Sky Metalwala’s father speaks on homelessness
Gov. Jay Inslee speaks about Google’s announcement to double its footprint in Kirkland. The new 180,000 square-foot structure will be adjacent to the current campus, across the Cross Kirkland Corridor, and is expected to be � nished in 2015. CARRIE RODRIGUEZ, Kirkland Reporter
BY RAECHEL DAWSON
Gov. Jay Inslee, Kirk-land Mayor Joan McBride, and o� -
cials from Google and SRM Development announced Tuesday evening plans to double Kirkland’s Google campus.
“� is is something all of Washington should be celebrating,” said Inslee. “Kirkland is not just a label of Costco, it’s a great place to innovate.”
� e new 180,000 square-foot building is set to � nish in the spring of 2015 but construction with SRM Development may begin as early as late June. It will be placed at the formerly contaminated 5-acre Pace National Corporation site, adjacent to the current location.
Two buildings in an “L-shape” with two stories and two levels of underground parking will have, at mini-mum, a LEED Gold certi-� cation. But Dave Tomson, the development manager of SRM Development, said
they are going to try to work with DLR Group, the architectural � rm, to make LEED Platinum certi� cation a possibility.
“� e new site will be fun, whimsical and stimulating, but it will also have large investments in environmen-tal responsibil-ity,” said Chee Chew, the vice president of engineering at Google.
Whether it be eliminating 16,000 metric tons of carbon waste or designing a cafete-ria with a bicycle powered milkshake machine – such as what the current building has – the new location will
also be one of innovation. “We’re focused on creat-
ing healthy work environ-ments that help Googlers perform at their best every day and re� ect our open and collaborative culture,” said a Google spokesperson in an email.
� e expan-sion comes at a time when the City of Kirkland has its own
plans of developing the Cross Kirkland Corridor for trail use. Tomson said they are working with the city to use the corridor to connect the current Google campus to the new one.
McBride said Google has
been an exceptional corpo-rate citizen since it arrived in 2009. � e current cam-pus holds 195,000-square-feet of o� ce space and roughly 1,000 employees but upon construction of the new building, employ-ees will likely double.
In 2012 alone, Google hired hundreds of employ-ees in the Puget Sound area.
Kirkland engineers have worked on high pro� le projects such as Google+, Cloud and Chrome. Some may say Chew’s leadership has made Kirkland’s campus a “hotbed for innovation and product development” for some of Google’s most popular and heavily used services. Chew believes this is a great opportunity for the company and the surround-ing community.
Since 2011, Google gave $4.5 million in grants for programs in engineering research, the STEM educa-tion program and other nonpro� ts. Statistics for 2011 indicate Google’s eco-nomic impact has reached $3.5 billion for Washington businesses and nonpro� ts.
Google announces plans to expandLongtime mail carrier retiresBY RAECHEL DAWSON
On any regular day, chil-dren and dogs can be seen waiting for Steve Conover to pull up in his mail truck. He hands out lollipops and dog treats amidst letters, coupons and bills.
But on Friday, March 8, Conover pulled up to a crowd of around 20 chil-dren and adults and a star-adorned ban-ner that read “Finish line” over a mailbox hut. Cupcakes were handed out, hands were shaken and hugs were given. It was Con-over’s last day.
“We’ve lived in this neighborhood for 20 years, he’s the only (mail carrier) we’ve known,” said Kirkland resident Aly Barger, who lives in the Juanita neighborhood. “Seeing him in his mail truck was better than seeing the ice cream man on a hot summer day (minus the bills he deliv-ered, ha!) … He always had a smile on his face.”
Conover began work-ing as a mail carrier for the Kirkland Post O� ce on April 8, 1977, 36 years ago. As a born-and-raised Kirklander, he and his wife Wendy have continued to live in Kirkland for their entire lives.
Originally, Conover wanted to follow in his
father’s footsteps and become a police o� -cer with the Kirkland Police Department, but a� er “things just weren’t happening,” he decided to apply for a position with the U.S. Postal Ser-vice a� er his mother called his attention to
the civil service exams.“When I � rst got hired at
the post o� ce, we had an-other carrier down there. He was up in years and he had the same route for the major-ity of his career. I thought how great that was,” Conover said. “My goal was to get a route and keep that route my entire career. I wanted people to know me versus some

Solomon Metalwala’s small Kirkland apartment doesn’t have crown molding, big screen TVs or many fancy things that people usually furnish a new home with.
But it’s home. And it’s the start of a new life with his young daughter a� er more than a year searching for his missing son Sky.
“Well, my life has been pretty interesting but I only have three minutes, so I’ll make it really quick,” said Metalwala to a room full of laughter during KITH’s fourth annual � ghting home-lessness luncheon on March 8 at � e Westin Bellevue. � e fundraising event raised approximately $65,000.
As more than 160 people listened to Metalwala, a KITH client, tell his unforget-table story, a screen behind him showed a picture of his smiling children, 6-year-old Maile and Sky, who was 2
years old when he went missing in Bel-levue in 2011.
In a so� spoken voice, he described his two homes he had before he became homeless – a $265,000 Bellevue condo overlooking Lake Washington
and a nearly $1 million home in Kirkland’s South Rose Hill neighborhood.
“I had a beautiful house in Bellevue and Kirkland – but it was never a home,” said Metalwala. “We had beautiful pictures, crown molding, TVs – I had all the bells and

anonymous mailman.”Conover spent the last 32 years of his 36
year mail carrier career doing just that.“We consider ourselves to be very lucky
to have had Steve as our postman for the last 32 years,” said Kirkland resident Nona Ganz. “Constantly upbeat, friendly and accommo-dating, he will be sorely missed. Whenever I see a Kirkland mail truck, I look to see if Steve is behind the wheel. I will probably always think of him when I see the U.S. Postal Service.”
Aisha Houghton, a Kirkland resident, recalls one Christmas when her 4-year-old daughter put a letter in the mailbox for Santa Claus. To her surprise, there was a reply back saying he was sorry he didn’t reply back sooner.
� e letter wasn’t postmarked, but Hough-ton is almost certain it was Conover.
“She could not have been more thrilled,” Houghton said. “It was so sweet.”
� e Bargers say their three boys always � ock to him in hopes of picking out a lollipop and their dog has even followed him down the road for a few blocks.
Conover said he does the gesture because he’s “got to keep everybody happy.”
“It’s fun. I enjoy when the kids come out and say ‘hi,’” said Conover, who provides the
treats at his own expense. “I’ve seen people come and go, kids have kids and they come back. It’s really a great feeling, you feel like you’re a part of … you get that small-town feel, which you don’t get anymore.”
Upon retiring from the postal service, Con-over has already started a new line of work: Driving school buses. � e opportunity arose when his wife, who works for the Lake Wash-ington School District, noticed the bus drivers were under-sta� ed and in need of help.
Conover and his wife are looking forward to sharing the same work schedule, which may lead to more time with family.
“As a family, we didn’t get a lot of vacation-ing,” said Conover, who lives in the Nor-kirk neighborhood. “I got very involved in coaching and because everything happens on Saturdays, I would use all my vacation time to coach.”
With his new job, he is excited he will get to interact with children and do something new a� er so long but he can’t deny, he will miss a career that was so deeply ingrained in the community.
“� at interaction that I got with the postal customers is what I’ll miss the most, he said. “It’s what made my job special. I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the community and the Postal Service. It’s something that I’m proud of.”

Kirkland � re� ghters responded to a house � re near Peter Kirk Elementary March 7.
Initial reports at 1:30 p.m. said there was an explosion at the back of the single-story home at the 1300 block of 5th Ln. in Kirkland’s Norkirk neighborhood.
Capt. Bill Hoover said two workers who were working on an adjacent house saw smoke and � ames and ran over and went inside to make sure nobody was home.
“� ey rescued the dog,” said Hoover, who noted there were no injuries. “… � e � ames were coming up pretty good.”
� e two had some minor smoke inhalation but were
treated at the scene as seven engine trucks, two ladders, two aid cars, one medic unit, one medic supervisor, two battalion chiefs, three sup-port sta� , one aid unit and one investigator arrived.
“Initial crews came around to the back side of the house and found everything in the back of the house was on � re, the deck was on � re, the back of the house was on � re,”
Hoover said. “It then burned into the house.”
A� er � re� ghters attacked the � re from the back, they moved inside to put it out in the attic.
Fire� ghters deemed the � re out at 2:12 p.m.
“� e cause is under investigation but there were propane appliances in the back that were on � re when
the � rst engine crew arrived,” Hoover said.
Meanwhile, homeowner Je� Raulsun, who was not home at the time, received more than � ve calls from concerned neighbors.
“Neighbor, neighbor, neighbor. Call, call, call,” Raulsun said. “� ey called my o� ce and then there was a chain reaction. I just started
getting everybody unloading on my cell phone.”
Raulsun stood looking at his house with neighbors by his side as one neighbor of-fered her basement to him.
Raulsun con� rmed he and his two dogs and one bird, who are safe, were the only ones who lived there.
“I’m just trying to digest it all,” he said.

Spin a pinwheel to remember Hartley
I created Pinwheel Day to support a Kirkland family who lost their 1 year old son on March 10, 2012 just nine days before his second birthday. Lincoln Hartley had special needs and worked hard to learn how to spin toys and when he did he loved spinning toys. His mom planned to decorate
his second birthday with pinwheels but he died nine days before his birth-day. Instead, at his funeral a group of friends made 400 pinwheels to give to each person who attended the funeral.
� is year as the � rst anniversary of his death and his third birthday approaches, I have created Pinwheel Day. Pinwheel Day is March 19 and is about giving love, kindness and ser-vice and putting a pinwheel in your yard and sharing on Facebook what you did to spin hearts.
I would love to see all of Kirkland spinning with pinwheels and every-one spinning hearts.
We have hundreds of people fol-lowing the Facebook page. And this year on the anniversary of his death a kind neighbor put 100 pinwheels down the Hartleys street and covered their mailboxes with mini pinwheels.Patricia Heber, Kirkland
Corporations erode power of free speech
According to your March 1 article on “Corporations are not people,” Councilmembers Penny Sweet and Toby Nixon voted against a resolution stating corporations are not persons for the purposes of regulating elec-tions. You further note that Nixon ar-gues “freedom of assembly” is a basis for corporate citizenship, stating “It is the people who make up a corpora-tion who are doing their rights.”
It would seem obvious that most employees, who are paid to be as-sembled into a corporation, are not expecting to in� uence their employ-er’s political views, nor in any way to “petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Working in a corpora-tion is a commercial contract; it is not voluntary assembly for political activism. I seriously doubt corporate employees are expecting their political rights be forfeited to the corporation. � at would require an alternative political system.
For-pro� t corporations have the one responsibility to make a pro� t. As such they desire in� uence over gov-ernment decisions that a� ect them. In a truly competitive free market, excess in� uence would be somewhat limited as market competitors demand fair play. Yet, in today’s markets of � nance, communications, media, entertain-ment and energy we have massively consolidated industries that are too big to fail and now, apparently, too big to prosecute. � ese industries are able to bring extreme resources into
election campaigns, not without the insigni� cant strategic help of ques-tionable nonpro� t corporations. � ey have been able to greatly in� uence the creation, enforcement and judgment of laws a� ecting their industries; whether to sti� e competition, cre-ate favorable tax loopholes, loosen environmental laws at the peril of human citizens and even expand the de� nition of nonpro� t corporations for their clandestine electioneering – while also limiting media attention upon their favored status – just to mention a few examples.
It is my contention that these well-� nanced entities, controlling much of the medium and the message, have � ltered and stove-piped convoluted interpretations of our Constitution (despite its concise wording) through the few mass media channels of information currently existing in our country, thereby trying to make the absurd credible.
� is twisted logic demeans the integrity of every citizen who walks into a city council meeting expecting to be heard by their representatives as opposed to corporate-sponsored representatives – and seriously erodes the real power of FREE speech.

McLeod building would be hazardous to our health
Being almost 87 years old and living at Merrill Gardens in Kirkland, I’m astonished that a project such as the McLeod project is being consid-ered. � e emissions and increased tra� c would be hazardous to our health and safety, not to mention � retrucks and ambulances that ser-vice the elderly being able to park and turn around and leave. Shame on you Stuart McLeod. Don’t let this happen and spoil downtown Kirkland and endanger Kirkland residents.

Prohibiting Section 8 discrimination
(� e following letter was sent to the Kirkland City Council from various members of the Eastside Homeless-ness Advisory Committee). As mem-bers of EHAC and as the homeless housing and service providers of your community, we urge you to adopt Ordinance 0-4384 to prohibit the refusal to rent available housing based solely on a tenant’s use of a Section 8 voucher to pay a portion of their rent. � e Section 8 program plays a vital role in giving low-income families access to safe, healthy, market-rate housing they can a� ord. If enacted, Kirkland would join 13 states and 38 local jurisdictions that have enacted source of income discrimination laws to ensure that vulnerable populations, such as veterans, families � eeing do-mestic violence, children, seniors, and people with disabilities, have an equal chance of renting a home.
� is ordinance supports one of the main ways to prevent homeless-ness and keep housing available to vulnerable populations in the city since Section 8 vouchers make hous-ing a� ordable to residents who would normally be priced out of the private housing market. Speci� cally, this ordinance would:
1. Protect the 400 households in Kirkland currently using Section 8 vouchers from the disruption of mov-ing, should the landlord discriminate against them based on their use of a voucher.
2. Protect Kirkland households who will be issued a Section 8 voucher from discrimination and from possibly having to leave the city in order to � nd safe, healthy, a� ord-able housing.
3. Close a loophole for landlords who use the Section 8 program as a proxy for discriminating against other
protected classes, such as race or fam-ily status.
Section 8 cannot be fully e� ective so long as landlords are allowed to refuse to rent to people solely because they are using a Section 8 voucher to pay part of their rent. In communities where rents are low and vacancies are high, private landlords are more than willing to accept vouchers and even lobby for new public funding for vouchers. But in communities like Kirkland, where vacancy rates are low and rents are highest, landlords are suddenly quick to judge voucher programs and reticent to accept the vouchers they so strongly supported for other markets. As our programs continue the hard � ght to end home-lessness, we � nd this unacceptable. People at-risk of homelessness should not depend on a weak rental market to � nd housing. Low-income people in strong rental markets rely even more so on programs like Section 8 to access safe, a� ordable housing.
We understand that landlords have concerns about the Section 8 program. Given that many of our or-ganizations are landlords who rent to households with Section 8 vouchers, we can say with certainty that these concerns are unfounded. Landlords would not be unduly burdened by this ordinance. Over the past 22 years, landlords in the cities of Seattle and Bellevue have operated under a similar ordinance with minimal disruption, despite initial widespread concern. Local landlords have voiced similar fears, but they rest on inaccu-rate information. Here are the facts:
• Great benefi ts to landlords: Under Section 8, the King County Housing Authority pays their share of the rent on time every month.

whistles because I was making a lot of money at that time. But it still wasn’t a home.”
He said the economy and the “friction in the household” caused him and his then-wife Julia Biryukova to lose both homes. � e couple was going through a contentious marriage.
� en he received the news.“� e worst news that any parent can ever hear is when you
see three cops come to your door and say, ‘Well, where’s your son,’” he recalled. “On Nov. 6, 2011 I found out that my little boy, Sky Metalwala, was missing and that led me to do hun-dreds and hundreds of searches, uncountable interviews and I couldn’t work. � ere was no way.”
� e boy’s mother told police that she le� Sky in her car a� er it ran out of gas in Bellevue that day. She claims she walked with her daughter to get help and when she returned the boy was gone.
� e investigation into the boy’s whereabouts is still ongoing and police have found few leads.
In the meantime, Metalwala’s divorce was � nalized in March 2012 and he was given custody of his daughter. Biryukova, who has refused to speak with investigators about her son’s disap-pearance, was disallowed visitation rights with her daughter.
Following the disappearance, Metalwala moved into his mother’s Kirkland home.
“We kind of nourished our little family to a point where we needed our own place,” he said. “But not working, not having an income and also going through a divorce and lawyers, every saving I had was gone.”
� at’s when God “put a notion” in his heart that he should get a place of his own so that he could “grow” with his daugh-ter, he said.
“I said alright Jesus, that’s � ne but did you see my bank ac-count,” he said as the audience laughed.
One of his friends told him about how she had received housing help from Section 8, but that it would probably take him a couple of years to secure housing under that program.
So he connected with KITH – Kirkland Interfaith Transi-tions in Housing – a nonpro� t organization in Kirkland that combats homelessness within the Eastside community. In less than two months, he moved into an apartment with his daugh-ter in October 2012.
“My daughter and I, we got to celebrate her birthday in a home where there’s so much love,” he said. “We don’t have any bells and whistles, but we have a place where we’re safe. We know when we come home we can just be ourselves. And when you’re homeless, you don’t have that kind of grounding. [A home] provides you with that.”
He meets with his KITH caseworker every two weeks and they are working on moving him towards self-su� ciency by the end of the year.
He said KITH has been invaluable to his family as they move through their grief and re-focus their lives.
“Almost every day Maile comes to me and says, ‘I love our home. I love our little apartment,’” said Metalwala. “And I just thank God that we have a place that we can just call our own and she can grow up with just the initial things.”
Jennifer Barron, executive director of KITH, noted that this year’s One Night Count, organized by the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, found 190 people without shelter on the Eastside in January. � at number was up 30 percent
from last year’s count of 138 people. “I have been stunned when people ask me, ‘Do we really
have homeless people on the Eastside,’” said Barron, who has been with KITH for � ve months. “So the answer is yes, we do have homeless people in our community.”
During the event, keynote speaker Dr. Joseph Castleberry, who is the president of Northwest University, spoke about the community’s “incredible moral opportunity” to help those experiencing homelessness.
� e Bill Petter Homeless Housing Advocate Award was also given to Ron Boscola, general manager of Bellevue-based Murray Franklyn. � e company’s employees helped renovate KITH’s Salisbury Court apartments last year.

Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride and the Cultural Arts Commission awarded the annual CACHET Award to Kirkland resident Sue Contreras and Kirkland busi-ness Studio East on March 11.
Contreras was recognized for her e� orts in fundrais-ing for the restoration of the Capt. Anderson Ferry Clock and for her volunteer support of Summerfest. Studio East was honored for its work with youth in the performing arts.
Contreras has served on the Kirkland Performance Center Board of Directors, has co-chaired events, is a
current member of Kudos Kirkland, and was a key volunteer for the Summer-fest 2012 event. Her latest achievement was being a driving force behind the res-toration of the 1935 historic Anderson Ferry Clock that was recently re-installed in downtown Kirkland.
Studio East, which cel-ebrated its 20th anniversary in 2012, is one of the region’s largest theater training centers in east King County and is newly relocated with expanded facilities in the Totem Lake Business District. It o� ers comprehensive programs, including drama
class, theater arts camps, home school programs, and main stage productions for children aged four through 19. Lani Brockman, founding artistic director, accepted the award.
In addition to the award ceremony, several art students from the International School painted on stage, in response to an audience poll that they paint pictures about a day in the life of a teenager.
� e CACHET award was created by four sixth graders at Peter Kirk Elementary School in 2011. Each student was asked to draw his/her own home and/or a notable
Kirkland landmark, includ-ing many of Kirkland’s arts, culture, and heritage destina-tions. � ese have been com-bined into an extraordinary image of Kirkland through the eyes of local children that CACHET award recipients can display with pride.
Nominations were pre-screened by the Kirkland Collaboration of Arts, Culture, Heritage, Educa-tion, and � eatre (CACHET) committee, which is made up of members of the Cultural Arts Commission. Final award recipients were selected by the Cultural Arts Commission and McBride.

Mediterranean diet and heart health is more than olive oil
and nuts.� e “Mediterranean diet”
has been popular since the 1990s when Harvard did a health presentation based on the diet of Greece and
Southern Italy. � is olive oil, tomato and wine diet is what we now refer to as the Mediterranean diet, which many authors have cashed in on with books and kitschy programs.
It popped up again recently a� er another cohort study
came out in the New England Journal of Medicine. � e study done in Spain followed 7,000-plus people (about half men, half women, ages 55-80) and monitored over the course of about � ve years how many of those people had a “cardiovascular event.” Some ate a Mediterranean diet supplemented with olive oil. Some ate a diet supplemented with nuts. � e
others were just advised to lower their fat intake. In the end, there were a total of 288 cardio events (heart attacks) that occurred out of all the participants.
� e group eat-ing the Mediter-ranean diet plus nuts had 83 events. � e group eating the diet plus extra virgin olive oil had 96 events. � e last group had 109 events.
� ey con� rmed what other studies had shown and what experts have thought for a while now. Eating a Medi-
terranean diet lowers your risk of cardio trouble.
When an NPR reporter asked some Spaniards about the study, they agreed – their
food is excellent. But, they also said that even more than the types of food they eat, it’s the climate. � ey put more emphasis on following the climate - eating local foods that grow in season.
� ey stated that growing or importing food out of season loses nutrient content and people were originally designed to eat according
to their own climates. � ey stressed slowing down to enjoy your food, eating lo-cally and getting out in the sunshine and salt water.
For us Seattleites, we may not have the sun and salt wa-ter as much as the Spaniards, but we could do a better job of embracing our climate and eating according to it.
� e weather is now cold and the sun is just starting to peek out more o� en. � e ground is starting to warm a bit, tulips are blooming and rain is becoming less frequent. Ideally for us, we need to eat cauli� ower, � nish up apple season, enjoy leeks and onions for a couple more months and start looking forward to asparagus, kale, rhubarb and baby spinach that will be ready for April.
PCC has a great interactive seasonal produce calendar so you can check out what else is fresh: www.pccnaturalmar-kets.com/products/produce/inseason. So eat your toma-toes, dress with your olive oil, pop a few nuts and drink your wine, but don’t forget to stand in the sunshine and remember that foods, like � owers, have a season.

(NAPSI)—Anyone who thinks a low-maintenance landscape has to be plain green and ugly should think again. With a bit of planning, some smart plant choices and the help of these seven garden designer secrets, you can have a yard that’s the envy of your neighborhood - and enough time to enjoy it.
1. Choose plants that will flourish given the realities of your yard. Some plants like full sun while others tolerate shade; some don’t mind freezing temperatures while others are unfazed by relentless heat. Selecting plants that thrive in the exist-ing conditions of your site ensures a healthy, attractive landscape. Observe the light levels around your home - six to eight hours plus of uninterrupted sun each day indicates full sun, four to six hours is considered part shade or part sun, and less than four hours would be a shaded site. Plants at the garden center should have tags that tell you their light preferences. Shopping lo-cally helps ensure that all the plants you see will be suitable for the climate in your yard.
2. Plant drought-tolerant shrubs. These specially adapted plants thrive with limited water once they are established (usually after their first season in the ground). Drought-tolerant plants sail through hot summer days easily, saving you the time and money it takes to water the landscape. Read the tag attached to the shrub for information on its drought tolerance or look for visual cues such as silvery-grey leaves, as are found on Petit Bleu caryopteris, and narrow, needlelike foliage, as on Fine Line rhamnus.
3. Spare yourself the time it takes to prune your plants by opting for compact variet-ies. Compact (also known as dwarf) plants never get too large for the space where you’ve planted them so you
don’t have to bother with confusing pruning instruc-tions. Most people’s favor-ite plants are available in compact, no-prune varieties: Hydrangea lovers can try Little Lime or Bobo dwarf-panicle hydrangeas or the tidy Cityline series of big-leaf hydrangea. Rose fans should take note of the low-growing Oso Easy series with its range of 10 vivid colors, all under 3’ high. Even butterfly bush, a shrub notorious for its giant, sprawling habit, is available in a compact 2’ height with the innovative Lo & Behold series.
4. Choose plants with high-quality, attractive foliage. These look great even when not in bloom, beautifying your landscape for months instead of just a few weeks. Colorful foliage, including the dark purple of Black Lace elderberry or the cheery gold of Char-donnay Pearls deutzia, and variegated foliage, such as My Monet weigela or Sugar Tip hibiscus, make engag-ing focal points from early spring through late fall. Mix them with such evergreens as Castle Spire holly and Soft Serve false cypress for year-round color.
5. Plant in masses of three, five or seven of the same kind of plant. This gives your landscape a cohesive, professionally designed appearance. Plus, weeds cannot grow if desirable plants are already taking up the space, eliminating that notoriously tiresome garden chore. Planting in groups of odd numbers is a designer’s secret for a bold statement that doesn’t feel too formal or fussy.
6. Mulch. A two- to three-inch-thick layer of shredded bark mulch not only gives your landscape a pleasing, finished look, it conserves water by reducing evapora-tion. It also keeps plant roots cool and shaded, allowing for healthy, vigorous growth
that resists pests and diseases naturally.
7. Don’t be afraid to replace the plants that take too much of your time, or those that you don’t really like, with new, easy-to-grow shrubs. At www.ProvenWin-nersShrubs.com, there are so many improved variet-ies available now that there is little reason to settle for anything else.

Two-and-a-half year old Quinten is enamored with his
mother’s smartphone.As his parents talk, he sits
quietly watching a cartoon.He is calm, content and a
little shy.More than three years ago,
Quinten was frozen as an embryo in liquid nitrogen as his parents went through the stressful process of bypass-ing infertility.
“Our joke is, because he’s so calm and mellow - he’s got this great disposition - because he was frozen, it chilled him out for awhile,” said Quinten’s mother, Jennifer Lehr, with a laugh. “We’re hoping the next one is just as calm and relaxed.”
Jennifer and Tom Lehr of Kirkland are expecting a little girl at the end of June, and a� er she is settled in, they hope to unfreeze their last embryo and give it another go at Kirkland’s new infertility clinic, Poma Fertility.
Dr. Michael Opsahl and partner Dr. Klaus Wiemer were initially the Lehr’s doc-tors at a previous clinic, but a� er the doctors le� their
old practice when it sold, they decided to start over and open Poma Fertility on Feb. 11. So far, it’s been a success.
With renewed gusto, Opsahl and Wiemer worked to create a fertility clinic that o� ered In Vitro Fertiliza-tion (IVF) for all families by signi� cantly reducing its cost for self-pay patients.
IVF is the process of stimulating the women’s body to produce many eggs, which are retrieved by a doctor. � e eggs are then fertilized and cultured for several days. Typically, two embryos are implanted back in the uterus while the rest are frozen for later use. Sometimes the embryos at-tach, sometimes they don’t.
� e Lehrs had a total of eight embryos.
According to Dr. Opsahl, the average price for an IVF cycle can be up to $15,000 by the time all of the di� er-ent treatments are totaled. Poma Fertility o� ers self-pay patients one set price of $8,500 for an IVF cycle (that rate does not include certain treatments, such as cycle medication). But for those who have insurance, pricing di� ers because each ultrasound or blood work is
billed on a line-by-line basis. Nonetheless, Opsahl said two out of three patients do not have insurance coverage.
“O� en when you go to an infertility clinic when you need IVF, it’s like going to a restaurant,” Opsahl said. “You have a menu, and de-pending upon your medical condition, you choose di� er-ent selections o� the menu. If you end up needing more o� ce visits, you get an extra bill at the end. We’ve taken that away.”
� eir Refund Warranty Program also allows for 90 percent cash back if families cannot get pregnant.
Remedying some of the stress and confusion by re-ducing cost could have more bene� ts than saving money. Dr. Opsahl explains there’s a fair amount of research that stress can hinder a couple’s ability to get pregnant.
“We thought, let’s try to take out as much of the � nancial aspect of it that cre-ates angst, anxiety, turmoil,” said Wiemer, “so that people can focus on their treatment going into it, that this is what it’s going to cost in the be-ginning, and then at the end there won’t be any surprises, which can happen a lot.”
But for couples such as the Lehrs, spending
thousands of dollars to get pregnant was something they were able to work out, even though many families cannot.
“Honestly, I have no idea how we’ve gotten here today, � nancially,” Jennifer said. “Family is one thing we both knew we really wanted so we were going to do whatever it took to get it.”
“Whether it be cashing out retirement…” Tom added.
“Yep, we’re going to work
until we’re 100. It’s all worth it to us,” Jennifer said. “I think most people who are put into our position � nd a way to make it happen because you become so pas-sionate about it and it’s just what you want.”
Whether families have a baby or not, going through fertility treatments and IVF cycles can be emotionally trying and having a clinic that caters to the individual family is necessary for many.
“(In the beginning) we
were referred to a much larger practice and we went in there and it just didn’t feel… we kind of felt like a number. We didn’t have that personal feel,” Jennifer said. “� en we had some referrals over to their practice. When you walked in, you literally got the feeling that you were the only person that they were working with. You were the only couple. You felt like you mattered. � ey knew you by name. � e sta� knew who you were and you know, when you’re going through a process like this, you need that warm fuzzy cuddly feeling because it’s hard.”
At Poma, Dr. Opsahl said he sees the patients all the way through, which can help because it’s already confus-ing for families.
Wiemer adds, because Poma utilizes a smaller lab, the variables are easier to control and the faces are easier to remember.
“I’ve managed some really large labs and it does become a blur,” Wiemer said. “But when laboratories get so big, the variables that can control and impact the outcome can become larger because you have a lot more people doing stu� … You’re trying to mimic in the labo-ratory what mother nature and evolution have done for millions of years and that’s not a trivial thing to do.”
In addition to less expensive IVF treatments, Poma Fertility o� ers egg freezing, or vitri� cation, for women who want to wait for children; they special-ize in Oncofertility; and genetic testing, among other services.
For more information, contact Poma Fertility at 425-822-7662 or email [email protected].
New infertility clinic offers hope for families at lower price
Jennifer and Tom Lehr sit with their 2.5 year old boy Quinten. The Lehrs used In Vitro Fertilization to create their family after � nding out they were infertile in 2009. Now, they’re expecting their second child and will go to Poma Fertility for their third. RAECHEL DAWSON, KIRKLAND REPORTER

Everyone knows that texting and driving is against
the law. But texting and coaching might be just as risky for youth coach Troy Hennum.
Less than a year after being investigated for inappropriately texting one of his softball players at Lake Washington High School, the coach has resigned again – after just a week on the job at Roosevelt High School.
Hennum, 25, was allegedly put on leave after a woman came forward claiming that he sent his players out to find women, take their picture, get their phone number and text him the information.
“He submitted his resignation on Thurs-day,” said Seattle School District spokesperson Teresa Wippel.
Hennum had just started with the team six days prior to the inci-dent.
Hennum allegedly sent his players on a “scaven-ger hunt” to find “cute women.” Kat Aagard, who works in a Seattle sports store, said that she was approached by a group of school-age girls at work. At first she was flattered and turned over her phone number. Hennum began sending her “flirty” text mes-sages, The Seattle Times reported. She told ABC NEWS that “he seemed like a nice enough guy.” But she became worried when she did an Inter-net search for Hennum and found news reports of the investigation at Lake Washington High School.
Aagard reported the incident to Roosevelt High School administra-tion.
Wippel said some have questioned the district putting Hennum on leave for the incident.
“He is in a position of authority and you can’t ask players to do something like that,” said Wippel.
Last year, Lake Wash-ington School District
spokesperson Kathryn Reith said Hennum “was found to have violated district policy, but not to a level that would require a letter of reprimand or a letter of directive,” after he resigned from LWHS.
The Lake Washington School District’s inves-tigation into alleged inappropriate texting between Hennum and a LWHS female student athlete found no evi-
dence of an inappro-priate relationship between the two. Hennum faced no punitive action
from the district and was allowed to
apply to coach for the team again but chose to apply elsewhere.
Hennum was placed on administrative leave in April 2012, just as at Roosevelt, after students reported he was texting a player. Hennum told investigators he reached out to the Kirkland stu-dent via text because he was concerned about her and that he “regretted” doing so. The student had allegedly been hav-ing off-the-field issues, investigation documents state.
Roosevelt’s assistant
principal and athletic director hired Hennum and had the information from the investigation.
“They interviewed him and sat down with some folks at Lake Washing-ton High School and discussed the situation that happened there,” said Wippel. “They also read the (investigational) report.”
Wippel said the two administrators made the recommendation to hire Hennum but ultimately it was the Roosevelt High School principal who had the final decision.
An Internet search for Hennum revealed that he has had an affiliation with the Bothell select softball team the Bandits.
But he has since been removed from the web page.
The Reporter did not receive a reply from the organization for com-ment by press time.

John Turner ProffittJohn was born May 23, 1936,
Panama, OK and died February 19, 2013, Evergreen Hospice, Kirkland,WA
John was born in Oklahoma, moving to California as a young child where he attended school until his graduation in 1954. In his early twenties, he met Carol McCloskey and they moved with her family to Kirkland. John loved the area and swore he would never live
anywhere else. As a teenager and into his late thirties, John was an avid bowler. He spent most of his career managing bowling lanes, including Totem Bowl (currently Tech City). In the 1980’s, he received an AA from LWTC and opened his own tax business, and in the years prior to retirement he managed convenience stores. John loved working with the public and his customers idolized him. He found great joy in family trips to Lopez Island. In later years, he enjoyed trips to Lincoln City and Seaside, OR with his wife, Rosemary. They also made camping trips to the Washington coast. Hobbies John relished were photography, skeet shooting and gardening, especially his roses.
He took great joy in his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as his many nieces and nephews. John is survived by his wife, Rosemary, his son, John, stepchildren Terry (Sue) McCloskey, Lorie McCloskey Weldon (Steve), Mike (Melody) McCloskey, and his grandson, Tyler (Kate) Proffitt. John is preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Odie Proffitt, his stepson, Walt McCloskey and his granddaughter, Stephanie Proffitt.
