Rebels beat Kangs for district softball title BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

The Rebel softball team is now 4-0 against cross-town rival Lake Washington after a 5-2 victory May 17 for the district title at Lower Woodland Park in Seattle. The win comes on the heels of Juanita defeating the Kangs for the KingCo title last week. But Lake Washington keeps getting closer to beating the defending state champions. Both teams qualified for the state tournament on Friday. “I am just so proud of

our girls. They have really played as a team and are never selfish,” said Juanita coach Kristian Dahl, whose team won the state title last year. “We expected to go in and have some tough games. It has been a different focus this year because we have that target. They just do a good job of taking one game at a time. Every team gives us their absolute best.” The win for the Rebels (21-1) came despite only one of their runs being earned. The Rebels jumped on top of the Kangs during the first inning, scoring [ more SOFTBALL page 11 ]

The filing deadline to run for elected positions came and went on Friday and the races are now set in the 45th and 48th districts that represent Kirkland in Olympia. All but one incumbent representative will be seeking re-election and only one incumbent is running unopposed, according to the state Public Disclosure

Commission. State Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, flirted with running for the 1st Congressional District seat towards the end of 2011 but dropped his bid in April. Goodman has decided to seek re-election for the 45th District Pos. 1. Goodman, who has already raised more than $13,000, according to the PDC, is running for his fourth term in Olympia. Goodman will be chal-

more than five minutes to go through the crosswalk in the busy arterial’s 10400 block, just west of Juanita High School. Cars don’t stop. Many whip by, going faster than the 20 mph school zone, despite the white crosswalk lines that mark the street and yellow crossing signs.

When the coast is clear, some students dart across. Others wait to make eye contact with a vigilant driver, who stops to let them cross. Kirkland resident Jenny Guempel called the City of Kirkland in March to complain about this dangerous [ more CROSSWALK page 3 ]

Local candidates file for political races lenged by two Eastside residents. The first is Republican Joel Hussey of Redmond. Hussey touts himself as a businessman and has worked in the aviation sector during his 20-year career. His company Tailwind Capital manages and markets aircraft for airlines around the world. Hussey’s campaign has raised close to $18,000, according to the PDC. Goodman will also be challenged by a fellow Kirk-

land resident and Democrat, Jacob Bond. Bond is a political newcomer, who served in Iraq with the United States Marine Corps. He is currently pursuing a business degree from Bellevue College, according to his website. Bond has raised nearly $3,000, according to the PDC. All three candidates will face each other in a top-two primary in August. [ more ELECTION page 6 ]

Bellevue buyer plans to complete controversial Bel Lago project BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

For years, the Bel Lago Condominiums have been a source of frustration and contempt for Juanita neighbors. The second-largest building in Kirkland, standing sevenand-a-half stories tall, towers over the neighborhood and Juanita Beach. It was built in 2008 just outside of the Kirkland city limits in unincorporated King County prior to the 2011 annexation and has sat unfinished - until now. Bellevue-based Legacy Homes of Washington purchased the building on April 20 for $4.7 million and plans to finish the building located at 9115 N.E. Juanita Drive and sell the individual condos. “We are a local company made up of a few local investors,” said Jed Murphy, general manager of Legacy Homes. “Bel Lago was in our backyard and we felt like we could do a good job finishing it.” The building is missing decks, siding, some doors, windows and other things. The most recent addition came last year when someone tagged the building with ob-

scene graffiti. The paint was eventually cleaned off days after the Reporter printed a story on the issues surrounding the building. However, Murphy said his company has a development of single-family homes at the top of Finn Hill and has a stake in how the neighborhood looks. “We saw an opportunity and it is nice to be able to also help the Juanita community,” said Murphy. Murphy said that many of the investors live in or grew up on the Eastside. “We want to add value back to the neighborhood we grew up in,” said Murphy. Legacy was not the only company that bid on Bel Lago as the condominium sold in two weeks. “We had it listed at the end of February and we only had a 14 day call for offers,” said Wes Falkenborg of the Cameron Group, the real estate group that represented First Citizens Bank, which sold the property. “There was quite a bit of interest. There is a lot of demand for well located, well priced real estate properties.” But Falkenborg admitted that he was pleasantly surprised with the haste of

crosswalk where her son and daughter walk to school and where her son was nearly hit by a car. Nearly two months later, a vehicle struck her 16-year-old son, Josh, in that crosswalk on May 15. Now, Guempel is outraged that the city hasn’t done anything about the unsafe crosswalk. “I called the city to complain about the crosswalk and nothing has been done,” she said. “And now my son was hit in that crosswalk. I don’t feel good about it.” Josh, his 14-year-old sister Nicole who goes to Kamiakin Junior High and a neighbor went to the crosswalk before school on May 15 at approximately 7:30 a.m. “We walked out to the crosswalk and looked up the hill and it was clear, so we started walking and a car turned out from one of the side roads,” said Josh, noting they thought they made eye contact with the driver because it looked like he slowed down. When they crossed the street southbound, “my sister stopped, my friend jumped forward and even if I had jumped forward or backwards, I still would have gotten hit,” said Josh, who turned 17 on Monday and is a sophomore at Juanita High School. “I was in the middle of the crosswalk and couldn’t get out of the way.” The vehicle struck Josh so hard that his shoes flew off and he slammed into the pavement, he said. He broke his wrist, and injured his shoulders, ankle and scraped his knees and elbows. He also got a deep cut on him arm that struck and broke the vehicle’s bug guard. “Everything happened so quickly,” said Josh, who didn’t go to school for the rest of the week due to his injuries and trauma. “An off-duty fireman four cars back came up and told me not to move and tried to calm me down because everything was hurting.” The driver stayed on scene and put his jacket under Josh’s head. The driver said the sun made it difficult for him to see,

the sale. “We didn’t think it would sell quite that fast,” said Falkenborg. “It was a high visibility project and people were tracking it for quite awhile.” The one big thing that sets Legacy apart from the other bidders is that they are local, according to Murphy. Taxes on the sale came in at $83,665. The City of Kirkland stands to take in $23,500. “The city receives .5 percent of the sale price as Real Estate Excise Tax (REET),” said City of Kirkland Intergovernmental Relations Manager Lorrie McKay. REET revenues are used primarily to fund transportation and parks capital projects as adopted by the city council through the city’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). A bill passed last year permits local real estate excise taxes to be used for maintenance and operation expenditures of existing capital facilities through calendar year 2016, according to McKay. But what residents want to know is when the eyesore will become a habited building. “We are still evaluating things but we are prepared to spend millions of dollars if

necessary,” said Murphy, noting that there is no defined timetable for when construction will resume at the site. “We understand that some of the locals are upset and think it is an eyesore,” said Murphy. “But we have talked with some of the neighbors and they are excited someone is planning to complete the building to a high level of quality. We are not here to cut corners.” Bel Lago Condominiums LLC applied for permits to finish the property on May 4 as they exist and as approved and inspected by King County, said McKay. “No significant issues have been identified” with the permitting process, she said. Murphy said that when construction begins there will be no stopping until the building is finished. “We do not anticipate any start and stops,” said Murphy, noting that the community will see a big difference with a local business finishing the building. “There are a lot of out-ofstate businesses that never see their projects in person,” said Murphy. “Our ownership walked the site themselves before we bought the

said police. He faces citations, pending an investigation. Another woman called an ambulance and Guempel at work. “Anytime you get that kind of a phone call your mind goes blank and you’re just freaking out,” said Guempel. The first time her son was nearly hit, Guempel called the city on March 19. A car had stopped to let Josh cross, but a truck behind the car didn’t. The truck rear-ended the car, which spun around and almost hit him, said Josh. “My mom called the city to let people know to get signs that show the crosswalk is well used,” he said, noting that sometimes after school he has to wait up to 10 minutes for people to stop so he can cross Northeast 132nd Street. “I would like something to be done because I don’t want it to happen to someone else. I don’t want something to happen to my sister. I would rather have someone do something about it sooner rather than later.” Guempel wants the same thing. In fact, in the past few years that her kids have walked to school, she has contacted the city several times to report the dangerous activity she has seen: “Police cars not stopping, school busses not stopping and cars going around the kids in the turn lane,” said Guempel, who has volunteered as a crossing guard near AG Bell Elementary for five years. “I’ve been flipped off. We’ll stand there with our arms in the air trying to get cars to stop. It’s amazing to me how many people are too busy or maybe the crosswalk is just not marked clear enough.” According to a 2007 city traffic analysis study, the average weekday traffic along the arterial ranges from 12,000-20,000 vehicles per day. Out of 32 cross streets along the two-mile stretch, only eight of the intersections are signalized, including the intersection at Juanita High School, according to a street master study. City collision data from 2001-2006 shows that most locations along the Northeast 132nd Street corridor have less than three accidents per year.

The Bel Lago Condo is the second-tallest building in Kirkland. New ownership plans to finish the controversial building. FILE PHOTO property.” Bel Lago was appraised in 2011 at $5.121 million and has 18 individual condos. The former owners of the building listed the condos for sale on a website before First Citizens Bank foreclosed the property. The cheapest unit at the ground floor was priced at $695,950 for two beds and two baths, while the top floor was priced at nearly $3 million for a three bedroom, three-and-half bath. The land and a single-fam-

ily home were sold in 2002 by a private trust for $1.4 million to Juanita Point LLC, according to King County tax records. It was then sold again in 2005 for $2.6 million to Eisenhower and Carlson PLLC and permits for the building were approved that same year. The land rests on the old border of unincorporated King County and the city. Bel Lago would not have been allowed within city limits under the city’s Shoreline Master Plan.

The day after her son was hit, Guempel said a city crew came out and cut overhanging tree branches near the lane of the accident. But cutting branches isn’t what she’s after, she said. “I would think that someone would have called me back right away, especially if a child was hit,” she said. “I would think more should be done than just cutting branches the next day. I would think there would be some sincere thoughts from the city and something done or showing me something’s going to be done.” David Godfrey, a transportation engineer from the city’s Public Works Department, said the city’s typical process for handling citizen complaints is to call them back and try to find a solution. “We should have called her back, but we didn’t,” said Godfrey. “We just didn’t do a good job of getting back to her on that.” Godfrey did speak with Guempel this week after the Reporter contacted the city. He said the city soon plans to put pedestrian flags at the crosswalk on Northeast 132nd Street and 105th Avenue Northeast that Guempel will volunteer to oversee. But with many crosswalk complaints, the solution is not that simple, said Godfrey. “The city’s original policy with pedestrian flags was if people wanted to volunteer at that crosswalk, we would install the flags,” he said, noting with budget cuts a few years ago, the city decided not to install any new pedestrian flags. “We’re a long ways from our policy because you have to manage these volunteers and that position was cut back.” He added sometimes pedestrian flags do become available when pedestrian crosswalk lights known as Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are installed and the flags are no longer needed at a particular location. The city recently installed RRFBs at a location on Market Street where there were flags, which will now go on Northeast 132nd Street. more story online… kirklandreporter.com

EDITORIAL

Don’t let anger be a deadly choice

he Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization did itself a lot of damage nationally with its attempt to pull funding from Planned Parenthood. Locally, the ramifications are being felt as registration for the Race for the Cure event is down by 44 percent. Those who haven’t signed up as in years’ past may want to make a point, but it’s one that’s hurting women – and men – who benefit from the money Komen raises to fight breast cancer. About 75 percent of the funds raised by Komen Puget Sound stay here to provide services to underserved and low-income women in Western Washington. The remaining 25 percent goes to fund global research for the cure. None of the funds raised locally support the national Komen organization’s salaries or expenses. In particular, the funds particularly help those who are low-income, under-served and uninsured. And, the numbers show the need. Last year, Komen Puget Sound funded 13,000 mammograms through the Washington State Department of Health. Those mammograms discovered breast cancer among 209 women. There’s no question the race has helped local women. When treated early, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer is 98 percent, but later detection drops this to just

Donations needed to save Kirkland’s 4th of July event Kirkland’s 4th of July celebration is creeping up on us and so far this has been a very difficult fund-raising year. I fear the tediously slow economic recovery is making a lot of organizations and people hesitate longer before making commitments. At this point we are still almost $40,000 away from our necessary goal and the timeline is closing fast. Tod and Brett Johnson of Lee Johnson Auto family have really stepped up and are sponsoring the parade this year. They will match up to $10,000 in contributions so anything you can do will go even further in helping us meet our goal. The 4th of July celebration in Kirkland is one of our finest traditions. Thousands and thousands of our citizens will attend the parades and fireworks. It really is a day we celebrate the pride we have both in our country and our very special hometown.

Anything you can do will help! I’d love to hear from you or go to our webpage at www. celebratekirkland.org.

City should reconsider investment in the Times I just read in the Kirkland Reporter last night that the City of Kirkland still considers the Seattle Times the best paper to put its news/notices in. Are they nuts? The Kirkland Reporter (old name Courier) is my best news source for Kirkland. I’ve always looked at it but especially in the last four years or so I have come to rely on it. Just six months or so ago I reduced my Seattle Times delivery to only Sundays and am thinking of deleting that as well. But the Reporter is our Kirkland. It is succinct. Timely. And I don’t have to wade through other information to bump into a Kirkland story like in the Times. Please reconsider your investment in the Times.

Pos. 2 from the 45th District will see Union Hill resident and Republican Jim Thatcher challenge Democrat incumbent and Kirkland resident Larry Springer. Thatcher is a principal program manager at Microsoft. He announced his bid on May 16 and does not have a website yet. Springer, who served as Kirkland mayor while on the city council, is seeking his third term in Olympia. He has raised more than $86,000, according to the PDC. In the 48th District, incumbent Democrat Rep. Ross Hunter, who has served five terms in the legislature, will be challenged by Bellevue resident Bill Hirt for Pos. 1. The PDC has no record of any fund raising for Hirt but Hunter has raised nearly $30,000. Pos. 2, which is currently held by retiring Democrat Rep. Deb Eddy, will be contested by Democrat Kirkland resident Cyrus Habib and Redmond City Councilman Hank Myers, a Republican. Habib, who is blind, has his own law firm in Bellevue and volunteers as a trustee of the Bellevue College Foundation, a Human Services Commissioner for the City of Bellevue and with Bellevue Rotary and the Overlake Hospital Foundation. Myers is a small business owner currently serving his second term on the council and has served appointments on three Metro Transit citizen sounding boards, where he examined Eastside transit service and served as a board spokesperson to the King County Council for each. Habib has raised more than $107,000 for the race so far. The PDC has no fundraising documents available for Myers. Republican and Kirkland resident Bill Finkbeiner will run against incumbent Lt. Governor Brad Owen. Finkbeiner served as a representative and state senator for 14 years from the 45th District and grew up in Kirkland. According to the PDC, Finkbeiner has raised more than $94,000. Owen has been the state’s Lt. Governor since 1996 and has raised more than $109,000, according to the PDC. Two other Eastside residents will run for Lt. Governor. Rep. Glenn Anderson, a Republican from Issaquah, has served in the legislature since 2000 and raised more than $700 for the Lt. Governor’s race, while Bellevue resident and Party of Commons member Clifford Greene has not raised any money thus far.

Author’s new book touches on experience as public defender BY CARRIE WOOD cwood@kirklandreporter.com

scene Magazine is coming to Kirkland May 25!

Scene Magazine is the only lifestyle, entertainment, arts and fashion magazine on the Eastside. The content in Scene Magazine is local, relevant and up to date each month; focusing on the urban lifestyle on the Eastside. Here is that you’ll read about in the May 25th edition of

Kirkland resident Royce Roberts, who is a King County public defender, will read from his new book, “Public Pretender” during an event at Parkplace Books May 31. CARRIE WOOD, Kirkland Reporter moving against you and your fundamental constitutional rights.” In his book, the main character, a recent law school graduate whose ambition is to practice corporate law, winds up at a public defense firm representing people he didn’t know existed. Against his will, he grows as a person and a lawyer, sometimes landing in humorous or tragic situations. “He wants to work as a corporate lawyer and this is

the last thing that he wants to get into, so he’s feeling as if he’s a bit of a pretender himself,” said Roberts, who lives in the Bridle Trails neighborhood with daughter, Rachel and wife, Maura. “It’s almost a fish out of water story.” What makes dependency law worthwhile for Roberts is the joy of seeing families come back together – a feeling he doesn’t get with criminal law, he says.

King County public defender Royce Roberts can’t say the number of times his clients have asked him if he’s a real attorney. It’s one of the “common insults” that clients have for public defenders, says Roberts, “that they are public pretenders instead of public defenders.” Some clients feel he is only pretending to care. “Of course, everybody who works for an agency has to pass the bar just like everybody else,” said the Kirkland resident. “But somehow, some of the clients don’t feel that it’s any good if it’s free.” Roberts explores this misconception and more in his book, “Public Pretender” that was recently released. He will read from his new book during an event at 7 p.m. May 31 at Parkplace Books. A public defender for more than 20 years, his book began as a way of understanding what he was experiencing at juvenile court with his clients and the child welfare system. Roberts, who got his law degree at the University of Santa Clara, works as a public defender for the countyfunded non-profit agency, the Society of Counsel Representing Accused Persons (SCRAP). He said the book is unusual because while many books are about criminal law, his novel is about dependency law, which he has practiced for about 15 years. “Dependency law is where children’s protective services file a petition and remove children (from their family),” said Roberts. “Our state Supreme Court has said, yes, it’s not a criminal prosecution, but you’re entitled to a lawyer at public expense because the government is

Notes For sea salt and vinegar chips: Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon vinegar on the kale before roasting, or you can use a good-quality vinegar as a dipping sauce after the chips are cooked.

Quick Tips •

Prep your greens as soon as you get home so they’re always ready to add to a stir-fry, soup, pasta or toss with other salad greens. Rinse, pat dry, then hold stem in one hand and use your other hand to tug the leafy part away to separate. Roll each leaf to easily slice thin, then store in containers or baggies in the fridge until ready to enjoy.

Kangs lose to Bainbridge in state lacrosse playoffs mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

he Lake Washington boys lacrosse team opened the 2012 season with a dramatic onepoint win against the high powered Bainbridge Island team. The Kangs’ season

came to an end Wednesday with a one-point loss to the Spartans during the first round of the state playoffs. Lake Washington got on the board early, scoring a goal during the first quarter. The Kangs took a 1-0 lead into the second quarter where the Spartan offense got on the

board. Lake Washington added to their advantage during the quarter, taking a 5-3 lead into the locker room for half time. But the momentum that Bainbridge gained just prior to half time carried over the third period as they scored three more and tied the game

at 6-6. The fourth period was a battle to see who would come out on the winning end, just like the teams meeting to start the season. Bainbridge narrowly out scored Lake Washington 4-3 during the final frame to advance in the state playoffs and end the

inches better than her KingCo performance and the next closest competitor at districts. From there, she continued to dominate, taking first in the triple jump by three feet with a distance of 38-feet, 7.75-inches. The senior showed why she is one of the fastest runners in the state, taking first in the 100-meters with a time of 12.36 seconds and the 200-meters with a time of 25.20. Fellow Rebel senior Kate Cryderman also had a good couple of days in West Seattle, taking first in the discus with a distance of 123-feet, 9-inches, 10 feet better than the next closest competitor. Cryderman also won the shot put with a distance of 39-feet, 8.25-inches. She finished second during the javelin competition (115-feet, 5-inches). Rebel Molly Grager gave the team its seventh firstplace finish, winning the high jump with 5-feet, 4-inches. Grager also took third in the long jump (34-feet, 11.25-inches), while teammate Mikayla Jones placed fourth (34-feet, 5.5-inches).

The Juanita High School girls track and field team won the district title on May 18. CONTRIBUTED “When you have only 24 girls on the team it can be hard to win dual meets, but a little easier in bigger meets because we have so many talented girls,” said Kells. “Eleven girls qualified out of Kingco’s for the District meet and when you have athletes like Alanna, Kate and Molly who have been great leaders for us this year, it was our

time. Those three went into that meet and put their team on their back and lead them to the win. It was awesome.” Rebel Lilja Jonsson tied for third in the high jump at five feet. Lake Washington junior Sara Wilson helped carry the banner for the Kangs, finishing second in the 300-meter hurdles (46.68 seconds).

Even when she doesn’t have her best stuff physically she is able to be mentally tough and battle through it.” Lake Washington pitcher Whitney Dunlap pitched equally well, throwing a complete game seven-hitter, walking just one and giving up just the one earned-run. Dani Faist, Aliah Sweere and Rachel O’Neill all had two hits each for the Rebels. Kayla Hill was 2-for-3 with an RBI

three runs and adding a fourth run during the second inning. But Lake Washington battled back, scoring two during the fourth to keep the game close. Juanita would extend their lead to 5-2 during the sixth. Juanita’s Allison Rhodes continued her dominating ways, throwing a complete game four-hitter, with six strikeouts, three walks and allowing just one-earned run. “A lot of times a player will sign (their letter of intent)

for the Kangs. Despite the loss, Lake Washington keeps improving against their cross-town rival. During their first meeting the Rebels won 9-2. The Kangs got closer on April 26 with a 4-0 loss. The team lost the KingCo title by a score of 9-1. “Lake Washington played phenomenally against us,” said Dahl. “The teams in KingCo are getting much better.” Lake Washington is the only team to really chal-

The Rebels hit early and often, scoring five in the first, two in the second and four during the third, while collecting 10 hits. They only gave up four hits as Rhodes struck out nine Patriots and walked just one. Faist, Swere, Keana Miller and Abbey Oswald all collected two hits.

again. The trial date for Jill Elaine Lane, 32, was originally set for December and is now scheduled for June 20. The case involves Lane’s arrest at a Market neighborhood home on June 15, 2010. She was charged with crimi-

Just before Lane’s trialreadiness hearing on April 16, the city prosecuting attorney’s office gave Magee a five-page transcript of the recording. The city said one of its witnesses, Mark von der Burg – the real estate agent of the $3.2 million Kirkland home in the case – said he used his iPhone to record a meeting between himself, Lane and a

Magee wouldn’t comment on what was said during the meeting, but did say the recording was made illegally and without Lane’s consent. Prosecution also told the judge it did not intend on using the recording. However, Magee said the recording brought a new “twist” to the case and Lambo moved the trial-readiness hearing to May 17 to give the city time to retrieve the recording. “Where’s the recording – we don’t have it,” said Magee on May 17, noting that the transcript appeared incomplete and unofficial. “Lane’s rights have been violated, which is ground for dismissal.” He also said the prosecuting attorney’s office “made no effort to inquire if this recording existed” during its nearly two-year-long investigation.

Von der Burg also admitted to prosecutors that Lane didn’t know about the recording.
