Man arrested for attempted child abduction at Marina Park

Teenage friend saves girl from stranger

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

A

man was arrested Saturday after allegedly attempting to take a young girl from a very busy Marina Park in downtown Kirkland while her family was just yards away.

Arton G. Katkoff, 26, of Kirkland waived his appearance in court on Monday, as the judge found probable cause to hold him without bail. A charging decision in the case has not yet been made.

The man allegedly left a local establishment’s balco-

ny and ran into the Marina Park parking lot near the fountain and flagpole just after 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, according to court documents. He then approached the 10-year-old girl, her young sister and a teenage acquaintance. Katkoff then began asking the younger girls questions like “How old are you?” and “Where are your parents?” The little

girl became concerned and pointed to where her parents were sitting in an outdoor area approximately 100 feet away, the documents continue.

The man then became aggressive, even yelling at the teenage acquaintance. The older girl yelled back at Katkoff, “They are with me!” The man then attempted to pick up the

10-year-old girl from under her arms to pull her away from the teenager, the documents continue.

A friend of Katkoff, who observed the altercation, told police that the girls’ legs came off the ground during the struggle. The teenage girl managed to pull the 10-year-old girl away from Katkoff and tell the girls to run to their par-

Local photographer and owner of Humanature Photography, Bob Gassen, survived nearly drowning and a medically induced coma. He returned to Kirkland this week for care closer to home. CONTRIBUTED, Gassen family

Local photographer Bob Gassen has been a big part of the Kirkland community for 15 years.

The Redmond resident and owner of Humanature Photography has been a part of the biggest milestones for many local residents, such as graduations, wedding anniversaries and even newborns. Many of those community members are now lending their support to Gassen at a time when he is attempting to reach some critical milestones of his own — like coming home to his family after nearly drowning.

“We have had an army of friends and community members helping us out,” said Jeff Gassen, Bob’s son. “They have been keeping our heads [ more GASSEN page 3 ]

Kirkland resident makes it to the third round of junior US Open

BY MATT PHELPS AND STEVE PRATT

Kirkland Reporter

Kirkland resident Henrik Wiersholm finished his junior tennis career at the US Open Junior Championships tennis tournament in New York City last week despite suffering from flu-like symptoms during most of the tournament. The soonto-be college freshman won two singles matches but lost during the third round.

“I have had a great junior career,” Wiersholm said. “I am happy to be moving on to college and I want to do big things there as well.”

Wiersholm began the tournament with a victory during his first-round match by defeating Joao

right now, which I haven’t done in a while,” said the University of Virginia freshman following his second round match. “I’m playing well and with a lot of confidence.”

The Kirkland native defeated Lucas Miedler of Austria 7-5, 6-7(6), 6-2 during the second round of singles play despite being sick.

“It didn’t help that it was so hellishly hot out there.

But for how bad I felt, I saw a lot of people struggling too,” Wiersholm said.

“That kind of gave me some confidence going into my match today. I didn’t feel like I was at a disadvantage.”

The tournament came to an end for Wiersholm on Sept. 3 during the third round, losing to Duckhee Lee of South Korea, 6-1, 6-2.

“I’ll credit him, he played really well. He was definitely ready to go,” Wiersholm said. “He played fast, which normally I like that pace that he plays with, but I couldn’t keep up today at all.”

Wiersholm said he felt good but he was just kind of moving slow.

“I was just kind of lethargic today, very casual which you cannot do. It’s the US Open, you know?” Wiersholm said.

Wiersholm played just one doubles match. He teamed with Tommy Paul of Lumberton, N.J. but lost to Yunseong Chung and Seong-chan Hong of South Korea, 6-4, 7-5 during the first round.

“I think I have picked one of the best spots to play so I am excited about that,” Wiersholm said following his final singles match. “I know that this match is not a reflection of me as a tennis player but it is definitely a lesson to be learned. I know there are bigger and better things to be done.”

in a good way and keeping us strong. He has legions of people pulling for him. It is nice to know that when you get knocked down people have your back.”

Bob nearly died and was put into a medically-induced coma following a boating accident on Aug. 19 in Tacoma.

He spent nearly a month at Tacoma General Hospital but recently returned to Kirkland for out-patient care at EvergreenHealth.

Jeff said that the support from the community has been one of the “wow” moments in a terrible situation.

The outpouring of support from the community can be seen on Jeff’s Facebook page where he has been updating his father’s condition every couple of days. One post has 112 likes. But the main place that the family has referred friends and community members to look for information is a blog at www. posthope.org/bobs-journey.

The blog, updated by Bob’s daughter Nikki, chronicles many of the ups and downs.

The accident came at the

end of an enjoyable day out on the water with friends.

“He was invited to go out on a boat on the Sound,” Jeff said. “They were getting ready to dock and somehow he fell in and almost drowned. He tried to swim to the dock but swallowed a lot of water.”

Jeff said his father was able to get close enough so people could pull him out. CPR was then performed after Bob fell unconscious and emergency medical personnel rushed him to the hospital.

“He was talking to us at 10:45 p.m. but he was pretty badly injured,” Jeff said.

Bob’s condition worsened to the point that doctors decided to put him into a coma to allow his body to recover.

Bob would lose a week of consciousness while his family stood vigil.

“They needed to dry out his lungs. We were pretty close to losing him,” said Jeff, who has worked as a lifeguard. “Drowning is hard on the body and when you inhale saltwater it is really hard. We just had the right people at the right time. We owe it all to the hospital staff

Bob was moved back to Jeff and his family have the Kirkland area for in-

patient treatment earlier this week.

“Bob will be out on the road again today,” Nikki wrote on Sept. 6. “He’s currently in the process of getting discharged from the hospital in Tacoma … The great news is that he is well enough to be transported by private vehicle and they must trust Mary enough to let her transport him …”

But it is unclear how long Bob will have in-patient therapy.

His absence from Humanature Photography has been tough. Jeff, along with helping to take care of his father and working his own full-time job, has been filling in for his father at the studio.

“We are fortunate that we have a great relationship with our clients and other business owners,” Jeff said. “It has defied any vision I had when this whole thing started.

It’s hard to keep everything balanced but we are all doing our best to keep things going.”

Jeff said the business has had some small cancellations but only lost one big event.

But Bob’s work in the community goes beyond the Humanature Photography studio on Market Street. He takes photos for nearly every big event in Kirkland, such as Kirkland Summerfest, Kirkland Uncorked and nearly all the chamber events.

“He is the first guy we call,” said Kirkland Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bruce Wynn. “You always see him at all the events taking photos. He is just kind of a part of Kirkland. If something is going on he is there and he is always willing to do whatever it takes to get the photo right.”

Bob, who is a member of Kirkland’s Rotary, has had a presence during many landmark events for local residents. He even foots the bill for Santa Claus to visit the city each year during the annual tree lighting ceremony in downtown Kirkland.

The timing of his return to Kirkland could not be more special for one Redmond resident - Mary, who will celebrate her birthday at the end of the month with her husband.

LWSD: Learning focused at all levels

Dr. Tracey Pierce

he Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is excited for the 2014-15 school year! This year we welcome more than 2,000 new kindergartners into our district and will prepare nearly 1,600 12th graders for graduation in 2015.

All totaled, more than 26,000 K-12 students entered Lake Washington schools on Tuesday. Our teachers and staffs are prepared to help every student to be future ready.

As a school district, we are more than just a collection of schools. We are an educational system, with learning as our core business.

Our district mission and vision makes student learning and achievement our top priority.

On average, Lake Washington students score 16 percent higher in reading and 22 percent higher in math than their peers across the state on state accountability measures. We know that annual test scores are just one measure of student performance.

We are working hard to ensure that every day, all students experience meaningful learning that helps them to learn, grow and succeed.

Our values and strategic goals guide our district work. Four core values drive our district culture. We are: student centered, learning focused, community connected and results oriented. Our five strategic goals align to our four core values. You can learn more about our five-year strategic plan on our district website, at www.lwsd.org.

Since learning is our district’s core business, we believe in investing in the ongoing learning of our professionals so they can do their very best work in service of our students. This summer, our office professionals, custodians, bus drivers, new teachers and returning teachers, building administrators and district administrators all participated in in-service training and professional learning workshops. You can see some great pictures of professional learning in action on our district Facebook page.

In addition to participating in extensive August

learning sessions, all brand-new teachers are assigned a consulting teacher, who works alongside the new teacher to provide job-embedded mentoring, coaching and support. This year we were also able to add some instructional coaches and literacy coaches to support the ongoing learning of our experienced teachers. By focusing on staff professional learning, we will be able to improve learning for our students.

In addition to student and professional learning, we focus on organizational learning. We are continually examining our systems, structures, practices and policies to improve as an organization.

Listening, open communication, engagement and transparency with our parents and community is critical for our ability to learn and thrive as an organization. This year, we are continuing to expand our communication and community engagement efforts. As a new practice, we are inviting parents to participate on curriculum committees. We have a number of curriculum adoptions on the horizon, including grades 6-8 science, 9-12 science and 6-8 mathematics.

We will also be convening a facility advisory committee this fall to help us learn the desires and priorities of the community with respect to building facilities. Our enrollment continues to grow and we added 10 more portables across the district this summer to house our growing student population.

We need to develop a long-term plan for housing students and we need to better understand what the community wants and is willing to support. To address growth in the short term, we need to adjust attendance boundaries for the 2016-17 school year.

This process will begin early this fall and there will be many opportunities for parents and community members to be engaged. Please look for more information on both the boundary process and the facility advisory committee coming soon.

LWSD is honored to serve students throughout Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish and it is a privilege to serve as superintendent.

Dr. Traci Pierce is the superintendent for the Lake Washington School District, which serves all public schools in Kirkland.

This temporary victory in the use of this property [Potala Village] will be short-lived, if the owners elect to take the matter to higher courts. The neighbors and those elected by them clearly feel they have the right to protect their neighborhood but, please, not at the sole expense of this single property owner.

If you would take the time to read Supreme Court decisions on similar takings you will find a long history of the court siding with the property owner and against the taking agency.

Make no mistake this is a regulatory taking of property rights which cause a demonstrable loss to the owners and as time is delayed these costs and the cost to litigate this matter fall directly on all of the tax payers in Kirkland.

Please take a half an hour and read a case on point. https://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/ US/482/482.US.304.85-1199.html There are many other cases and each restrict the regulator powers of communities to down zone, restrict and take land from private property owners without compensation.

In the case above the agency had to pay for the land taken and for the loss of its use during the moratorium.

It would be a lot cheaper and less time consuming if the million-dollar home owners and city got together to purchase the site at today’s values then they can rezone and place any restriction on it they want or make it a park.

You believe you can have your cake and eat it too? This may not be the case and the rest of the community should not be forced to fund these actions.

Lobsang Dargey’s Potala project needs design changes During the past week, the attorney for Lobsang Dargey and Path America called the city of Kirkland and left a message seeming to indicate that her client had already gone through design review and thus should not have to go through a design review hearing again.

Here’s the link to the design review meetings for the last five-to-six years. No Potala Village DRB that I can see. After all this time did she think citizens wouldn’t check this claim? http://www.kirklandwa. gov/depart/planning/Boards_and_Commissions/ DRB_Meeting_Information.htm Why is Design Review so important?

First, the EIS consultant commented on the proposed ground floor elevation where the build-

ing was set below the sidewalk in order to achieve an additional story. This made the building about 33 percent bigger than it would have been at only three stories. Their comment was that “proposed ground floor elevation would be below grade along Lake Street South and is out of character with the surrounding neighborhood.” The consultant also notes “inconsistencies exist with [Comprehensive Plan] policies LU 1.3 and LU 5.9 which seek to ensure that development is compatible in scale and character with the surrounding area.” Additionally, the Kirkland City Council clarified with [Planning Director] Eric Shields earlier in the year that requiring a building to be at sidewalk grade was within the purview of the Design Review Board. A building submerged below grade is by itself bad design, but when it further exacerbates other problems of size, scale and massing, it becomes a hugely negative design flaw.

Second, the EIS consultant also stated that the “proposed building size and mass appear to be larger and out of scale, compared with surrounding development.” This is another design flaw that makes the building proposal in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and city policies.

Third, the EIS consultant’s comment about the building footprint was similar: “Proposed building footprint is larger and lot coverage higher than much of the develop[ more LETTERS page 5 ]

Of interest is the fact that the building footprint was so large that there was no place but the curb of Lake Washington Boulevard and Lake Street South for garbage and recycle pick up. That pickup seemed scheduled for four-to-five days a week and depends on someone to roll trash in and out. Then, to make matters worse, sometime after the EIS evaluated the project, the developer submitted plans for a footprint that was not smaller, but more than 10 percent larger than the footprint that EIS consultants say they evaluated!

Please pay special attention to these issues! This is not good design!

Aug. 30 Assault: 8:51 a.m., 12900 block of 87th Ave NE. A 48-year-old woman was arrested for domestic violence after she and her 52-yearold husband had an argument in front of their 11-year-old son. The argument resulted in the husband slapping his wife and pulling her hair. She hit him with a cooking pan, causing bruises to his wrist.

She also scratched his face, neck, and arm.

Aug. 29 Theft: 11:09 a.m., 12400 block of NE 85th St. A 34-year-old woman was arrested for shoplifting two bottles of wine from Safeway. The manager told police she regularly attempted to steal things but they don’t report it because she returns them after being confronted. The woman was removed from the store, cited and released. Upon her release she proceeded to go to Walgreen’s and attempted to steal a bottle of wine and a 12-pack of beer. A police officer following her saw her in the parking lot. She resisted arrested and was booked into jail.

proposed parking garage entrance is generally out of character with surrounding development.”

Early on [the neighbors] noted a courtyard that had a fountain, sitting area and other “community gathering space” that was aligned with the premise of Residential Markets and Neighborhood Businesses. But then, because the developer wanted to put the driveway on Lake Street rather than 10th plan, the driveway ended up cutting the courtyard in two. There no longer appears to be a plan for a fountain or the seating. Garbage pick up locations are now in a large portion of this area – not great to look at.

This is all bad design.

Fifth, the EIS consultants state that perimeter retaining walls are out of character with the surrounding area.

Sixth and finally, citizens have noted that City’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Codes identify functional uses for our city streets and

specify what each may be used for. When a development is done where there is both a neighborhood access street (appropriate for ingress and egress) or a principal arterial (not appropriate for ingress and egress), a design that uses the wrong street is bad design.

We welcome design review. Please help Mr. Dargey provide a development that is designed appropriately for the surrounding area as required by LU 1.3 and LU 5.9.

I’ve tried to sum up the design review concerns that were put forward by independent reviewer as well as the driveway concerns and loss of common open space.

I’d love to hear your comments or other things to bring before Design Review Board. Please email me your thoughts and I’ll include them in citizen responses to the Design Review Board uwkkg@aol.com.

Many women find themselves providing care for both children and elderly family members. Caring for an aging parent or family member can include paying for the costs of adult day care, uninsured medical expenses, and extra transportation. Adding these expenses to the costs of maintaining a household, child care, and college tuition can be financially overwhelming. Unfortunately, these added financial responsibilities often continue after your death. Life insurance provides a source of funds that can be used to help pay for these expenses.

Planning and Community Development Department, said the amendment is also intended to streamline the procedure for dealing with code violations as well as the manner in which fines and penalties are assessed.

“The process is that an enforcement officer will talk to the person who is the potential violator and then determine the violation has occurred,” he said. “They notify the violator…the violator either says, ‘Okay, we will work out a voluntary compliance agreement, or the violator can decide to not do anything.

NOW...

...to get you back in the game!

We then take the matter to the hearing examiner.”

The examiner can then impose fines if they find there is an actual violation going on, he explained.

With the new amendment, penalties in some circumstances can also be reduced, though it also allows for the city to keep record of noncompliance on the property.

An Aug. 21 city memo addressed to City Manager Kurt Triplett stated that due to the limitless ceiling on fines, they can accumulate to the point where staff will simply send the case to collections.

“The preferred outcome of staff is always code compliance and not collection of fines,” the memo stated.

Redmond has a maximum civil penalty of $1,000 for each violation, according to the memo.

Bellevue and Bothell have no maximum ceiling. Snohomish County has a $10,000 ceiling for noncommercial violations.

The family contacted police and the man was found and arrested a few blocks from the park.

“The girl is fine and the mother is probably more shook up than the daughter at this point,” Kirkland Police Sgt. Rob Saloum said on Sunday.

“When he was taken into custody he didn’t want to speak with us.”

The man refused to cooperate with law enforcement and gave no motive for his actions.

Court documents state that Katkoff told police post Miranda rights that “it looked like a bad situation,” but would not elaborate on why he left the balcony of the restaurant and attempted to take the girl. He did tell police he suffers from a bi-polar disorder.

The man was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping but according to police he will most likely face assault charges.

Police are investigating whether the man has any further mental health issues.

LWSD students raise their average scores on state standardized tests

Nineteen schools did not make AYP but were not moved to “in improvement” status since this was the first year they did not meet the standard. Twenty-one schools are in one of the five steps of the in improvement status.

Kathryn Reith, communications director for LWSD, said if a school falls under the Title I category — meaning it serves a high number or

percentage of low-income families — and is in improvement, they have to allow parents the choice to transfer their students to another school that is not in improvement.

Reith said there are five Title I schools in the district — two of which are in Redmond (Redmond and Albert Einstein elementary schools).

“We are not a high-poverty district,” she said.

Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students improved their average scores on state standardized tests in many grades in reading, writing, math and science.

Scores rose in close to two-thirds of the grade/content area, continuing general upward trends.

“I’m so pleased to see our scores continue on a positive trend,” said Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce in an LWSD press release.

These scores also determined whether schools met the federal standards for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Since the U.S. Department of Education rescinded a waiver for the state of Washington, it must meet the standard of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).

That law required that 100 percent of all students meet state standards by 2014. If a school does not have every single student at standard, they could still qualify to meet AYP if their scores were within the margin of error of 100 percent or if they showed sufficient improvement in both reading and math in all subgroups since the 2010-11 school year.

Eleven LWSD schools made AYP through the adjusted percentage based on the margin of error — showing significant improvement in scores or in the case of one school, having too few students tested in the specific grades.

The schools that made AYP were Horace Mann, Norman Rockwell and Rosa Parks elementary schools, Explorer Community School, Stella Schola Middle School and Tesla STEM High School, Environmental & Adventure School, Futures School, International Com-

Of course, that’s if drivers can get there.

With an average of 500 miles a day for the nineday rally, the trip can have a few unintended events pop up along the way. For Burgess, Frolic and their TR4, that came as a recently installed head gasket gave them issues and they had to call from across Canada and have one flown in and hand delivered.

“It was super emotional [at the finish line], because we had really been motivated by someone who had been on the TR forum and passed away just a few weeks before we left,” Jan said. “Wherever we ended, we’d have a glass of champagne and a Havana cigar for him – and we did.”

Burgess and Frolic raised funds via the ALCAN for cancer through Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer.

According to Hines, a motorcycle had a head gasket issue as well, but instead of calling around for spares the motorcyclist purchased a new bike and finished the race.

While Jan and Tim Burgess, the competitors in the TR4, did not win the ALCAN 5000 race but they did have a glass of champagne and a Havana cigar at the finish line in memory of a recently lost friend.

This year’s ALCAN 5000 competed during the summer, however the next ALCAN adventure, two years from now, will be a winter excursion.

Planning for the coming winter ALCAN has already concluded and applications are available upon request. The next race will be in February 2016.

As for this year, out of the 11 cars and 41 motorcycles that entered, most made it to the finish line. Many of those vehicles were in the

Competing in the ALCAN 5000 is not about trophies, it’s not about winning … According to most ALCAN participants, going on the ALCAN 5000 is about adventure, the things seen along the way and the company – whether by your side or in your thoughts.

The Lake Washington High School football team got the season off to a good start Sept. 4 with a 32-12 victory against Hazen at home.

But the Kangs did not have a good start to the game, falling behind 12-0 by the start of the second quarter thanks to a sustained touchdown drive by the Renton team and a fumble recovery that was returned 98 yards for a score.

A five-yard touchdown run by LW’s Riley Simonson cut the lead to just five points.

The Kangs regrouped at halftime and came out throwing the ball. Quarterback DJ Mann found Spencer Muller for a 30-yard touchdown pass to take a two-point lead. The Kangs struck again on their next possession, as Mann finished off the drive by throwing a seven-yard touchdown pass to Braun Inslee.

Elliot Phillips took over the fourth quarter for Lake Washington. The senior running back found the end zone from ten-yards out but it was the last score of the game that most fans will remember as he sprinted 70 yards for a touchdown.

In addition to their headquarters, FOY also built facility in Totem Lake, as well as Redmond.

The facilities are designed to help homeless youth stay off the streets. While family conflicts are the number one reason, high unemployment makes it difficult for them to find work, particularly 18-year-olds whose families are unable to support them.

“Kids were hit disproportionately in the economy,” she said. “Families were in conflict, kids were being asked to leave. Kids didn’t have enough income to support. There were a lot of reasons the economic downtown really exacerbated the situation.”

Heroin use has also required FOY to provide counseling to help teens

and young adults overcome drug addiction.

Despite the increase in need, Pottmeyer says she sees a brighter future. Partnerships include youth services at both King County and Snohomish County, as well as Auburn, which allows them to collaborate.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
