Looking at 11-year-old Tessa Lawson, it would be nearly

impossible to tell the Bothell sixth-grader, who enjoys Sour Patch Kids, martial arts and soccer, is

battling a largely unpubli-cized and invisible illness: linear scleroderma. Or, that her 16-year-old sister Isabel Lawson is fight-ing idiopathic arthritis, another painful autoim-mune disease.

“It’s difficult at times, but I’ve had it since sixth

grade,” Isabel Lawson said, who before her diagnosis said she never thought about having a chronic disease.

“I never really thought ‘What if that happened,’” she said.

Idiopathic arthritis is a disease which fills

the joints with fluids and wears down con-nective cartilage. Linear scleroderma causes skin to harden in lines along the body, which can cause difficulty mov-ing, particularly if it grows over joints. The Arthritis Foundation is

a national advocacy and support organization, and considers both conditions similar enough to address both. A commonly cited figure estimates there are around 300,000 children suffering from juvenile arthritis in America.

Both conditions can cause pain and dis-comfort, but that hasn’t

stopped either of the sis-ters from following their passions.

Tessa Lawson loves Taekwondo, particularly choreographed routines, where she’s earned her blue belt which is the sixth-highest rank. She recently held a board-breaking demonstration

Tessa and Isabel Lawson � ght through pain and discomfort to enjoy active lifestyle

Sorenson offers a place for special needs students to growBY AARON KUNKLER

[email protected]

From the outside, Sorenson Early Childhood Center looks like a famil-iar Northshore School District facility and at � rst glance it would be impos-sible to tell the humble building holds one of the most specialized schools

in the district.It is sta� ed by an ener-

getic and highly trained group of profession-als, many of whom have been with the school for ten years or more.

Doreen Milburn has headed the Both-ell school over the past

three years.“What we try to do

is have a continuum of services for students

to meet their indi-vidual needs,” she said. “One of our primary goals is

for our kids to leave with a functional

communication system.”

While many of the near-ly 180 children, ages 3 to 5, are typically developing, the school focuses on chil-dren with special educa-tion needs. Many of these children need extra help developing fundamental skills due to developmen-tal delays, particularly

for other children. Both girls love and play

soccer. Isabel Lawson plays for the Northwest Christian Sports League.

“My friend in � rst-grade asked me if I wanted to be on her soccer team, and I said yes,” she said, even though she thought she wouldn’t like it, she’s stuck with the game.

Aside from sports, Tessa Lawson loves animals, and cracks a huge smile as she describes the family’s two cats, dog, bunny and two � sh.

Her sister, like most teenagers, enjoys hanging out with her friends, but also painting, particularly with acrylic paints.

Treating these chronic dis-eases is a lengthy battle. Char-ity Lawson, the girls’ mother, carries three homemade necklaces, each full of large beads. � ese are Beads of Courage necklaces, and Tessa Lawson receives one bead for each treatment she receives.

“Each bead represents a milestone in their journey,” their mother said.

� e necklaces are each

around a foot long.“With arthritis and sclero-

derma, it comes in waves,” Charity Lawson said. “You have a good day, and without any rhyme or reason the next day you have a bad one.”

Treatment o� en includes a whirlwind of injections, checkups and cocktails of drugs ranging from che-motherapy prescriptions

to anti-in� ammatory medications.

� e ultimate goal of these treatments is to send the dis-

eases into remission, de� ned as going one

year without a � areup. � is is where Isabel Lawson is, and her sister Tessa’s condition has stabilized.

Charity Lawson said one of the biggest sources of help in helping her and her daugh-ters � ght the disease has been the Arthritis Foundation.

“It’s been such a blessing for us,” she said.

Both Charity Lawson and her daughters said one of the hardest parts of dealing with an invisible disease was people’s misunderstandings.

“You’ll have people who you’ll talk with them about it, and they’ll say ‘At least it’s not

cancer,” Charity Lawson said. � e family hopes events

the Arthritis Foundation puts on will help raise awareness.

Tessa Lawson was recently named the Youth Honoree for the foundation’s annual Santa Breakfast, a charity event which raises money and awareness for children’s arthritis programs.

Both girls are co-captains of their Jingle Bell Run/Walk team, T-Bell & Crew, which is held every year in Kirkland to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation.

According to the Jingle Bell Run/Walk website, more than $205,000 has been raised to-wards their goal of $755,800.

� rough all their struggle, Charity Lawson said the children’s grandmother is a source of inspiration to them. She has had multiple sclerosis and brain tumors.

“She would just push through so much pain,” Charity Lawson said.

It seems Charity Lawson may be right in that, as her daughter Isabel had a piece of advice for other children liv-ing with similar conditions.

“Don’t become the disease,” she said. “Don’t let it de� ne you.”

NSF honored as 2015 top-rated nonpro� t

The Northshore Schools Foundation has been honored with a prestigious 2015 Top-Rated Award by Great-Nonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews about nonprofit organi-zations.

“We are excited to be named a 2015 Top-Rated Nonprofit and are very proud of our accomplishments this year … The Foundation is strongly committed to the District’s mission of ‘Strengthening Our Community Through Excellence in Educa-tion,’” said Northshore Schools Foundation Executive Director Carmin Dalziel in a release. “To that end, the Foundation Board has elected to track our performance and align our funding priorities to the four Northshore School Board goals that guide the District’s ongoing improvement efforts. We are address-ing 22 of the School

Board 28 performance measures for those goals through our focus on Literacy; Teacher Excel-lence; Music, Health & Enrichment; Struggling and Advanced Learners and STEM and College & Career Readiness.”

The Northshore Schools Foundation is a nonprofit organiza-tion that raises funds and builds partnerships to support Northshore School District pri-orities of excellence and academic success for all Northshore students.

The Top-Rated Non-profit award was based on the large number of positive reviews that the organization received – reviews written by vol-unteers, donors and cli-ents. People posted their personal experiences with the nonprofit.

”Northshore Schools Foundation has blos-somed into a marvel-ous, nearly miraculous, source for teachers at every level within our District,” one post read. “They have allowed in-structors to extend their curriculums beyond the immediate classroom and into projects that have had long term im-pacts on their students and the community. The leaders of the Founda-

tion do an amazing job of rallying the constitu-ency behind our teach-ers and showcasing the results!”

While the Top-Rated Awards run through the end of October, Northshore Schools Foundation was part of the inaugural group to qualify. In addition, the organization has been added to GreatNon-profits #GivingTuesday Guide — an interactive guide to top nonprofits throughout the years.

“Savvy donors want to see the impact of their donations more than ever,” said Great-Nonprofits CEO Perla Ni. “People with direct experience with North-shore Schools Founda-tion have voted that the organization is making a real difference.”

Dalziel said that being on the Top-Rated list gives donors and volun-teers more confidence that the Foundation is a credible organization.

“The reviews by volunteers, clients and other donors show the on-the-ground results of this nonprofit,” Dalziel said. “This award is a form of recognition by the community.”

involving communication skills.

“You’ll have kids who come in without saying a single word, and leave and go into general education,” said teacher Molly Knapp, giving an example of the progress the staff has seen with students.

“Seeing that growth over a few years is really awesome as well,” said teacher Tammy Baker-Laws.

Staff at the school say the environment for both students and faculty is a cut above, with many educators holding bachelors or masters degrees.

Teamwork plays a critical role at Sorenson. Teachers communicate and col-laborate with each other to design programs which are tailored for each student’s in-dividual needs. Activities and performance are recorded, adjudicated and either repeated or passed, based

on an intensive data-driven records system.

But as the preschoolers assemble magnetic towers, sort items with tongs and play games with each other, it seems unlikely they know these activities are tailored to improve fine motor skills. Various rooms hold equip-ment ranging from installed swings and slides, to coloring boards and climbing towers, all designed to help improve students’ physical, mental and emotional abilities.

Both special needs and typically developing children attend Sorenson, which has three overarching programs. A developmental preschool classroom is made of around 11 students, with the the ma-jority of them having special needs. A Ready Start class-room has an even split ratio, and finally, a peer model program where typically developing students work with students with special needs. Special needs students attend Sorenson at no cost

when they are referred from various schools throughout the district while typically progressing students pay $150 a month.

For some children at So-renson, scheduling and time management can be a source of confusion and stress. Many activities at the school are laid out in a visual form, consist-ing of a pictorial representation of each activity and the order in which it occurs, from circle time to washing their hands. These implements are described as visual rich environments and allows students to pick up on concepts visually with which they may otherwise struggle.

“These visual cues or visual imagery makes that connection with them,” said teacher Martina Andela.

Milburn said the school enjoys a strong parent-teacher relationship. Parents

are encouraged to become active participants in their children’s education, and staff members host events year-round to educate parents on how to work with their chil-dren at home in skills from communication to reading.

“They really give back, and they give a lot of time and energy into their children’s preschool experi-ence,” she said.

Many parents take this opportu-nity to engage with the school com-munity, including

the mother of one student, who stuck in Baker-Laws mind.

“(She) saw such a great change in him that she went and pursued her masters degree and did her student teaching in my class,” she said.

For parent Jackie Dierk-sen, Sorenson was the differ-ence between her son being able to attend preschool or

not. Her son is in his third year at the Sorenson, before which she said he was enrolled in community pre-school. Days after he started, his teachers approached Dierksen saying they didn’t have the resources to teach her son, and recommended she take him to Sorenson. Her decision to enroll her son at the school has proven to be life changing.

“It’s been wonderful, it’s made a huge difference,” she said. “Anything we did need, the teachers were there.”

She said Sorenson not only supported her son, but she and her husband, too, creating a communal atmosphere.

“We’re a community, the parents [who] you get to know, the teachers [who] you get to know,” she said.

Her son was helped in particular by an extended day program, where students

attend both morning and afternoon sessions instead of the usual two-and-a-half hour classes. This year is her son’s last at Sorenson, after which he will move on to kindergarten.

Dierksen doesn’t know if he will move into a general education school, or require further specialized educa-tion. Those decisions will be made towards the end of the school year based on evalua-tions and cumulative data.

Dierksen believes that, either way, Sorenson was the right fit for her son, and that other special needs children and their parents can benefit, too. She’s even thinking of sending her younger son, who hasn’t shown signs of special needs, to the school because of the positive expe-rience her first son had.

“I’d say get in the school if you can,” Dierksen said. “It makes a huge difference.

On Nov. 10, the Northshore School District Board of Directors approved a purchase and sale agreement with Sno-

homish County to acquire the former Welling-ton Hills Golf Course as a site for future schools to address expected enrollment growth in the coming years and decades. � is 104-acre site will provide much needed � exibility for the future of our district. Preliminary feasibility studies indi-cate that the Wellington site should accommo-date at least two schools of any grade con� gura-tion that may be necessary in the future.

Last June, the School Board approved the rec-ommendation of the Enrollment Demograph-ics Task Force (EDTF) to begin planning for a new school to be built on property the district currently owns on Maltby Road. Funding for this new school will be included as part of the district’s 2018 bond measure. Should that bond measure be successful, we anticipate opening a new school on that site in 2020 to address continued north end enroll-ment growth. Based on the district’s current four-year bond cycle, the earli-est a school may be considered for the newly purchased Wellington site would be 2022 or later.

Since Snohomish County purchased the Wellington site from the University of Washington in 2011, there has been much publicity surrounding objections of the Wellington neighbors and the city of Woodin-ville to Snohomish County’s planned use of that site for a sports complex. Snohomish County decided to pursue their sports complex at a

di� erent site, which made the property available for us to purchase. Unfortunately, the Wel-

lington neighborhood group and the city of Woodinville � led new lawsuits against Snohomish County once the purchase and sale agreement was publicly an-nounced.

Because of those lawsuits, our purchase agreement with Snohomish County was revised to require that the lawsuits against the County be satis-factorily resolved before the purchase would o� cially close. In the meantime,

the purchase funds will be held in an interest bearing account, and in the event the lawsuits are not satisfactorily resolved to complete the purchase, the purchase funds will return to the district with the accrued interest. � is provision

of the purchase and sale agreement protects the interests of the district taxpayers while placing the property under contract with the district.

While the lawsuits are unfortunate, we are con� dent that they will be resolved, enabling the sale to be completed. In future years as contin-ued enrollment growth causes us to consider constructing schools on the Wellington site, we are committed to working cooperatively with all a� ected parties to address the impacts of new schools in new neighborhoods. Our recent experience with the construction of North Creek High School demonstrates our commitment and ability to be good neighbors and cooperative partners.

No race is exempt from micro aggression

Have you ever had that moment when you were questioning whether somebody made a racist advance towards you? Was it racist, or are you being overly sensitive? You might make excuses up for them such as, “Maybe they were having a bad day…” More than likely they were being subtly rac-ist, intentionally or unintentionally.

Racial micro-aggression is a problem. Everyone experiences some type of racism no mater what race you are. For example, my dad used to live in San Francisco. Now, every requirement for high school students is P.E., and his teacher was a middle aged Chinese woman. His class consisted of mostly Chinese students, and my father was one of the few white males in that class. Whenever the class was assigned to do an activity, the teacher was more a� rming to the Chinese students. With the white males she would grimace at them and give them a hard time because she liked the Chinese students better.

As a mixed young woman, I’ve also had odd micro aggression instances. I’ve had a classmate ask me if I was A-rab. � ey looked at me with a disgusted face. Almost like if I said “yes” she would throw insults at me. When I said no, she then asked me, “What are you then?” I’ve had people ask me if I speak Mexican. Not all Latinos are Mexican and you don’t speak Mexican! I had a teacher tell me I had to go wash my hands in a healthcare setting because Hispanic hands are dirtier than other races’ hands.

I believe this is a problem because it is still a form of racism that is relatively acceptable. People play it o� as, “Oh I didn’t mean it like that.” Well then you should be mindful of how other people perceive you. Of what you say or act like. I feel like a lot of times people say subtly racist things and pay no mind to it. Nobody really cares because you’re not actually being racist to their faces. � en the person who has talked to like that will think… “Were they being racist or am I just being too sensitive?” � e whole cycle is vicious.

What I am asking you to do is simple. Be mindful of what you’re saying to people. Don’t just blurt out what you’re thinking. Try to assess the situation. Is your statement o� ensive to strangers? No race is exempt from micro aggression, it doesn’t matter if you’re Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, or of African descent.Celestial Carvalho, Bothell

TTP can help in combating cancer

I recently attended a town hall hosted by Con-gressman Rick Larsen (WA-2) to discuss important issues facing our country. As a cancer survivor I want Congress to do everything to help defeat can-cer – not just in here, but around the world.

Congress will have an important opportunity to do just that next year when it considers the recently negotiated Trans-Paci� c Partnership (TTP) trade agreement. � e TPP would prohibit the tobacco industry from using the agreement to undermine lifesaving tobacco control laws in the United States

and the 11 other countries that are part of the pact.� e TPP would help countries protect laws that

discourage tobacco use and promote public health from tobacco industry lawsuits that are intended to delay or undermine such laws. � is is a big step in the right direction, especially considering that tobacco use is on track to kill 1 billion people glob-ally in this century. Countries around the world are acting to prevent the public health calamity caused by tobacco use, and the TPP would help them do it.

Smoking rates in the U.S. are at an all-time low, thanks in part to smoke-free workplace policies, to-bacco taxes and proven programs that help people quit. Tobacco companies try to protect pro� ts by overturning policies like these in any way they can. By approving the TPP, Congressman Larsen and his colleagues could help to stop them.Christine Gri� ths, Bothell

If they ask for money, it is a scam

I have been getting calls from an individual, located in Vegas, [who] says I won PCH,and they wanted to give me $10 million dollars. Upon further investigation, I found out this is not true but he said he needed me to give them $5,000 � rst… not true.

� en he calls again, saying I won the Washington State Lottery, “not true,” same scenario, I did not fall for this one either.RM Iverson, Bothell

Bothell Scout attends BSA Camp Meriwether

Joe Comstock, mem-ber of Scout Troop 574 in Bothell, participated as an Instructor Coun-selor at BSA Camp Meriwether in Oregon.

He applied for this position in January 2015, followed by a personal interview in February. Joe had at-tended resident camp at Camp Meriwether in 2010 as a Scout.

This summer, Joe worked the 10 week session of Scout resident camps being an instruc-tor for merit badge sessions in Oceanogra-

phy and Frontiersman. Camp Meriwether is known for the theme Corps of Discovery, the name of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. Joe gave tours of the in-camp replica of Fort Clatsop, and led the evening American Heritage Tour, as well as led morning hikes to the marine garden on the Pacific Ocean, so that the scouts could experi-

ence the marine life and tide pools.

Joe used his leader-ship skills as a ranger for troops in order to help scout troops become oriented with the camp and scheduled activities.

“Being a ranger is all about building relation-ships and being helpful,” Joe said.

Joe met scouts from all across the US, with the furthest travelling from Anchorage, Bal-timore, and Houston. His home Troop 574 in Bothell also attended Camp Meriwether and enjoyed reuniting with Joe at summer resident camp.

In his free time on the single day between camp weeks, Joe trav-eled to the commu-nity of Beaver to attend church, and also explore the BSA Camp Meri-wether property.

Philip Akers has been named the new vice chan-cellor for advancement and external relations at the University of Wash-ington Bothell. Akers will succeed Dr. Richard Penny, who will retire in January 2016 a� er nearly eight years of service with the university. Akers will join UW Bothell on Feb. 1.

As vice chancellor, Akers will be responsible for leading the overall direction for advancement,

alumni, communications and external relations programs. He will work closely with the campus advisory board and volun-teer leadership, as well as university advancement.

“We are delighted to welcome Phil to our campus,” says Chancellor Wolf Yeigh. “He has an impressive track record in building strong partner-ships and � nancial support in higher education. He will provide outstanding

leadership to this uni-versity, especially as we continue on our trajectory of excellence and growth.” Yeigh says he is excited that Akers will build upon the tremendous success the university has experi-enced under Dr. Penny’s leadership during a time of unprecedented growth in student enrollment, academic programs, � nan-cial support and external partnerships.

Akers has more than

25 years of experience in higher education advance-ment, most recently as Senior Director of Leader-ship Gi� s and College Programs at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Previously, he served as Vice President for Uni-versity Relations at Paci� c University in Forest Grove, Oregon from 2007-2011. He has also been Vice President at Lewis & Clark College in Oregon, and Regional Director of De-

velopment for Washington State University Spokane.

Akers holds a Master of Arts degree in Organi-zational Leadership from Gonzaga University and a Bachelor of Arts in Inter-disciplinary Studies from the University of Portland. He is active in several or-ganizations including the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and served on the CASE Board of Trustees from 2008-2011.PHILIP AKERS

Dr. Charles “Mac” Powell was chosen as Bastyr Univer-

sity’s newest president earlier this year. Since then, he has collaborated with the community on and off campus to develop a continuing vision for the university.

“I think that the vision should come from the faculty and staff and stu-dents,” Powell said.

Through meetings and conferences with faculty, staff, alumni, students and the community, Powell said a decision was reached for the univer-sity to focus on attract-ing world-class students and faculty, seek grants to fund activities and programs, minimize or

eliminate tuition increas-es and collaborate across disciplines internally and with the community in the greater Seattle area.

One way Bastyr is try-ing to accomplish this is by working with the American Council on Education, a coordinating body for higher education representing more than 1,600 schools, to develop an alternative credit pro-gram.

This program allows universities, such as Bas-tyr and nearly 40 others, to grant credit for more than 110 general educa-tion online courses from non-accredited course providers.

“The council program really is the flagship pro-gram right now, and it’s exciting for Bastyr to be a part of it,” Powell said.

Powell thinks this program will allow more students to attend Bastyr, which does not offer gen-eral education courses.

Bastyr offers courses and degrees in a wide range of subjects includ-ing homeopathy, acu-puncture and nutrition. Powell said as patients in the area want more choices in their health-care, the demand for their students will increase.

“We see our programs growing and being suc-cessful,” he said. “I see a very fast acceleration curve.”

Bastyr opened a San Diego branch in 2012 and the first wave of graduates will be graduating this spring. Powell is president of both branches, and Bastyr clinics.

The university will be

looking at doing distance learning between the two campuses, which already collaborate in many areas, in the near future, Powell said.

This is Powell’s third university presidency, and he previously worked as president at the John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill, Calif. So far, he says he enjoys the area.

“Being in a new city is a great opportunity, but it takes a lot of time and energy to get to know everyone,” he said.

He said he and his part-ner are settling in, and being foodies, they really enjoy the area’s eats.

“The Thai food in Seattle is exceptional,” he said, along with fresh sea food. “It’s been a culinary extravaganza so far.”

Support Kenmore’s growing small business community by shopping at local retailers this holiday season. You can avoid the large-scale shopping frenzy and explore the smaller side of independently-owned businesses such as Snapdoodle Toys, Ostroms Drug & Gift, Micro Homebrew, Maser’s Pet Boutique, and more.

Here are 5 great reasons to shop locally this year.*

1. Improve our local economy.Remember that every time you spend a dollar, you are impacting the big picture of our hometown and contributing to community liveliness. Most likely, the small businesses you are patronizing are owned by someone who lives in our community. That means that the money you spend locally will be recycled back into our local economy.

2. Generate opportunity.Not only do locally owned businesses employ more people directly per dollar of revenue, they are the customers of other local businesses, which in turn creates an expansion of opportunities for local entrepreneurs.

3. Enrich our community.A small business culture is the heartbeat of every thriving hometown. While franchises and national chain stores play a role in the national economy, small businesses provide an undeniable energy and unique sentiment that is the backbone of our community life.

4. Experience a one-of-a-kind connection.Shopping with local business owners offers a sincere customer-owner connection. Small business owners are experts on the product they create and sell; merchandise is carefully selected based on the customer's interests and needs, and owners will go the extra mile to guarantee personal attention to the customer.

5. Create a healthier environment.Independent businesses build robust communities by making more local purchases and supporting vibrant town centers, which essentially reduces traffic, habitat loss, and pollution.

Shop Local this Holiday Season

More than 100 businesses, including local retailers, can be found on Kenmore’s Business Directory at www.FindKenmore.org

Just over a year a� er ground was broken on the new North Creek High School in unincorporated Bothell, the fourth North-shore School District high school is taking shape.

Deputy Superintendent Carolyn O’Kee� e said that when the high school is � nished it will incorporate three buildings, multiple sports � elds, parking lots and a restored wetland with a boardwalk, all of which are coming along quickly.

“We’ve been very lucky, we’ve got great crews,” she said, also citing the weather as a positive contributing factor.

Two of the large build-ings will be focused on academics, with faculty o� ces, classrooms, a library and smaller meeting rooms in the main hallways, called collaboration cubicles, for students.

Environmental impact was high on the district’s list of concerns said Planning Principal Eric McDowell.

From the porous con-

crete, which allows water to seep all the way through it and down to rain water reservoirs, to insulation and wide-open exterior win-dows, the idea of conserv-ing resources is front and center.

“We don’t want this to be an energy drain - a money drain - on the system,” McDowell said.

� e school was designed with collaboration and cross-disciplinary engage-ment in mind. Many class-rooms have a glass wall, which can be slid open facing the hallway, and lets teachers utilize hallway space in their lessons.

Technology will be cen-tral to the new school, with charging stations, televi-sions and a bring-your-own electronic device emphasis. Laptops and other neces-sary technology will be kept on-hand for students who don’t have their own.

What looks like an over-sized staircase is actually a tiered seating space for students and faculty to use for presentations, movies or collaboration, which will be completed by two large

� atscreen televisions. � e school also has

rooms for students inter-ested in science, technol-ogy, engineering and math careers, known as STEM courses.

One of the academic buildings holds a pre-engineering room where students can develop designs and ideas, and in the third building there is an engineering lab which, among other things, will house a 3D printer and laser engraver.

Also in the third build-ing are the arts and music departments, a large com-mons and cafeteria which will house 800 people at a time, two sports gyms and weight rooms. A large theater is also included in the building.

North Creek has a plot of wetland on campus which the school district agreed to revitalize, McDowell said.

� e district hopes to con-struct a boardwalk around the restored wetlands, as well as installing a walkway through campus con-necting nearby Fernwood Elementary School and

surrounding communities, allowing nearby residents easier area access.

A combination track, soccer and football � eld is also included. A second practice soccer � eld will be installed, as will a tennis court and a shot-put � eld.

O’Kee� e said the new campus will be a 4A level school, and o� er students the same athletic and sports opportunities as the other high schools in the district.

� e school will be open for the 2017-2018 school year for freshmen, sopho-mores and juniors. Seniors will stay at their current schools to � nish out their diploma that year to pre-vent distraction.

Tra� c concerns from neighbors led the district to install sidewalks and create three tra� c access points: one for buses on 39th Avenue Southeast, one for visitors on 192nd Street Southeast, and access to the student parking lot o� 188th Street Southeast.

McDowell hopes these help disburse school tra� c through nearby areas so no one neighborhood has

to bear the brunt of tra� c � ow.

� e northern end of the Northshore School District has been growing quickly in recent years district spokes-

woman Leanna Albrecht said, prompting the district to create the new high school. When � nished, it will be able to hold 1,600 students.

North Creek High School on schedule to open in two years

Snohomish County receives clean audit report

The Washington State Auditor’s Office gave Snohomish County an “unqualified opinion” – the best possible result a jurisdiction can re-ceive – in its audit of the County’s 2014 financial statements and federal grants compliance.

The auditor issued a clean report, meaning no significant deficiencies in reporting financial information or comply-ing with federal grant requirements were identi-fied. These statements present fairly, in all mate-rial aspects, the financial position of the County.

“Our staff takes pride in ensuring that the financial resources of the County are well managed and accounted for,” said County Executive John Lovick. “We’re fortunate to have such an excel-lent and dedicated team overseeing countywide financial operations.”

During the audit exit

meeting, the auditors expressed appreciation for staff ’s professionalism and the timely delivery and organized state of the County’s financial records.

Credit rating agen-cies, bond investors, and the public rely on audit information in assessing a jurisdiction’s financial strength. These results were also a key factor in Snohomish County maintaining its high bond ratings, which saves taxpayers considerable money.

For additional informa-tion or questions, please contact Sharyl Raines, Controller, at 425-388-3308 or [email protected].

Bothell football player named to national team

Bothell High School de-fensive lineman Jesse Sims has been named to the United States Under-17 National Team.

The team will compete against Canada in the 2016 International Bowl on Feb. 5 at AT&T Sta-dium in Dallas, Tx., home of the Dallas Cowboys. Sims is one of 59 athletes to be selected for this

honor to represent Team USA in the sport’s great-est annual international competition.

The 2016 International Bowl is a collaboration of the sport’s national governing bodies in each country – USA Football and Football Canada – featuring top student-athletes in football’s great-est annual international competition.

Two Bothell athletes earn CCC academic honors

A total of 339 Cascade Collegiate Conference student-athletes in the fall sports of men’s and women’s cross country, volleyball and men’s and women’s soccer have earned U.S. Bank Aca-demic All-CCC honors for their performances in the classroom. Twenty-eight Northwest Univer-sity student-athletes were named to the list, includ-ing Daniel Christenson and Dean Willis from Bothell.

To earn recognition as a CCC scholar-athlete, a student must have a mini-mum cumulative GPA of 3.2 and sophomore standing.

Spencer earns ticket to NCAA Cross Country Championships

Pacific University run-ner and Bothell resident Stephenie Spencer has earned a spot to compete in the 2015 NCAA Divi-sion III Cross Country Championships on Sat-urday.

Spencer finished eighth during Saturday’s NCAA West Region Champion-ships in Claremont, Calif. and has earned an at-large spot in the meet in Win-neconne, Wis.

She is the first Pacific female runner to gain the bid since Rachel Schreiber in 2012.

The race will be held at the Lake Breeze Golf Course in Winneconne, starting at 9 a.m. Pacific Time. The meet is hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.

“It will be exciting to see her compete in a larger field of talented runners,” said Spencer’s coach Matt Lydum. “She is hungry to race at that level and ready to com-pete.”

Spencer will join a large field of the nation’s top runners that will include the team of Willamette,

who won the west region team title. Whitworth, who finished third, re-ceived an at-large berth. The only other individual to earn a spot besides Spencer was Linfield’s Kaelia Neal.

On Saturday, the sopho-more ran the six kilometer course in 22-minutes, 12.84-seconds.

“Stephenie competed brilliantly,” Lydum said. “She executed a very com-petitive and tactical race.”

Bellevue Chamber Chorus in Bothell

The Bellevue Chamber Chorus will kick off its 32nd season with the 2015 holiday program Season of Wonder. The Chorus will come to Bothell at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 12 at Bothell United Methodist Church.

This is how organiz-ers describe the event: “Brighten the seasonal celebrations our won-drous sacred and secular music for winter and the holidays, as we bring you a sumptuous setting of The Holly and the Ivy by the popular Norwegian choral composer Ola Gjeilo, the haunting ‘Tis Winter Now by Paul Halley, and Winter Sun by Canadian compos-

er Don Macdonald, sure to inspire visions of glittering snowscapes and the aurora borealis.

We’re also excited to perform an exquisite set-ting of There Is No Rose by composer and former Seattle Times classical music critic, Melinda Bargreen. Plus, you’ll hear beautiful works for chorus and classical guitar by Alf Houkum (The Rune of Hospitality) and Jeffrey Van (O Be Joyful), featur-ing critically acclaimed and nationally-known guitarist Michael Nicolella (www.nicolella.com), also on the faculty of Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle.”

Single ticket prices are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, $10 for students and $5 for children 12 and under. Buy a three-concert Series Card and save at $50 (adult), $38 (senior) and $25 (student). Group sales are also available.

A Bothell doctor’s med-ical license has been summarily restricted

by the Washington State Department of Health relating to allegations that he improperly prescribed more controlled sub-stances than any other doctor in the state, according to a press release from the Department of Health.

Dr. Daniel J. Riegel has been a doctor since 1989. He was reported initially in 2013 by his previous employer,

EvergreenHealth, which filed a complaint with the Depart-ment of Health, according to the charging statement.

A non-criminal charg-ing statement dated Oct. 30 names Riegel as the respon-

dent in documents filed by the state’s Medical Quality Assurance Commission, which accuse Riegel of violating Washington

state law determining how pain medications are

prescribed. Riegel is alleged to have

improperly prescribed opioids for treating chronic non-cancer pain, not complying with prescription

standards, prescribing high doses of narcotics based on patient’s complaints without additional objec-tive measures or supportive findings, failing to provide close monitoring when prescribing long-acting opioids and writing prescrip-tions for patients suffering severe depression or suicidal thoughts without ensuring they received mental health treatment.

Riegel had 20 business days to appeal his license’s restrictions, which prohibit him from writing prescrip-tions for any controlled substances. No criminal charges have been filed but

the case has been referred to the Federal Drug Enforce-ment Administration.

The charging statement alleges Riegel inadequately documented patients’ states of health, and in at least one case, allegedly prescribed the stimulant Adderall without an electronic record.

According to the charging statement, Riegel allowed patients to routinely refill their narcotic painkiller pre-scriptions early, and did not perform urinanalysis on pa-tients, or record their results to see if they were taking the medications themselves, and at proper dosages.

In another case, docu-

mented in the charging statement, Riegel alleg-edly prescribed more than 6,700 mg of oxycodone, more than 11,750 mg of morphine, 84,000 mg of a muscle relaxer, 160 mg of hydromorphone and 450 mg of diazepam to a single patient over the course of 27 days for fibromyalgia and migraine relief.

Several of his patients were hospitalized due to life-threatening, narcotic-related conditions during the past few years, according to the charging statement.

Additionally, the state-ment alleges Riegel pre-scribed opioids to at least

one patient who admitted to him he was using the medications to manage his depression instead of pain.

In another instance, the charging statement alleges Riegel prescribed over 210 mg of oxycodone per day to one patient who was using prescriptions from more than a dozen doctors and filling them at multiple pharmacies.

Following a 2013 inves-tigation, the charging state-ment said Riegel agreed to stop prescribing high levels of pain medication, which the Medical Quality Assur-ance Commission alleges he did not.
