Two Juanita High football coaches placed on leave Investigation continues into alleged sexual assault committed by C-team players BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
T
wo Juanita High School coaches have been placed on paid administrative leave from the football
team in connection with a sexual assault by four freshman football players. The C-team players are accused of sexually assaulting a special-needs student on Oct. 22 in the school locker room
with a broom handle. All four players have been expelled from the school pending the result of the investigation. The students were arrested in connection with the incident but have yet to
be charged. A letter to Juanita High School parents was sent via email last week announcing that the coaches would be on leave pending the Lake Washington School District’s investi-
gation into the incident. “Juanita High School and Lake Washington School District are committed to the safety and security of every student,” the letter states. The letter also said that Craig Peterson would act as head coach of

Bartletts sell Kirkland’s Dog House After 12 years, the Bartletts are finally leaving the Dog House. First started out of a desire to offer natural food for pet owners in Kirkland, Chuck and Marti Bartlett have sold Dooley’s Dog House on Market Street. The new owner is expected to start running things Dec. 1. The deal was finalized Nov. 3. For Chuck Bartlett, it’s been a fulfilling and pleasant experience. “I’ve just really loved it,” he said. “Custom-

Ever since his son went missing three years ago, Solomon Metalwala has been on edge. The 39-year-old Kirkland resident doesn’t know what kind of information is coming around the corner. “Every call that I get with a number I don’t know, I hope that it’s some kind of clue leading to something,” Metalwala said on Monday morning about his son, Sky, who has been missing since Nov. 6, 2011. Sky was 2 years old at the time. [ more SKY page 12 ]
Council seeks other possible locations for proposed aquatic center BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
The Kirkland City Council has directed the parks board to search for additional locations for the Aquatic and Recreation Center (ARC), though they haven’t given up on the North Kirkland Community Center or Juanita Beach Park sites. The council passed the resolution at their Oct. 21 meeting, which autho-
rizes the parks board to continue looking for other locations for the ARC in the city, as well as have a design consultant continue making conceptional drawings and renderings of the ARC at Juanita Beach Park. As part of the search, they will also engage in community outreach, including a telephone survey to obtain resident feedback on the project, costs and
siting preferences, according to an Oct. 7 city memo. The parks board will present the council with a report in March next year. Right now, city staff is working with a real estate broker to locate suitable properties and find out if the owners would be willing to sell and at what
price, according to the city memo. All council members except Dave Asher voted in favor of the resolution, who felt the city should not continue looking into Juanita Beach Park as a possible site, and that the ARC needs to accommodate the space within a location the city
budget, not the other way around. “I think we’re at a situation where we’ve come to want a facility that’s not constrained at all,” he said “And we’ve built an idea of a facility that’s not constrained. Our budget or our properties don’t come that way.” Triplett said the drawings and renderings were included in the resolutions because the council
had previously requested that none of the proposed sites be removed from consideration for the time being. “The way we’re trying to set this up is to gather more information before we talk to the public,” he said. The parks board asked for the extension on possible sites for the ARC after Juanita residents [ more COUNCIL page 13 ]

the expanded need at the seven schools. Based on the success of this appeal, the goal is to continue to expand to all Kirkland elementary schools as soon as possible. Lynette Apley, PTSA service chair at John Muir Elementary School, is confident that Kirkland has the capacity to meet the growing need. Apley has worked with Kirkland Nourishing Network during the past two years and has coordinated the expansion to other Kirkland schools. “These are real families, living in our neighborhoods, who don’t have enough to eat,” Lynette said. “The food boxes make an absolute difference.” “Our community will fill this need if they know about it,” said Kirkland City Council member Toby Nixon, who is another volunteer with the Nourishing Network food-box project. Nixon has worked to get a location and volunteers to support the drop off of food boxes.

www.kirklandreporter.com ers would bring their cats and dogs in every day for a biscuit.” Chuck Bartlett opened Dooley’s Dog House in 2002 after buying out All the Best Pet Care and revamping it to include natural, raw pet food. An avid dog and cat owner, Chuck said he took an interest in unprocessed pet food when his cairn terrier, Beans, suffered from dwarfism, which affected his joints and made it impossible for him to run. He took Beans to the vet, who assured him the dog would not live long and should be put down. Instead, Chuck Bartlett started making his own food for Beans, as well as researching supplements and food. Beans lived to be 17 years old. During his search, he discovered many of the food manufacturers were out of the area and few local stores offered the products. A Vancouver, B.C. business sold the food, but he said he was not allowed to bring them across the border because they had not been approved by the FDA - he later was able to import them through customs when he opened up the store. At the time, Chuck Bartlett was working as a small business consultant, mainly for dentists, but his interest in pet food, as well as his wife’s support, led him to get into the business himself.
“My wife said I should follow my heart,” he said. “Marti really encouraged me to open the store. She saw I was burned out (as a consultant).” After he bought out All the Best Pet Care, he renamed it Dooley’s Dog House, after his wife’s dog, Dooley, whom Chuck described as their 24/7 companion. In addition to offering raw natural pet food, Chuck Bartlett said they also used the store to help people adopt hundreds of dogs and cats photos of the animals are dis-
played with their owners on the back wall of their store. Both Chuck and Marti are passionate about animal rescue and have raised funds for various organizations in the region such as Pasado’s Safe Haven. They’ve also hosted “Yappy Hours,” in which people bring their dogs and family to socialize over wine or beer. The proceeds go to various pet-oriented groups like Kirkland Dog Off-Leash Group. Last year, the Bartletts were presented with an “Angels for Animals” award
by the Community Cat Coalition. The plaque was presented during the store’s sixth annual Wine Tasting & Silent Auction Fundraiser held at The Grape Choice wine shop. This event raised $7,500 for Joplin’s Animal Rescue & Sanctuary and the Community Cat Coalition. They’ve also maintained a loyal customer base, whom Chuck Barlett said come in daily to buy biscuits for their dogs and cats. “I know my customers by their first names,” he said. “If
I don’t know theirs, I know their dog’s name.” Chuck Bartlett said they finally decided to sell the business in the summer out of a desire to travel and spend more time with their grandchildren. Also, after Dooley died, he said the mood of the store changed, as well as when the store cat, Phoebe, died at 23-years-old. “I was used to Dooley hoot and howl with joy when we first got to the store,” he said. “Without them it wasn’t the same, it wasn’t as much fun.”
He also said the store is in good hands and the new owner shares his passion for providing healthier pet food. “I really feel like we got a lot of dogs and cats healthier and into homes,” he said. The new owner, Randy Randolph, is a real estate agent and friend of the Bartletts. A former pet store owner, he says he intends to maintain many of the store traditions, including the holistic food and support for animal organizations.

November is National Family Caregivers Month As a Washington State Council on Aging member, I send this letter because November is National Family Caregivers Month. Each year, more of us are caring for a loved one with a chronic condition, disability or simply the frailties of old age. More than 850,000 Washington citizens are unpaid family caregivers, providing 80 percent of the services that allow family members to remain at home as long as possible. Recent state agency data reports the uncompensated caregiving is estimated to be valued at $10.6 billion. Caregiving is a very human concern and a financial one as well. These unpaid caregivers lose about $300,000 in salary & benefits in their lifetime having minimal financial resources to begin with. Washington State has a Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP) but it currently only serves less than 1 percent of the 850,000 family caregivers in our state. Recent research findings report some good news though: the FCSP improves outcomes for caregivers- eighty-four percent of the participants showed significant improvements and were slower to transition to more costly Medicaid services. Serving more family caregivers would be a great investment for our state. Our legislators and the governor should support expansion of FCSP. These caregivers need our support.

unemployment and harms the economy and overall economic pie. Many of the unemployed aptly say, “why talk about a minimum wage when I don’t even have a job.” After all, if $15 per hour was good, why not $20 per hour or $30 per hour? How about $45 per hour? My liberal friends say to me, “Jared, now you’re being absurd.” But if $45 per hour is absurd, isn’t $15 per hour just one third as absurd? We can’t legislate prosperity. The government can’t just allow us to add a “0” to the end of every dollar bill to increase our wealth ten-fold. The problem is a lack of skills and education, not lack of a wage. The minimum wage only pulls up the ladder on unskilled laborers forever dooming them to unemployment and government assistance. Americans need to become schooled in economics so that superstitious ideas like the minimum wage don’t get any attention.

The minimum wage hurts the economy
Mr. Hirsch, do you really believe “most of us” earn the minimum wage? I know you don’t, so the only relevant questions are: 1. Who DOES earn the minimum wage? 2. What do they do in exchange for that pay? 3. Do they aspire to acquire the skills to earn more? 4. Will they retire after 50 years of work having earned only at the minimum wage? Spoiler alert: Answers here - A1 Entrylevel workers and high schoolers; those who deign to work at all. A2 Menial, low-skilled jobs for which no education beyond high school (if that) is required. A3 I hope so. Even the smallest spark of ambition spurs individuals to become qualified for a higherskilled and higher-paying job. This is as it has always been. A4 I hope not. If true, this would be a sad commentary on the state of the Work Ethic in America.

Review of Path America’s Potala Village is delayed Path America and Dargey Development submitted their design options for review nearly a month ago. Citizens were feverishly preparing to give the Design Review Board extensive feedback on each of the Potala Village proposals. So why the sudden delay by the developer and why is there no reschedule date? Potala Village EIS version proposed: Citizens believe that one of the proposed options went through the EIS process.

Avenue Northeast in Totem Lake all the way south to 108th Avenue Northeast in Bellevue. Kirkland’s Interim Trail Contractor, Rodarte Construction, Inc., has heavy equipment on the corridor at intersections where pedestrian road crossing improvements are being made and along the corridor where fencing is being installed for safety and protection of sensitive areas. The city appreciates that the corridor is a popular place to run, walk and ride a bicycle but asks that users please refrain from using the closed portions of the corridor so that the
contractor can make the improvements as efficiently as possible. The construction schedule shows southern portions of the CKC Interim Trail being completed in December 2014 and final improvements being made to the northern sections in January 2015. While the city and the contractor have been working diligently to complete the project, delays in procuring some critical items have led the city to allow the contractor to extend their work-zone resulting in a larger area of the corridor being subjected to construction closure. This
was not in character with the surrounding neighborhood. Potala Village option No. 3 proposed: Another option proposed for design review actually seemed to provide more generous courtyard and setback from the street. Upon first glance, this seemed to be one of the first moves in the right direction. But then the discovery that the building had grown taller. The added height seems sure to increase the impact of the oversized building. Additionally, the extra feet do not appear to be consistent with the zoning code or within the laws of our city. You may recall the extensive work done by the City Planning Commission and the City Council to revamp the rules that regulate all Neighborhood Business Zones. Their work impacts several neighborhoods (BN
- Moss Bay, BN1 - Rose Hill, MSC2 - Market Street and BNA – newly annexed area). During work sessions, planning commission meetings and City Council approval, it was suggested that if ground floor commercial were to have a 13-foot height there could be difficulty getting three stories and a builder would likely only be able to build two. The three additional feet were to be allowed, when necessary to provide the more desirable 13-foot ground floor without loss of the third story. This provision is obviously not necessary in the Potala Village proposal that appears to have a 19-foot ground floor. It appears also to be four stories and not three. Neighbors were quick to notice claims that the two levels of parking would be above grade and that two levels of residences would be above that. So what could be going

Weather can impact the actual days the contractor can work and, depending on the weather, once all safety improvements are made some sections of the CKC will be opened before the end of the year. The Interim Trail, which extends 5.75 miles from 108th Avenue Northeast to 132nd Avenue Northeast, will feature all-weather new crushed gravel surface within the existing rail bed.

Hope Solo trial pushed back to January BY TJ MARTINELL
tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
T
he trial for Kirkland resident and U.S. Soccer player Hope Solo, accused of fourthdegree assault, has been pushed back to Jan. 20, 2015, with a motion hearing set for Jan. 6. Solo’s trial was originally supposed to begin this month but was extended during an appearance at the Kirkland Municipal Court. Solo was arrested in June after a family argument turned violent at her half-sister’s Kirkland home. Kirkland police responded to a call of a disturbance at the home around 1 a.m. “The male caller stated that a female at the residence was ‘hitting people’ and they could not get her to stop or to leave the house,” Kirkland Police Lt. Mike Murray said in a release. Murray added that upon the officers’ arrival at the home they could immediately hear the sounds of the disturbance from outside the residence. When officers entered the home they noticed Solo, 32, was upset and intoxicated. They also
observed visible injuries to Solo’s 17-year-old nephew and her sister. Solo’s nephew had visible scratch marks, was bleeding from his ear and his t-shirt was torn, according to court documents. Solo was upset, according to the report, because “her husband refused to take her to catch a flight because he was being a jerk.” The teen told police that Solo appeared intoxicated when she arrived at her half-sister’s home and the two women continued to drink. An argument between the teen and Solo ensued when she told the boy that he was “too fat and overweight and crazy to ever be an athlete.” The argument became physical, according to court documents. The boy broke a broomstick over Solo’s head. When Solo’s sister attempted to break up the fight, Solo allegedly punched her in the face, the documents continue. The teen allegedly pointed a BB gun at Solo in an attempt to get her to leave. The boy told police Solo “kept circling like a shark.”
HOPE SOLO
“After receiving statements from the persons involved, officers determined that Solo was the primary aggressor and had instigated the assault,” Murray said. Solo was arrested on two counts of domestic violence and booked into the south King County detention facility. She later pleaded not guilty at first court appearance. Solo eventually posted an apology on her Facebook page to fans. “I would like to apologize to my fans, teammates, coaches, marketing partners and the entire US Soccer and Seattle Reign FC communities for my involvement in a highly unfortunate incident this past
weekend,” Solo said in the statement. “I understand that, as a public figure, I am held to a higher standard of conduct. I take seriously my responsibilities as a role model and sincerely apologize to everyone I have disappointed.” The former University of Washington soccer star is married to former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens and her legal name is Hope Stevens. Kirkland police were called to Solo’s home in November 2012. The police report for that incident stated that an altercation between eight different people took place at the home during a house party and a stun gun was used. The call resulted in domestic violence charges against Stevens. Those charges were eventually dropped by a Kirkland Municipal Court Judge. Solo was the goalkeeper for last two U.S. Olympic women’s soccer teams and played for the University of Washington. She also plays for the Seattle Reign of the National Women’s Soccer League and was forced to miss its game in New York in June following the incident.

ALERT
Police Blotter The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers.

Deciding between prepaying your mortgage and investing your extra cash isn’t easy, because each option has advantages and disadvantages. But you can start by weighing what you’ll gain financially by choosing one option against what you’ll give up. In economic terms, this is known as evaluating the opportunity cost. Here’s an example. Let’s assume that you have a $300,000 balance and 20 years remaining on your 30-year mortgage, and you’re
looking at the after-tax rate of return you can expect from prepaying your mortgage. This is generally less than the interest rate you’re paying on your mortgage, once you take into account any tax deduction you receive for mortgage interest. Once you’ve calculated that figure, compare it to the after-tax return you could receive by investing your extra cash. For example, the after-tax cost of a 6.25 percent mortgage would be approximately 4.5 percent if you were in the 28 percent tax bracket and were able to deduct mortgage interest on your federal income tax return (the after-tax cost might be even lower if you were also able to deduct [ more WEALTH page 9 ]

paying 6.25 percent interest. If you were to put an extra $400 toward your mortgage each month, you would save approximately $62,000 in interest, and pay off your loan almost six years early. By making extra payments and saving all of that interest, you’ll clearly be gaining a lot of financial ground. But before you opt to prepay your mortgage, you still have to consider what you might be giving up by doing so - the opportunity to potentially profit even more from investing. To determine if you would come out ahead if you invested your extra cash, start by

Other points to consider While evaluating the opportunity cost is important, you’ll also need to weigh many other factors. The following list of questions
may help you decide which option is best for you. • What’s your mortgage interest rate? The lower the rate on your mortgage, the greater the potential to receive a better return through investing. • Does your mortgage have a prepayment penalty? Most mortgages don’t, but check before making extra payments. • How long do you plan to stay in your home? The main benefit of prepaying your mortgage is the amount of interest you save over the long term; if you plan to move soon, there’s less value in putting more money toward your mortgage. • Will you have the discipline to invest your extra cash

rather than spend it? If not, you might be better off making extra mortgage payments.

Keep in mind that the rate of return you’ll receive is directly related to the investments you choose. Investments with the potential for higher returns may expose you to more risk, so take this into account when making your decision.

“Every time, I just imagine where he will be, knowing that he was so young when this happened,” Metalwala continued. “I still believe he’s alive because there’s no proof that he’s not alive. That’s enough proof for me to keep on believing that he’s out there some-place.” Metalwala’s ex-wife Julia Biryukova of Redmond told police her son went missing after her car ran out of gas near the 2400 block of 112th Ave. NE in Bellevue. She told police she left Sky in the car sleeping, bundled in a blanket and walked to a nearby gas station with her 4-year-old daughter. When she returned about an hour later, she said Sky was gone. In November 2011, investigators searched numerous locations, including Marymoor Park near Redmond because of its proximity to the downtown Redmond apartment where the boy lived with his sister

Their divorce was finalized in January 2012, with Metalwala receiving custody of their daughter. Biryukova was interviewed by police, but allegedly became uncooperative and stopped speaking with law enforcement. Metalwala hasn’t seen or spoken to Biryukova for three years. “Someone told me she’s still in Redmond,” he said. The Reporter couldn’t locate Birykova to comment on Sky’s disappearance. The Bellevue Police Department (BPD) reported at this same time last year it had exhausted all leads in its search for Sky. Metalwala said police are still investigating the case, but he doesn’t meet with detectives as he frequently did in 2011-2012. If information email, go to www.kirklandwa.gov/biznews.

with Metalwala, said she provides support for her friend at events (she met Metalwala at an event in 2011). In October, they spent time at Walmarts in Longview and Chehalis and at the Tumwater Fred Meyer and Costco. They plan on holding events at Eastside stores soon, possibly for Missing Children’s Days in May. “I know it is really difficult for him because he has to relive everything all over again,” said Irish, whose daughter was nearly abducted in 2009. Irish said she often gives Metalwala a break from speaking to others when he’s feeling overwhelmed. Metalwala said his daughter is like a “life bucket that’s always overflowing with water.” She provides hope and “she’s really wonderful to have in my life,” he added. Sky is on their minds every day and they talk about him at events they attend or on bike rides. “We say, ‘How cool
would this be if Sky was here?’” said Metalwala, who misses Sky’s hugs, laughter and the happiness he brought them. “Sky, yes, he’s physically not with us, but mentally he always is.” Metalwala said he trusts in Jesus to give him security and has helped get him through the last three years. He offers the following advice to parents: “Try to slow down your life and try to have those precious moments with your kids as much as you can because — poof — your life can be upside down.” When Irish visits with Metalwala, she can tell he’s optimistic that Sky will be found. “It’s a matter of when,” she said.

Students are given an emergency expulsion if the district believes they impose a danger to other students or faculty members, according to Lake Washington School District spokesperson Kathryn Reith. They can later be allowed back to school if they are no longer determined to be a danger. The case is still under investigation by police department detectives. “Over the past decade, the Totem Lake Neighborhood has experienced one of the highest rates of traffic growth in the city,” the plan says. “Road improvements have not kept pace with this growth, contributing to significant peak hour traffic congestion.” Car-commuters benefit, but so do people riding bicycles and walking. The road features a pair of five-foot bike lanes and sidewalks that reach up to 12 feet in width. Aside from the signal improvements, construction crews have spent much of the recent weeks building and defining these features. Last week, they striped bike lanes—and travel lanes—as well as mounted the handrails to the retaining walls. A few weeks ago, they completed the sidewalks. After the opening ceremony on Nov. 19, Northeast 120th Street will be fully open and ready for the public.

Council commits to supporting climate change initiatives BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter
The Kirkland City Council is taking the next step towards promoting environment policies on a regional level they have promoted locally for several years. The council voted to au-
thorize Mayor Amy Walen signing a letter pledging its commitment, with other cities in King County, to support efforts to reduce green-house gas emissions. The King County-Cities Climate Collaboration Joint Letter of Commitment calls for cities to focus on “practical, near-
term, collaborative opportunities” with King County to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which the coalition believes is causing a rise in temperatures. The targets are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020, 50 percent by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050, using 2007 as a baseline, the same targets the King County Growth CITY Management Council voted in favor of. The city committed to similar greenhouse gas emission reduction goals in 2008 after receiving recommendations by the staff, with reductions of 20 percent from 2005 levels by 2020. Much of what is intended regionally it has already done in Kirkland, according to Director of Human Resources James Lopez, who is also the director of
the Performance Management Green Team Staff. “A lot of what’s in the letter, the city has already been doing a good part of it,” he said. “I think it’s very much about how are we going to regionally make some of these things happen.” Among Kirkland’s projects is its Green Building Program, in which homes built using the Built Green Certification are 20 percent more energy-efficient than the energy standards mandated under the Washington State Energy Code. Kirkland has also pushed for recycling, having been the number one city in King County for single family residential recycling, at 67.95 percent, for six of the last seven years. The combined 2013 recycling rate was 44.6 percent. Another environmental effort on the part of the city has been the Totem Lake Green Trip (TGT) program, a personal travel management site that encourages commuters to use alternative means of transportation such as buses,

The council voted 6-1 authorizing the most recent resolution, with Toby Nixon the lone dissenting council member. During the council discussion, Nixon said he opposed the letter, claiming it designated CO2 as a pollutant. He also objected to the letter calling climate change the “paramount challenge of our generation.” “Climate change has always occurred and always will,” he said. “We should not make major decisions that have the potential to impact negatively on quality of life based on inconsistent data.” The city was a founder of the KCCC Pledge, which was signed in 2011 by Mayor Joan McBride with the intention of reducing “global and local sources of climate pollution.” The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNSA) recently published a report that examined temperatures in the Northeast Pacific coastal region from 1990-2012. The report concluded that the rise in temperature in the area was due to natural causes and not humans.
to prevent flooding and flood damage: CLEAR LEAVES FROM STORM DRAINS Do not rake or blow leaves into the street. Place leaves in yard waste bin or compost. Before, during and after a storm, check storm drains near your home or business and make sure they are free of debris. Use a rake to remove debris from storm drain and gutter. Place this material in a yard, trash or recycling bin. Do not remove grate from storm drain. This does not unclog the drain and creates hazardous conditions. Call Public Works Maintenance at 425-5873900 if flooding is severe and you are unable to clear the storm drain. SANDBAGS Kirkland residents and businesses that have previously had or almost had flooding are encouraged to have a supply of
sandbags on-hand as a preparedness measure. Two self-service sandbag filling stations are available Oct. 1 through May 31, 2015 and are accessible daily, 24 hours. Sand and bags are provided at no cost to Kirkland citizens and businesses; however, citizens must bring their own shovels. Kirkland’s sandbag filling stations are located at: Public Works Maintenance Center, 915 8th Street, parking lot Juanita Beach Park, 9703 NE Juanita Drive, parking lot south of Juanita Drive.

carpools and vanpools. The program aims to reduce 680 annual trips by the end of 2015 within the Totem Lake Urban Center. The city first got involved in the issue of climate change in 2005, when it signed the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Change Protection Agreement, committing to reversing climate change - which at the time they referred to as global warming - by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In 2009, the council adopted the Climate Change Protection Action Plan proposed by staff. Among the city’s goals is to reduce the number of single-occupied vehicles on the road, as well as the miles traveled. Right now, the drive-alone rate is 75.7 percent, with 67.9 percent desired. Additionally, the city also committed to considering supporting policies in the Comprehensive Plan for a future Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program, which allows property owners in designated rural areas to transfer their development rights to properties designated as urban.

Kirkland’s drainage system has been designed to hold and carry water during storms to prevent flooding. However, heavy storms may exceed the system’s capacity and some flooding may occur. There are over 15,000 storm drains in Kirkland. Leaves and debris can block rain water from flowing into storm drains and often cause localized flooding. Flooding can cause safety concerns and property damage. Kirkland residents and businesses are encouraged to take measures

2015 luncheon, scheduled for April 29, at which it will celebrate ten years of investing in students and schools. There are opportunities for businesses and organizations to sponsor the event. During the past ten years, the foundation has funded a variety of school needs. It has helped children attend summer school, supported the LINKS mentoring and tutoring program, and awarded Reaching for Success classroom grants. It has recently invested in a support program for new teachers and a high school anti-bullying program. Based on school district and community interest, the foundation has made science a special focus. This investment started in 2007 with funding for middle and high school laboratory equipment. Most recently, the Foundation helped launch the district’s new STEM-based Signature Programs in all high schools with grants totaling $320,000. In addition to support from the community, other major donors include Microsoft, Waste Management, Sodexo, the Discuren Charitable and Wockner Foundations, local governments and PTSAs. For a complete list of sponsors, please visit our website at www.lwsf.org/investors. The foundation is currently reminding the community that it has a stake in the success of its schools with the theme of its fall fundraising campaign, “Our Kids, Our Future—It’s Up to Us!” Help the Foundation reach its fall campaign goal of $25,000 by making a donation today at www.lwsf. org/donate.

endured and is fulfilling its founders’ original goal of equalizing the economic disparity within our district,” Blier said. “While there are schools that can raise many thousands of dollars for their students, there are others that can barely raise a fraction of that. “The Foundation is building a stronger community by helping all children succeed.” Tracy Hoien played a key role in the Foundation’s success, serving as a founding trustee, board president and eventually executive director. Launching the foundation took some cash. The Foundation’s first fundraising initiative, the Founder’s Circle, provided critical funding to launch the organization into its second and third years. About 105 individuals and organizations donated at least $1,000 to this cause, raising over $120,000. For a complete list of Founders Circle members please visit www.lwsf.org/founders.

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.
