Anonymous donor, firefighters rescue Halloween tradition BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland family’s front lawn Halloween maze, that has haunted trick-or-treaters in the Juanita neighborhood for 15 years, might have been permanently scared off by city ordinances if it wasn’t for one gener-

ous person and Kirkland firefighters. David Morris, a Kirkland resident since 1980, said the haunted maze his family constructs on their front lawn on the 11000 block of 108th Ave NE every Halloween has become a neighborhood tradition. However, city code enforcement officers told him that

the maze violates several sections of the municipal code. “Halloween is really great fun,” he said. “I decided to do something to create a memory for kids. That’s all it is. Over the years, it’s kind of taken on a life of its own, and it’s gotten bigger and bigger.” City of Kirkland Com-

munications Manager Marie Jensen released a statement late Friday afternoon stating that the city had confirmed that a rental tent would be delivered to the Halloween House in Kirkland on Monday, when KFD firefighters from IAFF Local 2545 were on site to help set it up. [ more MAZE page 6 ]

Voters Pamphlet correction for Prop. 1

Man shot by police tried to give away child

REPORTER STAFF

King County has issued several corrections to its voters’ pamphlet, two concerning Kirkland issues. Initial pamphlets for Kirkland voters in Lake Washington School District No. 414 were missing two components— information on city of Kirkland Proposition No. 1, Formation of Kirkland Aquatics and Recreation District, and a Director District No. 1 candidate photo for Lake Washington School District No. 414. “We regret our publishing error and remind voters they can get all of their voter information online as well,” said King County Elections Director Sherril Huff. The pro-statement for Proposition 1 stated that the MPD would require “voter approval of any major expenditures.” This statement has since been removed by King County on its election website as it is false. Kirkland City Attorney Robin Jenkinson stated that the citizen advisory vote would not be legally binding on the MPD or the MPD board’s decisions. The members of the MPD would have final say on tax increases pertaining to the district.

Kirkland woman takes first in prestigious national regatta BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland resident Janice Stone has earned her third gold medal at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston. Stone took first in the Senior Women’s Veterans II age group for women single scullers of ages 75-79 with a time of 26 minutes, 10 seconds. The

Head of the Charles is the largest two-day regatta in the world. About 11,000 athletes compete in over 1,900 boats in 61 events, and the event attracts around 300,000 spectators during the weekend. Stone, who began rowing in 1995 after retiring, previously took the gold in 2010, where she also set the course record, as well as 2011. This year

marks her 15th single rowing race, having competed in the women’s 4s and 8s several times until rowing singles exclusively in 2000.

Although she raced in her respective age group, Stone said the actual race itself featured women from five age categories, [ more STONE page 3 ]

King County Medical Examiner identifies victim as Robert Burgess, Jr. BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

The name of the man shot by a Kirkland police officer has been released, along with more details concerning the initial cause for the police response. Robert Burgess, Jr., 35, was killed by a gunshot wound to the head according to the King County Medical Examiner. His residence is not known. The Reporter has also learned that Burgess apparently was attempting to give away a three-year-old boy, presumed to be his son, when police were contacted by local residents. According to Kirkland Police Department spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray, Burgess asked several women to take the child. However, the boy was not present when Burgess was shot and he was recovered by officers after their initial encounter with Burgess in which the man fled and later attempted several failed armed carjackings. The child was not hurt, [ more SHOOTING page 5 ]

Kirkland Family Dentistry’s mission is to provide the Kirkland community with the highest quality of dental care at the most reasonable price. They do so by honoring almost all available insurance plans and working with patients’ insurance companies to maximize their dental benefits. According to Dr. Greene, “we are commonly able to work with the insurance companies so that they cover many of the preventive procedures at 100%, leaving no cost to the patient.” Both doctors try to do only necessary treatment so that patients Dr. Jonathan Everett do not go over their annual allowable insurance benefit.

all over 60, with their starting positions based on their previous year’s ranking. “I was the first in my group, which was the senior veterans age 75-79,” she said, “but I was preceded by a few people faster than me and many people younger than I, who were still starting after me. The ones starting right after me had been very close to me in time, so I was very worried about those people. Even though I wasn’t racing them, I was working very hard to stay out in front of them, and I had to work to do that. But I did succeed in staying in front of all of them. They were inspiring me to keep going forward.”

The Head of the Charles is particularly well known for its difficult course, in which rowers are penalized if they fail to make the proper turns around buoys. Additionally, for single rowers facing backwards, there is no coxswain to help navigate. On top of that, Stone said, there was also headwind that made navigating tricky, but still manageable. Although she’s pleased with securing first place, Stone said the greater achievement was racing the way she had prepared and doing so according to plan based on her training. “I think actually it’s even more important to have a plan and to carry it out well

and feel that I didn’t make any big mistakes,” she said. “If there’s somebody faster than I am, then so be it, but there is a great satisfaction in being ready and carrying out the race the way you had it planned.” Another satisfaction is being able to train and compete without sustaining injuries that could threaten her ability to row in the future. “There’s a sense which I’m always concerned about whether I’ll be able to maintain my strength, whether I’ll be able to stay healthy, to train enough to be ready,” she said. “I usually don’t feel ready, but this year I did, surprisingly enough, feel really ready. I was looking forward

GUEST EDITORIAL

Kirkland Rep. Stanford could run for auditor

Jerry Cornfield

t seems pretty obvious Washington’s next state auditor won’t be the current one, Troy X. Kelley. But then who might it be? Only one candidate has stepped forward, Republican state Sen. Mark Miloscia of Federal Way. It wasn’t a shock. In fact, it’s overdue as Miloscia began recruiting himself when the political career of Kelley nose-dived earlier this year in a hailstorm of criminal charges. Ever since federal agents searched Kelley’s Tacoma home in March then accused the first-term Democrat of a slew of white collar crimes like tax evasion and money laundering, Miloscia has appeared driven to steer him out of office and position himself to become his successor. Miloscia was one of the first soloists in a chorus of political leaders calling on Kelley to resign. And he’s used his position as chairman of the Senate Accountability and Reform Committee to keep the auditor’s alleged exploits in full view of the public. Miloscia organized an April 1 hearing – no joke – and invited Kelley to testify. Kelley blew him off and Miloscia lamented about the damage to public confidence in the auditor’s office caused by the embattled auditor’s behavior. It’s not personal. Miloscia is a by-the-rules guy. Throughout his tenure in the state House and now Senate he’s been a stickler for measuring the performance of government and embracing the need to make it efficient and effective. It’s not partisan. In 2012, Miloscia ran for state auditor as a Democrat and lost, badly. He finished fourth in the four-person primary. He watched Kelley advance to the general election and defeat Republican James Watkins. This time the dynamics will be quite different. He enlisted in the Republican Party in 2014 and

won his Senate seat. Miloscia stands to be the best known and maybe only GOP hopeful in the field in 2016. On the Democratic side, the picture is far less clear. The party had three candidates in the 2012 primary and none right now. One name getting tossed around is Rep. Derek Stanford, D-Bothell, who also represents residents in north Kirkland from the 1st District. “I’m looking at it but it’s too early to make a decision,” he said. Stanford seems well-suited for the job that requires fact-checking the financial record-keeping of other public officials and not humiliating those whose errors you uncover. He’s easy-going and blessed with a blend of numeric knowledge and legislative nerdism. He’s got a master’s in mathematics, a PhD in statistics and is vice-chairman of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee which examines the inner-

workings of government bureaucracy. Stanford is also vice-chairman of the House Capital Budget Committee which is in transition. It needs a chairman since longtime leader, Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, is now at the helm of the House Appropriations Committee. If Stanford is offered the post, it probably dashes any chance of his running. The leader of the state Democratic Party isn’t worrying about the lack of candidate yet. “We’re looking at the race,” said Jaxon Ravens, chairman of the state Democratic Party. “We take all statewide races seriously and we will have a serious contender for this race.” It should be obvious it won’t be Kelley.

With this morning’s news that Judge Robart has put Lobsang Dargey and his companies into receivership, the likelihood of sale of the 10th Avenue South and Lake Street South properties may have just increased. This could be a great opportunity for a wonderfully neighborly developer. This is a beautiful piece of property zoned for Residential Market – Neighborhood Business. The area boasts well designed single family homes and low to medium density condominiums with a couple low to medium density apartments (5-18 units/acre). Setbacks from the sidewalk are generous and usually have lush landscaping, sculptures and fountains that add to the inviting and walkable main boulevard along the western shore of Lake Washington. Mature trees are generally kept in place and built around. These properties have a 30-foot-height limit ABE so a third story could be built and would likely have some beautiful lake views. Just think of the wonderful possibilities the properties would offer to a developer truly attempting to build something that ADDS to the current character of the neighborhood. Mr. Dargey’s development of this property has been contentious for more than four years. There has been a steadfast group of about 800 citizens banding together, showing up to meetings in large numbers and pooling money for attorneys. All this as a result of the developer’s attempts to miscon-

strue and change zoning and insert a much too big development into a site that was to be for “very small building or mixed use center” with neighborhood serving business(es) and some sort of neighborhood gathering attributes. There was more than the “normal” citizen outcry here. This was not the run of the mill objection with some citizens showing up for a meeting or two and then disappearing. In fact, the zoning abuses were considered so egregious that the 800 participants rotated their attendance and were still showing up in groups of about 50 at each City Council or Design Review Meeting fifty-two (52) months later. They have worn matching “red shirts” to approximately 70 meetings to date. Should the current developer, or some other developer, persist in trying to build a misplaced development on this site, my guess is that the persistent “red shirts” will remain. We hope instead to attract a developer with a beautiful neighborhood compatible vision, compatible in size, scale and character. If you are that developer, your neighbors await with open arms.

Testicular discrimination I live in Bellevue but often take our dog to Jasper’s Dog Park [in Kirkland] before making the weekly Costco run. As the owner of a healthy, obedient, licensed and inoculated pooch, I like to think of myself as a responsible dog owner. However, my sanctimonious bubble was burst on our last trip to Jasper’s when someone pointed at my dog’s genitals

and snarled, “He can’t stay. It’s the rule.” Embarrassed with my unwitting infraction, I complied immediately, apologized and exited the park with my dog and his prodigious testicles. I get it, without human intervention, domestic animals reproduce ad infinitum, but that does not mean dogs who remain in their natural state should be viewed as pariahs. As spaying/neutering in the U.S. reaches near universal compliance, the unneutered have become targets for exclusion and discrimination by those who irrationally perceive the intact dog as an anathema. Animal health issues aside, there is actually no credible evidence that castrating dogs actually makes them more docile or obedient, even the ASPCA says, “...studies have found no significant relationship between aggression and neutering.” With nearly 90 percent of dogs in America neutered, are we to assume that the majority of dog fights at the park are among the unneutered? Conversely, in Norway it is illegal to de-sex a dog, are we to assume that they are overrun by hormonal Cujos? Castigating the uncastrated is not a sensible method of ensuring dog harmony, neutering does not ensure an obedient or gentle dog, but socialization with other dogs does. I encourage Jasper’s Dog Park to take a more inclusive stance and reconsider an irrational “rule” that does nothing to improve the dog park experience, it only serves to placate those who humanize dogs and propagate castration myths.

BRIEFS

Federal agency dismisses complaint against Energize Eastside project The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has dismissed the complaint filed by three local residents and two neighborhood opposition groups against Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside project. The ruling reaffirms that PSE complied with federal rules and the transmission planning responsibilities in planning the project. “Contrary to Complainants’ vague allegations that the Respondents have violated [Federal transmission planning regulations], the record before us shows that [PSE] and the other Respondents have complied with the applicable transmission planning requirements,” states FERC. The Energize Eastside project – which will build a new electric substation and higher capacity transmission lines to serve homes and businesses on the Eastside -- is essential to meet the growing electric needs of homes and businesses in Eastside neighborhoods. The line, which is the backbone of the existing local transmission system, had its last major upgrade in the 1960s. “The complainants erroneously asserted the Energize Eastside project primarily benefits the larger, regional transmission system,” said Dan Koch, director of engineering and major projects at PSE. “In fact, Energize Eastside is needed to solve local de-

alarm calls, six burglaries, 11 civil incidents, seven animal calls, 12 incidents of domestic violence, 16 disturbances, four assaults, and 25 incidents involving at least one arrest.

Oct. 18 Warrant: 9:30 p.m., 12200 block of NE 116th St. Officers were called to the Baymont Hotel after there were reports of a 28-year-old woman Dumpster diving. They discovered she had an outstanding warrant out of Bellevue and was

livery capacity issues because of so much growth. Independent studies, along with our own, have confirmed that. And now, so has FERC.” FERC further states the Energize Eastside project “was designed to address [PSE’s] projected inability to serve its own customers,” and confirmed that PSE “has demonstrated that its needs assessments identified a transmission capacity deficiency.” In addition to PSE, the Bonneville Power Administration, Seattle City Light and ColumbiaGrid were also listed in the complaint. The claims against BPA, Seattle City Light and ColumbiaGrid were also dismissed.

area between a building or other structure and the street or road, something which is also prohibited by city code. “The City recognizes that the homeowner’s long-standing Halloween tradition is appreciated by those who visit it but it is the City’s responsibility to ensure structures to be used by the public are safe for occupancy,” she wrote. Morris said after meeting with city officials, he was offered several alternative options that would have the maze conform to code. One would be to reduce the 400-square-foot maze to less than 200, which would not require a permit. However, Morris would also have to use fire retardant material for the maze’s covering, which would still require a city evaluation, according to Jensen.

Jensen wrote in an email that the building official determined “the structure is unsafe because it is not structurally stable and it is covered with a flammable tarp.

The Providence Classical Christian School boys soccer team from Kirkland earned its 11th win of the season on Thursday afternoon, 5-0, against the Shoreline Christian Crusaders. Providence dominated possession of the ball, allowing just one shot-ongoal. Three different players combined to find the back of the net for the Highlanders, including freshman Bradley Johnson, who logged a career-high two goals. Junior, and captain of the team, Joe Moisant continued to shine, adding two more goals to his league-leading tally. Senior Michael Walsh tapped in the final goal for the Highlanders off of a cross-field pass from sophomore Dane Kowalick. Monday’s match is a crucial one for the Highlanders as it will determine their position going into the TriDistrict tournament, which begins on Saturday. Providence will face Orcas Island High School.

City Council approves two critical resolutions for new fire plan tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

he Kirkland City Council approved two resolutions concerning their plans for a new fire station, one of which in order to avoid having to sell off Station 25 as stipulated under their interlocal agreement (ILA) with King County Fire District 41. The first resolution clarifies what the city considers to be the original intent of the ILA in order to rectify their new plan for improving fire service with certain stipulations in the ILA between the city with the district following the 2011 annexation of Finn Hill, Juanita and Kingsgate. The second resolution pertains to the city’s future plans for improving fire services in the city, as well as removes funding for planned projections based on residents’ concerns. The council first touched on the issue back in September, then held a public hearing at its Oct. 20 meeting before approving the resolutions. The ILA had the city assume responsibility for uncompleted district projects, which included plans for consolidating Station 24 and Station 25 to improve response times on Finn Hill. At the time of annexation, the district had $5.2 million total in cash reserves ($1.2 million) and limited general

obligation debt annexation ($4 million) to pay for the project, funds which were transferred to the city as part of the ILA. The ILA included stipulations as to how the funds were to be spent, such as requiring the assets be used for the benefit of taxpayers of the fire district. A provision in the ILA also requires the sale of the existing fire station sites, as the project as originally conceived would have had a newly constructed station on a new site. Under the ILA, the anticipated sales proceeds from the two stations were not considered a funding source for the station project but would be used to retire the bond debt. As the city moves forward with plans for improving fire service on Finn Hill, where the 2012 Fire Strategic Plan found a gap in response times, it has concluded that the single consolidated station idea is no longer feasible and that a dual-station model is “the most reasonable and cost-effective way to accomplish the goals of the Interlocal Agreement.” The dual-station model is based on recommendations from a 2013 standard of coverage study and has received council support. Whereas the consolidated station would have had both current stations closed and the property sold, the dual-station plan based in Kirkland, has launched the Teacher Discount program, an initiative aimed at helping educators by providing a 10 percent discount on every purchase to all program members every day of the year. The discount can be applied to purchases on the ATGStores.com website in any product category, even during the summer months when

proposes renovating Station 25 and building a new fire station somewhere in the general vicinity of Northeast 132nd Street and 100th Avenue Northeast to replace Station 24, which no longer has any fire staff and has ceased operations. Under the resolution, the city will use $3.8 million of the fire district funds toward Station 25’s renovation, which would include repairs, fire alarm and fire sprinkler installations, fire separation walls and accessibility improvements, among other things. The remaining $1.4 million would be used to purchase property for the new Station 24 site. Once the site is purchased, the resolution states, the city would sell off the existing station property and use the proceeds from the sale to finance construction of the new station, though a bond might also be issued. Now that the resolutions had been approved, the city will be renovating Station 25 and looking to purchase property for the new Station 24, while leaving six existing firefighters at Station 27. Among the city’s plans moving forward is considering a bond measure for

the construction of Station 24, the construction of a new Station 27 east of Interstate-405, and the renovation of Stations 21, 22 and 26. The city was also considering removing road barriers on Finn Hill to improve response times, but residents voiced objections over safety concerns, and as part of the second resolution the city repurposed the $3 million intended for the removal project purchasing the land for the new Station 27. Although the city has looked at publiclyowned land on Finn Hill previously considered for the consolidated station, it has concluded that none of them were “ideally suited and/ or available,” according to the resolution. Prior to annexation, Big Finn Hill Park was initially considered as a site for the future station but was dropped due to local opposition. “The goals of the Interlocal Agreement cannot reasonably and cost-effectively be accomplished by undertaking the Fire Station Consolidation Project as described in the Interlocal Agreement,” the resolution states. “To continue to attempt to consolidate the two stations in a new location would

frustrate the purpose of increasing service levels in the near-term and within the budget provided by the District, and such attempt would not be in the public interest.” Councilmember Toby Nixon, who served as a fire commissioner in the district at the time the ILA was written, said the proposed resolution would be in keeping with the spirit or intent of the agreement. “The overriding purpose or intent of the commission was to solve the coverage issues on Finn Hill and to make sure the money or assets coming from the district to the city were used for that purpose and didn’t disappear into the city general fund,” he said at the Sept. 15 council meeting. “My belief is if we had thought about this contingency at the time we did the ILA, we would have allowed this explicitly. Even though I can’t speak for other commissioners and the fire district no longer exists, I think we’re on solid ground by following this path.” He later reiterated this sentiment at the Oct. 20 meeting. “The intent was to make sure that this $5.2 million didn’t just disappear into the city’s general fund and get used for something else,” he said. “The key question is whether the city has to sell Station 25 to itself. It doesn’t make a all year long. “We believe both teachers and students deserve all the help they can get, and our discount programs are a way for us to support their goals as educators and future leaders,” Mr. Goff said.

lot of sense for it to have to do that.” Councilmember Penny Sweet stated that the resolutions will allow them the flexibility needed to provide fire services to the city. “It’s been a long slog,” she said. “At times it’s kind of felt like ‘Where’s Waldo’ in terms of where we were going to land. I believe we landed in the right place. We took a lot of left turns along the way but I think this actually meets our commitment of expanding fire service across the whole city in ways that have been more creative than they have been in the past.” City Attorney Robin Jenkinson said that while they aren’t aware of any legal precedent for the resolution clarifying the ILA, it is also an unusual situation due to the fact that the other party in the ILA, the fire district, no longer exists. Before voting on the resolutions, the city reached out to the attorney who served as the bound council for the fire district. The city has also contacted the other fire commissioners at the time the ILA was approved and invited them participate in the public hearing, though according to Jenkinson, all other commissioners besides Nixon have at this point declined, though they also offered no objection to the resolution. products and has been serving its customers since 1999.

Our Fibrex material was researched by Andersen for 30 years before it was installed in even one home. Our Fibrex material is twice as strong as vinyl.

3. Accountability

There’s no frustrating “middle man” to deal with. We sell, build, install and warrant both our windows and installation.
