Ever since his son went missing three years ago, Solomon Metalwala has been on edge.
� e 39-year-old Kirkland resident doesn’t know what kind of information is com-ing 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.

The Kirkland City Council has directed the parks board to search for additional locations for the Aquatic and Rec-reation 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 con-ceptional drawings and renderings of the ARC at Juanita Beach Park. As part of the search, they will also engage in com-munity outreach, includ-ing a telephone survey to obtain resident feedback on the project, costs and
siting preferences, ac-cording 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 work-ing with a real estate broker to locate suit-able 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 resolu-
tion, who felt the city should not
continue look-ing into Juanita Beach Park as a possible site,
and that the ARC needs to accom-
modate the space within a location the city
budget, not the other way around.
“I think we’re at a situ-ation 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 draw-ings and renderings were included in the resolu-tions 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 pos-sible sites for the ARC after Juanita residents

Two 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 an-nouncing that the coaches would be on leave pend-ing the Lake Washington School District’s investi-
gation into the incident.“Juanita High School
and Lake Washington School District are com-mitted to the safety and security of every student,” the letter states.
The letter also said that Craig Peterson would act as head coach of
the varsity team as they hosted a playoff game against Sumner at Juanita High School on Saturday. Shaun Tarantola has been the head coach of the Rebels for six seasons.
The Rebels lost to Sum-ner 52-28, bringing an

The Kirkland Nour-ishing Network is expanding to help at
seven schools in Kirkland as its third year of providing food boxes to needy elemen-tary school children during school breaks begins.
School counselors and teachers identify the numbers of the most needy
students while maintain-ing con� dentiality. Families of these students receive donated food to help during school breaks when students are not receiving meal sup-port at school or through weekend pantry packs.
Kirkland donors have stepped up to meet the need during the past two years. � is � anksgiving, 180 food boxes are necessary to meet
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 con-� dent 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 Kirk-land schools.
“� ese are real families, living in our neighborhoods, who don’t have enough to eat,” Lynette said. “� e food boxes make an absolute dif-ference.”
“Our community will � ll this need if they know about it,” said Kirkland City Coun-cil 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 o� of food boxes.

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 dwarf-ism, 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 mak-ing his own food for Beans, as well as researching supple-ments 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 Van-couver, 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 busi-ness 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 fol-low 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 res-cue 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 main-tain many of the store tradi-tions, 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 pos-sible. 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 re-search findings report some good news though: the FCSP improves outcomes for caregivers- eighty-four percent of the par-ticipants 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.Dr. Cheryl Townsend Winter, Bellevue
LED lights have many benefits
Sign up today for PSE’s free 20 LED light bulbs offer for your home. You will reduce your energy bill (you can save up to $200 per year, not to mention the cost of the bulbs). You’ll also help reduce energy consumption from coal and help air quality.
Yes, 30 percent of your electricity comes from PSE’s coal plant in Montana, which has already paid $25 million in fines for pol-luting the environment. If enough Eastside residents sign up, we can forestall the city-blighting program called Energize Eastside by reducing our energy demand. Here’s how:
1. Sign up at pse.com/homeprint or call PSE at 1-800-562-1482, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. You will need your account number to sign up. Residential cus-tomers get up to 20 LED bulbs installed for free from the free “energy audit.” 2. Tell your friends and neighbors how they can save $200 per year and reduce pollution at the same time.
Act now while the program is still offered and enjoy dimmable, warm, economical light.Keith Collins, Bellevue
The minimum wage hurts the economy
I must beg to differ with Steve Hirsh of Bothell who supports the minimum wage [as printed in the Nov. 7 issue of the Reporter]. I hate to say it, but belief in the minimum wage is economically illiterate. Sort of like not believing in gravity is scientifically illiter-ate.
The minimum wages raises the cost of an employee. When you raise the cost of something, people buy less of it. If the price of apples rises, I’ll buy less. If the price of an employee rises, I’ll hire fewer. Its common-sense economics: the minimum wage causes
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 govern-ment 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 unemploy-ment and government assistance.
Americans need to become schooled in economics so that superstitious ideas like the minimum wage don’t get any attention.Jeff Jared, Kirkland
Responses to recent letters
Mr. Smith should take a step back and accept the fact: Guns don’t kill people;
people do. His overzealous reference to “outright warfare hardware” and suggestion that such free speech (ad-vertising a legal product) should be restricted - even ‘voluntarily prohib-
ited’ - by the Reporter, are downright Orwellian. By his definition, automo-
biles, cutlery, alcoholic beverages and even ballpoint pens (has he seen “Silence of the Lambs?” these can be deadly, too) should likewise be prohibited from the pages of the Reporter because each one of them can be used by deranged or impaired individuals to cause the death of others. Rope - I forgot rope. That can be used to strangle people, so you better ditch the hardware store ads, too. If we are to follow his way of thinking.
Ms. Hansen should be commended for her common sense. This author hopes the City Council backs away from the latest feel-good (but feckless and ineffective) “save the earth” campaign, popularized by trend-setting cities like Seattle. Anyone who has taken out trash in the era of paper bags knows how to answer the question: “Paper or plastic?”
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 Entry-level 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 higher-skilled 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.Roger Clarke-Johnson , Kirkland
Sibling House thanks community for support
Sibling House is a children’s charity that started in Kirkland 13 years ago. Our mission is “keeping siblings together, as a family, while in foster care.” We had our annual auc-tion on March 22 of this year at the Wash-ington Athletic Club in downtown Seattle. It was an amazing night. It would not have been so amazing without all the generous people and businesses that donated their time and items for our auction. I would like to espe-cially thank all the Kirkland businesses that donated as we were overwhelmed by so many and how generous they were.
Heathman Hotel, Grape Choice, Juanita Café, Studio East, Bold Hat Productions, Barre3, Eastlake Electric, Sensational Clean-ing Concepts, The Woodmark Hotel, Hector’s and Milagro, Sasha Blue Underwater Photog-raphy, Rock Star Tan , Chasing Lights Studio, Fly Fitness, La Luna Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy, Kirkland Police Department, Lotus Salon & Spa, Kathy Evans Beauty Studio, Mi Mexico, Acropolis Pizza, and Café Veloce.
We will be able to help many foster kids and their families because of all of your generosity. It takes a village and you are truly part of ours.Lynne and Michael Gaskill of Sibling House, Kirkland

No access allowed on sections of Cross Kirkland Corridor
� e city of Kirkland is asking that users of the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) stay o� the sections currently under construc-tion in order to help expe-dite the completion of the Interim Trail. � e trail is currently closed from 120th
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. � e city appreciates that the corridor is a popu-lar 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 e� ciently as possible.
� e construction sched-ule shows southern por-tions of the CKC Interim Trail being completed in December 2014 and � nal improvements being made to the northern sections in January 2015.
While the city and the contractor have been work-ing diligently to complete the project, delays in pro-curing some critical items have led the city to allow the contractor to extend their work-zone result-ing in a larger area of the corridor being subjected to construction closure. � is
allowance will support the contractor in continuing their work e� orts and allow for completion of the proj-ect as soon as possible.
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.
� e 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. � e trail will be in compli-ance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) with improvements includ-ing removal of all tracks, added signage, and Rapid Flashing Beacon (RFB) crosswalk devices at the fol-lowing road crossings:
• 132nd Avenue North-east
• 128th Avenue North-east

• Northeast 112th Street• Northeast 110th Street• Northeast 87th Street• Kirkland Way• Sixth Street South• 108th Avenue North-
east• Northeast 52nd StreetRailing or fencing will
be installed where required for safety and/or to protect sensitive areas. Modi� ca-tions to existing railroad trestles will also be made, as required, for pedestrian passage.

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 ver-sion proposed: Citizens believe that one of the proposed options went through the EIS process.
� ey believe it is the version that some called “the green monster” due to EIS choice of color and the massive, monstrous size. EIS consultants clearly stated this version
was not in character with the surrounding neighbor-hood.
Potala Village option No. 3 proposed: An-other option proposed for design review actually seemed to provide more generous courtyard and setback from the street. Upon � rst glance, this seemed to be one of the � rst moves in the right direction. But then the discovery that the build-ing had grown taller. � e 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 ex-tensive work done by the City Planning Commis-sion and the City Council to revamp the rules that regulate all Neighbor-hood Business Zones. � eir work impacts sev-eral neighborhoods (BN
- Moss Bay, BN1 - Rose Hill, MSC2 - Market Street and BNA – newly annexed area). During work ses-sions, planning commis-sion meetings and City Council approval, it was suggested that if ground � oor commercial were to have a 13-foot height there could be di� culty getting three stories and a builder would likely only be able to build two. � e three additional feet were to be allowed, when neces-sary to provide the more desirable 13-foot ground � oor without loss of the third story. � is provision is obviously not neces-sary in the Potala Village proposal that appears to have a 19-foot ground � oor. 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
on? Neighbors were ready to review the packet of materials fully prepared by the applicant’s architect Caron. Many had cleared their calendars and made travel arrangements to ensure that they could
participate in the estab-lished process for review. Some are now stating fears that the developer may be trying to negotiate with the city without the citizen involvement that happens during design review.
Could this be the reason that Path America and Dargey Development delayed the review of their proposals? We simply do not know.Karen Levenson, Kirkland

Long-time Snoqualmie Casino guest, Kathryn McDonald of Kirkland, was crowned National TournEvent of Champions
victor on Oct. 1 at the XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas.
McDonald, a Snoqualmie Casino member since � rst opening in 2008, was one of three guests representing the Casino in the third an-nual National TournEvent of Champions Champion-ship. Up against 122 other � nalists representing 103 casinos from around the country, McDonald fought to claim the title of “Nation’s Best Tournament Player” and walked away with an exquisite champion’s ring and a $200,000 winner’s check.
On the day that kicked o� National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Mc-
Donald, a two-time breast cancer survivor, was all smiles as she celebrated her victory with a crowd of well-wishers.
“My husband kept trying to give me strategy,” she said, “but I told him I would win by having fun, and I did. I’m just so happy.”
Snoqualmie Casino began their 2014 National TournEvent of Champions slot tournaments in May, holding free events every Monday through July, where up to 500 guests competed each week to be one of three � nalists. Sno-qualmie Casino has hosted the TournEvent of Cham-pions slot tournaments for the past three years. A Snoqualmie Casino player took third place during the Washington State Champi-onship in 2012.
“Snoqualmie Casino is proud to provide our guests with exciting events and the National TournEvent
of Champions slot tourna-ments always provides a great time for everyone involved,” said Snoqualmie Casino’s Chief Gaming Of-� cer, Tim Barker. “Kathryn was a great Snoqualmie Casino representative and so deserving of her � rst place win. We look forward to continuing to host this event in 2015, especially with the announcement of the grand prize being increased to one million dollars. We will be back to defend our title.”

Bringing HELP and HOPE to the Table
Hope Solo trial pushed back to JanuaryBY TJ MARTINELL
The trial for Kirkland resident and U.S. Soccer player Hope
Solo, accused of fourth-degree assault, has been pushed back to Jan. 20, 2015, with a motion hear-ing 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 a� er a family argu-ment 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.
“� e male caller stated that a female at the resi-dence 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 o� cers’ arrival at the home they could immedi-ately hear the sounds of the disturbance from outside the residence.
When o� cers entered the home they noticed Solo, 32, was upset and intoxicated. � ey also
observed visible injuries to Solo’s 17-year-old nephew and her sister.
Solo’s nephew had visible scratch marks, was bleed-ing from his ear and his t-shirt was torn, according to court documents.
Solo was upset, accord-ing to the report, because “her husband refused to take her to catch a � ight because he was being a jerk.”
� e 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 over-weight and crazy to ever be an athlete.” � e argument became physical, according to court documents. � e boy broke a broomstick over Solo’s head. When Solo’s sister attempted to break up the � ght, Solo allegedly punched her in the face, the documents continue.
� e teen allegedly pointed a BB gun at Solo in an attempt to get her to leave. � e boy told police Solo “kept circling like a shark.”
“A� er receiving state-ments from the persons involved, o� cers deter-mined 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 � rst court ap-pearance.
Solo eventually posted an apology on her Facebook page to fans.
“I would like to apolo-gize to my fans, team-mates, coaches, marketing partners and the entire US Soccer and Seattle Reign FC communities for my involvement in a highly un-fortunate incident this past
weekend,” Solo said in the statement. “I understand that, as a public � gure, 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.”
� e 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. � e police report for that incident stated that an altercation between eight di� erent people took place at the home during a house party and a stun gun was used.
� e call resulted in domestic violence charges against Stevens. � ose charges were eventually dropped by a Kirkland Mu-nicipal 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.

Owning a home out-right is a dream that many Americans
share. Having a mortgage can be a huge burden, and paying it o� may be the � rst item on
your � nancial to-do list. But competing with the desire to own your home free and clear is your need to invest for retirement, your child’s college education or some other goal. Putting extra cash toward one of these goals may mean sacri� c-ing another. So how do you choose?
Evaluating the opportunity cost
Deciding between pre-paying 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 � nancially 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
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 o� your loan almost six years early.
By making extra payments and saving all of that interest, you’ll clearly be gaining a lot of � nancial 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 pro� t even more from investing.
To determine if you would come out ahead if you invest-ed your extra cash, start by
looking at the a� er-tax rate of return you can expect from prepaying your mortgage. � is 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 � gure, compare it to the a� er-tax return you could receive by investing your extra cash.
For example, the a� er-tax cost of a 6.25 percent mort-gage 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 in-come tax return (the a� er-tax cost might be even lower if you were also able to deduct
Should you pay off your mortgage or invest?

mortgage interest on your state income tax return). Could you receive a higher a� er-tax rate of return if you invested your money instead of prepaying your mortgage? Keep in mind that the rate of return you’ll receive is directly related to the invest-ments you choose.
Investments with the po-tential for higher returns may expose you to more risk, so take this into account when making your decision.
Other points to considerWhile evaluating the op-
portunity cost is important, you’ll also need to weigh many other factors. � e following list of questions
may help you decide which option is best for you.
• What’s your mortgage interest rate? � e lower the rate on your mortgage, the greater the potential to re-ceive 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? � e main bene� t of prepaying your mortgage is the amount of in-terest 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 disci-pline to invest your extra cash
rather than spend it? If not, you might be better o� mak-ing extra mortgage payments.

Annual Hopelink Turkey Trot 5K set for Nov. 23 in Kirkland
Hopelink’s 14th annual Turkey Trot 5K family fun run and walk will take place Nov. 23 in Kirkland.
� e three-mile course – running from Marina Park to Carillon Point and back along Lake Washington – is open to both runners and walkers. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the race will start at 10 a.m.
Last year, nearly 1,500 Turkey Trot participants helped raise more than $260,000 in donations.

Families in poverty struggle year-round, but in winter they face added � nancial pres-sure from such things as higher home heating costs
and providing their children with warm clothing and visits to the doctor if they get sick.
� e registration fee includes a Hopelink
Turkey Trot tech shirt and an entry into a drawing for a variety of prizes, in-cluding gi� cards to local
restaurants.Prior to Nov. 17, the
registration fee is $35 for individuals and $30 each for teams of four or more. Both fees increase by $5 beginning Nov. 17. Kids in strollers and pets are free.

“Every time, I just imag-ine where he will be, know-ing that he was so young when this happened,” Metalwala continued. “I still believe he’s alive be-cause there’s no proof that he’s not alive. � at’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 a� er her car ran out of gas near the 2400 block of 112th Ave. NE in Bellevue. She told police she le� Sky in the car sleep-ing, bundled in a blanket and walked to a nearby gas station with her 4-year-old daughter. When she re-turned about an hour later, she said Sky was gone.
In November 2011, investigators searched nu-merous locations, includ-ing Marymoor Park near Redmond because of its proximity to the downtown Redmond apartment where the boy lived with his sister
and Biryukova.Metalwala has contended
since his son’s disappear-ance that Biryukova may have turned him over to a friend or family member over concerns she would lose custody of him. � eir divorce was � nalized in January 2012, with Metal-wala receiving custody of their daughter. Biryukova was interviewed by police, but allegedly became uncooperative and stopped speaking with law enforce-ment.
Metalwala hasn’t seen or spoken to Biryukova for three years.
“Someone told me she’s still in Redmond,” he said. � e Reporter couldn’t locate Birykova to comment on Sky’s disappearance.
� e Bellevue Police De-partment (BPD) reported at this same time last year it had exhausted all leads in its search for Sky. Metal-wala said police are still investigating the case, but he doesn’t meet with detec-tives as he frequently did in 2011-2012. If information
comes to light, detectives will contact Metalwala, he added.
“O� entimes, it takes only one witness or key piece of evidence to solve a case,” said BPD o� cer Seth Tyler in a Nov. 6 news release.
Metalwala said his days are pretty active: he works, spends time with his now-7-year-old daughter and helps run the recently started nonpro� t Washing-ton Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
� ey make the public aware of all the missing people in Washington and they team up with Crime Stoppers and other agencies to promote safety. Metalwala attends events at shopping centers where his nonpro� t and other organi-zations o� er information to families and make identi� -cation cards for youngsters in case something unfortu-nate happens.
Jennifer Irish of Lacey, who created the nonpro� t
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. � ey plan on holding events at Eastside stores soon, pos-sibly for Missing Children’s Days in May.
“I know it is really dif-� cult for him because he has to relive everything all over again,” said Irish, whose daughter was nearly abducted in 2009. Irish said she o� en 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 over-� owing with water.” She provides hope and “she’s really wonderful to have in my life,” he added.
Sky is on their minds ev-ery 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 o� ers 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.
If anyone has informa-tion regarding this case, the BPD asks they email [email protected] or call 425-577-5656.

voiced their opposition to placing it at Juanita Beach Park. In September, Juanita residents attended a meeting with city officials to express their dissent for reasons ranging from traffic issues to the desire to keep the north-ern part of Juanita Beach Park clear of large structures. The Juanita Neighborhood Association (JNA), also sent a letter out to Juanita residents explaining why
they opposed both possible locations of the ARC for reasons ranging from traffic to the desire to keep the northern section of the park open space.
The other possible loca-tion for the ARC was North Kirkland Community Center, though residents have stated it is too small to accommodate the facility.
The city first proposed building a new aquatic center after a 2007 study concluded that there was a “demonstrated need for
the development of indoor recreation facilities to more adequately serve the recreation demands of the Kirkland community.”
As proposed, the facility would include spaces for a number of sports, fitness, recreation, and aquatic activities, including pools for recreation, lap swimming and therapy.
The estimated cost for the facility (in 2007) was $42 million and for the moment remains unfunded, accord-ing to the city.
end to the varsity team’s season.
The letter did not name the two coaches but numerous sources have told the Reporter that assistant coach Lele Te’o has not been with the team since the incident. It is unclear if Te’o’s absence is con-nected to the incident or if he is one of the coaches who has been placed on leave.
The arrests were made Oct. 23 after the male
student and his family told police officers that he was assaulted the day before while in the school locker room by several younger male students. The male stu-dents were then identi-fied and arrested. They were interviewed and released to their parents later that day.
The Kirkland Police Department in a release stated that the Lake Washington School District has taken ac-tion against the four
students per district policy. Students are given an emergency expulsion if the district believes they impose a danger to other stu-dents or faculty mem-bers, according to Lake Washington School District spokesperson Kathryn Reith. They can later be allowed back to school if they are no longer deter-mined to be a danger.
The case is still under investigation by police department detectives.

Kirkland celebrates opening of extension to northeast 120th street
Annexations have added more than 115 miles of existing roads to Kirkland’s street network in the past few decades.
Private development has added a few new streets around the city in recent years.
To find the last road Kirkland added to its network by physi-cally building one, however, you’ll have to visit Northeast 100th Street, where, for the purpose of emer-gency access, the City con-nected the Highlands and North Rose Hill neigh-borhoods—and Spinney Homestead Park and Slater Avenue Northeast—with a bridge over Interstate 405.
A few decades later, the city of Kirkland is opening one more new road—the Northeast 120th Street extension that connects Slater Avenue Northeast to 124th Avenue Northeast.
The community will be celebrating its opening with a 10 a.m., Nov. 19 ceremony. The Kirkland City Council will be there to celebrate the new road with residents, and county and state officials. Cascade Bicycle Club will be there, as will the Lake Washing-ton High School’s drum line.
One of the benefits they’ll be celebrating is what the road will do for the community. This 800-feet of roadway will ease pressure at three nearby intersections—124th Avenue and 124th Street, 124th Avenue and 116th Street, and 124th Avenue and Slater Avenue North-east.
“’Competing move-ments’ are movements
that are competing for green time at the intersection,” says Thang Nguyen, one of Kirkland’s trans-
portation engineers. “Let’s take a left-turn and through: They are compet-ing movements. Those are movements that cannot run at the same time. One has to wait for the other through signal phasing in order to get through the intersection. This road will reduce those at each intersection.”
The need for the 120th Street extension was first articulated in the Totem Lake Neighborhood Plan.
“Over the past decade, the Totem Lake Neighbor-hood has experienced one of the highest rates of traf-fic growth in the city,” the plan says. “Road improve-ments have not kept pace with this growth, contrib-uting 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, construc-tion 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 retain-ing 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.
For project information, go to www.kirklandwa.gov and search NE 120th Street.

� e Kirkland City Council is taking the next step towards promoting environment policies on a regional level they have promoted locally for sev-eral years.
� e council voted to au-
thorize Mayor Amy Walen signing a letter pledging its commitment, with other cities in King County, to support e� orts to reduce green-house gas emissions.
� e King County-Cities Climate Collaboration Joint Letter of Commit-ment calls for cities to focus on “practical, near-
term, collaborative oppor-tunities” with King County to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which the coali-tion believes is causing a rise in temperatures.
� e 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 Management Council voted in favor of.
� e city com-mitted to similar greenhouse gas emission reduction goals in 2008 a� er receiving recommen-dations by the sta� , with reductions of 20 percent from 2005 levels by 2020.
Much of what is intend-ed regionally it has already done in Kirkland, accord-ing to Director of Human Resources James Lopez, who is also the director of
the Performance Manage-ment Green Team Sta� .
“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 hap-pen.”
Among Kirkland’s proj-ects is its Green Building
Program, in which homes built using the Built
Green Certi� cation are 20 percent more energy-e� cient than the energy standards
mandated under the Washington State Energy Code.
Kirkland has also pushed for recycling, hav-ing been the number one city in King County for single family residential recycling, at 67.95 percent, for six of the last seven years.
� e combined 2013 recycling rate was 44.6 percent.
Another environmental e� ort on the part of the city has been the Totem Lake Green Trip (TGT) program, a personal travel management site that en-courages commuters to use alternative means of trans-portation such as buses,
carpools and vanpools. � e program aims to
reduce 680 annual trips by the end of 2015 within the Totem Lake Urban Center.
� e city � rst 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 warm-ing - by reducing green-house gas emissions.
In 2009, the council ad-opted the Climate Change Protection Action Plan proposed by sta� .
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 consid-ering 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 develop-ment rights to properties designated as urban.
� e council voted 6-1 authorizing the most re-cent resolution, with Toby Nixon the lone dissenting council member.
During the council discussion, Nixon said he opposed the letter, claim-ing it designated CO2 as a pollutant.
He also objected to the letter calling climate change the “paramount challenge of our genera-tion.”
“Climate change has al-ways occurred and always will,” he said. “We should not make major decisions that have the potential to impact negatively on qual-ity of life based on incon-sistent data.”
� e 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.”
� e Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNSA) recently published a report that examined temperatures in the Northeast Paci� c coast-al region from 1990-2012. � e report concluded that the rise in temperature in the area was due to natural causes and not humans.
Council commits to supporting climate change initiatives
Help keep neighborhoods safe during storms
Kirkland’s drainage system has been designed to hold and carry water during storms to prevent flooding.
However, heavy storms may ex-ceed the system’s capacity and some flooding may occur.
There are over 15,000 storm drains in Kirkland. Leaves and de-bris can block rain water from flowing into storm drains and often cause localized flooding.
Flooding can cause safety concerns and prop-erty damage.
Kirkland residents and businesses are encour-aged to take measures
to prevent flooding and flood damage:CLEAR LEAVES FROM STORM DRAINSDo not rake or blow leaves into the street. Place leaves in yard waste bin or compost.
Before, during and af-ter 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 cre-ates hazardous
conditions.Call Public Works
Maintenance at 425-587-3900 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 encour-aged to have a supply of
sandbags on-hand as a preparedness measure.
Two self-service sandbag filling sta-tions 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 Main-tenance Center, 915 8th Street, parking lot Juanita Beach Park, 9703 NE Juanita Drive, parking lot south of Juanita Drive.TO LEARN MORE

LW Schools Foundation celebrates 10 years
With more than 26,000 students and numerous honors and awards, the
Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is one of the largest and most suc-cessful school districts in Washington. Part of this success is due to financial support from the commu-nity through Lake Wash-ington 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 Presi-dent Minerva Butler, along with the foundation’s board of trustees, thanks the com-munity for their donations and involvement in their schools.
The foundation’s board of trustees includes President Minerva Butler, Vice Presi-dent 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, com-
munity 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 neigh-boring 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.
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 Wash-ington students.
Blier stepped down in June after serving on the board for over nine years, first as a member and then for two years as board president.
“I’m proud that de-spite challenges over the years, the Foundation has
endured and is fulfilling its founders’ original goal of equalizing the eco-nomic 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 commu-nity by helping all children succeed.”
Tracy Hoien played a key role in the Foundation’s success, serving as a found-ing 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.
The foundation’s an-nual Legacy for Learning fundraising luncheon is currently its central fund-raising 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 29, at which it will celebrate ten years of invest-ing in students and schools. There are opportunities for businesses and organiza-tions 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 Signa-ture Programs in all high schools with grants totaling $320,000.
In addition to support from the community, other major donors include Microsoft, Waste Manage-ment, Sodexo, the Discuren Charitable and Wockner Foundations, local govern-ments and PTSAs. For a complete list of sponsors, please visit our website at www.lwsf.org/investors.
The foundation is cur-rently reminding the com-munity 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 do-nation today at www.lwsf.org/donate.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity 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 de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing 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 make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
