With the holiday season here and winter fast approaching, one of the things people can do to beat the cold is put on a thick winter coat. But not everyone can get a hold of one in a time of need. To address this issue, the Redmond Firefighters Benevolent Fund and International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 2829 — the union for the Redmond Fire Department (RFD) — teamed up to provide coats for students at Albert Einstein Elementary School in Redmond. Using money from the benevolent fund — which benefits people in the local community, especially
those facing personal tragedy — the firefighters purchased enough coats to keep more than 60 Einstein students warm. In addition, principal Karen Belshaw said extra coats were even purchased for some of the students’ older and younger siblings who are not at Einstein. “I have not seen a coat drive like this,” she said about the scale of it. Belshaw said in addition to the drive, the school receives support from both the RFD and Redmond Police Department as a number of firefighters and officers will visit the school as lunch buddies and sit and eat with the students. “We have a fabulous relationship with them,” she said.
DONATING MORE THAN JUST COATS
The drive was part of Operation Warm, a nonprofit whose mission is to provide warm winter clothing for children who need it. According to the organization’s website, “families struggling to survive prioritize food, heat, and rent above winter clothing resulting in frequent absenteeism from school.” The website continues, stating that this leads to forgone learning and missed opportunities for socialization, play and balanced nutrition provided through the Federal Free and Reduced Meal Program. Dawn DeLoach, secretary of the benevolent fund, said they ended up participating in Operation Warm after firefighter Mike Navarro learned [ more COATS page 3 ]
Since a group of homeowners from Trilogy on Redmond Ridge filed a mass-action lawsuit against Shea Homes, Inc., the California-based homebuilder has been working with some of the homeowners to address their repair issues. According to a press release issued by Shea, more than 700 of the 1,500 homes in the community have responded to the homebuilder’s offer to have their homes inspected and fixed — or receive a cash settlement for construction issues.

Lehtinen is scheduled for case setting on Dec. 3 STAFF REPORT
Eric Emil Lehtinen, a Redmond man who is accused of injecting his son with heroin, had his Nov. 17 case-setting hearing continued to Dec. 3. King County Superior Court documents include a letter from Lehtinen to the judge stating that he feels his attorney “has failed to handle this case in a professional and effective manner” as required by
some of those issues include water intrusion and rot damage caused by a lack of exterior waterproofing components. “We are pleased by the positive response we have gotten from homeowners at Redmond Ridge who love their homes and community and want us to address issues, rather than join a lawsuit by plaintiffs,” said Robb Pigg, vice president of operations for Shea. The press release goes on to state that the company has already completed more than 400 home inspections and made offers or repairs to many of the inspected homes.

He asks that his case be transferred from the Society of Counsel Representing Accused Persons (SCRAP) to the Public Defender Association. Lehtinen pleaded not guilty to the charge of firstdegree attempted murder at his arraignment on Oct. 10, 2013 at the King County Courthouse. Lehtinen’s son, who was 4 at the time of the Sept. 24, 2013 incident, was released from Seattle Children’s Hospital in October 2013. The man remains in the King County Jail in Seattle with bail set at $3 million. If convicted, he could face at least 15 years in prison.

Gotta Dance’s Giving from the Heart event set for Dec. 6 Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com
Gotta Dance in Redmond will open its door to the community on Dec. 6. But rather than having
people come together to dance, the studio will be welcoming people inside for community service projects to give back to those less fortunate. This will be the 15th year for the Giving from

amazing.” Leyde said they always donate to Hope Place, a shelter in Seattle associated with the Seattle Union Gospel Mission. The shelter also offers a 12-18-month rehabilitation/treatment program with services including occupational therapy, family and parental counseling and life-skills training. Leyde said she chose Hope Place and has always chosen them because she knows they will use every part of the donations they receive. In addition, she said they usually choose another cause to donate to. This year’s cause is supporting those in central Washington who were affected by the wildfires during the summer. “We try pick something unique each year,” Leyde said. At the Giving from the Heart events, she said they usually start out by sorting donations into categories such as clothes, toys, blankets and more. Things are then boxed accordingly. Attendees also work to put together stockings for Hope Place. Stocking items include school supplies, toys, flashlights, small first-aid kits and more. Kids from the Gotta Dance community and beyond usually put together these stockings and Leyde said it gets them thinking about
what the recipients would be excited to receive. Attendees also make fleece blankets and scarves for the homeless, which are distributed to the various Tent Cities in the area. Leyde also takes the time each year to give a talk. “I help them understand there is a huge community in need,” she said, adding that her favorite part of these events is when kids have the revelation that there are those in the community who are not as fortunate as them and then realize how good it can feel to give back. Those attending the Giving from the Heart event, which is open to the entire community, can also give monetary donations to benefit each of these causes as well as the organization’s Hayley Jenson Scholarship. The latter provides dance scholarships for students who might not be able to afford lessons otherwise. Leyde said the scholarship was named in honor of one of her daughters’ friends who was a dance teacher and died at 18. She added that the organization also holds dance events throughout the year to raise money for the scholarship fund. Gotta Dance is located at 17945 N.E. 65th St., Suite 100 in Redmond.

one of her daughters’ classes at Margaret Mead Elementary School as an art-start mom. She said when the kids discussed the holidays in terms of what they meant to them, many kids discussed what gifts they hoped to receive and other thoughts along those lines. Sometimes, Leyde said, when kids are raised in more affluent communities, they don’t always think about others who may not have as much as them. Leyde said she started Giving from the Heart for her four daughters to teach them the importance of giving and supporting those less fortunate. “Truthfully, that’s what the holidays should be about,” she said. Although it began as a small service project in Leyde’s garage, Giving from the Heart has grown over the last decade and a half and is now its own nonprofit organization and all four of Leyde’s daughters sit on its board. Through the organization’s annual holiday event, Leyde said they have worked to collect 200-300 boxes of donated items each year. These items range from toys to clothes to gift cards. “It’s huge,” she said. “It’s overwhelming that it started in our garage. It’s

said there was some hesitation among students who didn’t realize they were only being fitted for size and the coats they were trying on weren’t going to be theirs to keep at that moment. That hesitation came from the students not liking the color of the sizing coats, Belshaw said with a laugh. Because the students weren’t able to take the coats home during the sizing session, some had not realized that they would be able to take their coats home on Friday. “I wish we could take them home today,” one student said after he tried on the coat of his choice. When he was told they would be able to take their coats home that afternoon, he became excited: “Oh yay!”
about the organization and thought it was something they could do to benefit the community. She said they spent about $3,500 from the benevolent fund to purchase the coats, which were distributed last Friday. About 20 firefighters from RFD — most of whom had volunteered their time on their day off — went to Einstein that morning to help the students pick up their coats. “They put in their time,” said Redmond Fire Chief Tommy Smith. He said this was the first time they had participated in Operation Warm, but RFD employees have given back to the community in other ways such as donating turkeys to the homeless and holding pancake breakfasts to raise money for the benevolent fund. “This is awesome,” Smith said about the coat drive.

EXCITED FOR WINTER
DeLoach agreed, saying the best part of the event was seeing how happy the kids were. “It was great because you get to see them smiling,” DeLoach said about distributing the coats. And there were a lot of smiles in the Einstein commons as the youngsters filed in to pick out their coats. “It was kind of cool,” said thirdgrader Anthony Anaziz. The 8-year-old said he is excited about receiving his coat and wearing it in the cold weather. Anthony said he considered a green coat, but ended up going for gray and orange

While some students like Anthony entered the room and knew, more or less, which color coat they wanted, others deliberated on their color choices.

to offer their opinions. A few — including Chief Smith — could be overheard telling students to pick a certain colored coat based on their favorite sports teams. And not everyone was a Seahawks fan, so there was also some good-natured ribbing among the firefighters and students alike.
The students had been fitted for the coats earlier in October so the firefighters would know how many of each size to order. “It was awesome when they came to fit the coats,” Belshaw said about how excited everyone was during the process. Despite that excitement, she
Belshaw said Operation Warm is just one event they have at Einstein to support families in need. Another event they held this year was Operation School Bell, which gave students an opportunity to go on a back-to-school shopping spree before the school year began. Belshaw said they worked to pick students and families for Operation Warm who did not participate in the earlier event, that way more could benefit. Together the two events have supported about 225 families, Belshaw told the Reporter. In addition, Einstein has a Pantry Packs program that provides students with food over the weekend, bringing the total to about 275 families supported by various services.

Schools foundation celebrates 10 years, $2 million invested in students COURTESY OF THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOLS FOUNDATION
With more than 26,000 students and numerous honors and awards, the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is one of the largest and most successful school districts in Washington. Part of this success is due to financial support from the community through Lake Washington Schools Foundation. Since 2005, the foundation has awarded the district nearly $2 million to support district-wide initiatives and provide classroom tools to help all students succeed. Foundation Board President Minerva Butler, along with the foundation’s board of trustees thanks the community for their donations and involvement in their schools. The foundation’s board of trustees includes President Minerva Butler, Vice President Sarah Stone, Treasurer David Bies, Secretary Valerie Horvath, Glen Campbell, Dan Davidson, Jay Goldstein, Peg Hunt, Matt Isenhower, Shelley Kloba, Nicole MacKenzie and Kathleen Reynolds. Ex-official members include District Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce and Colette Ulloa. Almost 10 years ago, in March 2005, former LWSD Superintendent Dr. Don Saul brought together a small group of community members who believed in the importance of public education. This group envisioned a partnership between parents, businesses, community members and the school district. Their goal was to raise money to help all students succeed. Dr. Saul was inspired to organize a foundation after noticing the value that schools foundations were providing to neighboring school districts. Schools foundations play an important role in raising awareness of districts’ needs and provide a way for the community to engage with and provide extra funding to its schools. “Lake Washington Schools Foundation is a key partner for the school district,” Pierce said. “They help us to build pathways for student success by funding programs that would not be possible without their sup-

Courtesy photo port.” The founding members became the foundation’s first board of trustees, many of whom are still active as either advisory council or board members. Last spring, founding member Terri Blier was honored with the foundation’s first Education Champion’s award for her dedication to Lake Washington students. Blier stepped down in June after serving on the board for more than nine years, first as a member and then for two years as board president.
“I’m proud that despite challenges over the years, the foundation has 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. “The foundation provides the vehicle for community members to work collaboratively to raise money and provide programs that enrich our students’ education, beyond the state’s funding of basic education,” Hoien said. “It’s for the kids.” 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 more than $120,000. For a complete list of Founders Circle members, visit www.lwsf.org/founders. The foundation’s annual Legacy for Learning fundraising luncheon is currently its central fundraising campaign. Held for many years at Juanita High School, the event regularly raises well over $200,000. The foundation invites the community to attend its 2015 luncheon, scheduled for April [ more SCHOOLS page 5 ]

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 and 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 — 84 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.

Help Bring 300,000 Meals to Hungry Western Washington Families this Holiday More than half a million people in the Western Washington region go hungry every year. For more than a decade, QFC and you—our customers—have worked hard to reduce that number. Since 2001, our Bringing Hope to the Table campaign has put more than 4 million meals on the tables of hungry families in the Northwest. This year, our goal is to provide a meal for 300,000 hungry people in our community. From now through December 28, Food Lifeline and QFC are teaming up to give the community more opportunities to stock food bank shelves. Here’s how you can help at your local QFC store: • Purchase a $10 pre-made bag filled with nutritious, protein-packed, food-bank approved products at any QFC location. Bag contents include peanut butter, steel-cut oats and more. • Make a $1 or $5 cash donation when you check out. • Drop your change in the coin boxes located at the register. • Look for special tags throughout the store marking food-bank recommended items. Purchase one or more and drop them in designated bins at the front of every store. • Purchase participating Kendall Jackson wines. For every bottle sold, Kendall Jackson will donate 50 cents to Bringing Hope to the Table campaign. • Purchase any Full Sail product. The Hood River brewery will donate $1 for every 12 bottles sold to the Bringing Hope to the Table campaign. • Purchase participating Bailey’s product. For every case sold, Bailey’s will donate $6 to the Bringing Hope to the Table campaign. Join us in reaching our goal of delivering 300,000 meals to hungry area families this year. For more details, visit www.qfc.com/community. Thanks for all you do to help the fight against hunger during the holiday season and beyond. Paid Adver tisement

“Although Shea professes to be working with over 600 homeowners, that is impossible because we represent nearly 1,000 of the 1,500 homes there, and we have seen practically 100 rejected Shea offers from our clients,” said Dave von Beck of Levy– von Beck & Associates, one of the Seattle-based law firms representing the plaintiffs. Tom Loeser of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, the second law firm in Seattle representing the homeowners, said they filed an amended massaction suit on Monday representing 964 homes. There are 1,521 homes total at Trilogy. As a result, Loeser said at the most, Shea would be working with 556 homes in the community. The Shea press release states that the company expected the filing on Monday, but continues to state that it is making tremendous progress in addressing homeowner issues and believes the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ allegations and demands are “misleading, intentionally inflammatory and unnecessary.” “We are actively addressing homeowner issues,” said Pigg. “(On
Monday) the attorneys’ filing is unfair to Redmond Ridge residents because we believe that it makes misleading accusations intended to scare homeowners, not help them…As soon as Shea addresses issues, the plaintiffs’ attorneys raise new ones to sue over. We are proud of our homes at Redmond Ridge and will address any real issues because we want happy homeowners.” He said they are encouraging homeowners to speak with others in the community who have decided on the repair and settlement path “over litigation that may take years to settle and may not be successful.” “We believe the best road to resolving issues is one-on-one meetings with homeowners at their home where we can answer their questions and respond to their concerns,” Pigg said, adding, “Shea would rather have homeowners satisfied and pleased with our repair/ settlement program than forced to participate in a lawsuit that could drag on for years —and possibly result in no repairs to their home and no settlement.” Shea said residents who would like to have their
homes evaluated for issues can contact the company directly by calling (866) 535-9959 or emailing cus tomerservice@trilogylife. com. While Shea has been offering to address the homeowners’ issues, Loeser said the offers they have seen from the company have not been adequate to cover the damages. In addition, he said Shea is aware of many problems homeowners are and could be facing. However, the homeowners may not be aware as some of the issues may not have cropped up yet. Loeser said these unknown matters would not be added to the homeowners’ total settlements, so they would not be covered in the future.
City recruiting new members for Arts and Culture Commission
“(Homeowners) may be losing the ability to get their full damages (covered),” he said. Pigg assured that the amount homeowners would be receiving would be sufficient. “We are not at liberty to provide the figures, but we are addressing all of their issues by either repairing the items at issue or providing an agreed upon cash payment, at the owner’s choice,” he said. In addition to inadequate settlements, both Loeser and von Beck said Shea is not giving homeowners enough time to make their decisions — only a few days. “Shea is pressuring these homeowners to quickly accept their offers,” von Beck said.
The City of Redmond is recruiting three new volunteer members of the Arts and Culture Commission to begin their service in April 2015. Redmond residents, unincorporated King County residents or people who work in Redmond are eligible to apply. Candidates are encouraged to apply by Jan. 6, 2015. For more than 25 years, the Arts and Culture Commission has advised the mayor and City Council on
arts and cultural affairs in the city. Past accomplishments include: inaugurating the city’s Public Art Program, providing music and theater experiences for the community and seeding local festivals in the city including the Ananda Mela Indian Cultural Festival and the Digital Arts Festival.

Mahendran scores Symetra Hero in the Classroom honor Redmond Middle School teacher gains high praise from former student ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
Rathan Mahendran is a major Seattle Seahawks fan, so it’s only fitting that he ended up on the CenturyLink Field prior to last Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Like Seahawks players, the Redmond Middle School (RMS) sixth-grade math and science teacher, earned his spot on the gridiron by being a standout coach, mentor and role model for his students. Thanks to a nomination from former student Christine Ito, Mahendran scored a Symetra Hero in the Classroom award at a Nov. 18 surprise school assembly, which featured an appearance by Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril. He won $1,000 for RMS, a customized Seahawks jersey, tickets for the game and a trip onto the field. “It was a tremendous thrill

to be on the field to watch warmups, meet players and even try on a Seahawks Super Bowl championship ring,” said Mahendran, who is a season-ticket holder. “I’m lucky to work with a lot of amazing teachers, many of whom I have looked to for ideas and have helped me become the teacher I am today, so it was a complete surprise to receive this honor.” Mahendran is in his third teaching at RMS and he previously taught fifth- and sixth-graders for nine years at Norman Rockwell Elementary. Along with his classroom duties, he currently coaches cross country, basketball and track. His teaching game plan is to engage students with his lessons and make learning fun for them. “My goal is to have students see the value of science and math concepts and how they are useful in their life, and not just as something they have to learn at school,” he said. “I want to continue to inspire students to do their best.” On the playing field, Ito — a 22-year-old graduate

student in the University of Washington’s Master’s in Teaching program — said Mahendran gets students excited about sports. “He is competitive and pushes the students, but always makes light of the situation and knows when to balance the winning mentality with having a positive attitude and trying your best — no matter what,” Ito said. “Mr. Mahendran’s involvement in extracurriculars at school gives him the opportunity to make long-lasting connections with students in every grade.” Mahendran’s creativity, dedication and love for teaching resonated with Ito, and she aspires to have the same impact on students when she becomes a teacher. The Hero in the Classroom remains a mentor to Ito and he invited her to tutor one of his math students about five years ago. Ito still tutors the student, who is now a junior in high school. “His continuous support and opportunities have pushed me to try new things and reach my highest potential,” Ito said.

Jujubeet makes a fresh start at Redmond Town Center ASHLEY WALLS UW News Lab
When most of us wake up in the morning, the first thing we reach for is a cup of quickbrewed hot coffee. Running between work, home and afterschool activities, it seems like we can’t get through the day without on-the-go meals and several more cups of coffee. Bianca Szyperski, a busy mother of four, realized that she desperately needed to change this routine. “I was always driving around and ended up at a coffee shop. I’d go in and inevitably also come out with a pastry. I was really struggling to find healthy foods,” she said. Szyperski and co-founder Mala Raman hoped to solve this everyday battle, and in 2013 opened Jujubeet’s flagship store in Bellevue. A juice bar,
Jujubeet offers healthy choices for an on-the-go clientele. “We wanted to open a store that no matter what you chose, it was going to be good for you — not processed,” Szyperski said. Jujubeet expanded across Lake Washington to open near University Village a year later. But many of the clientele that they were serving lived on the Eastside, and Szyperski and Raman wanted to bring their menu closer to customers. A growing fitness community in Redmond, along with the city’s growth helped make the decision to open Jujubeet’s newest store in Redmond Town Center. “This is the first time we’ve had a store in a mall-like setting, but there’s lots of foot traffic, which is really what we’re targeting,” Raman said.

People can drop off their dog or cat food donations at Homeward Pet Adoption Center (13132 N.E. 177th Place, Woodinville) or in Redmond at Mud Bay (8867 161st Ave. N.E.), Pet Pros (15946 Redmond Way) and Petco (7215 170th Ave. N.E.).

For the entire month of November, any Nature’s Variety dog or cat food purchased at an All The Best Pet Care store will be matched, pound for pound, with a food donation to a local shelter. Additionally, those who purchase Na-
ture’s Variety food to donate to a shelter will get their gift matched, pound for pound, essentially doubling their donation. All The Best Pet Care has a Redmond store at 17875 Redmond Way. The food recipients will include Old Dog Haven, Cat Tales, Motley Zoo, Homeward Pet and PUPs. “Last year, our ‘Pound for
Pound Challenge’ resulted in donations of more than 15,000 pounds of highquality dog and cat food to our local shelters,” noted Susan Moss, owner of All

[ JUJUBEET from page 9] Jujubeet employs about 30 people across their three locations, including an on-staff dietician who offers advice on how to create nutritional recipes while avoiding facescrunching flavors and textures that “all-natural” diets tend to create. Take, for example, Jujebeet’s “artisan” juices. “Happy Greens,” “Carrot Zinger” and “Just Beet It!” pack a nutritional punch, the store owners say, without tasting like the bottom of the vegetable drawer. “Carrot Zinger” includes carrot juice, green apples, ginger and lemon, but the spiciness of the ginger is really all that you taste, with subtle notes of lemon and apple. The carrot is almost unnoticeable, making it a hit with people who otherwise might not have tried it because of the reputation of juice cleanse-style drinks. Jujubeet also offers a full range of salads, wraps, snacks and sweets. For those with a sweet tooth, Jujubeet offers tasty treats like cinnamon truffles, raspberry-cashew
Fresh, artisan juices are at the core of Jujubeet’s menu. “Just Beet It!” (pictured center) is a mixture of beets, carrots, green apples and lemon. Courtesy of Bianca Szyperski tortes and chocolate pots, all costing around five dollars. But even these treats offer health benefits, Szyperski notes, explaining that cinnamon is loaded with antioxi-
dants and has been shown to help with attention and focus issues like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Customers Bettina and John Clowry are
friends of Szyperski, and believe that a juice bar like Jujubeet is a more cost effective way to make healthy choices throughout the day. Juices cost between $7.95 and $9.95
and smoothies run between $7.95 and $10.95. “It’s awesome, so much better than just grabbing a cup of coffee in the middle of the day,” Bettina Clowry said.
“We’ve tried to do juice cleanses at home,” her husband, John said. “You buy the juicer and have all the intentions of using it, but you never do. And by the time you buy all of the fresh fruits and vegetables in addition to the juicer, it’s no longer cost effective.” Jujubeet also offers three different 10-day wellness challenges, costing about $350, which include a three-day juice cleanse, a yoga package and a hydrotherapy session at a spa. Additionally, Jujubeet provides email support with recipes and inspirational information to keep clients motivated throughout the wellness challenge. Jujubeet’s mission statement, in part reads, “We believe in seizing the moment — it only takes a moment to treat your body right; it only takes a moment to make a fresh start.”

Salvation Army and Bartell Drugs bring holiday cheer to children in need Bartell Drugs is once again partnering with the Salvation Army to provide holiday gifts for children in need by collecting new, unwrapped toys during its annual Salvation Army “Toy ‘N Joy” drive through Dec. 13.
www.redmond-reporter.com
The toy donations will be accepted at Bartell Drugs locations in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Two Redmond locations are at: 7370 170th Ave. N.E. and 8862 161st Ave. N.E. #102. Toys will be distributed to low-income children and youth the week before Christmas through the Salvation Army’s “toy warehouses.” The five-week drive in 2013 generated more than 4,427 toy donations by Bartell’s customers—the estimated equivalent of
$66,405 in toys provided to the Salvation Army. Donation options include: • Choose a “gift request tag” from the “Toy ‘N’ Joy” display in the store and return the gift to the donation barrel with the tag affixed to it. • Donate new, unwrapped gifts appropriate for children up to 14 years of age. For more information on Bartell Drugs, visit www. bartelldrugs.com.

More kids are going to have a ride to Boys and Girls Club events thanks to the donation of a surplus van from the King County Metro Vanpool Program. Metropolitan King County Council member Kathy Lambert, who represents District 3 in northeast King County, presented the keys of the “retired” van to Zach Wenman, club director of the Redmond/Sammamish Branch of the Boys and Girls Clubs of King County. “I was very excited to present a van to the Boys and Girls Club Redmond/Sammamish Branch as it’s a very valuable part of many family’s lives on the Plateau.” said Lambert. “I know the donated
van they received will be put to good use transporting kids to the many programs they offer. They are so excited to have a retired van to help meet their many transportation needs.” “Our Boys and Girls Clubs vans do more than give kids rides; they help to keep kids safe. The vans are transportation from the local middle school to our Teen Center and during school breaks they are used on field trips all around the Puget Sound,” said Wenman. “By offering these services, our vans are helping us to fulfill our mission of providing a positive place for youth in our communities.” Earlier this year, the Metropolitan King County Council approved donating three retired vans in each of
the nine council districts to agencies that provide transportation assistance to local governments, community programs, senior citizens and young people. “It was so much fun to deliver the vans and to visit with Zach and some of the students. Zach and his team are doing a great job with the club programming and have such great plans for the future.” Lambert said. In 1995, the County Council began donating retired vans to nonprofit groups for the transportation of lowincome clients. That donation effort has grown to include both nonprofits and local governments. The vans now meet the transportation needs of low-income clients, youth, the elderly and the disabled.

Hospitals finalize alliance agreement SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER
EvergreenHealth and Valley General Hospital announced Nov. 19 that their respective Boards of Commissioners have voted to approve the third and final phase of an alliance agreement in which Valley General Hospital in Monroe will become part of the Kirklandbased health care system and managed by EvergreenHealth, which has urgent and primary care centers in Redmond. As part of the agreement, Valley General Hospital will change its name to EvergreenHealth Monroe effective March 1, 2015. Valley General’s Board of Commissioners ratified the agreement on Nov. 13 by a unanimous vote. EvergreenHealth and Valley General entered into an affiliation agreement in late 2012 in which EvergreenHealth committed to working more closely with Valley General, locating additional physicians in Monroe and sharing some core services. This latest agreement results in Valley General being fully integrated with EvergreenHealth, including changing its name to EvergreenHealth Monroe. “We are pleased to have this agreement in place, giving us the opportunity to further improve the breadth and quality of the services we can provide our growing population in east Snohomish County,” said Eric Jensen, CEO of Valley General. “Since our initial agreement in 2012, we’ve made great strides in stabilizing our operations, financial performance and delivering on the promise we made to our community when they enthusiastically approved a small levy increase
to help maintain access to 24/7 emergency and trauma care and inpatient services.” Valley General was recently recognized by the Washington State Hospital Association with an Achieving Best Care award for its efforts to decrease patient harm through its participation in the Partnership for Patients initiative, a nationwide collaborative effort to reduce the number of hospital-acquired conditions by 40 percent and readmissions by 20 percent by the end of 2014. EvergreenHealth Monroe will be governed by a newly formed, integrated board structure for the 72-bed Monroe-based hospital while being part of the EvergreenHealth system. Under the agreement, the two hospitals will create an Alliance Governance Board (AGB), consisting of two Board members from EvergreenHealth, two Commissioners from Snohomish County Public Hospital District #1 (SCPHD #1), and the CEO of EvergreenHealth. The AGB will govern Valley General Hospital’s operations, while the SCPHD #1 Board will retain specific powers and responsibility for the public hospital district’s health needs. “I am proud of our organization’s willingness to step up and help create this alliance, which will go a long way in serving those who rely on Valley General Hospital,” said Al DeYoung, chair of EvergreenHealth’s Board of Commissioners. The financial position of Valley General has improved greatly since the affiliation formed in 2012. The 2015 budget projects a positive net operating income of $1 million, thanks in

Chair of the EvergreenHealth Board of Commissioners, Al DeYoung, left, and Valley General Hospital Commissioner Tony Balk signed the agreement. Courtesy photo part to improved management and added tax support approved in 2012. “I am excited about the potential this affiliation offers, not only to make our hospital and our district stronger, but to provide enhanced medical services in areas that have been underserved in our district,” said Tony Balk, chair of Valley General Board of Commissioners. In the two years since the affiliation was created, EvergreenHealth has added new primary care, prenatal obstetrics, orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation care to the Monroe community. In the late first quarter of 2015 a new 34-bed psychiatric hospital, operated by Fairfax Behavior Health, will open at Valley General Hospital in space previously occupied by Valley’s psych unit, which closed three years ago due to financial considerations.
“I have been practicing in Monroe since 2007 and I’ve watched this community and its needs evolve,” said Jonathan Borjeson, DO, board-certified general surgeon and president of the medical staff of Valley General. “This agreement means that residents of our growing community will have access to the highest quality care at the best value. It’s rewarding to be part of that growth and continue to provide quality care in a community hospital setting.” EvergreenHealth is the ninth largest hospital in the Puget Sound region, according to Puget Sound Business Journal, and has been named among the top 5 percent of hospitals in the nation by Healthgrades. Last spring, U.S. News and World Report named EvergreenHealth the top nonacademic medical center in the Puget Sound region.

International Ballet Theater’s ‘Nutcracker’ features locals TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
The International Ballet Theater (IBT), which features Redmond performers, is dedicating its upcoming performances of “The Nutcracker” at the Kirkland Performance Center (KPC) to two of the most influential men in the city’s history. One of them, former Kirkland mayor Bill Woods, will also be performing in the ballet in the role of the grandfather. The other man is Chuck Morgan, who died in 2009 at age 98.
He was simply known as “Mr. Kirkland” and performed the role of the Godfather into his 90s. Vera Altunina, a choreographer at IBT, said the theater’s take on the ballet is based on the traditional version first choreographed in 1892. “I tried to keep on the original version,” she said. “It’s very warm.” The performances, set for Dec. 5-7, signal a return to the KPC after six years performing at other venues in the greater Seattle area. A reception will be held for Woods and honor-
ing Morgan from 6-7 p.m. on Dec. 6. Altunina said the dedication to Morgan and Woods is a gesture of gratitude for the work they did to create the KPC and encourage the arts in the city. “In the past, Chuck Morgan was the greatest supporter of our company,” she said. “He also tried to help to sustain our presence at KPC.” She also said they’re paying tribute to the numerous times Morgan played the Godfather role, which he finally relinquished in 2008.
We welcome your letters email us at: anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
“He was amazing,” she said. “He was an absolutely amazing person… We wanted to pay tribute to this man who had so much passion and dedication to Kirkland.” Woods, who was a close friend of Morgan, offered to take up the mantle. “I said if you are up to the beats and you are able to dance and not afraid of stage, I am more than happy,” she said. The Reporter was unable to contact Woods for comment prior to press deadline. The two
men are credited with efforts to raise the $6 million that ultimately allowed the Kirkland Performance Center to open its doors in 1998. Altunina said during IBT’s hiatus from KPC they played at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, but they always felt like Kirkland was their home. Now that they are back they are having to alter some aspects in order to accommodate the 85 performers on the smaller stage. “It’s going to be pretty challenging to get all the dancers on,”

When Lake Washington School District (LWSD) changed from a junior high school (grades 7-9) model to a middle school (grades 6-8) model, it focused on making these schools a smooth transition from elementary school to high school. In the course of that transition, staff and administrators realized the middle school report card was not serving students and parents as well as it could. The district uses two different grading systems in elementary school and in high school. High schools use the traditional letter grades. Those grades are used in determining college admissions and other post-secondary opportunities. Elementary schools use a report card that assigns a number between one and four based on whether the student is not at, approaching, at or exceeds standard. This system, known as standards-based grading, is widely considered “best practice” for accurately reporting student performance as measured against learning standards. In fall 2015, the district will transition to [ more LWSD page 17 ]

An advisory group of administrators, teachers and others are looking for parents to help shape a balanced, research-based report card that provides middle school students with a transition from elementary school to high school. This report card should help students understand how they are doing in learning the standards they will need to success in high school.

of bus service and transit reserves during the development of the budget. The 2015-2016 budget funds full maintenance of existing bus service, while keeping adequate reserves in transit. In addition, the budget increases funding for transit’s alternative services delivery program, which provides transit service other than just a full-size (large) bus on a fixed route. Public safety within the unincorporated communities where King County is the “local” government will also benefit from the adopted budget. To help in the investigation of those accused of domestic violence, the 2015-2016 Budget includes the restoration of the domestic violence unit—two detectives and a community service officer—within the King County Sheriff ’s Office. “I’m pleased by the progress in this budget.

choices and still been able to provide this budget’s level of service in public health, public safety and infrastructure.” At the start of the budget process, several public health centers were slated for closure. Residents of the communities that depend on the clinics testified at the special meetings held by the council about the importance of the centers. Partnerships and collaboration between the county, local jurisdictions and other community agencies helped locate the funding needed to keep the clinic doors open temporarily in Federal Way, White Center and Auburn. The council’s budget also includes funding to help keep Northshore, the last of the clinics on the closure list, open into the biennium.

The Metropolitan King County Council gave its unanimous approval to the county’s first biennial (twoyear) budget, a $9 billion plan that revives the King County Sheriff ’s Domestic Violence Unit and preserves King County’s AAA bond rating by not using the county’s cash reserves or tapping the rainy day fund. “Financial pressures from the Great Recession, ever-expanding population growth and a failing tax structure unable to keep up with citizen demands continue to challenge King County’s ability to deliver even basic services,” said Council Chair Larry Phillips. “Given these binding constraints, the council can be proud it reached in a timely manner an agreement on a balanced budget maintaining services at critical levels for public health and safety.” “I’m proud of this budget
because, in spite of shrinking revenues, the county continues to help our most vulnerable neighbors,” said Council member Joe McDermott, who chairs the Budget and Fiscal Management Committee. “Our work will continue in the coming years as we work with partners to find more sustainable ways to provide and fund critical services — including those at our public health clinics.” The adopted budget is the county’s first biennial budget for all county agencies, including those contained within the County General Fund. The adopted General Fund Budget was set at 1.5 billion, threequarters of which is targeted for law, justice and public safety services. “We have worked very hard on internal rate stabilization, cost containment and organizational reforms,” said Council Vice Chair Jane Hague. “Without these efforts, we could not have faced the tough

Make your charitable gift count with workplace giving
COURTESY OF EASTSIDE BABY CORNER
Every Thursday, you can find Eastside Baby Corner (EBC) core volunteer, Sandi Dong, in the nonprofit’s distribution center toy room sorting through half-dressed dolls, miss-matched puzzle pieces and all sorts of unidentifiable toy parts that have been donated to the organization. She and her fellow toy volunteers rejoin the parts and pieces, clean them up and get them ready to give out to more than 200 kids each week. Dong’s dedication is the kind of commitment any volunteer-dependent nonprofit like EBC yearns to have, but her involvement with the organization goes even further. She and her husband Randy have also decided to support
EBC through financial contributions. Randy, who works for Microsoft, and Sandi give to EBC through Randy’s workplace giving program. Microsoft matches contributions so Randy and Sandi are able to double their gift. Sandi shares that the doubling of their gift is not the only reason they use the workplace giving program. They also enjoy the ease of it. Each year around this time, Sandi and Randy sit down to discuss their giving plan. Randy gives the names of the organizations they decide to support to his employer, and they don’t have to think about it again for another year. It’s that simple. This is the time of year many of us are given the opportunity to participate in workplace giving through our

While some people give to a charity of their choosing outside of the workplace giving program, these programs have some unique benefits that you might want to consider as you make your plans for charitable giving. Workplace giving benefits both the community and you, the employee in several ways. First, the community benefits from your gift in that the organization you give to has a better understanding of the funding it will have in the coming year. This understanding allows the organization to plan ahead and make the most of contributions. The employee benefits in
the obvious way that workplace giving is convenient. You can have your gift taken from your pay check and can still take advantage of the tax incentives. Another clear benefit to workplace giving is that if your employer matches funds, you double your contribution, helping organizations like EBC do even more to accomplish the mission you believe in. A less-obvious benefit to employees that participate in workplace giving is that you get to help direct your organizations’ charitable giving. You get to decide where they will spend their philanthropic dollars. EBC receives more than $50,000 each year through workplace giving, with almost half coming from matching funds. We are able to use this money to buy the things that we do not or cannot receive through in-kind donations, like car seats, port-a-cribs, formula and diapers. We use our ability to buy these items in bulk, and at a discounted rate to stretch the funds that come in through workplace giving. For more information, visit EBC (www.babycorner.org) or email helenr@babycorner. org.

programs for homeless youth. The adopted budget continues the County Council’s commitment to eliminating long-standing and persistent inequities and social injustices with the establishment of an Office of Equity and Social Justice. “In the county that is named for America’s foremost Civil Rights leader, I’m encouraged that even during this challenging budget time there continues to be a committed effort to meet the needs of the county’s underserved populations, populations that are predominately communities of color,” said Council member Larry Gossett. “We did this through finding partners to save programs in our public health clinics, ensuring that transit service remains stable for the next two years and with the continued support for programs that help young people who find themselves out on the streets of our county.” King County is the “local” government for the 250,000 county residents who live in unincorporated communities. The 2015-2016 Budget will include additional funds for the road maintenance division, land-use nuisance
issues and noxious weed control. “This is a budget that protects public safety, keeps our health clinics open and restores funding for the Sheriff ’s domestic violence unit,” said Council member Reagan Dunn. “As with most budgets, there have been many hard choices along the way, but I’m thankful we have been able to work together to maintain the services our residents rely on the most.” “The allocation of funds during the budget process was extremely competitive and difficult, but by working together I am happy that negotiations resulted in critical financial support for needed services in South King County,” said Council member Pete von Reichbauer. “We need to support organizations which provide educational opportunities, retraining and jobs for those most in need living in South King County.” With the unanimous vote, the 2015-2016 King County Budget will be sent to County Executive Dow Constantine for his signature. “Our resources may be very limited, but we continue to work together as a council and avoid political gridlock,” said Phillips.

[22] November 28, 2014 Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
