It was such an amazing moment and I was so happy to be a part of it.” Lake Washington student Jordan Zigweid said when Tre was crowned, he was “very proud” that he voted for his good friend. Tre said as he was being crowned, he thought, “I can’t believe this is happening. This is the best day of my life.” Approximately 760 kids in grades nine through 12 voted; Tre received 89 percent of the vote, said Valerie Yob, the school’s activities director. During the homecoming game on Oct. 18, in which Lake Washington beat Interlake 56-20, Tre made a royal appearance. He and homecoming queen Maddie Shepard rode onto the field during the game as they sat atop a convertible, wearing their homecoming garb.

In a way, Tre holds the whole school together. Tre’s just opened arms, no matter what they look like, no matter who they are, Tre’s just there to take them in and make them a part of it.” Christina Thomas, Lake Washington High School principal, said she is “very proud” of the students’ support of Tre. His parents are also proud of the school and the Lake Washington School District. “It says a lot about the school that they would be really supportive,” Joe Walker said. “It was really something that the whole school got behind him and it just unified them. We are really proud of him and we’re really proud of the school too for their support.” Tawnee Walker said the school district has done a “great job” of building up the school community to be one of “support and inclusion.” Tre’s next moves will hopefully be seen on the basketball court. He plans on trying out for the basketball team. He is also gearing up to become a firefighter after high school. He is currently taking a fire and EMS course at Lake Washington Institute of Technology called Washington Network of Innovative Classes. Tre dons his fire gear and explains how heavy his boots are, weighing 10 pounds each. He says it only takes him 45 seconds to put on his “bunker” gear. “That’s super good,” he says.

Hopelink CEO steps down due to health reasons Marilyn Mason-Plunkett, the CEO of Hopelink, a key nonprofit organization serving homeless and lowincome children, families and individuals in North and East King County, has announced her resignation due to health reasons, effective Oct. 31. Mason-Plunkett served as Hopelink CEO since 2006. “We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Marilyn for her

outstanding leadership and vision, her focus on Hopelink’s long-term strategic direction, and for elevating Hopelink’s operational effectiveness. We thank her for her outstanding service to Hopelink clients, staff and partners during the past seven years,” said board chairman José Piñero. “Our thoughts are with Marilyn as she takes time to focus on health issues that may require an extended period of recovery. uWe are saddened by her departure from Hopelink but support her decision and wish to ex-
press our deep appreciation for her dedication, compassion and many contributions to the underserved in King County.” To ensure a smooth transition, the board of directors has designated Hopelink President/COO Lauren Thomas as Hopelink’s interim CEO while a search is conducted to find a permanent replacement for Mason-Plunkett. Thomas has a long and successful history of leadership in local nonprofits and has guided daily operations at Hopelink since 2010.
proposed,” Triplett said. “As soon as we’re able to talk to Prudential, we’ll have a better feel for what’s next.” But Triplett also believes the sale could prove to be a positive change for the project. “If anything, it’s likely to mean that something will happen [with Parkplace],” Triplett said. “I do think that the partnership was perhaps locked up in limbo and I think this gives Parkplace a chance to get unstuck. It’s the beginning of new movement with Parkplace, that’s my hope.” He said city officials consider the project to be one of the city’s top priorities and they will continue to work towards making Parkplace a vibrant economic area, regardless of who owns it. Triplett added that the city has enjoyed a “very good” relationship with Touchstone and the developers worked hard on the project. Prudential officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Metalwala hopes police will keep actively searching for his son. He urges concerned residents to send letters to the Bellevue Police Department, calling on officials to keep Sky’s case open. Bellevue and Redmond police detectives are still assigned to the missing child case. To date, investigators have pursued more than
2,200 tips and leads in this case, according to a Bellevue police news release. Investigators continue to seek the public’s help in locating Sky. “All leads to date have been exhausted. Any new lead that comes to us is followed up immediately,” said Major Pat Spak, com-
mander of Investigations at the Bellevue Police Department. “We want to find this child.” If anyone has any information regarding this case, they are urged to contact the Bellevue Police Department by sending an email to pdtipline@bellevuewa.gov or calling (425) 452-2564.

acquisition strategies. “Unfortunately, we could not come to agreement on a development plan and the buy-sell in our agreement favored Prudential’s ability to buy Touchstone out.” Hurd said Touchstone did “everything we could think of to find a path forward” and develop Parkplace within the plans the company developed with the city of Kirkland. As a result, Touchstone sold its interest in Parkplace to Prudential, which now entirely owns the site. Hurd declined to comment on the sale price. City officials said the sale leaves the project’s future uncertain. “At the moment, we don’t know what [the sale] means,” said Kurt Triplett, Kirkland city manager, noting the sale was a surprise to city officials. He said city staff will reach out to Prudential officials this week to see what the company’s plans are for Parkplace. “We don’t know if they want to sell it or develop it as

We do life like Sky’s right here,” said Metalwala, who lives in Kirkland with his daughter, Maile. “I’ll ask [my daughter] ‘do you think Sky might like this ice cream?’ and she says, ‘yeah, he’ll like it.’” He said his family will not take Sky “out of the family picture.

That’s how we keep Sky in the family and that’s how we live our life every day loving our Sky like he’s still here.” Sky was reported missing by his mother Julia Biryukova on Nov. 6, 2011 in Bellevue after she reportedly ran out of gas. The Redmond resident told police that she left Sky in her car and walked with her daughter to get help and when she returned the boy was gone. An intensive search took place, but the boy was not located. Two years later, Metalwala said “today is just like yesterday. It feels like I just hurt that he’s missing.

Legislature should adopt bi-partisan transportation package
C
ities are the economic engines of the state and Washington’s transportation system is the backbone of our economy, providing the vital connections that link our homes to our work places and carry products to market. A strong state and local transportation system is necessary to create and maintain living-wage jobs in our region. Our region is poised for continued economic recovery and growth, but that growth will be threatened if we do not invest, Joan McBride now, in livable and connected communities across the state. We urge our elected officials in Olympia to pass a balanced transportation investment package during the special session of the Legislature, recently convened by Gov. Jay Inslee. New multi-modal transportation investment is the key to a prosperous future for Kirkland walk needs. These projects are crucial to the safety and for the Puget Sound region.

The time is now for us to make a down payment toward this critical infrastructure, move people and goods, grow jobs and the economy, and retain the quality of life that makes our region and Kirkland such a special place to live.

Bills rack up at EvergreenHealth
drive around the north end of Lake Washington for medical treatment in Seattle.
I have noticed recent letters in the newspapers and political statements complimenting EvergreenHealth Medical Center. My recent trip to the emergency room and overnight stay at Evergreen do not support the glowing comments by its supporters. I was parked in the emergency room with no medical emergency for about four hours with the explanation that a room was unavailable. However, when I was wheeled to a room, there were several empty rooms along the corridor. I was the only occupant in my semi-private room. Because my bed was uncomfortable, I was awake all night and watched television. During the night, I listened to a man down the hall loudly begging for hours for someone to help him. My displeasure with Evergreen increased when I received their $16,331 bill. I was at Evergreen less than 20 hours and was charged $6,557 for rooms. For medical services, I compared Evergreen charges with those of the University of Washington Medical Center where I am monitored quarterly for a disease. Two examples stand out: An EKG at Evergreen cost $320, but at UW Medical, $208; and laboratory for mostly identical blood tests at Evergreen cost $1,746, but at UW Medical $385. I departed Evergreen with another unwelcome surprise. Two days after leaving, I had a bloody urinary discharge from a bladder infection that required a visit to an urologist, and a $250 bill for antibiotics. This episode confirms advice from a friend and my long-held belief that it is better to
Response to LWSD letter
Edward Bell, Kirkland
In last week’s issue of the Reporter, Superintendent Traci Pierce offered a rebuttal to my previously published letter criticizing the Lake Washington School District’s policy of tearing down and replacing our schools instead of modernizing them as promised. My letter also objected to spending hundreds of millions of dollars more to do so, using money that could have been better used to modernize the rest of our schools and provide for growth. We spent more than $65 million more to rebuild Lake Washington High School than to modernize it. I asserted that we could have built six new elementary or three new junior high schools to handle growth with that money by state standards (allowable area and cost allocations). Pierce argued that wasn’t possible because the district spends up to twice as much money for new construction and requires much more space than the state allows. She didn’t point out, however, that it would still have been possible to build two new elementary schools or most of a new junior high to handle growth with that 65 million, even at twice the state standards and with all the extra space the district requires. Or that the money could have been used instead to modernize several other of our buildings still waiting their turn to be replaced.Pierce stated that “new in lieu” studies were made to estimate the cost of remodeling versus the cost of new schools Actually, these estimates were required by the state to
support the district’s applications for state assistance to build new schools instead of modernizing them. State support for modernization is restricted by state law to major remodeling of existing structures. In order to qualify for new construction instead of modernizing an existing building, the district must show that remodeling would cost more than a new building. A review of several of those estimates for remodeling shows that they were loaded with several millions of dollars for non-remodeling items. Included were such items as additions, site development, site utilities, off site work, demolition of the existing structure and so on. The estimate for remodeling Rose Hill Junior High included, among other non remodeling items, a cost of $12.8 million for additions, $4.1 million for site development and $1.7 million for demolition of the existing structure. Given the age and condition of all the buildings replaced, complete remodeling should have cost millions less than new construction. These estimates all showed remodeling would cost millions more than new construction. There was no independent analysis of the design team’s conclusions. Pierce claims that value engineering was conducted on each project. This study is required by state law “at the appropriate time in the design process” on all large projects receiving state funding assistance for construction. It’s intended to provide an independent expert analysis of the work of the design team to “identify unnecessary high costs or functions.”

Men charged with attempted murder, burglary after cutting up victim By Raechel Dawson
rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Two Kirkland men were charged last Thursday for attempted murder and burglary after they allegedly cut, stabbed and hacked an 18-year-old man at his Kirkland home in October. Vincent Vinny Sisounong, 21, is being held on a $1 million bail and his alleged associate Blessing T. Gainey, 19, is being held on a $500,000 bail. Both are charged with one count of first-degree attempted murder and burglary in the first degree. Charging documents state the reason the men attacked a complete stranger was for “pleasure and greed.” Sisounong told detectives he wanted the victim to “fight for his life” and has had thoughts of harming others. When asked if the attack was enjoyable, Sisounong responded with “yeah,” court documents continue. On the morning of Oct. 12, Kirkland police were dispatched to the victim’s
home in the Evergreen Hill neighborhood (formerly known as Kingsgate). The victim, who police initially reported was 19 years old, was discovered at this neighbor’s house with several cuts, stabs and edged-blade-type gashes on his leg, shoulder, hands and head. The victim said the two men confronted him with edged weapons as he slept in his bed, according to probable cause documents. In a recorded statement, Sisounong told police that after breaking into the home, he found the victim and his sister sleeping in their beds on the third floor. “… He returned to Gainey on the second floor and stated that they wanted to kill them,” probable cause documents state. “Sisounong said that Gainey agreed to participate after debating the decision for ‘three to five minutes.’” After the suspects held a knife to his throat, the victim said he heard one

of them say he wanted to kill him, the documents continue. But Gainey allegedly proceeded to pace around the room and speak with the victim for about a half hour, trying to delay [Sisounong] from actually killing him. Sisounong told police that he “really wanted to do it.” The suspects took the 18-year-old to his basement and allegedly threatened to harm the other people in the house if he wasn’t quiet. Sisounong allegedly wrestled the victim to the floor and instructed Gainey to “cut his leg off.” Court documents state Gainey grabbed the man’s left ankle and proceeded to “use the larger knife multiple times in a chopping motion.” He continued to do the same to the victim’s left leg, causing large deep cuts down to the bone, the documents state. “After taking him from his bed to the basement, Sisounong admitted that he told Gainey to ‘start hacking his leg,’ with the intent to

immobilize him,” the documents state. The victim recalled Sisounong allegedly saying that they needed to kill him now because the victim had seen their faces. After the 18-year-old broke free, he was kicked in the head. But the struggle caused a car alarm to go off, causing Gainey to flee, according to the documents. Sisounong stayed behind to “keep him from screaming” and decided to “go at his throat.” Left alone with Sisounong, the victim was instructed to crawl to the other side of the basement. During this time he was assaulted with a large knife, which caused a “gaping cut” to his right shoulder. The victim was able to get free and lock himself in the basement bathroom. But Sisounong allegedly knocked the door open, breaking the door frame in the process. The victim sustained a a deep cut to his left hand in the process of trying to disarm his attacker. After punching the suspect in the face, the victim escaped as he heard a loud commotion upstairs and was losing a large amount of blood.
No injuries or property damage were reported after a contractor on King County’s Kirkland Pump Station project hit an unmarked gas line while installing an underground storm water line on Park Lane. The incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. First responders secured the area and Puget Sound Energy was called to shut off the gas and dispatch repair crews. King County will work with the utility to investigate the incident. King County began construction on the $20 million pump station project in 2011 to ensure safe, reliable wastewater operations for the city of Kirkland’s growing population. The new, larger capacity pump station will comply with current seismic codes, operate more quietly and efficiently, and employ state-of-the-art odor control. It is expected that the pump station will be completed and Park Lane will reopen in spring 2014. More information about King County’s Kirkland Pump Station project is available at www.kingcounty.gov/ environment/wtd/Construction/East/Kirkland.aspx.

The 18-year-old was then helped by neighbor Miles Calvert, who assisted in making a tourniquet out of bungee cords for his leg. As soon as police arrived, the victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center where he underwent surgery for his wounds. He was there for about five days. Kirkland police detectives arrested Gainey on past Kirkland warrants after he was located at a Burien library. Investigators were able to match Gainey’s left fingerprint at the scene of the crime that took place early Oct. 12. Gainey admitted his involvement in the crime and identified the other suspect, Sisounong. Police searched Sisounong’s home at the Kirkland Heights Apartments via a search warrant. There, they found bloodstained jeans, a hooded sweatshirt and work boots and two knives with blood stains on the blades as well. Several of the victim’s items - keys, electronics and money - were also located at the apartment. Police arrested Sisounong in Auburn shortly after. Sisounong has no known criminal history. Gainey was convicted of a minor in possession in 2010 and 2012 and two convictions of assault in the fourth degree in 2010. The two suspects will be arraigned on Nov. 12.

The people we all count on . . . count on a reliable power grid “In the event of a large-scale emergency or regional disaster, it is crucial that we have the ability to respond to a high volume of critically ill or injured patients. We must have power available to meet the immediate demands of our emergency, surgical, intensive care, and communication and records systems in order to provide quality medical care to the people of this community.” Dr. Tom Miller Emergency Physician and Chief of Staff Overlake Hospital Medical Center
DEMAND FOR POWER WILL EXCEED CAPACITY BY 2017 The Eastside is growing faster than any other region in Washington State. But there is a hidden consequence to this growth: Projections show that demand for reliable electricity will exceed system capacity as early as 2017. Without substantial infrastructure upgrades, our electric transmission lines will be unable to provide dependable power.
CONSERVATION ALONE ISN’T ENOUGH Over the past few decades, PSE has taken significant steps to squeeze every watt out of our electric system through our nationally recognized conservation programs. However, even doubling the Eastside conservation will not create the capacity we need to match economic growth. Conservation will always be a critical part of our energy future, but only a part.
UPGRADES TO KEEP PACE WITH EASTSIDE GROWTH At PSE, we are confident that with the right upgrades, our power grid can keep pace with the Eastside’s dramatic growth. Over the next several months, we will partner with local communities and talk with our customers to identify solutions that best serve the Eastside.

more than $84,000 awarded to five high schools, eight middle schools and 21 elementary schools. Each year, teachers submit more applications for innovative grant projects than the last. Increased donor support would allow more of these projects to become a reality. At $22,000, the Access Fund is also being funded at the highest level in foundation history, and at $7,000 over last year, due to additional funding from the AT&T Foundation’s Aspire grant. The Access Fund empowers low-income middle and high school students to fully engage in school by helping them pay for school-related supplies, fees and extracurricular activities. Redmond High School
counselor Ellen Zambrowsky-Huls administers her school’s Access Fund, nicknamed RHS Help. According to ZambrowskyHuls, “We want everyone to experience the stuff that makes high school, high school. Granting a $15 or $20 request to cover half an ASB card fee or a class fee can mean the difference between taking or not taking a class for some of our kids.” “RHS Help, and the other initiatives we have begun that form the array of services to students in need, is vitally important to our school,” Redmond High School Principal Jane Todd adds. “Not only because it creates equity of access, but also because it teaches our students that it is not a sin to be poor and that
