Welcome to OOA
Welcome Kristian “Taylor” Stork
Meet Kristian "Taylor" Stork. She is our new x-ray-tech
at the Westside clinic. She started on Sept. 1st. After
speaking with Kristian you will soon realize she is a
Southerner and definitely not from this area. She is from
as far south as you can get without getting into the Gulf
of Mexico. Her husband joined the Air Force three years
ago and is currently in the beginning of his first deployment.
She has a two year old Boston Terrier named Jax and a 15 month old
baby boy named Jensen Matthew. Jensen Matthew, or Baby J as they
call him, absolutely LOVES cowboy boots and most of the time likes to
sleep with them on. So needless to say, Kristian reports they have a
few pairs for him and his obsession. He loves books, dancing to old
school reggae music, and the park. Her “fur” baby and her son are her
entire life. A few of her favorite hobbies are reading and playing the
guitar. She says she has probably read about 4,000 books since she
started the hobby when she was ten years old. She use to collect all of
them until Hurricane Katrina flooded their house in 2005. Her biggest
hobby however, is playing guitar! She has been playing for awhile and
absolutely loves it. Every night before she puts the babies to bed she
has a few minutes of "family time" when she plays a few hymns and
sings to the delight of her “babies.”
Welcome Nathan Bowman
Nathan Bowman, Dr. Snow's new MA comes to OOA after
being in the medical field for eleven years. Starting as an
EMT/ Firefighter with Lacey Fire Dist. 3 and American
Medical Response, he then worked at Group Health
Olympia in the urgent care as a MA for three years. He is
married and has an eight year old son named Lucas and two
cats, Rodney and Roxanne and one dog named Jack. In his free
time he enjoys hiking and camping and almost any type of outdoor
sport from snow skiing to surfing. Recently he and his wife drove
across the country and back in two weeks sleeping in their car at
highway rest stops. The entire trip was such a fun and educational
adventure, they went out to explore our country and were blown
away by its beauty.

Where’s
the
Crutch?
You’ve heard of
“Where’s Waldo?”
You’ve played
“Where’s Little
Bill” in the local
”Coffee News”
newsletter. Well
now it’s time
for…TAADAAA….”Where’s
the Crutch?”
Each week a
crutch will be
hidden in “Week
At A Glance.” It
may be hidden in
a picture, within
some text, or out
in the open. It’s
your challenge to
find it. What do
you get? A few
moments of fun
and entertainment.
It’s also a sneaky
way to get you to
look through the
entire newsletter.

401(k)/Pension Plan Open Enrollment
October 1 is just around the corner
and it is an important date for
those employees who are newly
eligible to enter our plan. If you
have been here for one full year
(hire date prior to October 1, 2014)
and worked at least 1000 hours
during the year, you meet the
eligibility requirements of our plan
and can now start deferring a
portion of you wages into the 401k
plan.
You can defer up to $18,000
($24,000 if you are over 50) into
the plan. These are tax free dollars
– or if you prefer you can pay the
taxes now by electing to do a ROTH
deferral. The really good part of
this is that if you put at least 4% of
your salary into the pension plan,
OOA will match that 4% dollar for
dollar.
Another piece of the pension plan
is the Employer Discretionary
Funding that OOA contributes to
the plan on your behalf; currently
6% of your annual salary once you
are eligible to enter the plan. For
those employees entering the plan
on October 1 of this year – you will
receive the match and
discretionary funding on wages
earned in October through
December.
If you are eligible, you will be
receiving a packet of information
along with enrollment forms in the
next couple of weeks. If you do
not receive a packet by mid-month,
please contact Toni Clark (X1123)
in the admin office and she will be
happy to send you one.
