Geoffrey Castle’s 8th Annual St. Patrick’s Eve event coming to KPC

BY KEEGAN PROSSER Reporter Newspapers

Playing violin is cool. At least that’s what Geoffrey Castle wants you to think.

And if you’ve heard – or seen him – shredding on his sixstring electric violin, you’d probably agree.

A seasoned performer who has called the Northwest home for nearly 15 years, Castle fell in love with music whilst growing up in Alexandria, Va. Raised on the music of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, Castle knew at an early age he wanted to be a rockstar. When Castle’s friends formed a garage band in high school, he knew he wanted a piece of the action.

The catch? He wanted to play violin.

“They had Marshall amps and I had an acoustic violin – there was no contest,” Castle said about trying to play with the band.

Makeshift amplifiers and speaker connections did the trick for awhile, but Castle knew it was time to invest in the real deal. He purchased his first electric violin during his senior year.

After high school, Castle moved to New York City, where he attended Columbia

Goodman – a legislator for six years with the 45th Legislative District – denies these claims vehemently, as he has been a longtime advocate for safe driving and DUI law reform.

“I would never put the safety of my children at risk,” Goodman said in an

email on March 1. “During Washington’s Initiative 502 a divorce, people tend to legalization. She signed the make all sorts of allegations declaration under penalty and oftentimes these of perjury under claims are unsupWashington law that ported and untrue.” her statements are Liv Grohn, Goodtrue and correct. man’s wife, filed for “From the begindivorce on Oct. 9, ning of our chil2012, but submitdren’s lives until the ted an 11-page present day, I have Roger Goodman declaration on Oct. been a full-time 4 detailing several stay-at-home parent instances in which while Roger has she believes Goodman was been increasingly dependent smoking marijuana, prior to and involved with the ‘other

However, it is Grohn’s statement that Goodman has repeatedly driven his children after being “stoned” that directly goes against [ more GOODMAN page 2 ]

Keeping tradition alive Longtime Kirkland resident Geoffrey Castle will play his six-string electric violin during the 8th Annual St. Patrick’s Eve Concert at the Kirkland Performance Center on March 16. COURTESY OF TIM MCGUIRE University – and paid his way via the money he made playing on the streets.

“It was the perfect college gig,” Castle says. “I made my own hours – and got paid in cash.”

While in New York City, Castle also got a taste for Broadway – standing in as one of three musicians in the Tony-award winning play “M. Butterfly.”

“They needed a violin player who could improvise

and play Chinese percussion,” Castle says.

Castle says most violin players aren’t trained to do that, but he knew if he wanted to set himself apart, improvisation was the way to go. As a result, Castle’s musical journey has been far from ordinary.

“I definitely took the road less traveled,” Castle says.

This road found him teaching himself how to play louder, more experi-

mental music than the stuff traditionally taught. Inspired

by French-born violinist Jean Luc Ponty, Castle has become known for his genre-bending blend of Celtic, blues, jazz and rock and roll – and for pushing the boundaries of traditionally “classical” music.

A performer for more than 30 years, Castle has self-released eight albums of original music, the most recent being a double disc

entitled the “Deep Well Sessions.”

When he’s not working on his own material, the veteran player also sits in with other musicians. Castle has performed – and recorded – with the likes of Alan White (Yes), Spike Edney (Queen), Jamie Moses (Queen, Bad Company), Tom Bowes (Tower of Power), Eric Bazilian (the Hooters), and more.

But for Castle, the best [ more CASTLE page 2 ]

Kirkland police help bust sex trafficking ring

BY CELINA KAREIVA Reporter Newspapers

Six were identified in a multi-state sex trafficking ring Monday, which included residential brothels in Bellevue and Kirkland.

That same day, four pled not guilty in U.S. District Court after a grand-jury indictment brought to a head a yearslong investigation.

“These defendants exploited vulnerable women immigrants to enrich themselves,” said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan in a release. “We will work with our partners to stop this exploitation.”

Unruean Aboulafia, a 34-year-old Bellevue resident believed to be working with her ex-husband, was accused of leading the operation, managing advertisements on the controversial website backpage.com. Apartments were leased in Bellevue, Kirkland, Chicago; Scottsdale, Ariz. and Falls Church, Va. Charging papers indicate that many of the women were from Thailand and were here illegally, having overstayed their tourist visas. Among them is Aboulafia, herself a Thai national.

Human trafficking has been of growing concern in Washington state, and in particular on the Eastside.

A number of cases involving immigrants have come to light in recent years. They are often at a greater risk, says Marie Hoffman of the Washington Anti-Trafficking Network, because of language and cultural barriers, a general mistrust or misunderstanding about law enforcements’ role and due to immigration status. Brothel operators may withhold paperwork and [ more RING page 10 ]

part about being a professional musician is playing live, as evident in the 250-plus shows he does each year.

In addition to traveling the country, Castle plays host for the weekly Monday Night Celtic Night party at Kirkland’s Wilde Rover Irish Pub – where he and co-host Dan Connolly play a variety of Celtic tunes. This month, Castle will also host the 8th Annual St. Patrick’s Eve Concert, taking place at

Celtic music has always been at the heart of Castle’s playing, and the show – which features a combination of rock and traditional Irish songs and dancing – has become a new tradition on the Eastside.

“So much of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day is about going out and getting drunk and puking green beer on somebody’s shoes. And there’s a lot more to Irish heritage than that,” Castle T:4.8”

says. “And that’s what my performance is really about.”

Castle says he finds Celtic music to be the type of passionate, emotional music he is inspired by. That’s why he started experimenting with it, and developed a show. And while drinking isn’t the focus, Castle insists there will be Jameson and Guinness available for those looking to loosen up a bit.

This year’s celebration will also serve as a release party for Castle’s newest album, “Celtic Night,” – a collection

An advocate for keeping the arts in schools, Castle spends much of his time on the road visiting schools and community centers to perform at assemblies and teach workshops. “I’d say it’s the most important thing I do,” Castle says.

He says it’s his goal to change the perceptions often associated with string players, to prove that even “macho” guys can play string instruments, and

several pieces of legislation Goodman has worked to uphold. “The first time I caught him driving while high was when (our daughter) was just a toddler,” Grohn writes. “He feigned remorse and said he’d had a ‘wake up call.’ Sadly I believed him.”

But in 2011, Grohn said she and the family were on their way to the beach. When Grohn walked out to the car, the children were buckled in but Goodman was missing. As she went to look for him, “Roger stumbled out from the side of the garage reeking of marijuana.”

“I felt completely sick,” Grohn said. “…

Roger then admitted that he had repeatedly and purposefully gotten stoned by the side of the house before driving the children. He stated empathically, once again, that he’d had a ‘wake up call’ but that the first ‘wake up call’ hadn’t really happened.”

The same day the divorce was filed, Grohn reported to Kirkland police a concern about her pending divorce and her estranged husband’s alleged “erratic behavior.” The report states her concerns were for the well-being of their two children, and includes information on their two vehicles.

Grohn alleges Goodman has continued to defend driving under the influence of marijuana. She claims that he said “it is far safer than driving drunk or talking on a cell phone, that he has never gotten in an accident while driving stoned, and that what he did was ‘totally safe’ and that I was stupid to be concerned,” wrote Grohn.

The couple’s parenting plan indicates Grohn is the only one who may drive the children between November 2012 through February 2013. And only if Goodman follows the terms of their agreement may he pick up the children, which is effective this April. Court documents did not include what the agreement is.

“It is unfortunate and I am saddened that Roger chose to make public statements about this private matter. My painful divorce declaration, signed under penalty of perjury, was intended to be, and to stay, private,” said Grohn in a statement to the Reporter on March 5. “It was written and filed with the court only after I had exhausted all other options to ensure the safety of our children.

I stand by every word in my declaration and I sincerely hope, for the sake of our children, that Roger will be able to get the professional help he needs to deal with his ongoing issues.”

But Goodman said “these allegations are simply false.”

“Never in my life have I been stopped or arrested for driving under the influence - or for any other offense,” he said in an email.

“As a long-time advocate of safe driving, I am devoted to the issue of safety on our streets and highways, just as I am devoted, as a father, to the health and well-being of my children.”

Goodman states that as part of the divorce proceedings, he “eagerly” volunteered to a “battery” of tests and assessments, including T:10”

that it’s nothing to be teased about.

“When I’m done, that kid in fifth grade, who is playing violin and getting teased, is the hero of the school,” Castle says.

As far as being an artist living in the Northwest, Castle says he couldn’t be more proud. “[The Northwest] has always been a place about innovating music,” Castle says.

“People are willing to take a little extra time to figure out something new.”

It’s a tradition that’s seeming to stand the test of time.

a comprehensive substance abuse evaluation and drug screening, to refute the allegations.

The findings were “unequivocal,” he says, and “there were no problems and issues whatsoever.”

Alternatively, Goodman’s emails submitted with the divorce filings state he has become “frustrated” by the use of Grohn’s cell phone while she drives. “If you continue to drive the kids while talking on the phone, it seems unfair and hypocritical to me, and I am in fact principally concerned for the children’s safety rather than trying to prove a point,” Goodman emailed to Grohn Sept. 7, 2012.

Rep. Larry Springer, who also serves the 45th District, said he doesn’t pay attention to allegations from a contentious divorce paper but the whole ordeal is a “sad state of affairs.”

“I’ve been around him with he and his kids in Kirkland and I’ve never seen a more dedicated father,” said Springer, who also notes he spends up to 10 hours a day for up to five months of the year with Goodman – they’ve worked together for six years – and he’s never seen anything true of what the allegations entail. “I think when you spend as much time with somebody as I do, you get to know their character. He is a tireless worker on behalf of his constituents, and one of the most effective legislators I’ve seen.”

However, in the same email Goodman accuses Grohn of talking on her cell phone while driving, Goodman also speaks of a former unknown habit.

“I understand you cannot trust me at this time,” he writes to Grohn, “despite the objective evidenc e. I understand how my past behavior and past deceptive statements before I quit the habit continue to give you pause and how everything from the past seems to be just the same to you even now. All I can say is that I am very capable of change and I am capable of highly disciplined behavior; and that I have truly changed and I am now extraordinarily disciplined in regard to any behavior or activity of mine about which you may have been concerned would endanger our children.”

Goodman has been at the forefront of advocating for marijuana legalization as well as a backer for decriminalizing marijuana.

It is this avenue that Kirkland Councilman and former State Rep. Toby Nixon met and befriended Goodman. More than 10 years ago, Nixon read a policy brief Goodman wrote for the King County Bar Association on the decriminalization of marijuana. Nixon, who is an advocate of marijuana legalization, believes in the nature of the law but says it is the 5-nanogram driving limit where his and Goodman’s opinions differ.

Nevertheless, Nixon said Goodman has never smoked anything in his presence. But since he has been good friends with Goodman’s family over the years, he cannot brush aside the divorce filings. “I’ve known them for a long time but I have never ever known Liv to lie about anything,” Nixon said. “For people to be tossing around accusations that she’s committed perjury, a felony, I think it’s just wrong.”

fter years of battling a common foot disability, planters fasciitis, a Kirkland woman became motivated to join the Parkplace 24 Hour Fitness so she could take part in their low-impact workout class and resume control of her health.

This is why Jody Montague was upset after 24 Hour Fitness moved to the Totem Lake neighborhood on Jan. 26 and cut their SilverSneakers classes – a soft impact, strength training class designed for older adults and those with disabilities.

It was a move that left Montague and other longtime members wondering how they could get their money back.

“Some of the people in my class have been going to that class for over eight years,” said Montague. “And when they closed the club down, they cancelled all the senior classes and all of their focus now is on intense workouts, which people with disabilities and seniors can’t do.”

ness – for the SilverSneakers classes.

“You’re saving money to be a part of 24 Hour Fitness and we did that because most people who are disabled or elderly are on a really fixed budget, so you can’t afford the higher prices for the more glamorous clubs,” said Montague. “It’s like their catering only to people that are wealthy and are intensely fit.”

The SilverSneakers program is for members who receive their gym membership through Healthways, a company designed to promote health and well being, which is often utilized by those with Medicare insurance. However, SilverSneakers classes are also open to regular gym members.

EDITORIAL

Reporting the private lives of public officials

A

s journalists, we spend much of our time in the gray, sorting out the ashes of political scandals and the fallout from unsubstantiated allegations.

One of the biggest questions we face in the newspaper industry is this: Does this story merit journalistic scrutiny?

Such was the case in this week’s front page headline regarding Rep. Roger Goodman’s contentious divorce. His estranged wife alleged that he drove stoned while his kids were in the car. He vehemently denied her claims.

Before our staff even headed to the courthouse to obtain the divorce documents in the case, we considered whether the public’s right to know such information outweighed the public official’s right to privacy.

We agree that, like private citizens, elected officials also deserve some privacy. But where do we draw the line?

We consulted with others in the community, including local legislators, and other fellow journalists. There were compelling arguments for both sides of the ethical issue.

It is sometimes difficult to draw a clear line between a story that is relevant and important to our readers and one that is sensational.

We agree that a divorce is a private matter. But what about an accusation that an elected official may have

broken the law?

If someone yelled these same allegations across the room at an event and our staff overheard them, we would not report on the matter if the elected official in question was not arrested or charged with the alleged crime. However, Goodman’s wife outlined these allegations in public documents under penalty of perjury - a felony. This raises the allegation to some degree, which warrants more scrutiny.

As a newspaper, we also have to look at the content of the allegations – substantiated or not – even if that means entering the so-called private sphere.

And when a matter involves a public official, we ask

ourselves whether an accusation intersects with the public’s business.

In this case, it did.

We ultimately decided to report on the issue since the substance of the allegations directly relate to Goodman’s legislation for safe driving, DUI law reform and marijuana legalization and decriminalization.

We take our role as public watchdog seriously. We vigilantly examine each story for news value. We want you to open the Reporter each week and find news that is relevant to the community, free from scandal, so you have the information you need to make the most informed decision.

Our LWSD tax dollars at work Ah, Lake Washington School District! You keep coming to my rescue when I need a pick-me-up!

Every month, a two-sided color flyer comes home with both of my elementary school children with the elementary lunch menu. It seems like it should be posted on the LWSD website, or sent home with only the youngest child, but every month it comes home with both of my children at the same school. I am still waiting to hear back from LWSD on the monthly cost of the flyer … Now let’s talk about the content on the flyer our tax dollars are paying for.

On the front is the LWSD lunch menu and on the back one finds recipes, the “Did you know?” section and inspirational tidbits. My February flyer contained spelling, grammatical, and just plain weird errors.

1. “Than and Now!” (the correct spelling is “then”) was the title of their informational article.

2. “Remember, according to 2010 guidelines from the …(CDC)….”

CDC guidelines were not discussed previously in this particular menu flyer. Perhaps the menus are meant to be read serially, like a monthly serial novel?

3. “This year lets all begin to be

more of a ‘sport man’ than merely a ‘sport fan!’” First of all, this is a really weird statement. Second of all, congratulations on not using contractions correctly. Divertingly, my first grade daughter handed me this menu flyer in the same pile as her contractions worksheet, which did include “let us-let’s.”

4. February’s recipe is for a sandwich. The first ingredient is “silvered” almonds. I have not heard of “silvered” almonds. Is this like Goldschlager, but with a different element? Will silver in our food be the new cinnamon?

5. Under the “Did you Know?” section: “Fortune cookies were actually invented in America, in 1918, by Charles Jung!” I particularly enjoyed this nugget, and not just because they added the very emphatic exclamation point to the sentence! It is as if they were texting this particular bit of trivia to me, but were only excited enough to use one exclamation point instead of three!!! The origin of the fortune cookie is a hotly debated claim, so I am interested that they picked the Los Angeles side in this particular LA versus San Francisco feud. Additionally, I hear that the contested inventor’s name is David Jung, not Charles. (!!!)

“Remember,” “lets” do our best to enjoy our tax dollars at work!

LWSD needs more volunteers

Disagree with Kirkland officials over rail removal

I am not certain if Cynthia has spoken with the PTA or office at the school where her children attend but I suspect they would love her grammatical, historical reference and distribution assistance. I have not run into any school in the Lake Washington School District that does not welcome volunteers.

One of the reasons those of us with two students at the same school receive duplicate copies of documents is because it is difficult to coordinate distribution of materials for all students and avoid duplicates getting sent to the same household without additional volunteer resources. There are often grammatical errors on materials because individuals do not take the time to proofread or send materials to an editor (if one exists) before a deadline for distribution. As for the inventor of the fortune cookie, it appears the internet is debating itself on that subject. Wikipedia believes it was David Jung but other sites list the individual as Charles Jung. Hard to say what the definitive answer is but I wonder if he changed his name based on a suggestion from a fortune cookie.

I live in Kirkland and don’t agree with our officials in removing the rails. It was my understanding they were to preserve the corridor for light rail as the primary use and add a trail for local use.

Rail is still the most viable form of transportation today. If leaders would get together with some forward thinking by incorporating a walking trail along the rail, that would be good for all. How many more lanes will we keep adding to the already congested Interstate 405 each time we find it just cannot handle all the traffic? Rail is the answer, not cars. We might not know it but there will be a day rail will be necessary again far more than it is being used today!

It really does not make sense the mayor says we have a good multi-use plan for the corridor with the plan being to remove the rails and put the walking path on the rail right of way.

Let’s get something right the first time, plans should be long-term - 50-plus years, not just the next 10-20.

Captain Anderson donated the clock, at the corner of Lake Street and Kirkland Avenue, to the city in 1935.

Since then the elements took a toll on our iconic clock and it fell into disrepair. For two years our committee has worked with the City of Kirkland Public Works Department, King County, Kirkland Heritage Society and volunteers to raise the necessary funds to restore the clock to its original condition. With your support we were able to rededicate the clock on Feb. 10. It now looks exactly like it did in 1935, including the original ferry schedule.

Pro-gun rally inappropriate As faith leaders in Kirkland, we are saddened and alarmed by the intention of 2nd Enforcers to hold a pro-gun rally downtown on

Feb 23. A day of defiance to proposed gun legislation is inappropriate when we know that our nation leads the world in child and teen gun deaths. A demonstration of firearms on our city streets is neither prudent nor safe.

We do not agree that “A Washington state non-profit militia with a mission to protect the rights of the people at all costs” is necessary to the well being of our community. We support nonviolent conflict resolution as part of our homes, schools, congre-

gations and our community.

We are aware that legislation alone will not stop the wave of gun violence sweeping our nation. But we also affirm a faith that is opposed to violence in all its forms.

As people of faith, we stand together to proclaim our opposition to such displays of “defiance” and any gathering that puts the community at risk. This kind of assembly adds to a sense of unease and danger. Our faith tells us that true community grows out of peace, justice, respect and

love.

Don’t decry income taxes With regard to Sen. Rodney Tom’s article bemoaning new tax hikes

(Feb. 22 issue), I agree with Tom that the myriad of new taxes is burdensome and oppressive. But rather than decry income taxes, I say – as a small businessperson and aspiring middle class citizen he claims to have the ear of – institute a true state income tax to reduce the confusion, simplify the tax code and apply a fairer cost model to state residents.

Why is Washington state one of a handful of states to not have an income tax? All but one of the others with-

out an income tax have the benefit of oil and natural gas royalties.

Reduce the state sales tax by 75 percent or more so we lose fewer shoppers across state borders. Reduce the business and occupation tax so small businesses can reinvest in their own growth and survival. And create an income tax that recognizes some are in a position to pay more than others.

Treehouse Being a foster child means having to cope with extraordinary disadvantages during some of the most important formative years leading to adulthood. Most often, children enter the foster care system due to abuse or neglect. Foster kids often don’t get the same emotional or financial support that other kids get, or the sense of security that comes from being a part of a biological or adoptive family. This is why Treehouse exists, to counteract some of the disadvantages that come with being a foster child. Treehouse is QFC’s charity of the month for March.

Most people find that getting a good education is an essential step towards leading a productive, fulfilling life. People without a good education are often at a disadvantage in pursuing a career or a landing a good job. Unfortunately, due to the emotional turmoil many foster children have had to endure, they are not primed and ready to do well in school. Treehouse is dedicated to helping the foster child population here in Washington through Education Advocacy and Education Engagement.

The Treehouse mission of helping foster children goes beyond education to include many other aspects of youths’ lives. Here are four other programs that Treehouse supports that help make a difference: Little Wishes, Summer Camp, The Wearhouse and Holiday Magic.

as well as school activities because kids who are positively engaged in school and community have better academic and life outcomes. The Summer Camp program provides access to overnight camps, day camps and other summer programs, giving foster kids a chance to get away and make new friends, while providing a break for their caregivers. Because spare funds are often short or nonexistent, Treehouse created The Wearhouse so that foster kids can get free new and like-new clothing, books, toys and other things to help them feel good and fit in. Eligible participants

can use The Wearhouse up to five times a year. The Holiday Magic program helps kids in foster care have a happy holiday by raising resources from the community to provide each child with a special holiday gift.

QFC is proud to partner with Treehouse to raise awareness about the important work they are involved in and to help raise funds to support the services they offer to their young clients. We invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand to Treehouse until March 30th.

Kirkland should not mandate participation in Section 8 I Toby Nixon

every landlord accepts rental vouchers. I learned later in life that the same is true of programs like WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) and DSHS-funded child care, adult family homes and nursing homes.

Participation by vendors is voluntary for all of these programs, and many choose to not participate. And why is that? If the proponents of Kirkland’s proposed Section 8 mandate are correct and it is simply a question of “method of payment,” then why would any business or property owner turn down an additional customer and a reliable payer?

The simple fact is that it is not just a question of “method of payment.” Those health care providers, stores, landlords, day care provid-

MY TURN

grew up in a poor family.

My dad was disabled in a work accident when my two brothers and I were very young, breaking all the bones in both his feet. There was no workers compensation insurance then.

My dad could never again find steady work. My mom couldn’t deal with the setback, so she left us. My brothers and I grew up on welfare, food stamps, government surplus food, Medicaid, and rental housing assistance.

I got my first job in the computer field thanks to the CETA program. I know from personal experience how helpful these programs are to those in need.

One of the things I learned early on is that not every store accepts food stamps, not every health care provider accepts Medicaid, and not

ers, AFH and nursing home operators, and others who choose not to participate in those programs are not discriminating against poor people on the basis of “method of payment.” They are declining to participate in those programs because of all the other strings that are attached to such participation.

In some cases, the “strings” are limitations on reimbursement rates. In others, the “strings” are government inspections, or government reviews of pricing, contracts, leases, policies, internal controls and decisions. In every one of these programs, in exchange for accepting government funding or subsidies, the government imposes a number of additional requirements, limitations, and restrictions on the vendors who participate. These extra rules can be intrusive, complicated and burden-

What we should do first is implement an expanded educational effort, in conjunction with the King County Housing Authority, to inform property owners of the opportunity for participation in Section 8 and to help them navigate the bureaucracy when they choose to participate. Only after such an educational effort has been tried and failed should we even consider a mandate.

But, my personal experience with these programs notwithstanding, I’m convinced that a mandate is not and never will be a good idea.

OPINION

Toby Nixon is a member of the Kirkland City Council.

His comments reflect his own position on this issue and do not necessarily reflect the positions of other council members or city staff.

Section 8 participation should be landlord’s choice, without city mandate

scheduling and completion that can and do happen. The requirement for an inspection is not a bad thing. However, when it takes an extended period of time to complete, it becomes an unreasonable burden to the landlord who owns a few rentals and relies upon the rent they collect to make the mortgage payment.

While some may hear this and rightly comment that at least after the initial month, rents settle into a predictable payment pattern, this is of little comfort to the property owner who is struggling to carry the mortgage. In addition, while it used to be the practice of the Housing Authority to help offset move out costs for things such as past due rent balances or utilities, and damages to the apartment above and beyond the security deposit, they no longer do so. It is the responsibility of the landlord to try and collect these monies, and the damages can often be thousands of dollars.

What would be unique in Kirkland if this measure were

to pass, is the city would be compelling a private landlord to take a higher risk with a resident who doesn’t have the discretionary pay to allow them to compensate the landlord if any damages were to occur, or balances left at move out.

3) If enacted, this measure will NOT increase the number of affordable rental units within the city: Most importantly, and what has not been discussed is that if enacted, the measure would not increase the available number of affordable housing units within the city.

housing provider for more than 36 years. We have a long history of participating in the program as two-thirds of our properties in Washington state provide apartments for Section 8 voucher holders. I don’t think that we’re unique in the field, but are proof that when given the choice, landlords can and do participate of their own accord.

2) Disparate impacts to the smaller housing providers: The economic effect on landlords will vary and it may have a disparate impact on the smaller housing provider.

The program can be one of the most effective means of addressing the need for affordable housing as it allows families to choose their home and helps reduce the concentration of low cost housing.

However, participation in the program comes at a cost to landlords of which some may not be able to financially absorb. Chief among these concerns are the inspections that are required prior to occupancy, and the extended timeframes for inspection

upon the best and highest use of their property. A local government should not force private landlords to participate in a program that is optional at the federal level and that has requirements and obligations to which some landlords have legitimate objections.

In essence, since the city has zero control over the rules and regulations that affect the program, they should not be in a position to mandate participation and take this choice away from the individual property owner.

If educated on the merits of the program, and if it fits into their overall business strategy, many private property owners choose to voluntarily participate in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. The company that I work for, Weidner Apartment Homes, has its corporate headquarters here in Kirkland and has been a Gregory Cerbana

by subsidizing a portion of their monthly rent payments.

At its core, the intent of the program is easy to get behind as it helps those persons and families who live and work within our community.

However, there are three main points that I would like to discuss that form the basis of my opposition to this proposal.

1) Voluntary versus compulsory participation: Participation in the Section 8 program from a private property owner should be voluntary and a choice that he or she enters into without a city mandate.

As I have indicated at both public meetings that the city held in recent months, the overriding issue that concerns landlords is the intrusion of a third party (in this case, the City of Kirkland) into what should be a decision by a private property owner as to whether or not to participate in a government program that puts restrictions

COMMENTARY

I

n a recent column entitled “City’s proposed Section 8 measure would prohibit discrimination,” the Director for the City of Kirkland’s Planning and Community Development Department outlined the foundation for the city’s desire to enact such a piece of legislation. While the article does a good job of describing the issues that led to the decision to ask for public input, it fails to make an adequate argument and provide support as to why the city should take this action.

In fact, the categorization of a private landlord’s decision whether to participate or not in the Section 8 program as “discrimination” is inflammatory and misses the point.

Let me be clear, as a person who has worked in the housing industry for close to two decades, my issue with this proposed ordinance is not rooted in any sort of opposition to the actual Section 8 program. In fact, I support this federally funded and locally directed program that assists low-income families

es. Undercover officers have been responding to the ads in an extensive investigation through February of this year.

In most cases the women offered sexual favors for a fee, and on several occasions admitted to traveling to the U.S. to prostitute themselves for money.

“This case is more than prostitution, money laundering and conspiracy,” said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. “It is about human trafficking.”

Charging papers reveal that the advertisements used code language like “160 roses/200 roses” to indicate pricing, and often pictured the women in skimpy clothing and suggestive poses.

Ads were placed in the adult entertainment section of backpage.com under the labels of “escort” and “body rubs.” Among the Bellevue locations identified are the Belcarra Apartments, Amli Apartments, Avalon Bellevue Apartments and the Courtyard Off Main, all prominent buildings in the city’s downtown.

“This is a crime that happens in our community,” said Hoffman about the concerning rates of trafficking on the Eastside, “that affects people from all over the world, including the U.S., regardless of background, where they grew up or what community they live in.” Aboulafia is charged with money laundering, conspiracy to use a communication facility to promote prostitution, conspiracy to transport individuals for prostitution and for the use of cell phones to advertise and facilitate services. Also indicted was Thanyathorn Mohr of Bellevue.

“That prevents somebody from leaving the situation and creates an environment of fear,” says Hoffman.

Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said that the victims and witnesses of the ring numbered in the dozens.

According to charging papers, the women were lured to the U.S. with the prospect of work, and owed debts of as much as $60,000. An investigation was launched in 2009 after a complaint was made to Kirkland police about suspicious activity in one of the Eastside residenc-

Upcoming events at Parkplace Books The following events will happen at Parkplace Books in Kirkland: Sunday, March 10, 2 p.m.: Book launch for “My Only Choice 1942-1956 Hungary”

by Helen Szablya.

Szablya, the honorary consul general of Hungary for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, co-authored “Hungary Remembered,” an award-winning, oral history drama/lecture series for the 30th anniversary of the “Hungarian Uprising, and the Fall of the Red Star,” an award-winning book about an illegal boyscout troop during the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, published in honor of the 40th anniversary.

She and her late husband escaped in 1956 with two toddlers and a newborn. Her new book, “My Only Choice 1942-1956 Hungary” is the story of their life and the story of their native land, as seen by a 7-year-old growing up and becoming a mother of three. Szablya’s story sheds light on a dramatic era in European history, one which Americans hardly know

and will find fascinating to discover.

Szablya recently received the order of merit of the Republic of Hungary for her consular and cultural work and the Spirit of Liberty award from the Ethnic Heritage Council. Past president of the Washington Press Association, she is an awardwinning author, columnist, translator, and lecturer.
