Lake Washington School District officials revealed more than 100 pages of documents this week from an internal investigation that resulted in the dismissal of a Juanita High School security guard. The investigation launched on Jan. 23 after a 16-year-old girl and her mother claimed the security guard hurt her when he allegedly forced her into the principal’s office. The girl had been disobedient when he asked her to get off of a school lunch table and she repeatedly refused to go to the office, the investigation documents state. In late May, Juanita High School students held a protest to bring back Jeff Lewis, the former security guard, when it was clear he would not be returning from a then-fourmonth-long paid administrative leave of absence. Students, parents and teachers also wrote letters to the district’s school board and 500 students signed a petition

in support of Lewis’s return. But district officials could not disclose why he would not return and many people in the community were left wondering how Lewis – who the district recognized as an exemplary staff member last March – could be put in such a situation.

The incident In a written statement on Jan. 23, a Juanita High School female student described how she was treated in an incident that happened that morning. Because it was a combined lunch due to finals, the lunchroom was crowded and she and a friend were sitting on a table near the art hall. Lewis told the girls to get off the table. The girl, who remains anonymous due to privacy laws, explained she forgot and sat back down a while later. As the girls resumed conversing, Lewis walked by and saw the girls on the table again. “I gave him a small smile to say ‘oops and that I’m [ more DISTRICT page 2 ]

A

Redmond woman was sentenced to 20 years in prison June 28 in King County Superior Court for poisoning her ex-boyfriend to death with insecticide-laced Jagermeister in 2006. Janjira Jeffrey Smith, 58, killed her former boyfriend,

Kirkland resident Roger Lewis, and severely injured his girlfriend using a highly toxic insecticide, methomyl, to poison a bottle of alcohol the two drank from in a Kirkland apartment in 2006. Smith was also sentenced to an additional 14 months in prison for second-degree assault. During the seven-year investigation, first-degree

decided to move on with his life that if she could not have him, no one would. And she killed him.” Before the poisoning, Lewis had recently ended an 18-month relationship with Smith, the documents state. Lewis took a trip to the Philippines and upon his return to Kirkland, he told Smith that he met another woman who he was going to marry.

Kris Blanch, the athletic secretary, also wrote a witness statement but only described seeing Lewis telling the girl to sit down and that he “may have” had his hand on her shoulder.

Contradictions The day of the incident, the girl’s mother Mercete Gogo came to pick her up and saw her daughter in tears. After going to the office demanding to know what happened, principal Gary Moed explained the district’s protocol for how investigations are handled; however, unsatisfied, Gogo called police, according to the Kirkland police report. A witness statement with a redacted name, but clear to be Moed’s statement, indicates that after speaking with the mother, he asked to see if there was an injury. “I did not observe any discoloration,” the statement said. Corporal Deb McGuire came to the school to speak with the parties involved and only determined it an incident. McGuire said in a police report the only discoloration she could see on the girl’s arm was from where she had been previously rubbing it. Gogo took her daughter to the emergency room to be examined. The next day Gogo informed school officials that doctors found abrasions on the elbow that Lewis allegedly grabbed, according to the investigation documents. She said her daughter’s leg had a knick on it and that Lewis’s handprint was on her arm. But when school officials asked to see the documentation, Gogo said she would “take care of it” and that she would be contacting police later that day to make an addendum to the initial police report. When district attorneys asked Kirkland police for the addendum, they were told there had been no further calls or reports. “We are looking to the employee’s actions and also assessing our future risk if the family files a lawsuit against the district,” wrote the school district’s attorney David Seeley to Kirkland police in an

email on Feb. 1. “ … We are therefore trying to determine if there was a second police report actually made by the mother and if there was, we would like to obtain a copy of the report. Obviously it is important for the district to know if the student was actually injured and at this point, the mother is refusing to provide the district with that information.” When the Reporter spoke to Gogo on June 24, she declined to provide information on the supposed photos she took of her daughter’s arm. “The investigation was based off of witness statements and interviews … and it’s based off of their testimonies and that’s the bottom line,” said Gogo, who eventually moved her daughter to a different school due to bullying. “ … They made the determination that there’s sufficient evidence to dismiss [Lewis] and it’s legitimate.”

Lewis’s past In 2007, Lewis was placed on paid administrative leave during an Edmonds School District investigation, documents state. Lewis was involved in an incident that led to an autistic student’s broken wrist. But after three months of investigating, the Edmonds School District assistant superintendent Ken Limon informed Lewis on Oct. 8, 2007 that based on the information gathered, he did not believe Lewis deliberately or willfully sought to cause the student injury during the physical interaction. Furthermore, the decision was based on testimony from Lewis and other witnesses who explained it was merely an accident and the student had been aggressive. Edmonds School District documents state on June 21, 2007 Lewis, who worked with special needs students at Lynnwood High School at the time, removed an aggressive male student from a classroom. The student had disobeyed the teacher and began to slap her until Lewis stepped in. Once outside the classroom, the student grabbed at Lewis and hit him several times. Lewis told the student to “stop” and “make good

choices” and gently pushed him back more than once, the documents continue. In his testimony, Lewis said this was the way to deal with this particular child’s tantrums. But the boy fell backwards and subsequently broke his wrist. After the school district consulted with police and understood there wouldn’t be any charges filed, the mother and the school district settled the dispute for $40,000 and paid $79,000 toward the mother’s attorney fees. Lewis explained he was told to push the student back, as opposed to other moves, such as a “take down” or a “wall hold” because those maneuvers would hurt the student, according to the investigation. Lewis was back at Lynnwood High School for the start of the new school year.

Terms of agreement In the middle of Lewis’s paid leave from Juanita High School, Darryl Pernat, the associate director of human resources for the Lake Washington School District, sent a letter to Lewis on March 14. Pernat gave Lewis the opportunity to respond to allegations that he “acted inappropriately toward a student … which culminated in [Lewis] grabbing her by the backpack and possibly by the arm, which in turn is alleged to have caused bruising.” Pernat cited the district’s staff conduct policy, which states the board expects staff will set an example for students by their own behavior and create a friendly, yet professional, environment. Investigation documents do not reveal whether Lewis met with Pernat on the scheduled meeting for March 18 but Lewis’s account in the previously mentioned broken notes match the same date. Then in early May, investigation documents show email correspondence between Pernat and Lewis’s attorney Judith Lonnquist. The two negotiated on the terms of Lewis’s resignation in lieu of being terminated “for cause,” according to a May 1 email from Lonnquist. Pernat said in a May 2 email that the district planned on terminating Lewis on May 6, but should Lewis resign prior to that time, the district would accept his resignation immediately and pay him through June. But after seeing requested documents, Lonnquist shot back in an email that Lewis “acted within the course and scope of his duties” and that the police and school [ more JUANITA page 6 ]

District’s goals for students and schools

T

his June I enjoyed attending high school graduation ceremonies and watching proud families cheer their seniors as they crossed the stage to receive their diplomas. The core of our district mission is to help all students graduate. We are proud of our 94 percent on-time graduation rate, though we continue to strive toward 100 percent. Our district vision speaks to preparing students for college and career. Currently, approximately 79 percent of Lake Washington students enroll in some form of post-secondary education immediately following graduation. That number compares favorably to other districts, and we continue to work toward increasing that percentage. In getting students to that high school diploma, schools at all levels continue to strive for excellence. Twenty of the district’s 51 schools were honored this spring with Washington Achievement awards, some in multiple categories. We have accomplished a lot this year. It’s easy to forget that our schools had a different grade configuration just a year ago. We now are settled into our new grades K-5 elementary, 6-8 middle school and 9-12 high school system. To make room for that additional grade at high school, we opened additions at Eastlake and Redmond High School, and the new STEM High School. By moving one grade out of the elementary schools, we created space that is needed for our growing elementary population. The second phase of the district’s school modernization program is also nearing completion. Three new elementary school buildings opened last fall (Keller, Muir, Sandburg/Discovery). Part of the new Rush Elementary opened mid-year. Next fall, Bell Elementary, Rose Hill Middle School/Stella Schola and International Community School/Community School will Traci Pierce

reopen in new buildings and the rest of Rush Elementary will be completed. Those projects will complete Phase Two of the modernization program, thanks to bonds passed by voters in 2006. We introduced a new “1:1” technology initiative this year, providing a small laptop or netbook computer to all students in grades six through 12. Introducing 12,500 more devices onto our network helped identify where our computer infrastructure needs improvement. Along with the new laptop program, teachers and students began to use a new learning management system, allowing teachers to post assignments, calendars, information and communication online in a safe environment. Next year, we will implement new literacy curriculum materials for preschool through grade six, aligned with the new, more rigorous Common Core State Standards that Washington state, along with 44 other states across the country, has adopted.

Also new next year will be a state-mandated professional growth and evaluation system for teachers and principals. Lake Washington School District has had a teacher professional growth and evaluation system in place for the past 13 years that is very similar to the new state system. The new principal evaluation system will be a change. We have spent this year planning for implementation by piloting the new system. All of the efforts I’ve written about here are part of our overall strategic plan to accomplish our mission and vision as a school district. Our focus is on ensuring academic success for every student. Our ultimate goal is for all of our students to graduate, ready to take the next step toward a bright and promising future.

Disappointed the Reporter overlooked accomplishment I am writing to share my deep disappointment for your decision to overlook the Kirkland American Coast Indians’ accomplishment that they had an undefeated season. I had shared with the parents and coaches to watch for the upcoming Kirkland Reporter as I had submitted the details that would allow you to publish this amazing and historical event. I was excited to hear, and sad for the reputation of the Reporter, that parents would “open it for the first time … because there was now a reason!” Unfortunately, when they opened up the Reporter and there was no mention of this incredible feat these boys have accomplished this season, you, the Kirkland Reporter, cemented a decision in many of your readerships’ minds: “There is no need to open [the paper], because there is nothing relevant to me and my life.” And sadly for both you and me, it made an impression of “why bother sharing amazing Kirkland community-impacting events when they aren’t going to be appreciated and addressed by the vary medium/media that could and should be addressing them?” I hope that you actually read this letter slowly, embracing every word, and will take to heart that you missed an incredible opportunity to touch your readership and the hearts and minds of many outside of this community by highlighting an amazing and historical season of hard work, perseverance, teamwork and staying power - everything the world and businesses are crying out for. And yet this is not of interest to the Kirkland Reporter.

Sad and disappointed Kirkland resident of 21 years.

Appropriate regulations needed for zoning Early in the new Comprehensive Plan process, citizens need to underscore the urgency around implementing appropriate development regulations for neighborhood business zoning. In the recent council packet, it states: “What issues do you hope your city focuses on as it plans for the year 2035?” The packet continues: “Allow small stores in residential-zoned areas. Like grocery stores with apartments above.” Caution 1: Was this truly a citizen desire or a staff-initiated idea? Beware of misrepresentation. Caution 2: This is the traditional interpretation of “Neighborhood Business.” Historically, it was a shop(s), where the business owner or a few residents might live above. The residential use was the secondary use and

providing some useful goods and services to the neighbors remained the primary use. Somehow, “Neighborhood Business” has became misconstrued. For example, the Potala Village proposal on a Neighborhood Business property was approved by the Comprehensive Plan process as “lowest intensity use.” Does the project meet any of the restrictions for this “limited” commercial use? According to the Comprehensive Plan, one of the restrictions for that property is an “individual store, or a very small mixed-use building.” No, the project doesn’t meet that restriction. The Comprehensive Plan also states a property in that zone should focus on local pedestrian traffic; residential scale and design are critical within that zone; uses may include corner grocery stores; integrate these uses into the local neighborhood; and can include small service businesses (social service outlets and daycares). No, the project does not meet those restrictions. If the small stores with apartments above are considered, one must think forward to how this concept has been misapplied in the current situation. Ask the city to show that this has been a citizenraised issue, or ask them to properly state that this is being proposed by staff. Ask the city to provide specific zoning limiting the bulk, lot coverage, height and the residential density allowed. Somehow this zoning must allow for certain options for a developer, without the opportunity to maximize everything at once and thus create something that is 65 times bigger than the surrounding buildings, as is Potala.

BRIEFS Juanita Rebels place fifth at state softball tournament The Juanita High School softball team finished the 2013 season tied for fifth place at the State 3A tournament in Lacey, May 24-25. The road to state included winning the Sea-King District title on May 16, the KingCo 3A tournament on May 10, and the KingCo 3A/2A regular season crown. The Rebels’ season did not start so auspiciously, with the team losing four of their first five games by narrow margins. A four-run seventh inning rally to defeat Liberty on March 21 helped to turn the season around. That come-from-behind victory was the first of five straight, with the only setback being a second loss to Mount Si on April 9. Two close, but solid, wins against a strong Lake Washington team were highlights of the stretch run to the KingCo 3A/2A

The Juanita Rebels recently finished fifth at the 3A state tournament in Lacey. CONTRIBUTED title, and a final 12-2 regular season conference record. Moving into post-season play, Juanita took the KingCo 3A tournament edging Mercer Island, and then taking the No. 1 district seed with a strong win against Mount Si. The momentum continued at Sea-King Districts with consecutive wins against Seattle Prep, Bishop Blanchet and Holy Names. “This season was a season of surprises, the expectation of our team this year was very low,” head coach Kristian Dahl said. “Nobody thought we could get out of our league, let alone win the league and districts … We had a number of seniors that stepped up for us this season: Cami Pettengill, Molly Steck, Katie

Kirkland resident, coxswain named AllAmerican Western Washington University’s Maeghan Callegari, the Vikings’ varsity coxswain was named firstteam Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Division II Pocock AllAmerican on May 28.

The Kirkland native played a key role in the university’s bid to win an eighth national title at the 12th Annual NCAA II National Championships held at Eagle Creek Park near Indianapolis, Ind.

At the National Junior College Athletic Association Outdoor Track and Field Competition held in May in Hutchinson, Kan., Betton took ninth in the decathlon competition.

The USO – Supporting Our Troops Overseas and at Home When people think of the USO (United Services Organizations) many often think of the entertainment tours they sponsor for our troops in combat zones or the care packages they send out. These important services are actually just a small part of the wide-ranging work the USO is doing to support our U.S. military service personnel and their families. In fact, while many of the USO’s services are focused on supporting our troops in the field, a growing number of services are targeted at supporting the troops returning home and their families. QFC is proud to support the work the USO does to support our troops. The USO is our Charity of the Month for July. The USO was created in 1941 and has been continually active since 1951, but it is really only within the last decade that it has experienced a profound growth in the services it offers to pursue its mission, which is: The USO lifts the spirits of America’s troops and their families. Among the programs and services of the USO are: • USO centers for troops and families that include: – – – – –

“USO in box” for troops in isolated combat areas USO on wheels also for troops in the field USO Day Rooms in hospitals and medical facilities The Wounded Warrior Center in Landstuhl, Germany Two USO Centers at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to support the families of fallen soldiers

• Operation Phone Home to facilitate calls from troops to their families • Pro vs. G.I. Joe, a real-time video gaming experience

that pairs soldiers against professional athletes • Health and Recreation Programs including: – Ride to Recovery, a cycling program, and Warrior Games, Olympic-style athletic competitions • Family Strengthening Programs such as: – A program featuring entertainer Trevor Romain to support military children as they adjust to a “new normal” with a wounded parent – Oxygen Couples Seminar to help work on and strengthen relationship issues

• Grief Counseling such as: – TAPS - Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors – Grief camps for children The USO is a nonprofit, congressionally chartered, private organization and is not part of the U.S. government. It relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to support its activities. If you would like to support the great work of the USO in supporting our troops please hand a donation card to your checker the next time you visit QFC. Thank you!

– Healing Adventures Camps for families with a wounded or ill parent • Education and employment services such as: – Hire Heroes USA/USO Workshops – Career Opportunity Days – Purpose Driven Rehab – Rivers of Recovery, fly-fishing program with an emphasis on female wounded warriors • Operation Enduring Care Paid Adver tisement

Previously at Marina Park, the children’s concerts will take place every Tuesday from 10 to 11 a.m. at Juanita Beach Park. “We think it will be a lot more convenient for parents with their strollers because parking is right there at the beach and afterwards there’s the playground if they want to stay there as well,” said Julie Metteer, an organizer of the concert series. Children may enjoy Cowboy Buck and Elizabeth’s “high-energy, interactive musical comedy, dance, singalong and ventriloquism” as they kick off the first children’s concert.

City appeals Potala Village ruling The city of Kirkland has filed an appeal over a judge’s ruling in May to allow Bellevue developer Lobsang Dargey to build his Potala Village project under the original zoning that was in place when he applied for a permit in 2011. The city seeks the action, which will cause it to lose a highly effective and beloved member of the Juanita High School community.” However, because of personal reasons Lewis decided to resign as long as the agreement was mutual. Per separation agreement documents, the district agreed to pay Lewis through August and will provide medical benefits through September. The district agreed to remove his personnel files related to the incident as well as

Assault: 10:57 p.m., 13100 block of NE 129th St. A 22-year-old man was taken into custody for punching his mother in the back and throwing his sister against the wall and to the floor.

Washington State Court of Appeals’ consideration of the King County Superior Court ruling that declared the proposed mixed-used project was entitled to apply for development and building permits under the city’s pre-moratorium codes. The city disagrees with the vesting rule and on Tuesday filed its appeal due to statutory requirements. Judge Monica Benton on May 13 ruled the developer was vested under city codes when he applied for development permits, including a shoreline permit, in 2011. The city sought a reconsideration of the vesting ruling, which Benton granted on May 29. However, on June 3 she denied the city’s motion, stating in her order that she “mistakenly filed an order granting reconsideration.” It is unknown when the city’s appeal will be heard by the Appeals Court. But as of July 2, the Potala Village building permit was submitted for 97 residential units and 7,985-square-feet of commercial space.

to return a vindication letter from the Edmonds School District, which exonerated Lewis from any alleged wrongdoing. But the district declined to provide a letter of recommendation or reference and Lewis agreed to make himself available to provide “truthful testimony on behalf of the [district] in regard to any future proceedings brought by the student at issue.”

Getting Divorced? Preserve Your Privacy Did you know that divorce files are open to the public for anyone to read? Would you like to make your own decisions regarding property division, support and parenting? If so, rather than the traditional route you’ve read about, you might consider a more co-operative approach. When engaged in a co-operative divorce a couple keeps court filings to the minimum required to obtain a final decree. The settlement terms, financial disclosure and other concerns remain private. If there is a parenting recommendation by an evaluator or counselor, the information remains confidential to the parties and their attorneys. All the details are in a private contract that is not filed in any public record or even seen by a judge. No one even has to appear in court. The privacy concern is probably one of the most important reasons to work with an attorney rather than on-line programs or DIY divorce. Often do-it-yourselfers ask me to review their documents and I am amazed at how willing they are to list all their assets, all their debt, company information and other private information in the documents. No one tells them there is another way. My version of do your own divorce means without court intervention. You don’t need a judge to tell you what to do about your children or your property. You can hire experts than can help you make those decisions, if needed. Experts will work with you to achieve your goals based on your interests and your children’s needs.

What constitutes a co-operative divorce? This can range from a couple that agrees on everything and asks an attorney to draft final documents, a mediated divorce model where the couple works with one attorney on resolving the various issues and preparing the final documents, and all the way to a complex situation in which both sides have attorneys but the attorneys and parties contract to keep the matter out of court. In addition to the privacy issues, a cooperative divorce costs about one-third of the traditional litigated divorce. Studies have shown that the outcomes do not have to be one sided or influenced by the person with the stronger personality. The structure of the process can provide even more fairness than litigation. Most importantly, the outcomes are resolved. Litigated divorces are often re-litigated and continue to be modified even years later. The evidence is that parties are more apt to keep the agreements they worked on cooperatively and don’t have to go back to court. Most importantly: PRIVACY IS PRESERVED.

Even though HarginMuller has had her sights set on nursing since she was a little girl, it wasn’t easy. As a result of her treatments, she developed “chemo brain,” a condition that she said, “pickles” the brain and affects a person’s cognitive thinking. Getting a degree is do-able, Hargin-Muller said, but difficult. A science degree, such as one in nursing, is even more difficult as it requires a lot of memorizing and “chemo brain” affects a person’s rote memory, she said. Hargin-Muller began showing signs of the condition in elementary school. “It was so hard to get through college,” said Hargin-Muller, who chose to get her degree in five years to make her course load more manageable. “It was like running a marathon.” Hargin said any parent is proud to see their

Cassandra Hargin-Muller proudly displays the diploma she received after graduating from Seattle University’s College of Nursing this month.

Thomas Charles Lovitt died on June 25th. He was 82 years old. He was born in Hutchinson, Kansas on September 23, 1930 and grew up in Burrton, Kansas. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1952 where he majored in music. In that same year he married Althea “Polly” Owen and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. In their four service years they were stationed in Texas, Maryland, and Colorado. When discharged Tom enrolled at the Eastman School of Music. After a few months there he accepted positions as a trumpet player in the Kansas City Philharmonic and trumpet instructor at the Kansas City Conservatory. For two summers, in 1956 and 1957, he was the principal trumpet in the orchestra for the Santa Fe Opera Company. In 1960 he earned a master’s degree in music from the University of Kansas. In 1962 Tom transitioned from music to special education. He taught for two years in North Kansas City, Missouri and at the University of Kansas Medical Center before receiving his doctorate in special education from the University Kansas in 1966. That year he accepted a position at the University of Washington and remained there until his retirement in 1997. Tom and Polly made many life-long friends among the faculty and students at the university. Through his work in education, Tom touched the lives of countless educators and children. Following his retirement he served as an advocate for neglected or abused children. He also assisted in a first grade class at Frost Elementary, where he was with the same teacher for 11 years. Tom joined the Salvation Army in 2006 and played cornet in their brass band. He loved the organization. Polly, Tom’s wife of nearly 59 years, died in December 2010. In his last months Tom wrote the story of her life and established a scholarship in her honor at the University of Kansas, where she had graduated. Tom is survived by his sister Jane (Richard) Lagasse of Conway, Arkansas and four children: Kathleen (Richard) in Tacoma, Mark (Sylvia) in Bothell, Bryan (Maria) in Bothell, and Dan (Beth) in Redmond.

While in the past, Hargin-Muller, who graduated from Redmond High School in 2008 and now lives in Kirkland, has entered the hospital as a patient, this summer, she will be on the other side of the medical chart. Earlier this month, she graduated from Seattle University’s College of Nursing and will soon begin a summer internship in Children’s pediatric oncology unit — the same unit in which she was treated as a kid, though it is in a new wing of the hospital. Hargin-Muller was diagnosed in November 1995 at age 5. She received chemotherapy and radiation and underwent nine surgical procedures to remove a grapefruit-sized tumor in her left gluteal muscle near her hip. She went into remission by July 1996 and since then, has been cancer free. Despite her grave

child finish college but for him, watching his daughter power through some of the post-treatment obstacles she has faced, “has been nothing short of amazing.” Hargin-Muller said after what she went through academically, she wants to work on making resources available to students struggling with “chemo brain.” She pointed out that accommodations are made for individuals with dyslexia and attention deficit disorder; “chemo brain” is just as real a condition. Although it would have been nice for someone to initiate this while she was in school, Hargin-Muller has no problem taking on a leading role. “I am happy to be a pioneer,” she said.

helped, as well. “We also made friends with a number of families whose kids were going through treatment at the same time,” Hargin said. “There’s kind of a camaraderie that develops as you go through the same thing together.”

C

assandra HarginMuller has no qualms admitting she is a bit different from others. First of all, she considers Seattle Children’s Hospital a second home and calls it her “happy place.” Second of all, she looks back at the time she was diagnosed with and treated for stagefour rhabdomyosarcoma — a type of muscle cancer — with fond memories. And finally, after (reluctantly) aging out of Children’s, the Kirkland resident is returning to the place where she received intense chemotherapy and radiation treatments for her condition — all with a big smile on her face. “The Children’s Hospital cockroach,” she said with a laugh, describing how she’s not making it easy for the hospital to get rid of her.

prognosis, Hargin-Muller said she enjoyed her time at Children’s because the nurses and doctors were so nice, she made friends and the environment was so kid friendly. “They do such a good job of making it not sterile,” she said, adding that Children’s always has activities to keep kids and families busy such as visits from Santa, clowns, hospital dogs and more. “They’re really catering to kids.” Hargin-Muller said she couldn’t have asked for a better experience and as a result, she grew up looking up to the nurses who treated her rather than the singers, actresses and other celebrities young girls typically idolize. In deciding to go into the medical field, HarginMuller said she chose to be a nurse rather than a doctor because nurses have a bigger role in a patient’s treatment and are more involved. She also chose to go into pediatric oncology with the goal of returning to Children’s. “That is the only place I will ever want to work,” she said. Help from the community Hargin-Muller, now 23, said another reason she wasn’t too scared during her illness was because she was still fairly young and oblivious to the seriousness of her situation. Her parents, however, were fully aware of her condition. “I really struggled at first — realizing that the apple of my eye had just been diagnosed with something that carried a 25 percent survival prognosis,” said Hargin-Muller’s father Bill Hargin. Hargin said they were able to turn to family, their church community and neighbors for support and help with meals, house cleaning and other logistics. He said the people at Children’s and the Make-A-Wish Foundation
