amazing.”His mother pulls out
a video she took of the homecoming assembly at the Lake Washington High School auditorium on Oct. 17. The crowd chants, “Tre! Tre! Tre!” as he walks down the audi-torium on a red carpet.
“The stands were rocking up and down,” re-called Tre’s brother, Brett Walker, 15.
Shelby Farrell, who was Lake Washington High School’s homecoming queen last year and now attends the University of Idaho, attended the homecoming assembly.
“I’ve never experienced anything like it,” Far-rell recalled. “There was such a strong sense of unity in the gym when Tre walked down the red carpet and received a standing ovation from
the entire school. When Tre won, the entire gym went crazy, cheering and chanting his name. It was such an amazing moment and I was so happy to be a part of it.”
Lake Washington stu-dent Jordan Zigweid said when Tre was crowned, he was “very proud” that he voted for his good friend.
Tre said as he was being crowned, he thought, “I can’t believe this is hap-pening. This is the best day of my life.”
Approximately 760 kids in grades nine through 12 voted; Tre received 89 percent of the vote, said Valerie Yob, the school’s activities director.
During the homecom-ing game on Oct. 18, in which Lake Washington beat Interlake 56-20, Tre made a royal appearance. He and homecoming queen Maddie Shepard rode onto the field dur-ing the game as they sat atop a convertible, wearing their homecom-ing garb. Following the half-time appearance, Tre jumped out of the car and ran over to play in the drum line, where mem-bers threw him up in the
air, said Tawnee Walker.“It was really cool,”
Brett Walker said. “Tre is a social kid. He knows everybody in the school. He knows how to intro-duce one person to an-other. In a way, Tre holds the whole school togeth-er. Tre’s just opened arms, no matter what they look like, no matter who they are, Tre’s just there to take them in and make them a part of it.”
Christina Thomas, Lake Washington High School principal, said she is “very proud” of the stu-dents’ support of Tre.
His parents are also proud of the school and the Lake Washington School District.
“It says a lot about the school that they would be really supportive,” Joe Walker said. “It was really something that the whole school got behind him and it just unified them. We are really proud of him and we’re really proud of the school too for their support.”
Tawnee Walker said the school district has done a “great job” of building up the school community to be one of “support and inclusion.”
Tre’s next moves will hopefully be seen on the basketball court. He plans on trying out for the basketball team.
He is also gearing up to become a firefighter after high school.
He is currently taking a fire and EMS course at Lake Washington Insti-tute of Technology called Washington Network of Innovative Classes.
Tre dons his fire gear and explains how heavy his boots are, weighing 10 pounds each.
He says it only takes him 45 seconds to put on his “bunker” gear.
“That’s super good,” he says.

acquisition strategies. “Unfor-tunately, we could not come to agreement on a develop-ment plan and the buy-sell in our agreement favored Prudential’s ability to buy Touchstone out.”
Hurd said Touchstone did “everything we could think of to find a path forward” and develop Parkplace within the plans the company developed with the city of Kirkland. As a result, Touchstone sold its interest in Parkplace to Pru-dential, which now entirely owns the site.
Hurd declined to comment on the sale price.
City officials said the sale leaves the project’s future uncertain.
“At the moment, we don’t know what [the sale] means,” said Kurt Triplett, Kirkland city manager, noting the sale was a surprise to city officials. He said city staff will reach out to Prudential officials this week to see what the com-pany’s plans are for Parkplace.
“We don’t know if they want to sell it or develop it as
proposed,” Triplett said. “As soon as we’re able to talk to Prudential, we’ll have a better feel for what’s next.”
But Triplett also believes the sale could prove to be a positive change for the project.
“If anything, it’s likely to mean that something will happen [with Parkplace],” Triplett said. “I do think that the partnership was perhaps locked up in limbo and I think this gives Parkplace a chance to get unstuck. It’s the beginning of new movement with Parkplace, that’s my hope.”
He said city officials consider the project to be one of the city’s top priorities and they will continue to work towards making Parkplace a vibrant economic area, regardless of who owns it.
Triplett added that the city has enjoyed a “very good” relationship with Touchstone and the developers worked hard on the project.
Prudential officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Kirkland father Solo-mon Metalwala lives life like his son Sky is
still with him. Though the boy went
missing two years ago when he was 2 years old, Metal-wala said most everything he does every day involves his son.
“We’re doing life like Sky’s still with us. We do life like Sky’s right here,” said Metal-wala, who lives in Kirkland with his daughter, Maile. “I’ll ask [my daughter] ‘do you think Sky might like this ice cream?’ and she says, ‘yeah, he’ll like it.’”
He said his family will not take Sky “out of the family picture. That will not hap-pen. No one has the right,
they cannot steal that from us and we will not let them. That’s how we keep Sky in the family and that’s how we live our life every day loving our Sky like he’s still here.”
Sky was reported missing by his mother Julia Biryu-kova on Nov. 6, 2011 in Bellevue after she reportedly ran out of gas. The Redmond resident told police that she left Sky in her car and walked with her daughter to get help and when she returned the boy was gone.
An intensive search took place, but the boy was not located.
Two years later, Metal-wala said “today is just like yesterday. It feels like I just hurt that he’s missing. That’s where I am because we don’t know what happened to
him. We have no evidence at all.”
He said his daughter also misses her brother “like there’s no tomorrow.”
But his strong faith in God has helped him keep a posi-tive outlook.
“I’m a strong believer in Jesus, I know what the Lord can do, for whatever reason this has not come to pass,” said Metalwala, who plans to hold another vigil for his son some time next month. “I’m just going to keep believing that God is watching over this and will make things right in his own time.”
He said he has not heard from Biryukova, but has prayed for her.
“If she can just remember who made her,” Metalwala said of the boy’s mother. “If
she can know that God saw what she did - it’s not a secret to him. Is God just waiting? We don’t really know, but we know He’s very merciful, He’s very patient.”
Metalwala and his at-torney Clay Terry said they believed the boy may be with a friend or family member of Biryukova, according to a story the Reporter published on Jan. 9, 2012.
Metalwala hopes police will keep actively search-ing for his son. He urges concerned residents to send letters to the Bellevue Police Department, calling on offi-cials to keep Sky’s case open.
Bellevue and Redmond police detectives are still assigned to the missing child case. To date, investigators have pursued more than
2,200 tips and leads in this case, according to a Bellevue police news release.
Investigators continue to seek the public’s help in locating Sky.
“All leads to date have been exhausted. Any new lead that comes to us is followed up immediately,” said Major Pat Spak, com-
mander of Investigations at the Bellevue Police Depart-ment. “We want to find this child.”
If anyone has any infor-mation regarding this case, they are urged to contact the Bellevue Police Depart-ment by sending an email to [email protected] or calling (425) 452-2564.

Hopelink Ceo steps down due to health reasons
Marilyn Mason-Plunkett, the CEO of Hopelink, a key nonprofit organization serving homeless and low-income children, families and individuals in North and East King County, has an-nounced her resignation due to health reasons, effective Oct. 31.
Mason-Plunkett served as Hopelink CEO since 2006.
“We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Marilyn for her
outstanding leadership and vision, her focus on Hope-link’s long-term strategic direction, and for elevat-ing Hopelink’s operational effectiveness. We thank her for her outstanding service to Hopelink clients, staff and partners during the past seven years,” said board chairman José Piñero.
“Our thoughts are with Marilyn as she takes time to focus on health issues that may require an extended period of recovery. uWe are saddened by her departure from Hopelink but support her decision and wish to ex-
press our deep appreciation for her dedication, compas-sion and many contributions to the underserved in King County.”
To ensure a smooth transition, the board of directors has designated Hopelink President/COO Lauren Thomas as Hope-link’s interim CEO while a search is conducted to find a permanent replacement for Mason-Plunkett.
Thomas has a long and successful history of leader-ship in local nonprofits and has guided daily operations at Hopelink since 2010.

Cities are the economic engines of the state and Washington’s transportation system is the backbone of our economy, providing
the vital connections that link our homes to our work places and carry products to market.
A strong state and local trans-portation system is necessary to create and maintain living-wage jobs in our region.
Our region is poised for continued economic recovery and growth, but that growth will be threatened if we do not invest, now, in livable and connected communities across the state.
We urge our elected o� cials in Olympia to pass a balanced transportation invest-ment package during the special session of the Legislature, recently convened by Gov. Jay Inslee.
New multi-modal transportation investment is the key to a prosperous future for Kirkland and for the Puget Sound region. State and local transportation revenue is necessary to maintain transportation infrastructure investments, address stormwater systems and complete projects that are essential for a healthy transporta-tion system. Access to a healthy transporta-tion system is critical to our quality of life, as residents commute to jobs, school, and other activities.
Like most cities, Kirkland has our own critical transportation needs. Our citizens recognized this fact and in 2012 they ap-proved Proposition 1, a permanent prop-erty tax levy to address city street maintenance and pedestrian safety needs. Yet, even with Kirkland voters’ approval of Proposition 1, Kirkland still has $249 million in unfunded street, bridge and side-
walk needs. � ese projects are crucial to the safety of our residents and to the economic development of the city.
State-authorized direct funding and local-option � nancing tools are desperately needed to allow cities such as Kirkland to address local growing transportation issues and help us ensure our economic prosperity. All of the transportation invest-ment options under consideration by the Legislature, in even the most generous combination, will leave substantial unmet needs because they account for less than a quarter of the transportation needs local
communities face today. Tolling and construction on State Route 520
have dramatically increased our residents’ and employees’ reliance on King County Metro. Yet,
without transportation revenue investments from the state, Metro must plan for devastating service cuts. As proposed, these cuts will impact Kirkland and the region and will especially impact those who rely on public transportation to get to jobs, school, medical and other services.
Our transportation system is the backbone of our economy. � e time is now for us to make a down payment toward this critical infrastruc-ture, move people and goods, grow jobs and the economy, and retain the quality of life that makes our region and Kirkland such a special place to live.
Please join us and urge your legislators to invest in your transportation system now.

Legislature should adopt bi-partisan transportation package
Bills rack up at EvergreenHealth
I have noticed recent letters in the newspapers and political statements complimenting Evergreen-Health Medical Center. My recent trip to the emer-gency room and overnight stay at Evergreen do not support the glowing comments by its supporters.
I was parked in the emergency room with no medical emergency for about four hours with the explanation that a room was unavailable. However, when I was wheeled to a room, there were several empty rooms along the corridor. I was the only occupant in my semi-private room. Because my bed was uncomfortable, I was awake all night and watched television. During the night, I listened to a man down the hall loudly begging for hours for someone to help him.
My displeasure with Evergreen increased when I received their $16,331 bill. I was at Evergreen less than 20 hours and was charged $6,557 for rooms. For medical services, I compared Evergreen charges with those of the University of Washington Medical Center where I am monitored quarterly for a dis-ease. Two examples stand out: An EKG at Evergreen cost $320, but at UW Medical, $208; and laboratory for mostly identical blood tests at Evergreen cost $1,746, but at UW Medical $385.
I departed Evergreen with another unwelcome surprise. Two days a� er leaving, I had a bloody urinary discharge from a bladder infection that required a visit to an urologist, and a $250 bill for antibiotics. � is episode con� rms advice from a friend and my long-held belief that it is better to
drive around the north end of Lake Washington for medical treatment in Seattle.Edward Bell, Kirkland
Response to LWSD letterIn last week’s issue of the Reporter, Superinten-
dent Traci Pierce o� ered a rebuttal to my previously published letter criticizing the Lake Washington School District’s policy of tearing down and replac-ing our schools instead of modernizing them as promised. My letter also objected to spending hundreds of millions of dollars more to do so, using money that could have been better used to modern-ize the rest of our schools and provide for growth.
We spent more than $65 million more to rebuild Lake Washington High School than to modern-ize it. I asserted that we could have built six new elementary or three new junior high schools to handle growth with that money by state standards (allowable area and cost allocations). Pierce argued that wasn’t possible because the district spends up to twice as much money for new construction and requires much more space than the state allows. She didn’t point out, however, that it would still have been possible to build two new elementary schools or most of a new junior high to handle growth with that 65 million, even at twice the state standards and with all the extra space the district requires. Or that the money could have been used instead to modernize several other of our buildings still waiting their turn to be replaced.Pierce stated that “new in lieu” studies were made to estimate the cost of remodeling versus the cost of new schools Actu-ally, these estimates were required by the state to
support the district’s applications for state assistance to build new schools instead of modernizing them. State support for modernization is restricted by state law to major remodeling of existing structures. In order to qualify for new construction instead of modernizing an existing building, the district must show that remodeling would cost more than a new building.
A review of several of those estimates for remodeling shows that they were loaded with several millions of dollars for non-remodeling items. Included were such items as additions, site development, site utilities, o� site work, demolition of the existing structure and so on. � e estimate for remodeling Rose Hill Junior High included, among other non remodeling items, a cost of $12.8 million for additions, $4.1 million for site development and $1.7 million for demolition of the existing structure. Given the age and condition of all the buildings re-placed, complete remodeling should have cost mil-lions less than new construction. � ese estimates all showed remodeling would cost millions more than new construction. � ere was no independent analysis of the design team’s conclusions. Pierce claims that value engineering was conducted on each project. � is study is required by state law “at the appropriate time in the design process” on all large projects receiving state funding assistance for construction. It’s intended to provide an indepen-dent expert analysis of the work of the design team to “identify unnecessary high costs or functions.” Paul Hall, Kirkland

Two Kirkland men were charged last Thursday for attempted murder and burglary after they allegedly cut, stabbed and hacked an 18-year-old man at his Kirk-land home in October.
Vincent Vinny Sisou-nong, 21, is being held on a $1 million bail and his alleged associate Blessing T. Gainey, 19, is being held on a $500,000 bail. Both are charged with one count of first-degree attempted murder and burglary in the first degree.
Charging documents state the reason the men attacked a complete stranger was for “pleasure and greed.”
Sisounong told detec-tives he wanted the victim to “fight for his life” and has had thoughts of harming others. When asked if the attack was enjoyable, Sisou-nong responded with “yeah,” court documents continue.
On the morning of Oct. 12, Kirkland police were dispatched to the victim’s
home in the Evergreen Hill neighborhood (formerly known as Kingsgate).
The victim, who police initially reported was 19 years old, was discovered at this neighbor’s house with several cuts, stabs and edged-blade-type gashes on his leg, shoulder, hands and head.
The victim said the two men confronted him with edged weapons as he slept in his bed, according to prob-able cause documents.
In a recorded statement, Sisounong told police that after breaking into the home, he found the victim and his sister sleeping in their beds on the third floor.
“… He returned to Gainey on the second floor and stated that they wanted to kill them,” probable cause documents state. “Sisounong said that Gainey agreed to participate after debating the decision for ‘three to five minutes.’”
After the suspects held a knife to his throat, the victim said he heard one
of them say he wanted to kill him, the documents continue.
But Gainey allegedly proceeded to pace around the room and speak with the victim for about a half hour, trying to delay [Sisounong] from actually killing him.
Sisounong told police that he “really wanted to do it.”
The suspects took the 18-year-old to his basement and allegedly threatened to harm the other people in the house if he wasn’t quiet.
Sisounong allegedly wrestled the victim to the floor and instructed Gainey to “cut his leg off.” Court documents state Gainey grabbed the man’s left ankle and proceeded to “use the larger knife multiple times in a chopping motion.” He continued to do the same to the victim’s left leg, causing large deep cuts down to the bone, the documents state.
“After taking him from his bed to the basement, Sisounong admitted that he told Gainey to ‘start hacking his leg,’ with the intent to
immobilize him,” the docu-ments state.
The victim recalled Sisou-nong allegedly saying that they needed to kill him now because the victim had seen their faces.
After the 18-year-old broke free, he was kicked in the head. But the struggle caused a car alarm to go off, causing Gainey to flee, ac-cording to the documents.
Sisounong stayed behind to “keep him from scream-ing” and decided to “go at his throat.”
Left alone with Sisou-nong, the victim was instructed to crawl to the other side of the basement. During this time he was assaulted with a large knife, which caused a “gaping cut” to his right shoulder.
The victim was able to get free and lock himself in the basement bathroom.
But Sisounong allegedly knocked the door open, breaking the door frame in the process. The victim sus-tained a a deep cut to his left hand in the process of trying to disarm his attacker.
After punching the sus-pect in the face, the victim escaped as he heard a loud commotion upstairs and was losing a large amount of blood.
The 18-year-old was then helped by neighbor Miles Calvert, who assisted in making a tourniquet out of bungee cords for his leg.
As soon as police arrived, the victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center where he underwent surgery for his wounds. He was there for about five days.
Kirkland police detec-tives arrested Gainey on past Kirkland warrants after he was located at a Burien library. Investigators were able to match Gainey’s left fingerprint at the scene of the crime that took place early Oct. 12.
Gainey admitted his in-volvement in the crime and identified the other suspect, Sisounong.
Police searched Sisou-nong’s home at the Kirkland Heights Apartments via a search warrant. There, they found bloodstained jeans, a hooded sweatshirt and work boots and two knives with blood stains on the blades as well. Several of the victim’s items - keys, electronics and money - were also located at the apartment.
Police arrested Sisounong in Auburn shortly after.
Sisounong has no known criminal history.
Gainey was convicted of a minor in possession in 2010 and 2012 and two convic-tions of assault in the fourth degree in 2010.
The two suspects will be arraigned on Nov. 12.

contractor hits unmarked gas line at Kirkland Pump station; no injuries
No injuries or property damage were reported after a contractor on King County’s Kirkland Pump Station proj-ect hit an unmarked gas line while installing an under-ground storm water line on Park Lane.
The incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. First responders secured the area and Puget Sound Energy was called to shut off the gas and dispatch repair crews.
King County will work with the utility to investigate the incident.
King County began construction on the $20 mil-lion pump station project in 2011 to ensure safe, reliable wastewater operations for the city of Kirkland’s growing population. The new, larger capacity pump station will comply with current seismic codes, operate more quietly and efficiently, and employ state-of-the-art odor control. It is expected that the pump station will be completed and Park Lane will reopen in spring 2014.
More information about King County’s Kirkland Pump Station project is avail-able at www.kingcounty.gov/environment/wtd/Construc-tion/East/Kirkland.aspx.

Volunteers needed to mentor youth
� e Success Mentoring Program, a service of Youth Eastside Services, is looking for volunteers interested in making a di� erence in the life of a child. Currently, more than 30 youth are on a wait-ing list to be matched with a mentor, and some have been
waiting for many months.� e commitment to be a
mentor is just two hours a week for a year, though many matches continue beyond that time. Most of the youth come from single parent fam-ilies and need extra guidance from another caring adult. With the Success Mentoring Program, mentors receive training and support from skilled YES counselors. Each match is also carefully made
for maximum compatibility.No experience with chil-
dren is needed because you build a relationship doing the things you both enjoy. Success works with mentors who are young professionals, retired, or are people who have raised a family and want to give back.
A� er screening and training, volunteers will be matched one-to-one with a child who is well suited geo-graphically, shares common interests, and is available at times suitable for the mentor.
For more information, call (425) 747-4937.

Mayor Joan McBride, who currently holds the Position 1 seat, announced earlier this year that she would not seek re-election.
Three incumbents are also running unopposed, including Amy Walen with nearly 99 percent of the vote for Position 5, Penny Sweet with more than 98 percent for Position 3 and Shelley Kloba, with 82 percent for Position 2.
Candidate Dave McDonald dropped out of the race after filing deadline, so his name still showed up on the ballot.
Evergreen board of commissioners
Evergreenhealth
board of commissioners incumbent Rebecca Hirt takes a strong lead, with nearly 68 percent of the
vote, according to early returns.
Her challeng-er Kinnon Wil-liams has more than 32 percent of the vote for the District No. 2 seat.
During a contentious race for that seat, Kirkland Councilman Toby Nixon and several in the community called out board chair Al DeY-oung and his family, who con-tributed more than $55,000 towards Williams’s cam-paign, according to the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission. Some accused DeYoung of attempting to “buy” Williams’s seat.
For the Position 5
seat, incumbent Jeanette D. Greenfield holds the lead with nearly 88 percent of the vote. Her opponent Ivars Zageris has 12 percent.
Houghton Community Council
Voters also showed strong support for the continuance of the Houghton Commu-
nity Council in early results. More than 742 voters supported the measure, while 260 voters voted against the con-tinuation of the council.
Voters in Kirk-land’s Houghton
neighborhood vote on the measure every four years.

The people we allcount on . . . count ona reliable power grid
DEMAND FOR POWER WILL EXCEED CAPACITY BY 2017The Eastside is growing faster than any other region in Washing-
ton State. But there is a hidden consequence to this growth:
Projections show that demand for reliable electricity will exceed
system capacity as early as 2017. Without substantial infrastruc-
ture upgrades, our electric transmission lines will be unable to
provide dependable power.
CONSERVATION ALONE ISN’T ENOUGHOver the past few decades, PSE has taken significant steps
to squeeze every watt out of our electric system through our
nationally recognized conservation programs. However, even
doubling the Eastside conservation will not create the capacity
we need to match economic growth. Conservation will always
be a critical part of our energy future, but only a part.
UPGRADES TO KEEP PACEWITH EASTSIDE GROWTHAt PSE, we are confident that with the right upgrades, our power
grid can keep pace with the Eastside’s dramatic growth. Over
the next several months, we will partner with local communities
and talk with our customers to identify solutions that best serve
the Eastside.
“In the event of a large-scale emergency or regional
disaster, it is crucial that we have the ability to respond
to a high volume of critically ill or injured patients. We
must have power available to meet the immediate
demands of our emergency, surgical, intensive care, and
communication and records systems in order to provide
quality medical care to the people of this community.”

BY REPORTER STAFF
Lake Washington Schools Foundation has awarded more
than $300,000 in grants to teachers and schools across the Lake Washing-ton School District for the 2013-14 school year.
The foundation is fund-ing two programs for the first time, while it contin-ues to support the rollout of the new STEM-based (science, technology, engineering, and math) Signature Programs and to fund long-standing programs such as Reach-ing for Success class-room innovation grants, the LINKS mentoring program and the Access Fund for low-income middle and high school students. Grants awarded to the school district from the foundation included a $49,000 Aspire grant from the AT&T Foundation to support high school completion and college-readiness for low-income students.
For the first time, the founda-tion is partnering with the Lake Washington School District to support 80 second-year teachers in 36 schools through the district’s highly effective and award-winning New Teacher Support Pro-gram. Foundation fund-ing of $18,000 per year for three years replaces a state grant, which is no longer available. Research from the New Teacher Center shows that teachers in their second
year make their biggest growth in instructional practice when provided with strategic and fo-cused learning.
Peter Kirk Elementary teacher Christa Fagan said, “The New Teacher Support Program helped me become a better teacher because I had constant support from my mentor, and release days to observe experienced teachers. My mentor was always there to help with lesson planning, to give me ideas and just be a listening ear when I needed to talk. Being able to see other teachers at work has been extremely beneficial to my teaching practices because for me, one of the best ways to learn is by watching how other teachers teach.”
Lake Washington Schools Foundation rais-es funds from community members, local govern-
ment and businesses, civic groups and
private founda-tions in order to support academic excellence and suc-
cess for all students across the district. The foundation is most
visible through its Reach-ing for Success grants, which fund programs and equipment valuable to students and teach-ers, such as online math practice, student leader-ship opportunities and musical instruments.
This year, schools are receiving the largest investment in Reaching for Success grants in the foundation’s history, with
more than $84,000 award-ed to five high schools, eight middle schools and 21 elementary schools. Each year, teachers sub-mit more applications for innovative grant projects than the last. Increased donor support would al-low more of these projects to become a reality.
At $22,000, the Access Fund is also being funded at the highest level in foundation history, and at $7,000 over last year, due to additional funding from the AT&T Founda-tion’s Aspire grant. The Access Fund empowers low-income middle and high school students to fully engage in school by helping them pay for school-related supplies, fees and extracurricular activities.
Redmond High School
counselor Ellen Zam-browsky-Huls administers her school’s Access Fund, nicknamed RHS Help. Ac-cording to Zambrowsky-Huls, “We want everyone to experience the stu� that makes high school, high school. Granting a $15 or $20 request to cover half an ASB card fee or a class fee can mean the di� er-ence between taking or not taking a class for some of our kids.”
“RHS Help, and the other initiatives we have begun that form the array of services to students in need, is vitally important to our school,” Redmond High School Principal Jane Todd adds. “Not only because it creates equity of access, but also because it teaches our students that it is not a sin to be poor and that
we are a community which cares about all its members.”
The school district’s new Signature Programs were the focus of Lake Washington Schools Foundation’s 2013 Legacy for Learning spring fun-draiser and the founda-tion has given nearly $300,000 to support these programs over the last two school years. This total includes a $70,000 grant for this school year, in addition to a $225,000 grant received from Waste Management in 2012.
STEM-based Signature Programs are innovative, three-period block classes available to high school students in a number of subjects. They combine rigorous academics with real-world applications
of learning on projects centered on issues like global health and sus-tainability. Students have the opportunity to learn about careers directly by working with business partners such as AT&T, EvergreenHealth and Swedish Hospital.
The LINKS mentor-ing and tutoring pro-gram, which is run by the school district and primarily funded by the foundation, is being funded at $72,200. LINKS volunteers spend one hour per week in class-rooms as mentors, tutors and classroom helpers. Last year, 892 students across the school dis-trict were paired with 294 LINKS volunteers, an 8 percent increase in students helped over the previous year. Currently, LINKS has more than 50 students in all grade lev-els ready to be matched with a volunteer mentor.
Community members interested in supporting student growth and success can take part in the foun-dation’s Back to School campaign, which is more than halfway to its goal of raising $22,000 by Dec. 31, or give to Lake Washing-ton Schools Foundation through their United Way or workplace giving cam-paign. Visit www.lwsf.org/donate to give.

Free energy e� ciency workshop Tuesday
SustainableWorks, a lo-cal community nonprofit, is hosting a “Save En-ergy Today” event to help homeowners save energy this winter - no mittens or extra sweaters required.
During the event, homeowners will learn how to take advantage of state funding and local in-centive programs to make their home more energy efficient. The event is pos-sible because of a partner-ship between the city of Kirkland and Sustainable-Works, and will take
place from 5:30-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at Heri-tage Hall in downtown Kirkland at 203 Market St. Attendees will have a chance to win a free one-day energy improvement and efficiency assessment (a $1,200 value).
Thanks to funding from the Washington state Legislature, Sus-tainableWorks is able to offer $150 “Save Energy Today” assessments and up to $2,000 in ad-ditional incentives for home energy efficiency upgrades. The purpose of the Sus-tainableWorks program is to help homeowners make home improvements that reduce their energy use and lower their carbon footprint.
Program participants can save on upgrades including furnaces, heat pumps, air sealing,
insulation, water heaters and solar. To learn more about the program, or to sign-up, please visit www.sustainableworks.com or call (206) 575-2252.
The “Save Energy Today” home assess-ment includes analysis of your home’s energy usage as well as a same day installation of energy saving measures, such as
compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs, duct sealing, pipe insulation, and air sealing. Program
participants will see immediate energy
savings and learn how to make their home even more efficient. The “Save Energy Today” program is made possible through funds from the State of Washington. After the “Save Energy Today” as-sessment, homeowners can also work with Sus-tainableWorks to make deeper energy efficiency improvements or add solar to their home.
