City to hold meeting at KPC concerning bus transit on corridorBY TJ MARTINELL
At a planned open house Nov. 19, the city of Kirkland
hopes to present their vision for future trans-portation along the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) as part of Sound Transit upcoming projects.
Right now, Sound Tran-sit is preparing a dra� list of ST3 projects that, when approved in 2016, will be sent to the voters for consideration on a ballot measure. While light rail is being considered, city o� cials have been � ghting to get their plan for a bus rapid transit (BRT) on the project list, which they
believe would be more � exible to change as well as more ap-propriate for the community. � e meeting will be held from 6:30-9:00 p.m. at the Kirkland Perfor-mance Center, located at 350 Kirkland Avenue. Sta� will be available to
answer questions about high capacity transit
from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
For the city, the public meet-ing is an oppor-
tunity to not only solicit feedback but
also get residents up to speed on the situation and how their plans rely
on getting Sound Transit to embrace their transit vision. As with the rest of the Eastside Rail Corridor, Sound Transit has ease-ment rights that super-sedes Kirkland’s ownership of the CKC, according to Public Works Directory Kathy Brown.
During a presentation council’s Nov. 4 meeting, Brown described BRT as one of several solutions
the city is using to address tra� c congestion due to population growth that is expected to only increase in the next two decades, particularly in areas like Totem Lake that are des-ignated as urban centers. According to Brown, Totem Lake is projected to have 54,266 employees and 12,241 housing units by 2035.
Sound Transit has easement rights, could put light rail on Cross Kirkland Corridor

BY MATT PHELPS AND TJ MARTINELL
Kirkland Reporter
Kirkland � re� ghters discovered a man who died in a house � re, just blocks from Lake Washington High School, early Sunday morning.
Kenneth Hanson, 62, was found in his home, two blocks from the high school where he graduated and
then worked, with the Lake Washington School District, for three decades.
“He was very sel� ess and extremely kind,” said Han-son’s cousin Rachel Shade. “His family and friends meant everything to him. He took joy in the moments and the time he got to spend with family and friends. It’s hard for us but we know that we will see him again.”
A funeral for Hanson will be held at 2 p.m. today at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, located at 1215 145th Place SE in Bellevue.
Kirklandreporter.com received many messages regarding Hanson’s contribu-tions to the community.
“Ken was an amaz-ingly caring man and this is absolutely heartbreaking,”

Police save man after he attacks others with pitchforkBY TJ MARTINELL
A 20-year-old naked man arrested Monday by Kirkland Police for attacking people with a pitchfork nearly bled to death a� er jumping out of the closed bedroom window of a home.
� e man, who was eventu-ally transported to Harborview Medi-cal Center in Seattle, had initially le� EvergreenHealth in the Totem Lake neighborhood at around noon.
� e Kirkland Police Department (KPD) was con-tacted by hospital sta� out of concern, followed shortly a� er that by at least � ve people in a 30 minute time frame, all reporting assaults by a man wearing scrubs with either his � sts, a stick or a pitchfork stolen from a residence. None of the assault victims su� ered life-threating injuries.
Due to his proximity to Robert Frost Elementary School, police noti� ed school o� cials, who initiated lock-down protocol.
During the � � h attack, the suspect entered the home and struck the female resi-dent, then crashed through a bedroom window, which le� him with severe wounds. He was later found naked by KPD, in the middle of a cul-de-sac on the 14300 block of 118th Avenue NE, who applied a tourniquet to his
wounds while Kirk-land Fire Depart-ment transported him to Harborview Medical Center.
According to KPD Spokesperson Lt.
Mike Murray, they were later informed by Harbor-
view hospital sta� that if they had not applied the tourni-quet the man would have bled to death.
“He was barely alive at that point,” he said.
An investigation is under-way, but Murray said they are already looking at felony charges for assault and pos-sibly burglary as well.
It is not known at this time whether the man was high or intoxicated, though Murray said they are awaiting results from a drug test. KENNETH HANSON

Four years a� er his disap-pearance, the Bellevue Police Department is continuing the search for Sky Metalwala, and may have new informa-tion to work with.
Sky’s father, Solomon Met-alwala, has reportedly given Bellevue Police new informa-tion on his son’s disappear-ance, police said.
“I wouldn’t call it ‘leads’ so much as it is new informa-tion that he feels is relevant to the investigation,” said Bellevue Police Department spokesperson Seth Tyler. He would not elaborate on what the information entailed due to the ongoing investigation.
On Nov. 6, 2011, 2-year-old Sky Metalwala was reported missing in Bel-levue by his mother, Julia Biryukova. She initially told police her car ran out of gas that morning, as she was attempting to take the boy to the hospital. She le� the car at the 2400 block of 112th Avenue Northeast with Sky still in the car. When she returned to the car approxi-mately an hour later, he was gone.
To date, investigators with
the FBI, Bellevue Police Department, and Redmond Police Department have pursued over 2,500 tips, spent over 14,000 hours, and over $2 million during the investigation. However, Sky remains missing.
� e department previ-
ously said in 2013 that they had exhausted all leads, but remained hopeful they would � nd Metalwala. But, on the fourth anniversary of the disappearance, Bellevue Police have revealed they have new information from Sky’s father that they will be
investigating and have issued a renewed plea to speak to Biryukova.
Since shortly a� er her son’s disappearance, Biryukova has refused to participate in the police investigation, despite the fact that police found several holes in Biryu-
kova’s account of the disap-pearance and have continu-ally asked for her assistance. Notably, the police said they were able to determine that Biryukova’s silver Acura Integra — which she said ran out of gas and necessitated her leaving the vehicle with Sky in it — had enough fuel to drive for a considerable amount of time.
Biryukova and Solo-mon Metalwala divorced in March 2012. Solomon Metawala was given custody of the boy’s sister, and Biryu-kova was allowed no visita-tion rights. � e pair were going through the divorce and a custody battle before the boy disappeared.
Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett, who joined the
department six months ago, addressed the case shortly a� er his hiring and issued a statement Nov. 5 asking Biryukova to contact the police.
“I am convinced you hold the key to � nding Sky. � e employees of the Bellevue Police Department will not stop searching for Sky, but I cannot emphasize enough the role you play in success-fully locating your little boy,” Mylett said in the statement.
Anyone with information regarding this case is urged to contact the Bellevue Po-lice Department by send-ing an email to [email protected] or calling 425-577-5656.

Kirkland residents are the dreamers and the doers
� e Be Neighborly Kirkland Facebook Group is � lled with movers, shakers and action-oriented people - the people who shape this community and the city of Kirkland. � ank you to all of you who take action.
We had a plea to raise funds to out� t the Cow and Coyote statue [in downtown Kirkland] with a new Seahawks out� t since last one was stolen. Within just three hours we had raised the money needed to purchase not just one but two new uni-forms. We decided the Sounders were so awesome they better have one too. In three hours this com-munity showed us what kind of people they are - they are the dreamers and the doers. Be Neighborly Kirkland I adore you.

Kirkland Nourishing Network accepting donations for families in need
Kirkland Nourishing Network is trying to bring to light some gaps in food security, right here in our community. We’ve made it pretty simple for you to be part of the solution to � ll gaps identi� ed by teachers and school counsel-ors. If you could volunteer to shop for a box of
food (menu provided) and drop o� the box at a central site on Tuesday, Nov. 24, that evening the box will be in the home of a family that really needs it. Each box is under $50 with a standard menu of items.
Kirkland has stepped up to � ll the need every school break for the past four years. � e key thing you need to realize is that you can make a real di� erence in the lives of Kirkland neigh-bors. We are expanding this year to all Kirkland elementary schools with identi� ed need. � at means we need donors for over 200 boxes of food – helping over 150 families! Some neigh-bors struggle more than we appreciate; but, together, we can help to � ll the need.
Everything you need to know is on the sign-up links at http://www.nourishingnetworks.net/kirkland/. Just select a convenient drop-o� loca-tion (north or south). Once on the sign-up page, click on a “Sign Up” box (or two) and then click on “Submit and Sign Up.” � e grocery list link is above the sign-up list.
You don’t have to withhold your commitment if you think things might possibly change. � e commitment is revocable; if something unan-ticipated arises, then you can o� er the box you signed up for to someone else. Just let us know as far ahead of time as possible. If you want to donate but will be away, so you can’t shop for fresh food, let me know ([email protected]), and I will work to � nd volunteers with the Eastside Timebank or other local volunteers to do the shopping and drop-o� .
A great thank you to the Kiwanis Club of Kirkland for providing funds, this year, to buy protein to be added to the boxes.
� ank to all of you for considering to help your neighbors in need.Dave Asher, Kirkland
The sophomoric behavior of the Kirkland Reporter
I am writing a general comment to the com-munity of Kirkland in defense of Bob Sterno� ; a long-standing public servant and private com-munity activist. Over the past three years, I have witnessed and remained silent of your biased, public and false character assassinations of this � ne citizen.
In spite of your outright attacks, Bob has continued to serve Kirkland and its residents tirelessly over the span of these last three years since leaving the City Council. He has remained an experienced, dedicated, intelligent, connected to the citizens and businesses, hard-working person who cares and is determined to be a part of “walking the walk in taking Kirkland to the next level.
During the span of these years, Bob worked toward a more seamless integration of the an-nexation area, to analyze and ameliorate the e� ects of the, now current, bridge and 405 tolls, and, to be a proactive supporter of managed growth in downtown and Totem Lake. � ere are very few qualities
● L E T T E R S . . . Y O U R O P I N I O N C O U N T S : To submit an item or photo: email [email protected]; mail attn: Letters, Kirkland Reporter, 11630 Slater Ave. N.E., Suite 8/9, Kirkland, Washington, 98034; fax 425.822.0141. Letters may be edited for style, clarity and length.
At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the guns � nally fell silent across France. Peace
broke out that day, and soon ‘Johnny came marching home’ back to the US. For many years, Nov. 11 was recognized as Armistice Day, a day we gave recognition and thanks to our World War I veterans.
A second World War, a U.N. ‘Police Action’ in Korea, and 35 years later, the Nov. 11 observance was renamed as Veterans Day. Since then, we as a grateful nation give thanks and honor to every veteran that served at home or abroad, be it in France, the Paci� c, the cold hills of Korea or a military base stateside.
On Nov. 11, we also gave thanks to the veterans who fought in the sand and deserts of Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. On every other day, I hope we give thanks to the ac-tive uniformed servicemen and women who are serving in harm’s way. No matter how complex the mission, how di� cult the task or terrain, our uniformed service members and military fami-lies have continually answered our nation’s call.
But we as a nation have let a group of veterans down. From the early 1950s to the mid 1960s, we were � ghting a very real Cold War. Back then, the Domino � eory was fact. From the White House and Pentagon down to our family dinner tables, it shaped our foreign policy and our na-tional opinion. All of America felt that we were the Bulwark of Freedom, and that the U.S. must take a stand against Communism.
And in 1965 we did – in Vietnam. Fi� y years a� er the beginning and 40 years a� er the ending of that war, many Americans fail to go beyond
lingering disagreement of the policies that led to that war and the complex issues that escalated and ended it. Back then, many of us never re-ally properly thanked and welcomed home the thousands of men and women who returned home from answering our nation’s call to put their boots on the ground and their lives on the line in the humid jungles, rivers and � re bases of that divided country.
Today, we all have family members, friends or acquaintances who served in Vietnam. It is never too late for us to undo the disservice done to many veterans who returned home and were disdained or ignored 40 years ago. Now is the time to thank a Vietnam veteran for their ser-vice. Now is the time to listen to their story.
Sound Publishing recognizes and thanks all our uniformed service members, veterans and military families. During the 50th and 40th an-
niversaries of the Vietnam war, we give special recognition, thanks and honor to our Vietnam veterans and their families.

that can substitute for this kind of ground-level, gut-level dedication and experience. More recently, he spear-headed the grass root efforts to inform the citizens of Kirkland as to the significant “hidden” costs associated with Prop. 1, which informed the public, and they in turn, overwhelmingly defeated it by a wide margin. Yet, his blog did not gloat at its defeat, but in fact, encouraged the City Council to return to the table in efforts to build the ARC [Aquatics, Recreation and Community center] in a manner conducive to the fiscal responsibility of all tax-paying citizens.
The tactics of Kirkland Reporter to smear Bob Ster-noff ’s good name once again is beneath us. Kirkland is better than this. You should not kick someone when you “think” you have the scoop and they “appear” vulnerable. But in fact, exhibit tolerant, unbiased and fair journal-istic discovery before telling your “story.” I, and many others, know the true story. You really haven’t a clue. The final chapter has not been written.
Be very careful what you write in the name of public disclosure on a man who “privately” works very hard and quietly for this community. Our mother’s taught us bet-ter than this. It would be justice indeed if more citizens stood up against your rag in repudiation of these tactics.Jim Feek, Kirkland
The recent closure of 98th in Kirkland
The recent closure of 98th in Kirkland was an inconve-nient closure for many people, regardless of freeway ac-cess and their “timing.” And consider that freeway access still can be out of the way for many people.
Disregarding this, an explanation of what was done would be appreciated. After discussing this with several people we all had the same thoughts. Slurry is possible but that wouldn’t require complete closure for such a long period of time. Perhaps lights which would be great considering how dark it can get. Botts? Wonderful! It sure needs it.
Regardless, all these didn’t require complete closure for, which changed midstream, nine hours a day for 10 days. And nothing was done as far as we can know.
Where was the money spent? [This was a] very inept disclosure of intent.
Suzanne Jacobs, Kirkland
City response to closure of 98th Avenue Northeast
Hello Miss Jacobs and all of the Kirkland residents who, in late October, encountered the night-time road-closure on 98th Avenue Northeast at the Forbes Creek Bridge near Juanita Beach Park.
Thank you, first of all, for your patience while our con-tractor retrofitted the Forbes Creek Bridge to withstand earthquakes. As you might have noticed, our contractor was able to complete most of the work without affecting daytime traffic. The project began in July and continued through October.
However, during one critical week of the project, the contractor did have to close 98th Avenue Northeast at the bridge between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. to automotive traffic and to detour that traffic through Northeast 116th Street and Forbes Creek Drive.
To prepare drivers and residents for this, we developed a web page, which we updated regularly. We met and chatted with residents at various city and community planning events. And we mailed project fliers to those living within 1,000 feet of the project site. We recognized that only a few dozen residents live within that proxim-ity of the work site. But we also knew that many, many more use that road every day. So we also sent a series of articles through our list serves and to the media. The Kirkland Reporter and Kirkland Views carried these stories, along with photos.
We mounted a large interpretive sign on the Juanita Bay Causeway. The sign describes the project’s purpose and the road-closure’s anticipated time-frame. On top of this, we placed variable message boards on both ends of the work site in several weeks before we closed the road. The purpose of these message boards was to prepare drivers for the upcoming closure.
Regardless of these efforts, we recognize this informa-tion did not reach you — even though you would have been interested in it. That tells me that we can do better. I am always looking for more effective channels and styles to convey relevant informa-tion about infrastructure projects to the residents who would benefit from it. If you have any sug-gestions for how we could more effectively convey project-related information, please give me a call or drop me an email.Christian Knight, city of Kirkland
Keep buses off the Cross Kirkland Corridor
Dear city of Kirkland and the Kirkland Reporter,Please keep busses on I-405 where they belong, us-
ing the two new toll lanes and special HOV ramps that were designed to serve buses (and certainly removed its utility for actual three-person carpoolers who use the Northeast 85th exit heading to/from Bellevue). The new trail is a real gem, like Marina Park downtown. It should be expanded to link to Bellevue and Woodinville wine country.
There’s no need to pave over wetlands and ruin neigh-borhoods and cause safety issues for Peter Kirk Elemen-tary and Kirkland Middle School students. I have lived in Kirkland for 26 years, and this trail has long been a dream that has finally arrived. Please don’t turn it into a nightmare.David Wall, Kirkland
Tell council you don’t want transit on the CKC
I was deeply dismayed to learn recently that the Kirkland City Council is proposing bus rapid transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC). Yes, Kirkland needs more transit, but I see no compelling reason to put it on the CKC.
The 405 master plan adopted by all Eastside cities specifies bus rapid transit on 405. A 405 option would be cheaper, within range of just as many people, and could more easily connect people to jobs and shopping on both sides of 405. The council is moving quickly to make a decision before Dec. 13 to ask Sound Transit to include CKC buses on a ballot package next year. If anyone is concerned about buses on the CKC, I urge
them to attend the Kirkland City Council meeting at 7 p.m. on Nov. 17 (wear green!). They can also write letters to the council and attend the information open house at 7 p.m. on Nov. 19, at the Kirkland Performance Center. If we don’t speak out now, those of us who like to walk and ride the CKC could soon be sharing it with a bus every two-to-three minutes.Karen Story, Kirkland
Don’t ruin the Cross Kirkland Corridor
While everyone agrees that the bus system is broken in its current state, running buses down a nature corridor next to neighborhoods, next to schools and through awkward street crossings is just about the worst idea imaginable.
I urge the county to reconsider this and urge the city to fight in the best interests of the people and oppose this.
To whom it may concern, the residents of Kirkland do not want this. Leave the Cross Kirkland Corridor
trail in tact as it sits. Feel free to make improve-ments to the pedestrian crossings but do not fill the trail with any sort of trains, buses, taxicabs or otherwise.Do not believe the lies of contractors and cor-
porations who will try to convince you of some new pavement, electric bus or other product that is going to make this all bearable. None of those things make it acceptable to carve out a 100-foot wide path through an environmentally sensitive area.
Here’s some advice to Kirkland: Pull out the handbook of environmental restrictions that you apply to everyone’s residential projects and apply them to this. Please do this before wasting hundreds of thousands of my tax dollars on environmental feasibility studies and then environ-mental mitigations in an attempt to force this project to work that no one wants.Geordy Rostad, Kirkland
Transit on corridor, wear green to the meeting
As a longtime Kirkland resident, I’m extremely con-cerned about the planned bus rapid transit on the cross Kirkland trail, our City Council’s direction and the lack of community input. The council needs to hear from the people who care about protecting the cross Kirkland trail.
We have a limited time to show our strength to the Council, and to tell them that we want them to keep the bus rapid transit on I-405 and optimize the newly designed I-405 HOV lanes.
We have a very short window to make a difference and we need your help.
Here is what you can do:Attend the City Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Tues-
day, Nov. 17 at City Hall (wear green).Attend the Keeping Kirkland Moving Open House at
6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19 at Kirkland Performance Center (wear green).

[ HANSON from page 1] commented Ericka Halgren Coleman. “Much love to his family!”
Hanson was recognized for his work in the district.
“I worked with Kenny for 27 years,” said Charles Beckmeier. “LWSD Support Services Center these were
enjoyable days. God bless you Ken, you will be missed.”
LWSD officials confirmed that Hanson worked for the district for 31 years.
“Ken Hanson was a dedicated Lake Washington School District employee for many years,” said LWSD spokesperson Kathryn Reith.
“He joined the district in 1980 as a laborer in the dis-trict’s maintenance depart-ment. He held that position for four years. In 1984 he joined the district’s grounds crew where he spent the last 31 years taking great care of our many schools and sites. Ken had recently retired
from the district. We were very saddened to hear of his death. He was a positive person, who enjoyed and took great pride in his work. Our thoughts go out to Ken’s family and friends.”
Shade also posted to Face-book: “Know as our hearts break for the loss of such a
amazing sweet, caring, loving and gentle man, who always was willing to talk and always had a big bear hug waiting for us, know that he is truly never gone from our lives... I guess God always had other plans for him up in heaven and it was just time to go, so those plans could start.”
Multiple units from the Kirkland Fire Department (KFD) responded to the house fire at approximately 1 a.m. in the 7300 block of 120th Avenue NE.
Fire attack was conducted from three directions toward the structure. At the time of arrival, it was not known if the home was occupied and the structure was deemed unsafe to conduct a search. However, from the exte-
rior, fire crews observed a deceased person, Hanson, through the bedroom window.
The official cause of death, according to the King County Medical Examiner, is “inhalation of toxic products of combustion and thermal burns,” and the examiner has ruled the death an accident.
Emergency dispatch calls reported flames on the front porch, door and roof at the house. Upon arrival, KFD noted the approximately 1,500 square foot structure was 75 percent involved.
The cause of the fire is still officially under investigation by Kirkland Fire Investiga-tors but the structure has been deemed a complete loss.

[ CORRIDOR from page 1] “It will only get worse if
we aren’t successful in get-ting high capacity transit to the city,” she said. “We have to do something about congestion. If we don’t do anything now things will just get worse in the future.
The city is also looking at improving pedestrian connectivity and bicycle networks while managing regular vehicle traffic. The CKC master plan envi-sions high capacity transit (HCT), Brown said, but so that it complements the existing environment. With its close proximity to many business, such as Google, the city believes BRT would remedy much of the traffic issues by giving commuters better alternative to driving down Interstate-405, which has been noted for its intense congestion. Washington Transporta-tion Commission recently approved tolls on the high capacity lanes in order to alleviate the congestion and conform to federal and state requirements for minimum average speeds for the lanes.
Despite concerns about how rapid transit on the CKC would affect the
existing interim trail completed early this year, Brown said while it is possible that is not what the city proposes and will advocate for with Sound Transit. Their vision is for rapid transit to take up the east section of the cor-ridor, leaving the current interim trail untouched.
At the same time, they would try to provide ad-ditional trails intended for commuters who bike while leaving the other trail for pedestrians.
However, this vision is contingent on what Sound Transit ultimately decides to do, and at what point in the process they reveal their plans.
Either way, Brown said, the city’s objective is to have the rapid transit con-nect downtown Kirkland, the Google campus and the 6th Street corridor to regional transit service on I-405.
“We will have to do some work with Sound Transit to make this vision real,” she said. “No matter what we do on the Cross Kirkland Corridor and what mode ends up on it, we want it to be a size and scale that fits Kirkland, that is consistent with our CKC master plan and that
won’t hurt our existing trail and amenities that we currently enjoy.”
Although light rail would be feasible as well and improve transporta-tion, Brown said their rigidity might prove to be troublesome as the region continues to grow.
“Trains are cool and people play with electric trains and people think that trains are the best of all possible high capacity transit options, but really when you dive into it and look at your various op-tions trains are not very flexible,” she said. “They have to run on the tracks. So as needs change you can’t change.”
Instead, she said, electric buses would have less of an impact on the corri-dor while using exclusive lanes, citing BRT examples such as Cambridge, and despite the term “rapid transit,” she said the buses wouldn’t be excessively large in size or going ab-normally fast.
“There are ways to do bus rapid transit service on the CKC that really fits in with our community,” she said. “There are specialty vehicles that can be used in BRT that quite frankly look a lot like trains.”

Kirkland’s booming housing market has at-tracted a Canadian-based construction manage-ment company seeking to branch out into the
Eastside and other parts of the state.
Founded in 2006, Alair uses a new approach in handling custom con-struction projects, both residential and commer-cial, between contractors and customers. Through the use of a Client Con-trol software, Alair helps clients keep projects within budget and on schedule, two of the biggest problems custom-ers handle, according to Chief Communications Officer Adam McCaa. The software also enables them to monitor the project’s progress directly from the construction site. The model also provides them with direct control over the project so that every change or decision requires their approval before moving.
“They want transpar-ency and certain things
really only Alair offers,” McCaa said. “If you look at a market like that…people are wanting to get as much out of their investment as possible. Our model just fits. We’re different from anyone in the state.”
The appeal, he said, is strong among custom home builders, who are typically much more interested in controlling the different aspects of the project and prefer a proactive role rather than passive.
“Now we know what every single person is charging, what every single purchase costs,” he said. “We’re giving you the price that we’re getting it for. It appeals to the better buyers, the people who are really conscious of their invest-ment. hey want to want to build a custom home,
they want to make a difference in their lives. They have questions, we have answers.”
Alair Regional Part-ner Stu Hopewell, who is assisting the Kirkland office’s at the moment, said their model is also a response to the kind of experience people want when building a custom home.
“Clients today are much more edu-cated than clients were 10, 15, or 20 years ago,” he said. “Theres lots of information people can source themselves. What we find now is clients know a great deal about one or two topics but others haven’t been researched. Clients aren’t looking for someone to write a check to and take care of all the deals. They want to be a part of the process.”
First starting out of Ed-
monton, Alberta, Canada, McCaa said their model has proven so popular they reach all major parts of the country and have started to expand into the United States in areas like Arizona and New York.
“It really took off in a positive way,” he said. “Our approach to the market and our approach to doing business and
construction projects was so unique and never been done before.”
As part of their expansion into
Kirkland, McCaa said they will be reaching out to existing contrac-tors.
“All of them, every single one of them, prob-ably have some challenges to dominate the market,” he said. “The challenge is what we offer from a business perspective. Even if they’re the num-ber one home builder
in Kirkland it’s almost inevitable they’re gone up and down with the times. People might assume because the economy’s rising, property values are going up. What happens when there’s so much de-mand? Business failures, because they take on too much work and it’s hard to deliver on expecta-tions.”
One benefit for con-tractors working with Alair, he said, is that it will benefit them when seeking tradesmen, such as electricians, bricklay-ers, and plumbers, to complete specific tasks on a project.
“They would want to work with the most repu-table builders possible,” he said. “When they do a good job, their reputa-tion still is on the line for the contractor who hires them for the project. They want to work with

[ ALAIR from page 8] Taxable retail sales up 9.4 percent
� e state’s taxable retail sales made in the second quarter of 2015, April 1 through June 30, reached $33.9 billion, a 9.4 percent increase over the same quarter in 2014. Figures for the retail trade industry, which is a subset of all taxable retail sales made in the state, show an 8 percent increase over the same time period last year. � e retail trade comprised $15 billion of the state’s
total taxable retail sales.� ese data come from
reports released by the Washington State Depart-ment of Revenue each quarter. � e reports com-pare the second quarter year-over-year to equalize any seasonal e� ects of consumer purchasing behavior.
Revenue categorizes the state’s taxable retail sales using the North American Industry Classi� cation System, the same method federal statistical agencies use to classify businesses for the purpose of analyzing data related to the economy.
Second Quarter 2015 snapshot:
· Sales of vehicles and auto parts jumped 11.14 percent to $3.85 billion.
· Purchases in building materials and gardening stores rose 11.38 percent to $1.76 billion
· General merchandise stores reported $2.62 billion in taxable sales, up 4.66 percent
· Figures from accom-modations, restaurants and bars statewide increased 10.64 percent to $4 billion
� ird quarter 2015 data should be available in late January 2016.
the contractor with a more streamlined process and transparency and comes in on time and on budget.”
Hopewell said they will also help contractors accli-mate themselves to the Alair model.
“Because our processes are quite di� erent from standard construction, some of our processes and procedures are di� erent for those with 30 years of experience,” he said. “We have a di� erent mindset, a di� erent way of thinking.”
Meanwhile, the local housing market continues to grow, according to Evergreen Home Loans Vice President Don Zender, who said they have also seen a rise in loans for custom homes.
“Starting in 2016 it’s going to be another busy year,” he said. “Kirkland is still con-sidered one of the premier places to be. It’s not slowing down. We may not go at such a crazy pace, but it’s de� nitely not slowing down.”
Zender added that there are numerous advantages for both customers as well as the community where the home is built. For the community,
a custom home brings the value up, as it tends to be an upgrade compared to the adjacent houses.
Like McCaa and Hopewell, Zender said the customers are usually more knowledge-able and are attracted to the level of control it o� ers.
“You’re going to put the footprint of the home exactly as you want,” he said. “You get to pick everything out, starting from the foundations to the � nishing trim on the doors. You get to put what you want where you want, and then you’re going to get the opportunity to really control the costs.”
He added that another bene� t of custom home building is that the customer gets to choose who will actu-ally build the home to ensure it is built properly.
In order to get a loan for a custom home, Zender said, the client has to have the drawings or the blueprints of the home, which they can either purchase or modify themselves. � e builder must also be approved by the bank.
However, despite Kirk-land’s housing boom, McCaa said it is certainly bene� cial,
but not the underlying reason for their decision to open an o� ce in the city, as they are opening 25-30 other o� ces in other parts of the state.
“Obviously I think if it’s from a timing perspective, would we prefer to be in Kirkland when it’s going, but we’re coming there if it’s going down,” he said. “We feel like now our model is going to work in every market. We’ve proven this in the smallest towns to the biggest cities in the world.”
In fact, during the housing crash in 2007-2008, Hopewell said the company still man-aged to grow.
“We know the model is working,” he said. “� ere were still people retiring. � ere were still people building homes. When we sit down with a client, and we explain standard construc-tion and what we do, 75 percent of the time they move on with us. � at percentage is staggering. It’s only because the communication and the processes are there. � ey want to be involved in the build.”For more information visit www.alairhomes.com.

Early results from the general election have incumbent Chris Carlson and challenger Eric Laliberte winning their respective races for the Lake Washington School District Board positions.
Carlson defeated chal-lenger Rob Tepper for Position No. 2, garnering 14,789 votes, 67.89 percent overall, to Tepper’s 6,938 votes or 31.85 per-cent of the overall vote. Carlson has served two terms already on the board.
Laliberte de-feated � ve-term incumbent Jackie Pendergrass for Position No. 1, with 13,194 votes and 58.27 percent, while Pendergrass received 9,394 votes and 41.49 percent.
Laliberte, who serves on the Kirkland Planning
Commission, said the most important thing for them moving forward is to now
focus on address-ing the school’s increasing problem � nding space for new students, as well as putting together a bond proposal that will � nally be approved by voters,
“We’re at the point where something has to happen or else we’re going to be in real trouble,” he said.
In addition to the bond proposal, Carlson said that he wants to continue work-ing on providing more opportuni-ties for students to determine how they receive their education
“It’s not that every school has to
be labeled a choice school, but expanding choices for middle schools and high schools across the district,” he said. “With choices schools you’re
not choosing rigor…what you’re choosing is the lens through which your child chooses their education. I think we’ve got a good job of meeting the STEM lens, I’d like to see us in the next term bring in some � ne art.”
Tepper told the Reporter that he is “completely content” with the outcome, saying that he felt impor-tant issues were raised that will improve the board’s performance.
“It’s a completely thank-less job that I would have been terri� c at, but I imagine I did a good job at opening the eyes of the present school board,” he said. “I really feel like they thought they were doing a wonderful job, and the truth of the matter is that they were far from won-derful. I think now over the next year or two they’re going to attack their job with a lot more vigor and we’ll all be better o� for it.”
Phone calls to Pender-grass seeking comment were not returned by the Reporter’s deadline.

Real people caring about your insurance needs. How can we help you?

On Monday, more than 600 elected officials, business
owners, nonprofit agency representatives and oth-ers from the greater East-side gathered to discuss the future of the region.
The event was held at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue and was the final event for host orga-nization Leadership East-side’s (LE) 10th anniver-sary celebration. Those in attendance included Kirkland City Council members, Mayor Amy Walen, Rep. Joan Mc-Bride, Rep. Larry Spring-er and newly elected King County Councilwoman Claudia Balducci, among many others.
Throughout the work-ing lunch — as modera-tor and LE CEO James Whitfield dubbed it — attendees were asked to discuss and voice the issues they feel are most pressing for the Eastside and need to be addressed. Whitfield — along with LE board chair Jeff Bor-gida — stressed to the audience how impor-tant their thoughts and opinions are about the Eastside’s future.
“Today’s event is about you and what you think,” Borgida said.
The afternoon started with attendees sharing their most pressing issues of concern with their tablemates. Following these discussions, attend-ees dispersed into caucus groups to discuss things further in seven specific areas: arts and culture,
basic needs, economy, health and wellness, environment, education and neighborhoods and community building.
During the arts and culture breakout session, participants discussed arts in schools and how it is not being prioritized.
Una McAlinden said the funding districts receive goes into a general fund.
� e money is not speci� ed for any particular subject or department and she said one of the biggest issues is that funding the arts — even though it is a core subject — is not pri-oritized at the local level.
“In many cases, (dis-tricts are) not putting money into the arts,” she said.
In the health and well-ness breakout session, one area of concern that was brought up was men-tal health among youth and teens. Participants discussed how diagno-
ses have to be taken just as seriously as other diagnoses such as cancer. They also expressed con-cern about how parents don’t always know how to deal with mental health issues either.
“It’s really tough being a kid,” one participant said during the discus-sions.
One of the things the environment group discussed was how they wanted to see more focus on a reduced use, per capita, of natural resources. They also discussed how protecting the environment cannot only create more sustain-able cities, but can also help attract businesses to the area.
With basic needs, participants discussed a website that acts as a central location for various resources and how impor-tant it is to have it translated into multiple languages in order to be acces-sible to as many people as possible. They also said it is important to teach parents and families how to work the system so they can advocate for themselves.
In the neighborhoods and community building group, transportation was a big topic of discus-sion. One participant said having services such
as a light rail station and line close to where she lives or works may be nice but that convenience becomes more compli-cated if she can’t park her car nearby. Members of this group said they would also like to see more affordable housing in the area.
Those in the education group voiced the impor-tance of acknowledging that you cannot approach education with a one-size-fits-all mindset — from everything ranging from teaching style to discipline. They also discussed the value of volunteers but how dif-ficult it can be to get and retain willing and able individuals as most par-ents work during the day nowadays. In response to this, some people sug-
gested tapping into the senior citizen or recently retired population who do have the time
to volunteer.While discuss-
ing the economy, group participants focused on livable-wage jobs as well as the importance of public-private collabora-tions when it comes to economic development.
Following these break-out sessions, highlights from the seven caucus groups’ discussions were shared with the entire room. The crowd was then asked to vote on which issue is most im-portant to them in each category. These issues were determined based on what was brought up during the breakout ses-sions.
Whitfield told attend-ees that their feedback and input will drive LE’s Civic Incubator to drive innovation and collabo-ration in the Eastside’s future.

BY TJ MARTINELL
Kirkland voters rejected Proposition No. 1, which would have a metropolitan park district (MPD) to fund the Aquatic and Recreation Center (ARC), with nearly 65 percent voting “no.”
The proposed MPD, which garnered 5,237 votes compared to the 9,422 op-posing it, was pitched to the community by the city as a flexible and viable way for funding the ARC, as many of the costs are still unknown.
Rick Whitney, who helped spearhead the opposition campaign, said that while he is elated that voters down turned the taxing district, he said he is sad that it hasn’t brought them closer to build-ing an aquatic center.
“It was a validation, and yet I feel bad because I know the guys on the other side, they have good intentions,” he said. “They thought their cause was a worthy one, and I do feel bad for them, but we’ll work together and
come up with a way to fund a good aquatic center. This isn’t the end of the aquatic center. This is just the end of an ill-conceived funding mechanism.”
Rob Martin, who helped spearhead the Yes on Prop. 1 campaign, said he was obvi-ously disappointed but hopes they are able to find another way to get an aquatic center funded.
“We still believe strongly in the need for these fa-cilities, but at this point that’s pretty much all there is to say,” he said. “What the elec-tion taught is there are some things that clearly the citizens of Kirkland are not in favor of. That’s a lesson learned and we should be wise to listen to that and figure out what might be possible.”
Many councilmembers, including Mayor Amy Walen, expressed this disap-pointment in the proposi-tion’s failure, as well.
“The community brought us the idea of an aquatic center for Kirkland, and all
the public feedback we got was that they were sup-portive. When we called the question, they said no. But our work plan item was to give the public the chance to vote on an aquatic and recreation center. And we did that. The campaign worked really hard. I feel badly for them, because they worked really hard and you know just deeply held belief that this was the right thing for our city.”
“We did the best job we could putting together a package that would work for an aquatic center,” Council-member Dave Asher said. “The community rejected it. I’m sorry that that happened but now we’re moving on.”
Much of the criticism aimed at the proposed MPD by detractors was also the same aspects touted by proponents, chief of which was the funding flexibility that would have allowed the district to set an appropriate tax rate based on the total costs of the ARC. However,
critics said the lack of speci-ficity would create a “blank check” for the City Council, which would serve as the MPD governing body under a planned interlocal agree-ment. Although the MPD would have created a citizen advisory board and required they allow an advisory vote for major expenditures, crit-ics nevertheless pointed out that the advisory vote would not have been legally binding and the MPD could only be dissolved by the board itself.
Walen said that the MPD’s flexibility was the only way for them to appropriate the funds to build the kind of center the public demanded of them.
“I was just sad that people were questioning the motives of the councilmembers who worked really hard and put a lot of thought into it,” she said. “That’s not Kirkland.”
The results have the city back at the drawing board for possible ways moving forward to fund the ARC, though some city officials say
other priorities will have to take precedence for the time being.
“I think we’ve always been very responsive to the community,” Walen said. “I haven’t had a chance to talk to my colleagues yet about the results, so it’ll just be a conversation for the coming months.”
Toby Nixon, who ran unopposed in this year’s election, said for now he thinks the city should focus on getting a bond measure passed as part of the city’s renewed efforts to improve fire and EMS services in the northern neighborhoods. If they do attempt to address the ARC again, he said, one of the biggest challenges for them will be determining the precise reason why the MPD was rejected.
“It’s really hard to tell from the vote whether people were voting against the ARC as a concept,” he said, “because the point that people made that it would used by a rela-
tively small amount of people is a valid point. And so some people would say ‘I’m never going to use it so I don’t want to pay for it regardless of the funding mechanism.’ Some people said they would sup-port the aquatics center, but they didn’t like the funding mechanism because it had the potential to raise a lot more tax money than what would be necessary for the ARC itself.”
Because of this, he said, it’s hard to know what motivat-ed people to vote as they did.
“And that amount of uncertainty makes it hard to know what to do next,” he said.
City Manager Kurt Triplett said that the biggest disap-pointment for the city was how the focus was on the MPD as a taxing district rather than the benefits of the facility.
“That’s unfortunate,” he said, “because there’s some real need that won’t be met in the short term as a result
Failure of MPD puts plan for Kirkland aquatic center on hold
Kirkland Choral Society presents Bach at Bastyr
Kirkland Choral Society’s annual holiday concert takes place at 3 p.m. on Dec. 6 at Bastyr University Chapel in Kenmore. The Choral Society, with more than 100 members, will be joined by Philharmonia Northwest orchestra for a performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Magnificat, under the direc-tion of Dr. Glenn Gregg.
“This concert has special significance for us,” Gregg said, “as KCS last performed the Bach Magnificat fourteen years ago, at our inaugu-ral performance in Bastyr Chapel. It’s great to see how much KCS has grown and developed over the years. We’ve become one of the leading symphonic choirs in the Seattle area.”
Last month, KCS per-formed - along with more than 30 other local choirs - at the Seattle Sings choral fes-
tival at St. Mark’s Cathedral. KCS was the largest choir at the festival, and received high praise for their performance.
The partnership between Kirkland Choral Society and Philharmonia Northwest orchestra, now in its fourth season, has been a fruitful one. “We’ve done some of the great choral-orchestral masterworks together, and we plan to do a lot more,” Gregg said.
In March, 2016, KCS will join Philharmonia North-west for Beethoven’s beloved 9th Symphony at Benaroya Hall, and in May, the chorus
will perform the world premiere of a new work by one of the leading composers of our time, Ola Gjeilo, from Norway.
For the Dec. 6 concert, in addition to the Magnificat, the chorus will present an ar-ray of modern choral gems, including works by beloved composers Gjeilo, Chilcott, and Lauridsen, and the pre-miere of a new work by local composer Joy DeCoursey Porter.
“And, as always, we in-clude a sprinkling of favorite holiday carols,” Gregg said. “There’s something for every-
one at our holiday concerts—but get your tickets early, as this concert will likely be a sell-out.”
Individual and season tickets for Kirkland Choral Society concerts are avail-able through Brown Paper Tickets, by email at [email protected] or by calling (425) 442-9240.

BY TJ MARTINELL
The King County Prosecutor’s Office has charged a 20-year-
old Kirkland man with vehicular assault and reckless endangerment for allegedly striking a woman and man in downtown Kirkland with his motorcycle.
Gavin D. Ogier is ac-cused of allegedly riding his motorcycle down Lake Street South on June 10 and hitting two Bellevue residents, a 29-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man, along with two of her dogs, while they were in the crosswalk next to the Ben and Jerry’s, accord-ing to police documents. Prosecutors are requesting bail be set at $25,000.
The Kirkland Police Department investigation into the incident included numerous statements by wit-nesses, one of whom stated seeing Ogier just moments before the collision allegedly riding recklessly down Lake Street and weaving in and out of traffic by passing ve-hicles in the oncoming lane. One witness reported the suspect revving his engine
so loudly she had to cover her ears.
The collision allegedly occurred when a vehicle in front of Ogier stopped at the crosswalk at the intersection of Second Avenue South for the victims and their dogs. Ogier then drove around the vehicle, going at least 40 mph in a 25 mph zone, according to several witnesses, only to drop his motorcycle when he collided into the victims and the dogs.
Prosecutors allege that Ogier then appeared to “attempt to ride off on his motorcycle” and was only stopped by witnesses who prevented him from leaving.
“He did not seem con-cerned with the group he had struck, but bemoaned his motorcycle,” the prosecu-tor’s charging documents assert.
The female victim suf-fered from numerous torn ligaments and head injuries, while the male victim suf-fered abrasions and bruising on his left leg and right hip. One of the woman’s dogs had soft tissue damage, while the other suffered a severe spine injury.
Police interviewed Ogier,
who allegedly told them he didn’t have his driver’s license on him. They later discovered that while he had a driver’s license and the motorcycle was registered in his name, he did not have a motorcycle endorsement nor did he have liability insur-ance.
Following his arrest and transport to the Kirkland Justice Center, the suspect told officers that he did not want to come to a complete stop at the crosswalk because it was a hassle, the docu-ments continue. He then in-sisted that it was an accident and he did not know why he was being arrested. He also inquired as to what would happen to his motorcycle.
Despite significant physi-cal injuries, he refused medi-cal care and declined to go the hospital because he did not have medical insurance and had no money, which he had invested entirely in his motorcycle.
During questioning by police, the suspect told them he had anxiety and takes medication for it. He also said that he had diabetes but didn’t take insulin because he didn’t “want a doctor to tell
him that there is something wrong with him” and that he can “control it myself.”
The suspect was eventu-ally taken to Evergreen-Health hospital in Kirkland after repeatedly complaining of physical pain. During the ride there, the aid crew checked his blood-sugar level and found it to be nor-mal. The suspect was later found to have no drug or alcohol impairment.
During a search of his property, police found $1,200 in cash in his wallet, while his motorcycle was impounded and searched.
Although police officials initially said there wasn’t suf-ficient evidence to book him on hit and run, the forward-ed charges include hit and run for his alleged “complete disregard for human life by ignoring the victims he struck by attempting to pick
up his motorcycle numerous times and attempting to flee the scene.”
“His greatest concern was where his motorcycle, back-pack and his helmet were,” one officer’s report reads.
According to the prosecu-tors’ charging documents, Ogier has a history of driving without liability insurance and several times has failed to appear in court for legal matters.

I will be the first to go back to Chipotle
I have something I need to say about this Chipotle situation, and I swear I have no affiliation with them. I am just a custom-er and only an occasional one at that.
Everyone is getting all grossed out at their record of numerous outbreaks of food-borne illness. My husband came home last night saying he is so disgusted he will
never eat there again. Personally I will have no problem eating at Chipo-tle again, and I also worry that we are going to shoot ourselves in the foot by making too big a deal of this situation.
The reason, in my opinion, that Chipotle is having more run-ins with microbes is because they have been trying to do something different. They have been trying to offer a healthier alternative, fresh foods fast. Fresh foods, meaning veg-etables and less processed whole foods, are alive and unprocessed and are rich with nutritional and microbial life. With fresh eating comes the risk of encountering bacteria, some of it beneficial. Most of our bodies are well prepared to deal with all the organisms that
would be encountered through eating fresh. A minority of folks with compromised immune systems or the very young or very old are more like-ly to have some troubles. Isn’t it just a few dozen people that were infected this last time in the Wash-ington and Oregon epi-sode? I have compassion for their GI troubles (and risk of death, as the media has been emphasizing), of course, but let’s keep this in perspective.
Now Chipotle is going to undergo a widespread reconfiguring of their food safety systems. You know what that means? More sanitizer. More heat treatments. More process-ing. Few of our kitchens would pass the rigorous standards required by commercial establish-ments. Nor would we want to eat like this in our homes, because we would lose many of the benefits of home cooking. I say let’s be a bit careful in our outcry, lest we should punish the organizations that are trying to provide us with healthier options. It’s not easy to do fresh food fast. And do we really want to shut down the restaurants that are trying? I for one will be the first person back in the doors when Chipotle re-opens.Holly Tennant, Kirkland

BY AARON KUNKLER
A Bothell doctor’s medical license has been sum-
marily restricted by the Washington State Depart-ment of Health relating to allegations that he im-properly prescribed more controlled substances than any other doctor in the state, according to a press release from the Department of Health.
Dr. Daniel J. Riegel has been a doctor since 1989. He was reported initially in 2013 by his pre-vious employer, EvergreenHealth, which filed a com-plaint with the Depart-ment of Health, according to the charging statement.
A non-criminal charg-ing statement dated Oct. 30 names Riegel as the respondent in docu-ments filed by the state’s Medical Quality Assur-ance Commission, which accuse Riegel of violating Washington state law determining how pain medications are pre-scribed.
Riegel is alleged to have improperly prescribed
opioids for treating chronic non-cancer pain, not complying with prescription standards, prescribing high doses of narcotics based on pa-tient’s complaints without additional objective mea-sures or supportive find-ings, failing to provide close monitoring when prescribing long-acting opioids and writing prescriptions for patients suffering severe depres-sion or suicidal thoughts without ensuring they re-
ceived mental health treatment.
Riegel has 20 business days to appeal his license’s
restrictions, which prohibit him from
writing prescriptions for any controlled substanc-es. No criminal charges have been filed but the case has been referred to the federal Drug Enforce-ment Administration.
The charging statement alleges Riegel inadequate-ly documented patients’ states of health, and in at least one case, allegedly prescribed the stimulant Adderall without an elec-tronic record.
According to the charging statement,
Riegel allowed patients to routinely refill their nar-cotic painkiller prescrip-tions early, and did not perform urinanalysis on patients, or record their results to see if they were taking the medications themselves, and at proper dosages.
In another case, docu-mented in the charging statement, Riegel alleged-ly prescribed more than 6,700 mg of oxycodone, more than 11,750 mg of morphine, 84,000 mg of a muscle relaxer, 160 mg of hydromorphone and 450 mg of diazepam to a single patient over the course of 27 days for fi-bromyalgia and migraine relief.
Several of his patients were hospitalized due to life-threatening, narcotic-related conditions during the past few years, ac-cording to the charging statement.
Additionally, the state-ment alleges Riegel pre-scribed opioids to at least one patient who admitted to him he was using the medications to manage his depression instead of pain.
In another instance, the charging statement
alleges Riegel prescribed over 210 mg of oxycodo-ne per day to one patient who was using prescrip-tions from more than a dozen doctors and filling
them at multiple pharma-cies.
Following a 2013 investigation, the charg-ing statement said Riegel agreed to stop prescrib-
ing high levels of pain medication, which the Medical Quality Assur-ance Commission alleges he did not.
