Fire destroys KITH apartmentsBY RAECHEL DAWSON

rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

A kitchen fire dam-aged four units at the Salisbury

Court apartments on Aug. 6. The apart-ments were owned by the Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing, a nonprofit that seeks to help the homeless on the Eastside and in the Puget Sound area.

No one was hurt in the fire, but one of the four tenants was left without a home. Executive direc-tor of KITH Jan Dicker-man said the woman is staying with family at this time. Two tenants have found housing through other KITH housing op-portunities and one was already in the process of moving to another home.

Neighbors reported the fire at about noon and the Kirkland Fire Department quickly responded.

“The fire depart-ment was there so fast,” Dickerman said in a news release. “We deeply appreciate every one of the firefighters and emergency response team members who worked so hard to put out this fire and to be sure it could not reignite.”

But before firefighters arrived it was reported that a man, thought to be a vendor nearby, saw an adjacent tree on fire. According to witnesses, he brought a garden hose

to one of the Salisbury buildings and hosed the tree. Then he was gone.

Dickerman said he prevented the fire from damaging two other apartment buildings and she said she would like to thank him.

“I don’t know who he is but it was really great,” Dickerman said. “It was wonderful to see the neighbors ask how they could help.”

Many neighbors offered to help the tenants move and some even brought

pastries.The Red

Cross part-nered with KITH staff to help the residents and neigh-bors cope with the trauma of it all. Dicker-man said people are struggling with the accident but she is “very grateful” no one was hurt.

The building that was damaged will likely need complete renovation. Dickerman expects it to take about a month for restoration and will cost more than $100,000.

The community can help by donating house-hold paper products, canned food, laundry detergent and monetary donations for the costs beyond the insurance coverage. None of the tenants had renter’s in-surance.

Financial gifts can be mailed by check to KITH at 125 State Street South Kirkland, WA 98033 or online at www.kithcares.org.

Woman travels across country to find familyBY RAECHEL DAWSON

rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland resident Marie Cragar was upset, when at 19, she learned her parents were her grandparents and her sister was her mother. But today, at 65, she couldn’t be more happy. Just a few weeks ago she � ew across the country to meet her brothers and sisters for the very � rst time.

“It went well, and really, it was like we had never been apart,” Cragar said.

In 1946, Cragar’s mother and father met a� er World War II at a Seattle drive-in movie theatre. Her father had just gotten out of the

Navy and they married six months later.

Shortly a� er, Cragar’s mother made the trip to Tucson, Ariz. - where her family was living - to give birth to Cragar.

“She was worried at how my father was acting at the time. It was a� er World War II and he had some issues to deal with,” Cragar said. “She le� me there with my grandparents to come back to Seattle and work things out with my dad.”

But things never worked out and the two divorced in 1949. Her father moved to Kansas with his family. Her

QFC’s charity of the month for Septem-ber is The Leukemia and Lymphoma Soci-ety. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancers. These cancers include leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. When the LLS was founded in 1949 a diagnosis of blood cancer was almost always fatal. Since then, the LLS has occupied a significant role in supporting research that has helped dou-ble, triple and even quadruple survival rates for patients with blood cancer.

From the 1950s to present, doctors and scientists who have served as advisors to LLS have been involved in breakthrough discoveries and treatments such as chemo-therapy, combination chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, oncogenes, molecular understandings of normal and malignant blood cells and the use of new targeted drugs that selectively kill cancer cells.

The LLS’s mission is to help find cures for these blood cancers and to improve the quality of life of patients and their fami-lies. It has 64 chapters in the U.S. and four in Canada. Since its founding, The Leuke-

mia & Lymphoma Society has provided more than $600 million for research on blood cancers and has also served as a nationwide informational clearinghouse for medical professionals, caregivers, and patients. In 2010 alone, the LLS invested $72 million to help fund 103 new research grants to researchers in academic institu-tions as it supported 347 research projects being conducted in the U.S., Canada and nine other nations. The LLS also provides financial assistance to patients, sponsors scientific conferences around the country, produces educational materials and videos and runs dozens of Family Support Groups nationwide. It does all of these things while receiving no federal funding.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Soci-ety uses a variety of fundraisers in order to fund its missions. These include stair climbs, a celebrity waiters luncheon and auction, Light the Night walks, a LLS Man & Woman of the Year ten-week fund rais-ing competition, and the Team in Training program.

Team in Training is a charity sports en-durance training program that uses certi-

fied coaches to train people to compete in marathons, half-marathons, triathlons and 100-mile bicycling events. Participants pay a one-time registration fee and then set a fund-raising goal as they train to compete in one of more than 60 accredited events that are scheduled each year. They train and are coached several days a week leading up to the event. LLS uses at least 74 cents of every dollar raised for cancer programs, funding research and providing assistance to patients and their families fighting blood cancers. Team in Training was pioneered in 1988 by Bruce Cleland in Rye, New York, in honor of his daughter Georgia who was

a leukemia survivor. Since then, Team in Training has trained over 500,000 athletes and has raised over $1.2 billion to support blood cancer research and patient services.

During the month of September, if you would like to join QFC in supporting the work of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Soci-ety you can donate at any check stand using the $1, $5, or $10 scan cards or by dropping your spare change in a checkstand coin box. For comments or questions you can contact QFC Associate Communications Manager Ken Banks at ken.banks@qfci.com or phone 425-462-2205.

A King County Supe-rior Court judge reduced the bail Monday for a Kirkland woman accused of causing a head-on-collision that killed a woman who lived just blocks from her on Finn Hill. The crash also sent three more people to the hospital on Aug. 7.

Judge Theresa Doyle granted Kelly Ann Hud-son’s request that her bail be reduced from $500,000 to $250,000. Hudson was subsequently released late Monday afternoon after posting the reduced bond.

Hudson was charged

with vehicular homicide in connection with the crash that took the life of fellow Finn Hill resi-dent Joyce Parsons, 81. Parson’s brother, Arthur Kamm, along with two other family members, Daniel J. Grieshaber and Jenny Grieshaber, were also severely hurt, leading to three counts of vehicu-lar assault. Hudson plead “absolutely not guilty” to all of the charges on Aug. 23.

“We agreed to the bail reduction,” said King County Prosecutor spokesman Dan Dona-hoe. “We didn’t want the defendant released on personal recognizance.

We also wanted to get as many conditions as pos-sible.”

Court records show that Hudson must submit to a weekly urine test, wear an alcohol detection bracelet and cannot take non-prescribed drugs as a condition of her release. Hudson is also not al-lowed to drive any type of motor vehicle or enter any business where alco-hol is served or sold.

Hudson allegedly told police after the crash that she had taken prescrip-tion medication with wine just prior to the crash on Finn Hill’s busy Juanita Drive, according to court documents.

Kirkland police re-sponded to a motorcycle accident with injuries at approximately 6:15 p.m. Saturday evening. � e incident occurred on the 11600 block of N.E. 132nd Street.

A motorcycle with brothers Eldon and Gerald Lutz was headed north in the parking lot of the Totem Lake neighborhood park-and-ride when the

motorcycle hit the curb at a high rate of speed and fell approximately 15-20 feet down onto N.E. 132nd Street, according to Kirkland po-lice o� cials.

One of the brothers was then struck by a passing vehicle in the westbound lane.

� e Lutz’s were taken to Harborview Hospital where they both later died

from their injuries, police say.

It is unknown at this time what caused the motorcycle to accelerate and lose control in the park-and-ride lot.

Kirkland Police Tra� c Investiga-

tion Unit was on the scene and N.E.

132nd was closed for several hours while the investigation continued.

Opportunity for more downtown parking

Was an opportunity for $1 mil-lion kissed away?

Approximately two years ago the Comprehensive Plan was modi� ed to incentivize residential develop-ment downtown by allowing a reduction in parking stalls. � ere were years of study by the Parking Advisory Board, then approval by Kirkland’s Planning Commission and then it became law when voted in by Ordinance by the (Kirkland) City Council.

A) Background: Parking is costly, approximately $35,000 per space. As an incentive, Kirkland reduced the requirement of 1.7 stalls per unit to one stall per unit - $25,000 savings per unit!

B) Opportunity for more public parking: � e law now required just one stall per unit (Multifamily, Multiuse, Assisted Living, Hotels). If all the stalls weren’t needed, a developer had two options to ful� ll the obligation: provide public parking elsewhere downtown or contribute to a fund, $20,000 per stall. � e city then supplies public parking, also known as fee-in-lieu.

C) Attention: Recently new

SRO development was introduced as a zoning change! On top of the prior deal sweetener, now parking requirement would go from 1.7 to 0.5 space per unit and remove fee-in-lieu. A development of 100 units would be relieved of $1,000,000 towards public parking!

D) Doesn’t this just shi� the responsibility and put it on the shoulders of taxpayers? Write and tell the council not to pass this.

Funding for public parking - write the city immediately: city-council@kirklandwa.gov

Villeneuve missed the point

Mr. Villeneuve,I think you missed the

point of the GOP convention. It’s the economy!

When President Obama took over, unemployment was at 7.8 percent and it is now 8.1 percent with 40 continuous months of unemployment over 8 percent. The American Recovery and Re-investment act was supposedly a guarantee to keep unemployment under 8 percent.

The median income was $54,000 and is now $50,000. The price of gasoline was $1.82 per gallon and it is now $3.82. The National Debt was $10.6 trillion and is now $16 trillion. Data from FOX news broadcast on Sept. 4.

Mr. Villeneuve, I suggest that your cherry picked misleading trivia is totally irrelevant to the 23 million friends, neighbors and family members who are unem-ployed or underemployed in this nation of ours.

Mr. Obama, has given it his best shot for nearly four years.

He said on Feb. 1, 2009, “If I don’t have this thing done in three years, then there is going to be a one term proposition.”

So be it.Thomas R. Tritz, Kirkland

Judge caved to Hudson in hearing

It amazes me to read stories such as that concerning Kelly Ann Hudson in the Aug. 31 issue of the Reporter. Here’s a woman who was driving in the evening a� er admitting to taking medication and drinking wine, weaving across

the center line causing a head-on crash with another vehicle result-ing in the death of one passenger and severe injuries to others. � en, she succeeds in convincing a judge to ‘shield her’ from the media and others while making a public appearance in court. Why did Judge Ronald Kessle permit her to do this? Granted, her egre-gious behavior would certainly cause her desire to be shielded - who would want their kids to see pictures of them having to face the consequences of such � agrantly ir-responsible behavior? But doesn’t caving to her wish to shield herself simply increase her level of ir-responsibility - allowing her to protect herself from admitting her recklessness which resulted in the death of a fellow human being?

I just don’t get it. I don’t under-stand the blatant absurdity of the behavior being exhibited by so many of today’s adults. Drinking and driving, over-indulgence in every form of distraction, total ab-dication of personal responsibility ... Kelly Ann Hudson is just one more name in a long list of those who demonstrate all that has gone totally amiss in today’s society.Linda Bonin, Kirkland

KIRKLANDOPINION

P O T A L A V I L L A G E L E T T E R S

Critical meeting this Tuesday and Oct. 2 on Potala

For more than a year and a half, citizens who love the beauty of Kirkland’s pedestrian-friendly waterfront boulevard have been lobbying the city to reduce the ultra-high residential density of Potala Village, a huge apartment project at Lake Street and 10th Avenue South next to the Michael’s Dry Cleaning lot.

� e current proposal is for 143 tiny, 698 square foot average, apartments on a 1.2 acre lot. � e building would be four stories tall and have a two story underground parking garage for 316 cars, entering Lake Street via a single driveway. For those of you who think “tiny” means “a� ordable,” the developer’s prospectus proposes rents averaging $1,900 a month.

In a study session on Tuesday, the (Kirkland City) Council will have what is likely its last chance to decide to do the right thing on this matter. � ey will apparently vote on the matter at the council meet-ing on Oct. 2.

� e council has lived in fear of the developer because of mistakes in the Zoning Code that led him to believe he can legally do this. He is wrong. And STOP (“Support � e Ordinances and Plans”), representing some 800 actively involved opponents to this project has proof - from the City’s own documents. Yet the council has refused to act, even though most of them, and the planning director, have publicly stated that “we never intended any-thing like this to be built on that property.”

Nearly a year ago, the council punted the Potala mess to the Planning Commission for a recom-mendation. � at recommendation – to reduce the number of apartments from 116 per acre to 36 per acre, and add “Design Review” – is on the Council agenda Oct. 2. � e council’s options will be to “approve,” “reject,” or “table” the recommendation. Based on the council’s complete unwillingness thus far to confront the issue, I expect a vote to “Table.”

� is council lacks the courage to do the heavy

li� ing needed to protect Kirkland and its citizens from inappropriate development in an otherwise single-family neighborhood. Instead, they will likely recommend mediation with the developer, in other words, leave it to the citizens themselves to do the council’s dirty work. Perhaps that is the ultimate in democracy. But if that is the case, why do we bother electing a council to run the city?

� ey’ve punted twice thus far, � rst by enacting (and extending) a moratorium on development of properties zoned “Neighborhood Business,” and then by referring the issue to the Planning Commission. Now, by not acting and “passing the buck” back to the citizens whom they supposedly represent, the council will be asking those of us who elected them to do their job.

Just because prior councils and prior planners have failed to do their job is no excuse for the cur-

rent council to fail to do theirs. I myself believe that anything over 12 units per

acre (the density limit in the Kirkland Comprehen-sive Plan) is wrong. But a� er a year and a half, doz-ens of council and planning commission meetings, and thousands of emails on behalf of the future of Kirkland, I would accept the planning commission’s recommendation of 36 units per acre because I want this mess to go away.

STOP is not opposed to development, provided it “� ts where it sits.” � is project is just wrong. Potala as proposed will be a wart on the otherwise beauti-ful face of Kirkland. � e citizens of Kirkland know it. I know it. And in their hearts, I suspect that (all but one of) the city council members know it.Chuck Pilcher, Lakeview Neighborhood

City Council’s vote on Density Cap

Well, it’s not the 12 units/acre residential density cap the Planning Department gave Lobsang Dargey on Dec. 3, 2009, before he entered into any purchase or lease agree-ments for the three-parcel patchwork of properties he cobbled together for his proposed mega-block Po-tala Village on Lake Street South, Lake Washington Boulevard and 10th Ave. South.

But the Planning Commission’s current recommendation for a residential density limit of 36 units/acre for Neighbor-hood Business (BN) zones (e.g., the Potala proper-ties) is a far cry from the novice apartment developer’s demand for an unprecedented 116 units/acre. That’s the density equation of the proposed 143-apartment, 316-car garage, plus office space complex he’s been trying to ram through Kirkland for over two years. From the get-go, he threatened to sue the City if he didn’t get

his way. He has, along with his wife, Tamara Agassi Dargey, who apparently is his partner in the project. They’ve had the support of a series of high-powered lawyers and a fact-chal-lenged, Dargey-friendly, Draft EIS from Inova Planning Communications Design LLC.

The (Kirkland City) Council passed the Potala hot potato to the Planning Commission, in the form of a BN zone review, to study and make a recom-mendation on residential density. A vote on that rec-ommendation is expected at the Oct. 2 council meet-ing. Everyone concerned about the future of our waterfront should plan to

attend this landmark council meeting, which begins at 7:30 p.m.

The Commis-sioners conducted

public outreach, receiving hundreds of writ-ten comments from Kirk-land residents, along with oral testimony at a public hearing – the vast majority, of which I’m aware, call for adherence to the current surrounding property maximum of 12 units/acre (or 24, the previous limit should a property need to be rebuilt as originally constructed).

Citizens can show that a legal case can be made for holding the project proper-ties to the City’s own 12 units/acre restriction. But as a significant compro-mise, after a couple years of the community’s time, money, energy and effort spent on this thing, I could see 36 being acceptable. It’s hard to imagine that the city council wouldn’t ac-cept the recommendation from the Planning Com-missioners who worked hard at council’s direction, applying their collective expertise and doing exactly what the council asked of them.

So, it seems this episode in developer bully-boy tac-tics may soon be drawing to a close.

Lobsang Dargey may get to add a second apart-ment complex to his thin portfolio (joining the one apartment building he put up in Everett). While still large, 36 units/acre is sig-nificantly less harmful to the environment, pedestri-an and vehicle traffic, and quality of life for residents and visitors to the City’s waterfront than the current proposal. Hopefully, this fight will soon be over, and we can resume our lives without the constant threat of that absurd 143-unit leviathan on the corner

of Lake and 10th looming over our heads.Robin Herberger, Kirkland

Another Potala condo? No thanks

Another Potala condo in the Market Street Area? Not on your life!

The city planners and council have made a preemptive strike to limit any further building in that area to a density to 24 units

per acre. Yet no citizens have

asked for this exemption. This area, incidentally, is home to a city council member, a planning com-mission member and one city planner. That brings us to Potala on Lake Street which the city wants to build at approximately 116 units per acre for a total of 143 units

This behemoth building is four stories high with two parking floors under-ground with 316 parking spots. It will have one

driveway onto Lake Street.Over 800 people have

signed a petition oppos-ing Potala as currently configured.

It would be eminently reasonable for the city to negotiate a much reduced number of units and then build Potala nearly the same as the Market Street limit so recently passed.

The Market Street zon-ing certainly smacks of “enlightened self inter-est.” Perhaps the rest “be damned” applies here.J.F. Rogers, Kirkland

Julianna Wer� eli’s pas-sion for ultimate frisbee stems from her brother’s own fervor. She followed in Ryan’s footsteps by joining a private team at their high school, University Prep. And again when she won � rst place this August at the USA Ultimate Youth Club Championships a� er his victory last year.

“I love it,” Julianna Wer� eli said. “I de� nitely plan to play in college.”

So it’s no surprise that her dreams of playing ultimate frisbee in college align with her brother’s, who plans to make it happen when he attends Northwestern University in the fall.

His sister, at age 16, still has a while.

� e two have been in-

volved with the sport since 6th grade and both say they love that there’s no referees.

Julianna describes this feature as a part of the “Spir-it of the Game,” an o� cial rule in Ultimate. In Section 1. Introduction, item B. it states: “Ultimate relies upon

a spirit of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the player.”

In ultimate, players have been using the honor system for more than 30 years.

It was Julianna’s � rst time on the U-19 girls division, coached by Chris Forsberg or “Fozz” and Lisa Niemann, and according to Forsberg she “did pretty well.”

� e U-19 girls won their 8th championship at the tournament Aug. 11-12 at the National Sports Center in Blaine, Minn. It was hosted by the Minnesota HS League.

“It was really special,” Julianna said. “� e team worked together well, we worked hard. It was awe-some playing with people at such a high level.”

A non-partisan Kirkland group with Move to

Amend will present their cause to the Kirkland City Council on Sept. 18.

“Our goal is to have the Kirkland City Council vote on and pass a resolu-tion that will state simply - in their terms of course - that ‘corporations are not people and that money is not an expression of free speech,’” said Bill LaMa-rche, member of Move to Amend.

� e anti-‘Citizens United’ grassroots group, originally called “Citizens for Responsible Govern-ment,” is comprised of La-Marche, Andrea McBeth, Geo� Stevenson and Sally Mackle all of Kirkland.

� e four will present 350 petition-signatures and a three part Power Point presentation to the Council at the meeting. According to LaMarche, members of the Kirkland Move to Amend met indi-vidually with members of the council in August and

were “received well.”Move to Amend con-

nects small local groups and state-wide organiza-tions together with hopes to eventually change the ruling in Citizens United vs. Federal Election Com-mission. In 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United, which de� ned corpora-tions as “people.” LaMa-rche says this resulted in giving corporations all the Constitutional protections that an individual has but without restraints.

“� ere’s very little chance that a normal per-son, even a wealthy nor-mal person, has a chance to compete in terms of in� uence in a campaign,” LaMarche said.

Currently there are nine other Move to Amend groups - in Friday Harbor, Oak Harbor, Port Townsend, Port Angeles, Southworth, Auburn, Tacoma, Olympia and Richland - scattered throughout Washington. � eir main goal is to con-nect Washington so that they could form a state chapter.

LaMarche says corpora-tions or PACs are able to “buy o� ” elections in a non-transparent way.

“(Corporations) don’t want to see something like this pass because they want to contribute in silence because if you’re a shopper in their store and found out they were con-tributing huge amounts to a political campaign that you didn’t care for, you might stop shopping there,” LaMarche said.

LaMarche suggests political candidates get funding in a transparent way or through public donation. LaMarche says although he understands why people wouldn’t want to fund campaigns, he thinks that there should be a set amount to which candidates could individually promote themselves. � en public funds could kick in a� er that within a budget, it would be a lot more fair.

Kirkland residents are invited to weigh in on the meeting. More information on city council meetings visit kirklandwa.gov.

mother followed but it was too late, he had already reenlisted. Cragar’s grand-parents thought it best to raise her as their own.

“My real name was on my birth certi� cate but I never used it,” Cragar said.

Cragar grew up with a di� erent last name than her father’s surname, Wind, which made it very hard for her father to locate her. Not only was her last name di� erent but Wind and his family knew her as “Madeline Marie” instead of “Marie Mad-eline.” He also thought she was living in Seattle, when in actuality she had moved from Tucson to Sacra-mento, Calif., according to Cragar’s brothers and sisters.

� en this past February Cragar got a phone call. Her 12-year-old grandson Christopher needed some family history. Cragar was able to provide informa-tion on her husband’s family, who came from Germany, but that was it.

“I sat looking at myself and I thought, ‘where am I from? Where is every-thing?’” she said.

Cragar and her daughter Debbie began to unravel the family tree. � ey used ancestry.com and si� ed through the Internet. � ey

discovered that her father, George Wind, was in the Navy for 35 years. He had eaten dinner at the White House with President Ford and served at the Pentagon, an impressive history, she says. But to her dismay he had died shortly a� er Sept. 11, 2001 from an illness.

Cragar stopped look-ing for more but Debbie continued. She found an obituary of Cragar’s broth-er on her father’s side. � e names of her remaining brothers and sisters were listed.

A� er some time and hesitation Cragar � nally called her brother, also George Wind. She con-� rmed his identity, asked if he knew about his father’s previous marriage and child.

“I just lost it. I said ‘You

know about me?’ and he said ‘Hon, we’ve been looking for you for years. Dad wanted to � nd you so much,’” Cragar said.

Wind told her to call her sister, Cindy Bell. � rough many tears, talking and revelations with many members of her family, Cragar made the trip to Norfolk, Va. to � nally meet them.

“It just broke my heart. I couldn’t believe it,” Cragar said. “All of a sudden I had family coming out of the woodwork.”

Her trip was spent learning about her father, his military medals and funeral. Cragar’s newfound

family provided a video of his funeral, which helped her to gain closure.

“� ere was that part that was missing, now that part is closed,” Cragar said. “I have family and I know my dad loved me and wanted to � nd me. I think that’s the important part. Even though he passed away, at least I know how he felt.”

Cragar and the family have planned next year’s reunion. She and her husband plan to road trip across the country with stops in Oklahoma, Kansas and Virginia. She hopes one day they will be able to visit Kirkland and Seattle as well.
