Gov. Jay Inslee told Phil-ips Healthcare employees that their newest product is epic during a visit to Bothell on Oct. 23.

“When most people think of the great sound of Washington state, they think of Bing Crosby or

Jimi Hendrix,” Inslee told Philips Healthcare em-ployees. “I think of Philips Healthcare ... � e EPIQ is epic.”

Inslee visited the Philips Healthcare manufacturing building to help the com-pany with the launch of its new generation of ultra-sound machine called the EPIQ and received a tour

of the plant. � e EPIQ was o� cially unveiled in August.

EPIQ will be used by cardiologists, radiologists and OBGYNs in every-thing from detecting heart issues to watching the growth of unborn babies during pregnancy.

“You are building a product made of plastic

and metal,” Inslee told the workers prior to his tour. “But what you are re-ally creating is birthdays because they save lives. Thank you on behalf of 6.5 million Washingto-nians.”

� e Kenmore woman accused of hitting and killing a man with a pickup truck Monday told police she was trying to light a cigarette at the time of the accident.

Sydney Katelane Jones, 24, was charged with felony hit-and-run Oct. 25 in the death

of Kenmore resident Joseph David Humphreys. She was released from King County Jail on $25,000 bail.

Jones does not have a valid driver’s license in Washing-ton state and reported to Court Services that she is attending out-patient sub-stance abuse treatment.

She is accused of hitting Humphreys, 31, a� er mid-

night on Oct. 22 while “driv-ing to the store,” south in the 18400 block of 62nd Ave. NE. Humphreys was also walking south on the side of the Kenmore street, which has no sidewalks. Jones al-legedly struck Humphreys with the front right side of the truck, causing damage to the hood of the vehicle, front headlight and side mirror,

according to court docu-ments.

Jones called 911 at ap-proximately 1:26 a.m. to

report that she was out walking her dog and found an unconscious man on the side of the road. She stated that the “body was all twisted and looked like he was hit by a car because she could see car parts on the ground,” the documents continue.

Humphreys was pro-nounced dead at the scene by emergency personnel.

Jones spoke with a deputy and never identi� ed herself as the driver of the truck that struck the man. � e deputy told Jones she was no longer needed at the scene and she walked home.

Police used a part number from some of the debris found at the scene to identify the vehicle that hit Hum-

Governor sets Apple Cup deadline for transportation billBY MATT PHELPS AND BRANDON MACZ

Reporter Newspapers

The annual football game between the University of

Washington and Wash-ington State University is a rivalry that has a long tradition. The Apple Cup often pits brother against brother and one side of the state against the other. But there is another tradition that sometimes pits Eastern Washington against Western Washing-

ton - state transportation funding.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee says he wants to see a transportation bill on his desk before the 2013 Apple Cup is over. He also wants it to be a bipartisan effort that identifies the $10 billion in revenue sources needed to keep the state’s roads and bridges from failing. That could be as difficult as getting through traffic to Husky stadium for the

Most people have never driven a

car onto the top of a building. So for some bystanders it was a bit surprising to see an 84-year-old woman drive her car onto the top of a Bothell apart-ment complex on the a� ernoon of Oct. 22.

The woman was in the drive-through at the Chase Bank in downtown Bothell when she lost control of her car.

“She drove across the parking lot and through the fence,” said Both-ell Police Cpt. Denise Langford. “She went over the embankment. When she came to a stop, her back tires were in the parking lot and her front tires were on the top of the laundry facility of the apartment complex.”

� e apartment

complex is across the street from Pop Keeney Stadium and next to the back of Seattle Home Appliance.

Langford said the Bothell Police Depart-ment received the call at 2:45 p.m. and tra� c enforcement responded to the accident. A tow truck had to be called to remove the Hyundai from the scene.

“Luckily, there were no injuries in this case,” said Langford.

� e woman submit-ted to a blood draw to determine if she was in-toxicated but the results of those tests have not been released. � e only damage at the scene was to the fence and the car.

Langford said that these kinds of incidents are rare.

“I remember one several years ago when someone drove a car into their mobile home,” said Langford. “You don’t see this all that o� en.”

hood of Bothell on the east side of Interstate 405. The company employs 2,000 people in Bothell and produces oral health-care products and cardiac care and AED equipment, along with ultrasounds.

“Philips is a well kept secret in the state,” said Conrad Smits, senior vice president and gen-eral manager of Philips Ultrasound. “We are the market leader in echocar-diography.”

Philips is the second-largest ultrasound pro-ducer in the world and makes all of it’s ultra-sound systems in Wash-ington state.

“We want to change the course of healthcare through sound,” Smits said. “It’s what gets me up in the morning.”

Inslee said that produc-ing the diagnostic ma-chines is also helping to curb healthcare costs.

“It makes health-care more afford-able when we can diagnose health problems earlier and keep people out of the hospital,” said Inslee.

Inslee presented Smits with an apple pin, pro-claiming the employees of the Philips Healthcare plant in Bothell “Wash-

ingtonians of the Day.” The pin is a tradition and an honor that the gover-nor bestows each day to highlight great accom-plishments in the state.

He also talked about the health-care industry’s impact on the Washington state

economy.“We have 90,000

people in the life science field in Washington state and you are part of that incredible infrastructure,” said Inslee. “This part of the economy grew at 10

percent even through the recession.”

He even compared it to many of the biggest indus-tries in the state.

“We are proud of Boe-ing airplanes and $4 cups of coffee,” he said, spark-ing laughter. “And today we are proud of Philips.”

During the tour, Inslee, cloaked in a blue lab coat, was shown how the EPIQ is assembled during a walk through of the manufacturing plant.

“� e performance is mind-numbing,” Director of research and develop-

ment Dan Schmiesing told Inslee during the tour.

He watched as an ultrasonographer, Joyce MacKay, tested the new machine on herself.

“Is your heart beating faster? I have that effect on people,” Inslee joked.

MacKay showed the governor some of the images of her heart and the different information that doctors can obtain about a patient using the machine.

“Thanks for keeping our hearts going,” Inslee told MacKay.

Two families were irrevocably changed on Oct. 21 and the sad thing is that the type of accident that took place could have been

prevented.Kenmore resident Joseph David Humphreys

was struck and killed by the driver of a Ford F-150 around midnight on the morning of Oct. 21. He was doing something that most Kenmore residents do daily or weekly - walk on the side of the road. He was just 31 years old.

� e suspected driver of that vehicle is also a Kenmore resident. Sydney Katelane Jones told police she was trying to light her cigarette when she felt a bump in the road. She looked up and saw nothing. If convicted of felony hit-and-run, Jones family will only be seeing the 24-year-old woman in prison for the foreseeable future. � e penalty is up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 � ne.

Two families irrevocably changed in a split second.

It is no secret that many Kenmore roads are unsafe for pedestrians. � ose pedestrians include kids walking to school, adults waiting for the bus, walking to the drugstore or just walking to a friend’s house. Without sidewalks, pedestrians o� en get forced into the road by garbage cans, parked cars and other obstructions.

Most drivers, from time-to-time, get distracted while on the road. Whether it is driving while sleepy, changing the song on the stereo, tend-ing to children in the back seat or just looking at something out the side window when their eyes should be on the road, we all do it. But doing it in Kenmore might be more dangerous than other cities because of the lack of sidewalks.

Kenmore was incorporated as a city in 1998 and has added 13.5 miles of sidewalks during that time. � e Kenmore City Council recently passed a 20-year plan to construct sidewalks within the city. While that plan was well-intentioned and � scally responsible, it is going to take way too long. � e loss of a Kenmore resident should be a wake-up call to every person who lives in the city.

� e lack of sidewalks was a dominant topic dur-ing the Kenmore City Council candidate forum held Oct. 15. Council incumbent Allan Van Ness suggested a possible bond measure to send to voters. � e bond measure would add to taxes and would be costly for citizens. Van Ness also stated that it costs $1 million for every mile of sidewalks. It is estimated that it will cost $36 million for the sidewalks. � at is no small sum. In comparison, Kenmore City Hall cost $14.4 million.

Safety is one of the biggest responsibilities of the city government. Mayor David Baker told the Reporter that the city has put $12 million into the State Route 522 upgrade, in part, for safety concerns. Baker also said that he would consider supporting a bond measure for the sidewalks.

Many Reporter readers have written to the paper about tra� c safety in the days a� er the Oct. 21 accident. Kenmore resident Sandy French wrote to the Reporter to remind her neighbors that there are some things that pedestrians need to keep in mind to stay safe while walking and

driving. Many of French’s ideas are common sense things that people do not think about when they leave the house. Always walk facing oncom-ing tra� c so you can see what is coming. Wear light colored clothing while walking at night so drivers can see you.

“I have seen and had so many close calls, espe-cially at night when walkers and folks on bikes are virtually invisible,” French wrote.

If you go out walking a lot, buy a re� ective vest to wear and not just at night.

Drivers need to use their regular headlights, not high beams, while driving in the fog or rain. If you have fog lights, use them. Drivers should also obey all the normal rules of the road, such as coming to a full stop at stop signs and crosswalks. And please, watch out for pedestrians.

Don’t let Humphrey’s death be in vain. Get involved and let your council members know if pedestrian safety is a priority for you. And if noth-ing else, stay alert while walking and driving, for everyone’s safety.

Keep your hands off the tree by City Hall

Now I am upset. In 1974 I was chair of the Bothell Park Board. The board put a park in the triangle property at the corner of State Route 522 and 527 (Baskin Robbins) in honor of Rich Worthington’s son who was killed in the war. The property was owned by Vern Keener of Keener Meats and donated to the city of Bothell for the Triangle Park.

The Lion’s Club put in the drinking fountain, Rich Worthington of Bothell State Bank put up the flag pole and I planted the tree. This was a very special tree with a history. The tree was a blood red maple, grafted by Aire Osterwick and sold to Jack Leamer who owned Rhod-A-Zalea Gardens. I bought Rhod-A-Zalea Gardens and ended up with the tree. I lent the

tree to the Worlds Fair in Seattle in 1963. When I brought it home I called Ron Nardone and we planted the tree in Triangle Park. The tree was healthy; it bloomed every fall bright red. It looked like it was on fire. For years, Tony Van Denacker took cuttings from that tree. He loved that tree.

My question is: what is going on? If I had only known, the tree could have been moved and been put somewhere else. I sure hope whoever made that decision is proud of himself or herself.

Now let me tell you I planted one more tree in town and it is a weeping Alaska cedar in front of City Hall. I don’t care if you have to build the City Hall around it. Keep your hands off it.

Jim McAuliffe, Bothell

Disagree with banning fireworks

While I understand the concern about fireworks and the reasons for the effort to ban

them, I’m in total disagreement with that effort.

Yes, the noise and flashes of light can “bring to mind battles … ”

Yes, property is placed at risk. Yes, personal safety is also at

risk. Yes, animals suffer. Yes, many more items can even

be placed on this list, and yes, these are all very valid problems.

Is the only solution to place a ban on fireworks? No. Banning things has never solved a problem. Throughout history, banning things only creates a whole new set of problems that will need to be solved. We can go back and forth showing examples of why each set has more validity but that won’t solve them either.

There is a solution to every one of the things on this list. And yes, there is a solution for that whole new list as well. A blanket ban is not one of them.

Focusing our attention on cel-ebrating the Fourth of July safely and responsibly will lessen all the risks and suffering. That’s the solution I choose.

Kelly Clark, Bothell

Fireworks letter is self-centered

I had to chuckle when I read the letter “Keep Fire-works Legal in Bothell” because it was all about me, me, me and don’t

ruin my fun. To be frank, it seemed childish and self-

centered.The public good should be that

we remain safe and that the well-being of everyone be considered when deciding matters of city policy and law. The writer of this letter clearly had little to no re-gard for his neighbors, let alone the community at large.

It’s no secret that fireworks can be harmful and deadly, cause

PUBLIC NOTICES

[ LETTERS from page 4]

BY MATT PHELPS

[email protected]

A Bothell lawyer filed a complaint with the Washing-

ton State Public Disclo-sure Commission against City Council candidate Tris Samberg on Oct. 24. The complaint alleges four PDC violations but Samberg said that only one of the complaints is valid and was an oversight from her 2011 campaign.

The complaint, filed by Steven J. Fields, states that Samberg violated PDC rules in December of 2011 when she failed to file the last C-4 report in her 2011 campaign against current Both-ell Mayor Mark Lamb. Samberg, who occupied Position 2 on the council, chose not to run for re-election for that seat and instead challenged Lamb for Position 6.

After losing to Lamb,

Samberg was required to file her last C-4 by Dec. 10, 2011. A C-4 is used to report total contributions and expenditures for a defined period and over-all campaign. Samberg did not file the form until June 17, 2013.

“[The issue] is valid, and was an oversight

and mistake on my part, with the 2011 campaign being my first time reporting to the PDC as a ‘full-reporting’ candidate,” Sam-berg said. “I made several first-timer mistakes during

the 2011 campaign, in-cluding ‘contributing’ in-stead of ‘loaning’ money to my campaign, which required me to carry-over $544.99 to the 2013 cam-paign. Ironically, I spent less than $5,000 in the 2011 campaign, which had I not selected ‘full-reporting’ and not given my campaign money I didn’t use, I wouldn’t

have had to do any PDC reporting at all beyond the initial C-1 and F-1. Again, these first-timer mistakes worked to my disadvantage, but were certainly not intended to deceive the public.”

Field’s complaint goes on to allege that Sam-berg filed her C-1 form late during the current campaign.

The form, which is a political committee registration form, was to be filed by May 31 and the complaint states that Samberg filed the form on June 17.

“I filed my initial C-1 on May 30 in a timely fashion,” Samberg said. “I also requested a timely change to full-reporting on June 18 and was granted that request on June 20.”

The Reporter has con-firmed Samberg’s infor-mation regarding the C-1 report with the PDC website.

Fields’s third complaint alleges that Samberg

filed her F-1, or personal financial affairs form, 15 days late.

“I attempted to file the F-1 electronically but unknowingly failed to complete the transac-tion,” said Samberg. “The PDC staff member said this was a ‘common mis-take’ compounded by the fact that you can’t check your F-1 online. When I received the letter that

they didn’t have my F-1 on file, I mailed a printed copy to the office.”

The final complaint by Fields states that in 2011 Samberg failed to report contributions, which she subsequently made to her 2013 campaign.

“[The PDC] confirmed that I correctly reported my 2011 contribution to my 2013 campaign on my June 18 C-4 statement,

so Mr. Fields is also wrong on that complaint,” said Samberg. “When I discovered that I had not correctly closed my 2011 campaign in June, I asked the PDC staff member to walk me through the pro-cess to make sure I had closed the 2011 campaign and reported the funds correctly to the 2013 campaign.”

fires and property dam-age, frequently offend others and disrupt lives, terrify babies, and hurt the ears of both persons and pets. And what about the mess that folks who use them leave behind for the rest of us to clean up?

Personally, I want to be able to have company over to celebrate the Fourth of July without having to scream at each other to be heard. It has gotten ridiculous. Now that so many other town councils have had the common sense to ban these loud toys, why should Bothell become the dumping ground for this racket so that we can’t have even have one peaceful moment?

It’s time for the city officials to do their job and make Bothell fire-works-free so the rest of us can sit back and enjoy the holiday. Life isn’t always fair or pleasing to everyone, and sometimes that means “sacrificing” for others to be a kind citizen.Nancy Kasper, Bothell

Many things have changed during the past few

years through Kenmore and Lake Forest Park around State Route 522. Everything from popu-lation growth to tolls on the 520 bridge have increased traffic volumes along the busy arterial. Now, SR-522 will change too.

The Washington State Department of Transpor-tation (WSDOT) took ac-tion on Oct. 22 by lower-ing the speed limit from 45 to 40 mph. Crews were out replacing signs, which will be adorned with orange flags to alert drivers of the change.

“It better matches the condition of the roadway,” said WS-DOT spokesman Bart

Treece. “We do speed limit reviews of roadways routinely and it more accurately reflects the conditions.”

One of the biggest rea-sons for the change is the higher volumes of traffic on the road, preventing drivers from going a high rate of speed. Studies on traffic volume and aver-age speed of cars on the road, along with requests from each city, has moved the changes forward.

The Kenmore City Council voted to re-duce the speed limit last month. But since the road is a state highway, it had to have state approval.

“We have been asking them to for some time now,” said Kenmore May-or David Baker. “Some of us on the council have been trying to do this since 2004.”

But some on the Ken-

more City Council would have liked to see the speed reduced even more.

“The speed limit through Bothell and Shoreline on SR-522 is 35 miles per hour,” said Baker. “That is the speed that I would have liked to see, but this is a start.”

Baker said that for the council it is a matter of safety for Kenmore residents. Just last month a woman was trying to exit from a dental office on SR-522 in the 5700 block and was struck by a Metro bus. The woman had to be airlifted to Harborview Medical Center because it oc-curred at rush hour and the helicopter ride was the only way to get her to the hospital in a timely fashion.

But WSDOT officials cautioned that the road is not dangerous.

“We always look at collisions,” said Mark Leth with the WSDOT. “It is right in range for the three-year average for a higher-volume arterial like this.”

And while 40 is higher than the speed limits in Shoreline and Bothell, the stretch through Kenmore is a lot different with fewer stop lights than in Bothell and almost all straight and flat.

“It doesn’t travel the same,” said Leth. “At 40 miles per hour it is closer in speed but they travel differently.”

Leth said that there has been an increase in traffic on SR-522 since tolling began on the 520 bridge last year but that the study looked at traffic volume increases a lot further back when com-ing to the conclusion to lower the speed limit.

“There has been quite a bit of development in that area,” said Leth.

But SR-522 is not the only road with a speed decrease. The main thor-oughfare in Kenmore of 80th Avenue Northeast, which runs north from Bothell Way, will also see a speed limit reduction from 40 to 35 mph. Those

new speed limit signs will be placed this month.

“In recent years, we have seen much addi-tional residential con-struction, children and increased traffic on 80th and safety has been a big concern,” said Kenmore Councilman Allan Van Ness in a comment on a local Facebook page.

Some residents emo-tions got the best of them while addressing the Kenmore City Council on Monday night. About 12 Kenmore neighbors gath-ered during the regularly scheduled city council meeting to ask their elect-ed o� cials to take action a� er Kenmore resident Joseph David Humphreys was hit and killed in their neighborhood on Oct. 22.

“We gathered a� er the meeting and we really could not leave because

we were overwhelmed at the lack of acknowledge-ment and action that they will take,” said Kenmore resident Stephanie Kram-brink.

Kenmore Mayor David Baker said that the council shares the neighbors’ concerns.

“� ere is a prescribed procedure that we have to go through to do these things,” said Baker. “I am seriously just as frustrated at how long it takes to do something but it takes time. � e council is very worried about safety. � is is why we have a concrete

plan for sidewalks.”One of the biggest is-

sues for candidates during this election season for Kenmore City Council has been the length of the 20-year plan that the city has adopted. Baker points out that the plan is to secure sidewalks around schools � rst so that children, who walk along the streets the most, are safe.

� e citizens who spoke

at the meeting during the public comment portion were emotional when talking about Humphrey’s

death and the safety of their loved ones as they asked for speed bumps, signage, re� ec-tors and other speed mitigation items for the street.

“We know sidewalks are expensive,” said Krambrink. “But

this has been a concern for years. I want to know,

is this process or law? Because if it is law it needs to be revisited.”

For Krambrink, much of the meeting was about frustration.

“We weren’t told about ‘a process’ a year ago when we brought this up,” said Krambrink. “If we would have something might be in place right now.”

Krambrink claims that the streets in the area have become busier since a light was installed at the intersection of Remington Drive and 61st Avenue Northeast a few months ago. She claims that driv-

ers have begun to use 62nd Avenue Northeast as a shortcut, driving fast on a road that has little room for error.

Neighbors are also worried about their kids who stand on the side of the road to wait for school buses. One of the neigh-bors invited council mem-bers out to the site where Humphreys was killed and to walk the road.

Krambrink said that Baker accepted the invita-tion and plans to meet with the neighbors this morning to discuss the issue further.

Apple Cup itself.“November is the month

for action here,” Inslee told a room full of Sound Publish-ing editors and reporters on Oct. 25. “Actually, April and May were the months.”

� e governor said he is disappointed the Senate was unable to come up with a transportation bill a� er six months while the House passed its legislation. Senate Republicans opted not to ap-prove the House bill in favor of launching a listening tour in Washington to explore ways to � nd savings through reforms before pushing for tax increases.

Inslee said that the House bill would have al-located $8.5 million for State Route 522, which goes through both Bothell and Kenmore and is used by many to bypass tolls on the 520 bridge.

Kenmore Mayor David Baker said that the city has spent $12 million on SR-522 improve-ments. State routes are normally maintained by the state government. Baker said that the city could not wait for the state to get around to the project.

“How long should we wait?” asked Baker. “� ere are safety issues and we need

to make sure it is safe for Kenmore residents.”

Tolling was a big topic of the meeting between Inslee and Reporter sta� members. Toll mitigation issues for Lake Washington bridges not only concern Northshore residents but also residents in Renton, the other bypass route, and those living on Mercer Island.

“We have seen an increase of about 12 percent in tra� c volumes on 522,” said Baker.

Some state lawmakers are looking at adding a toll to the I-90 bridge to complete fund-ing e� orts for the 520 bridge. � e I-90 � oating bridge and the I-90 East Channel bridge

are the only ways on and o� Mercer Island and many residents are � ght-ing the idea of a toll.

“I get emails from people on Mercer Island asking me for help,” said Baker, who thinks that a toll on I-90 will only exacerbate the issues with elevated tra� c volumes on SR-522.

Toll mitigation for Ken-more and Bothell, and cities such as Lake Forest Park and even Woodinville, is a big issue.

All the cities signed a letter to Inslee in March requesting toll mitigation.

Inslee pointed out that Kenmore received a $5.2 mil-lion grant from the Wash-

ington State Transportation Improvement Board this summer.

Tra� c volume increases also impact other roads through the four cities, in-cluding the Sammamish Riv-er Bridge in Kenmore, which links the neighborhoods of Inglewood and Finn Hill with downtown Kenmore and SR-522. � e west span of the bridge was built in 1938 and needs to be replaced. It would cost an estimated $20 million for the project.

“I have seen a bridge col-lapse,” said Inslee, referring to the Skagit River Bridge collapse in May. “And [the Sammamish River Bridge] is a perfect example of a bridge that needs the funding. It is why we need a transportation bill.”

Inslee pointed out that the Skagit River Bridge, which was supposed to take six months to re-open, was repaired and opened in just a month. Inslee gave the credit to the new head of the Washington State Depart-ment of Transportation, Lynn Peterson, who sat in on the meeting.

Inslee said that Peterson is implementing reforms within the department, such as improvements to permitting processes, cutting fat from projects and streamlining maintenance.

What the state doesn’t need, said the governor, is

to channel sales tax revenue from the general fund to the transportation fund, as Republican lawmakers have proposed, or removing sales tax from transportation projects entirely. � at would mean stripping more money from education, Inslee said, which is a step backward in ful� lling the Washington Su-preme Court’s ruling the state needs to invest $3-4 billion more into education.

“� e � rst order of business is, don’t dig the hole any deeper,” Inslee said. “� ere are people in one of the caucuses who suggested that let’s just dig that hole another $400 million deeper and take that money from the general fund that’s generated by sales tax from construction proj-

ects and move that money into the transportation fund. … It’s a scienti� c principle, once you are in the hole, stop digging.”

While the governor said there are various avenues for approving a transporta-tion plan, he doesn’t want to prejudge how the House and Senate will reach its � nal destination. Closing tax loopholes would be one method of cost savings, said Inslee, using as an example a tax exemption approved for the timber industry that oil and gas companies also are utilizing.

� e governor painted a bleak picture for the state should a transportation plan not be approved before the Apple Cup, which occurs on Black Friday. In King County, public transportation would be a� ected � rst.

“� e � rst thing that’s going to hit them between the eyes is the elimination of bus service, and that has an economic toll on our state,” said Inslee. “It makes it more frustrating to get to work in the morning, but it also takes an economic toll on our state. � at means companies don’t move here because conges-tion increases. It means that workers are stuck in tra� c, so they show up to work later because they used to be able to take a reliable bus to work. Now, they’re waiting in their car sitting in a tra� c jam

waiting to get to Microso� . It takes economic productivity out of the state.”

Inslee said he understands the frustration of King Coun-ty residents facing potential tolling of the I-90 bridge between Interstate 5 in Seattle and Interstate 405 in Bellevue to make up the $1.4 billion shortfall for completion of the 520 bridge project. He added the collapse of the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River earlier this year highlights the importance of proper maintenance.

Tolling I-90 is an uncer-tainty, and there are several options being considered, including 11 alternatives that would mitigate the impact to Mercer Islanders. Increas-ing the state gas tax is also a possibility.

“� ey need to talk to their legislators now about this issue,” he said. “And here’s the reason: � e more they convince legislators to � nd a solution that is not tolling, the better o� they are. � e more they convince their legislators to raise the $1.4 billion for 520 in some other way, which might mean a gas tax, it might mean licensing fees, what-ever their other solution is, the less pressure there will be on tolling.”

But other means of paying for the 520 bridge, like a gas tax, may not be an easy sell in Eastern Washington.

phreys as a Ford F-150 pickup truck.

Detectives received a phone call at 1:34 p.m. from Jones’s mother ad-vising that her daughter may have been involved in the accident. Jones and her mother then went to Kenmore City Hall, where she turned herself in to police. She told police she was “probably driving a little faster than she should have. She was lighting her cigarette when she felt a bump. She looked up and did not see anything.”

Jones continued on to the store where she acci-dentally hit a light pole.

“She got out of the truck and saw the dam-age. She thought that it was a lot of damage for a little hit,” the documents continue. After returning home she went for a walk to see what she had hit in the road.

She said that after hear-ing media reports that police were looking for a Ford truck “it made sense to her that she was the one.”

Jones lived in Arizona from 2011 until March of this year, when she began living with her parents in Kenmore.

She has no known

criminal history but did receive a speeding ticket in December of 2008 and a traffic violation for following too close in De-

cember of 2010, accord-ing to court documents.

Jones will be arraigned on Nov. 7 at King County Superior Court.

Merriam-Webster de� nes apprecia-tion as, “To

understand the worth or importance of something or some-one; to admire and value, or be grateful for.”

So, have you appre-ciated a child lately? Kids of all ages enjoy compliments, even sometimes di� cult teenagers. And kids especially appreci-ate it when you sing their praises to others.

I have heard parents com-plain o� en of ungrateful kids, and I have witnessed kids be

ungrateful. � e truth is that kids learn to be appreciative

by watching oth-ers, especially their parents.

As parents, it’s easy to get caught in the day-to-day temper tantrums, arguments and homework struggles, and forget the things

you really appreciate about your child or teen. Likewise, kids feel lower self-worth when they are not valued, or frequently reminded of what they need to do, or what they aren’t doing.

Slow downParents will � nd it more

di� cult to feel appreciative of their children if they obsess on what is done wrong or get stuck in worry over grades, eating right and behaving right.

In the moments when you want to tell your child what to do or make a critical remark, stop yourself. Make a con-scious e� ort to think about the things your child is doing well or what you are thankful for about them and how you can express it.

As an example, your child spills her snack in the living room where she isn’t sup-posed to be eating, and you come upon her cleaning up the mess. You have a choice to be angry about break-ing the rules, or thankful she is trying to clean it up, or maybe pleased that she got her own snack, or chose something healthy.

� at doesn’t mean you have to allow your child to break the rule, but you can respond this way, “� ank you for cleaning up your spill, I really appreciate it and that you managed to get your own snack today.

I would also really appreci-ate it if we can keep snacks in the kitchen from now on.”

Instead of looking for evi-dence to justify being angry and critical, look for what can be appreciated in a situation. Here are more examples.

Your teen is messy. Might he also be creative or sponta-neous, and can you appreci-ate that? “Jon, I so appreciate how imaginative you are, that’s a great skateboard ramp you built. Could you please put the tools away when you are done with the project?”

A young child’s constant need for attention can wear on a parent, but can you appreciate her lovingness? When a child won’t stop talking, perhaps you can appreciate honesty, assertive-ness or how he expresses himself. And when a teen is lagging on homework or col-lege applications, perhaps you can appreciate a clean room or extra-curricular activities, like holding down a job.

To maximize the ability to appreciate your children, make sure you have down-time.

Patti Skelton-McGougan is executive director of Youth Eastside Services, a nonpro� t organization.

Khanh Cung, left, waits to hear what Victor Hyslop would like to have for lunch at Redmond Heights Senior Living. SAM PAK, Reporter Newspapers

BY SAMANTHA PAK

[email protected]

In January 1986, Khanh Cung started his job at Evergreen Vista as a server, setting tables before meals and bringing people their food.

Almost 30 years later, the senior living commu-nity has gone through a few name changes — first Cascade Plaza and now Redmond Heights Senior Living — and Cung still bustles about the dining room, going from table to table, checking on residents and making sure they have everything they need as they sit down for their meals.

But not for long as the Bothell resident will be leaving Redmond Heights and retiring on Monday.

“You know, I’m too old,” he said. “I’d like to enjoy the last few years of my life.”

And at 85, it has been a long — and full — life so far.

A HISTORY OF HARD WORK

Cung grew up in Viet-nam, initially working as a schoolteacher for about five years before joining the Vietnamese military. He served for 21 years, and when the Commu-nists took over the coun-try, he was sent to a labor camp, where he stayed for three years from 1975-78. He then spent about a year performing more labor in one of the country’s “New Economic Zones.” Cung escaped in 1980, and on March 5 of that year, he fled Vietnam by boat. This was fol-lowed by seven months in a refugee camp in Malaysia. He arrived in

the United States on Oct. 8, 1980.

Once he arrived in Washington — the only state he has lived in — Cung attended Lake Washington Institute of Technology for two years and Bellevue Community College (now Bellevue College) for one year. He took classes to learn Eng-lish as well as bookkeep-ing. Although his English skills needed work, he said he had some experience with the language before coming to the states.

“When I was in the military, I worked with American advisers,” he explained.

All of the hard work Cung has done through-out his life has transferred to his duties at Redmond Heights.

“He’s a machine. I wish I could clone him,” said Dawna Talman, Redmond Heights’ executive chef and Cung’s supervisor. “I know that the job’s going to get done. I don’t have to tell him what to do. He just knows.”

TO MISS AND BE MISSED

When Talman learned of Cung’s retirement, she said she was sad.

“He’s a very, very hard worker — very courte-ous, very polite,” she said. “The residents love him. He’s one of the nicest gentlemen you’ll ever meet.”

Larry Marsh, a resident of five years, agreed, add-ing that Cung is “twice anyone else.”

“He’s going to be missed a lot,” Marsh said.

Talman said Cung is also able to “relate to (the) residents better than

[ RETIRE from page 11]the younger (employees)” as he is similar in age to them.

Doris Thompson, who has been living at Redmond Heights for 11 years, said Cung is an amazing man. The 95-year-old said his nick-name is “Speedy” because he will know in advance what people want to eat and is always quick and on top of things.

“Your oatmeal would be in front of you be-fore you’d hardly gotten

seated,” she said.Mary Jane Brooke, an

81-year-old Redmond Heights resident of about a year, added that Cung “just runs,” which is impressive as not many people their age can move like that. She said she is always happy on Sundays and Mondays because those are the days Cung works.

“We’ll just miss his activity,” Brooke said. “He always greets you, asks if you have everything you need…I just know he’s

going to be missed even though he only works two days a week.”

She added that because Cung still speaks with a Vietnamese accent, it may be difficult for people to understand him from time to time — especially for those using hear-ing aids. However, Cung never gets impatient and will repeat himself until people can understand, Brooke said.

And while everyone at Redmond Heights will miss Cung, he said he will

miss them, as well.“I’ll miss my friends,

my co-workers, my boss,” he said. “They’re so nice to me.”

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

Cung currently lives in Bothell with one of his sons. He has three sons who all live in Washing-ton. His two daughters are living in California, and he visits them every year. From his five chil-dren, he has 13 grandchil-dren, as well.

Cung said once he re-tires he plans to relax.

“Just stay home and enjoy family,” he said

about his future beyond Redmond Heights.

Northshore Networks earns 2013 School of Distinction award

Congratulations to Northshore Networks, a Northshore School District choice program, for being named a 2013 School of Distinction award winner by the Puget Sound Edu-cational Service District. � e award recognizes the top 5 percent of schools in Washington state that have made sustained improve-ments in reading and math over � ve years.

Northshore Networks is one of 43 schools in 21 districts in the Puget Sound Educational Service District region, to be recognized at an awards ceremony Nov. 12, at the Puget Sound Educational Service District o� ce in Renton.

School of Distinction awards are granted by � e Center for Educational Ef-fectiveness in partnership with the Association of Ed-ucational Service Districts, the Association of Wash-ington School Principals,

Washington Association of School Administrators and Washington State School Directors’ Association.

Northshore Networks is an individualized, cus-tomized and independent learning program for Northshore students in grades 1-12 as an option to the traditional learning environment. Consulting teachers work with parents and students to prepare an individual education plan that includes manda-tory attendance at weekly consulting meetings and classes.

NPAC holds annual fundraiser at Cascadia

� e Northshore Per-forming Arts Center (NPAC) held its annual fundraising luncheon Fri-day at Cascadia Commu-nity College’s Mobius Hall.

“Preliminary numbers for spring for the Arts is just under $8,000 gross,” said Kate Lunceford with the NPAC foundation.

Nationally recognized children’s author and Kenmore resident Kirby Larson was the main speaker and connected arts in Northshore schools with social complications far beyond the classroom.

Larson drew upon her experience as both a parent and former North-shore School Director to point out that live theater provides a growing minds with a setting in which to grasp issues and explore solutions, while at the same time, being a witness and participant.

� e fundraiser allows NPAC to pay for live theater presented in North-shore elementary schools. Last year the luncheon funded 4000 local shows for grade school students.

Yedlin meets with Bothell soccer players to Sound O� campaign

Seattle Sounders FC

player DeAndre Yedlin and AT&T rewarded 30 youth soccer players and their parents from Bothell, Edmonds, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace last night.

� e Northwest Nation-als youth soccer club won ‘Sound O� ,’ a campaign that challenged Washing-ton Youth Soccer players to lead a no texting while driving pledge drive, and spread the word to fam-ily, friends and neighbors about the dangers of dis-tracted driving.

Yedlin took photo-graphs, signed autographs and met personally with players from the North-west Nationals – the youth soccer team that drove the most ‘It Can Wait’ pledges. “When it comes to texting while driving, “It Can Wait” is the message that we want to score with soccer players and fans in Washington,” said Sound-ers FC defender DeAndre Yedlin. “Texting and driv-ing is a serious issue with dangerous consequences.”

A movement is accom-plished through the voices and actions of everyone, including our kids. � at is why the Seattle Sounders FC and AT&T launched the ‘Sound O� ’ challenge. Aspiring to create a social stigma around this danger-ous habit of texting while

driving, AT&T and the Seattle Sounders chal-lenged the Washington Youth Soccer organization and its more than 115,000 members and 200 clubs across all parts of the state to get involved, spread the word and encourage their parents to take the pledge to never text and drive. As of today, the campaign has garnered 1,785 pledges to never text and drive.

“As a club, Northwest Nationals is a collection of families. Our athletes com-pete at a high level and, as such, they spend a tre-mendous amount of time on the road traveling to games and practices,” said Scott Newman, Nationals Director of Coaching. “We encouraged our families to sign the pledge as a way to

help keep our roads safer.”“Texting while driving

doesn’t only a� ect teens. In a recent survey con-ducted by AT&T, nearly half of commuters admit-ted to texting while driving which is more than teens,” said AT&T Washington State President Bob Bass. “But our research also shows that speaking up can prove to be successful in stopping these behav-iors. In fact, 90 percent of survey respondents said they’d stop if someone in the car asked them to. � at is why we are encourag-ing kids to speak up, raise awareness and encourage driving members of their families to make a commit-ment to drive focused and distraction-free.”

Northwest Nationals youth soccer players Kaeden Hansen and Keili Hansen of Bothell meet Seattle Sounders FC player DeAndre Yedlin. CONTRBUTED

NSD to implement new Middle Level Advanced Placement Program in September 2014

Northshore School District is developing a Middle Level Advanced Placement Program for fall 2014 that will provide highly capable programs and services for eligible seventh- and eighth-grade students. A Middle Level Advanced Place-ment Task Force consist-ing of teachers, admin-istrators and parents, has been formed to lead the work of developing a district plan for imple-mentation that provides rigorous learning oppor-tunities for students. The plan will meet require-ments outlined in recent legislation and will be submitted to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction follow-ing board approval.

To accommodate the selection and appeals process required for the new Middle Level Advanced Placement Pro-gram, the administration of the sixth grade ITBS has moved from the typi-cal mid-February date to December 2013.

In 2013, the Wash-ington State Legislature determined access to accelerated learning and enhanced instruction for highly capable students is access to basic educa-tion. The 2013–14 school year is a transition year for districts to develop a plan for identifying and serving highly capable students in grades K–12.

Northshore School District will develop a “clearly-defined written nomination, screening, assessment and selection system using multiple ob-jective criteria” for clearly identifying “the most highly capable” students.

For more informa-tion, contact Director of Secondary Curriculum, Instruction and Assess-ment Gretchen Schaefer, 425-408-7715.

Farrell honored with Regional

Leadership award

Rep. Jessyn Farrell was awarded the Senator Scott White Regional Leader-ship Award by the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Farrell represents Ken-more in the 46th district.

First introduced in 2012, the award is a way to recognize the life and work of the late Senator Scott White and honor those who follow in the footsteps of his commit-ment to public service and family. Farrell was chosen for her work on a variety of state and regional issues, as well as her continued dedication to her husband and two young children.

“I am honored to receive this award in the recognition of the late Senator White,” said Farrell. “Representing the same 46th district where Scott once served, I promise to continue his great work in mak-ing Seattle and the Puget Sound a wonderful place to work and live.”

The award was pre-sented at the Chamber’s Regional Leadership Conference in Cle Elum, Washington.

The annual gathering is focused identifying strategies that will help to grow our region’s global competitiveness, with a focus on increasing inter-national engagement and global competitiveness.

City of Kenmore to host two events for local business owners in November

The city of Kenmore invites Kenmore busi-ness people to attend two separate events – an in-formal networking event and free business seminar – during the month of November at Kenmore City Hall, 18120 68th Ave NE.

John Marshall of Results Driven Busi-ness Coaching Program, who is consulting with the City’s Development Services Department on identifying efficiencies, is offering this program for small businesses.

”We have an outstand-ing business community, and this is a great op-portunity to connect with each other,” said Mayor David Baker.

Kenmore Business Alliance Chair Annie Harkess of Kenmore’s Key Bank will provide an up-date on the organization.

This seminar is free for current and potential Kenmore business people, including Bastyr alumni. Space is limited.

The Washington State Recreation and Conserva-tion Office (RCO) an-nounced $793,030 in grants Monday for three projects, including one in Bothell, from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund. The grant for $43,030 will go towards partial funding to preserve Bothell’s last urban forest, North Creek Forest.

The long-awaited comple-tion of the Point Defiance Missing Link in Tacoma will receive $500,000, while the renovation at a public pool in Chehalis that serves

thousands of children each summer will receive the remaining $250,000.

North Creek Forest is a scenic woodland home to pileated woodpeckers and black-tailed deer just one mile from Bothell City Hall and within walking distance from school for 9,000 students who could use the forest as an outdoor laboratory.

“Without this LWCF grant, we risk losing Both-ell’s last urban forest. That would be a tragedy not only for the wildlife which call these woods home, but

also for the community members who walk these paths and the students who use it as an outdoor labora-tory,” Jim Freese of Friends of North Creek Forest said. “We’re grateful for partial funding this year, but this calls attention to the need for full, dedicated funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund.”

This is the second LWCF grant North Creek Forest has received.

These projects represent an investment in Washing-ton’s $22.5 billion outdoor recreation economy and in

the high quality of life that supports our state’s families and businesses.

Created by Congress in 1965, LWCF is the na-tion’s premier federal grant program for conservation and outdoor recreation. The program uses no taxpayer dollars. Instead, $900 mil-lion in offshore oil and gas lease revenue is meant to be invested in parks and outdoor recreation oppor-tunities each year. However, year after year Congress diverts a majority of LWCF funds for unrelated pur-poses.

Lack of full funding for the program has created a huge backlog of unmet need. This year, nine un-funded projects will move to next year’s funding list.

“Full dedicated funding for LWCF is essential to ensure that more of these investments are success-ful in communities across Washington. We thank Senators Cantwell and Mur-ray and Congresswoman Suzan DelBene for their work to ensure protection for our outdoors,” said Joan-na Grist, Executive Director of the Washington Wildlife

and Recreation Coalition.This program continues

to receive strong bipartisan support. A recent poll by Public Opinion Strate-gies and Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associ-ates found that 85 percent of American voters think their Member of Congress should honor the commit-ment to fund conservation through LWCF. More than seven-in-ten American voters agree that “even with federal budget problems, funding to safeguard land, air, and water should not be cut.”

Bothell man wins $200,000 in scratch game

A Bothell man recently

won $200,000 playing Washington’s Lottery “Triple Black Cherry” scratch game.

The man realized he won Oct. 9 when he had bought and scratched a ticket at work. He’s a manager at the Wash-ington’s Lottery retail location where he bought

the ticket, the 7-Eleven at 20801 Bothell Everett Highway in Bothell.

“I checked the numbers three times and then put it in my safe,” the man said through a Washing-ton State Lottery release.

The man wished to keep his identity con-cealed.

He claimed his prize from the Everett Regional Office the next day on Oct. 10 and planned to reveal the news to his wife that evening.

“I want to surprise her, so I might take my wife to dinner and show her the check,” he said. “She is pregnant with our first child, so we may use the money for our child.”

He also plans to invest some of his winnings.

The winner plays Washington’s Lottery regularly. He usually plays Lotto, Hit 5, Mega Millions and Powerball each week, and also plays Scratch occasionally. He told Lottery officials that he’s met several winners at the 7-Eleven where he works, including a man who won Match 4 three times in three weeks, but this is his first big win.

“I’m most excited because I can secure my life,” he said.

Proceeds from Wash-ington’s Lottery benefit the Washington Oppor-tunity Pathways Account, providing scholarships to college students state-wide.

Master Gardener program now accepting applications

Join more than 350 Snohomish County Mas-ter Gardeners in shar-ing good gardening and environmental steward-ship practices with county residents by becoming a WSU Master Gardener Volunteer Community Educator.

ment. All training is open book and no memoriza-tion is expected.

Tuition for this extensive training program is $245 to cover the direct costs plus a vol-unteer commitment of 50 hours each year for two years working, learning and having fun with other like-minded volunteers on a variety of commu-nity educational projects. Without the volunteer commitment, tuition is $745.

For more information and an application, visit the Extension website at snohomish.wsu.edu and look under “News and Announcements,” call the Master Gardener Hot-line at 425-357-6010, or e-mail [email protected].
