Whether families celebrate Easter with Jesus or simply enjoy Easter bunny photos and a good egg hunt, there are plenty of ways to celebrate this spring holiday in Kirkland.

Kirklanders only need now wish for sun. Here are just a few of the events taking place this weekend.

APRIL 18

Good Friday Labyrinth Walk 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

St. John’s Episcopal Church, 105 State St. S. in Kirkland.

The St. John’s Episcopal Church is hosting an indoor labyrinth - the word means a complicated irregular network of passages or paths in which it is difficult to find one’s way. The walk will be in Marsh Hall and will be a “quiet space of insight, contemplation and meditation.” Although the event ends at 3 p.m., 2:40 p.m. will be the last opportunity for people to enter before it closes. There will also be an outdoor labyrinth painted on the State Street Courtyard.

The outdoor one does not have a time restriction but [ more EASTER page 9 ]

Family, friends face man sentenced for Kirkland killing

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

A Montana man was sentenced to 41 months in the murder of a Kirkland mother at King County Superior Court on April 11.

Clifford Everell Reed, 60, was given the threeyear, five-month sentence after he entered the Alford guilty plea in March to first-degree manslaughter

of Sandi Rae Johnson. The 1996 murder was one of the last cold cases to be reopened in Seattle before funding was cut.

Because of 1996 law, the sentencing range for manslaughter was much lower than what prosecutors would have liked to recommend, which was between 31-41 months.

Reed was charged in December 2012 with second-degree murder for

killing 28-year-old Sandi Rae Johnson, a former Kirkland resident, on April 26, 1996. He was extradited from Montana two months later and was booked into King County jail on $5 million bail.

Before Reed was sentenced, Johnson’s close friends addressed Judge Mary Yu to ask for the harshest sentence allowed.

Johnson’s neighbor and longtime family caregiver

Deanie Morley described the day Johnson went missing in April 1996.

“It was the fifth birthday party of Sandi’s firstborn, Sean,” Morley said. “It was a day she had prepared for, running errands, shopping. Guests were all invited, the cake ordered, his favorite ice cream cake. This was the day our world fell apart.

We waited for her to come [ more REED page 8 ]

A large cottonwood in the middle of the Kirkland Highlands neighborhood was hacked by 70 feet on Tuesday.

Now standing 20-feet-tall, one Kirkland resident is extremely frustrated the tree, estimated to be 60-80 years old, had to be pruned down in the first place.

“I just hate to see the tree taken down,” said Tom Bach, a former Kirkland firefighter of 20 years whose home abuts the city-owned tree. “Nobody in the neighborhood wants this tree taken down…”

Except one family, Bach said.

Bach believes his neighbors want to use the rightof-way alley that sits behind their backyards to build a house extension or garage.

Only problem is the tree blocks the pathway between the alley and his neighbor’s backyard.

According to city of Kirkland spokeswoman Marie Jensen, the Bach’s neighbor was issued a building permit for a house remodel, which shows a proposed garage. She said if the owner decides to pursue building the garage, a separate permit would need to be acquired. The city has not yet received any permit [ more TREE page 2 ]

application for the garage.

But that’s not why the tree is being pruned to be a “habitat” tree.

Jensen said the tree was deemed to be a nuisance and it meets the criteria to be hazardous, citing falling limbs as a risk.

“While it’s understandable to wonder why the city would prune a tree to the extent this one is being pruned, it is our determination that the tree met the criteria for a hazard and nuisance and our action was designed to eliminate those aspects,” Jensen said.

Some of the criteria include its proximity to the number of people or properties nearby, whether the hazardous condition can or cannot be mitigated or whether the tree has caused damage to anyone or anything on some-

one’s property, among other factors, according to Kirkland Municipal Code.

But Bach said he’s lived at his Kirkland home under the cottonwood for more than 20 years and he sleeps just fine at night.

“You’ll get a branch coming down every now and then during big wind storms,” Bach said, “but that’s my bedroom right there and I’ve not had an issue.”

Bach said he’s been the one to prune the tree, rake the leaves and keep it overall clean and healthy in his 20-plus years of living under it. In the summer, the tree blocks the 3 p.m. sun glare and provides relaxing shade for his dog. A 20-foot-tall stump is an eyesore, he said.

across the street are saying ‘that’s tragic, to have a tree like that just lopped down,’” he said.

However, the issue goes deeper than a severely pruned tree. Bach said the alley, or city-owned right-ofway, that leads to the tree has been an ongoing issue for a number of years.

Some neighbors want the alley way open. It was “gobbled up” by homeowner property on one side, essentially making it so the right-of-way stops at the cottonwood.

“I just feel like the city is making decisions because they are tired of dealing with the bickering of the tree in the alley,” he said. “I understand that they want it as their main thoroughfare to get into their houses, we don’t have garages up here, but I don’t want somebody running up and down here, building in the back. It’d be very disruptive and I worry about my pets.”

The alley is made up of grass and some gravel. It is very narrow and abuts people’s backyards.

Ultimately, Bach fears the tree, or 20-feet-tall stump, will be completely removed and that it will lose the chance to regrow, but more importantly it will impact the water and moisture on Bach’s property as well as others.

“I’ve been told that the tree takes up anywhere from 300-700 gallons a day, the root system,” he said. “And my basement’s down below grade and I’ve had water problems in the past.”

After speaking with arborists, he learned there’s a water system underground that made the tree grow so big.

“There’s underground springs that come through here and that’s why a lot of us have water issues,” Bach said.

Jensen did not have a definitive answer when asked if the city could potentially remove the tree completely

after the home owners got the appropriate permits to build a garage.

“Review of a building permit application is conducted by several departments,” Jensen said. “Each application has its own unique aspects.

It is not possible to speculate the outcome on any property owner’s building permit application. If the owner at 11419 NE 190th St. pursues construction of the garage, the answer to your question would come to light at the time of review.”

The Kirkland Reporter reached out to Bach’s neighbors, the property owners of 11419 NE 190th St., but did not receive a reply.

Issues with LWSD bond, response to guest opinion Thank you for allowing our committee to respond to Jill Stoddart’s Guest Column as published on March 26.

Since Jill chose to question my motive, just Bing my name, I stand by what the reader finds. This is not an issue as to who cares more about schools.

This is an issue as to what they should cost.

We ask the reader to do their own math using Lake Washington School District’s numbers presented to Kirkland City Council. Let me put this in the form of a word problem: Take the $125 per year for a $500,000 house and multiply it by 20 years. Now multiply that by the ratio of that house to its portion of $32 billion of assessed property valuation in our school district. If you came up to the Admin’s $404,000,000 amount, then you should go ahead and vote for the bond.

But, if you did your work correctly, you should read on. Our concern, along with three of the city of Kirkland council members, is that the administration’s own numbers don’t work. Which connects us to why our school cost don’t work either.

A few examples to our concerns: • The district justifies their high cost school rebuilds by cherry picking the highest cost school rebuilds in the state. They include areas within an urban environment that is inherently expensive to build that are not the same as our suburban school district. However, with a simple RFI to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, you can find equivalent school districts that spend on average 38 percent less than the Lake Washington School District.

• 43 percent of this proposed bond is to replace Juanita High School. That budgeted expense of $134 million is more than a 50 percent increase over what was just expensed on Lake Washington High School. Both schools have close to the same population.

• The proposed expense for Juanita High School does not include pool replacement. The pool, if replaced is proposed to cost and additional $40 million.

• Regarding the lost of JHS’s pool: Newcastle YMCA, completed three years ago, built two 25-meter pools with a total of six lap lanes for under $16 million. That expense includes 32,000 square feet of gyms, locker rooms, showers, work out facilities, meeting rooms - all equal to the size of an average elementary school. The contractor on that job, with prevailing wages, built two pools and the equivalent of an elementary school for about a third of just what our administration is stating they need for a full pool replacement.

We have plenty more examples. Unfortunately, our documentation of these questions to the district since August of last year, and the alternate proposals since, have fallen on deaf ears. The Admin chooses to ignore our concerns and continues to promote irresponsible spending. At anytime that anyone from the administration wants to discuss this in a public forum, we will continue to make ourselves available.

Voter, don’t hold your breath waiting. Vote no on Proposition 1 and vote for affordable schools.

Thank you.

Mike Nykreim, Chair, Not-1.com committee for Affordable Schools

Every vote counts in LWSD bond special election I am a parent of two students at Helen Keller Elementary in Kirkland. My child’s school was replaced thanks to an earlier successful bond measure.

Getting a simple cafeteria was a big deal to my family. Before, kids ate in their classrooms, often spilling and getting crumbs everywhere. A peanutallergic child, this was a daily stressor for my son.

Now he is much safer at lunch time and more

relaxed in the classroom.

Other schools in the district also need to be replaced. The $404 million Lake Washington School District bond measure will be on the April special election. It will: build three new elementary schools, build one new middle school, re-build and expand Juanita High School, build new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) high school on the Juanita High School campus in Kirkland and build new addition at Lake Washington High School.

Please vote yes when you get your ballot in early April. Return your ballot early; don’t wait until the last minute. Every vote counts!

April Johnson-Shults, Kirkland

Vote no on LWSD bond measure Kudos to Steven Swedenburg for giving some figures about the cost of Proposition 1. Special kudos to Dennis Shor for reminding everyone, in two letters, that there are retirees living in Kirkland who have supported the schools for years, as I have, and have seen their property taxes climb.

I have lived in the same house on South Rose Hill since 1966 and have of course seen my property taxes go up, and up, and up. I am on a fixed income, and so, I will vote no.

Kirkland is becoming unaffordable for lowerincome people and even for the former editor of the Kirkland Reporter, Carrie Rodriguez, who had to commute from Federal Way to her job because she couldn’t afford to live in Kirkland. So sad how poorly this reflects on Kirkland.

Karin Ferguson, Kirkland

Don’t tell me how to vote on the bond I can no longer be quiet while my taxes keep going up every year because of one bond or another.

About a year ago, it was a park bond and a street repair bond. Now, the Lake Washington School District is throwing more bonds at us and in another year it will most likely be an aquatic center bond.

Let’s deal with the school bond for the April 22 election. What is it that these people, who write letters in the Reporter telling me to vote for this bond, don’t understand?

First, I don’t need someone who is in bed with the school board telling me how to vote. I am another retired Kirkland citizen who is being taxed out of my property. Jill Stoddart, chairperson for

the Redmond Action Group and Matt Gregory, maybe you can afford more taxes for newer schools but I do not feel I can handle another large increase in taxes.

As for Shelly Flores, well I think it is wonderful that you can afford to send your sons to the University of Washington and Lancaster University in Lancaster England. You recently became a board member of the Lake Washington PTSA council, which tells me you have a bias.

Don’t any of you tell me how to vote as a retired person, who is slowly being priced out of my home with bond after bond after bond. No thank you.

Duane Illg, Kirkland

LWSD compromised, vote yes on bond measure Why are we judging our school district based on their ability to save every penny? Lake Washington School District provides one of the best educations in our state. Families and businesses move here due, in part, to our schools and stunning graduates. These are not empty words.

Compare district graduation rates, MSP/HSPE, SAT, awards - you name it. Our district is in the top five in our state and they are focused on being the best. We should be celebrating how lucky we are to have such amazing schools and students! Woo-hoo!

Redmond is growing and our district needs to accommodate that growth. The district lost the first round this year and created the bond they thought the “no” crew were asking for: A bond for just the schools that are absolutely necessary. They agreed to save their other requests for a few years down the road.

Did the other side agree to this compromise?

Not yet. I still hold out hope, though. Now they are complaining that splitting the bonds up was some sort of trick. Saying the district is lying about the cost of the bond. They are angry that the district tears down perfectly good buildings.

Yes, the school district replaces buildings for a variety of reasons. After you factor in the energy savings by using new building standards we could maybe save a few percent over 30 years of use by gutting existing structures. We would be ignoring the significant hardship to students during a remodel process and what they would lose is having a modern and more inviting learning environment.

50. In his autobiographical book, “Discourses on a Sober and Temperate Life,” which is still in print today, he claims that a radical change from unrestricted indulgence to Spartan simplicity not only restored his health but also added many more years to his life. He died at 98 – an exceptionally old age at his time.

A more systematic approach to studying the effects of diet on longevity was taken in the 1930s when scientists noticed that lab mice put on a calorie-restricted diet lived up to 40 percent longer than their abundantly fed counterparts.

A subsequent dispute between the two research teams over their differing study results continues today.

Regardless of what animal tests are (or are not) able to show, it remains unclear how the outcomes can be made useful for humans.

To understand the effects of calorie restriction, one has to be careful to distinguish between undernutrition, in which all the essential nutrients the body needs to function properly and stay healthy are provided – albeit by using fewer calories, and malnutrition, where at least some nutrients are missing, potentially resulting in harmful deficiencies over time. The latter is certainly not recommended and is not likely to have any health benefits, including for longevity.

Two relatively recent studies tested independently from each other the impact of calorie restriction on health and mortality in rhesus monkeys. Both came up with opposite results.

In 2009, a study report issued by researchers from the University of Wisconsin claimed that a calorie-restricted diet regimen did actually favor longevity in the monkeys. But three years later, scientists at the National Institute of Aging laboratory in Baltimore who conducted similar studies found no evidence that providing their monkeys with less food made any difference in terms of lifespan, as they documented in their own report.

Tom, 50, became a political lightning rod last year when he chose to caucus with Republicans in the Majority Coalition Caucus, giving the Republicans control of the Senate. Tom, a two-term senator, began his career as a Republican and later switched parties to become a Democrat.

Lori Sotelo. “The KCGOP is committed to ensuring residents of the 48th District continue to benefit from an independent voice that understands the needs of the district, and a senator who is willing to reach across the aisle to advocate on behalf of their concerns.”

Tom said that he felt he was in a good position to win re-election despite McBride’s strong challenge.

McBride, also a Democrat, wished the best for Tom and his father.

“Myself and my campaign, particularly, hope his father enjoys a quick and full recovery,” McBride said.

But Tom’s departure opens up a door for McBride, as no other can-

didates have filed for the seat. McBride has already raised more than $60,000, a very large sum for a challenger.

“We aren’t going to change our strategy at all,” McBride said. “We will work every day and continue to knock on doors. We are not going to slow down. I have always enjoyed campaigning.”

McBride said that she continues to gain endorsements from around the area, including Rep. Ross Hunter and Rep. Cyrus Habib from the 48th District, along with many mayors and key council members.

“We are getting a great response and we are raising a lot of money,” McBride said.

The fifth book in the Metal Cowboy series “A Guide to Falling Down in Public” hits the open road in high gear and never looks back.

Whether he’s outsprinting African elephants and dictators in Zimbabwe or confounding Mexican freedom fighters in Copper Canyon with nothing more than broken Spanish and the magic of a bicycle, Joe “Metal Cowboy” Kurmaskie has mastered the painful art of falling down

and the flat-out rush of getting back up again.

Kurmaskie’s stories will celebrate beautiful wrecks on five continents, the extraordinary people met along the way, and all the awe-inspiring, sweatsoaked miles ridden in between.

But most of all, where was Sandi?”

The day before she went missing, Johnson worked a double shift to take the next day off to prepare for her son’s fifth birthday, which included two parties.

Reed and Johnson worked at Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent together when the mother of two disap-

She planned for her then 2-year-old daughter and son to stay with a babysitter overnight. Charging documents state that she left a voicemail with the babysitter the morning of her disappearance, stating that she would pick them up later in the day so she could do some shopping. Johnson also made plans to have lunch with a friend in Bellevue but never showed up.

“The day passed slowly,” Morley recounted. “Friends had gathered. Who was putting us through this misery on the day she would

have loved celebrating? The adults were taking turns crying in the bathroom knowing that she would never leave her precious children unwillingly. Confusion ran rampant.”

After Johnson failed to pick up her kids and missed her son’s first birthday party, her estranged husband reported her missing.

“Sean could hear her voice on the recorder and just knew she had to be nearby,” she said. “Katie’s eyes were on the entry door.

We waited for eight long years before her body was found.”

Longtime resident takes over as Kangs head football coach

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

A

J Parnell looks like he could throw on some pads, a helmet, run onto Mac Field and take some snaps next fall for the Lake Washington High School football team.

His youthful appearance might lead one to wonder if he was actually traded from cross-town rival Juanita to the Kangs.

But in reality, the 30-yearold coach was hired away from the Rebels to be Lake Washington’s new varsity head football coach.

“I think people are excited to have a young coach instead of having some older guy who can’t relate to us,” said Kangs football player Braun Inslee. “He said ‘ask me anything’ and that made it really easy for us.”

His ability to connect with his players and guide them has made a big impact for the young coach and gained him a reputation.

“We feed off his positive energy and we feel he can lead us in the right direction,” said Kangs football player

Sportsmanship award recipients announced In memory of Stephen (Steve) Hale, the City of Kirkland’s Parks Superintendent from 1956 to 1961 and “founding father” of the City’s PeeWee Basketball Program, local youth were recently honored with the “Steve Hale Sportsmanship

Tyson Andrews.

Parnell said that he loves coaching sports because it is a great environment for teaching.

“Sports [are] an amazing opportunity to practice life,” Parnell said. “You get a chance to practice adverse situations and learn from them.”

Parnell said that he will teach his players about G.R.I.T. — gratitude, responsibility, integrity and team.

Lake Washington High School athletic director George Crowder said he was impressed with Parnell’s character.

“He is a longtime coach in the area,” Crowder said. “He really has the pedigree and intangibles to become a really successful head coach. He has a good vision for what a great program should be.”

A committee of parents, players and the Lake Washington High School athletic administration made the unanimous selection of Parnell, said Crowder.

For Andrews, who was on the committee, it was Parnell’s communication skills that impressed him the most.

Award.” City of Kirkland Youth Basketball League coaches and teammates selected players to receive the Award. Award recipients exemplified outstanding sportsmanship, team play, and a positive attitude throughout the 2014 basketball season. Here are the 2014 recipients: Luke Charvet, Ellie Sivesind, Zoe Luzama, Jack Suk, Andrew Dahlman-Oeth, Quincy

New Lake Washington High School football coach AJ Parnell sits in the Mac Field stands with football players Braun Inslee, center, and Tyson Andrews, left. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter “He has already begun developing a relationship with the senior class and there has been a lot of give and take,” Andrews said. “I like his philosophy that winning isn’t a goal for us but a byproduct of the process and working hard.”

Crowder said that Parnell expects a lot out of his players.

“He will stress the importance of academic excellence, athletic success and strong character,” Crowder said.

Parnell is no stranger to

KingCo or even Kirkland football, as he grew up in Kirkland and was an assistant coach under Juanita High School head football coach Shaun Tarantola since 2008.

“He was a great assistant coach with us and impacted our program in a positive way,” Tarantola said. “He had a lot to do with the success we have achieved.”

The game between Lake Washington and Juanita next fall will add meaning for both coaches.

Yoshida, Pritika Vipin, Tyler Sloan, Ben McKay, Nathan Ghilarducci, Rosa Smith, Sophie McDaniel, Guillo Carlson, Elliott Nichols, “Black Mambas” Team, Eli Main and Cole Hopkins.

Hale’s belief in outstanding sportsmanship continues to impact the youth today.

Hale also served as coach, umpire, and referee for many sports and group of all ages for 25 years in Kirkland.

He developed and expanded youth sports in Kirkland and improved facilities by fostering volunteerism. Hale emphasized teamwork, fundamentals, self-development, hustle, and above all fun and outstanding sportsmanship.

For more information about youth recreation programs, visit www.kirklandparks.net.

“It will be the first time that I have coached against an assistant that worked with me as a head coach but I am sure it will be a fun week,” Tarantola said. “I compare it to what it is like for us to play Liberty, since I was an assistant there until 2004 under coach Valach. We have similar philosophies on how to run a program, offense, defense and special teams. I look forward to having another game against a group of coaches that I have close friendships with and a ton of respect for.”

For Parnell there will be an added bit of mixed emotions because he also played for the Rebels football team when he attended Juanita High School.

“Shaun does such a great job that you want to work hard for him and he entrusted me with a lot,” said Parnell, who turned 30 on April 16 and is the youngest head football coach in KingCo. “My experience at Juanita has prepared me for this opportunity. I am so grateful for the people around me. They have gotten me to this point.”

Synchronized Swimming to host free show in Kirkland The Seattle Synchronized Swimming Team will host a free show from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on April 27 at Juanita Pool in Kirkland.

The event celebrates the achievements of Seattle

Parnell was raised in Kirkland, growing up on Finn Hill and taught at Finn Hill Middle School for seven years.

He graduated from Juanita High School in 2002 and then went on to play quarterback for Bethel University in Minnesota.

Most recently, Parnell was defensive coordinator for the Rebels and is a teacher at Lake Washington High School.

Parnell replaces former Lake Washington High School head coach Steve Supple, who took the Kangs to the state playoffs during the 2013 season.

“It was a building decision,” Crowder said. “We felt like we needed to move in a different direction.”

Supple coached the team for four seasons and before that Ray Roberts lasted just two years.

“It is all about developing relationships and engaging the community,” said Parnell.

“I want to build off of what coach Supple did. I want to build them academically as well as physically.”
