Hundreds gather to catch a glimpse of President Obama By Carrie Wood cwood@kirklandreporter.com
Up Close
undreds of Kirkland residents cheered as President Barack Obama touched down at the former Seahawks practice field at Northwest University on Feb. 17 on his helicopter Marine One. Many in the crowd, which lined N.E. 53rd St. and 112th Ave. N.E. near the campus, had waited for over
two hours for the president, who was en route from an event at Everett’s Paine Field before heading to two private fund raisers in Bellevue and Medina. “I think he’s going to go blazing by us,” said Seattle

resident Barbara Buck, who heard about the event from a neighbor who lives in the area. “How do I tell Obama I’m a big fan?” Kirkland resident Kathy Cannon was driving home when she saw a crowd of people gathered at the corner of her street. “I was actually scared at first because I saw the police and so many people,” said Cannon, who joined the crowd after she found
out they were waiting for Obama’s arrival. “I read about it in the paper, but I didn’t know he’d be in Kirkland.” But others were not so surprised. [ more obama page 3 ]

More than 60 people participate in gathering for missing Sky Metalwala By Matt Phelps mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
Balloons dotted the Bellevue skyline Saturday night during an event to bring awareness and hope to the case of a missing 3-year-old boy. More than 60 people endured the wind and rain to attend the candle-light vigil and balloon release for Sky Metalwala. “Do you see how cold it is?” asked Solomon Metalwala, Sky’s father.
“I’m frozen. These people, especially Search and Seek, are amazing.” The organization Search and Seek helped Metalwala, along with his attorney Clay Terry, to put together the event and keep attention on the missing-person case. “I am overwhelmed,” said Solomon. “It is amazing how generous people are in the concern they have showed for Sky.” The event began with everyone taking a bundle [ more sky page 3 ]

Cranes in Juanita Two construction projects will add nearly 300 residential units to neighborhood By Matt Phelps mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
Construction in Juanita is beginning to ramp up again as two projects, which were first proposed during the middle of the last decade, are taking shape. The Juanita Village 5 and the Weidner apartment building will add nearly 300 new residential dwellings to the Juanita Village area of Kirkland. The two sites will also contain the only two cranes in Kirkland in just a few weeks. “The Juanita Village construction is the final piece left in the development of the Juanita Village Master Plan,” said City of Kirkland senior planner Angela Ruggeri. “It will contain a mix of commercial and residential uses similar to the other development in Juanita Village to the north and east of this piece.” Both are mixed use and will contain underground parking. The Weidner building will be located on 98th Ave. N.E., across the street from the Wells Fargo Bank. “I can actually see it from my office,” said the project’s architect Mike Ivancic. There is another Weidner building in the Juanita neighborhood of Kirkland next to Michaels. “We currently have not leased any of the mixed-use space yet,” said Ivancic.
The three-story buildings will house over 4,000 square feet of retail and 102 apartment rental units from one to two bedrooms and three commercial spaces on the ground floor. It will also have two floors of underground parking. “We have limited parking so we can’t put in doctors offices or a Starbucks,” said Ivancic, of the project that was approved by the City of Kirkland Design Review Board in 2006. The project is set to be two buildings. “We will be done with the south (building) in early summer and then the other one will follow,” said Ivancic. “We bought the project because it was permit-ready.” Weidner owns property in five separate states. MM Properties of Houston, which purchased the Juanita Village 5 project from Avalon Bay, began construction a few weeks ago. The site is located between Spuds and Starbucks and across the street from Juanita Beach Park, inside Juanita Village. The project will complete the Juanita Village complex that began in 2000. The mixed-use project is slated to have approximately 189 residential dwellings, according to city officials. The Reporter attempted to [ more juanita page 3 ]

maniyah, Iraq for two weeks and conducted a series of interviews with Malkandi. “Initially, it was a little scary because obviously this was a guy who’s been charged with being a travel facilitator for Al Qaeda,” said Stonehill. “So during the first meeting we were nervous about how this guy was going to be and within 10 minutes of meeting him that was all pretty much gone because he’s such a friendly person and very personable and gentle. He has an accent and is from another country, but he’s very American in his taste and in
his mannerisms and ideas.” Stonehill and Stuteville also spoke with Malkandi’s wife, Mali, her son, Arvin and daughter, Nicole at their Kirkland home. They spoke with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, with Malkandi’s friends and neighbors and poured through court documents. “We started to realize, wow this is a very compelling story and it’s really hard to figure out whether these accusations are valid or not,” said Stonehill, who also teaches [ more FILM page 9 ]

She told the crowd that all they need is one person who knows where Sky is to come forward. “We have helped to bring kids home for three years,” said the college student from Morton, Wash. “It was great to have all of these people here, but honestly it would have been okay if it was just one person. We just want to see Sky come home. I want to be there to give him the biggest hug in the world.” People came from all around the Eastside for the event.

Northwest University junior Ashlynn Pauls said the campus was abuzz on Feb. 15 when at least eight helicopters were reported near the school. The helicopters were practice landing at the Northwest University field in anticipation of Obama’s visit to the region, said Secret Service spokesperson Bob Kierstad on Feb. 15. “Rumor got around that Obama was going to land here,” said Pauls. “I’m really excited because nothing exciting happens like this at this school.” Before the president arrived, the crowd held up iPhones and cameras as several government helicopters landed. Then Kirkland police and the Secret Service closed off 53rd St. to traffic as a motorcade of nearly a dozen police motorcycles and government vehicles passed through. Tara Bobbarjung and Camryn Martin, both 5 years old, waved American flags as the motorcade passed, while others yelled out, “I think I see Obama waving.” The motorcade traveled southbound on I-405 to the fund-raising events in Bellevue and Medina.

Lucky to be near Obama, a ‘relatable leader’

athleen Hughbanks, a Boeing flight inspector, might very well have been correct when she said that introducing President Barack Obama would be the “most exciting introduction of my life.” Certainly, this has been the most exciting story I have covered to date. On Feb. 17, President Obama spoke at Boeing in Everett, the first standing president to do so in nearly two decades. Having heard of the president’s visit early the week before, I reached out to contacts in Washington, D.C., and, after many e-mails, found myself in attendance at this closed-to-the-public event. I arrived at Boeing just after 7 a.m. Feb. 17 to join other bleary-eyed journalists four-and-a-half hours prior to the President’s remarks. Clutching my coffee in one hand and my camera in the other, I waited for an hour out in the cold, a half-hour on the buses and then three hours in the hangar to hear his half-hour speech. It was well worth it. Mr. Obama spoke on manufacturing and the economy, commending congress for passage of the payroll tax extensions while calling on them to act further and send him tax reform legislation — expected rhetoric from a president running for re-election on the basis of a “do-nothing” congress. He thanked Boeing employees for their hard work and for production of the 787 Dreamliner, which he heralded as “the plane of the future.” Through all this, the president seemed particularly entertained by the automatic dimmer technology in the Dreamliner’s windows. “This is pretty spiffy,” he said to reporters while touring the facility. It’s comments like this that characterize Mr. Obama’s style. He speaks with an eloquence that is humorous yet inspiring, casual yet authoritative. He weaves together colloquialisms with down-to-earth comments, commending Americans for their hard work while reminding them that “we’ve still got a

long way to go.” From his infectious smile to his joking mannerisms, to his invigorating comments, I found myself quickly enthralled by the president’s words. “America is a place where we can always do something to create new jobs and new opportunities and new manufacturing and new securities for the middle class,” he said. “That’s why we’re here.” For many, the president is a symbol of a divided America, but after listening to him speak, I feel he represents a unifying figure, able to precisely command a crowd and instill a sense of nationalistic pride. For those in attendance, watching him wave and then jog down the steps of a Dreamliner prior to speaking is a moment not soon to be forgotten. For many, the days will have continued to unfold; history will have come and gone. But to me, last Friday will remain one when the president became more than just a figure on a television screen, he became a friendly face, a wide smile and a relatable leader.

Residents should get past ‘us’ versus ‘them’ I’m a recent enthusiastic “immigrant to Kirkland” and am sorry to see the complaints about fixing roads in a recent letter. It’s impossible to tell who and in what proportion drove over what road and how much wear and tear that may have caused. Those of us recently annexed probably contributed to the problem. But the main point is that the residents of Kirklandbefore-annexation will help pay for repairs, improvements, and services we need. The sooner we get past any us versus them, from either direction, the better.

Loopholes large enough to drive a Mack truck through I have read with interest several letters over the last few weeks regard-
ing motor vehicle concerns. It started with Margarette Bull’s letter, which I had to keep double-checking to make sure I hadn’t written it myself, and continues the third week of February with letters prompted by the ridiculously light sentences afforded drunk drivers, and indeed any driver who kills a human being through their carelessness. Bull is correct that laws that narrowly focus on specific behavior, such as the cell phone law she cites and the “secured load” law passed a few years ago, are pointless. They rarely actually change driver behavior, and fail to address the broader issues that lead to irresponsible driver behavior. And yet, even as I’m encouraged by seeing similar-minded folks writing such letters, my daily experience on the roads, with law enforcement, and with our elected officials leads me to conclude that we have a very long way to go before the roads are as safe as they can and should be. Far too many drivers willfully ignore traffic laws
and safety, endangering those around them. Law enforcement agencies make no real effort to deal with these drivers, and when a motorist does violate the law, blatantly disregarding the safety of another human being and killing them in the process, our prosecutors shirk their duty and don’t even press charges (as in the case of John Przychodzen, a cyclist killed in Juanita last year by a motorist who couldn’t be bothered to stay off the shoulder). Legislators aren’t much help either, as they “craft” (and I use the word loosely) new laws that purport to improve safety but have large enough loopholes to drive a Mack truck through, and aren’t enforced strictly anyway. But it seems that our prosecutors are interested only in taking on cases that are an obvious slam-dunk from the outset anyway. If the driver wasn’t drunk, they just brush the case off, citing the challenge of proving their case (as if they were promised an easy profession), rather
than doing their job. The bottom line here is that it’s absurd for motor vehicle law to treat harm to others differently from the rest of the law. We don’t need “vehicular homicide.” Our existing manslaughter and murder charges are sufficient, and using them would carry the exact same penalties we’ve agreed are suitable for other scenarios in which one person’s willful actions lead to the death of another, taking into account such questions as intent and forethought. A person who feels they cannot meet the obligation to stay within their own lane, to not distract themselves with a phone, a newspaper, a hair brush or cosmetics, a razor, or a bowl of cereal (to name just some of the distractions I’ve seen) should not be behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.

Meatless Monday: a growing movement By Karen Gaudette PCC Natural Markets
Going vegetarian one meal or more each week can improve your personal health and the health of the planet by reducing the amount of energy and finite resources farmers use to raise livestock. Even better, going meatless weekly also can taste great with the help of hearty recipes that don’t skimp on flavor. Why Monday? Leading public health schools including Johns Hopkins, Syracuse and Columbia say Monday is the best day each week for a fresh start, to form and stick with healthy new habits. Why meatless? Those same public health schools say going meatless even once a week may help reduce your risk of chronic conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Reducing demand for meat also can help conserve precious resources such as the fossil fuel to operate all the machinery used to grow livestock feed and the fresh water used to irrigate all those crops. When you do eat beef or lamb, they strongly recommend meat from
grass-fed herds, free of artificial hormones and Black Bean and Yam Quesadilla Serves 1 (2 quesadillas) raised on pasture rather than in feedlots. Kick off your Meatless Mondays with this delicious recipe for Black Bean and Yam Quesadillas. Then find even more hearty vegetarian recipes in PCC’s Recipe Database: pccnaturalmarkets.com/pcc/recipes/taste/ meatless-mondays You might be surprised how delicious beans, grains, tempeh and other meat alternatives can be.
Recipe by Karen Lamphere, PCC Cooks instructor
1 teaspoon olive oil, plus extra for spraying 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 1 teaspoon Mexican seasoning (available wherever bulk spices are sold) 2 teaspoons water 1 cup grated yam (about 1/2 medium yam) 1/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained Salt and pepper 2 corn or wheat tortillas 1/3 cup grated cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese Your favorite prepared salsa Heat the oil in a medium, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes or until onion is soft. Add the seasoning and water and cook 1 more minute, stirring. Add the yam and beans, stir. Cover and cook for about 6 minutes until the yam is tender but not mushy. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Place tortilla in a skillet; spray with olive oil. Turn over and spray the other side. Add some of the mixture to half of the tortilla, top with some of the cheese and fold tortilla in half. Cook in a skillet on each side for about 2 minutes, until cheese melts and the filling is warm. Repeat with other tortilla. Serve with prepared salsa.

digital storytelling at the University of Washington, along with Stuteville. “So what we thought was going to be a pretty small project, we realized there was a lot of potential to do more with it.” Upon returning to Seattle, Stuteville and Stonehill, cofounders of the multimedia journalism nonprofit the Common Language Project, joined forces with the Last Quest, a local production company, to turn their reporting into a feature-length documentary, “Barzan.” The film explores the controversial issues of immigration, xenophobia and the price of security in the 21st century. Barzan was Malkandi’s childhood nickname that connected him to a suspected terrorist, Tawfiq bin Attash. Malkandi attempted to fraudulently obtain a U.S. visa for Bin Attash to travel to the U.S. and receive medical treatment. Bin Attash was a former bodyguard of Osama bin Laden and is suspected of planning the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa and the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000. However, Malkandi, now 53, said he was just trying to help a friend of a friend. Stonehill says he hopes the film will provoke people to think about “our own desires to feel safe and what the costs of that are and I hope it’ll provoke thought about whether that’s worth it.” His team now needs post-production funds to complete their film, and has turned to Kickstarter. com to help raise $8,400 by March 2. Kickstarter projects must reach their fund-raising goals or lose all pledges.
