No teacher cuts for LWSD, elementary class size increase

BY SAMANTHA PAK Reporter Newspapers

Kindergarten through fourthgrade class sizes and staff compensation at Lake Washington School District (LWSD) are the two areas that will be affected by state cuts for the district’s 2011-12 budget.

Business services coordinator Barbara Posthumus, who presented the proposed budget to school board members Monday evening, said the district plans to make up the $4.6 million shortfall by using levy funds and making

small reductions in staff at the K-4 level.

The good news is that the LWSD will avoid having to make any teacher layoffs as the staff reduction will be done through attrition, but the bad news is that K-4 class size will increase slightly.

According to a LWSD press release, student-teacher ratios at the K-4 level will increase by about one student per class. Kindergarten and first-grade staffing will change from 19-to-1 to 20-to1; second- and third-grades [ more LWSD page 5 ]

The $2.7 million lawsuit filed by Juanita substation neighbors against Puget Sound Energy (PSE) and the City of Kirkland has taken some turns during the past two months. The court ruled against the main EMF (electromagnetic field) evidence presented by the neighbors and Kirkland officials have petitioned for the case against the city to be thrown out. PSE also came forward with paperwork to start the process of paying for damage to the

homes, thanks to the construction of the substation.

“The court, we believe wrongly excluded the testimony of our expert that EMF was possibly carcinogenic.” said Michael Heslop, one of the neighboring residents involved in the suit. “We find this a bit puzzling because The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is an agency of the World Health Organization (WHO), classifies EMF as a 2B carcinogen (possibly carcinogenic to humans). This is the the same classification that IARC has assigned to [ more SUIT page 8 ]

crowd of spectators and two baseball teams helped usher in summer with a classic little league competition at Everest Park on June 15. The game celebrated the recent annexation of Kirkland with the firstever Little League City Championship.

The Kirkland National “Brewers” took the trophy with a 12-4 win over the Kirkland American “Athletics,” but everyone shared the excitement of sunshine, hot dogs, and sportsmanship.

Mayor Joe McBride kicked off the game, thanking the fans and players on behalf of the

Kirkland City Council. “I am honored to be here,” she said, and then led the boys in the Little League Pledge.

A full season, plus four tournament games prepared the teams for the title determining game.

and do the best we can.

The boys seemed to respond to that very well.”

The Brewers responded very well, clinching the lead from the first two innings, during which they scored five runs to the A’s one. During the third inning, the A’s almost matched the Brewers’ lead, scoring two more runs for a 5-3 score halfway through the game, but the Brewers surged ahead, scoring seven more runs in the final three innings.

“The Brewers are an excellent team,” said Corky Trewin, manager for the A’s. “They pitched well, hit well, caught the ball well and were very well coached.”

Both teams entered the competition prepared to compete, but also ready to [ more KIRKLAND page 7 ]

Seafair Pirates to invade meeting at Heritage Hall The Seattle Seafair Pirates will invade the Kirkland Heritages Society’s meeting at 7 p.m. on June 29 at Heritage Hall, 203 Market St. The pirates will reveal their beginnings and update their activities.

The Seattle Seafair Pirates are a voluntary group of people started in 1949 by the members of the Washington State Press Club. They joined together with other community leaders to create Seattle’s first Seafair Festival in 1950.

The Seafair Pirates was founded in 1949 by some of the younger members of the Ale & Quail Society. The group was created

to help provide some entertainment and to promote the Seafair festival in Seattle, Washington. The Seafair Pirates are a dedicated group who take their roles as pirates seriously. There is a rigorous process to even being considered when joining the group, as they only want individuals who will dedicate themselves. They are present at the Seafair parades during the summer months, and the boom of their cannons warn the crowd that they are coming.

The group entertains and raise funds for different charities all year. The Pirates charities include their own Holiday Treasure Chest Fund, which provides food, toys and good cheer to families in need. Every Christmas thousands of toys are delivered to families along with food for the holidays.

Substation fire causes 25,000 outages across Eastside

Cleanup and restoration efforts continue in the aftermath of a large fire that broke out last week at a Puget Sound Energy substation in Redmond.

Martha Monfried, director of Corporate Communications for PSE, said Tuesday it will be a few weeks before the utility’s investigative team determines what caused a high-voltage transformer — filled with 15,000 gallons of non-toxic mineral oil — to go up in flames at the Sammamish substation on June 16. Monfried said PSE will have final cost estimates of the damage caused by the fire next week, saying that “the transformer alone costs $3 million and $1 million more in equipment to install.”

There will be additional costs in the cleanup and transformer replacement efforts, Monfried said.

The state Department of Ecology was at the substation last Friday, advising contractors doing cleanup, but are no longer on site. PSE’s environmental consultant, Geo Engineers, Inc. along with PSE environmental and engineering teams are leading the cleanup and replacement project, along with providing regular reports to Ecology, according to Larry Altose, spokesman more story online… for Ecology. kirklandreporter.com Kathryn Reith, the district communications director.

She also said phones were down for a while at Rose Hill Junior in Redmond and Mark Twain Elementary in Kirkland. The LWSD Resource Center, located in the Redmond Town Center, ran on emergency power during the outage.

Busses were delayed in getting out of the bus barn for the afternoon run as the fire was very near the LWSD support services offices,

which is located at 15212 NE 95th St., just off of Willows Road.

“Redmond PD was wonderful, they helped us in creating a route to get busses out,” Reith said. “Busses may be delayed because of the traffic issues in the area, so we are letting parents know right now.”

The Sammamish substation is a larger facility that serves smaller station in the area, according to the PSE official.

fire that broke out at a Puget Sound Energy electrical substation in Redmond on June 16 caused 25,000 power outages across the region, including Kirkland.

PSE spokesperson Allison Stanford said the company was notified that a fire broke out at approximately 12:30 p.m. in the 9800 block of Willows Road at the Sammamish Substation in Redmond. The fire caused power outages for 25,000 customers across the Eastside.

“PSE crews have redirected that power and restored 16,000 customers within an hour of the incident,” she said. PSE crews restored power to the remaining customers later that day.

Officials said there were no hazardous materials concerns, no injuries and no criminal activity they were aware of.

Redmond fire officials said mineral oil, which is a non-toxic substance used as a coolant and conductor in the substation transformer, caught fire and fueled the flames. The Redmond Fire Department responded to the scene, but could not use water to douse the flames

“The power went out quickly and then it came back on and then went out immediately,” said Trevor Johnson, an employee at Microsoft Corp., which was evacuated following the power outage.

Meanwhile, Andrew Hassard, vice president of Service Communications, Inc., was walking back to his office alongside of Willows Road, which was backed up for miles in both directions. He said his office shut down the servers and he headed over to the substation to check out the scene.

“I wandered down there and told everyone they can go ahead and go home,” said Hassard after he saw the fire and took a photo of it using his iphone from 100 feet away. “We’re going to be out of power for quite some time.”

Power was also shut down at several Lake Washington School District schools, including Lakeview Elementary, International Community School and BEST in Kirkland and Ben Rush Elementary in Redmond, according to

EDITORIAL

Personal fireworks could make your Fourth fizzle

A

Yes: 50% No: 50%

nyone who has been in the Kingsgate, Juanita or Finn Hill neighborhoods of Kirkland at night recently knows that the new fireworks ban is not being observed by all of its residents.

Even if annexation had never passed, fireworks would not be allowed this early. Cracks, booms and bangs are already being heard and it makes many worry that a great number of residents are already ignoring the law.

But the repercussions for such actions will make your day, week or even year fizzle faster than a wet wick.

At first sight of the rockets red glare Kirkland Police may just confiscate the fireworks. Kirkland Police Department spokesman Rob Saloum said the city’s main focus is to educate citizens and make sure they understand and are aware of the law.

But depending on the individual situation, the penalties can also be as severe as a citation and fine all the way up to being charged with a class C felony for outlawed fireworks. A perpetrator can also be held personally responsible for damage to property resulting from the discharging of fireworks.

The social discussion about personal fireworks has also been an explosive one. Those who love seeing the sparks in the sky and the exhilaration of a a M-80, argue that it takes away their freedom to celebrate our freedom in a way of their choosing. The tradition of personal fireworks has been around for decades and without it the holiday does not seem the same to some.

For others, the sound of a Saturn-Missle Battery makes them cringe in fear for their possessions, no matter how remote, as a stray rocket could set their house ablaze. Some who have pets or very small children feel that it infringes on their rights as the noise and bright lights can make keeping the unaware calm. The noise results in many pets running away from their owners each year. To report a lost dog or cat call the King County Regional Animal Services at 206-296-7387.

Question of the week:

?

“Do you plan to go on vacation this summer?�

Vote online: www.kirklandreporter.com

Last week’s poll results: “Are you satisfied with the candidates who filed for seats on the Kirkland City Council?�

No matter where you fall in that debate, the fact remains that the law restricts all personal fireworks within Kirkland City limits.

City officials encourage people who observe violators to call 425577-5656. Emergency situations should be restricted to 9-1-1.

Kirkland is one of the dwindling numbers of cities to still hold a public fireworks display, along with a community parade through downtown. “Celebrate Kirkland!�is a great tradition for many residents. The event is still attempting to reach its goal of $60,000 for the fireworks display held at Marina Park in downtown Kirkland and is a great alternative to personal fireworks. Many choose to donate to the cause instead of breaking the law to buy their own. The city encourages those who intend to attend the festivities to carpool or ride mass transit for both the parade and the fireworks.

There is parking available at Marina Park from 6 a.m. to midnight, Heritage Park from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Lake Street will be closed on the Fourth of July. The Marina Park boat launch will also be closed from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the parade and again from 9:30-11 p.m. for the fireworks. And alcohol is not allowed in public spaces, including parks.

The fireworks display will be blasted off from a barge on Lake Washington and will begin at approximately 10:15 p.m. July 4.

No matter what you do to celebrate this Fourth of July, do it with safety in mind. The fifth of July should not be reserved for checking out of a hospital.

I just finished reading the letters to the editor in the latest issue of the Reporter. Sounds like there are a few sour grapes that were previously against annexation and are still trying to fight it. It seems to me that regardless of whether there was 60 percent approval or 59 percent approval - and yes I am well aware of the RCW dealing with annexation - that a majority of the people in the annexation area were for the annexation.

The 60 percent would have made the annexation official, without action by the city. So, the council voting my area into the city was actually a vote for the majority and I believe, majority still rules. So, we’re now a part of Kirkland. Get over it.

It most certainly will be a relief to have the immediacy of Kirkland City Hall versus the more impersonal response of a downtown Seattle King County government. I don’t mean to put King County down as they have enough problems they must solve.

King County, particularly the urban unincorporated areas, encompasses a large physical area with hundreds

of thousands of people to serve and with all the problems engendered by such a population. With King County in a position where they must face a decreasing ability to serve that population means they would be in a reduced position to service the area annexed by Kirkland.

I have also noticed an increase in police vehicles in the Kingsgate neighborhood, hooray! And I applaud their enforcing the law.

Enforcing traffic regulations does not constitute a police state unless of course you are one of the violators. I for one applaud the Kirkland Police Department. Traffic violators cause accidents and causalities. I agree that there was a visible lack of law enforcement previously under King County, but that visual lack of officers also meant they weren‚Äôt there when a life-safety issue was involved. I somehow don’t find that to be a positive factor. Personally, I’m glad to see an increase in police presence and protection in my area and I most certainly don’t look at it as a police state. One last note, if you check with the city, I think you’ll find that there really are quite a bit fewer Kirkland police officers than there are residents in your area.

This of course is my personal opinion and obviously is in disagreement with the authors of the letters in last week’s edition. Kirkland needs an “at-a-boy/girl� for a job well done.

Thank you Kirkland.

Dick Fredlund, Kirkland

Annexation process was legal and fair There have been a number of letters, including the one by Mr. Bonin, suggesting that the will of the people in the annexation area were overridden by the city council when it approved the annexation and that the annexation process was unfair for the residents of the pre-annexation Kirkland. So, some comments: t .PSF UIBO QFSDFOU PG UIF WPU ers in the annexation area approved of the annexation. t * IBWF TFFO OPUIJOH UP TVHHFTU that state law was violated during the annexation process.

Kirkland, as it was before this probably last annexation, was the product of a series of annexations. In that context, who really are the original residents?

Bob Thompson, Kirkland

City should revisit tree cutting policy There were a line of seven trees cut on what seems to be on public land, at the southern corner Northeast 60th Street and 104 Avenue Northeast, in the Houghton area near some lots getting ready to be developed.

These seven healthy trees, as far as I can tell, were not on these properties, but on an easement along a gravel road.

After talking to the Kirkland Planning Department, I was told that permits were issued for their removal. It was my understanding that there was a density clause with regard to cutting trees of certain sizes and limited to only a certain number within a prescribed area. Who justified cutting a line of seven large and medium trees down, all next to each other? I pass these trees often, on my walks, and find the destruction totally unnecessary. The tree stumps are an ugly reminder of someone’s disregard to fostering or natural surroundings, a real shame.

Woman extradited, charged with poisoning death of boyfriend

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

A

Redmond woman was extradited from Great Britain last week and charged with first-degree murder in the poisoning death of a Kirkland man.

Janjira Smith, 56, is being held in King County Jail on $5 million bail for the crime.

Prosecutors allege Smith killed Roger Lewis, her former boyfriend and severely injured a woman using an insecticide, methomyl, to poison a bottle of alcohol the two drank from in a Kirkland apartment in 2006. The other woman involved in the poisoning has recovered from the incident, but a separate charge of second-degree assault were brought against Smith for the woman’s injuries.

Smith had recently been in an 18-month relationship with Lewis, who took a trip to the Philippines and met another woman.

Upon his return to Kirkland, he informed Smith he was going to marry the other woman, according

to court documents. “Smith reportedly did not receive the news well,� charging papers said.

Smith repeatedly begged for Lewis to take her back with no results.

Smith contacted the woman in October of 2006 and told her that Lewis liked to drink alcohol.

Smith said that she would send over a bottle of Jägermeister with a friend and urged the woman to have Lewis drink the alcohol before they went out that night and to have a good time. A friend of the female victim had reportedly told her that the bottle might be poisoned.

Later that night the woman poured Lewis a full shot glass of the alcohol and he drank the contents. The woman also had a smaller amount of the alcohol, according to the Kirkland Police Department’s investigation.

The woman told investigators that she immediately felt ill, lost her sight and blacked out. The two victims were found the next day by a friend. Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene and the woman

The woman was diagnosed with having a stroke from lack of oxygen to the brain and was temporarily blind.

Smith told police that she purchased the bottle of alcohol at a Redmond liquor store and had opened it and stored it in

her freezer prior to the incident.

After being contacted by police, Smith flew to Los Angeles in order to locate an attorney should she be arrested. The woman subsequently flew to Thailand with tickets purchased for her by her daughter. Smith was arrested in Great Britain in 2008 for the murder and has fought the extradition ever since.

Arraignment is set for July 5 at King County Superior Court.

The public is invited to provide ideas for a new “gathering place� in the 132nd Square Park (pictured) on June 25. CONTRIBUTED

Help design special gathering place in Kirkland park Saturday, June 25 is the first of several community events where the public will provide ideas and inspiration for a new “gathering place� in the 132nd Square Park.

This event and the development and building of this new park feature come as the result of a grant awarded

by Tully’s Coffee and the Pomegranate Center to the Totem Lake/Kingsgate neighborhoods.

This project is a “designbuild� project that will be

completed by the end of September. Outreach to and participation by the entire community is key to the success of the project and will ensure the resulting feature is reflective of the community’s needs and creativity.

The community design event will begin at 10 a.m. on June 25 at the LDS Church across the street from the park (13220 N.E. 132nd St., Kirkland). It begins with a two-hour session and includes a tour of the park site, then active input and ideas from all members of the community. From 12-4 p.m., volunteer professionals will work with the community input to create design concepts.

PSE has declined to comment on the proceedings while it is in litigation.

Judge Mary I. Yu ruled in favor of PSE that the EMF levels were inadmissible in court because the medical or scientific testimony that the levels were too high was not reliable and did not reach the standard set by a previous case, according to court documents. The ruling came nearly two weeks after the Reporter’s story on the city being included in the lawsuit against PSE, which was broke

that the neighbors decided not to appeal the variance because their then-attorney advised them that it would cost them more than $100,000.

In addition, the city said in the motion that the neighbors claim of inverse condemnation does not meet the legal requirements.

The neighbors have filed a response to the city’s motion and a hearing on these issues is scheduled for next Friday.

Substation neighbors did get good news on May 15 when they received payment for physical damage to the homes caused by the construction of the substation. PSE originally denied that the construction damaged the homes, but relented when a third party assessed the damage. The check for just under $64,000 is to be split between seven of the nine homeowners and brings to a close just one of the issues between the two parties.

The lawsuit was originally filed against PSE in September, and then the city was added in March, for the Juanita PSE substation that was built at 10910 N.E. 132nd St. and borders 11 homes. Only nine of the homeowners are included in the lawsuit that asserts the substation has devalued the homes by 50 percent and EMFs encroach on the property, potentially causing physical harm.

During the 2010-2011 Rotary year, the Rotary Club of Kirkland Downtown (RCKD) strengthened its partnership with Juanita High School through its Vocational Services Committee.

RCKD continued its Student of the Month program, supported the Juanita Jazz Club and Honor Society, awarded $3,000 in college scholarships to three outstanding students, and started an Interact Club at the school.

The Student of the Month program recognizes nine outstanding seniors at Juanita High School for their contributions to the community and school.

Collectively, these students have volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club, Race for t he Cure, Tent City, Youth Migrant Project; built homes in Tijuana, Mexico; Girl Scouts, NW Harvest, and HopeLink, just to list a few.

Many are also involved in leadership positions and sports, while maintaining a high GPA. These students were then eligible to compete for college scholarship money.

At around the same time, he started working with the Mercer Island basketball program, as a volunteer coach and found a passion. “I just got this desire to see what I could do with coaching,� he said. “A situation popped up with the Sonics where I was sort of hitting my head on the ceiling as far as progressing with my career and I just thought, you know what?

I’m going to go for it.� He left the Sonics and headed back to BCC where he volunteered as a coach, then became the athletic director and then the head coach. “I more or less hired myself at BCC and had really good success,� said Turner. “I then had an opportunity to coach in the CBA. When I left the Sonics I wouldn’t say that I never had aspirations of coaching in the NBA, but it wasn’t a realistic goal. I thought the CBA was obtainable. At the time the CBA was the equivalent of the what D-league is now.�

Eastside mayors discuss light rail, business during forum

BY CELESTE GRACEY Reporter Newspapers

Eastside mayors weighed in on Bellevue’s lightrail drama and plans for downtown development at a forum June 16.

Five cities were represented at the Bellevue Downtown Association event, but mayors from Redmond and Issaquah were unable to attend.

The most anticipated topic was the development of light rail on the Eastside.

Residents in Sammamish

pay about $10 million into Sound Transit coffers and are lucky to see a bus pass through town, said mayor Don Gerend. “We’re not too enthused about Sound Transit’s long-term plans.”

In contrast, Mercer Island Mayor Jim Pearman was pleased that the rail was coming through the island, envisioning at some point increased traffic could support a hotel.

Bellevue’s Mayor Don Davidson continued to stand by his commitment to the B7 line, a route which

differs from Sound Transit’s preferred location.

Support for B7 split the otherwise agreable council, and has been the cause of an unusual amount of drama.

Kirkland empathizes with Bellevue’s situation, said Mayor Joan McBride, whose comments on the topic were limited to, “I’m glad it’s not Kirkland.”

Considering Seattle’s drama over the Alaskan Way Viaduct, when it comes to transportation projects someone will always be unhappy, said Bothell Mayor

Mark Lamb. “I think it’s important to put that in context.”

With Bellevue’s new towering skyline as an example of what city planning can bring about, moderator James Whitfield asked mayors what their downtown plans are.

Sammamish doesn’t want to look as urban as Bellevue, Gerend said. The youngest city, it just now has plans to zone a downtown area and to build a community center.
