Sternoff, Nixon lead in early voting for Kirkland City Council

BY MATT PHELPS AND CARRIE WOOD Kirkland Reporter

T

he 2011 election season was marked by two contentious races for Kirkland voters to sort through. Preliminary results Tuesday night show only one challenger in the lead, with Toby Nixon ahead of incumbent Jessica Greenway.

King County Elections has counted 26 percent of the possible 48,000 ballots sent out to registered voters.

Nixon, a former State Rep. and annexation resident, holds a slim 51-48 percent

lead as he challenges the twoterm incumbent for Position No. 4. Nixon could become the first city council member from the annexation-area neighborhoods of Finn Hill, North Juanita and Kingsgate.

“I’m very grateful to the people of Kirkland for their support,” said Nixon over the phone from his Kirkland home, where campaign supporters, family and friends were gathered to celebrate the victory.

“We’ll be anxiously awaiting further counting for the rest of this week,” he continued. “I’m guessing by Thursday we’ll see if this 3

For Greenway, she is used to being behind early and has not given up hope.

“We’re all stressed out because we are behind,” said Greenway from her house with family, friends and supporters. “I am used to a close

election.”

Greenway said that in the 2006 election she had to wait for two weeks to see if she would gain another term.

“We expected the early votes to favor my opponent and the later votes for us,” said Greenway. “We were out doorbelling until late Sunday night. But that has always been the strategy for my [ more VOTE page 7 ]

Foul play suspected in disappearance of boy

BY BILL CHRISTIANSON Sound Publishing

Frustrated police say they have no leads and suspect a crime in the head-scratching disappearance of a 2-year-old Redmond boy, according to a Bellevue Police Department (BPD) spokesperson.

Investigators have invited relatives to take a lie-detector test in hopes of finding clues to the whereabouts of Sky Metalwala, said Carla Iafrate, BPD spokesperson.

The boy’s father, Kirkland resident Solomon Metalwala, took the test Monday and planned to take another test after Reporter deadline on Tuesday, because the initial results were inconclusive. The boy’s mother, Julia Biryukova, has not yet come forward to take the test, Iafrate said.

Now investigators are trying to find someone — besides the boy’s mother or sister — who saw Sky within the last two weeks, Iafrate said. “The last independent person from the mother to say they saw Sky was two weeks ago,� Iafrate said.

The boy’s disappearance comes at the height of a custody fight between Biryukova and Solomon, who is puzzled

by Biryukova’s account of

the details leading up to their son’s disappearance.

Biryukova reported that her son went missing after she left him alone for an hour after her car ran out of gas in Bellevue Sunday morning. Biryukova told police she left Sky in the car, which had one door unlocked, and walked with her four-yearold daughter to a nearby Chevron station.

From the gas station, she called a friend, who picked her up and took Biryukova and her daughter to her silver Acura Integra, which was stalled in the 2600 block of 112th Avenue Northeast in Bellevue.

Police would like to hear from anyone who may have travelled along 112th Ave N.E., between State Route 520 and Northeast 24th Street, Sunday between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.

Iafrate said police have received a couple of tips by people who drove by Biryukova’s stalled vehicle and said they saw no one in the vehicle. “I don’t understand why she would leave a little baby in the car,� Solomon told reporters at his Bellevue attorney’s office Monday afternoon. “The whole story is puzzling.�

Bellevue police are cur-

rently providing housing for Biryukova and the daughter has been taken into productive custody by Child Protective Services, Iafrate said.

Sky has brown eyes and dark buzz-cut hair and was wearing a dark green hooded sweatshirt and blue- and gray-striped pants.

Investigators searched a 20-block area and even went door-to-door but found no sign of the toddler. Police found no sign of entry into the car and no gas can near the car, which started easily, Iafrate said.

The daughter was questioned by a child interviewer in the presence of her mother and the daughter said her brother was indeed inside the car Sunday morning when they walked to the gas station, according to Iafrate.

Biryukova allowed investigators to search her car and home in downtown Redmond at the Veloce Apartments, but has so far refused to take a lie-detector test.

Solomon lives in Kirkland with his younger brother, Sam, who said he believes someone kidnapped his nephew. “Somebody has the child,� he said. “We just don’t know who it is.�

Sam said Biryukova has

not allowed Solomon to see either of his children since last November.

Biryukova claimed in court documents that Solomon had an anger problem and was abusive, while Solomon said in other court documents that Biryukova was battling a mental illness and was a threat to her children.

Sam confirmed that the couple agreed to tentative compromise just last week that would allow Solomon to have some visitation with Sky and his older sister.

If Sky was indeed in the car, it wouldn’t be the first time he was left alone in a car.

Solomon and Biryukova were previously charged with reckless endangerment and leaving a child unattended in a sports utility vehicle in 2009 in a Target parking lot in Redmond when Sky was

Two-year-old Sky Metalwala went missing on Sunday. Police have no leads on his disappearance. CONTRIBUTED three months old, according to court documents. Police had to ask that the vehicle’s owners be paged in order to get the parents to come out to the vehicle, the documents said.

The charges were dismissed in February of this year after the parents took court-ordered parenting classes and completed com-

munity service, the documents stated. Solomon filed for divorce in June 2010, and that same month Biryukova requested a protection order.

In it she said her husband had been physically abusive toward her and had threatened to kill her if she sought custody of their children.

any people won’t realize that today is a holiday until they find their bank closed or go to an empty mail box.

Some will be distracted by numbers. The date is 11/11/11, an irrelevant distraction from the more important news of the day. Wake me up when it is 12/21/12.

Today has also been deemed National Metal Day to celebrate the musical genre. It is a promotional event from the cable music channel VH1 Classic. The assumed background for the promotion is the classic movie farce “This is Spinal Tap,” where one of the fictitious guitarists, Nigel Tufnel, boasts about his amp going to 11, instead of the traditional 10, somehow making it louder than all other amps.

It is also the start of the weekend and most are beginning to gear up for the holiday season.

But if you clear off the distractions, and visit your local calendar, you will see that today is Veterans’ Day. Despite all of the possible distractions, many people won’t do anything to celebrate, even after they go to their bank or visit the mail box.

So what do you do to celebrate Veterans’ Day? It’s not like Christmas or Thanksgiving where it is socially obvious that you go buy a tree or cook a feast and eat turkey.

One idea is that you could donate time or money to a veterans’ charity. “Operation Iraq-Afghanistan: The Spirit of Christmas” is based in Kirkland and sends care packages to those service members still overseas. For more information visit www.operationiraq. org. The organization was founded in 2003 to provide support for troops and show appreciation at a lonely time away from home – the holiday season.

Kirkland mom Mary Jo Bader also plans to send out 350 boxes to sailors aboard the USS George Washington - the Navy’s only forward deployed aircraft carrier. Her son, AW3 Jonathan Bader, is also stationed on the ship.

This will be Bader’s third year sending out care packages to the troops. As the proud mom notes on her website: “I spend my free time writing letters and cards to various sailors along with many other Navy moms, sending care packages to my own ‘adopted sailors,’ and in general provide a ‘mom’ to whichever

sailor needs one. As proud as I am of my Navy son, he is just as proud of me and the service we provide!”

Several community members will help Bader pack up the boxes in her Finn Hill living room on Nov. 19. But she still needs items donated to put in the boxes. You may donate anything from hot chocolate packets, to various food items, health and hygiene products to books, magazines, socks, fleece blankets and more. For a full list, please visit www.sos-supportoursailors.com.

Or, make a check out to “SOS Support Our Sailors” and mail it to: Mary Jo Bader, 9013 N.E. 143rd St., Kirkland WA 98034.

If you happen to see someone you know is a veteran eating lunch or dinner, pull the server aside and offer to pay the tab anonymously. Patronizing a restaurant that supports veterans is also an easy way to show support. The restaurant chain Applebees has a noble promotion today where all veterans eat free.

By eating at the restaurant this weekend you can support the business and generous idea.

Visit a veterans’ hospital. Medical facilities can become difficult for patients with no outlet to keep their mind occupied while they heal. Anyone cooped up in a hospital room will always appreciate

a good conversation. Volunteering at a local VA center is also a good way to show your support.

Visit the National Veterans Cemetery in Kent and leave flowers at random sites and pay respects to those who are no longer with us.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars, or VFW, is also a good place to volunteer or make a donation. A good place to start is at the Lake Washington VFW Post No. 2995 located at 4330 148th Ave. N.E. in Redmond.

If you have kids, teach them about the holiday and instill the appreciation for the freedoms we all enjoy. Tell them about family members who have served our country and why it is important.

The most basic and simple idea is to just say thank you to a veteran. It may be an uncle, a father, a sister or even a co-worker, but pretty much everyone knows someone who has served our country. They have sacrificed to keep us all safe. They deserve our thanks and appreciation.

Most of these ideas can be used, not just today, but all year round. So in the tradition of Spinal Tap and Nigel Tufnel, let everyone hear your support for veterans by turning it up to 11.

Time for Kirkland to clean up panhandling It’s time for Kirkland to clean itself up and pass an ordinance that prohibits panhandling in front of businesses and on freeway on-ramps and off-ramps.

Panhandling has become a large problem and is affecting safety on our street and sidewalks. It also isn’t good for business and certainly doesn’t help with tourism.

There are many government, private, and church organizations to help these people. Please don’t misunderstand this issue as being a homeless issue. That’s completely different. Kirkland panhandlers look at it as their “job” since many of them have been “working” the same corners or areas for numerous years. It must be a prosperous

proposition if the same people keep coming back to work their daily “shifts.” Of course, panhandlers don’t pay taxes to help run our country, state, county and city. They receive tax free income.

Let’s say a beggar makes $20 per hour. Then let’s say they “work” eight hours five days a week. That’s $800 per week tax free. Multiply that by 50 weeks since even panhandlers get a two week vacation, and you come up with $40,000 tax free.

How does this help our vibrant community? It doesn’t. It doesn’t help our kids, seniors or those in the middle. It’s embarrassing to bring visitors to town and the first thing they see is people with cardboard signs. That’s the equivalent of going to Disneyland and seeing garbage all over the grounds or going to Lee Johnson Chevy and all the cars are trashed.

I know most people that give to beggars feel sorry for them. It makes you feel like you’re helping when you give five bucks. Please consider giving to organizations or churches if you like to give.

Remember, the taxes you pay already go to help all people in our community too.

I’ve heard so many first-hand accounts of panhandlers running into traffic to secure money and are nearly hit by trucks and cars. Others are asking people for money in front of businesses on Lake Street. That’s just not healthy for our business community.

What do we do about this problem? The Kirkland City Council needs to pass an ordinance to stop this behavior for the good of our community. Issaquah passed an ordinance last year and Redmond is looking at a similar ordinance.

It’s time for Kirkland to step up

and clean our beautiful city!

The ordinance in Issaquah created a fine of up to $1,000 if caught panhandling in front of businesses or on freeway offramps and on-ramps. Their ordinance didn’t stop the problem; it just moved it to other Eastside communities like Kirkland.

However, they did accomplish negating panhandling from their community.

Again, don’t mistake this as a homeless issue. I’ve spoken to many of these people and they are perfectly able to work a real job like you and I. Let’s encourage them to get one of those real jobs that can pay $40,000 a year.

Please join me and let council members know that we need this ordinance in Kirkland.

Outraged families to rally, urge Evergreen Hospital to restore cuts to midwifery services

BY CARRIE WOOD cwood@kirklandreporter.com

A group of families, mothers and midwives outraged by recent drastic cuts that were made to the midwifery program at Evergreen Hospital, plan to rally in front of the Evergreen Family Maternity Center on Nov. 15.

The Center for Women’s Health at Evergreen (CFWH), a private practice that has offered a full-service midwifery option for prenatal care and delivery at Evergreen since 1997, will reduce its midwifery staffing by 60 percent, effective Nov. 17.

The decision was made following an alleged embezzlement scheme that involved nearly $500,000 in theft from the practice in 2009-2010, according to a Kirkland Police report.

In response to the program cuts, a group of patients, professionals and other midwifery supporters have created a Facebook page, “Support Midwifery at Evergreen Hospital,” urging the hospital to employ a team of midwives directly to maintain 24-hour midwifery care at the hospital. The website

has already garnered more than 500 supporters.

The group also launched an online petition on Sunday that nearly 200 people have signed.

They will urge the hospital to reconsider its decision not to directly hire the midwives during the rally, set for 4 p.m.

Nov. 15 at the Family Maternity Center.

The five obstetricians who own CFWH and the midwives previously negotiated this option with Evergreen, but officials decided against the option. However, hospital officials now say the deal is still on the table.

Midwifery service Every year, about 4,500 babies are delivered at Evergreen Hospital, which ranks in the top 10 percent of hospitals nationwide for providing the best maternity care, according to HealthGrades.

The Center for Women’s Health at Evergreen employs five certified nurse midwives who deliver 280 of those babies each year. Currently, the midwives attend approximately 40 births per month at

Evergreen.

“Midwife means ‘with women’ and many patients come to us because they want a more patient-center approach, with more hands-on care to their pregnancy and birth,” said Heather Bradford, a certified nurse midwife at the clinic who works per diem. She has delivered 350 babies at Evergreen since 2002. “We stay with women during their whole labor and consequently, women need less intervention and are less likely to need a cesarean section.”

Bradford personally understands the importance of midwifery services. A midwife provided her with prenatal care for all three of her children, including a twin pregnancy, and attended their deliveries at Evergreen Hospital.

But now, Bradford is concerned that the recent cuts will mean less birthing options for women on the Eastside. “The midwifery program as we knew it has essentially dissolved,” she said. “It’s a truncated service at this point, which is a disservice for our patients because they won’t have a full

midwifery service available to them.”

CFWH will reduce its midwives from five to two.

This means 24-hour midwifery care will no longer be available to Evergreen patients.

“It’s a tragedy,” said Bradford, noting that many patients have already left CFWH to find better midwifery services elsewhere. “I think it’s a huge mistake on Evergreen’s part to have let this happen.”

She added that hospital officials could have handled the situation better and thinks the hospital should create an in-house midwifery service.

“That would be a very easy solution to employ the midwives to provide 24-hour service,” Bradford noted.

Bothell resident Oesa Hauch, who is helping to organize the rally, said CFWH midwives were very supportive during her pregnancy and birth of her daughter Olivia, now 7. “I had a wonderful birth experience. The midwives were also very gracious to my husband so he could be involved in the process as well,” recalled Hauch, who is the owner of Amazing Mama

Oesa Hauch and daughter, Olivia, who was delivered by a midwife at Evergreen Hospital seven years ago. CONTRIBUTED Birth Services, which offers birth and postpartum doula services on the Eastside.

“I’ve seen the wonderful care they’ve given to families, so it’s just shocking what’s going on here.”

She said part of the benefit of midwifery care is the midwives spend more time with their patients and are often able to be in the delivery room longer than an obstetrician. “Midwives are also more supportive of physiological birth. They honor the natural birth process and are not as prone to using pain interventions,” said Hauch, noting the CFWH’s low rate of cesarean sections at 15 percent, compared to the national rate of 32 percent.

With the new changes, she said a woman in labor could “show up at Evergreen and be seen by an obstetrician she’s

never met before. Her birth plan may not be honored.”

The CFWH can no longer guarantee that a midwife will attend their patients’ birth because midwives will now be expected to share on-call duties with six other obstetricians. Midwives will also no longer be able to support patients who wish to have a Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC) because there is no longer a dedicated backup for the obstetricians, which is essential for the process.

Hauch, who will also attend the rally, said the group hopes to raise public awareness about the state of midwifery services at Evergreen.

“We also want to let Evergreen know that midwifery is an important option for people,” she said, adding the [ more MIDWIFE page 15 ]

Prohibition approved for state liquor Voters decide fate of three initiatives

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

For many, one of the biggest draws for the 2011 general election was the initiatives on the ballot. From privatizing the sale of hard alcohol, to managing taxes for road construction projects, the initiatives on the ballot generated a record for money spent but could not get the majority of voters to cast a ballot.

Voter apathy apparently was the big winner this year with Washington’s Secretary of State Sam Reed predicting only 47 percent of eligible voters casting a ballot.

Reed, the state’s chief elections official, said on a state website that it would be a little lower than the past two off-year elections, reflecting a lack of major races or hotly contested and controversial ballot measures that would spur heavy interest.

One of the most controversial races was to privatize the sale of hard alcohol in the State of Washington.

Initiative 1183 looks to be passing with 60 percent of the vote.

Costco was singled out

for contributing over $20 million to push the initiative, a state record. Only $18.5 million was actually spent. The obvious impact is that those over 21 will be able to buy spirits at their local grocery store, beginning June 1, 2012.

The initiative has limitations for a retailer’s size in an effort to keep hard alcohol out of minimarts and gas stations.

Another impact of the initiative will be that the state will have to auction off the 328 statewide liquor stores, including three in Kirkland. Nine-hundred Washington State liquor store employees will also have to find new work as a result of the change. It will also generate more revenue for state and local governments. Loss of revenue was a big reason two separate measures failed last year.

Another controversial initiative on the ballot, I-1125, a Tim Eymanbacked measure, would have changed how tolls are set for local road construction projects and blocked light rail from the I-90 bridge. The initiative looks to be failing with just 49

percent of the vote.

I-1125 would also take the responsibility of setting toll rates away from the state Transportation Commission and give it to the state Legislature. The initiative would also have done away with variable tolling rates based on traffic volume or time of day and require that all tolls be a set rate. The yes campaign was financed in large part by Bellevue developer Kemper Freeman, who donated $1 million to the cause. Boeing and Microsoft were the biggest backers for the no campaign, contributing just over $1 million.

Initiative 1163, concerning long-term care workers and services for the elderly and disabled, passed with 67 percent of the vote. The measure reinstates background checks, training, and other requirements for long-term care workers and provider and address financial accountability and administrative expenses of the long-term in-home care program.

All election results will not be certified until Dec. 8.

[ VOTE from page 1] campaign.”

Greenway said that she knew the race would be tougher this time because of the increased size of the city thanks to the annexation.

The other annexationarea resident on the ballot, Jason Gardiner, is losing to incumbent Bob Sternoff 53-47 percent in preliminary results.

“He’s ahead of me right now, as the results come in it will solidify more,” said Gardiner. “Hopefully I’ll win, but the outlook doesn’t look good. I’ve got a 5 percent margin to make up.”

Bob Sternoff could not

be reached for comment Tuesday night.

Position No. 2 has been held by Sternoff for twoand-a-half terms but the incumbent is also fending off a so-called smear campaign on his actions on the council.

Concerned Citizens of Kirkland wanted Sternoff voted out of office for an email scandal that took place nearly two years ago.

Councilman Dave Asher was almost assured of four more years on the council as his challenger, Jim Hart, dropped out prior to the general election. Asher, who was first elected to Position No. 6 in 2000, earned 65 percent of the vote.

For the rest of this year, our QFC stores will continue to focus our charitable efforts on Bringing Hope To the Table, our annual drive to raise both food and cash donations for agencies which are working to feed the hungry.

As the effects of our country’s economic recession continue to impact long-term unemployment, more and more people are facing poverty and the prospects of not being able to afford proper food, shelter and health care.

Thanks to the dedication of our store associates and the generosity of our customers, QFC stores are helping to secure critically needed food supplies and money to support the work of our two Bringing Hope To the Table partners: Food Lifeline in Washington and the Oregon Food Bank in our Portland area stores. Food Lifeline states that 96% of its revenue goes directly to feeding hungry people and Oregon Food Bank says, “More than 94 cents of every dollar donated to OFB goes directly to fighting hunger.”

Last year Food Lifeline delivered more than 24 million meals to hungry people through its network of nearly 300 neighborhood food banks, hot meal programs and shelters. From 2005 to 2010, the number of people served by Food Lifeline grew from 550,000 to 686,000, an increase of 24%. Much of the food donated to local our QFC stores is targeted by Food Lifeline to supply the partner agencies it supports in the same areas those stores serve.

The Oregon Food Bank which has a network of 20 regional food banks and 923 partner agencies saw a 12 percent increase in the amount of food it provided from July of 2010 through June of 2011.

The Oregon Food Bank distributes food throughout the state and Clark County based on an allocation system that takes each area’s population and poverty statistics into account.

QFC Continues to Focus Charitable Efforts on Bringing Hope to the Table

BY Jay Wilson

King County Councilwoman Jane Hague will get another term serving the 6th district as she appears to have defeated challenger Richard Mitchell of Mercer Island with 54 percent of the vote.

Hague was instrumental in the annexation of the Finn Hill, North Juanita and Kingsgate neighborhoods from unincorporated King County into the City of Kirkland in June.

Hague has served 18 years on the council.

All election results will be certified on Dec. 8.

According to statistics provided by Food Lifeline, 37% of the people it serves are children and 12% are seniors; 9% of its clients are homeless. Many Food Lifeline clients have had to choose between food and paying for heat or utilities, between food and paying for medicine or medical care, or between paying for food and paying for rent or mortgage.

For many of us, hunger is something that only happens for short periods between meals. But for many others chronic hunger is a real problem.

Food Lifeline points out that “children who are hungry may be less attentive, independent, and curious. Many hungry children have difficulty concentrating; therefore their reading ability and verbal and motor skills suffer.”

“Chronic hunger in adults weakens bones and muscles, increases the risk

of illness, worsens existing health problems, and contributes to depression and lack of energy.”

Individuals who wish to contribute to Bringing Hope To the Table can do so in a number of ways. t

They can purchase a $10.00 premade bag. Each bag contains seven nutritious food products that will be distributed by Food Lifeline: oatmeal, tuna, diced tomatoes, quick rolled oats, pasta sauce, vegetable beef soup and macaroni and cheese.

t

They can scan a Bringing Hope To the Table” $10 Virtual Bag Donation Card by requesting the cashier to scan a product donation card.

t

Customers can donate their 3¢ Bag Re-use Credit .

t

They can scan $1, or $5 Scan cards at the check stand.

t

Coin boxes located at the check stand will be available for customers to donate their extra coins.

Finally, they can purchase food bank recommended items throughout the store and place them in our donation dump bin. Shelf signs will highlight targeted BHTTT items.

The health department and Veterinary Board agreed to allow her to practice again, pending a two-year proba-

www.kirklandreporter.com [ MIDWIFE from page 6] hospital should hire the midwives directly.

For Sharon Hammond, any decision the hospital could make will not come soon enough. The nursemidwife has already taken another job with Swedish Issaquah.

“I’m very sad to be leaving, but I certainly understand the reasons,” said Hammond, who was with CFWH for four years. “I think it’s going to be a substantial loss to women in this area because two midwives won’t be able to do 24-7 care our patients have come to expect. It’s going to be a little tougher for women in the community.”

Sachiko Oshio, a certified nurse-midwife who has already left the Evergreen clinic to work at the Northwest Hospital, said more than half of her patients are following her to Seattle.

“For a lot of my patients, it’s a hardship to travel across the bridge from Redmond, Duvall and Maple Valley,” said Oshio, who was with CFWH since 1998. “It’s a loss to the Eastside.”

She said she does not blame the center for its decision to make the cuts.

“I am sad, but in the current economic crisis, it’s understandable,” said Oshio. “What I’m most unhappy about is Evergreen Hospital didn’t make more of an effort to make the midwifery program more viable at the hospital.”

Embezzlement The center’s decision to cut services was precipitated by an embezzlement scheme that caused CFWH officials to do an extensive audit, said Karen Wells, one of the obstetricians who owns the center.

In January, the company fired its administrator after she allegedly opened at least six business credit cards without the company’s knowledge in 2009-2010, according to a Kirkland Police report.

The Everett woman, who has not yet been charged in the case, allegedly used the cards to pay for family vacations, food, entertainment and even personal dry cleaning and cell phone expenses, the report continued. The amount of embezzlement was more than $475,000, according to police documents.

The Reporter does not name anyone involved in a crime unless they are charged.

The woman later admitted to CFWH officials that she spent the company’s money for personal use and said she was seeing a therapist for a gambling and shopping problem, the report continued.

The former administrator

settled with CFWH in June to pay the company $475,000.

However, she was arrested on Aug. 11 for embezzlement and financial fraud and a criminal case against her is currently under review, said Dan Donahoe with the King County Prosecutor’s Office.

“That is what made us discover the inequity be-

tween production and salary,” said Wells, noting that the company stabilized following the embezzlement, but still couldn’t keep up with the acceptable midwife salaries in the Puget Sound area.

“We had to make a business decision. So we did not fire anybody, but the midwives who are leaving have elected

to work in a different setting that can pay them better than we can.”

Wells said the hospital administration has been “very supportive” of helping to maintain a midwifery program. “It wasn’t the hospital’s job to all of a sudden make this work in an instant, so I really don’t think the

hospital is the bad guy,” she said. “They did look into as many avenues as they could and I think it’s going to take another several months to figure that out. So they need to develop a program from the base. They can’t just take these midwives on and make it work all of a sudden. It was too tricky.”

During previous negotiations, the hospital looked at ways to employ the midwives directly, said Kay Taylor, vice president of Communications. She said it could take a couple of months for the hospital to reach a decision. more story online… kirklandreporter.com

Jan Pizarro, Redmond area vice president for the Lake Washington PTSA Council board, agreed that it is important for the district to have a superintendent who is willing to work together and collaborate with others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a council member, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like a superintendent willing to include PTA in the conversation about the direction our district takes, and that sees PTA as a partner in the process,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Pizarro and her family have been part of LWSD for nine years. She has a fifth grader at Redmond Elementary School and an eighth grader at Redmond Junior High School. She said as a parent, she wants a superintendent who considers the dynamics of working families when making district-wide decisions about school days, transportation, schedules and other issues. Pizarro would also like a superintendent who keeps â&#x20AC;&#x153;parents informed well in advance of those decisions and the reasons behind them, and is open to feedback and changes.â&#x20AC;?

Sometimes feedback will not be positive and Tim Patterson, principal of Inglewood Junior High School in Sammamish, said a superintendent should understand this is not a bad thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes great work comes from conflict,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a superintendent that is willing to engage in conflict for the purpose of (making) our schools better.â&#x20AC;?

Patterson, who has been with the district for 10 years, said Kimball has done a great job as superintendent and his successor should be able to finish the initiatives he started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently LWSD has a positive growth culture,â&#x20AC;? Patterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new superintendent needs to have the ability to grow and enhance our culture.â&#x20AC;? Kimball added that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for a superintendent to have a vision and not only know where they want to go with the district, but to have the courage to go there.

one gets to stretch their comfort zone. I never for a second would have thought that I would be writing a column for a newspaper, but here I am!

So yes, until March, I am going to be interning at the Kirkland Reporter, writing columns, blogs, and covering stories.

By writing for the Reporter weekly, it is my wish to represent the teenagers of Kirkland to the greater community. The subject matter of this column will be geared towards adolescent interests, though it can be enjoyed by everyone, so parents and teenagers alike, please hit me up if you want me to focus on anything specific.

What I hope to gain from this experience is independence, responsibility, and maybe improve my time management strategy.

Without a doubt in my mind, my stay at the Reporter will heighten my literary skills and will mold me into the competent writer I have always envisioned myself becoming.

Adding this internship to my â&#x20AC;&#x153;to-do list,â&#x20AC;? like most high school students who are also multi-tasking sports, homework, work, social life, and other extracurriculars, one must admire our resilience to accomplish so much on so little sleep.
