Klassen nabs family’s second state title

Richards returns home after 7 months in hospital following heart transplant SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

When Jason Richards received a new heart in November 2012, it was supposed to give him a new lease on life.

But after being home for only a few weeks, the 12-year-old Redmond resident faced further medical compilations that put him in the hospital for about seven months.

This was all following his initial three-month, postoperation stay — during which he was basically in quarantine and on various steroids and anti-rejection drugs to make sure his body accepted his new heart, his mother Janet Richards said.

Jason was born with Holt-Oram syndrome, which affects bones in the arms and hands. In addition, it may cause heart problems, and in Jason,

Max won at state in 2009 and now Eric steps atop the podium with a championship of his own ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

As Eric Klassen stood on the board prior to the final dive of his high school career, he waited for a few moments before springing into action.

A highlight reel of sorts spun through his mind as the water in front of him awaited his arrival during last Saturday’s 4A state finals at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. It wasn’t an emotional moment, “It was definitely more of a reflection, remembering all four years as they all came flooding back,” the Redmond High senior said.

After Klassen completed his dive, he emerged from the pool as a state champion with a score of 468.75, a 78-point lead over Bastian Weyn of Gig Harbor. Eric is the second Klassen

to win the state 1-meter diving competition as he followed in the footsteps of his brother, Max, who won the title in 2009. Another Klassen, Phillip, took third twice at state.

“This year, I really think (the key) was all the time I spent getting help from my coach and my brothers. I worked hard and it paid off. I was happy that I’d done my best and finally reached the top,” said Eric, who placed second last season.

Both Max and Phillip were at state last Saturday to witness the “Klassen Dynasty,” as diving coach Skip Hulet calls it, end its Mustang reign with a victory.

Hulet said that Eric’s takeoffs from the board were solid and everything went according to plan from there.

Eric and his 15 finals participants tackled a total of 11 dives during the two-day state competition.

“He hit every one of his dives well and he really rose to the occasion,” said Hulet, adding that Eric was a model of maturity and confidence this season. “He knows when he’s got something in his grasp. He’s calm and poised and doesn’t let the butterflies get in the way.”

Eric’s state score is a school record and is eighth all time at the class 4A Washington state level, Hulet said.

Dad Matt Klassen said Eric’s personal goals at state were to beat brother Max’s first-place score (452.90) and to top last year’s best score — 463.50 — provided by Skyline High’s Max Levy. Done and done.

“It’s a very difficult sport to be very consistent in,” Matt said, noting that

this manifested in a number of heart defects, which he has had his whole life.

According to earlier reports, he went through multiple procedures before he was 4 and went into cardiac arrest when he was 10. He received a heart transplant on Nov. 28, 2012 when he was 11.

Jason said the transplant helped him a bit as he was able to be more active and was even able to chase one of his sisters around the house.

“I felt better,” he said about his condition after his surgery.

A VICIOUS CYCLE

Jason’s latest stay at Seattle Children’s Hospital came after he contracted Legionnaires’ disease, an extreme case of pneumonia that wreaked havoc on his body. [ more JASON page 6 ]

School levies pass, bond fails — LWSD superintendent eyes the future The Lake Washington School District’s two levy measures passed at around 65 percent and the $755 million bond measure fell just 2 percent short from passing (King County Elections certified the results on Tuesday).

Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce issued the following message to the community: Dr. Traci Pierce

?

Question of the week:

www.redmond-reporter.com

Dear LWSD Community, As you know, election night returns for both the EP&O Levy and Capital Tech Levy were strong, and they climbed to victory. Both measures passed at around 65 percent and we needed just 50-percent approval to pass. This is awesome news and we will begin planning for the safety, facility and technology support and projects that these funds will allow us to accomplish!

Unfortunately, the bond measure didn’t pass. It stood at 58 percent and we needed 60-percent approval to pass. So, what’s next?

First, on behalf of the entire Lake Washington School District, we wish to convey gratitude to our entire community. Staff, teachers, parents and PTSA members, the Lake Washington Citizens Levy Committee, our District Leadership Team and our board, all worked hard on the informational and/or promotional campaigns. Our community came out, voted and showed their support.

We are thankful for the support of our community.

The levies passed overwhelmingly. The bond just barely missed. The irony is that the majority of our voters wanted the bond measure to pass! Frustratingly, the 60-percent rule means that even though the majority of voters voted YES, the minority of NO voters

determine the outcome for the majority. We, along with other districts and together with the Washington State School Directors Association (WSSDA) and the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA) are actively working at the legislative level to try to get this changed so bonds can pass with 50-percent approval, just like levies. We will also work to identify why a minority of people did not support the bond, as it will help to inform our next steps.

Speaking of next steps, I believe it is important that we act quickly to determine options and take next steps.

As a district, we know that our needs have not changed: • Enrollment continues to grow. We are dealing with real overcrowding and we need classrooms and new schools to accommodate our growing enrollment.

• Our aging schools still need to be modernized.

Since 1998, we have modernized 22 of our schools and we need to continue on the path to ensure that ALL of our students attend school in safe, up-to-date and

modern facilities.

I will be working with the board to discuss options and to determine next steps and I anticipate that we will have a concrete plan of action to share by early March.

Thank you all for your ongoing support of our district, our staff and our students.

(According to Kathryn Reith, school district communications director, at last Monday’s work session, the school board discussed requesting that another bond measure be included on the ballot in the April 22 special election. That subject will be on the board’s agenda at this Monday’s meeting at 7 p.m. at the L.E. Scarr Resource Center, located at 16250 N.E. 74th St. in Redmond. The potential bond measure will most likely focus on Pierce’s comments at the end of her letter. If the board chooses to go ahead with another bond, the filing deadline is March 7. If the board doesn’t file for the April election, it can request that a bond be put on a ballot in either August’s primary election or November’s general election.)

Censorship at town hall meeting in Redmond The purpose of a town hall meeting is to provide an open forum where people can ask questions about the issues they are concerned about. The minimum wage is a topic being discussed in the national media. President Obama has raised the minimum wage paid to the employees of federal contractors to $10.10. Both Gov. Inslee and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray have endorsed raising the minimum wage. A bill to increase the minimum wage to $12 was introduced in the state legislature in the current session by State Rep. Jessyn Farrell.

At the 48th Legislative District town hall meeting on Feb. 22 at Redmond City Hall, I gave the staff members a card asking the legislators how they were going to vote on the minimum wage bill and asking them to describe their position on the minimum wage. It is completely

appropriate to expect the legislators to discuss this topic in a public forum, given the attention given to the topic nationally.

The moderator of the forum was retired former State Rep. Deborah Eddy. The moderator failed to bring the question of the minimum wage, as well as other questions relevant to labor and poverty, to the floor.

She continually claimed that there was not enough time for all topics, but the choice of questions that were accorded time reflected the moderator’s perception of what was important.

It is unfortunate that a Road Kill Caucus Democrat who chaired a Republican State Senate campaign in 2012 consciously prevented the minimum wage from receiving consideration on the floor.

It is important for the public to know this. Reports on the town hall meeting imply that the questions represent the spectrum of what people are interested in. But when there is a suppression of topics con-

cerning the minimum wage (and other topics, such as the funding of homeless shelters), such censorship distorts the perception of what the citizens are interested in.

I am writing this letter because it important for the public to know that the minimum wage was a topic asked about at the forum.

I encourage citizens concerned about this issue to call or write the state legislators and ask them to make public their opinions on the issue generally and on the current bill in particular.

I hope that in future town halls they will have a moderator who does not censor progressive questions. I hope that there will be no more anti-labor maneuvers at town hall meetings and that the forums will address whatever is on our minds.

Our debt in perspective Put Russell Wilson’s $500,000

salary on every seat on every professional football stadium and you might visualize the enormity of just the last $1.1 trillion federal spending bill. And that is for only through September.

Our $17 trillion national debt would pile $8.55 million on every seat of every football stadium in the nation.

The U.S. government has amassed $127.5 trillion in unfunded liabilities — Medicare, Medicare Prescription Drug Program, Social Security, military and civil service pensions that we haven’t budgeted for.

We couldn’t do that in our personal lives.

The spirit of The 12th Man, turned to what is happening to our country, would awaken an interest in getting our country back from China and our other debtors. If we don’t roar like the 12th Man, in the end, it is our fault because we allow the horrible borrowing to go on.

WSDOT Secretary Peterson outlines transportation issues Bellevue Reporter

Washington Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson says even if the state Legislature approves a transportation package this session, there won’t be enough money to go around and a “Plan B” needs to be crafted to deal with the worst cases of maintenance and preservation needs to ensure public safety.

Peterson met with Reporter staff recently to discuss her reform package presented to the Legislature earlier this year, as well as the status and issues revolving around Puget Sound transportation projects and funding for failing systems statewide.

REFORMS

Acknowledging a design error that has caused cost overruns of more than $170 million for the State Route 520 bridge replacement project, Peterson said one reform she’s pushing the Legislature to fund this year would address Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT’s) methodology for contracting for construction projects.

Washington State Department of Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson speaks to Reporter staff recently in Bellevue. CRAIG GROSHART, Bellevue Reporter “We have a lot of control, but that means if there is a design error, such as 520 pontoons, then that error comes back to us,” said Peterson. “That originally had been, it was supposed to be design-build and it ended up being design-bid-build.”

Peterson also wants funding to create a quality assurance manager posi-

tion. While all projects are staffed for quality assurance, she said a manager would oversee all of them and report directly to her.

She is also exploring options for including contractors in the design process.

The transportation secretary defended her decision not to sanction Seattle Tunnel Partners — charged

with drilling the downtown Seattle tunnel project — based on the results of a Federal Highway Administration investigation that determined the contractor committed a civil rights violation by not subcontracting a portion of work under the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program.

The first step would have been withholding payment, she said, which would only further hurt subcontractors attached to the project.

Ensuring compliance with the DBE program would also be a responsibility of a proposed quality assurance manager position.

After 10 years of research data collection, Peterson also said WSDOT can go leaner in its project design goals. Projects are currently over-designed by 20 percent to ensure adequate safety measures, but now there is a better understanding of simpler and cheaper ways to enhance transportation goals, she said, referring to an increased focus on roundabouts rather than traffic signals at intersections.

WSDOT expects a 52-percent budget decrease over the next four years. Even if a transportation package passes, most of the revenue is already bonded for capital projects and won’t cover the cost for maintaining and preserving Washington’s deteriorating infrastructure.

A 10-cent increase per gallon to the gas tax also won’t fully fund all capital improvements for transportation, said Peterson, as only 8 cents per gallon captured from the tax currently goes back for state operations, which also relies heavily on federal funding. The Road User Fee Task Force is still looking at long-discussed vehicle miles traveled tax, she said, and requires a pilot project for further study.

The Senate proposed Feb. 13 a $12.3 billion transportation revenue package with an 11 1/2-cent gas tax increase, but currently does not have enough votes within its own caucus to move forward this session.

is still being looked at as the most likely solution to a more than $1 billion funding gap. Without a revenue package, the SR 520 design office is slated to close in June, she said. If the Legislature fails to approve a package, it likely wouldn’t convene again unless the governor called a special session. Peterson said she doesn’t think that’s likely to happen.

MAINTAINING THE SYSTEM

Peterson said her department will need to prioritize what projects get addressed through its maintenance and preservation budget, including finding funding to repair or replace 180 culverts on recreational land by 2017 as ordered under the “culvert case.”

The federal ruling was made more than a decade after Washington tribes sought an injunction, claiming the poorly constructed culverts were blocking migrating salmon.

The state must repair or replace 817 culverts by 2030. Peterson said 140 of those culverts exist in King County alone. She said about 140 need to be fixed by 2017. The total cost is estimated at $2.5 billion. The [ more WSDOT page 6 ]

The 200 and 400 free relays both took 15th place with marks of 1:32.99 and 3:26.79, respectively. The 200 MR didn’t qualify for the second day of competition.

During Friday’s prelims, Matt said there was some drama among the Klassens when Eric had two more dives to go following his anchor lap in the 400 free relay.

“We thought, ‘Was that really worth it to swim that relay?’” Matt said.

Eric took a 15-minute break, changed his suit, stretched and was set to dive.

“He did two of his best dives after that,” Matt added.

“We were really happy with that.”

has received dismal safety rating on both northbound and southbound.

“It’s not just a safety issue,” she said. “If it gets to the point where we need to load-limit it, that’s two ports without access.”

Eric is as steady as they come.

Eric, who has been diving for the last nine years, said that getting mentally focused before each meet is what ultimately took him to the top of the podium this season.

“That’s good to apply to anything, especially schoolwork. One thing at a time — get it done,” Eric said.

In swimming, Klassen competed in the 200-yard medley relay, 200-yard freestyle relay and the 400yard freestyle relay along with Xavier Graham (all three), Samuel Jonsson (all three), Ryan Harper, Ben Choe and Jack Markling.

Graham also swam in the 100-yard breaststroke and

“It damaged his lungs severely,” Janet said.

She added that they are still not sure where or how Jason contracted the airborne and waterborne disease as he was one of only two people in the Pacific Northwest to have had Legionnaires’ at the time.

“It’s very rare,” Janet said.

While in the hospital, Jason was on a bilevel positive airway pressure machine — or a BiPAP — that helped him breathe since one of his lungs kept collapsing.

In addition, Janet said doctors discovered other health issues: Her son had developed diabetes from one of his antirejection medications and had to go on insulin and his heart’s right ventricle began failing.

“Which is troublesome because it’s his new heart,” she said.

Jason also contracted a virus that causes the common cold.

“It just became this vicious cycle,” Janet said about all of the medical issues that kept cropping up. “It’s like winning the lottery in reverse.”

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

While all of this was happening, the owner of the Education Hill house the Richards were renting wanted to sell the house

and they had to find a new place to live. The family was able to find and buy a house in the same area that kept the children — Jason has one older and one younger sister — in the same neighborhood schools.

Janet said this was thanks to the receptionist at Horace Mann Elementary School, who told them about the house when she had heard the owner was selling. The Richards were grateful because with Janet and her husband Colin Richards often splitting time between the hospital, work and home, school and church were the only two constants in their daughters’ lives. Janet said they didn’t want their children to have to deal with a new school on top of everything else.

“We are literally the last house on the street that (they) could stay at the (same schools),” she said.

The Richards received additional help from the community, especially from their church, the Redmond Assembly of God, whose members provided meals for them throughout Jason’s hospital stay and even held a prayer service for Jason at Children’s.

Jason also had friends from school visit him during his stay. One friend actually visited on a weekly basis and the two played video games

together — one of Jason’s favorite activities.

FAMILY REUNIONS

Although he is no stranger to the hospital — to the point that staff will go out of their way to set up a video game consul in his room with some of his favorite games — Jason is blunt about his stay.

“There are no good parts,” he said, adding that spending so much time there was scary at times.

Jason, who turns 13 on Monday, came home in November and everyone is happy. “Welcome home” signs and drawings are posted on the Richards’ front door as well as Jason’s bedroom door.

“It’s a big relief,” Colin said. “We’re overjoyed that he’s home.”

Colin added that while Jason is still on an oxygen machine, having the whole family together under one roof has removed at least one stress factor.

Jason is also happy to be home, saying “seeing (his) family” has been the best part. Through his fears and difficulties at the hospital, he said there is one thing that helped him deal with everything.

“It was God that got me through…in every way,” Jason said.

In addition to bringing Jason home, the Richards also received contact from Jason’s donor’s fam-

ily about a month ago through the transplant team.

Janet said they told the team — which acts as the middleman between the families — that they were open to meeting with the donor family if the other family was open, as well.

She said they received a written letter that was signed by everyone in the donor’s family and the Richards are in the process of writing their response. Janet said they are going to start with a written contact at first before considering a face-to-face meeting due to the difficult situation of having one child die to save another.

“It’s just a lot of things to think about,” Janet said. “We want to share him with that family because he has their child’s heart.”

BIG BERTHA

Washington taxpayers are off the hook for costs associated with the breakdown of Bertha, the tunnel digging machine meant to be boring a road replacement for the Alaskan Way Viaduct, said Peterson. Bertha has been stalled since striking a pipe on Dec. 3. WSDOT claims contractor Seattle Tunnel Partners was made aware of the pipe and should have removed it beforehand.

The pipe caused overheating issues for Bertha that damaged several seals.

Hitachi-Zosen, Bertha’s Japanese builder, still owns the machine, said Peterson, meaning costs for repairs will fall on the manufacturer. A plan for repairs was expected to be presented by the end of the month.

case is currently being appealed, and Peterson said there is the potential for the cost to have a significant impact on the rest of WSDOT’s maintenance and preservation budget.

“It’s the McCleary (case) of transportation,” said Peterson, referencing a Washington education funding mandate.

Washington will also continue dealing with aging bridges, Peterson said, and those projects will also be prioritized based on how closely some spans are coming to failing. The Legislature failed to approve a package last summer to cover its share of the Columbia River Crossing, a $2.8 billion bridge and freeway project, which has raised the ire of southwest Washington lawmakers and some Oregon legislators.

A study commissioned

by Oregon lawmakers states the bridge is sturdy enough to last several more years, however, Peterson said the Interstate 5 bridge connecting Portland to Vancouver

Flopsy is a curious and friendly girl who gets along great with people. She’s not fond of other dogs, and would do best as the only dog in her new home.

Flopsy is good on a leash and loves to go for walks, and also knows how to sit on command.

She is a bit of an escape artist and tries to get out of her kennel as soon as it’s open, so you will need to be careful when opening doors at home. Although very friendly with people, due to her size and playfulness, Flopsy would do best in a home with kids 8 years and older as she may accidentally knock over smaller children.

McGruder earns Environmentalist of the Year award Redmond’s Tim McGruder was recently honored as the Eastside Audubon Society’s 2013 Environmentalist of the Year for his many years of activism on issues ranging from local land use to global population growth.

A residential remodeling contractor, McGruder has been directly responsible for many of the most visible improvements enjoyed by the public on the Audubon BirdLoop interpretive trail at Marymoor Park.

Through a combination of hands-on work and advocacy during nearly 30 years, he has exemplified the Audubon chapter’s commitment to enhancing bird and wildlife habitat and taking action in support

for strengthening the state’s Growth Management Act to protect agricultural lands in the Sammamish River Valley.

As his concerns broadened to include population growth impacts on natural resources, McGruder traveled to Washington, D.C. in 2000 to advocate for legislation that would help fund international family planning programs.

He went to Washington again in 2005 on Eastside Audubon’s behalf to urge stronger restrictions on oceangoing vessels that were bringing invasive nonnative flora and fauna in their ballast waters to west coast harbors. His visit raised awareness of a formidable new threat

that will grow worse with a changing climate and warmer marine waters.

Among McGruder’s recent activist efforts have been the campaigns to mitigate the impact of power boats on wildlife in Juanita Bay in Kirkland and to save historic trees at the old Group Health site in Redmond.

In the latter case, when development prevailed, he organized community work days to salvage native plants and reinstall them at Marymoor Park.

Since 2006, when Eastside Audubon entered into a partnership with King County Parks to improve habitat for birds at Marymoor, McGruder has overseen and carried out many projects on the Audubon BirdLoop. He orches-

Also at Marymoor, he has built swallow boxes, a trailside bench, kiosks and interpretive signs to enhance the experience of park visitors.

He continues to build out signage, plan for public facilities, and co-lead habitat restoration work parties staffed on the first Saturday of every month by Eastside Audubon volunteers and on community service days by people from companies such as Amazon, Comcast and Microsoft.

Other schools will look to the seven for guidance on how to successfully teach STEM.” STEM Lighthouse schools originated in 2010 with the Legislature’s passage of House Bill 2621.

Seattle Optometrist Helps LEGALLY BLIND to See!

Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading.

A Seattle optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions.

“Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic.

“Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’”

SENIOR LIVING

It is this repeated awakening that can do long-term damage. Deep sleep is the most restorative phase when both body and mind can heal from their daily wear and tear. If it is interrupted or cut short too many times, these necessary healing processes are prevented from taking place. On the outside, you may just feel groggy and tired in the morning, but on the inside much of the repair work meant to keep you healthy remains undone.

There can be a number of causes for sleep disruption. Besides agerelated changes of sleep patterns, you may be dealing with the effects of late-night consumption of food, alcohol or caffeine, interference from medications, chronic disease like high blood pressure and heart disease, sleep apnea, need for frequent urination, and others.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the health consequences from sleep-related disorders are far from benign.

Studies have shown associations between disturbed or insufficient sleep and unhealthy weight gain and other diet-related ills. For older adults, the results can be even more dire.

Researchers have found that frequent sleep disrup-

n our busy lives, getting enough rest can be challenging at any age. But for older people it becomes even more difficult, perhaps not so much because of stressrelated sleep deprivation but because of changing sleep patterns.

As we age, we not only need less sleep, we also don’t sleep as deeply and wake up more often during the night.

While these changes are not always cause for concern, they can become problematic if they lead to persistent sleep disorders with potentially serious health effects.

As younger adults, we typically spend much of our sleep time in a state called “deep sleep.” Closer to the morning hours, we enter a different phase named “REM” (rapid eye movement), a lighter form of sleep where the eyes move rapidly behind closed lids.

Usually, there are several back-and-forth switches between deep sleep and REM periods throughout the night, but the latter gradually dominates and let us eventually wake up.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

HCL Technologies looking for talent

HCL Technologies is looking to social media to help with recruiting.

The $5 billion global IT services provider, which has a location in Redmond, recently launched the first-ever Twitter recruitment campaign called #COOLESTINTERVIEWEVER to find five qualified individuals, one of whom will work on a one-year project with the company.

HCL is based in India, but this is a global campaign and selected candidates will work from the nearest HCL office in his/her own country.

One individual will be selected for the positions of Ideapreneurship Evangelist, Big Data Guru, Hackerin-Chief, Digital Voyager and Womenspiration, and one person will be chosen as the overall winner.

In addition to working with HCL, the winner will receive a prize of $75,000 and access to an HCL mentor in their particular field. In concert with HCL’s employee first, customer second management philosophy, this initiative is one of the company’s many approaches to finding new talent.

The students selected are STEM High School’s Hana Keller, Clark Schaefer and Pavitra Siva and Eastlake High School’s Rahul Singal.

The WAS program is a free, competitive, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education program for the state’s high school juniors.

Its primary goal is to excite and prepare students to pursue careers pathways in STEM fields using a distance-learning curriculum developed in partnership with NASA and the University of Washington (UW).

During the next five months, these Phase One students will complete online academic coursework in order to qualify for one of 160 summer residency session slots.

WAS participants also have the option to receive five UW credits in Space and Space Travel (ESS 102) upon on their successful completion of the online WAS curriculum. This course will satisfy the Natural World area of knowledge requirement for graduation from UW.
