Hudson, who was dressed in an orange jumpsuit with blonde hair, told the judge that she was “absolutely not guilty.”

“I think there was a tick of arrogance in that statement,” said Tom Kamm, nephew of Joyce Parsons who was killed in the wreck. “� is is frustrating because no one

� e LWSD board of directors unanimously approved a $238.8 mil-lion general spending plan and $151.1 million for the capital fund, which includes voter-approved construc-tion and technology projects.

Hudson was granted a postponement of her bail hearing and will remain in jail until her next court date on Sept. 10.

Hudson is suspected of crossing the center line on Juanita Drive and killing Parsons, 81, of Kirkland, and injuring three others on the night of Aug. 7. Arthur Kamm, Daniel J. Grieshaber and Jenny Grieshaber, who were in the Toyota Pruis with Parsons, were returning home from an Argosy Cruise when they were hit head-on by Hudson’s blue minivan. Kamm and Jenny Grie-shaber, 69, were transported to Harborview in critical condition after the accident. Daniel J. Grieshaber, 72, was transported to Evergreen with minor injuries.

The Kamm family is now attempting to deal with Ar-thur’s care. “He is 85 and change so this is pretty severe stuff,” said Tom Kamm about his father. “He has had two surgeries on his hip and pelvis and I don’t know how his ribs are.”

Hudson was also suspected of driving under the in-fluence of alcohol and prescription drugs, according to charging documents, but results of blood alcohol tests have not been released.

Police said that Hudson allegedly told them she had taken medication with wine earlier that evening.

Todd Bekins, a 44-year-old man from Vancouver, Wash., died in a one-car ac-cident Friday afternoon on I-405 at exit 18 in Kirkland.

Washington State Patrol trooper Julie Judson said Bekins was traveling north-bound in the exit lane when witnesses saw his Chevy Blazer “suddenly drive off the roadway and hit the pole of the exit sign.”

The Blazer caught fire and was “completely en-gulfed in flames” soon after.

Other commuters pulled the man out and performed CPR, said Judson. The driver was not wearing a seat belt, Judson said.

The King County Medi-cal Examiner’s Office said Bekins died from internal injuries.

The collision occurred around 2:20 p.m. and traf-fic stayed backed up into Friday evening.

As a film producer and director Rich Cowan has always

been behind the camera. As a candidate for U.S. Con-gress from Washington’s 5th District, he hopes to take center stage.

“I have a background and

passion for small busi-nesses,” Cowan said. His biggest issue will be to focus on family wage jobs.

Cowan said he will bring a new perspective to the 5th District, which covers an

area from Canada to Idaho and Oregon.

“When people are work-ing, it solves a lot of other problems,” he said.

The former Kirkland resident and Juanita High

School graduate will face 8-year-incumbent Re-publican Cathy McMorris Rodgers in the November general election. McMorris Rodgers is the fifth-highest-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives and is running for her fifth term as well. This will be Cowan’s first time running.

Cowan said that his op-

ponent is a “career politi-cian,” saying his experience in a grassroots company could give him an advan-tage.

The entrepreneur started a film production company

in 1990 called North by Northwest Productions. Now, his business employs 40 full-time workers and has produced 45 feature length films. His company expanded to five other divisions that produce TV commercials, industrial videos, documentaries and websites.

Support inclusion of LGBT rights

I was very honored to have been a sponsor at a Garden Party for Marriage Equality held over in Se-attle last weekend. It was co-hosted by the owners of � ey Lobby Bar and was an extremely well-attended event that raised over $20,000. We were also lucky enough to have Senator Ed Murray as one of the guest speakers, who gave a great speech detailing the e� orts that have been made so far.

I have been very invested in this � ght for a long time now, but it was actually being surrounded by a group of like-minded people that really brought the importance of this to mind. � is really is a civil rights movement for our time, and should not be even remotely thought of as anything else.

� ere are a great deal of rights and privileges that go along with marriage that gay people should be just as entitled to as straight people, but there is a lot more at stake than that. By saying that gay people are not entitled to getting married we would be sending a very strong and powerful message to people that homosexuality it not seen as a nor-mal thing and that homosexuals are not a valid part of the community.

If you would like to stop and consider that for a moment it will be detrimental on a large number of grounds and most importantly for the children of gays and lesbians

but also children who identify as being gay themselves. � e news has been full of religious leaders com-ing out against the gay community and if we allow that to continue we are not allowing our gay children to feel valued.

I urge everyone that supports the full inclusion of LGBT rights to take the time to talk to people that are either against R-74 or are on the fence. You can volunteer with the Washington United for Mar-riage group – they are carrying out phone banking events all the time on our side of the water now.

� anks, on behalf of the whole LGBT community.Shaun Kelly, Kirkland

Discovery Pass is a real bargain at $30

� e Aug. 24 edition of the Reporter featured an editorial on funding of Washington State Parks. � e writer suggested that funds for maintaining the statewide system of more than 100 parks could be allocated from already raised tax revenue.

As a longtime resident my fam-ily has enjoyed many of the parks throughout the state. We purchased an annual Discovery Pass this year and have used it many times. � is is a convenient way to help support the park system and eliminate hassle at the pay box. � e $30 charge for the annual day-use pass has been a genuine value as we have used it many times over the three-

times daily rate of ten dollars.I agree the state should continue

to support our lovely parks, not eliminate funding for them in 2013 as is currently planned. Use of the Discovery Pass is one way to help o� set the cost of operating these vi-tal open spaces but it’s not enough. Please contact your state repre-sentatives and let them know you expect the park system to endure these hard times for future genera-tions to discover and enjoy.Ira Worden, Kirkland

Skullduggery afoot to get Potala built

It seems there is no end to the city planners’ devious e� orts to get the Potala project built despite 18 months of citizen objection, two moratoriums by the city council, legal objections and countless meetings.

� is building is to be four stories high with two subterranean park-ing garages housing 316 more cars to hit our Lake St. and side streets. � ese condos are expected to num-ber 143 units with 500 square feet of living space.

Potala’s original plan called for over 180 units which was initially allowed by city planners without an Environment impact Statement. A� er loud objections, the city back-tracked and required the EIS.

Now the builder, Mr. Dargey, has requested and the city acceded to his request to adjust the EIS to “meet his budget.” Really? An

abridged EIS? Anything less than a full and complete EIS will have no integrity or believability.

As to the EIS itself, a comprehen-sive and objective study to deter-mine the feasibility of a project, an outside agency is selected to conduct the EIS. In discussions with the city they gave assurances that the study would, in fact, be unbiased.

What agency was selected? Inova was selected. � is agency is headed by Joseph Tovar, former director of planning for the city of Kirkland and perhaps some former city employees as well.

Since other agencies were avail-able, why this one? At a city meet-ing a week ago, a few knowledge-able people spoke to many errors in the way Inova computed the average units per acre leading to a better justi� cation for Mr. Dargey’s project.

Perhaps lastly and most impor-tantly the city has seen � t to allow only two outcomes: build it with 143 units or reject the whole proj-ect. So...modi� cations and compro-mise are not possible. Really? Why?

� e � nal question is this: Who has given the city the authority to behave in such a dictatorial man-ner? Some 800 citizens signed up as opposed to this project. � ese people live here, pay taxes here and vote here and Mr. Dargey doesn’t. � e City Council needs to step up and put an end to the duplicity and arrogance of this city’s planners.J. F. Rogers, Kirkland

Changes are common in any job and in any business. Changes have been a big part

of journalism during the past decade as shrinking budgets mean less sta� . But positive changes are in store for the sta� s of the Kirkland, Redmond and Bothell/Kenmore Reporter sta� s.

One of the biggest changes is the naming of Carrie Rodriguez as the regional editor for the Kirkland and Bothell/Kenmore Reporter newspapers. Rodriguez has been the editor of the Kirkland Reporter for four years and has won numerous awards for her work as editor and as a reporter for the paper.

Rodriguez began her career with Sound Publishing in 2006 as a news clerk a� er graduating from the University of Washington with a bachelor’s degree in communications and a second degree in English. She quickly moved on several months later to take a reporting position with the Bellevue Reporter, where she covered city news, schools, arts, business for several years.

She is currently on maternity leave and looks forward to assuming her new role as regional editor when she

returns on Oct. 1.Matt Phelps, currently the interim

editor of the Kirkland Reporter newspaper, has been named assistant editor of the Bothell/Kenmore Reporter, a sister paper covering the northshore area.

Phelps began his career with Sound Publishing as the sports edi-tor for the Whidbey News-Times in 2000 a� er graduating from the University of Washington. He spent eight years as sports editor with the Mercer Island Reporter, where he won numerous writing and design awards from the Washington News-paper Publishers Association and the Society of Professional Journalists. He joined the Kirkland Reporter sta� in 2009.

Phelps succeeds Andy Nystrom, who has been named editor of the Redmond Reporter newspaper.

Joining the Kirkland Reporter sta� is reporter Raechel Dawson, a 2012 graduate of the University of Wash-ington. Dawson joined the Kirk-land Reporter sta� as a temporary reporter at the beginning of August and has accepted a full-time position with the paper.

Dawson covered the Washington

State Legislature as an intern with WNPA’s Olympia Bureau, and her work has appeared in numerous newspapers and online news sites around the Puget Sound region. While at UW she served as secretary of the university’s SPJ chapter, and was a member of Phi Sigma � eta National Honor Society.

Dawson will work with Phelps and Kirkland Reporter editor Carrie Ro-driguez in the Reporter newspapers’ Totem Lake o� ce.

� e appointments were an-nounced by Josh O’Connor, Sound Publishing’s vice president for East Sound operations, with the promo-tions taking e� ect Sept. 4.

It is nice to be able to announce advancement within our ranks and we believe it shows how strong the Reporter Newspapers have become over the years. We believe that these moves will not only strengthen the newsroom but also the news content that we bring to our readers.

Thirty years later, Cody Webster is still tuned in to the Little

League World Series. At age 12, he dominated

his opponents while pitch-ing Kirkland National Little League to a 5-0 champi-onship win over Taiwan in Williamsport, Pa. He blasted a 280-foot home run during that game and helped knock the Taiwanese off their five-straight-titles perch.

On a recent afternoon, sitting in a room at the Northshore Sports Com-plex in Woodinville, the 42-year-old Kirkland resi-dent and Bothell American Legion baseball coach checked out the TV screen while players from Cura-cao and Japan played on the same field he did three decades ago.

“It’s fun to watch this stuff. These kids seem like they’re bigger, stronger,

faster nowadays — they’re so polished,” he said. “I’m pretty sure even if I didn’t experience what I experi-enced, I’d be watching it because it’s a good show.”

Webster was clearly en-tertained: “Look at how big that kid is — Wow,” he said at one point. “Look how he wears that hat,” he chimed in later.

Following his Little League days, Webster at-tended Juanita High School, where his baseball and foot-ball teams won state titles.

During that time frame, he started thinking about coaching baseball, which is what he’s done on the Both-ell baseball scene for the last six years. He currently coaches the local American

Legion U-19 squad, which mainly features players from Bothell High, along with one from Inglemoor High and another from Cedar Park Christian.

Webster has coached most of the players since they were 11, including his nephew, Kellen, who will be a junior at Bothell High this year.

While his teams have experienced up-and-down years, he often plays them against older teams to pre-pare them for high-school ball.

When Webster was about 16 or 17 — the same age range as his players now — he started developing a coach’s mindset.

“I started getting inter-

ested and started paying at-tention more to my coaches and how they did stuff and why they did stuff. Kind of looked at the game in that different way,” Webster said.

“Obviously when I was 12, I didn’t think that way — I probably thought I was going to play until I was 90.”

HonInG sKILLsWhether he’s on the ball

field coaching and running camps, or helping play-ers hone their skills at the Northshore Sports Com-plex, Webster knows that tons of hard work will go a long way toward a player’s success.

He’s relaxed with the

kids, works individually with each player to have them playing at a top level and, most importantly, doesn’t put a lot of pressure on them, he said. Pressure was in abundance during Webster’s baseball days, and he wants to stay far away from that, he added.

“You’ve got to play every day, you’ve got to put a lot of time and effort into it to be good. That’s what we did, that’s how we won the World Series, that’s what I was taught,” Webster said. “We practiced eight, nine hours a day leading up to the tournament.

“Whatever your ceiling is, you’ll never reach it un-less you work your butt off.”

Todd Webster, one of Cody’s three older broth-ers and Kellen’s dad, feels that Cody’s experience as a successful player translates well into the coaching role. He can relate to his players, both on a personal level and skills-wise, Todd said.

“He recognizes a skill set and he wants the kids to achieve that,” said Todd, noting that as a father, he knows that Kellen is in

good hands with Cody smoothly guiding the teenager to a higher level, as well.

Near his desk at the sports complex hangs a large, framed picture of the 1982 Kirkland National team. Webster smiled when he looked at those boys of summer and discussed what that time meant to him.

“The thing that I take from the Little League experience is those guys — a lot of them I’m still good friends with.

There’s just a special bond there,” said Webster, noting that the supportive coaches and players’ families were also crucial parts of Kirk-land’s success.

Each time Kirkland won, the boys got to play another day. Everyone was still together when the dust on the baseball diamond cleared. Victory was theirs, right up until the last day of the season.

“It was great, we won the World Series,” Webster said. “But it kind of sucked that the summer was over be-cause it was so much fun.”

We are often asked “What is the best cat food avail-able?”

The real question is “What is the best diet for my cat?”

Unfortunately, there is no easy answer. Before we can help you determine the most appropriate diet for your cat, we’ll need to ask you some specific questions:

• How old is your cat?• What are you feeding

your cat now?• Does your cat have any

of these issues?– Itching (skin & coat is-

sues)– Weight problems– Digestive problems– Joint or muscle pain– Urinary or kidney is-

sues?We know, for example,

that some cats inherently have sensitive stomachs and that the long haired breeds often have hairball issues from grooming their fur. Many older cats have weight and joint issues. And, of course, growing kitties have special needs all their own.

Once we have a good un-derstanding of your cat’s needs, we can review your current diet and make appro-priate recommendations.

One thing you may not know: If you feed your cat dry kibble only, the odds are he is not getting enough water.

Cats are generally not big water drinkers. Cats get most of their moisture from food, so unless they are eat-ing canned or fresh food (70 – 80 percent water) they are not getting enough water no matter how much they drink.

Dry food is less than 10 percent water, so cats on dry food only are in a low-level,

chronic state of dehydra-tion. This is why many cats experience kidney disease, bladder problems, and uri-nary tract issues.

How do I ensure my cat is getting water? Start feeding canned or fresh raw foods that are high in meat con-tent (cats are carnivores). Almost any wet (canned) cat food is better than any dry food!

You also might consider a fountain for your cat to drink from. Moving water attracts cats, encourages

them to drink more water and to stay healthfully hy-drated.

Dooley’s Dog House offers a variety of nutritional op-tions for your cat, including the best canned foods, raw foods, supplements, vitamins, herbal and homeopathic remedies, and healthy treats. Come into our store for a free consultation.

Dooley’s on Market is lo-cated at 1421 Market St. Kirkland, WA 98033 and can be contacted at 425-889-2200.

Feed the cat (and feed him well)

Cowan and state Sen. Lisa Brown (D-Spokane) crafted Senate Bill 5539 this past winter, which was signed to law by Gov. Chris Gregoire. The law provides well-paying jobs to Eastern Washington by renewing Washington State’s incen-tive program, which allows film production companies to attract out of state inves-tors.

Cowan first became interested in TV and film production when he at-tended Juanita High School in the 1970s.

“I have so many memo-ries of Juanita,” Cowan said. “I made a lot of friends there. It was a time where you could be yourself be-fore college.”

It was at Juanita High where Cowan video taped high school sports for the

high school’s “Juanita TV News” show. And it was during high school when he got the chance to help direct TV at King 5.

Cowan played basketball, tennis, and was involved with the German exchange student program in addi-tion to attaining his pilot’s license on the side.

And is now a potential congressman at age 56.

“The reason I jumped

into this is because I’m getting more and more dissatisfied with the state of our congress,” Cowan said. “Things are not getting done.”

Cowan described himself as a moderate Democrat and said his goal for Con-

gress is to “come together as a group.”

He believes many con-gress members are con-sumed with their political party instead of focusing on the people of this country.

“I look forward to con-necting with workers,

families, businesses small and large and anyone who is interested in changing

the way Congress does business,” Cowan said in a March letter to constituents.
