Lake Street Place project moves ahead BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
After Kirkland residents appealed the Design Review Board’s decision to approve Stuart McLeod’s Lake Street Place development, the city’s Hearing Examiner affirmed the boards’ decision to allow the developer to move forward with the five-story office, retail and parking structure. The city of Kirkland Hearing Examiner made the decision April 10, knocking down at least nine concerns made in the appeal. After the Design Review Board approved the project last January, two Merrill Garden residents and four Portsmith Condominium owners appealed the decision in February, stating the structure is out of scale with the neighborhood and would increase traffic hazards. But the residents, who have formed Kirkland Neighbors United, are not giving up. “We’re disappointed, not necessarily surprised, but we’ll move on and keep trying to make sure downtown Kirkland looks and remains the same character as intended,” said Portsmith resident Sandi Hart. Appellants Ellen Glauert, Barbara Flagg of Merrill Gardens, Lisa and Brian Rohrback, and Hart and Stan Christie of Portsmith Condominiums are six of the approximate 80 members of Kirkland Neighbors United. Rick Chesmore with Chesmore/Buck Architecture, architect of the development, said he is also unsurprised by the Hearing Examiner’s decision, and has already begun to move forward with a nearly complete traffic study for State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review. “The items did not relate well to the Design Review Board’s decision authority,” Chesmore said. “They don’t [ more PROJECT page 5 ]

ith the inkling of a Super Bowl win this season, 34 women were chosen for the 2013 Sea Gals NFL cheerleading squad. Sea Gals director Sherri Thompson narrowed down the 170 auditions to 62 semi-finalists before choosing the 34 posi-
tions during finals held on Sunday. Three returning Sea Gals from Kirkland share their excitement. The Reporter withheld their last names due to the Seahawks’ privacy policy.
Courtney, 27 Kirkland resident Courtney will embark on her sixth
year as a Seahawks NFL Cheerleader. Courtney was added to the group after Sunday’s finals wrapped up a month-long process. “I am so excited for this year’s football team,” she said. “We played so well last year, and based on that, and everything that’s in store, I hope we will make it all the way to the Super Bowl.” The California native has
been dancing since she was 4 years old and has stretched her skills to tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop, contemporary and ballroom. After Courtney’s dancing ended at the University of California at Santa Barbara when she graduated, she decided to take a leap and tryout for the Sea Gals at 22 years old. She had one year to make it as a dancer, said her father. But
she soon went on to win a spot on the team. “The year I decided to audition, I came to Kirkland for Easter and stayed at the Woodmark Hotel,” Courtney said, adding that her mother was from Seattle. “I had never been to Kirkland before.

began in the 1650s and is mainly popular in Europe. The process of mezzotint is tedious and time-consuming. Using tools such as a rocker and scraper, DeWald II engraves realist images into a metal plate. With patience and determination, he believes that any image can be created using the mezzotint form of printmaking. After doing this event for a few years, DeWald II is looking forward to interacting with the community. “I hang up my prints and talk to people about how exciting printmaking can be,” he says. Bennett, Moore and DeWald II all agree the open studio concept is a different way to experience the artwork and witness the artists’ process. Moore notes that one feels the energy of the environment when watching the different artists demoing their methods. “Everybody’s studios are so different, but it’s really an intimate feeling to be in someone’s working space,” Bennett said.

Were Kirkland police hungry for revenue? As a long time Kirkland resident, I drive east on 128th Street frequently for appointments and errands. The sign is still there, clearly visible, “NO RIGHT turn on red.” Now, drivers angrily honk at those of us who stop. Where are Kirkland’s police cruisers now? When the sign was first placed there, many motorists received costly tickets, like mine, for $150. Police would regularly follow several cars at a time down the hill and pull them into Trader Joe’s parking lot to write up tickets. There had been no warning to alert the public that a longstanding rule for right hand turns had changed at that corner. The sign was barely visible in the rain and dark at 4 p.m. a few days before New Years. I checked to make sure crosswalks were clear as well as traffic merging was manageable before making what had previously been a legal right hand turn. I not only received a $150 ticket, but now have increased auto insurance cost. Were Kirkland police just “hungry” for revenue, and now they’re not? Could the public have been given a warning citation or have been alerted by a more visible flashing sign? Or, should I just wish that some other poor driver could be snagged and given a hefty fine so Kirkland police could make a great quota of revenue gathered?

Former Councilman Sternoff ’s behavior no surprise Thank you for your recent article exposing former Kirkland Councilman Bob Sternoff ’s alleged unethical behavior. This comes as no surprise to us. As senior citizens, we were in our 70’s at the time, Sternoff gained our trust and confidence and we decided to have him build a home for us, a decision we have regretted every day since. Sternoff, we believe is part of the reason we have been through a very stressful four to five years. The stress has contributed to health problems. We believe Sternoff overcharged us on the home and this is part of the reason we have had to hire an attorney to keep us out of foreclosure. Sternoff quoted us $700,000 for our home but it ended up costing us $1 million. We believe we were one of the “Peters” Sternoff used to pay “Paul.”

Personal knowledge of Totem Lake Park Thanks for the prodding regarding the Reporter’s recent story on planning for the Totem Lake Park. I’ll be walking parts in the near future. I remember watching the contractor building the elevated sections. My personal knowledge is the corner between the pawn shop and my once-a-week restaurant. It is my belief that the lake level control structure is close to I-5, west of the vast parking lot.

rule on traffic or safety concerns.” As far as size and proximity of the project, Chesmore said the structure is within city zoning and design guidelines. Rohrback, who is president of Kirkland Neighbors United, said the group is not against development, but is against the “unprecedented” proposed office building on Lake Street. “Stuart should be able to develop on his property but it should fit within the constraints of the neighborhood,” he said. Rohrback and the other Portsmith residents have been working with attorney J. Richard Aramburu, while Merrill Gardens residents are represented by another attorney, Brent Carson. Rohrback said they will most likely wait until the SEPA review process is complete and city staff have delivered a report before they submit their ideas in regard to traffic and safety. “Can we consider having an entrance on Lake Street? At least it’d be away from the senior citizens,” Rohrback said, adding that the project would triple traffic near Merrill Gardens. “The only other mitigation is to scale back the building so it doesn’t have as much of a traffic impact.” But Chesmore said the traffic impact will be minimal and their traffic concurrency review was approved, which ensures that water, sewer and the adopted level of service for traffic are “concurrent” with what is needed for the new development. Chesmore added this version of McLeod’s Lake Street Place structure is vastly different from his 2008 proposal, which was also approved by the Design Review Board, appealed by Portsmith residents and affirmed by the Hearing Examiner five years ago. “[The 2008 proposal] was more than twice the size of this project,” Chesmore said, contrasting the initial 522 stall parking garage versus the current 252 stall parking garage. “As a result, we’re going to have less traffic and a lot less of a safety concern.” But at least eight concerned Kirklanders have written to the Reporter throughout the past few months, expressing fear or contempt about the development. “The emissions and increased traffic would be
hazardous to our health and safety, not to mention fire trucks and ambulances that service the elderly being able to park and turn around and leave,” said 87-year-old Flagg. “Shame on you Stuart McLeod. Don’t let this happen and spoil downtown Kirkland and endanger Kirkland residents.” Nevertheless, president of the Portsmith Homeowners Association Barbara Alban said the association has worked with McLeod to find ways
to make it better for both perspectives. She said residents’ concerns such as rooftop parking, setbacks, and landscaping have been addressed. “The Portsmith building is not a small structure itself and we recognize that there will be other large structures if the zoning permits,” Alban said. “We want to protect our values and we also want to be good neighbors to all of the property surrounding us.”
McLeod and Chesmore are in the process of going through design review for a phased approach, which will analyze building one 13,958-square-feet section above the Kirkland Waterfront Market. They plan to build the other larger structure at a later date. “As of right now, the best case scenario is if it could all be built at one time,” said Chesmore, but added that financing and preleasing issues have resulted in some limitations. According to Chesmore,
McLeod plans to submit the SEPA application this week and eventually hopes to apply for the building permit sometime this year. The intent is to start the phase one project closer to the winter months, Chesmore said, so the patio areas can stay open in the summer. Jon Regala, the city’s senior planner, said once the SEPA application is submitted, the city will send out notices for early environmental feedback, and will allow questions
or comments from nearby residents. After a decision is made, the city will send another notice and residents will have two weeks to appeal the environmental review, said Regala. The next Design Review Board meeting for the Lake Street Place’s phase one project is at 7 p.m. on May 6. in the Kirkland City Hall council chambers.

Use of pesticides continues to make foods unsafe A and Drug Administration (FDA). Even after washing, more than two thirds of the tens of thousands of food samples tested by the agencies showed pesticide residues. The most contaminated fruits were apples, strawberries, grapes, peaches and imported nectarines. Among vegetables, the most contaminated were celery, spinach, sweet bell peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, cherry tomatoes and hot peppers. The contamination levels varied significantly between different foods. Potatoes had a higher total weight of pesticides than any other food crop. A Timi Gustafson

n apple a day used to keep the doctor away, at least according to folk wisdom. But not any more – unless it’s organically grown. Apples top the list of foods contaminated with pesticides, says the Environmental Working Group (EWG), an environmental health research and advocacy organization, in its annual report called “The Dirty Dozen™.” The listing of foods that may have toxic levels of pesticides is part of the group’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticide in Produce, which draws its data from tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food
single grape tested for 15 different pesticides. So did sweet bell peppers. Corn, which is widely used as an ingredient in processed foods, does not appear in the EWG’s guide because as such it’s no longer considered a fresh vegetable. Neither is soy. Still, concern over pesticide contamination should also include processed items. In addition to its notorious “Dirty Dozen™” rating, the EWG also publishes a list of the least contaminated foods, called the “Clean Fifteen™.” These show the lowest levels of pesticide residues and are generally safe for consumption. They include pineapple, papaya, mango, kiwi, cantaloupe, grapefruit, corn, onion,
avocado, frozen sweet peas, cabbage, asparagus, eggplant, sweet potatoes and mushrooms. Pesticides have long been linked to a number of health concerns, particularly to developmental problems in young children. Some pesticides have been found to be carcinogenic, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). There are currently about 350 different pesticides registered with the government and permitted for use on food crops. Among the most toxic ones are organophosphate, a potent neurotoxin that can adversely affect brain development in children, even at low doses; and organochlorine, a once widely used pesticide that

who needs help with the kids – anything from just time off for the parent, to help with homework, guidance and counsel. I could go on. There is the new neighbor, you know, the family that just moved in. They need to be welcomed, shown where the parks are, where the best grocery stores are, given information about the schools, churches etc. A batch of cookies goes well here as well. There are also lots of families in the neighborhood where talents can be exchanged, helping each other. Let me give you an example: Our neighborhood became CERT certified (Community Emer-
gency Response Teams) a few years back. We are able to take care of ourselves for a period of time if professional help is not available through public services. As part of this project, we did a “Map Your Neighborhood” exercise wherein each family designated the location of their gas and water shutoff valves and other important details about their homes so that other neighbors could help in case of an emergency. But a really neat part of our exercise was that each homeowner listed both resources and skills/ talents that each family has. For instance, skills included: first aid, child care, carpentry, elder
care, search and rescue, crisis counseling, electrical, plumbing, firefighting, coordination and organizing, etc. Resources included: first aid supplies, fire extinguishers, tents/beddings, chain saws, generators, camp stoves, walkie talkies, ladders, coordinating and organizing. One of the outcomes of the above is one neighbor helping another on decks (carpentry), sharing childcare duties, car pools for both kids and the elderly, another group that does the grocery shopping for an invalid neighbor. We’ve built neighborhood mailbox stands, built in conjunction with numerous other volunteers a very large play field, shared output from a variety of vegetable gardens, and I again
could go on. So volunteering doesn’t have to be just to organizations, although they need you badly. For this edition of the column think about talking to your neighbor about how you could help and are willing to do so, or that you are interested in sharing some duties required by both. By the same token, don’t be afraid to share your needs and wants with your neighbors – very likely they are interested in your welfare as well. Lastly consider a neighborhood project as a whole – something that would benefit the entire neighborhood – landscaping, a play area, painting addresses on the curbs, repairing or replacing community resources like mailbox stands. Heck, in our neighborhood, we even share tools with each other. This way we all don’t have to have generators, chainsaws, snow

The 21st annual event brings together the National Association of Letter Carriers and Feeding America affiliates across the nation. In Kirkland and the rest of King County, local letter carriers will drop off Stamp Out Hunger bags in advance at some 750,000 households. Residents will then be asked to fill the bags with

Last year, more than 260 tons of food was collected in King County – that’s over 525,000 pounds and the equivalent of 1.5 million meals for hungry people, says Food Lifeline CEO Linda Nageotte.

Many of these organizations are funded by donations as well as by grants, etc. This article is different! I’d like to present a brand new, old, idea. Let’s volunteer within our neighborhoods. There are those in our neighborhoods that need us, need our skills, talents, resources, labor, insight, counsel and friendship. There are the elderly, the infirm – those are obvious.

For example, green beans used for baby food tested positive for five pesticides, including organophosphate, and pears showed more than twice as many. While there is only so much consumers can do to protect themselves and their loved ones against the exposure to pesticides and other toxins in their food supply, it is important to have the information available that allows for better-informed choices.

Police presence at Watershed Park frightens neighbors, rumors fly BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
H
oughton’s 73-acre Watershed Park is heavily wooded, but on April 17 at noon, the area had a heavy police presence and residents couldn’t figure out why. One concerned neighbor said there were up to nine police cars, noting that other neighbors were now frightened to go into the park. Neighbors heard ru-
mors that there was gun activity in the usually quiet residential area. But according to Kirkland Police Department officer Audra Weber, this was a case of a man trying to do the right thing. Around noon that day, an area resident was reportedly hiking at Watershed Park when he came across four Emerson High School students who were allegedly smoking what the man thought was marijuana, Weber said.
The hiker started filming the teenagers with his phone but they got upset and surrounded him. “He was afraid, he was by himself,” Weber said. “He had a gun on him he was cleared to carry, and he displayed the gun to them. Then they backed off.” Weber said the man did not commit any crime in displaying his weapon and he was simply a neighbor in the area who was trying to be proactive.
The students went back to school and the incident was reported, she said. No arrests or charges have been made although Kirkland police are still investigating the case. For more information, contact the Kirkland Police Department at (425) 587-3400. If you have additional information, email letters@kirklandreporter. com.

Open houses benefit buyers and sellers (NAPSI)—The next time you’re thinking about buying or selling a house, you might want to open your mind to the benefits of an open house.
What buyers should do Buyers should make the most of each open house they visit and remember to keep an open mind. Here are some tips for visiting open houses: • Check everything in the house including appliances, the size of closets, storage areas and the
views from the windows. • Walk around the property and check such things as the brick and mortar and siding. • Drive around the neighborhood and get a feel for the area. • Talk to the realtor hosting the open house and pick his or her brain about the condition of the home, recent upgrades and the neighborhood.
What sellers should do As a seller, an open house is about putting [ more HOUSE page 9 ]

House fire causes ‘total loss’ BY RAECHEL DAWSON
rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Kirkland firefighters rushed to the scene of a two story house fire in the Evergreen Hill neighborhood April 24. No injuries were reported, but Kirkland Fire Department Battalion Chief Joe Sanford said the fire damage amounted to a “total loss” of the single family
home, located in the 14200 block of 128th Ave. N.E. “It looks like the neighbor reported smelling smoke 20 minutes before the call was made [at 9:30 p.m.], so the fire had a pretty good head start,” Sanford said, noting it appeared the fire started at the back of the house. A male occupant of the home was able to get T:4.8” out, but at the time of the
fire, investigators said the resident’s dog was missing and feared to still be inside. Sanford said an update on the status of the dog wasn’t yet available. “This was a serious fire,” Sanford said. Sixteen firefighter units from Kirkland, Woodinville, Bothell and Redmond responded. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

ast month I shared with you some of the drug trends in our local neighborhoods. As alarming as drug and alcohol use may be, there are other issues plaguing our kids. Chief among them are stress and depression. Stress comes from a lifestyle of always being connected, problems at school, over-achieving expectations from parents, and a rigorous academic load. The important thing is for kids to learn ways to destress with music, exercise and down time. Depression is also a major issue among kids today and likely at the root of the increases in teen suicides seen in the area over the past year. In the Healthy Youth Survey, taken by students in all public schools across the state, 23 percent of local 8th, 10th and 12th graders have felt depressed in the past year. It’s most alarming that 14 percent seriously contemplated suicide. The best thing for kids who are depressed is professional help. Adolescence is a time when the brain is growing and changing, and it’s often the time that mental health issues begin to emerge. One in every five young people suffers from mental health issues at

of social isolation, other times it may be physical or verbal. And sometimes it occurs in texts or via social media sites. Kids who are bullied don’t enjoy school, and many suffer with the effects of bullying well into adulthood. Parents should check in with their children and ask specifically about bullying. Do they know at least one adult at their school they could talk to if they or a friend was being bullied? If not, help them consider who that might be. Also advise children to avoid bullies and try to stick with a friend at recess, on the bus, or when walking home. And encourage them to stick up for others who are being bullied.

Problem-based learning is a form of instruction that is student-centered,
in which students learn about a subject through the experience of problem solving. “These programs enable students to link current courses to post-secondary plans and potential career interest areas,” noted Pierce. “We will work with community partners to enable students to explore career options and get hands-on experience.” Funding for launching the signature programs has been provided by the Lake Washington Schools Foundation, Microsoft and Waste Management. “We are grateful for the community support that will make these new programs available,” noted Pierce.

about membership. It can be found on facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/ aauwkrbranch.
Sandburg students place ninth
The Lake Washington School District’s Literacy Adoption Committee reached agreement April 18 on its recommendation for a new literacy curriculum for preschool through grade 6. The district Instructional Materials Committee (IMC) will review this recommendation. If approved by the IMC, these recommendations will go to the school board for presentation on May 20 and board action on June 3. The recommendations are: • Preschool: Opening the World of Learning (OWL), Pearson, copyright 2011 • Grades K-5: Reading Wonders Common Core Edition, McGraw-Hill, copyright 2014 • Grade 6: Prentice-Hill Literature Common Core
Students in Jennifer Via’s second grade class at Sandburg Elementary placed ninth on the World Math Day Hall of Fame for their age group and completed 19,963 correct problems on the annual global online challenge on March 6. World Math Day is an annual global online challenge where students compete against one another in real time. During the official World Math Day, students are limited to 10 challenges at each level, for a total of 50 challenges. Students in Via’s class competed in the Junior Primary/Elementary category. Each student has a special certificate for participating. The class will receive a trophy for placing in the top 10.
Edition, Pearson, copyright 2012 The 48 member K-6 Literacy Adopt Committee consisted of representatives of schools and district programs. Program representation included preschool, English Language Learner, general education, Safety Net, Special Education, and Gifted education. Six elementary school principals served on the committee. The committee has been working since fall of 2011 to determine their recommendations for literacy curriculum. The committee had narrowed down the curricula under consideration to three, which were piloted this spring. Three parent informational meetings gathered feedback along with comments from
the public display of the materials. The committee reviewed their identified priorities for the curricula, including alignment with standards. The recommended programs are on display in the LWSD Resource Center. The IMC will determine its recommendation to the school board at its May 2 meeting, after Reporter deadline. In making its decision, the committee also made several recommendations to ensure a successful implementation of this new curriculum if it is approved by the IMC and subsequently the school board. Plans for professional development are in process, including an opportunity for teachers to receive teacher materials in June prior to summer vacation.
