew across the country to Rhode Island with a “baggie of marijuana” in his back-pack, of which she found nearly 10 years ago.

However, it is Grohn’s statement that Goodman has repeatedly driven his children a� er being “stoned” that directly goes against

several pieces of legislation Goodman has worked to uphold. “The first time I caught him driving while high was when (our daugh-ter) was just a toddler,” Grohn writes. “He feigned remorse and said he’d had a ‘wake up call.’ Sadly I believed him.”

But in 2011, Grohn said she and the family were on their way to the beach. When Grohn walked out to the car, the children were buck-led in but Goodman was missing. As she went to look for him, “Roger stumbled out from the side of the garage reeking of marijuana.”

“I felt completely sick,” Grohn said. “… Roger then admitted that he had repeatedly and purposefully gotten stoned by the side of the house before driving the children. He stated empathically, once again, that he’d had a ‘wake up call’ but that the first ‘wake up call’ hadn’t really happened.”

The same day the divorce was filed, Grohn reported to Kirkland police a concern about her pending divorce and her estranged hus-band’s alleged “erratic behavior.” The report states her concerns were for the well-being of their two children, and includes information on their two vehicles.

Grohn alleges Goodman has continued to defend driving under the influence of marijuana. She claims that he said “it is far safer than driving drunk or talking on a cell phone, that he has never gotten in an accident while driving stoned, and that what he did was ‘totally safe’ and that I was stupid to be concerned,” wrote Grohn.

The couple’s parenting plan indicates Grohn is the only one who may drive the children between November 2012 through Febru-ary 2013. And only if Goodman follows the terms of their agreement may he pick up the children, which is effective this April. Court documents did not include what the agree-ment is.

“It is unfortunate and I am saddened that Roger chose to make public statements about this private matter. My painful divorce declaration, signed under penalty of perjury, was intended to be, and to stay, private,” said Grohn in a statement to the Reporter on March 5. “It was written and filed with the court only after I had exhausted all other options to ensure the safety of our children. I stand by every word in my declaration and I sincerely hope, for the sake of our children, that Roger will be able to get the professional help he needs to deal with his ongoing issues.”

But Goodman said “these allegations are simply false.”

“Never in my life have I been stopped or arrested for driving under the influence - or for any other offense,” he said in an email. “As a long-time advocate of safe driving, I am devoted to the issue of safety on our streets and highways, just as I am devoted, as a father, to the health and well-being of my children.”

Goodman states that as part of the divorce proceedings, he “eagerly” volunteered to a “battery” of tests and assessments, including

a comprehensive substance abuse evaluation and drug screening, to refute the allegations. The findings were “unequivocal,” he says, and “there were no problems and issues whatsoever.”

Alternatively, Goodman’s emails submitted with the divorce filings state he has become “frustrated” by the use of Grohn’s cell phone while she drives. “If you continue to drive the kids while talking on the phone, it seems unfair and hypocritical to me, and I am in fact principally concerned for the children’s safety rather than trying to prove a point,” Goodman emailed to Grohn Sept. 7, 2012.

Rep. Larry Springer, who also serves the 45th District, said he doesn’t pay attention to allegations from a contentious divorce paper but the whole ordeal is a “sad state of affairs.”

“I’ve been around him with he and his kids in Kirkland and I’ve never seen a more dedicated father,” said Springer, who also notes he spends up to 10 hours a day for up to five months of the year with Goodman – they’ve worked together for six years – and he’s never seen anything true of what the allegations entail. “I think when you spend as much time with somebody as I do, you get to know their character. He is a tireless worker on behalf of his constituents, and one of the most effective legislators I’ve seen.”

However, in the same email Goodman ac-cuses Grohn of talking on her cell phone while driving, Goodman also speaks of a former unknown habit.

“I understand you cannot trust me at this time,” he writes to Grohn, “despite the objec-tive evidenc e. I understand how my past behavior and past deceptive statements before I quit the habit continue to give you pause and how everything from the past seems to be just the same to you even now. All I can say is that I am very capable of change and I am capable of highly disciplined behavior; and that I have truly changed and I am now extraordinarily disciplined in regard to any behavior or activ-ity of mine about which you may have been concerned would endanger our children.”

Goodman has been at the forefront of ad-vocating for marijuana legalization as well as a backer for decriminalizing marijuana.

It is this avenue that Kirkland Councilman and former State Rep. Toby Nixon met and befriended Goodman. More than 10 years ago, Nixon read a policy brief Goodman wrote for the King County Bar Association on the decriminalization of marijuana. Nixon, who is an advocate of marijuana legalization, believes in the nature of the law but says it is the 5-nanogram driving limit where his and Goodman’s opinions differ.

Nevertheless, Nixon said Goodman has never smoked anything in his presence. But since he has been good friends with Good-man’s family over the years, he cannot brush aside the divorce filings. “I’ve known them for a long time but I have never ever known Liv to lie about anything,” Nixon said. “For people to be tossing around accusations that she’s com-mitted perjury, a felony, I think it’s just wrong.”

part about being a profes-sional musician is play-ing live, as evident in the 250-plus shows he does each year.

In addition to traveling the country, Castle plays host for the weekly Monday Night Celtic Night party at Kirkland’s Wilde Rover Irish Pub – where he and co-host Dan Connolly play a variety of Celtic tunes. This month, Castle will also host the 8th Annual St. Patrick’s Eve Concert, taking place at

the Kirkland Performance Center.

Celtic music has always been at the heart of Castle’s playing, and the show – which features a combina-tion of rock and traditional Irish songs and dancing – has become a new tradition on the Eastside.

“So much of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day is about going out and getting drunk and puking green beer on somebody’s shoes. And there’s a lot more to Irish heritage than that,” Castle

says. “And that’s what my performance is really about.”

Castle says he finds Celtic music to be the type of pas-sionate, emotional music he is inspired by. That’s why he started experimenting with it, and developed a show. And while drinking isn’t the focus, Castle insists there will be Jameson and Guinness available for those looking to loosen up a bit.

This year’s celebration will also serve as a release party for Castle’s newest album, “Celtic Night,” – a collection

of songs from his perfor-mances at the Wild Rover.

An advocate for keeping the arts in schools, Castle spends much of his time on the road visiting schools and community centers to perform at assemblies and teach workshops. “I’d say it’s the most important thing I do,” Castle says.

He says it’s his goal to change the perceptions often associated with string players, to prove that even “macho” guys can play string instruments, and

that it’s nothing to be teased about.

“When I’m done, that kid in fifth grade, who is playing violin and getting teased, is the hero of the school,” Castle says.

As far as being an artist living in the Northwest, Castle says he couldn’t be more proud.

“[The Northwest] has al-ways been a place about in-novating music,” Castle says. “People are willing to take a little extra time to figure out something new.”

It’s a tradition that’s seem-ing to stand the test of time.

After years of bat-tling a common foot disability, planters

fasciitis, a Kirkland woman became motivated to join the Parkplace 24 Hour Fitness so she could take part in their low-impact workout class and resume control of her health.

This is why Jody Montague was upset after 24 Hour Fitness moved to the Totem Lake neighborhood on Jan. 26 and cut their SilverSneak-ers classes – a soft impact, strength training class designed for older adults and those with disabilities.

It was a move that left Montague and other long-time members wondering how they could get their money back.

“Some of the people in my class have been going to that class for over eight years,” said Montague. “And when they closed the club down, they cancelled all the senior classes and all of their focus now is on intense workouts, which people with disabilities and seniors can’t do.”

Montague recounts a rainy

Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 29, when several seniors showed up for the class’s new time of 1:30 p.m., which was previ-ously 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

“So everybody shows up at 1:15 p.m. to get ready for the class and the instructor was there and all of the elderly people were standing out in the rain,” Montague said of the 35 to 40 regulars. “It’s raining cats and dogs and they’re told at the door that they’re no longer going to have that class at all.

“There was quite a big uproar and a lot of these seniors have oxygen tanks and had gotten rides there, so it was really quite a scene to see all of these seniors outside in the rain being turned away.”

Montague said before the gym moved locations the club program manager told everyone they would still have the class but it would be at a later time. She even received an updated printed schedule.

But after people showed up, the club manager simply

“told everybody that she was sorry for the inconvenience but they had just made that decision the day before” with no prior notification, accord-ing to Montague.

“It was an intense workout club now and they were not going to have anything for low impact people,” Mon-tague said, “which really upsets me because I wouldn’t

have joined at all if I thought it was going to be that kind of a club.”

Montague said one of the SilverSneak-ers’ instructors also showed up and was just as “flabbergasted” to discover the class was cut.

Class members were told to go to Bellevue or Lyn-nwood 24 Hour Fitness gym locations but otherwise weren’t given a direct answer as to why they stopped providing the program, said Montague.

Montague’s two-year membership contract prevents her from looking elsewhere – such as LA Fit-

ness – for the SilverSneakers classes.

“You’re saving money to be a part of 24 Hour Fitness and we did that because most people who are disabled or elderly are on a really fixed budget, so you can’t afford the higher prices for the more glamorous clubs,” said Montague. “It’s like their ca-tering only to people that are wealthy and are intensely fit.”

The SilverSneakers pro-gram is for members who receive their gym member-ship through Healthways, a company designed to promote health and well be-ing, which is often utilized by those with Medicare insur-ance. However, SilverSneak-ers classes are also open to regular gym members.

A 24 Hour Fitness spokes-person, who was unidentified in a Feb. 26 email, said the Totem Lake 24 Hour Fitness sports club still provides soft-impact Group X classes that are “popular among older adults,” which include yoga and Les Mills Bodyflow – which combines yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates – and mem-bers could use the Lynnwood or Bellevue location if they specifically wanted Silver-Sneakers workouts.

“After re-evaluation, it was decided to not offer SilverSneakers classes at the Kirkland Totem Lake sport club, due to the lack of member attendance at the

Kirkland active club prior to its closure,” the anonymous spokesperson said. “24 Hour Fitness does not charge SilverSneakers members for their club membership. All SilverSneakers members re-ceive 24 Hour Fitness mem-berships through Healthways, and can work out at any local 24 Hour Fitness club.”

SilverSneakers would not return the Reporter’s emails at the time of press deadline.

However, Montague con-fidently said the class “was a big class.”

“This wasn’t a little class,” she said. “And I don’t see them at the club any other time either. I’ve been in three or four times since this whole thing happened and none of these people are ever in that club now. I never see them. They were just displaced and it feels bad to me.”

Members are being told to go to 188 106th Ave. N.E., suite 500 Bellevue, or 18930 29th Ave. W. in Lynnwood for the SilverSneakers pro-gram offered at the 24 Hour Fitness clubs.

woman outraged that 24 hour Fitness cut silversneakers classes

“It’s raining cats and dogs and they’re told at the door that they’re no longer going to have that class at all. There was quite a big uproar ... .” Jody Montague


As journalists, we spend much of our time in the gray, sorting out the ashes of political scandals and the fallout from unsubstantiated allegations.

One of the biggest questions we face in the news-paper industry is this: Does this story merit journalistic scrutiny?

Such was the case in this week’s front page headline regarding Rep. Roger Goodman’s contentious divorce. His estranged wife alleged that he drove stoned while his kids were in the car. He vehemently denied her claims.

Before our staff even headed to the courthouse to obtain the divorce documents in the case, we considered whether the public’s right to know such information outweighed the public official’s right to privacy.

We agree that, like private citizens, elected officials also deserve some privacy. But where do we draw the line?

We consulted with others in the community, includ-ing local legislators, and other fellow journalists. There were compelling arguments for both sides of the ethical issue.

It is sometimes difficult to draw a clear line between a story that is relevant and important to our readers and one that is sensational.

We agree that a divorce is a private matter. But what about an accusation that an elected official may have

broken the law? If someone yelled these same allegations across the

room at an event and our staff overheard them, we would not report on the matter if the elected official in question was not arrested or charged with the alleged crime. However, Goodman’s wife outlined these allega-tions in public documents under penalty of perjury - a felony. This raises the allegation to some degree, which warrants more scrutiny.

As a newspaper, we also have to look at the content of the allegations – substantiated or not – even if that means entering the so-called private sphere.

And when a matter involves a public official, we ask

ourselves whether an accusation intersects with the public’s business.

In this case, it did.We ultimately decided to report on the issue since the

substance of the allegations directly relate to Good-man’s legislation for safe driving, DUI law reform and marijuana legalization and decriminalization.

We take our role as public watchdog seriously. We vigilantly examine each story for news value. We want you to open the Reporter each week and find news that is relevant to the community, free from scandal, so you have the information you need to make the most informed decision.

Our LWSD tax dollars at work

Ah, Lake Washington School Dis-trict! You keep coming to my rescue when I need a pick-me-up!

Every month, a two-sided color � yer comes home with both of my elementary school children with the elementary lunch menu. It seems like it should be posted on the LWSD website, or sent home with only the youngest child, but every month it comes home with both of my children at the same school. I am still wait-ing to hear back from LWSD on the monthly cost of the � yer … Now let’s talk about the content on the � yer our tax dollars are paying for.

On the front is the LWSD lunch menu and on the back one � nds recipes, the “Did you know?” section and inspirational tidbits. My February � yer contained spelling, grammatical, and just plain weird errors.

1. “� an and Now!” (the correct spelling is “then”) was the title of their informational article.

2. “Remember, according to 2010 guidelines from the …(CDC)….” CDC guidelines were not discussed previously in this particular menu � yer. Perhaps the menus are meant to be read serially, like a monthly serial novel?

3. “� is year lets all begin to be

more of a ‘sport man’ than merely a ‘sport fan!’” First of all, this is a really weird statement. Second of all, con-gratulations on not using contractions correctly. Divertingly, my � rst grade daughter handed me this menu � yer in the same pile as her contractions worksheet, which did include “let us-let’s.”

4. February’s recipe is for a sandwich. � e � rst ingredient is “silvered” almonds. I have not heard of “silvered” almonds. Is this like Goldschlager, but with a di� erent element? Will silver in our food be the new cinnamon?

5. Under the “Did you Know?” section: “Fortune cookies were actu-ally invented in America, in 1918, by Charles Jung!” I particularly enjoyed this nugget, and not just because they added the very emphatic exclama-tion point to the sentence! It is as if they were texting this particular bit of trivia to me, but were only excited enough to use one exclamation point instead of three!!! � e origin of the fortune cookie is a hotly debated claim, so I am interested that they picked the Los Angeles side in this particular LA versus San Francisco feud. Additionally, I hear that the contested inventor’s name is David Jung, not Charles. (!!!)

“Remember,” “lets” do our best to enjoy our tax dollars at work!

LWSD needs more volunteers

I am not certain if Cynthia has spoken with the PTA or o� ce at the school where her children attend but I suspect they would love her grammatical, historical reference and distribution assistance. I have not run into any school in the Lake Wash-ington School District that does not welcome volunteers.

One of the reasons those of us with two students at the same school receive duplicate copies of documents is because it is di� cult to coordi-nate distribution of materials for all students and avoid duplicates getting sent to the same household without additional volunteer resources. � ere are o� en grammatical errors on ma-terials because individuals do not take the time to proofread or send materi-als to an editor (if one exists) before a deadline for distribution. As for the inventor of the fortune cookie, it appears the internet is debating itself on that subject. Wikipedia believes it was David Jung but other sites list the individual as Charles Jung. Hard to say what the de� nitive answer is but I wonder if he changed his name based on a suggestion from a fortune cookie.

Disagree with Kirkland o� cials over rail removal

I live in Kirkland and don’t agree with our o� cials in removing the rails. It was my understanding they were to preserve the corridor for light rail as the primary use and add a trail for local use.

Rail is still the most viable form of transportation today. If leaders would get together with some forward thinking by incorporating a walking trail along the rail, that would be good for all. How many more lanes will we keep adding to the already congested Interstate 405 each time we � nd it just cannot handle all the tra� c? Rail is the answer, not cars. We might not know it but there will be a day rail will be necessary again far more than it is being used today!

It really does not make sense the mayor says we have a good multi-use plan for the corridor with the plan being to remove the rails and put the walking path on the rail right of way. Let’s get something right the � rst time, plans should be long-term - 50-plus years, not just the next 10-20.Rick Davis, Kirkland

Being a foster child means having to cope with extraordinary disadvantages during some of the most important for-mative years leading to adulthood. Most o� en, children enter the foster care system due to abuse or neglect. Foster kids o� en don’t get the same emotional or � nancial support that other kids get, or the sense of security that comes from being a part of a biological or adoptive family. � is is why Treehouse exists, to counteract some of the disadvantages that come with being a foster child. Treehouse is QFC’s charity of the month for March.

Most people � nd that getting a good ed-ucation is an essential step towards leading a productive, ful� lling life. People without a good education are o� en at a disadvantage in pursuing a career or a landing a good job. Unfortunately, due to the emotional turmoil many foster children have had to endure, they are not primed and ready to do well in school. Treehouse is dedicated to helping the foster child population here in Washington through Education Advo-cacy and Education Engagement.

Treehouse Education Advocates help students access education support servic-es, stay in the same school whenever possi-

ble or help with the transition to a new school, work through issues that might keep them out of school, and help them make up credits, stay engaged and stay on track to graduate.

Treehouse provides education plan-ning, coaching and support through Education Engagement. � e Tree-house website notes:

� rough weekly monitoring of risk indicators, personalized inter-vention, building problem solving and self-advocacy skills, proactive-ly removing barriers to school suc-cess, and supports to fully engage in school and community, Tree-house paves the way to high school graduation, hope and opportunity.

� e Treehouse mission of helping foster children goes beyond education to include many other aspects of youths’ lives. Here are four other programs that Treehouse supports that help make a di� erence: Little Wishes, Summer Camp, � e Wearhouse and Holiday Magic.

� rough Little Wishes, Treehouse pro-vides access to extracurricular activi-ties like sports, music, dance and clubs,

as well as school activities because kids who are positively engaged in school and community have better academic and life outcomes. � e Summer Camp program provides access to overnight camps, day camps and other summer programs, giv-ing foster kids a chance to get away and make new friends, while providing a break for their caregivers. Because spare funds are o� en short or nonexistent, Treehouse created � e Wearhouse so that foster kids can get free new and like-new clothing, books, toys and other things to help them feel good and � t in. Eligible participants

can use � e Wearhouse up to � ve times a year. � e Holiday Magic program helps kids in foster care have a happy holiday by raising resources from the community to provide each child with a special holiday gi� .

QFC is proud to partner with Treehouse to raise awareness about the important work they are involved in and to help raise funds to support the services they o� er to their young clients. We invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand to Tree-house until March 30th.

Thank you for restoring clock

The committee to restore the historic Anderson Ferry Clock says a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has made the complete restora-tion of the clock possible. Captain Anderson donated the clock, at the corner of Lake Street and Kirkland Avenue, to the city in 1935. Since then the elements took a toll on our iconic clock and it fell into disrepair. For two years our committee has worked with the City of Kirk-land Public Works Depart-ment, King County, Kirkland Heritage Society and volun-teers to raise the necessary funds to restore the clock to its original condition. With your support we were able to rededicate the clock on Feb. 10. It now looks exactly like it did in 1935, including the original ferry schedule.

Pro-gun rally inappropriate

As faith leaders in Kirk-land, we are saddened and alarmed by the intention of 2nd Enforcers to hold a pro-gun rally downtown on

Feb 23. A day of defiance to proposed gun legislation is inappropriate when we know that our nation leads the world in child and teen gun deaths. A demonstration of firearms on our city streets is neither prudent nor safe.

We do not agree that “A Washington state non-profit militia with a mission to pro-tect the rights of the people at all costs” is necessary to the well being of our commu-nity. We support nonviolent conflict resolution as part of our homes, schools, congre-

gations and our community.We are aware that legisla-

tion alone will not stop the wave of gun violence sweep-ing our nation. But we also affirm a faith that is opposed to violence in all its forms. As people of faith, we stand together to proclaim our opposition to such displays of “defiance” and any gathering that puts the community at risk. This kind of assembly adds to a sense of unease and danger. Our faith tells us that true community grows out of peace, justice, respect and

love.Rev. Kara Markell, Lake Washington Christian Church; Rev. Ann Eidson, Kirkland Congregational Church; Rev. Marian Stewart, Northlake Unitarian Universalist Church

Don’t decry income taxes

With regard to Sen. Rodney Tom’s article bemoaning new tax hikes

(Feb. 22 issue), I agree with Tom that the myriad of new taxes is burdensome and oppressive. But rather than decry income taxes, I say – as a small businessperson and aspiring middle class citizen he claims to have the ear of – institute a true state income tax to reduce the confusion, simplify the tax code and apply a fairer cost model to state residents.

Why is Washington state one of a handful of states to not have an income tax? All but one of the others with-

out an income tax have the benefit of oil and natural gas royalties.

Reduce the state sales tax by 75 percent or more so we lose fewer shoppers across state borders. Reduce the business and occupation tax so small businesses can re-invest in their own growth and survival. And create an income tax that recognizes some are in a position to pay more than others.

K I R K L A N D

I grew up in a poor family. My dad was disabled in a work accident when

my two brothers and I were very young, breaking all the bones in both his feet. � ere was no workers compensa-tion insurance then. My dad could never again � nd steady work. My mom couldn’t deal with the setback, so she le� us. My brothers and I grew up on welfare, food stamps, govern-ment surplus food, Medicaid, and rental housing assistance. I got my � rst job in the computer � eld thanks to the CETA program. I know from personal experience how helpful these programs are to those in need.

One of the things I learned early on is that not every store accepts food stamps, not every health care provider accepts Medicaid, and not

every landlord accepts rental vouchers. I learned later in life that the same is true of programs like WIC

(Women, Infants, and Children) and DSHS-funded child care, adult family homes and nursing homes. Participation by vendors is volun-tary for all of these

programs, and many choose to not participate. And why is that? If the proponents of Kirkland’s proposed Section 8 mandate are correct and it is simply a question of “method of payment,” then why would any business or property owner turn down an additional customer and a reliable payer?

� e simple fact is that it is not just a question of “method of payment.” � ose health care providers, stores, landlords, day care provid-

ers, AFH and nursing home operators, and others who choose not to participate in those programs are not discriminating against poor people on the basis of “method of payment.” � ey are declining to participate in those programs because of all the other strings that are at-tached to such participation.

In some cases, the “strings” are limitations on reimburse-ment rates. In others, the “strings” are government inspections, or government reviews of pricing, contracts, leases, policies, internal controls and decisions. In every one of these programs, in exchange for accepting government funding or sub-sidies, the government im-poses a number of additional requirements, limitations, and restrictions on the ven-dors who participate. � ese extra rules can be intrusive, complicated and burden-

some. And that is exactly why these programs are designed to be voluntary.

Business and property owners should be able to choose whether or not they want to accept additional government regulation in exchange for expanding their pool of potential customers. Not everyone wants to take that deal, and a city should not force them to do so when both the federal and state governments have declined to do so.

If Kirkland can mandate participation in Section 8, what other state and federal programs can we mandate? Could we mandate that all stores in the city accept WIC and food stamps, all health care providers accept Medi-care and Medicaid, all nurs-ing homes and adult family homes accept DSHS patients, and all child care facilities

accept DSHS clients? Where is the line to be drawn? I think it is best to draw the line at not locally mandating participation in any such state or federal program.

� e proponents of mandating acceptance of Section 8 vouchers claim to

be for increasing housing diversity and making

it easier for people who work in Kirk-land to also a� ord to live in Kirkland.

But what if the man-date causes apartment

developers to build outside Kirkland, property owners to raise their rents in order to escape intrusive government oversight, or owners to sell their property and take it o� the rental market entirely? All of these reduce the availability of a� ordable rental properties rather than increase it.

Our city should not jump into mandating that all prop-

erty owners accept Section 8 vouchers. What we should do � rst is implement an expanded educational e� ort, in conjunction with the King County Housing Authority, to inform property owners of the opportunity for participa-tion in Section 8 and to help them navigate the bureau-cracy when they choose to participate. Only a� er such an educational e� ort has been tried and failed should we even consider a mandate. But, my personal experience with these programs notwith-standing, I’m convinced that a mandate is not and never will be a good idea.

Toby Nixon is a member of the Kirkland City Council. His comments re� ect his own position on this issue and do not necessarily re� ect the positions of other council members or city sta� .

Kirkland should not mandate participation in Section 8

In a recent column entitled “City’s proposed Section 8 measure would prohibit

discrimination,” the Direc-tor for the City of Kirkland’s Planning and Community Development Department outlined the foundation for the city’s desire to enact such a piece of legislation. While the article does a good job of describing the issues that led to the decision to ask for public input, it fails to make an adequate argument and provide support as to why the city should take this action. In fact, the categorization of a private landlord’s decision whether to participate or not in the Section 8 program as “discrimination” is in� amma-tory and misses the point.

Let me be clear, as a person who has worked in the hous-ing industry for close to two decades, my issue with this proposed ordinance is not rooted in any sort of opposi-tion to the actual Section 8 program. In fact, I support this federally funded and locally directed program that assists low-income families

by subsidizing a portion of their monthly rent payments. At its core, the intent of the program is easy to get behind as it helps those persons and families who live and work within our community.

However, there are three main points that I would like to discuss that form the basis of my opposition to this proposal.

1) Voluntary versus compulsory participa-tion:

Participation in the Section 8 program from a private prop-erty owner should be voluntary and a choice that he or she enters into without a city mandate.

As I have indicated at both public meetings that the city held in recent months, the overriding issue that concerns landlords is the intrusion of a third party (in this case, the City of Kirk-land) into what should be a decision by a private property owner as to whether or not to participate in a government program that puts restrictions

upon the best and highest use of their property. A local government should not force private landlords to partici-pate in a program that is op-tional at the federal level and that has requirements and obligations to which some landlords have legitimate objections.

In essence, since the city has zero control over the rules and regulations that a� ect the program, they should not be in a position to mandate participa-tion and take this choice away from

the individual property owner.

If educated on the merits of the program, and if it � ts into their overall busi-ness strategy, many private property owners choose to voluntarily participate in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. � e com-pany that I work for, Weidner Apartment Homes, has its corporate headquarters here in Kirkland and has been a

housing provider for more than 36 years. We have a long history of participating in the program as two-thirds of our properties in Washington state provide apartments for Section 8 voucher holders. I don’t think that we’re unique in the � eld, but are proof that when given the choice, land-lords can and do participate of their own accord.

2) Disparate impacts to the smaller housing providers:

� e economic e� ect on landlords will vary and it may have a disparate impact on the smaller housing provider. � e program can be one of the most e� ective means of addressing the need for af-fordable housing as it allows families to choose their home and helps reduce the concen-tration of low cost housing. However, participation in the program comes at a cost to landlords of which some may not be able to � nancially absorb. Chief among these concerns are the inspections that are required prior to occupancy, and the extended timeframes for inspection

scheduling and completion that can and do happen. � e requirement for an inspection is not a bad thing. However, when it takes an extended period of time to complete, it becomes an unreasonable burden to the landlord who owns a few rentals and relies upon the rent they collect to make the mortgage payment. While some may hear this and rightly comment that at least a� er the initial month, rents settle into a predictable payment pattern, this is of little comfort to the property owner who is struggling to carry the mortgage. In ad-dition, while it used to be the practice of the Housing Authority to help o� set move out costs for things such as past due rent balances or utilities, and damages to the apartment above and beyond the security deposit, they no longer do so. It is the respon-sibility of the landlord to try and collect these monies, and the damages can o� en be thousands of dollars.

What would be unique in Kirkland if this measure were

to pass, is the city would be compelling a private landlord to take a higher risk with a resident who doesn’t have the discretionary pay to allow them to compensate the landlord if any damages were to occur, or balances le� at move out.

3) If enacted, this measure will NOT increase the num-ber of a� ordable rental units within the city:

Most importantly, and what has not been discussed is that if enacted, the measure would not increase the avail-able number of a� ordable housing units within the city.

Gregory K. Cerbana is the director of public relations for Weidner Apartment Homes, a privately-owned and operated real estate company that specializes in multifamily housing. He is also a founding board member of the Washing-ton Multi-Family Housing Association.

Police Blotter


Oh … my … god….� is cannot be happening! � is

is not good! Honestly, did I just twist my already-troubled back in the slight-est awkward angle to � ush the toilet in my 1947 “character” home? Because now I can barely move. Ooooo, I am in so much pain! � ank goodness my husband is home and can help me get dressed. I bravely tell him that I will be � ne and send him o� to work.

My next monumental move is to hobble downstairs to get my cell phone. As I look to the bottom of the

steps, I see my dogs standing there with the look, “So, does this mean we are not going to the park today then?” I

choose to ignore the pitiful looks on their faces as I have much more im-portant endeavors at this particular moment. I attack each of the 14 steps ever so gingerly and make it to the kitchen. Now, to

� nd a chiropractor ASAP! As I am new to Kirkland

and the penultimate “Yelper” and “Yelpee,” my � rst step was to Yelp chiropractors in Kirkland.

Dr. Paul Krause gets � ve-star ratings across the board and was voted by Kirkland Reporter readers as the 2011

Best Chiropractor in Kirk-land. � at seal of approval was good enough for me. I make the call.

Not only does Mag-gie, who has been with Dr. Krause for more than two years, answer the phones, but she is the � rst interaction you will have with Better Back and Body. Maggie is warm, caring and has a very calming demeanor. She puts me at ease immediately. Yes! Dr. Krause can see me today!

Better Back and Body is in a small outdoor mall joined by the India Royal restaurant across the street from Juanita Beach. I � nd Maggie sitting at the reception desk. She takes my insurance information and with a lovely smile and a very reassuring and comfort-ing voice tells me that Dr.

Krause will be right with me.Dr. Krause takes me back

to his consultation room. Of course, I peruse his o� ce to check out his diplomas. He is a graduate of nationally accredited Sherman College of Chiropractic and has been practicing in Bellevue /Kirkland for almost 20 years. He opened Better Back and Body in Kirkland in October 2008. OK … he’s solid! He takes the time to ask all the right questions, actually lis-tens and takes copious notes. He then takes a very thorough panel of X-rays. He explains how the spine works, its interaction with the whole body and potential problem areas.

Dr. Krause escorts me to

his comfortable open ad-justment area. He practices the Pierce technique, which utilizes the hi/lo drop table, Leander table for mobiliza-

tion of the lower back, Vibra Cusser to help loosen tight muscles, precision adjuster to help loosen sti� joints (sounds like a woodpecker), as well as wobble chairs and cervical traction devices to rehabilitate the neck and lower back. If nothing else, you have to stop by to check

these things out. He currently has three massage therapists on sta� as well.

A� er a gentle 15-minute adjust-ment I am able to walk out of Dr. Krause’s o� ce upright and calmed

down. I went back two days later to discuss the X-rays and a treatment plan. Now, going forward nine months, I trust

Dr. Krause. Not only is he very compassionate, respect-ful and encouraging, he is also the consummate medical professional. It is very clear that Dr. Krause is passionate about chiropractic care. He focuses on each individual patient, and believes that a “hands on approach is best for a healing human touch.”

While it seems like there is a chiropractic o� ce on every corner, look no further than Better Back and Body, Dr. Paul Krause, DC. His o� ce is located at 9716 N.E. Juanita Dr., Kirkland. He sees patients Monday through Friday by appointment. Check out his website at bet-terbackandbody.com. He can be reached at 425-823-5333.

CommunityBRIEFSHill recognized for support of online learning

Members of Washington state’s Digital Public School Alliance, who gathered recently at the state Capitol

to lobby on behalf of online public schools, honored state Sen. Andy Hill with their “Pioneer Award” for his work on behalf of digital schools.

� e alliance is made up of parents of children who at-tend digital public schools on a full- and part-time basis.

“� ese parents have shown great dedication to their children’s education by coming to Olympia to share their stories and concerns, as

well as embracing innovative learning opportunities,” said Hill. “Some students, for a variety of reasons, thrive in a digital-learning environ-ment in a way they could not in what we think of as a ‘traditional’ school. I look forward to continue working to make sure those opportu-nities remain available and productive.”

Digital public-school stu-dent and 45th Legislative Dis-trict resident Grace Churchill, who was in Olympia with her mother Nancy, presented Hill with the award in the Capitol Rotunda as members of the alliance gathered before going to meet with legislators.

“Having spent a great deal of time in the technology sector and volunteering in schools, I’ve seen � rsthand the opportunities for integrat-ing advanced technology

into our education system,” Hill continued. “Our digital public-school program is an incredibly important compo-nent of Washington’s overall education system; I’ll be look-ing to expand and strengthen it in the future.”

Volunteer drivers needed

Senior Services’ Volunteer Transportation provides vital rides for Kirkland seniors. Using their own vehicles, volunteer drivers help older adults maintain their inde-pendence by taking them to/from necessary medical appointments. Clients appre-ciate their improved access to medical care, meaningful interactions with caring vol-unteers and increased peace of mind.

Betty L., a 90-year-old

regular client of the pro-gram, explains, “Volunteer Transportation takes away all the stress I used to have with � nding transportation!”

Volunteers � nd the pro-gram to be equally valuable. Sadly, the program does not have enough drivers to meet the demand for transporta-

tion from older residents of the Kirkland community. Anyone who has the drive to help others is strongly encouraged to volunteer! For more information, call (206) 748-7588, e-mail Hilary at [email protected], or visit www.seniorservices.org/transportation.

threaten to report them or harm their families.

“� at prevents somebody from leaving the situation and creates an environment of fear,” says Ho� man.

Emily Langlie, spokes-woman for the U.S. Attor-ney’s O� ce, said that the victims and witnesses of the ring numbered in the dozens. According to charging pa-pers, the women were lured to the U.S. with the prospect of work, and owed debts of as much as $60,000. An investigation was launched in 2009 a� er a complaint was made to Kirkland police about suspicious activity in one of the Eastside residenc-

es. Undercover o� cers have been responding to the ads in an extensive investigation through February of this year. In most cases the women o� ered sexual favors for a fee, and on several occasions admitted to traveling to the U.S. to prostitute themselves for money.

“� is case is more than prostitution, money launder-ing and conspiracy,” said King County Sheri� John Urquhart. “It is about human tra� cking.”

Charging papers reveal that the advertisements used code language like “160 roses/200 roses” to indicate pricing, and o� en pictured the women in skimpy cloth-ing and suggestive poses. Ads were placed in the adult entertainment section of backpage.com under the labels of “escort” and “body rubs.” Among the Bellevue locations identi� ed are the Belcarra Apartments, Amli Apartments, Avalon Bellevue Apartments and the Courtyard O� Main, all prominent buildings in the city’s downtown.

“� is is a crime that hap-pens in our community,” said Ho� man about the concern-ing rates of tra� cking on the Eastside, “that a� ects people from all over the world, in-cluding the U.S., regardless of background, where they grew up or what community they live in.” Aboula� a is charged with money laundering, conspiracy to use a commu-nication facility to promote prostitution, conspiracy to transport individuals for prostitution and for the use of cell phones to advertise and facilitate services. Also indicted was � anyathorn Mohr of Bellevue.

Sunday, March 10, 2 p.m.: Book launch for “My Only Choice 1942-1956 Hungary” by Helen Szablya.

Szablya, the honorary consul general of Hungary for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, co-authored “Hungary Remembered,” an award-winning, oral history drama/lecture series for the 30th anniversary of the “Hungarian Uprising, and the Fall of the Red Star,” an award-winning book about an illegal boyscout troop during the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, published in honor of the 40th anniversary.

She and her late husband escaped in 1956 with two toddlers and a newborn. Her new book, “My Only Choice 1942-1956 Hungary” is the story of their life and the story of their native land, as seen by a 7-year-old growing up and becoming a mother of three. Szablya’s story sheds light on a dramatic era in European history, one which Americans hardly know

and will � nd fascinating to discover.

Szablya recently received the order of merit of the Republic of Hungary for her consular and cultural work and the Spirit of Liberty award from the Ethnic Heri-tage Council.

A perennial favorite in the Paci� c Northwest, the author has written more than 55 novels, is winner of the 2000 Literary Achievement Award from the Paci� c Northwest Writers Association and in 2008 was inducted into the University of Washington’s Communications Hall of Fame.
