Woman travels across country to find family BY 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 flew across the country to meet her brothers and sisters for the very first time. “It went well, and really, it was like we had never been apart,” Cragar said. In 1946, Cragar’s mother and father met after 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 after, 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 after World War II and he had some issues to deal with,” Cragar said. “She left 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 [ more FAMILY page 9 ]

Police Blotter The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter Police Blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 1,000 per week. Between Aug. 31 and Sept. 6 the Kirkland Police Department reported 781 traffic violations (four
DUIs), 40 alarm calls, 25 noise complaints, 23 traffic violations in school zones, 18 calls of disturbance, 21 thefts, eight car prowls, 13 acts of traffic abandonment, 11 calls of civil disturbance, seven reported burglaries, 12 domestic violence calls, eight calls for harassment, one assault and five acts of fraud. At least 28 people were arrested.
Sept. 5 Domestic violence: 12:02 a.m., 7711 N.E. 142nd Place. An 18-year-old man and his roommate got into an argument about the man’s marijuana use. He threw a glass lampshade and cut his roommate’s arm. The roommate punched the man and took him out of the house. The 18-year-old was arrested
because police determined him as the “primary aggressor.” Order violation: 3:01 p.m., 12505 N.E. 117th Place. A 57-year-old man was arrested for violating domestic violence no contact order with a 64-year-old woman.

Vehicular homicide suspect released on bond BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
A King County Superior Court judge reduced the bail Monday for a Kirkland woman accused of causing a head-oncollision 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 Hudson’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 resident 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 vehicular 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 Donahoe. “We didn’t want the defendant released on personal recognizance.
We also wanted to get as many conditions as possible.” 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 allowed to drive any type of motor vehicle or enter any business where alcohol is served or sold. Hudson allegedly told police after the crash that she had taken prescription medication with wine just prior to the crash on Finn Hill’s busy Juanita Drive, according to court documents.
Join QFC’s Quest for the Cure QFC’s charity of the month for September is The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. 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 double, 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 chemotherapy, 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 families. 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 institutions 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 Society 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 raising competition, and the Team in Training program.

Two brothers die in motorcycle accident at Juanita Park and Ride BY RAECHEL DAWSON
rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Kirkland police responded to a motorcycle accident with injuries at approximately 6:15 p.m. Saturday evening. The 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 1520 feet down onto N.E. 132nd Street, according to Kirkland police officials. One of the brothers was then struck by a passing vehicle in the westbound lane. The 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 parkand-ride lot. Kirkland Police Traffic Investigation Unit was on the scene and N.E. 132nd was closed for several hours while the investigation continued.

POTALA VILLAGE LETTERS
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. The current proposal is for 143 tiny, 698 square foot average, apartments on a 1.2 acre lot. The 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 “affordable,” 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. They will apparently vote on the matter at the council meeting on Oct. 2. The 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 The 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 anything like this to be built on that property.” Nearly a year ago, the council punted the Potala mess to the Planning Commission for a recommendation. That 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. The 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.” This council lacks the courage to do the heavy

rent council to fail to do theirs. I myself believe that anything over 12 units per acre (the density limit in the Kirkland Comprehensive Plan) is wrong. But after a year and a half, dozens 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 “fits where it sits.” This project is just wrong. Potala as proposed will be a wart on the otherwise beautiful face of Kirkland. The 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.

lifting 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? They’ve punted twice thus far, first 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-
Was an opportunity for $1 million kissed away? Approximately two years ago the Comprehensive Plan was modified to incentivize residential development downtown by allowing a reduction in parking stalls. There 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: The 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 fulfill the obligation: provide public parking elsewhere downtown or contribute to a fund, $20,000 per stall. The city then supplies public parking, also known as fee-in-lieu. C) Attention: Recently new
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 unemployed 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 KIRKLAND is going to be a one term proposition.” So be it.
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 feein-lieu. A development of 100 units would be relieved of $1,000,000 towards public parking! D) Doesn’t this just shift 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: citycouncil@kirklandwa.gov
Karen Levenson, Kirkland
Villeneuve missed the point
OPINION
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 Reinvestment act was supposedly a guarantee to keep unemployment under 8 percent.

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 after admitting to taking medication and drinking wine, weaving across
the center line causing a head-on crash with another vehicle resulting in the death of one passenger and severe injuries to others. Then, 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 egregious 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 flagrantly irresponsible behavior? But doesn’t caving to her wish to shield herself simply increase her level of irresponsibility - 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 understand 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 abdication 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.

City Council’s vote on Density Cap
opinion
Citizens can show that a legal case can be made for holding the project properties to the City’s own 12 units/acre restriction. But as a significant compromise, 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 accept the recommendation from the Planning Commissioners 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 tactics may soon be drawing to a close. Lobsang Dargey may get to add a second apartment complex to his thin portfolio (joining the one apartment building he put up in Everett). While still large, 36 units/acre is significantly less harmful to the environment, pedestrian 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 commission 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 underground with 316 parking spots. It will have one
driveway onto Lake Street. Over 800 people have signed a petition opposing 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 zoning certainly smacks of “enlightened self interest.” Perhaps the rest “be damned” applies here.

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 first time on the U-19 girls division, coached by Chris Forsberg or “Fozz” and Lisa Niemann, and according to Forsberg she “did pretty well.” The 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. “The team worked together well, we worked hard. It was awesome playing with people at such a high level.”

Julianna Werffeli’s passion 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 first place this August at the USA Ultimate Youth Club Championships after his victory last year. “I love it,” Julianna Werffeli said. “I definitely 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. The two have been in-

or the second week in a row, the Lake Washington High football team eclipsed the 50-point mark in a convincing nonleague win, this time beating Cedarcrest 58-32. Running back Daniel Porras ran wild for the Kangs, scoring four times in the first half on rushes of 21, 70, 7 and 9 yards. The Wolves scored in the third quarter to make it 37-20, but that’s as close as they got as Kangs’ quarterback Shawn Gray put his rushing game on display in the fourth

LaMarche says corporations or PACs are able to “buy off ” 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 contributing 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. Then public funds could kick in after that within a budget, it would be a lot more fair. Kirkland residents are invited to weigh in on the meeting.

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 resolution 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 LaMarche, member of Move to Amend. The anti-‘Citizens United’ grassroots group, originally called “Citizens for Responsible Government,” is comprised of LaMarche, Andrea McBeth, Geoff Stevenson and Sally Mackle all of Kirkland. The 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 individually with members of the council in August and
were “received well.” Move to Amend connects small local groups and state-wide organizations together with hopes to eventually change the ruling in Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission. In 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United, which defined corporations as “people.” LaMarche says this resulted in giving corporations all the Constitutional protections that an individual has but without restraints. “There’s very little chance that a normal person, even a wealthy normal person, has a chance to compete in terms of influence 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. Their main goal is to connect Washington so that they could form a state chapter.

But to her dismay he had died shortly after Sept. 11, 2001 from an illness. Cragar stopped looking for more but Debbie continued. She found an obituary of Cragar’s brother on her father’s side. The names of her remaining brothers and sisters were listed. After some time and hesitation Cragar finally called her brother, also George Wind. She confirmed his identity, asked if he knew about his father’s previous marriage and child. “I just lost it. I said ‘You

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

mother followed but it was too late, he had already reenlisted. Cragar’s grandparents thought it best to raise her as their own. “My real name was on my birth certificate but I never used it,” Cragar said. Cragar grew up with a different 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 different but Wind and his family knew her as “Madeline Marie” instead of “Marie Madeline.” He also thought she was living in Seattle, when in actuality she had moved from Tucson to Sacramento, Calif., according to Cragar’s brothers and sisters. Then this past February Cragar got a phone call. Her 12-year-old grandson Christopher needed some family history. Cragar was able to provide information 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 everything?’” she said. Cragar and her daughter Debbie began to unravel the family tree. They used ancestry.com and sifted through the Internet. They
know about me?’ and he said ‘Hon, we’ve been looking for you for years. Dad wanted to find you so much,’” Cragar said. Wind told her to call her sister, Cindy Bell. Through many tears, talking and revelations with many members of her family, Cragar made the trip to Norfolk, Va. to finally 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
