Don’t let modern dental care Break the Bank!As the tech-world around us continues to move forward at lightning speed, so have technological advances in dental care at Kirkland Family Dentistry. Dr. Everett and Dr. Greene have recently enlarged and modernized their facility to accommodate more of Kirkland’s residents as patients. Using large screen monitors in every room, the doctors are able to look at digital x-rays and photographs of patient’s teeth using the most modern equipment available. Dr.

Everett stated, “our job is simply to inform patients about the status of their oral health and advise them on how to keep their teeth and gums healthy.”

Kirkland Family Dentistry’s mission is to provide the Kirkland community with the highest quality of dental care at the most reasonable price. � ey do so by honoring almost all available insurance plans and working with patients’ insurance companies to maximize their dental bene� ts. According to Dr. Greene, “we are commonly able to work with the insurance companies so that they cover many of the preventive

procedures at 100%, leaving no cost to the patient.” Both doctors try to do only necessary treatment so that patients do not go over

their annual allowable insurance bene� t. � is philosophy allows all of a patient’s dental needs to be

met over time at a minimal cost.

Kirkland Family Dentistry also has many patients without insurance and is committed to ensuring dental care is a� ordable to everyone in the community, regardless of insurance status. By giving ‘payment at time of service’ discounts whenever possible and working with simple payment plans, Kirkland Family Dentistry provides everyone the opportunity to take care of their teeth.

To a� rm their commitment to providing the highest quality of dental care available, Dr. Everett and Dr. Greene are extending to all new patients their 99¢ special for a comprehensive exam, cleaning, and x-rays. In Dr. Everett’s words, “this allows anyone to experience high-end dental care at no � nancial risk.” Kirkland Family Dentistry strives to eliminate the dilemma many people face when it comes to

the high-cost of dental care. Kirkland Family Dentistry encourages Kirkland residents to call the o� ce and see if Kirkland Family Dentistry can provide the same care or procedures as other dentists at a fee that’s more reasonable.

If you think your dentist is too expensive, you might be right. Call Kirkland Family Dentistry today at 425-822-0435 to take advantage of the 99¢ new patient exam, cleaning, and x-rays. See for yourself how a� ordable high-tech dentistry can be. Visit Kirkland Family Dentistry’s website at AdvancedSmileDentalCare.com.

Elementary. � is year, they raised $688 for the � � h

grade students’ Outdoor Education program.

all over 60, with their start-ing positions based on their previous year’s ranking.

“I was the first in my group, which was the senior veterans age 75-79,” she said, “but I was preceded by a few people faster than me and many people younger than I, who were still starting after me. The ones starting right after me had been very close to me in time, so I was very worried about those people. Even though I wasn’t racing them, I was working very hard to stay out in front of them, and I had to work to do that. But I did succeed in staying in front of all of them. They were inspiring me to keep going forward.”

The Head of the Charles is particularly well known for its difficult course, in which rowers are penalized if they fail to make the proper turns around buoys. Additionally, for single rowers facing back-wards, there is no coxswain to help navigate. On top of that, Stone said, there was also headwind that made navigating tricky, but still manageable.

Although she’s pleased with securing first place, Stone said the greater achievement was racing the way she had prepared and doing so according to plan based on her training.

“I think actually it’s even more important to have a plan and to carry it out well

and feel that I didn’t make any big mistakes,” she said. “If there’s somebody faster than I am, then so be it, but there is a great satisfaction in being ready and carrying out the race the way you had it planned.”

Another satisfaction is be-ing able to train and compete without sustaining injuries that could threaten her ability to row in the future.

“There’s a sense which I’m always concerned about whether I’ll be able to main-tain my strength, whether I’ll be able to stay healthy, to train enough to be ready,” she said. “I usually don’t feel ready, but this year I did, sur-prisingly enough, feel really ready. I was looking forward

to the race and I could hardly wait for it to come. Usually I feel like I need a few more weeks.”

Additionally, Stone said her long-term goal isn’t so much her performance dur-ing the races but being able to participate. She trains with the Pocock Rowing Founda-tion, which she said “makes this all possible.”

“I’ve been fortunate to win it three times,” she said, “but I still want to do it whether I would win or not. We did have an 88-year-old entry, and I hope when I’m 88, I’ll be doing it, too.”

Former Bellevue residents, Stone and her husband Harold recently moved to Kirkland.

Potala Village neighbors seek “Neighborly Developer”

With this morning’s news that Judge Robart has put Lobsang Dargey and his companies into re-ceivership, the likelihood of sale of the 10th Avenue South and Lake Street South properties may have just increased.

� is could be a great opportunity for a wonder-fully neighborly developer. � is is a beautiful piece of property zoned for Residential Market – Neigh-borhood Business. � e area boasts well designed single family homes and low to medium density condominiums with a couple low to medium density apartments (5-18 units/acre). Setbacks from the sidewalk are generous and usually have lush landscaping, sculptures and fountains that add to the inviting and walkable main boulevard along the western shore of Lake Washington. Mature trees are generally kept in place and built around.

� ese properties have a 30-foot-height limit ABE so a third story could be built and would likely have some beautiful lake views. Just think of the wonderful possibilities the properties would o� er to a developer truly attempting to build something that ADDS to the current character of the neighbor-hood.

Mr. Dargey’s development of this property has been contentious for more than four years. � ere has been a steadfast group of about 800 citizens banding together, showing up to meetings in large numbers and pooling money for attorneys. All this as a result of the developer’s attempts to miscon-

strue and change zoning and insert a much too big development into a site that was to be for “very small building or mixed use center” with neigh-borhood serving business(es) and some sort of neighborhood gathering attributes.

� ere was more than the “normal” citizen outcry here. � is was not the run of the mill objection with some citizens showing up for a meeting or two and then disappearing. In fact, the zoning abuses were considered so egregious that the 800 participants rotated their attendance and were still showing up in groups of about 50 at each City Council or Design Review Meeting � � y-two (52) months later. � ey have worn matching “red shirts” to approxi-mately 70 meetings to date.

Should the current developer, or some other developer, persist in trying to build a misplaced development on this site, my guess is that the persis-tent “red shirts” will remain.

We hope instead to attract a developer with a beautiful neighborhood compatible vision, com-patible in size, scale and character. If you are that developer, your neighbors await with open arms.Karen Levenson, Kirkland

Testicular discriminationI live in Bellevue but o� en take our dog to Jasper’s

Dog Park [in Kirkland] before making the weekly Costco run. As the owner of a healthy, obedient, licensed and inoculated pooch, I like to think of myself as a responsible dog owner. However, my sanctimonious bubble was burst on our last trip to Jasper’s when someone pointed at my dog’s genitals

and snarled, “He can’t stay. It’s the rule.” Embar-rassed with my unwitting infraction, I complied immediately, apologized and exited the park with my dog and his prodigious testicles.

I get it, without human intervention, domestic animals reproduce ad in� nitum, but that does not mean dogs who remain in their natural state should be viewed as pariahs. As spaying/neutering in the U.S. reaches near universal compliance, the unneutered have become targets for exclusion and discrimination by those who irrationally perceive the intact dog as an anathema. Animal health issues aside, there is actually no credible evidence that castrating dogs actually makes them more docile or obedient, even the ASPCA says, “...studies have found no signi� cant relationship between aggres-sion and neutering.” With nearly 90 percent of dogs in America neutered, are we to assume that the majority of dog � ghts at the park are among the unneutered? Conversely, in Norway it is illegal to de-sex a dog, are we to assume that they are overrun by hormonal Cujos?

Castigating the uncastrated is not a sensible method of ensuring dog harmony, neutering does not ensure an obedient or gentle dog, but socializa-tion with other dogs does. I encourage Jasper’s Dog Park to take a more inclusive stance and reconsider an irrational “rule” that does nothing to improve the dog park experience, it only serves to placate those who humanize dogs and propagate castration myths.

● L E T T E R S . . . Y O U R O P I N I O N C O U N T S : To submit an item or photo: email [email protected]; mail attn: Letters, Kirkland Reporter, 11630 Slater Ave. N.E., Suite 8/9, Kirkland, Washington, 98034; fax 425.822.0141. Letters may be edited for style, clarity and length.

It seems pretty obvious Washington’s next state auditor won’t be the current one, Troy X. Kelley.

But then who might it be?Only one candidate has stepped forward, Repub-

lican state Sen. Mark Miloscia of Federal Way.It wasn’t a shock. In fact, it’s overdue as Miloscia

began recruiting himself when the political career of Kelley nose-dived earlier this year in a hailstorm of criminal charges.

Ever since federal agents searched Kelley’s Ta-coma home in March then accused the � rst-term Democrat of a slew of white col-lar crimes like tax evasion and money laundering, Miloscia has appeared driven to steer him out of o� ce and position himself to become his successor.

Miloscia was one of the � rst soloists in a chorus of political leaders calling on Kelley to resign. And he’s used his position as chairman of the Senate Account-ability and Reform Committee to keep the auditor’s alleged exploits in full view of the public.

Miloscia organized an April 1 hearing – no joke – and invited Kelley to testify. Kelley blew him o� and Miloscia lamented about the damage to public con� dence in the auditor’s o� ce caused by the embattled auditor’s behavior.

It’s not personal. Miloscia is a by-the-rules guy. � roughout his tenure in the state House and now Senate he’s been a stickler for measuring the perfor-mance of government and embracing the need to make it e� cient and e� ective.

It’s not partisan. In 2012, Miloscia ran for state auditor as a Democrat and lost, badly. He � nished fourth in the four-person primary. He watched Kelley advance to the general election and defeat Republican James Watkins.

� is time the dynamics will be quite di� erent. He enlisted in the Republican Party in 2014 and

won his Senate seat. Miloscia stands to be the best known and maybe only GOP hopeful in the � eld in 2016.

On the Democratic side, the picture is far less clear. � e party had three candidates in the 2012 primary and none right now.

One name getting tossed around is Rep. Derek Stanford, D-Bothell, who also represents residents in north Kirkland from the 1st District.

“I’m looking at it but it’s too early to make a deci-sion,” he said.

Stanford seems well-suited for the job that requires fact-checking the � nancial record-keeping of other public o� cials and not humiliating those whose errors you uncover.

He’s easy-going and blessed with a blend of numeric knowledge and legislative nerdism. He’s got a master’s in mathematics, a PhD in statistics and is vice-chairman of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee which examines the inner-

workings of government bureaucracy.Stanford is also vice-chairman of the House

Capital Budget Committee which is in transition. It needs a chairman since longtime leader, Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, is now at the helm of the House Appropriations Committee. If Stanford is o� ered the post, it probably dashes any chance of his running.

� e leader of the state Democratic Party isn’t worrying about the lack of candidate yet.

“We’re looking at the race,” said Jaxon Ravens, chairman of the state Democratic Party. “We take all statewide races seriously and we will have a seri-ous contender for this race.”

It should be obvious it won’t be Kelley.

Federal agency dismisses complaint against Energize Eastside project

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has dismissed the complaint filed by three local residents and two neighborhood opposi-tion groups against Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside project. The ruling reaffirms that PSE complied with federal rules and the transmis-sion planning responsi-bilities in planning the project.

“Contrary to Complain-ants’ vague allegations that the Respondents have violated [Federal trans-mission planning regula-tions], the record before us shows that [PSE] and the other Respondents have complied with the applicable transmission planning requirements,” states FERC.

The Energize Eastside project – which will build a new electric substation and higher capacity trans-mission lines to serve homes and businesses on the Eastside -- is essen-tial to meet the growing electric needs of homes and businesses in Eastside neighborhoods. The line, which is the backbone of the existing local trans-mission system, had its last major upgrade in the 1960s.

“The complainants erroneously asserted the Energize Eastside project primarily ben-efits the larger, regional transmission system,” said Dan Koch, direc-tor of engineering and major projects at PSE. “In fact, Energize Eastside is needed to solve local de-

livery capacity issues be-cause of so much growth. Independent studies, along with our own, have confirmed that. And now, so has FERC.”

FERC further states the Energize Eastside project “was designed to address [PSE’s] projected inability to serve its own custom-ers,” and confirmed that PSE “has demonstrated that its needs assessments identified a transmission capacity deficiency.”

In addition to PSE, the Bonneville Power Administration, Seattle City Light and Colum-biaGrid were also listed in the complaint. The claims against BPA, Seattle City Light and ColumbiaGrid were also dismissed.

“The individual who is paying the rental fee wishes to remain anony-mous,” Jensen wrote. “Kirkland building and fire officials have autho-rized the placement of a 400-square-foot, structur-ally stable, and non-flam-mable tent.”

The donation will allow the decade-and-a-half tradition to continue this year.

Morris had previously stated that he would have to call the maze off for good, disappointing neighbors and kids in the area. He said they will still have other Hallow-een displays. Morris’s only other possibility was to hope the city would reverse its decision.

Morris became aware of the situation when he returned to his home one day to find the cease and

desist letter stating struc-tures over 200 square feet require a permit, which he hadn’t applied for or received.

The trouble, Mor-

ris said, is that the city wouldn’t give him a permit even if he applied for one because the maze wasn’t constructed ac-cording to code.

Jensen wrote in an email that the building official determined “the structure is unsafe be-cause it is not structurally stable and it is covered with a flammable tarp. The structure would not withstand a windstorm. The current covering poses a fire hazard.”

Additionally, the maze is located in a setback area, which is a specific

area between a building or other structure and the street or road, something which is also prohibited by city code.

“The City recognizes that the homeowner’s long-standing Halloween tradition is appreciated by those who visit it but it is the City’s responsibility to ensure structures to be used by the public are safe for occupancy,” she wrote.

Morris said after meet-ing with city officials, he was offered several alter-native options that would have the maze conform to code. One would be to re-duce the 400-square-foot maze to less than 200, which would not require a permit. However, Mor-ris would also have to use fire retardant material for the maze’s covering, which would still require a city evaluation, accord-ing to Jensen.

Morris said none of the options are feasible for the maze he’s envisioned.

Initially, Morris was getting the word out to people who were plan-ning on the maze so they knew it wouldn’t be there this year.

“Sometimes we get 400 people at our place,” he told the Reporter prior to the donation of the tent. “There are kids who have grown up and come back with their own kids to go through it.”

Prior to the recent city letter, Morris said he has never received a com-plaint from them, or any-one else, about the maze. The only complaint he’s ever received, he joked, is from his neighbors about having to buy more candy to accommodate the extra

kids who visit their street.Originally, Morris said

his family had small Hal-loween displays in the front yard, but in 2000 he finally decided to offer

something more memorable.

At first, build-ing the maze himself, Morris said they have neighbors who volunteer to help out, while friends are invited to dress up as monsters in the maze. The motifs for the maze vary from year to year to

offer variety, all featured in a photo scrapbook Morris’ wife has put to-gether. This year’s theme will be a fear farm, featur-ing corn stalks and a corn field and the appropriate spooky music.

Local hospital earns statewide recognition as a leader in patient safety

EvergreenHealth is pleased to announce it has been honored with Washington State Hospital Association’s “Achieving Best Care” award

for its outstanding achieve-ment in making health care safer. � e Kirkland-based health system received the annual award for its e� orts in reducing patient harm in key areas identi� ed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

EvergreenHealth was recognized at WSHA’s 83rd Annual Meeting on Oct. 8, for its achievements in decreasing preventable

hospital-acquired conditions in several key areas including catheter-associated urinary tract infection, central line-associated bloodstream infection, Clostridium dif-� cile, surgical site infection, venous thromboembolism, as well as falls and early elec-tive deliveries.

“As health care providers, patient safety is at the center of every decision we make and every interaction we

have with patients, families, and our colleagues in clinical care. � is achievement from WSHA re� ects the focus our quality leaders dedicate to constant improvement across key quality measures, which is only achieved when every individual across our organization is commit-ted to absolute safety,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte. “We are proud that our outcomes are worthy of recognition from our peers.”

Health systems across Washington were categorized and scored according to their size, with top performers achieving the highest scores in reducing patient harm in key strategies. Evergreen-Health performed in the top 25 percent compared to other medical centers of its size and is one of just 10 hospitals in the state to receive the “Achieving Best Care” award.

“When it comes to our hospitals’ achievements in patient safety, Washington state has so much to be proud of,” said WSHA Senior Vice President for Patient Safety Carol Wagner. “We’re working on the biggest chal-lenges of health care delivery, and our hospitals and health systems are consistently pushing for higher achieve-ments on more measures.

We’re glad to be able to give them the recognition they deserve.”

WSHA represents more than 100 community hospi-tals, health systems and other health-related organiza-tions, working to improve Washington residents’

well-being by being involved in all matters a� ecting the delivery, quality, accessibility, a� ordability and continuity of health care.

The Kirkland City Council approved two resolutions

concerning their plans for a new � re station, one of which in order to avoid having to sell o� Station 25 as stipulated under their interlocal agreement (ILA) with King County Fire District 41.

� e � rst resolu-tion clari� es what the city considers to be the original intent of the ILA in order to rectify their new plan for improving � re service with certain stipulations in the ILA between the city with the district following the 2011 annexation of Finn Hill, Juanita and Kingsgate. � e second resolution pertains to the city’s future plans for improving � re services in the city, as well as removes funding for planned projections based on residents’ concerns.

� e council � rst touched on the issue back in September, then held a public hearing at its Oct. 20 meeting before approv-ing the resolutions.

� e ILA had the city assume responsibility for uncompleted district projects, which included plans for consolidating Station 24 and Station 25 to improve response times on Finn Hill. At the time of annexation, the district had $5.2 million total in cash reserves ($1.2 mil-lion) and limited general

obligation debt annexation ($4 million) to pay for the project, funds which were transferred to the city as part of the ILA.

� e ILA included stipulations as to how the funds were to be spent, such as requiring the as-sets be used for the bene� t of taxpayers of the � re district. A provision in the ILA also requires the sale of the existing � re station sites, as the project as originally conceived would have had a newly constructed station on a new site. Under the ILA, the anticipated sales proceeds from the two sta-tions were not considered a funding source for the station project but would be used to retire the bond debt.

As the city moves forward with plans for improving � re service on Finn Hill, where the 2012 Fire Strategic Plan found a gap in response times, it has concluded that the single consolidated station idea is no longer feasible and that a dual-station model is “the most reason-able and cost-e� ective way to accomplish the goals of the Interlocal Agreement.”

� e dual-station model is based on recommenda-tions from a 2013 standard of coverage study and has received council support. Whereas the consolidated station would have had both current stations closed and the property sold, the dual-station plan

proposes renovating Station 25 and building a new � re station some-where in the general vi-cinity of Northeast 132nd Street and 100th Avenue Northeast to replace Sta-tion 24, which no longer has any � re sta� and has ceased operations.

Under the resolution, the city will use $3.8 million of the � re district funds toward Station 25’s renovation, which would include repairs, � re alarm and � re sprinkler installa-tions, � re separa-tion walls and accessibility improve-ments, among other things. � e remaining $1.4 million would be used to purchase prop-erty for the new Station 24 site. Once the site is purchased, the resolution states, the city would sell o� the existing station property and use the proceeds from the sale to � nance construction of the new station, though a bond might also be issued.

Now that the resolu-tions had been approved, the city will be renovating Station 25 and looking to purchase property for the new Station 24, while leaving six existing � re-� ghters at Station 27.

Among the city’s plans moving forward is consid-ering a bond measure for

the construction of Sta-tion 24, the construction of a new Station 27 east of Interstate-405, and the renovation of Stations 21, 22 and 26. � e city was also considering remov-ing road barriers on Finn Hill to improve response times, but residents voiced objections over safety concerns, and as part of the second resolution the city repurposed the $3 million intended for the removal project purchas-ing the land for the new

Station 27. Although the city has

looked at publicly-owned land on Finn Hill

previously considered for

the consolidated station, it has con-

cluded that none of them were “ideally suited and/or available,” according to the resolution. Prior to annexation, Big Finn Hill Park was initially consid-ered as a site for the future station but was dropped due to local opposition.

“� e goals of the In-terlocal Agreement cannot reasonably and cost-ef-fectively be accomplished by undertaking the Fire Station Consolidation Project as described in the Interlocal Agreement,” the resolution states. “To con-tinue to attempt to con-solidate the two stations in a new location would

frustrate the purpose of increasing service levels in the near-term and within the budget provided by the District, and such attempt would not be in the public interest.”

Councilmember Toby Nixon, who served as a � re commissioner in the district at the time the ILA was written, said the pro-posed resolution would be in keeping with the spirit or intent of the agreement.

“� e overriding purpose or intent of the com-mission was to solve the coverage issues on Finn Hill and to make sure the money or assets coming from the district to the city were used for that purpose and didn’t disap-pear into the city general fund,” he said at the Sept. 15 council meeting. “My belief is if we had thought about this contingency at the time we did the ILA, we would have al-lowed this explicitly. Even though I can’t speak for other commissioners and the � re district no longer exists, I think we’re on solid ground by following this path.”

He later reiterated this sentiment at the Oct. 20 meeting.

“� e intent was to make sure that this $5.2 million didn’t just disappear into the city’s general fund and get used for something else,” he said. “� e key question is whether the city has to sell Station 25 to itself. It doesn’t make a

lot of sense for it to have to do that.”

Councilmember Penny Sweet stated that the resolutions will allow them the � exibility needed to provide � re services to the city.

“It’s been a long slog,” she said. “At times it’s kind of felt like ‘Where’s Waldo’ in terms of where we were going to land. I believe we landed in the right place. We took a lot of le� turns along the way but I think this actually meets our commitment of expand-ing � re service across the whole city in ways that have been more creative than they have been in the past.”

City Attorney Robin Jenkinson said that while they aren’t aware of any legal precedent for the resolution clarifying the ILA, it is also an unusual situation due to the fact that the other party in the ILA, the � re district, no longer exists.

Before voting on the resolutions, the city reached out to the at-torney who served as the bound council for the � re district. � e city has also contacted the other � re commissioners at the time the ILA was approved and invited them participate in the public hearing, though according to Jenkinson, all other commissioners besides Nixon have at this point declined, though they also o� ered no objec-tion to the resolution.

City Council approves two critical resolutions for new fire plan

Local company introduces teacher discount program

ATGStores.com,

based in Kirkland, has launched the Teacher Discount program, an initiative aimed at help-ing educators by provid-ing a 10 percent discount on every purchase to all program members every day of the year.

The discount can be applied to purchases on the ATGStores.com website in any product category, even during the summer months when

school is not in session. “Our community is

sensitive to the needs of teachers, and we hope the Teacher Discount program serves as a useful tool for educa-tors here and across the country,” said Luke Goff, ATGStores.com Vice President of Operations.

Any teacher can sign up at any time by using a valid school email address, which

must be confirmed by ATGStores.com before program membership is activated. Once con-firmed, members will receive a personalized discount code they can use whenever they like.

The new Teacher Discount program is a companion to the ATGStores.com Stu-dent Discount program, which offers students the same discount benefits

all year long. “We believe both

teachers and students deserve all the help they can get, and our discount programs are a way for us to support their goals as educators and future leaders,” Mr. Goff said.

ATGStores.com, a Lowe’s Company since 2011, specializes in home improvement and home furnishing

products and has been serving its customers since 1999.

The company features more than 3.5 million products in a host of dif-ferent categories rang-ing from lighting and plumbing to furniture and hardware.

Businesswoman named to lead Washington Leadership Forum

Astra Women’s Business Alliance (Astra) named three women entrepre-neurs, including Betta Beasley from Kirkland, to lead its Washington Lead-ership Forum.

Astra State Leaders are the voice of women business own-ers throughout the state. � ey elevate issues facing women-owned businesses to Astra’s regional o� ce, which is headquartered in Portland, Ore., and to national Women’s Business Enter-prise National Council (WBENC) leadership. � e women also in� uence and plan Astra educational programming and net-working events. Support-ing outreach to women business enterprises to advocate for the value of becoming WBENC-cer-ti� ed is also part of their leadership role.

Beasley, Founder and CEO, 2rbConsulting Inc. and Co-Chair Astra Wash-ington Leadership Team; Sandy Brewer, president and CEO, Pinnacle In-vestigations and Pinnacle Professional Services in Spokane Valley; and Kelly Sparks, founder and CEO, VMG/studio520 in Bel-levue, and Co-Chair Astra Washington Leadership Team, were named Astra Leadership Forum State Leaders for a two-year term.

All are WBENC-certi� ed women-owned businesses.

“We rely on State Leaders to identify the concerns wom-en business owners encounter in their e� orts to grow their businesses,” said President and

CEO of Astra Diane Mc-Clelland. “Women-owned businesses contribute signi� cantly to the region and national economy. As their champions, Astra and its Leadership Forum want to help women busi-ness enterprises thrive.”

Beasley’s company connects people with technology across all func-tional areas of Informa-tion Technology through

innovative sta� ng and placement services. � e company’s government services division supports public sector IT programs for federal, state and local governments and contrac-tors. � e 2rbConsulting sta� ng division supports commercial and private sector programs and projects.

Beasley is a proud U.S. Army Veteran and was appointed by the direc-tor of the Washington Department of Veterans A� airs as chair of the Technology Committee for the Women Veterans Advisory Committee. She works with corporations nationwide to help them understand the value of hiring veterans, and part-ners with corporate lead-ers in the development of military recruitment strat-egies and veteran hiring initiatives. As an advo-cate for women veterans, Beasley is frequently asked to speak at conferences on issues a� ecting veterans, ranging from military sexual trauma (MST), suicide, PTSD, homeless-ness, education and job placement.

October is FREE WINDOWS MONTH at Renewal byAndersen.1

Why have our customers chosen us over another window company?

1. Fibrex® Material Our Fibrex material was researched by Andersen for 30 years before it was installed in even one home. Our Fibrex material is twice as strong as vinyl.

2. Unique Look Our window has the elegant look and strength of a wood window, but our Fibrex material doesn’t demand the same maintenance of wood.

3. Accountability There’s no frustrating “middle man” to deal with. We sell, build, install and warrant both our windows and installation.
