Turkey Trot raises money for Hopelink BY LAILA ZAYAN UW News Lab

On Sunday morning, hundreds of runners and walkers gathered at Marina Park in Kirkland for what has become a Thanksgiving tradition for many King County residents. The Turkey Trot is a 5k (three-mile) course. New this year was a separate fun run for those interested in a faster pace. Walkers could choose a more leisurely stroll along the same course, which ran from Marina Park to Carillon Point and back. The proceeds gathered from participants went toward the organization Hopelink. It provides emergency services to low-income families in King County. At this time of year, many people’s needs increase because of higher heating costs and greater food needs. According to Venetia Van-

go, Hopelink’s development events officer, “The event is for kids, teams, families, even dogs. It’s a really neat mix.” Participants Donna Costello and daughters Madison and Abby, along with Cathy Holt and daughter Bailey, were together as a team. “We are the Gobble Gobble Girls,” said Holt. The Gobble Gobble Girls participated in the Turkey Trot for the first time this year. Costello said she thought it would be fun to do it as a group and support a great cause. Brenda Cooper, chief information officer for the City of Kirkland, participated for the third time this year, along with her dog Nixie. “I like any walk I can take the dog on,” says Cooper, “and I like to support Hopelink, too,” adding that the organization is “a fabulous community resource.

The owner and one of the cooks for Amici, a resturaunt in downtown Kirkland, were charged with the rape of a woman in August. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter

Owner, cook arrested for rape at local restaurant BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

The owner and one of the cooks for the Kirkland restaurant Amici have been charged with raping a woman at the business, located at 7 Lake Shore Plaza, the morning of Aug. 7. Roland Kopp and Christopher Michael Smith, both of Kirkland, were arrested on Wednesday and are currently in jail pending bail of $250,000 each. According to charging documents, the victim was dropped off at Amici’s around 2 a.m. Aug. 7. The woman, in her late 20s, later told police she felt “tipsy,” but not overly drunk at the time, and was also taking prescription medication. At the Italian restaurant, the victim ran into four Amici employees, including Kopp and Smith. The other two employees left the scene almost immediately. Smith, 24, and Kopp, 33, invited the woman into the restaurant where they locked

the door behind them, the charges continue. As the woman sat down to call for a ride and drink some water, Kopp allegedly pushed himself up against her from behind and told her to take off her clothes, said court documents. The woman said no and told Kopp she was going to leave. Kopp responded “No, we’re going to get this worked out like we said we were going to get this worked out,” according to the charges. Kopp allegedly proceeded to forcefully remove the woman’s clothes as she attempted to stop him. Kopp told the woman “do as your told,” in an “aggressive” and “pushy” tone, the charges continue. Kopp allegedly raped the woman on the bar and floor despite her pleas to stop. When Kopp was done he “passed (the woman) off to Smith who had been present throughout,” according to court records. Kopp and Smith had a verbal exchange that the woman said was similar to Russian, before Kopp left the premises. [ more RAPE page 2 ]

told her to be a “good girl.” Smith allegedly proceeded to rape the woman “during the next few hours” at various places in the restaurant, according to court documents. The woman felt as if she needed to ask for permission to get dressed and leave, she told police. Once the woman

felt she was out of Smith’s range, she called police. The woman was transported to Evergreen Hospital for a sexual assault examination. When Kirkland Police obtained a search warrant following the incident, the restaurant was exactly how

The woman’s high-heels were also recovered at the scene with dried bodily fluid on them. Kopp was also found to have a stain on his shirt, consistent with semen, when police questioned him later that morning police say he was attempting to hide, according to probable-cause documents. In an investigational report, Kopp told police that Smith would often stay overnight in the restaurant when he was too intoxicated to drive home and that he left Smith and the victim at the business at about 2 a.m. when he went home and went straight to bed.

Kirkland photographer captures local wildlife in new book A

interesting facts about each creature. “This animal is the most poisonous animal in Washington State,” said Baggenstos, pointing to a photo he took of a rough-skinned newt. “There’s enough toxins in that animal to kill between six and 12 people.” He explains how green herons, which he spotted at Marymoor Park, are one of the few tool-using species of animals in the entire world. “They actually take objects and throw them into the water to attract fish.” He said he learned a lot about the wildlife during the eight-month process of compiling his book, both through observation and research. Many of his photo descriptions also tell readers the best locations in the area to find certain creatures. Marymoor Park at dusk and dawn, for example, is a great place to look for short-eared owls. To capture his photos, Baggenstos said some days he stood along a boardwalk all day. Other days, he kayaked, or walked through a forest. During one outing while he was at Juanita Bay Park, he noticed newly hatched wood ducks huddled on top of the mother’s back in a pyramid formation. He said he ran for 10 minutes to get closer and was successful in capturing the shot. Less frequently, he hid behind a camouflage blind in more natural locations. “If animals don’t know that you’re there, they let you see a bit more natural behavior,” said Baggenstos. “A lot of these animals are afraid of humans because

That’s when it gets really good.” It also depends on the time of year, too. Different parks are better at different times of the year to find certain species, he explained. “We live on what is called the Pacific Flyway – it’s the migration of birds north and south. So as the seasons change the different birds come, like the osprey, which have already gone south,” he said. That ever-changing cycle was also the most challenging part of the entire process, he said. He points to a photo of Pied-billed Grebe hatchlings. He went to a site in Union Bay every day until he got to watch them hatch. “These birds were listening to the cheers of the Husky Game,” he said. “So that was one of the most challenging things was locating a specific species of animals that was elusive.” Next year, Baggenstos plans to work with city officials to install colorful and educational signage at Juanita Bay Park. “I want to put up some colorful information signs about the wildlife you can see at the park so that when people go there, if it’s a bad day and they don’t see the animals, at least they know

TWO SENSE

ne of my favorite memories from childhood is coming home from my grandparents’ home on Christmas Eve. Driving through Candy Cane Lane into downtown Seattle to see the Bon Marche star and giant Christmas tree, I always wondered how they got the lights on all of the broadcasting towers. Now that I am older, I know how they got the lights up there but the thrill of a good holiday light display still gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. I also remember my father climbing on our roof, sending me up a tree with a strand of lights and searching through cardboard boxes for one more replacement bulb to make our house look like the one from Christmas Vacation. I think every house on our block dimmed a bit when he threw that switch. I have lived in quite a few neighborhoods in the Seattle area and each has its own flavor when it comes to decorating for the holidays. Even though it is a bit rundown, Candy Cane Lane is still a favorite of mine. The Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma has “Zoolights” and it is spectacular. Don’t miss Santa’s big arrival and tree lighting at Country Village in Bothell at 7 p.m on Dec. 3. And it seems like Bellevue’s Snowflake Lane is taking over as the best family place to go on the Eastside during the holidays, with a parade, lights and snow from November to January no matter how warm it is. We at the Reporter have discovered some amazing light displays in Kirkland during the past few years. One that everyone knows about is the blue house next to Lake Washington High School. The 30,000 lights put up by Jerry Shipman has

dazzled passersby’s for nearly four decades. Another light display that really shines is Barbara and Bob McConnell’s in the North Juanita neighborhood. Their 40,000 lights are choreographed to music and you don’t even have to get out of your car to experience the flickering bursts of electricity moving about to holiday favorites. But in the past three years we have made it a point to get out and photograph as many holiday houses as possible. Each year we go out, drive around and take pictures of the “best and brightest.” It is a hard job but someone has to do it. And each year we post a big slideshow on www. kirklandreporter.com and print some of the best houses in the paper. This year we got a head start and we want to improve on years past. Let us know where the best houses and streets are in Kirkland by dropping us

an email at editor@kirklandreporter.com. Send us a general address - doesn’t have to be exact if it is your neighbor’s house or an entire street – and we will try to get a photo and let people know about it. Or, we encourage you to submit a photo of a beautifully lit Kirkland home via that same email address. We will include them in the slide show and maybe even in the paper, as space allows. Many Kirkland fathers, me included, will be wrestling with Christmas lights, extension cords and attempting to find the dead bulb this week. But we do it to bring a little joy to someone’s holiday season. So when you’re standing in the street, like myself and Clark Griswold, with your feet numb and your fingers about to fall off, remember to let us know about your creation. Happy holidays!

A random act of kindness I was house sitting in Kirkland. Last week I went to the Original Pancake House for breakfast. I was extremely distraught at that time. I had been up most of the prior night on the phone with a very dear friend who was suicidal. Early in the morning I called the South County Sheriff to intervene. From that point on I was unable to contact my friend. I knew I should eat so I went to the

Pancake House. It was clear to the waitress something was wrong as I could hardly speak. I was trying not to cry and she sat with me and listened. Afterwards, I ordered but really could not eat. She brought me a “to go” box and then told me “your meal is on me today.” Thank you young lady for your compassion and gentle soul. My friend was found, hospitalized and alive. I promise that young lady I will pay it forward.

Facebook is high bar for web comments While I agree with requiring some basic user authentication for web, and any, comments, I have to wonder how the reporters at the Reporter feel about voter ID laws. A Facebook account is a considerably higher bar than a government ID is, and yet most journalists seem against identifying voters and restricting them to one vote per person.

William McNamara, Kirkland

Take exception with Jeff Jared’s column I have to take exception with Jeff Jared’s recent comments on why the USPS should be privatized. As a retired employee of Airborne Express, which was bought out by DHL, I do have some knowledge of what it takes to deliver to every single address in the U.S. It cannot be done by any of the current major carriers, i.e., UPS, FEDEX or DHL. In fact, the USPS currently handles deliveries for some of these carriers since it is not financially profitable to go to many of the remote areas in the U.S. Mr. Jared uses Germany as an example that it can be done. Well, comparing Germany to the U.S. is like comparing apples to oranges. Germany only covers some 216 thousand square miles, while the U.S. covers some 5.6 million square miles. Germany’s population is only 22 percent of the U.S. population. Mr. Jared states that the USPS is a monopoly. Well if it was privatized,

it would end up in a monopoly since I see no way mail could be handled by multiple companies. It just does not make sense. I do believe Mr. Jared just wants the U.S. government out of the mail-delivery service. Another one of his points is that if everything was sent via email, there would no longer be a need for stamps. Well email services do work for those who have access to computers, but in reality not everyone in the U.S. has a computer or access to one. I am reminded of the old adage, “If it’s not broke, don’t try and fix it.” On a personal side, what I would like for Congress to do is change the crazy legislation that requires the USPS to set aside monies to cover retirement benefits for 75 years. Because of this requirement, there could be cuts in personnel and post offices throughout the U.S. There is some movement on this and hopefully Congress will change this requirement.

Surviving the college application process A process as exciting and even “fun,� but the vast majority of students I have complained to find it tedious and tiresome, and I concur.

ll my life I have been hearing about college: the friendships I’ll make, the classes I’ll take, and the experiences I’ll have. The time that I spend in college has been described as something that I will never be able to duplicate ‌ but getting through the college application process is a whole other thing. No one told me it would be this difficult! Some of the seniors I have conversed with have described the application

are planning to embark on the process next application season: August–December. The application process is far more extensive than one realizes, and as expert college counselor Susanna Cerasuolo informs me, it consists of: volunteering, resume, test prep, testing, college list, campus visits, essay rough drafts, edited essays, interviews, transcripts, recommendation letters, applications, representative school visits, and complete application verifications. This checklist is as necessary as it is imposing, but even so, the application process is more broadly defined

Bullying ‘walk, talk and squawk’ is when someone thinks they have more power than someone else,� said Glew. What is common to see in bullying is gossiping, teasing, beating up, and social isolation aimed at someone with less social power than the bully. Girls and boys tend to bully differently. Girls tend to bully in social ways, while boys usually are more physical and violent. Boys may kick each other, punch, hit, or get into name calling. Girls usually bully by doing something Allison Hoff

KID’S CORNER

A lot of things go on at school. Bullying is one of them. When you were a young child you might have thought you were bullied when your friend didn’t play with you at recess, or when your sister called you selfish. I talked to Gwen Glew, a pediatrician who has studied bullying, and she said that the real definition of bullying is mean or negative behavior repeated over time. “One definition of bullying

more social. For example, they might gossip or do something called social isolation, which is when people don’t listen to another girl or leave her out for a period of time. Both the victim and the bully have long-term consequences. Victims feel angry, upset and powerless. But bullies pay a price, too. “Bullies are six times more

be worse than going to a college that you’ll be unhappy at. Campus visits are a great way to get a feel of a prospective campus, but airfare can be pricey. If that is the case, meeting with your school counselor and reading a copy of the Princeton Review are great alternatives. Actually applying is by far the most stressful part of it all. Every college has its own deadlines usually scattered throughout November, December, and January. Regular decision is the latest deadline, early action is an earlier deadline, and early decision is an earlier binding deadline. Filling out all of the per-

The most common places bullying can occur are at school in the hallways, bathrooms, playground, bus, or anywhere where there is not a lot of adult supervision. Bullies often have good social skills and are very intelligent. “Bullies enjoy watching people suffer and are drawn to these people,� explained Glew. Some kids want to be

friends with bullies because it makes them feel powerful and more secure that they won’t be bullied themselves. Lots of schools have programs that teach kids how to recognize bullying, including the Lake Washington School District. Glew said when somebody feels they are being bullied, it usually takes them by surprise. What can help kids stand up for themselves is to remember this phrase: walk, talk, squawk.

court documents. Petri and his accomplice are linked to fraudulent withdrawals from more than 300 victims, and the loss amount attributed to the ring is more than $276,838. According to court documents, some of the money was wired back to family and associates in Romania, and some of the account numbers and personal information was sent from associates in Europe to the men in Seattle so they could raid the European accounts at ATMs here. Judge Lasnik added that Petri had traveled to Canada posing as a musician, and was then able to sneak across the border into New York. Petri “came here through fraud to defraud,” prosecutors told the judge. Petri will likely be deported following his prison sentence. The U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force investigated the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Masada. ATM skimmers place a fake faceplate over a cash machine’s card reader. A skimming device is then placed inside the fake plate, where it can capture the information stored in the card’s magnetic strip. To complete the theft, identity thieves place small cameras above the ATM keypad to capture customers’ PIN numbers. Thieves then “re-code” victims’ bank data onto blank debit cards or store gift cards.

[ SEARCH from page 1] a family member or if the email was hacked. But the respondent directly accuses her ex-husband, Solomon Metalwala, of being involved in the boy’s disappearance. “My former husband is a sadistic Muslim Pakistani,� the respondent wrote to GMA’s Neil Karlinksky. “No one has any idea. This is all too difficult.� Some of the responses contradict the couple’s past, as seen through court documents. But the person responding in the emails calls into question the involvement of Biryukova’s ex-husband in their son’s disappearance. As the investigation into Sky’s whereabouts has largely focused on the parents, the Reporter took a closer look at the couple’s contentious past. This is part one of a two-part series.

many holes remain in her story. They’ve continued to reach out to her, but haven’t decided to arrest her. “It’s a tactical, strategic, legal decision that is something

we are considering, but not something we are willing to pull the trigger on yet,� Johnson said. A report surfaced Monday that Biryukova was involved

in an email exchange with an ABC News reporter over the weekend. According to reports, Biryukova told the reporter that Solomon Metalwala had something to do

with the boy’s disappearance. “ABC shared those emails with police, which were passed onto detectives to determine if there are any investigative value to them,� said Iafrate. “(It is) unknown if emails are actually from Julia.� Police have now received more than 1,200 tips from the public. Investigators have combed through all but approximately 25 of those tips. Johnson reiterated the importance of all tips, even those that could seem innocuous. “We encourage everyone who may have information to contact our tip line,� Johnson said. “Don’t wonder whether or not your information is relevant, let us make that decision.� Anyone with information on the case is encouraged to contact police using the tip line at (425) 452-2564 or email Pdtipline@bellevuewa. gov.

ing at Metalwala’s family business Kings Street Kafe in Pioneer Square. By the time she graduated from high school, they purchased a $265,000 Bellevue condo and they began living together. At first, the couple was passionate about running their business and enjoyed yoga, kickboxing, jogging at the Bellevue Park, movies, cooking, spending time with friends and each other. But the nature of the relationship changed in 2003, as the couple was forced to get married. Testimony in court documents states that the couple married on Feb. 10 2003 in Solomon’s mother’s kitchen after Biryukova was approached with an ultimatum - marry Solomon or never see him again after his deportation to Pakistan. It is unclear why Solomon was to be deported. Biryukova states in court documents that she hid her reason for marrying

Solomon from her parents until 2010. The couple’s financial woes, which contributed to their separation, began in 2005-2006 “as a competitor with a deli moved in next door to us, causing real economic loss from our anticipated and previously received income average. Subsequently, with the economic downturn, business became even slower,� said Solomon in court documents. But that did not stop him from purchasing an $860,000 home in Kirkland in 2008, along with the mortgage payments for the Bellevue condo. The statement in the emails to GMA that Solomon is Muslim conflicts with the couple’s past. Solomon’s conversion to Christianity is a point of conflict in the deterioration of their marriage, according to court documents. Biryukova claims that Solomon became a bornagain Christian in 2005

and that she felt his family resented her for his conversion. Parishioners at City Church in Kirkland, where the couple began attending in 2005, did not question his faith. “They have been members of the church,� said Troy Anderson, associate pastor and general counsel. “And some of our members have reached out to them.� The City Church community held a special prayer on Nov. 9 for the missing 2-year-old Redmond boy. Anderson said the couple’s kids attended Sunday school at the church. The couple also attended divorce-care meetings at the church, according to court documents. A member of City Church also played a big part in attempting to mediate conflict between the couple and played a big role in transferring the children from one party to the other during a bitter custody fight.

Two-year-old Sky Metalwala has been missing for nearly three weeks. He is pictured here with his father Solomon, of Kirkland. The photo was released by the Bellevue Police Department. COURTESY OF THE BDP

state than previous images. She is seen in a grey sweatsuit, which police said she may have been wearing Nov. 6, the day the boy disappeared. New images of the boy show him with short brown hair. Police said these images are closer representations of what the mother and son currently look like. Police say they are still trying to pin down the sequence of events that led to Sky Metalwala’s disappearance. Biryukova told police her car ran out of gas that morning, as she was attempting to take the boy to the hospital. She left the car at the 2400 block of 112th Avenue Northeast with Sky still in the car. When she returned to the car approximately an hour later, he was gone. Bellevue police Maj. Mike Johnson said police have narrowed the investigation from earlier claims that no one had

seen the boy in two weeks. He would not disclose when someone last saw the boy. The focus of the investigation has not strayed throughout the process. Police have conducted multiple interviews with people involved. They thoroughly searched and researched the area where the boy disappeared and spots near Biryukova’s Redmond home. They’ve examined and returned the Acura Integra Biryukova borrowed from her brother to take the boy to the hospital. Johnson said the investigation has “taken us around the globe,� but police believe the key to the investigation lies in this area. The boy’s father, Solomon Metalwala, has also continued to search for Sky. Johnson continued to show police’s frustration with Biryukova, who still has not met with investigators since the night the boy disappeared. Johnson said

Redistricting splits Finn Hill from Kirkland in King County representation BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

For those who pushed for the annexation of the Finn Hill, North Juanita and Kingsgate neighborhoods into Kirkland, the fight was about unity. The annexation brought an area where neighbors already felt it was a part of Kirkland into the city. But that unity will be a little more splintered as the King County Districting Committee issued its final redistricting map, giving Kirkland three representatives on the King County Council instead of just one. The committee has de-

cided to move the northwest side of Kirkland, primarily the Finn Hill neighborhood, out of District 6, which is represented by Jane Hague. District 6 still encompasses all of Kirkland proper. Instead, the Finn Hill area will now be served by District 1 and Councilman Bob Ferguson, who is also running in the 2012 race for state attorney general. District 1 primarily serves the northeast side of Seattle. “No districting plan can be perfect, but the committee made every effort to conduct its business openly, to listen to the public and use their ideas when pos-

sible, and to draw districts that truly serve the people of King County,� said committee Chair Terrence Carroll in a press release. The committee also moved a small section of the Kingsgate neighborhood into District 3, which is served by Kathy Lambert. “I know that many Finn Hill residents filed comments with the committee urging that it leave Finn Hill in District 1,� said Scott Morris, president of the Denny Creek Neighborhood Association, in an email to neighbors on Wednesday.� Similarly, the City of

Kirkland sent a letter to the committee asking that Finn Hill not be moved from District 1. “I am personally disappointed that these comments appear to have had no effect on the districting committee,â€? said Morris. He personally testified during the public comment portion of the process. The Finn Hill area has been in District 6 for 15 years. â€œâ€Ś That undoing this decision was inconsistent with the committee’s own criterion that cities not be divided between districts, and that moving Finn Hill now seemed particularly

ill-timed given our recent annexation by Kirkland,� said Morris. The loss of Hague is tough for the Finn Hill area as she has been a big advocate for the neighborhood while on the King County Council. Hague was instrumental in the annexation into Kirkland and many other issues that directly and indirectly impact the neighborhood. The change also presents an opportunity for the city in that it will have three voices on the King County Council. “It is an honor to serve the people of District 1, and I am eager to hear from

residents about what matters to them,� said Ferguson in a press release. “It is important to me that I keep the lines of communication open with the people I represent.� Council district boundaries must be redrawn after each U.S. Census to make each district as nearly equal in population as possible. All districts in the approved plan are within one-quarter of one percent of the 2011 Council district target population of 214,583.

Lake Washington School District to review internal candidates for new superintendent Reporter Newspapers

The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) announced that it plans to conduct an internal search as its first step to finding a new superintendent. The LWSD board of directors made the decision to stay local in its search to replace outgoing superintendent Dr. Chip Kimball, who will be leaving the district at the end of the school year to take a similar position in Singapore. “Most of the time, if a school district does an external search, the likelihood of an internal candidate applying is slim to none,�

said board president Jackie Pendergrass. “The culture of K-12 education is that it’s much harder to go back to a position if they are not considered or selected.� The LWSD board will begin conducting initial interviews for internal candidates and name a possible preferred candidate at its Dec. 5 meeting. If an internal candidate is selected, a process for the community to meet the candidate and provide feedback will be determined, according to LWSD communication director Kathryn Reith. If the board determines that no appropriate internal candidate

is available, it will discuss the timeline and next steps for an external search and recruitment, Reith said. Pendergrass added that it has been past practice in the district to review internal candidates first and then proceed to an external search if there was no appropriate internal candidate or candidates. The search for a new superintendent comes as the district is in the middle of a major initiative, changing its grade configuration, that will affect every school in the district. The district plans to shift from its current K-6 grades for elementary schools, 7-9 for middle schools and 10-12 for high schools model to a K-5, 6-8 and 9-12 configuration.

The board concluded that knowledge and experience of these ongoing challenges favor the consideration of internal candidates.

SURVEY RESULTS The web survey garnered 1,797 responses, primarily from parents and staff members. The district sent email invitations directly to parents and staff. It also put a link to the survey on the district website home page and provided information on the survey to the media. The results garnered 188 pages of comments, Reith said. The top issues facing the district, according to those surveyed, are: t #VEHFU TIPSUGBMM EF-

While enough snow has dropped on Whistler to create a solid base, the staff has also been making snow, turning over 50 million gallons of water into the white stuff this year.

t’s starting to look a lot like – well ski season. Thanks to some early winter weather in the mountains, several local ski areas opened last weekend, and more expect to soon. Last week a storm dropped several feet of snow in the mountains, and even some in the lowlands, kicking off the newest winter season for mountain enthusiasts. One of the first to open, Crystal Mountain, located next to Mount Rainier, officially kicked off the season on Nov. 18 with limited operations. The mountain enjoyed a solid first weekend, but closed earlier in the week because of warmer temperatures. Mount Baker, located east of Bellingham, also opened on Friday, Nov. 18 for its seven day a week operation. According to the ski area’s website: “The big storm did indeed bring us a significant dump of new snow on top of our existing base, and forecasts are calling for continued light snowfall ‌â€?. The mountain opened the base area and six chairlifts Friday. Both Mount Baker and Crystal warned skiers who planned to visit in

p.m. While the area was open, the Nordic Center is not schedule to open until Saturday, Dec. 17. Hurricane Ridge, located in the Olympic National Park just south of Port Angeles, is not yet open for the season. The smaller ski area typically opens in mid-December with operations on the weekends and some holidays. The ski area has two rope tows and one Poma lift with 10 trails for skiers and snowboarders. It could be another record breaking year for local mountains, with La NiĂąa forecasted to bring in lots of snow throughout the winter. For anyone headed east of the mountains, the Mission Ridge ski area outside of Wenatchee, opened for the weekend on Saturday, Nov. 19 and will be open again on Nov. 25. The ski area has 36 dedicated runs on 2,000 acres. As the weather changes frequently, links and updates, including ticket prices, hours of operation and directions to the various resorts, can be found at www.kirklandreporter. com.

It is easy to get caught up in emotion and saddened by the circumstance that led each special dog to the Seattle Humane Society. So, I asked Rhonda Manville, marketing director at SHS in Bellevue, how do you do it? Rhonda smiled and said, “One of the reasons is SHS has a 94.1 percent save rate for dogs and cats and I know when I come to work the following week that most of the animals will have been adopted.” She adds proudly they had a record breaking October and placed 634 dogs and cats in loving homes, the most pets adopted in a single month in the shelter’s 114 year history. The SHS, which shelters more than 5,000 homeless pets per year, is ranked No. 3 in the country with regard to “save rate.” Among animal shelters, the “save rate” is the percentage of surrendered, stray and abandoned animals who leave a shelter alive and are placed into adoptive homes, rescue groups, or returned to their owners.

Accounting is much like a messy bedroom. As small business owners we don’t have much time for accounting. If a client or customer needs something from us, accounting quickly is thrown aside. Heck, if a customer doesn’t need something from us, we still throw accounting aside. I’ve been in accounting for over 20 years. The past 14 years I have been bookkeeping for small businesses. I see many small business owners making the same mistakes. Below is a list of the most common mistakes I have seen over the years. 1. Miscategorizing expenses: There are standard categories that are generally used in accounting. When you set up your accounting software you can select the Chart of Accounts that best fits your business. Try to stick with those standard accounts. It will cut down on confusion for the bookkeeper and CPA. This will save time and money
