Kenmore hosts Legislative Send-Off

BY DEANNA ISAACS

Rep. Luis Moscoso of the 1st District and Rep. Jessyn Farrell

of the 46th District have announced their support for a proposed House Bill to defelonize drug possession. � e bill was � led on Dec. 8 by Rep. Sherry Appleton.

� e bill would remove any felony charges for the personal possession of illegal substances and reduce the charges to a misdemeanor if passed by legislature.

� e intention is that the state could save a signi� cant amount of money each year, from the approximate 9,000 non-violent drug felony

arrests to freeing up space within the prison system.

“Defelonizing personal drug possession is a smart, pragmatic approach to reducing the harms associ-ated with the drug war,” said Farrell, who represents Kenmore residents in Olympia. “� e move would reduce incarceration, save the state millions of dollars, and prevent thousands of individuals from receiving a permanent and costly felony record.”

Other local representa-tives are looking to co-sponsor the bill, but have yet to o� cially do so.

“I expect to co-sponsor the bill to change posses-sion of controlled substanc-

Amaro Bistro marks start of retail rejuvenation in downtown BothellBY DEANNA ISAACS

[email protected]

Amaro Bistro celebrated its grand opening on Jan. 7 with a ribbon cutting cer-emony at their new location along Northeast Bothell Way.

� e restaurant is the

� rst to open as part of the 10-year-in-the-making revitalization project in downtown Bothell.

Nick Wilkes is not only the owner of both IL Bistro, in Seattle, and Amaro Bistro, but also a Bothell resident. When he heard about the chance to open up a restau-

rant within his home town, he knew he couldn’t pass it up.

“I’m a resident of Bothell, and I’ve lived here now for 16 years, raised my kids here and really love the commu-nity,” Wilkes said. “When I saw that Bothell was starting a revitalization of the down-

town I was really interested and got involved in some of the early planning. When I heard that the 6 Oaks...would have retail space, I contacted the developer to see if they were interested in having a restaurant.”

� e community has helped him � nd a path to

Bothell’s revitalization, too. although for Wilkes the clincher was McMenamin’s coming to the old Ander-son School building. He knew of McMenamin’s from his days living in Portland and is looking forward to having such a destination experience bring people to

the city and to his resturant. � e opening of Amaro

Bistro is one of the � rst steps in this long revitaliza-tion project, though, and the � rst restaurant to open since the process began.

Recently, there have been coyote sightings in the Ken-more area and, even more disturbing, a coyote killed by an illegal trapping device in the neighboring township of

Lake Forest Park.Coyotes are nothing new,

nor are they a problem that is likely to disappear. Ken-more police advise people to contact the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) or the US Department of Agriculture’s

Wildlife Services unit when these sightings are reported.

“Sightings themselves are ‘actionable’ no more than seeing a skunk or raccoon, but if people are concerned, we want to know about it,” said Craig Bartlett, public information o� cer for the

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. “...It’s really unusual for coyotes to turn on people, usually there’s some feeding involved when that happens.”

Coyote attacks are rare. � e � rst recorded case of a coyote attack in Washington

took place in April 2006, when one coyote bit two young children who were playing near their parents, and that animal was eutha-nized for unusually aggres-sive behavior.

“If you have a sighting, pay attention to the behavior

of the coyote,” said Andy Cleland, wildlife specialist for the USDA Wildlife Services unit. “Keep in mind the � ve W’s; who what when where and why. � e important pieces are the time of day, where you were at, what

es a misdemeanor instead of a felony. Mere possession should not be a felony,” said Rep. Gerry Pollet of the 46th Legisla-tive District. “Most controlled substance arrestees also have mental health issues - and most mental health holds for evaluations are for people with substance abuse problems. We need to pro-vide mental health treatment coupled with expanding our programs to treat and prevent

substance abuse.”� e Reporter did not

receive a reply from Moscoso, who represents Bothell and

Kirkland residents in Olympia, for comment prior to press time.

� e bill is supported by many members of law enforce-ment, including Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP),

an organization of current and retired law enforcement professionals, Students for Sensible Drug Policy, Wash-ington CURE, and the ACLU

of Washington.According to the bill’s

text, crimes such as manu-facturing, possession of large amounts, and dealing drugs will still be illegal under the proposed law.

� e big departure from the current law on the books is that possessing small amounts of a sub-stance prohibited under the Controlled Substance Act, including heroin, meth-amphetamines, or cocaine, wouldn’t be a felony, merely a

misdemeanor. Misdemeanors in Wash-

ington can include punish-ment of up to 90 days in jail,

up to a $1,000 � ne, or both. On top of the initial misdemeanor punishments, viola-tion of the Uniform Controlled Substance Act (UCSA) includes a minimum penalty of no less than 24 hours

imprisonment and a � ne of no less than $250.

� e defelonization does not equal decriminaliza-tion, such as what marijuana recently went through. What it does mean, though, is thousands of users won’t be clogging the justice system.

“If we can do something right now, today, that avoids

unnecessarily ruining one more otherwise-productive citizen’s life, we should do so without delay,” Appleton said. “Additionally, the state is currently facing unprecedented � nancial pressures...every dime counts more than ever. Why should we continue to pour millions of dollars into something that is an acknowledged failure, something that actu-ally harms our economy in a number of ways, when those scant resources are needed for recognized priorities?”

� is isn’t the � rst time that Washington State has attempted to defelonize controlled substances. Back in 2014, House Bill 2116

would have defelonized drug possession but not drug manufacturing, dealing, or possession of large amounts.

� at bill was not successfully passed even though no one testi� ed against it.

� e other issue this bill faces is a divided legislature, but there are merits of this bill that both Democrats

and Republicans support.“I believe this bill speaks to

folks on both sides of the aisle - conservatives will appreciate the revenues saved by reduc-ing sentences, while folks on my side of the aisle will hopefully see this as a good � rst step towards � xing what the War on Drugs has done to our country,” Farrell said.

Community rallies to help family after fire destroys belongingsBy Deanna IsaaCs

[email protected]

Only a few days after Christmas, one Bothell family

found themselves without a home after a fire ripped through their rented resi-dence at the 2900 block of 228th Street SE.

“I pulled in right as she got all the kids out; the front door was open with flames coming out of the front door,” said Kevin Hackney, renter of the home and father of the family. “[The kids] were in pajama mode so I just got them into our van and put the heater on to keep them warm.”

According to Kevin, Lois, his wife, noticed a fire com-ing from the kitchen, but was more concerned with getting the kids out of the house. As per a Bothell Fire Department press release, the cause of the incident was determined to be an accidental electrical fire with damages estimated at approximately $200,000.

The entire family managed to make it out unharmed, including both parents and the four chil-dren, ages 2 1/2, 4, 6 and 10. Lois Hackney, mother, and

10-year-old daughter Mona were rushed to the hospital as a precaution for smoke inhalation. They were re-leased later that night.

However, everything within the home was destroyed either by fire or smoke damage, including some very costly equipment for Mona’s disability.

“My oldest daughter has Retts Syndrome,” Kevin said. “Her wheelchair was the most important thing that was lost. She is fully dependent.”

Retts syndrome is a neurological disorder that affects only female children and can lead to the loss of cognitive and motor func-tions as a child grows.

Mona’s wheelchair, her only means of mobility, cost around $11,000 to purchase and another approximate $10,000 to upgrade for Mo-na’s specific needs, making the total cost of the chair approximately $21,000. The family was working on upgrading the chair even further in order to allow Mona to speak with those around her via an onboard computer, a cost that is hard to replace given how much they’ve already lost.

“I was surprised, shocked… Everyone was

safe and, of course, that’s the most important thing,” said Dianna Galante, founder of Whole Earth Montessori located next door to the burned house. “I expect that the com-munity will step up to help the family; this is Bothell - we’re nice [and] we help each other.”

The community support has already started to come in. The Bothell/Woodinville Firefighter’s Benevolence Fund was used to put the family up in a hotel room at the Hilton Suites.

“It was a life saver,” Kevin said. “I didn’t know that the [Benevolence Fund] existed so I’m very grateful it was there.”

According to Kevin Hackney, Hilton Suites gave them complementary room service on Tuesday morn-ing and the Snohomish Chapter of the Red Cross has also paid for a few nights at the same hotel, along with helping them with money for clothing and food necessities, and helping connect them to new places to live.

However, that still won’t bring back Mona’s wheel-chair.

“Mona is very intelligent and can tell what’s going on,

but can’t do anything for herself,” Kevin said. “She’s 60 pounds and the way we get her around is her wheelchair.”

While there is cur-rently no fundraiser to help replace the lost chair, Lois Hackney’s sister, Mary Swann of Nome, AK, started a fundraiser on Go-FundMe to help cover the costs of restarting family life after the blaze. And the Northshore community has reponded. As of press time, the GoFundMe had raised $14,088 with an initial goal of $10,000.

“[I] will be doing my best

to help out via the Bothell Community page as well,” said Michelle Dunphy of Bothell in her donation note on the GoFundMe page.

“Our thoughts and prayers go along with this donation to you - from one Rett Family to another,” said another note from Bonnie Keck’s $50 donation.

“Prayers are also being sent for you and your family,” said Desirae Cook along with her $100 dona-tion. “I love you all and I’m so glad you are safe.”

Support has also come from the Bothell Com-

munity page on Facebook, where a list of needed things is already being gathered, including items such as a jogging stroller to temporarily replace the wheelchair, boys and girls clothing and cold weather coats, shoes for Kevin, and more. Bothell resident Suzy Mac is coordinating a food-train for the family as they are without an oven and other food-making basics.

While the most impor-tant part is the family’s safety, it will take an army of community supporters to help this family get back on their feet.

Fire investigators comb through the remains of a house in Bothell that caught fire, causing $200,000 in damange. Deanna Isaacs, Bothell Reporter

School district later start survey

The Northshore School District (NSD) recently emailed to the community a list of questions relating to later start times for high school students. With over 5,000 responses the results were overwhelmingly in favor of later start times. This is a pivotal moment for the NSD and school board.

Parent Advocates for a Later Start (PALS) are now hoping that the board will in earnest take what the community; parents, non-parents and teaching staff has voted for and move forward with later start times.

There [was] a board study session Jan. 13 to discuss later start times and a board meeting straight after at the NSD offices in Bothell.Annette Whelan, PALS

Fourth of July parade chairs in January?

I must protest! Rather vehemently I might add.

This has gone too far.While I am a supporter of the quaint

practice of a Fourth of July parade, I am quite ambivalent about putting out chairs to reserve viewing spots for said parade.

At first, chairs would appear the morning of the Fourth of July. Then, people started setting out their chairs days before the Fourth of July - chained up I might add. But this - setting out chairs on Main Street at the beginning of the new year!

What next? The city of Bothell taking on line reservations for prime spots? Perhaps VIP packages will be available complete with wait staff?

Really, this is too much.Enid Strict, Bothell

Tell representatives to support Inslee proposal

The article “Gov. Inslee proposes fund-ing for Saint Edwards waterfront addition” is a great primer for the local impact of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Pro-gram (WWRP), but as our population grows we must look statewide.

Communities across the state need robust funding to make the other 122 proposed projects a reality. These projects range from preserving habitat for elk and salmon, build-ing new parks and trails and more.

Thanks to the leadership of our legislators working on the capital budget like Senator Andy Hill and Representative Monica Stonier, we have been incredibly fortunate in Bothell over the past few years. WWRP funding has helped our community safeguard North Creek Forest and develop Cedar Grove Park.

These grants not only enhanced our parks, but enhanced our quality of life. By providing high-quality amenities in our neighborhoods, we attract new residents and new business. And these benefits extend beyond the communities that are directly affected.

The entire state benefits from investing in the outdoors because it creates a stronger tax to support all of the state’s programs.

As our population grows in King County and elsewhere, we need to commit to pro-tecting our natural heritage so future Wash-ingtonians can benefit from the fantastic quality of life we have come to expect.

When they return to Olympia later this month, we need our legislators to renew their

leadership for our great outdoors, whether they are majestic forests or neighborhood parks.Jim Freese, Bothell

Thank you Rep. Suzan DelBene

Over the last few years, the U.S. Border Patrol was subject to federally-mandated budget cuts, sequestration, and a ruling by the O� ce of In-spector General stating that the current Agency overtime pay system was being used illegally. As a result, the number of agents patrolling our border was sharply reduced and agents were leaving the force in droves. Absent legislative intervention, the Agency would soon � nd itself in an emergency state.

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene co-sponsored a bi-partisan bill to stop Border

Patrol attrition and shield Border Patrol manpower from future budget cuts. On December 18, 2014, President Obama

signed this bill, S.1691, into law.On behalf of the National Border Patrol

Council, I would like to express our deep gratitude to Congresswoman Suzan DelBene for her vital role in this legislation and for the sup-port she demonstrated to the men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol throughout the process. I would also like for her constituency in the 1st Congressional District of Washington State to know that their representative, without public recognition for doing so, worked vigorously to secure our borders.

� ank you, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene. It is an honor to live and work in your district.Michael Cox, National Border Patrol Council Local 2913

The terrorist attacks in Paris at the news-paper Charlie Hebdo last week came as a shock to most. � e killing of 12 journal-

ists, in a military-style execution for exercising their free speech rights, should concern every person who loves their freedom and democracy.

But for many in journalism, the attacks were a reminder of how important our jobs are to our communities and mostly to our democracy.

Most newspapers in the United States, includ-ing the Bothell-Kenmore Reporter, received an FBI bulletin late last year warning of poten-tial terrorist attacks against accredited media sources.

Most of us laughed it o� - until last week.But the attacks in Paris are not unusual. � e

Committee to Protect Journalists reported that 61 journalists were killed while on assignment during 2014.

And while the killing of journalists is mostly con� ned to war zones and terror attacks, the attempts to silence journalists are not.

Every week our reporters share stories of people in the community who do not agree with what we printed in our paper. Most leave us a voice mail, an email or a message on our Face-book page. Some take the time to write a letter to the editor. We appreciate constructive criticism.

We are not perfect and we make mistakes. We also make it a point to print corrections when we are alerted to incorrect factual statements in our publications.

But when sources attempt to tell us how to write a story, they truly do not understand the point of a free press.

We are an independent source for news in the community.

We are not a public relations department for any business, city o� cial or organization.

We gather the facts and we report what we

� nd independently. Allowing sources to view stories prior to publication is against journalism ethics. Newspapers are meant to be an indepen-dent third party. It is the government’s primary job to protect its citizenry. It is journalist’s job to protect the citizenry by educating them on what the government is doing.

But whether it is a terrorist attack or a source trying to tell reporters how to do their job, everyone should be concerned when journalists are silenced.

Without free speech there is no freedom.

Without free speech there is no freedom or democracy

federal representatives for a Legislative Send-O� on Jan. 8, as session starts back up in Olympia and Washington D.C.

A representative from U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell’s o� ce and one from U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene attended the Legislative Send-O� , along with State Sen. David Frockt and State Representatives Gerry Pollet and Jessyn Farrell.

� e big issues discussed at the meeting included educa-tion, transportation and the ecological health of local waterways. Funding K-12 education, ensuring that the State Route 522 corridor is safe and has up-to-date bridges, and the ecological impact of the State Route 520 barges and dredging of the Birthing Canal near Lakepoint in Kenmore, were heavily discussed.

“Other issues that we’ll be looking at this congress are obviously transporta-tion issues, when it comes to reauthorizing the Highway

Trust Fund, which brings critical dollars to our states and counties, and important projects like out here in Washington state and in the Kenmore area with SR 522, 405 and 520,” said Tommy Bauer, a representative from Cantwell’s o� ces. “� ose are important issues we’ll be looking at when it comes to reauthorization.”

Robert Knoll from DelBene’s o� ce spoke about the dredging of the Naviga-tion and Birthing channels, and the upcoming release of chemical analysis results from testing done by the Army Corps of Engineers. � e results will show the toxicity levels of known dangerous compounds that may or may not exist within the soil.

Frockt spoke about the need for funding SR-522 improvements in order to better support the increase in tra� c from tolling. He’s also focused on a govern-ment that works through compromise. Pollet spoke about the need to protect local streams and trees, and public health interests that have been massively de-funded since the recession.

And Farrell concentrated on funding education, both K-12 and higher education, along with infrastructure improvements for roads and transit.

Of course, all of the representatives agreed that none of these things would change unless something was done about governmen-tal incomes and revenues.

“All I’m hearing is money, money, money and the dollar goes here or it goes there and it goes there,” said Kenmore business owner Carl Michelman. “What’s kind of frus-trating is over years, I hear ‘Healthcare,’ ‘Education;’ it’s like a broken record. And it’s like a family that’s dys-functional, the American way that we can’t get things right.”

An example he gave was giving health insurance to his few employees and the exorbitant increase in costs that comes from it.

“You were talking about revenue - we only have two

kinds of revenue, prop-erty tax and sales tax, and it doesn’t make it anymore,” said Michelman. “It seems that whether its house or federal government, an income tax is out of the question. You gotta make the hard choices and say ‘Maybe it’s time to � nd a di� erent way to tax us.’”

He also gave some examples of ways to

fairly tax people and businesses,

with his � nal emphasis on how no one in the legislature

wants be the one to change

taxes even though funding was critical to

all projects.Others commented about

ecological issues regarding dredging of local waterways and pollution at the Lake-point site.

“My issue is the dredging, the industrial park, the good money the citizens of the State of Washington have already spent winning the court action action against Pioneer Towing, and for the continued testing of the

[Kenmore Industrial Park] site and what the city has referred to as the Lakepoint Project,” said Kenmroe resident Pat O’Brien.

According to O’Brien, the dredging of the waterways cannot be paid for with federal funds and currently the bill resides with King County as sponsoring entity. He also states that the court documents demand testing of the site and permitting, both of which weren’t done properly.

Kenmore resident Marga-ret Wiggins spoke about the need to properly fund the Public Works infrastructure, instead of taking the funds for other governmental needs.

Eric Murray, president of Cascadia College, was concerned with how the government was going to fund itself and what strate-gies they would use for rev-enue. “My question: What’s changed in Olympia? What’s going to make this year the year we can � gure out how to pay for the things we need?”

Farrell replied with a mention of population growth also being a part

of the need to � nd new revenue for governmental funding, not just the need to continue with the same levels of funding. She also said that, while there is no crystal ball, there is a need to ensure funding for basic needs, such as education, transportation and infra-structure.

“It is an interesting set of problems that I’m listening to and I’ve listened to them before. It’s not a matter of ‘the end of the day’ its not a matter of ‘three million people moved in,’ from my perspective. It’s not a matter of sewer and power… [or] dioxins in the channel,” said Richard Honor, resident of Kenmore. “� at three mil-lion have come and gone, what we’re confronted with right now is the next two million that will show up... Who’s preventing the � re of tomorrow? It’s a bigger � re [and] its not the same one.”

State Rep. Ross Hunter (D-Medina), who is the chair of the House Appro-priations Committee, has said that the legislature will have to � ll a $4.4 billion de� cit this year, with $2 bil-lion going toward education.

Everett Herald

A Bothell man allegedly caught in Everett with a car full of drugs and a storage locker packed with guns, including an anti-tank weapon, has been indicted by a federal grand jury.

A judge in U.S. District Court in Seattle last month ordered Aaron Knapp held pending trial. Knapp, 41, was indicted a few weeks earlier on multiple drugs and weapons charges stem-ming from investigations by the Snohomish Regional Drug and Gang Taskforce and the Everett Police Department.

� e Bothell man alleg-edly was stopped in June and a drug-sni� ng dog nosed out narcotics in Knapp’s car and storage locker. Police found a combined pound of meth-amphetamine and heroin, three guns and $47,000 in cash in Knapp’s vehicle. A bomb-sni� ng dog signaled that there were explosives in Knapp’s storage locker. Investigators obtained a search warrant and found more than a dozen � re-arms, including a Finnish anti-tank gun dating back to World War II.

Knapp is a convicted

felon and prohibited from possessing � rearms.

� e Bothell man has been under investigation for peddling drugs in Snohomish County since at least 2013. Detectives were watching Knapp’s Lyn-nwood house a� er report-edly hearing from several sources that Knapp was selling large amounts of meth and heroin out of the home. Sources reported that Knapp was buying and selling guns, too, police wrote in a search warrant.

Knapp was out of cus-tody in June pending trial in two separate Snohomish County drug cases when he was arrested outside an Everett storage unit. Police said he was driving a Mercedes loaded with more than $50,000 worth of heroin and meth.

� irteen � rearms, including shotguns and ri� es, were found in the storage locker. About half the guns were stolen.

Knapp reportedly told detectives he was an unem-ployed student collecting money from a state Labor and Industries injury claim. Knapp is listed as the owner of � e Filthy Technician, an automotive repair business, according

to state records.Prior to his arrest in

June, Knapp had been charged with multiple crimes stemming from a December 2013 arrest by Everett police.

In that case, Everett police got word that Knapp was dealing drugs out of his house on 75th Street SE. An informant report-edly told cops that he’d bought meth and heroin from Knapp more than 30 times. Everett o� cers arrested Knapp as he le� his Everett home. He reportedly had a loaded .38-caliber semiautomatic handgun tucked in his waistband. Police later searched Knapp’s house and seized a quarter of a pound of heroin and about a half-pound of meth. � ey also found a handgun, ri� e, holsters and ammunition.

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Janice Albert last month dis-missed Knapp’s charges here, citing the pending federal prosecution.

He is now charged with 10 di� erent crimes, includ-ing drug distribution and being a felon in possession of � rearms.

Trial is scheduled to begin later this year.

Bothell Reporter Herald Writer

A Bothell man accused of fatally beating, stabbing and drowning his estranged wife in 2013 has decided to let a judge decide his fate.

Jury selection for Alan Smith’s � rst-degree murder trial had been scheduled to begin this week. On Monday morning, his lawyer told Snohomish County Superior

Court Judge Linda Krese that Smith instead wants a bench trial.

� at means only the judge will weigh the evidence and reach a verdict in the case. Deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson said he still plans to present the same case, and he expects the trial will last roughly three weeks. Witnesses were scheduled to begin testifying yesterday.

Smith, 39, is accused of

attacking his estranged wife, Susann Smith, 37, inside her Bothell house in February 2013.

Her body was found in the bathtub. Prosecutors allege a washcloth found under Susann Smith’s body contained the defendant’s DNA. Bloody footprints also reportedly were matched to his feet. � e Smiths were getting divorced and battling for custody of their two

young children. Although detectives found evidence they contend showed Smith carefully planned the killing, he reportedly buckled under the strain of the investigation. He was arrested a� er he alleg-edly told an acquaintance he’d met at church that he killed his wife.

At the time, Smith was the focus of intense scrutiny, much of it his own doing. About a month a� er the

killing, the defendant and his then-girlfriend, Love � ai, moved into the house where his estranged wife died. Neighbors complained to police that Smith and � ai engaged in sex on the lawn.

� e pair gave television interviews and � ai posted regular updates about the case on Facebook. She also turned to social media to an-nounce that she was pregnant with Alan Smith’s child. � ai later gave birth and put the child up for adoption. She hanged herself in April.

Judge Krese has been

ruling on pre-trial motions in the case for months and is aware of the unusual history. For example, in December, she agreed with Smith’s attorneys that jurors should not be told that some of Smith’s coworkers at Boeing considered him strange and had nicknamed him “Creepy Alan”.

Smith’s lawyer, Caroline Mann, did not immediately respond to questions about Smith’s reasons for deciding to seek a bench trial instead of taking the case before a jury.

The Washington State Department of Health sent warnings to the city of Kenmore concerning a toxic algae bloom at the north-end of Lake Wash-ington.

Algae blooms occur when there is a combi-nation of warm water temperatures, sunlight, and nutrient-rich waters that allow the algae to

reproduce quickly.“It’s unusual for this

time of year, but not unheard of,” said Andy Loch with the Bothell public works department. “Typically, as a safe guard measure, once you have the algae present, you just assume that the toxins are present as well.”

Blue-green algae, which has been detected in great numbers in Lake Wash-ington, is a cyanobacteria

that has similar qualities of algae, looks ‘blue-green’ and is commonly found on land and in waterways.

Some forms of blue-green algae can produce toxins or poisons which can cause illness in humans, pets and other animals to come into contact with it.

“Just [be] aware that it’s now present in the sys-tem…,” Loch said. “Those

who are typically around the water can keep an eye out for it and to avoid contact with it.”

Blue-green algae can create nerve toxins (neu-rotoxins) and liver toxins (hepatotoxins) and it is suggested that people call a doctor or veterinarian if any people or pets have come into contact and show signs of poisoning.

Symptoms of neuro-toxin poisoning include,

numbness of lips, tingling in fingers and toes, and dizziness; for animals it includes, weakness, stag-gering, difficulty breath-ing, convulsions and death.

Symptoms of hepa-totoxin poisoning in humans includes, signs of abnormal pain diarrhea and vomiting; and death in animals. Signs of liver poisoning may take hours or days to appear.

Department of Health posts toxic algae warnings at lake access points

This sign was posted at a Lake Washington access point to alert users of potentially harmful algae. CONTRIBUTED

NFD donations used to purchase new de� brillators

As a result of gracious donations received in 2014, the Northshore Fire Department recently pur-chased four life-saving Automatic External De� -brillation (AED) units for use in the department’s non-emergency vehicles.

� e department’s non-emergency vehicles are normally driven by personnel who have emergency medical train-ing. � ese new AED units provide these individuals

with an invaluable tool that can save precious treatment time and im-prove the odds of survival for victims of sudden cardiac arrest.

� e money donated to the Northshore Fire Department is used to purchase items that would not necessarily be included in the regular budget, but would be of great value to the com-munity at large. � ese new AED units are similar to those that you may have seen in schools, malls and other public places.

the coyote was doing, when you first observed it, and - the most impor-tant thing that we look at - is how the coyote reacts when it realizes it’s being observed by a human.”

Naturally a curious creature, coyotes aren’t combative in normal interactions and, more often than not, will run away if challenged. The WDFW suggests wav-ing your arms, throwing stones, shouting at the coyotes and making your-self larger by standing.

Trying to make the animals realize you are not prey is key. You can

also deter the animal with a powerful spray of water from a hose or by spray-ing them with a vinegar-filled water gun.

Do not run away. Like many predators, fleeing is often seen as a prey’s response. A slow backing away while making noise and seeming larger to the animal is a safer way to get away.

In order to deter coy-otes near a house, preven-tion is the best defense. While many internet neighborhood communi-ty groups have suggested predator urine as a means to scare coyotes off, this may actually be the worst course of action.

“One of the things we use to capture coyotes, when that’s necessary, is urine of several different types, including coyote, fox, [wolf and cougar] urine,” Cleland said. “Almost all urine is an at-tractant to coyotes.”

Instead of using urines, ensure the fence of the home is around four- to five-feet tall and, to deter diggers, place concrete blocks or metal wire mesh at the base of the fence and extending out a foot or two.

Those with outdoors pets, such as cats, dogs, or fowls, should bring them inside when it’s dark.

According to Cleland,

some of the best preven-tative medicine is to learn more about how coyotes live. Learning more about these native animals and how to live near them without issue is much more helpful than remov-ing the animals, as that only leaves a temporary void that will be filled with other coyotes.

The USDA Wildlife Services won’t send out an investigator either, but they do keep track of coy-ote sightings and may be able to answer questions about coyotes in the area. The USDA Wildlife Ser-vices unit can be reached at 360 - 337 - 2778.

[ COYOTE from page 1]

Coyotes, such as this one pictured in Kenmore, are curious animals that are seen quite often in our neighborhoods. According to the USDA Wildlife Services unit, the best way to deter these animals is to educate yourself about them. ELIZA STEVENS, Contributed

Everett Herald

Bruce Irvin is discussing his second season as a linebacker, talking

about how he has finally accepted that he is no longer a defensive end, when Cliff Avril interrupts from the next locker over.

“He ain’t bought in all the way,” Avril says with a laugh.

And Avril is right, as much as Irvin has improved as a linebacker this year, he is still in many ways a defensive end at heart, putting the act of hitting a quarterback above all else.

“I’ll always be a D-lineman at heart, but (linebacker) is fun,” said Irvin, who was drafted in the first round as an end in 2012, but moved to strongside linebacker last year.

In fact Irvin, who had 6.0 sacks this season while split-ting time between linebacker and pass rusher, says he’d still take a sack over an intercep-tion return for a touchdown.

It is a play that is the Holy Grail for many defensive players, and something Irvin has two of this year, including one in Seattle’s Week 17 win over St. Louis that clinched the NFC West title.

“That was fun, but I’d rather have a sack though,” he said. “I’d rather have two sacks. I’d take one and a half sacks over them two touch-downs. I need them sacks, man. I need ‘em. I need ‘em, man.”

But even if the pass-rushing element of his job is still Irvin’s first love, he is embracing his role at line-backer in a way he didn’t in 2013. It wasn’t that Irvin was bad last season, but he didn’t have the impact he has had this season. He is playing well against the run, making plays in coverage, making the right pre-snap adjustments, all while still getting those cher-ished sacks as a pass rusher.

“I feel like I’ve made a significant stride to becoming a good, consistent ‘backer,” Irvin said. “The biggest

thing with me was just being consistent. Last year I’d have a good game, then fall off two games, then have a good game. So that was the biggest thing for me was to try to stay consistent, and I think I’ve done that pretty well this year.”

Irvin said the biggest change as been “Just studying more. I wasn’t too sold on becoming a ‘backer, because I was a D-end all my life. So I really didn’t buy in last year like I was supposed to. But this year, I took it more seri-ously, I guess you could say,

studying my craft, trying to correct my mistakes.”

By thriving in a dual role this season, Irvin, who is arguably the team’s best pound-for-pound athlete, has overcome one of his perceived weaknesses coming out of West Virginia, where he was used as a situational pass rusher. Plenty of people liked Irvin’s upside in the 2012 draft, but not everyone was sold on the idea of him as a first-round pick. Seattle, however, used the No. 15 pick on Irvin, and he was effective, collecting 8.0 sacks, the most for a rookie that season, but as was the case in college, he was a part-time player.

This season, however, Irvin has played 70.8 percent of Seattle’s defensive snaps and his role has increased even more of late with him playing 84 percent or more of the snaps in each of the past three games. Against Carolina and mobile quarterback Cam Newton, who Irvin sacked twice earlier this season, Irvin figures to have a big role once

again when Seattle kicks off postseason play tomorrow night.

“I’m just doing the com-plete opposite of what my biggest knock was coming into the league — I was a one-dimensional pass rusher who couldn’t play the run,” Irvin said. “I think I’m prov-ing that I can play the run pretty good. Pass rushing is coming along, so I think I’m becoming a complete player if you ask me.”

The Seahawks were excited about the idea of Irvin as a linebacker when they made the move last season.

“When you look up the picture of a linebacker, his face shows up,” linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. said early last season. “We’re really excited, he’s going to do it all. He’s going to be rushing the passer, he’s going to be play-ing the run, he’s going to be buzzing to the flats, he’s going to be flying around.”

Bothell isn’t just about revitalization, though; it’s about the families of Both-ell � nding a new place to eat, play and enjoy life with those they love.

“We have noticed a lot of kids and that’s great,” said Chad Pagnac, general man-ager of Amaro Bistro. “We love to be able to take care

of the families in Bothell.”Being in Bothell, Amaro

Bistro has a di� erent vibe from its “big brother” Se-attle location, but the menu has IL Bistro written all over it. Many of the dishes are the same favorites fans have come to expect.

Not only did the hard

launch of Amaro Bistro happen this month, but IL Bistro’s 40th anniversary from Jan. 27-29. To cele-brate the occasion, IL Bistro in Seattle will be o� ering Lasagne and Cioppino at 1975 prices, $9 and $13 respectively, and may have a surprise guest bartender.

Amaro Bistro celebrated their Grand Opening on Jan. 8, with a ribbon cutting ceremony with refreshments and appetizers served afterwards. Amaro is the first restaurant to open as Bothell goes through its revitalization projects that will also include McMenamin’s and a new Bothell City Hall. DEANNA ISAACS, Bothell Reporter

The holiday season is behind

us, and while the cheering was a lot of fun, it is now time to go back to a healthier eating regimen, espe-cially if the scale indicates that you’ve been overdoing it a little.

Unfortunately, the pound or two you may

have acquired over the past few weeks tend to stick around and will not easily be gotten rid of even with dieting and exercise.

The reason is that most people

get used to eating more over the holidays, and while they plan to cut back after New Year,

they often still hold on to larger servings, which by now have become the new normal, says Dr. Brian Wansink, author of “Mindless Eating – Why We Eat More Than We Think” (Bantam Books, 2006) and lead researcher of a new study on the subject of holiday weight gain.

Following hundreds of families over an

extended period of time that included the holiday season, the researchers found that participants indeed bought more healthy foods like fruit and vegetables in the days after New Year but also kept eating junk like sug-ary snacks and fast food, which led to hundreds of additional calories, in some cases twice as many as they consumed during the holidays themselves. So much for good inten-tions.

The problem is that once people start eat-ing larger portions on special occasions, they tend to continue doing so, although they may believe they are not. Insidiously, it becomes a regular habit that leads to ever-increasing food consumption year after year, with all the well-known consequences of unhealthy weight gain,

says Dr. Wansink.And those consequenc-

es are no laughing matter. For both men and women it only gets harder to lose body fat as they grow older. Especially at meno-pause, most women begin to store more fat around the waist, even if they don’t get much heavier.

And as waistlines increase, so do a number of serious health risks, according to research conducted at Harvard University.

Abdominal, or vis-ceral, fat is of particular concern because it is a key factor in a variety of health problems, the study report warns. Vis-ceral fat, which is situated in the spaces between the abdominal organs, has been linked to cardio-vascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain forms of cancer.

The simplest way to

determine abdominal fat amounts is to measure your waist size. A waist circumference of 40+ inches for men, and 35+ inches for women is con-sidered an elevated health risk, although this can slightly vary by ethnicity. Also, abdominal fat can be problematic even in people whose Body-Mass-Index (BMI) is within a healthy range.

So, if you wonder where all the goodies from your recent celebrating have ended up, and your belly size gives you a clue, be advised that you have work to do.

Yes, real, not just per-ceived, reduction of food servings may be in order. But equally important is to improve the nutritional quality of your diet. In addition, greater efforts in the gym, the pool, or on the bike path may be required. Strength train-ing (a.k.a. weight lifting) is highly recommended. But foremost, make changes in your eating and lifestyle habits for the long run, so you don’t have to start over next time the holidays come around.

Seventeen NSD teachers receive National Board Certi� cation

Seventeen Northshore School District teachers have earned their National Board Certi� cation. Washing-ton state gained the most National Board Certi� ed Teachers (NBCTs) with 946 teachers achieving their cer-ti� cation in 2014. Fourteen percent of the Washington’s teaching workforce is now Board certi� ed.

� e following 17 North-shore teachers received their National Board Certi� cation this school year: Haakon Aasan, Canyon Park Junior High School, Science; Erin Marie Burke, Kokanee Elementary School, fourth grade; Alaina Marie Lyn Coons, Kokanee Elemen-tary School, third grade; Carly Jaeger Epler, Westhill Elementary School, fourth grade; Virginia Ruth Kro-chmalny, Woodinville High School, Counselor; Matthew Lang, Northshore Junior High School, Math; Kjerstin Nordtvedt Lee, Skyview Junior High School, Coun-selor; Christen McEwen, Kokanee Elementary School, � rst grade; Elizabeth Methot, Canyon Park Junior High School, Counselor; Darren Joseph Meucci, Leota Junior High School, Music; Kelly A Mezich, Frank Love El-ementary School, � � h grade; Ailisa Newhall, Canyon Park Junior High School, Choir; Jeanne M Schmidt, Ingle-moor High School, CLC; Jennifer Frederick Shibaya-ma, Canyon Park Junior High School, Science and Math; Kaitlin Marie Vagt, Canyon Creek Elementary School, third grade; Jessica Hemm Van Deusen, Shelton View Elementary School, fourth grade; and William Ryan Weaver, Fernwood Elementary School, fourth grade.

� e National Board for Professional Teaching Stan-dards certi� cation process is widely recognized as a sym-

bol of accomplished profes-sional practice and identi� es quali� ed teachers as leaders in their � eld. Teachers dem-onstrate their knowledge and skills through a series of performance-based assess-ments. � e insight gained from these assessments enhances and validates practices that promote and encourage student learning.

Survey on mascot, school colors for North Creek High School

Construction of North Creek High School in north Bothell, the district’s new comprehensive high school, is underway and scheduled to open in the fall of 2017. � e district is beginning the process of selecting North Creek’s mascot and school colors, and welcomes suggestions from students, parents, sta� and commu-nity members.

A survey will run through June 30, to gather input on the best mascot and colors for North Creek. � e North Creek High School planning principal and a committee of students will select the school’s mascot and colors in the fall of 2015.

More information, includ-ing important rules for pro-viding input and a link to the survey, is available at www.nsd.org/northcreekmascot.

Dean receives prestigious engineering award

Elaine Scott, Dean of UW Bothell’s School of Science, Technology, Engineer-ing and Mathematics, was recently named a recipient of the Distinguished Engineer-ing Alumni Medal (DEAM) at the University of Califor-nia, Davis.

� e DEAM is an alumni award from UC Davis’ Col-lege of Engineering. At a ceremony in February, Scott will be recognized for 15 years or more of industry, academic or public ser-vice experience, as well as her record of outstanding

achievements. According to the college, the award also recognizes distinguished service to the College of Engineering, the engineering profession, or the commu-nity.

Scott said she is honored to receive the award.

“I really love UC Davis and cherish my experience there. To be a recipient of this award is extremely surprising and humbling,” said Scott.

Scott earned her un-dergraduate and master’s degrees in agricultural engineering from UC Davis, in 1979 and 1981. She then pursued her doctoral degrees in agricultural en-gineering and mechanical engineering from Michigan State University, in 1990. Since Scott’s arrival at UW Bothell in 2012, science and technology education has risen to regional and national prominence. Under Scott’s leadership, the School of STEM has experienced tremendous growth and achievements. � ree new de-grees and six new programs were launched, while the number of full-time STEM students increased by more than forty percent within the past year.

During Scott’s tenure, the School of STEM has secured more than $1.8 million in funding and research proposals have increased by 46 percent. � is has resulted in several awards, including the school’s � rst Fulbright Award and two National Sci-ence Foundation CAREER awards.

Scott is one of few women in the � eld of engineering. In her role as Dean, she is

charged with encouraging other women to pursue a degree in engineering and other STEM � elds. “From a purely economic stance, as a country, we can’t a� ord to look for ideas from a small population,” Scott says. “In order for our country to reach its fullest, it is critical that the whole population becomes involved, men and women. Women in par-ticular have an incredible opportunity in the � eld of engineering and STEM, we are all needed.”

Shelley to lead information technology at UW Bothell

A� er a national search, Joe Shelley of Kirkland has been selected to lead the information technology department at the University of Washington Bothell. Shel-ley will serve as assistant vice chancellor for information technology and chief infor-mation o� cer. In that role, he will direct UW Bothell’s eLearning and instructional technology programs as well as oversee central IT func-tions and support services.

Shelley is a UW Bothell alumnus (’04, IAS Global Studies) who has held the position in an interim role since February.

“Joe has a strong com-mitment to supporting teaching and learning on our campus, and he possesses an impressive understanding of national trends, includ-ing data management, risk management and informa-tion assurance,” said Susan Je� ords, vice chancellor for academic a� airs. “His passion and dedication to serving the mission of UW Bothell is evident.”

Shelley joined UW Bothell in 2005 and has held posi-tions of increasing respon-sibility and complexity since then. He was selected as an EDUCAUSE/CLIR Leading Change Institute Fellow in 2014 and has been a frequent presenter with EDUCAUSE.

UW Bothell is the fastest

growing public, four-year university in the state of Washington and the sixth fastest in the nation. With enrollment of nearly 5,000 and full classrooms, UW Bothell is exploring ways to leverage technology – including eLearning and hybrid classes – to meet the growing demand.

McAuli� e retains position on K-12 committee

Sen. Rosemary McAuli� e, D-Bothell, will remain the ranking Democrat on the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education committee when the 2015 Legisla-ture convenes in January. McAuli� e represents the 1st Legislative District which straddles both King and Snohomish counties. � e district is home to Bothell.

McAuli� e will also serve as a member on the Senate Natural Resources & Parks committee and act as the Caucus Vice Chair.

High school students: Take MLK as a day “on” not a day “o� ”

In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Life’s most persistent and urgent ques-tion is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” On Jan. 19, ap-proximately 250 high school students will answer this call to action as part of the annual MLK Day of Service in Snohomish County and

Bothell area students are especially needed.

During this day of service, teen volunteers can choose from di� erent hands-on projects throughout Sno-homish County. Projects range from helping seniors in their homes, to planting trees and building raised � ower beds, to sorting and organizing supplies for area nonpro� ts. Teams of students will be led by adult volunteers.

Marking its sixth year in Snohomish County, MLK Day of Service brings high school students and com-munity volunteers together to serve the most vulnerable members of our community, transforming Dr. King’s life mission and teachings into community service.

Organizations like school clubs, scout troops and service groups who want to volunteer together are highly encouraged to register as a team. Teens can also register individually, too.

More details and registra-tion information is online at www.uwsc.org/mlkday.php. For Instagram, Twitter and Facebook users, the hashtag for the event is #MLKDay-SnoCo.

MLK Day of Service in Snohomish County is a part-nership of United Way of Snohomish County, YMCA of Snohomish County, Catholic Community Servic-es, Senior Corps-RSVP, and United Parcel Service.

How to volunteerVolunteers must sign

up by Jan. 12 to partici-pate. Teens aged 14-19 can register online at www.uwsc.org/mlkday.php or contact United Way’s Youth United program at [email protected] or 425-374-5530. Volunteer slots at speci� c projects are on a space-avail-able basis.

Adult volunteers are also needed to lead each group of teen volunteers. If interested in volunteering to lead a team, email Michelle Morris at [email protected].

NEW WORSHIP TIME!

Sunday Worship – 10 AM

Seattleites, and those in the surrounding Puget Sound and

Lake Washington communities, are eco-friendly and green. (Note: This is by no means an extreme under-statement…). For those who want to be green on the roads, but also keep their pocket book in mind, there is now a minicar for you.

The 2015 Mitsubishi iMiEV is a fully electric minicar with a range of around 60 miles. This

five-door hatch starts at around $23,000, but if you subtract the Federal

Tax Credit for Electric Ve-hicles of $7,500 for the iMiEV, you’re looking at spending around $15,000 for a fully electric car.

That’s about the same price as

that 15-year-old Subaru Impreza you were looking at and much cheaper than any other brand new EVs – or brand new vehicle, at that price…

For a little over $15K,

the iMiEV comes with everything you need from a daily driver for what you do on the roads. You have heat, a radio, plenty of room for everything you do and all the little ones… Plus heated seats, an option that is super amazing in the winter.

The back seats are spa-cious in head-room and the leg-room isn’t bad with the front-seat set for my 5-feet, 5-inches. I could get in and out of the back easily with room to spare for knees of taller people.

However, it is only a four-person car. There’s a rather uncomfortable-looking plastic bit in the center of the rear seats, so five-person families beware.

There are airbags of plenty, so your family will be safe and sound from front and the side via curtain airbags.

The hatch offers lots of space for storage of groceries or pets, and the back seats fold down to accommodate larger items.

The aesthetics of the iMiEV are pleasing, the front bumper smiles at you whenever you come towards it, but the interior looks a bit too plastic. Not much money spent on the inside.

Remember, though: Cheapest EV car in America.

And that’s huge! In the last several weeks, I’ve started seeing more and more iMiEV’s on the road – they’re cheap to purchase and cheap to power.

Having an electric motor and single-speed transmission, you’ll be propelled swiftly from stop to the speed limit – though watch yourself, these little things are zippy in normal drive mode. Luckily, the regen-erative braking will help you recharge part of your battery while on the go – not much, but a little.

There are three settings to the transmission, cho-sen from the gear selec-tor: D for normal driving, Eco for battery-saving, and B for greater regen-erative braking.

The rear-wheel drive is a plus, too, as it adds a little bit of fun in your daily drive as you silently propel yourself forward.

Other than that, the iMiEV is rather spartan. The interior, while nice, isn’t luxurious. The USB is a nice touch (though not in the model I drove), and the speakers are great, but there’s no Sirius radio or bluetooth con-nectivity.

Then again, it’s market-

ed as America’s Cheapest Electric Vehicle, so for the price, you’re getting a car with zero emissions and all the eco-friendliness you can handle.

The big question is charge versus range. Don’t be fooled by the MPG equivelancy (MPGe); that’s based off an equa-tion to help consumers understand the amount of power used compared to a gas vehicle. What you want to pay attention to is range, which is about 60 miles for the iMiEV.

It charges quickly and cheaply around town at any of the many DC level three charging stations (my favorites are the Blink! stations at Fred Meyer stores) where one can charge a nearly dead battery to 80 percent in around 30 minutes. At home and on a normal, grounded wall outlet, it can take around 20 hours for charging a dead bat-tery to full.

So, if you want to lower your carbon footprint but not spend your life savings, then head over to Mit-subishi and get yourself an iMiEV.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye 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 cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
