    The 2015 Kirkland City Council races will feature seven candidates for council but just one primary, according to the King County Elec-tions website.

    Councilwoman Shelley Kloba, who currently holds position 2, will face three

    challengers during the Aug. 4 primary - William (Bill) Henkens, Jory Hamilton and Jason Chinchilla.

    Kloba was appointed to a vacated seat in 2013 and was then elected by voters later that same year. She graduated from the Univer-sity of Illinois with a B.S. in Kinesiology (1990) and graduated from the Seattle

    Massage School with Hon-ors (1996). She is currently employed at e Donald-son Clinic Physical erapy.

    e Council-woman said that she is excited to have three chal-lengers for her seat.

    I think it ener-gizes voters to have choices on their ballot and I look forward to increased voter

    A joint meeting between the Kirkland and Bellevue City Councils conveyed their mutual hope for a possible partnership on re-gional community facilities.

    However, such a partner-ship is unlikely in regard to Kirklands plans for the Aquatic Recreational Community (ARC) Center and its consideration of a metropolitan park district (MPD) to fund it due to signi cant di erences in planning and site prefer-ences, a problem it has faced with other neighbor-ing cities.

    At the same time, Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci and other council-members expressed interest in cooperating in the future in some way as they look to meet the growing needs of the Eastside communities.

    Bellevue is one of several neighboring cities Kirkland has reached out to, in addi-tion to local organizations, in the hopes of a partner-ship not just for the ARC but future community fa-cilities as well that might be

    funded through an MPD. e Lake Washington School District originally planned to be a signi cant partner with the city on the ARC, according to City Manager Kurt Triplett, but its nancial involvement came to an end when their $755 million bond measure failed last year.

    For the IBA dancers like Sammamish resident Lauren Zimmermann and Kirkland resident Melisa Gulliams, the di erence between their home communities on the Eastside and St. Petersburg were evident almost as soon as they arrived. During the week-long festival, they stayed at a renovated palace converted into a hotel where, from the ninth oor, they were able to get a full pan-orama of the citys skyline.

    I was just so impressed not just by the dancing but when looking at buildings, Gulliams said, who lives in Juanita and goes to Finn Hill Middle School.

    Touring St. Petersburg, long considered Russias cultural capital, they saw historic buildings like the Catherine Palace and the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood.

    Its just a di erent life-style from here, Zimerm-mann said, who attends the International Community School in Kirkland. We never saw independent homes or neighborhoods.

    ey were also struck by the emphasis the culture placed on the arts and the degree of prestige given to

    dancers and performers. is emphasis, they said,

    was conveyed during the morning classes, where they were taught by a rst soloist from the Mariisnky Ballet Company. As a new teacher, her enthusiasm showed in how she instructed them, insisting that their posture and technique were im-maculate.

    ey paid so much at-tention to detail, Gulliams said. And the teacher, she ran across the room to cor-rect people.

    She was very hands on, Zimmermann said. She was open, but kind and gentle.

    Although their teacher spoke only Russian, the dancers were able to follow her instructions based on her body language and ges-tures. Altunina also watched the classes and assisted if something was being lost in translation.

    Ballet is like a universal language, Zimmermann said.

    In the a ernoons, dancers also worked on a pre-planned jazz-inspired piece, while Gulliam had a solo piece, which they eventually performed at the end of the festival on stage.

    ey also were able to watch performances on the Mariinsky Ballet eatre. Opened in 1860 and named a er Russian Empress Maria Alexandrovna, the wife of Tsar Alexander II, it is one

    of the oldest stages in St. Petersburg. e theatre was severely damaged but later restored a er a 872-day siege in World War II during the German-led invasion of Russia.

    To the dancers, Altunina said, the theatre, with its historical signi cance, o ered them a chance to see performances, such as Legend of Love, which are rarely performed in the United States.

    Its the aura, she said. Its about the environment. eres a history to that stageIf you were to see the real thing, thats the place to go.

    Zimmermann and Gulliams said they saw the ballet performance, based on the legend of Farhad and Shirin, in videos online. However, seeing it live on stage was an incomparable experience.

    I think theyre really amazing, Zimmermann said. To see them live is a completely di erent experi-ence from watching on YouTube. Its the moment of am I really here?

    For Altunina, the trip had accomplished exactly what they had intended for the students when they returned.

    I feeleveryone had changed, she said. ey became more open and respectful. ey learned of how important the culture is.

    new community center, though it has stated where they would want it located. Whereas Kirkland, based on feedback from the com-munity, has stated a prefer-ence for the ARC to be located in the Totem Lake neighborhood and is cur-rently looking for private property to purchase, Bel-levue is considering either Highland Community Park or Bellevue College Cam-pus. Like Kirkland, Bellevue too has also reached out to local organizations to see if a partnership was pos-sible and discovered that despite a mutual agreement on the demand for a pool, their timing and priorities werent su ciently aligned for it to work.

    On a partnership with the ARC, the meetings outcome mirrored to an extent that of a joint meet-ing Kirkland had with the Redmond City Council, in which the cities concluded that a partnership for the facility would not be viable for similar reasons stemming from di er-ences in site preference and timelines. Redmond, which started working on their Recreational Building

    Master Plan in 2013, has yet to complete it and look to have their recreation center in their downtown, where they are currently conduct-ing a site analysis.

    According to city documents, Bellevue has no speci c timeline for a potential facility. e di er-ence in planning stages was noted by Balducci at the joint meeting, stating that while they hope to work with Kirkland, the city should not put o a vote on the MPD this November or place the ARC on hold.

    It seems youre way ahead, and if youre looking for a ballot measure, we would probably slow you down, she said, I would not want to delay you and then have it come to noth-ing.

    She added, however, I think this kind of subre-gional cooperation is the way of the future.

    Kirkland Councilmem-ber Penny Sweet said I dont think we should stop having this conversation.

    e city of Kirkland is currently working on a ballot measure for an MPD, following the approval of a resolution by the Kirkland City Council at their April

    12 meeting. e council will make a nal decision on the matter in August.

    e measure could set the tax rate, where the boundaries would be lo-cated, and where the money would go, or leave it to be worked out later.

    Its proponents in the city say it would provide ex-ibility while it looks for a site to purchase. e lack of property, they said, leaves the nal cost for the ARC uncertain. If the district were con ned strictly to Kirkland, it would be run by the council. e day to day operations of district facilities would be handled by city sta through an in-terlocal agreement between the city and the district, according to Parks Director Jenny Schroeder.

    Nothing will be visibly di erent, she said. It really is a funding mechanism. It would be the council that would be the governing body of the district.

    An MPD would also be able to spend levy funds on facilities located outside of the district, though this has raised concerns that it would not provide enough accountability for how the money is spent.

    e Lake Washington High School so ball team won the 2A/3A KingCo tournament title for the second consecutive year by defeating Juanita, 7-5, on Saturday. However, that was just the rst step. e Kangs continue on this week in search of a second straight state title - but this time at the 3A level.

    We won the 2A state title last year, then this year LW moved up to 3A, said Lake Washington High School so ball head coach Traci Tawney. Our regular season league competition remained the same core group as last, so there was solid competi-tion to help test our skills and show us where we needed to improve. I think that will be very helpful as we move into some uncharted 3A post season waters.

    e Rebels, Kangs and Bellevue advance from King-Co to the district tourna-ment, played this week at the Southwest Athletic Complex in West Seattle (results were a er press deadline). e Kangs dominated the regular season, though, nishing 19-0 in league play and 20-1 overall. Lake Washingtons

    only loss came to 4A power Inglemoor to start the pre-season.

    Crosstown-rival Juanita posed a big threat to the Kangs run this season. Lisa Nelson continues to be one of the best pitchers in the league. She took the loss for the Rebels during the title game despite giving up just two earned runs and striking out nine batters.

    [Juanita head coach] Traci Odegard has been working hard with her team and we knew they would be ready, Tawney said. It was great to have both Kirkland teams battling it out; the [championship] game had plenty of tense moments. Turns out that day, we ended up ahead at the end.

    Tawney said that the friendly rivalry between the two schools will help each team get better.

    ey exposed some areas of weakness and gave us

    goals for practice, Tawney said.

    During the championship game it was Maddie Brown who pitched for the Kangs, throwing a complete game, giving up just four earned runs while striking out eight batters. e reemergence of Brown on the mound, who struggled with injuries last postseason, gives Lake Wash-ington a rare one-two punch from the pitching circle with Tori Bivens continuing to dominate every team she faces.

    e teams catcher Hannah Walker has also emerged as a force at the plate.

    Both had outstanding numbers last year and have become even stronger this year, Tawney said. Its pretty amazing watching them miss-hit a ball and still get singles and doubles. en when they are on...watch out. I wouldnt want to play in eld against them.

    However, the entire of-fense has been more potent this season with six di erent players hitting a home run.

    We have such a diverse group of hitters one through nine, Tawney said. We work really hard to get girls on base, because there are several in the lineup that can produce big hits and bring

    in runs.Bivens had two RBI dur-

    ing the title game and went 2-for-3 with a double at the plate. Kangs Julie Turner, Walker and Brown each had a double.

    Lexi Blackburn hit a home run for the Rebels, however it was not enough to knock o the champs.

    Tawney was also named Coach of the Year for the 2A/3A KingCo league. However, she sees the award as being for the entire coaching sta , including Jessica Cuillier and Bethany Newcomb.

    It means that the hard work, hours, laughs and communication that the three of us put in is recog-nized and appreciated, Taw-

    ney said. e three coaches are not ones to yell, instead we always try to be encour-aging and teach. Our goal for three seasons now has been to have passersby look at our team and be able to tell that players and coaches love the game and love being on that eld. Coach of the Year means that weve been able to do that.

    e 3A tournaments will give the Kangs a tougher challenge this season with Metro powers Ballard, West Seattle and Bainbridge Is-land. Enumclaw and Everett will also pose a big challenge if the Kangs qualify for the state championship tourna-ment again.

    Not sure who we will end up seeing, but we know that postseason is everyones time to shine, Tawney said. ere are bound to be many

    great games.Juanita won its rst district

    game on Monday by defeat-ing Chief Sealth, 11-0, at the Southwest Athletic Complex in West Seattle.

    Metropolitan Park District is a good way to fund ARC

    I am writing in response to the recent letter published in the Kirkland Reporter, Park district could be taxation with no results.

    First, let me say that the city manager and City Council are pressing forward with plans for the ARC (Aquatics Recreation and Community center) for the people of Kirkland.

    A Metropolitan Park District (MPD) is the ideal way to fund the ARC project. e MPD, if approved by the voters, would provide the fund-ing for the ARC while keeping taxes as low as possible.

    e letter writer states that the MPD will allow the city to accumulate funds to purchase a site yet to be determined. It is my understanding that no taxes will be collected in advance to purchase a site. Instead, the MPD will allow the city to pur-sue the purchase of a site, knowing that the funds can be collected when necessary. If a suitable site were not found, no tax money will be collected. However, by establishing the MPD, the city would be in a much stronger position for negotiating with private land owners. Furthermore, the city is looking at sites that are conveniently located to all residents of Kirkland, which will result in sites located within the pre-annexation boundaries.

    Furthermore, the letter writer states that the need for swimming lessons is not su cient to rope everyone into a program that will prob-ably neverbe able to show a pro t I believe the need for swimming lessons and water safety is important to our community, especially with number of lake front parks in our city.

    How can one put a price tag on something as important as the health and safety of those in our community? Surely, a community with the size and stature of Kirkland recognizes that we have a signi cant lack of access to these types of pro-grams? Ask the parents who have waited in lines and on waiting lists for access to swim lesson pro-grams only to be continually told their children cant participate because there isnt enough space

    if they see the value in this. e lesson sessions at Juanita sell out in seven minutes.

    e Juanita Aquatic Center under the manage-ment of WAVE Aquatics currently generates an operational pro t and has done so for the past ve years. No public funds or LWSD funds are used to operate this pool, or the Redmond Pool which is also managed by WAVE Aquatics, even though these pools are old and less e cient than a new, modern facility such as that proposed for the ARC.

    Furthermore, the pool at LA Fitness is available only to members and they do not o er swimming lessons, even to members. I am not aware of a swimming pool at the Golds Gym or 24 Hour Fitness locations in Kirkland. e Columbia Athletic Club does have pools and o ers lessons both to members for an additional fee, and to non-member for a slightly higher fee.

    Finally, the ARC encompasses far more than the aquatics component. ere will be gymnasi-ums, a tness center, classrooms for sports, dance and other Kirkland Parks programs, as well as community meeting rooms and event space.

    Together with the aquatic component, the ARC can be self-sustaining and provide year-round recreational and community opportunities for all Kirkland residents.Rick Colella, Kirkland

    Senate budget threatens Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program

    e state Senates capital budget that was released last month threatens to dismantle the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP), our states premier program that pro-tects and develops our outdoor spaces.

    In its recent budget proposal, the State Senate moved to subvert the law behind WWRP in the back of the budget, outside of the public eye and without the input of conservation and recreation stakeholders. is would cheat communities with important projects that would do the most good

    out of funding and instead funnel public money to lower ranked projects that certain legislators personally prefer.

    Whether it is hiking in gorgeous wilderness spaces or enjoying our local community parks, we in Washington are blessed with an abundance of outdoor opportunities. It is what gives us our stel-lar quality of life and makes Washington a great region to live, work and build a business. Our states primary tool for protecting and developing our natural heritage is the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program. WWRP protects our water quality, safeguards our wonderful natural heritage, and is the states largest source of funding for trail and local parks projects. WWRP has done more to protect Puget Sound than any other state program. e recreation opportunities it creates support our robust outdoor economy, employing 27,000 people and generating $2.3 billion annually in consumer spending in King County alone.

    Unfortunately, the Senates current budget plan undermines the law that determines how money for our outdoors is spent. Rather than following an established and exceedingly fair process that has been consistently followed for 25 years, Sen-ate budget writers are recommending instead to redirect public money to their preferred projects. is move takes money out of critical outdoors investments that were set to receive funding in this budget and moves it into lower ranked projects. Even more worrisome, undermining the law would set a dangerous precedent where it would now be acceptable to redirect WWRP money to earmarks, threatening the future of this great program.

    A big part of what has made WWRP such a successful, well-loved and respected program across the state is its fair, independent funding system. Every project proposal is evaluated and ranked by independent experts on the projects quality and importance, and projects receive funding in order of quality and urgency, not political expediency.

    This Memorial Day, there will be honor guards snapping to attention as flags ripple in the breeze. Amidst the green lawn and bright flowers of cemeter-ies throughout the state, lone buglers and mournful pipers will evoke a heartfelt tear.

    On Monday, I hope we can all shut off our Smart-Phones and pause from our barbecues and pic-nics and our busy lives. That we can take a moment to re-member those who served in the military who gave their precious lives for our nation, for our way of life and for our freedom.

    Whether they died a century ago, or just last week, their sacrifice renews itself every single day as we who probably never knew them, go about our daily lives, as we work, play, raise our families and build our com-munities. For the men and women who fell in World War I or II, in Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East or anywhere else be they

    strangers, relatives or old friends, they are all our family.

    On Memorial Day, we remember those who gave their all for our nation. But every other day of the year, may we also not forget to honor and thank the military men and women who served at home and abroad in

    the past, and especially appreciate those men and women who are serving today.

    Bill Henkens for position 2

    Henkens, who has owned e Game Neigh-borhood Bar and Grill in Juanita since 1999, ran for council in 2013 against current Councilwoman Doreen Mar-chione.

    Henkens said that he learned a lot from his rst time run-ning for council.

    I have a complete understanding of what happens, said Henkens, who has a Facebook page for his campaign at www.facebook.com/BillHen-kensForCityCouncil.

    He welcomes the com-petition for the seat, despite the fact that it means that only two of the candidates will continue on to the general election. Henkens did not face a primary in 2013.

    I am thrilled. I re-member the days when they couldnt get anyone to run, Henkens said.

    Shelly is a newcomer to the council and has never really been challenged.

    Henkens said that he disagrees with many of the decisions that Kloba has made, especially her vote in support of the plastic bag ban.

    I dont ap-preciate her not paying attention to what the people of Kirkland want, Henkens said. I will have the best interests of the citizens on my mind.

    e business owner, who lives in the Finn Hill neighborhood, said that the 2011 an-nexation area needs more representation on the council.

    Toby Nixon is on the council but he is from the Kingsgate neighborhood,

    said Henkens, who like Nixon is a big proponent of open government. ere is zero rep-resentation from Finn Hill.

    Henkens has lived in Kirkland or unincorporated Kirkland since

    the early 1980s and is involved with the Humane Society. He has also won numerous awards for his

    work with LifeWire, a local organization that helps victims of domestic violence.

    Jory Hamilton for position 2

    Hamiltons family has been in Kirkland for three genera-tions and he grew up in the Juanita neighborhood. He will graduate from the University of Washington in June with a Bach-elor of Science in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics (Com-prehensive) and Astrono-my with a minor in math and currently works at the Fred Meyer in Redmond as a sales clerk. Hamil-ton, 24, said that there is no substitution for hard work.

    I dont care whether I win or lose, said Ham-ilton, who put o taking the Medical College Admis-sions Test to run for council. If someone else can do a better job, ne. I just want the best for Kirkland.

    He is a 2009 Juanita High School graduate and former football team captain. He was an Eagle Scout for Boy Scouts of America: Troop 565, ac-cording to his LinkedIn page. He is also listed as a 2011 Washington Greco-

    Roman State Champion for USA Wrestling.

    My hope is that my leadership skills would transfer to being a council member, Hamilton said. I plan to walk door-to-door and ask my friends and family how to make

    Kirkland a better place because I know that my ideas might not necessarily be the best. I want to nd the best ideas.

    Hamilton has a Facebook page for his campaign at www.facebook.

    com/JoryForCityCouncil.

    Jason Chinchilla for position 2

    Chinchilla, who will be 20 years old next month, was appointed to the Kirk-

    land Park Board in March. One of his biggest issues is the bag ban the council passed earlier this year.

    I think it goes against the will of the people, Chin-chilla said. ey

    have decided they dont want the bag ban.

    He said that he chose to run against Kloba because he feels like he can advance to the general election and have a good chance to win.

    We have di ering opinions on a lot of issues and I want to stand up for

    those who di er with her, Chinchilla said.

    He was also on the school board at Puget Sound Adventist Acad-emy.

    is city is really close to my heart, said Chin-chilla, who works at Toy-ota of Kirkland. I think young people o er energy and new ideas that can propel their communities into the future.

    He is a student at Bellevue Col-lege, planning to major in politi-cal science with a minor in history. Chinchilla said that his main issues are tax regulation for small businesses and the quality of police and re protection for the entire city.

    We also need to build up the infrastruc-ture, especially in the annexation area, Chinchilla said.

    To contact Chin-chilla email [email protected]

    Martin Morgan challenges Dave Asher for position 6

    Martin Morgan is chal-lenging Councilman Dave Asher for position 6. is is Morgans fourth con-secutive time running for a council seat. Asher has held the seat since 2000 and is the longest tenured council member.

    I still have a lot to do, Asher said about running again. We have a pretty good working team and I am excited about the prog-ress we have made.

    Ashers campaign website can be found at www.dav-easher.org.

    Morgan chose to run

    against Asher because he thinks the council needs change.

    Dave has been there a long time and things have not changed, said Morgan, who is a contractor and has served as the Kirkland American Little League

    commissioner. e city manages the Council and they are not governed by the residents.

    Morgan said that he believes in open government and that the city needs to be more trans-parent.

    e Reporter published a story in 2009 that outlined Morgans criminal history and his issues with the city. At that time, he owed the city $20,000 for violating city codes. City o cials said Morgan has until 2016 to pay the ne. A property

    dispute with his neighbor over a leaking pipe led to Morgan owing the city more than $8,000. Morgan said that his stand-ing with the city has not changed.

    You dont really know all the facts

    - like how did it all start, Morgan said. I know how it all went down and the people I know, know how it went down and I am OK with that. Many of those codes have been changed since all that went down.

    When he ran in 2011 he told the Reporter he planned to continue run-ning for council at least until 2016.

    I think it is interest-ing that Martin wants to continue to advance at elec-tion time when he doesnt want to participate in the community the rest of the time, Asher said.

    Councilman Toby Nixon, who holds position 4, is also up for reelection but did not draw a chal-lenger.
