eople sang and prayed, hugged each other and cried and released 369 blue balloons to mark the amount of days Sky Metalwala was missing during last Saturday’s gathering at the Downtown Park in Redmond.

Hope was in the air among the 65 attendees who joined Sky’s father, Solomon, at the event.

“They came by to receive some strength that he is out there — and we will find him,” Solomon, of Kirkland, told the Reporter on Thursday morning. “It’s my job as a father to make sure that people hear about Sky day

and night. I talk to people every day about Sky. I cry with people I meet at least once a week.”

Sky, then age 2, was reported missing by his mother, Julia Biryukova, on Nov. 6, 2011 in Bellevue after reporting she ran out of gas and left Sky in the vehicle while walking to find gas. When Biryukova, who lived in

Redmond, returned, Sky was missing. An intensive search took place, but Sky was not located.

The Bellevue Police Department (BPD) investigation is still open and active and the effort on this case has never stopped.

A child sex abuse claim, which involved a Kirkland church, has been settled. A trial was scheduled to begin against the Seattle Archdiocese next Monday but the parish district settled for $635,000 last Thursday.

Former youth minister Jim Funnell at St. John Vianney Church in Kirkland allegedly sexually abused the plaintiff, identified by his initials D.E., in the mid1980s for more than one year. It is said others were abused as well.

D.E. was living in Kirkland at the time of the abuse but now resides in Bothell.

Funnell was hired, the plaintiff claims, during the time when former Seattle Archbishop Raymond Haunthausen and other Catholic bishops were collaborating on how to address the emerging sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic church.

However, the Archdiocese failed to adequately warn its employees and timely adopt the policies regarding child sex abuse, and Funnell slipped through the cracks because church officials failed to conduct a proper background check, said the victim.

“At the very time the [ more ABUSE page 3 ]

been hard for family members to cope with the disappearance, it is not uncommon for new information to come to light even after a year or more.

Solomon noted that he commends the police for

doing all they can to find Sky and keep the case in the public eye.

“It’s a very hard case.

There’s not too much evidence to find Sky,” said Solomon, a Kirkland resident.

Next week, Solomon will be among a group of

people visiting the capitol building in Olympia to meet with legislators and discuss whether police officers everywhere should receive extensive training to help find missing children.

Solomon said that he has faith in the police and in God that Sky will be found.

“God is the only one who can make some light in this dark situation,” he said.

People have supported Solomon in person and by writing messages on the Bring Sky Metalwala Home Facebook page.

“Solomon, I know this has been the most difficult year you have ever had to go through.

We want you to know that you are not alone, you and Sky are always in our thoughts and prayers,” reads one entry.

The victim was walking home from a Metro bus stop when she was assaulted outside of her residence and forced inside by the suspect.

The suspect is described as a dark-skinned black male, 5 foot 7 to 5 foot 9 inches tall with a medium build in his early 20s with a “long skinny face.” The victim also described that the suspect may have been wearing tan or brown Dockers pants along with a waist length brown coat.

The victim very clearly recalled that the suspect wore a golf/newsboy style cap that she described as dark brown, smooth with no seams and possibly made of leather.

The victim described the suspect as “good looking” rather than scary, with

Regarding a recent story involving Kirkland resident William Ballantine, who was sentenced for tax evasion, the National Philanthropic Trust (NPT) was a victim of Ballentine’s actions and was in no way complicit in those activities. The organization cooperated fully with the IRS throughout their investigations of this serious matter.

In addition, NPT facilitated a recent grant to the Kirkland Arts Center (KAC) at the recommendation of a Ballantine family member, through a pre-existing and separate donor-advised fund.

In light of the previous grants to local organizations in Kirkland and the subsequent problems that ensued, the $125,000 grant to the KAC is subject to “expenditure responsibility.”

NPT requested this extra measure of oversight, which requires the grant recipient account for every grant dollar spent, to ensure proper usage of the funds.

As a result, about 20 outraged residents moved to Lake Washington United Methodist Church in Kirkland to form a new camp - Camp Unity Eastside.

The following month, the archdiocese held its first training in response to the June 1985 meeting of bishops, but the plaintiff alleged the pastor and the archdiocese still did nothing to investigate Funnell.

“The archdiocese deeply regrets any harm to the victim by this lay youth minister,” said Greg Magnoni, the spokesman for the Seattle

Archdiocese. “Although the abuse occurred more than 25 years ago, we recognize the pain it caused the victim and hope it will help bring healing. That is why we work toward fair settlements in such cases.”

Funnell was later charged with multiple counts of child abuse and pled guilty to one of the charges.

“If the camp needs the (sexual-predator checks) we’ll be prepared to do that,” said Dahlman-Oeth. “I’m not sure why SHARE rejected or disagreed with that … It seems counterintuitive to say no, they can’t do that.

A resident at TC4 informed the Reporter that McKay-Erskine had only been there for a short while but during his time there, he and his girlfriend were “all around nice people.”

EDITORIAL

SHARE should practice its democratic principles

M

any Tent City 4 homeless residents at St. John Mary Vianney Catholic Church spoke loud and clear when they packed up their tents and sleeping bags and moved to Lake Washington United Methodist Church last Thursday.

The move was over a disagreement between the residents and SHARE/WHEEL, the group that operates the camp.

SHARE/WHEEL is a self-organized, democratic organization of homeless and formerly homeless individuals. For 22 years the group has worked to eradicate homelessness, educate the community, and empower homeless people.

Yet, many Tent City residents don’t feel empowered.

They feel voiceless.

When an alleged sexual predator was recently arrested there, the residents and church’s pastor decided to require weekly sex offender background checks.

However, SHARE/WHEEL stomped its feet, threatened to shut down the camp and chastised several residents for making the decision without the group’s approval.

Resident Mark Little says if residents agreed to the background checks, then SHARE should support that decision. He said it’s for the greater good of the community and if SHARE doesn’t think so, he “will not be a part of an institution that puts people in jeopardy like that.”

Resident James Gagne told the Reporter that SHARE aims to “exploit the homeless for their political agenda.”

Sandra Hunt, who has served as the camp’s supply coordinator since 2004, says “It’s a real power thing going on here.” She said SHARE and its consultant, Scott Morrow, is trying to “knuckle these people under …

These people have the right to speak for themselves, but they are told not to speak to anyone.”

In fact, SHARE outlines democratic philosophies, but some of its practices have traditionally been undemocratic. Morrow noted on the group’s website, for

example, that when a church host asks to meet with a Tent City leader, the leader should respond: “I’m sorry, I can’t discuss that. Call Scott, please.”

The group also touts right-to-privacy and says the decision for the weekly background checks is grounds for discrimination.

Yes, everyone has the right to privacy, to some degree.

But in this case that right infringes on other human rights and SHARE shouldn’t have the final say-so in which right is more important.

SHARE should respect the community’s human rights to safety and protection.

If a sex predator lurks amongst the community, people have the right to know. That’s why such predators are required to register in the first place, so others in the community are aware of where they live.

The group says imposing random sex offender checks on individuals because they live in a homeless encampment

is “based on fear.” But it is not homeless individuals who people fear, it is sex offenders themselves - homeless or not.

Tent City residents should also be afforded the right of free speech and SHARE officials should listen to them.

Should the residents have included SHARE in its decision to require the weekly background checks? Yes, although the group probably would have said no, based on its historical stance on the issue.

But the bigger question is why hasn’t SHARE asked Tent City residents, the church community and the community at large on whether weekly sex offender checks should be required? The group still has the matter to consider for the duration of Tent City’s stay at the church and has yet to invite the community to the decision-making table.

The decision should involve a public process that includes all parties. It’s the right thing to do. It’s the democratic thing to do.

Help restore the historic ferry clock A Kirkland citizen committee and the Kirkland Heritage Society are working with the city to restore our historic ferry clock to its original design. We hope to have the clock project finished by the end of the year so we need your help NOW to make that happen.

The clock-at the corner of Kirkland Avenue and Lake Street was given to the people of Kirkland in 1935 by the Lake Washington Ferries’ Capt. John Anderson. The clock has suffered the ravages of time over the past 77 years and we need to raise $9,000 to professionally restore it to its original condition. When completed it will boast its original light globes, illuminated ferry arrow and the original ferry schedule that were removed over the years.

So far we have collected $6,500 toward our goal. Contributions have ranged from $5-$500. The clock itself is currently undergoing its restoration. The clock pole has a

big “fund raising thermometer” on it right now, so you can track the progress.

If all of us could donate to the project we could reach our goal in no time. We would greatly appreciate your support in preserving this important piece of Kirkland history.

There will be a public ceremony dedicating the new clock when it is completed.

To donate by credit card please visit our website: www.kirklandheritage.org or mail a check to: KHS-ferry clock, 203 Market St., Kirkland, WA 98033. Donations are tax deductible and eligible for matching funds. Thank you very much.

Council to stand on the sidewalk at 102nd Court N.E. off N.E. 116th Street, between 5:30 a.m. to approximately 8:30 a.m. on any weekday mornings and tell the folks who live on that residential street that the noise level - which at times exceeds 84 decibels - is okay.

According to the city ordinances, the acceptable noise level for a residential street between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. is 50 decibels. From 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. the acceptable level is 60 decibels. N.E. 116th Street is a residential street - there are businesses at the top of the street, but 99.9 percent of the street is residential.

According to online research regarding the harmful effects of constant exposure to noise levels above the recommended safe levels, this can cause health problems, including noise sensitivity resulting in hearing loss and/or psychological problems, and even heart problems.

Some residential properties have wooden fences that may reduce the noise to some level, but Westchase Townhomes, Spring Tree and several other properties have no protec- [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

The holiday pet food drive runs through Friday, Dec. 31.

All donations will be distributed to those in need through several area food banks.

Now celebrating 22 years, HPAC is one of the largest non-profit, no-kill animal adoption centers in Western Washington. The mission – to give homeless animals a second chance though rescue, shelter and adoption programs.

The center is celebrating record adoptions in 2012 with over 1400 animals placed in their forever homes. With 10 full-time and 9 part-time staff, HPAC relies on their over 350 volunteers to make the center successful.

clarified the corporate role of what they can and cannot do. I believe it also pertains to unions. At least recent rulings have forced unions to identify how much of their dues go for political purposes. I believe members now have the option of not contributing their money for political purposes as part of their membership dues.

The reason for the survey and how the questions are worded do not explain the background for the questions. They need to be identified. If not, then the survey is nothing more than unsubstantiated political poppycock designed to sway voters.

5 activities for people with memory loss Music is stored on a side of the brain that never goes away but it is also often linked to specific memories.

Classical music can also be very soothing when someone is having a difficult time.

2. Inter-generational activities - Usually children (ages 6-10) can be a great motivation to older adults with dementia. You can engage children on reading to the person, playing a card game or just talking about things.

3. Religion - Many seniors grew up and raised their kids going to church. If this activSandra Cook

ngaging and retaining the attention of someone suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s can be a challenging task for caregivers at home. One of the main tips experts offer is to create a standard routine to follow on a daily basis.

Below are some ideas that have proven to be beneficial for people with Alzheimer’s in a community setting and may be helpful at home: 1. Music therapy - Play music, sing along with your loved one, play music videos.

ity is no longer accessible, you can read bible stories to the senior or still sing some church songs that he/she may remember.

4. Aromatherapy - Stimulating senses is very important, drinking chamomile tea, spraying a little lavender mist on their pillow, can be relaxing and help someone sleep better. Rub lotion, put warm soft socks on their feet, a warm towel around their neck, think spa-like activities.

5. Painting - Art making can help them express themselves as well as entertain for a bit. Crafts stores like Michael’s have now pre-traced canvas that seniors and

children together can color.

During a recent seminar held at Aegis Lodge in Kirkland and imparted by dementia expert David Troxel, he reminded us to keep the following in mind: • Encourage, not force someone to participate in

activities • Activities must be initiated by others • Activities should stimulate all five senses • Activities should be of an adult nature and preserve their dignity • Activities you think will never work on your loved one sometimes do • Doing something is better than doing nothing

Most communities with memory care offer short term, respite stays and day stay. If doing these activities are difficult for you at home, a community can help you engage your loved one and give them great quality of life.

some additional attention, understanding and preparation – you want to provide a good experience while utilizing their valuable talents. By this time in their lives, seniors have learned good judgment, have a sense of the value of their time, and increasingly want to make a difference. When you line up the senior’s passion and willingness with the needed thrust, you have a great team. Seniors are dependable, have a sense of job purpose and task completion often missing in the younger ranks. The additional compassion that comes from seasoned aging is nothing but a positive.

was approached the other day about a specific category of volunteering - seniors! What difference does it make, I originally thought, but with further discussions the following points and concerns surfaced.

Seniors often bring a wealth of experience, generally have extra time to spare, have significantly greater “life-experience,” quite often have substantial connections and can commonly provide service to all ages.

Not a bad resume! On the other hand, seniors often can be “set in their ways,” may have physical limitations greater than younger volunteers, may not have the latest technology talent, and may have some intolerance for involvement in the youth market.

Valid concerns.

LWSD named to AP District Honor Roll Lake Washington School District (LWSD) was named by the College Board to its 3rd Annual AP District Honor Roll for simultaneously increasing access to Advanced Placement coursework while maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP exams.

Achieving both of these goals indicates that the district is successfully increasing access to these rigorous courses while ensuring that students succeed. More than 90 percent of colleges and universities across the U.S. offer college credit, advanced placement or both for a score of three or higher on an AP Exam, which can potentially save students and their families thousands of dollars in college tuition.

A total of 539 school districts across 44 of 50 states in the U. S. and six Canadian provinces achieved honor roll status. Eighteen districts in the state of Washington achieved this honor.

“As a district, we believe in preparing all students for college level work,” noted Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent. “Our high schools have made a concerted effort to encourage students to take on the challenge of AP coursework in high school as part of that preparation.”

The number of AP tests taken by LWSD students increased from 2,559 in 2010 to 2,730 in 2011 to 2,825 in 2012. At the same time, the rate of students achieving a score of 3 or higher remained about the

Ruth Hamby turns 106

Ruth Hamby recently celebrated her 106th birthday with friends and family at Kirkland Emeritus. She was serenaded by the Redmond Senior Choir, visited

by Trusty, the miniature pony, and received a phone call from the mayor of her hometown of Earlington, KY where Oct. 20 is officially designated as Ruth Hamby Day. Hamby was born on Oct. 20, 1906 in the little town of Earlington. She graduated from Earlington High School and was a member of the high school girls’ basketball team despite her short stature! Hamby married Earl Hamby, also from Earlington, in 1927, and together they bought their first house for $200.

Hamby her husband

moved to Vancouver, Wash. in 1941, following Earl’s oldest brother who got him a job at the Kaiser shipyards. Earl continued working for Kaiser during WWII, and Hamby helped christen one of the naval war ships that was built there. In 1946, when she was 40 years old, her only son, Jack, was born. In 1952, she began working for the Vancouver School District and enjoyed a 20year career there before her retirement in 1972.

Throughout her life, Hamby has been an enthusiastic participant in many bridge groups and women’s organizations.

Public comment wanted on Mayor, Council salaries The City of Kirkland Salary Commission will hold a meeting at 7 p.m. Nov. 29 in the City Hall Council Chamber to receive public input and discuss possible adjustments to the salaries of the Mayor and Council members.

The current monthly salary for the mayor is $1,352 and the current monthly salary for council members is $1,063. In addition, the mayor and council members receive life insurance, and in lieu of receiving medical or other additional benefits, the mayor and council members are paid an allowance of $300 per month.

Public comment may be given at the meeting or may be submitted in writing to: Salary Commission c/o City Attorney’s Office at 123 Fifth Avenue, Kirkland, WA 98033 or email rjenkinson@kirklandwa. gov prior to 5 p.m. on Nov. 29.

If the Salary Commission elects to change the salaries of the mayor and council members, it files the salary adjustment with

Windermere Foundation grants $42,500 to KITH The Windermere Foundation, recognized regionally for its corporate philanthropy, set a six-year record as Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing’s largest-single private donor this month with a grant of $42,500.

Windermere Foundation representative Pat Reimer presented the check to KITH’s Executive Director Jennifer Barron at KITH’s office on State Street in Kirkland. The

funds will support KITH’s 2013 life-changing housing and case management programs, which help homeless families on the Eastside to move towards self-sufficiency.

“The Windermere Foundation’s support allows KITH to support housing costs as the average rent paid by families living in KITH housing is $120, which does not fully support operation and maintenance of the housing program,” said Barron. “Funds also provide case managers who work one-to-one with families as they set goals that will assist the family in gaining stability and independence. Windermere Foundation is invaluable in our community and we are deeply grateful for their support.”

In addition to housing and case management for homeless families, KITH also offers food support to homeless and low-income community members at its weekly volunteerrun Community Supper program.

Windermere’s Kirkland

office hosts the Community Supper several times each year, and offices in Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond have helped homeless families with holiday needs and gifts through KITH’s Holiday Adopt-a-Family program.

Ten Windermere offices in the greater Seattle area team up every year for fund raising and giving.

This year they exceeded everyone’s expectations, giving $140,000 to organizations like KITH, focusing on programs that benefit low-income and homeless families in their local communities.

If you have purchased or sold your home through Windermere, you are a part of the Windermere Foundation. Each of Windermere’s offices raises funds through transaction donations, fund-raising efforts, and personal contributions.

The funds they raise go back to their communities, to benefit local nonprofit organizations and programs that support low-income and homeless families.

Inclusion on the third annual AP District Honor Roll is based on the examination of three years of AP data, from 2010 to 2012 for the following criteria: Districts must: 1) Increase participation/access to AP by at least 4 percent in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts and at least 11 percent in small districts; 2) Ensure that the percentage of African American, Hispanic/Latino, and American Indian/Alaska Native students taking AP Exams did not decrease by more than 5 percent for large and medium districts or by more than 10 percent for small districts; 3) Improve performance levels when comparing the percentage of students in 2012 scoring a 3 or higher to those in 2010, unless the district has already attained a performance level in which more than 70 percent of the AP students are scoring a 3 or higher.
