Haunted Trails is a labor of love for those at BastyrBY AARON KUNKLER

[email protected]

Bastyr University in Kenmore is preparing to serve up the scares again with their annual Haunted Trails event starting tonight.

� is year’s theme is

horror movies, and student volunteers are hard at work setting up � ve distinct attractions - but it’s a labor of love.

“It’s like a giant party atmosphere,” volunteer Chiaya Sherman said. “� at we earn money towards our study abroad

program is just the cherry on the sundae.”

Proceeds from the event go towards tuition and study abroad vouchers for students who participate in the event. Tickets are $20 apiece, and with around 2,000 people expected during Haunted Trails’ two

weekends, it amounts to a he� y chunk of change put towards students’ educa-tion.

“� e sole purpose is to raise money for the students,” event coordina-tor Lily Isaacson said, as well as providing a way for

RFA moves forward, setbacks persistBY AARON KUNKLER

[email protected]

Negotiations between four area � re agen-cies regarding the

formation of a Northlake Regional Fire Authority (RFA) continues despite setbacks.

If implemented, a wide geographical swath span-ning two counties currently serviced by the Bothell Fire Department, Woodinville Fire and Rescue, North-shore Fire Department and Snohomish County Fire District 10 could see local agencies merge with the hope of o� ering residents long-term savings, ex-panded service and shorter response times from the re-gion’s eight stations.

“Our goal is to get the best possible � re department for the citizens in these areas,” said Bothell City Council mem-ber Tom Agnew.

During the Northlake negotiations, the city of Bothell was presented with a $7.5 million dollar buy-in cost to be paid over � ve years to cover the city’s por-tion of the start-up costs.

� e Bothell City Council agreed to the charge, but wanted to stretch the pay-ment time to 10 years with a condition that half of it was reinvested into improv-ing or creating � re stations in south Bothell.

Northshore Fire com-

missioners made it clear this would kill negotiations, and the City Council ap-proved the � ve-year time frame with conditions that unspeci� ed funds return to Bothell � re departments in the future, allowing nego-tiations to continue.

Discussion about creat-ing a � re station in south

Bothell would con-tinue with the cre-ation of a RFA since it would greatly improve response times Agnew said.

North Bothell lies in Snohomish County with a � re station owned by

Snohomish County Fire District 10 that is sta� ed by Bothell � re� ghters, who provide service in city limits and nearby unincor-porated areas.

During a planning com-mission meeting on Oct. 1, the issue of Northshore’s voter-approved bonds were central to the discussion. In 2008, Northshore district voters approved $17 million in bonds to build a new station in Kenmore which serves as a command cen-

UW Bothell raises minimum wage to $15 an hourBY AARON KUNKLER

[email protected]

� e University of Wash-ington Bothell announced a plan Sept. 28 to raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour for all campus employees by 2017, a plan which has excited univer-

sity administration and students.

“I think everyone here is very excited to be able to do this, to support the people on the univer-sity campus,” university spokeswoman Lisa Hall said.

Hall said many employ-

ees on-campus are already making $13 an hour, with all student employees and sta� making at least that amount by Jan. 1, 2016. By the same time next year, that amount will bump up to $15 an hour.

� e decision follows the University of Washington

Seattle campus’s decision to raise wages to $15, also announced Sept. 28.

“We’re in full support of Seattle’s decision. We endorse what they decided to do,” Hall said.

Soccer was a big part of Nicholas Madra-zo’s life, so with

construction tentatively scheduled to begin this fall on the long-awaited park bearing his name, his family says they’re happy it will be filled with sports fields and courts.

The 1st Lt. Nicholas Madrazo Memorial Park has been in the works for around five years, intend-ed to honor the memory of the Bothell native who was killed in Afghanistan while on patrol in 2008.

“It’s fitting that a park like this is named after him because he spent a lot of time in the Bothell recreation departments playing various sports,” said Joel Madrazo, Nicho-las’s father. “That was re-ally a benefit to him and his friends.”

Park designs from the Bothell Parks and Recre-ation department show the proposed location at 18707 North Creek Parkway could have two tennis courts, a basketball

court, a picnic shelter, a large, multi-purpose field for youth sports and a memorial.

Berger Partnership PS from Seattle is creating the memorial with help from the family.

The five-acre park would be within a larger 12-acre plot housing a wastewater overflow building and a large containment tank owned by King County, which sits directly under the planned soccer fields in the Bothell Business Park.

King County and the City of Bothell signed a land-use agreement last October allowing the city to build on the land while the county retained ownership. An annual fee of $6,500 was agreed to by the city.

The memorial park is expected to cost around $1.2 million to develop said John Keates, Bothell Parks and Recreation director.

Madrazo said the effort was spearheaded by local firefighter and Marine veteran Hugh Moag.

“When Nic died, there

were several firefighters that came to our house from the Bothell area,” he said. “He was one of the firefighters.”

Madrazo recalls sitting down with Moag in a downtown coffee shop the first time they met. Soon afterward, Moag ap-proached the city council with the idea of dedicat-ing a memorial park to Nicholas Madrazo.

Finally, it seems those efforts may be coming to fruition with park designs around 80 percent fin-ished, Keates said.

The plans will be presented to the Bothell Business Park for approv-al, after which the city will begin bidding out construction contracts, with an anticipated open-ing in fall 2016.

Nicholas Madrazo was killed in Afghanistan on Sept. 9, 2008 while on pa-trol after a roadside bomb exploded underneath his Humvee, also killing two other Marines and an interpreter.

He graduated from Bothell High School in 2001, and attended Seattle

Pacific University where he earned a Bachelors De-gree in business adminis-tration before signing on with the Marines.

“He could have easily left SPU and worked. He didn’t have to choose that route,” Joel Madrazo said. “It became apparent that he really wanted to serve, to do his duty.”

Nicholas was only 25 years old when he was killed, but his family said that was enough time for him to make an impres-sion both at home, and on the children he met in Afghanistan.

His family said Nicho-las would interact with the children, even asking his family to send paper, pencils and candy to hand out on patrol. He also found time for the occa-sional game of soccer.

“He was a very outgo-ing person,” Joel Madrazo said. “He really had a heart to do good in that place.”

“He didn’t want to just go there and say, ‘Well, I didn’t really have an impact.”

students to engage with visitors.

“It’s a great way to meet people,” she said. “I get to see a lot of faces and hear lots of excitement around the community.”

Daniel Rose is a third-year student at Bastyr.

“A lot of di� erent people really put their heart into it,” he said. “It’s also great fun to scare people.”

Students will be dressed up as characters from vari-ous horror movies includ-ing “IT,” “� e Mummy,” “� e Texas Chainsaw Mas-sacre” and “Hostel.”

Isaacson is working on what she describes as a gi-ant spider with eight-foot long legs, which she hopes will terrify guests on the trail section of the event.

� e path starts by wind-ing its way through wood-land trails in sprawling Saint Edward State Park before ushering thrill-seekers through a mummy tomb, a ‘Texas’ barbecue, a clown tent and � nally a labyrinth.

Isaacson said the event keeps students entertained well beyond the the two weekends.

“You see them through-

out the year, and you’re like ‘You were the mum-my,’ or ‘You were the giant spider,’” she said.

Bastyr’s Haunted Trails runs Oct. 16-17 and again Oct. 23-24.

Kenmore Self Stor-age will also be putting on a Fall Festival from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 24 where participants can go on a self-guided tour through � e Haunted Halls.

For those with young kids, Country Village in Bothell and the businesses in downtown Bothell will host trick-or-treating on Halloween.

David Cogan would have to recuse himself for any teacher contract talks

� is is a follow up to a previous letter I re-cently read.

David Cogan, a candidate for school board is married to a Northshore teacher and, if elected, cannot vote or participate in any discussion of the teacher’s union contract or actions taken by the teacher’s union (RCW 42.23.030). He must recuse himself. And, as his presence during a discussion or vote would be considered as po-tentially in� uencing said vote and discussion, he would not be permitted to be present for either.

As approximately half of the Northshore School District’s operating budget is spent on teacher’s salary and bene� ts, having a school board member that cannot in any way have a voice in the school board’s decisions regarding said contract is not in the best interest of this district, its teachers or its students.

Why is the new Bothell City Hall so ugly?

Why is the new Bothell City Hall so ugly?It looks like a hospital building straight out of

the ‘50s. With the amount of money it cost you would think the city of Bothell could have hired an architect to create something attractive like the police station. I hope this isn’t an example of Bothell’s new “vision.”Richard Olson, Bothell

Problems with the I-405 HOT lanes

� ere are problems with the I-405 HOT lanes.� e limited entry and exit points make com-

muting worse.Previously, my husband and I could enter the

freeway at the 195th/Beardslee on-ramp in Both-ell (where we live) and merge over a couple of lanes into the HOV lanes before the 522 � yover. Now, we enter the freeway in the same place but, 1) the tra� c in the general purpose (GP) lanes is signi� cantly heavier and slower, 2) we are forced to continue traveling in the slow GP lanes until the 160th/Brickyard (entry point three) area because that is the closest legal entry point to the HOT lanes from our entry point on to I-405, and 3) of course we now have to pay for something that was free, which we have decided we are will-ing to do to shorten our commute time.

� e only way for us to get in the HOT lanes sooner is to use neighborhood surface streets to travel north to the Canyon Park on-ramp so we can get in the HOT lanes at entry point two. � is means we will have to deal with busy morning neighborhood tra� c, including school zones and we will add yet one more car to surface street congestion.

We are either stuck sitting in GP tra� c until we can legally enter the HOT lanes at entry point three or stuck in neighborhood surface street tra� c while we travel north on back roads so we can get on southbound interstate in order to access HOT lanes at entry point two.

So although we were “doing the right thing” before by carpooling, we get penalized twice with the new HOT lanes in that we are forced to drive in the slower GP lanes for a longer period of time and we now pay for what previously was free (or alternatively, we can drive north on neighborhood surface streets so we can then drive south on the interstate but legally access the HOT lanes sooner). So much for “doing the right thing” and so much for the HOT lanes

making things better, on the interstate and/or neighborhood surface streets.

Today, I also read in the Seattle Time that the buses can now use the road shoulder in certain areas to get through during heavy congestion. I think that speaks volumes about congestion with the new HOT system. I also think that is extremely unsafe. And if the buses can “bend the rules” because of congestion then why can’t I (the average commuter) bend the rules and jump in the HOT lanes as soon as I can rather than at the legal entry point. My rationalization is I am making the GP tra� c better by getting out of the GP lanes and into the HOT lanes as soon as possible although not at a legal entry point but hey, if the bus can ride on the shoulder due to congestion then tra� c rules are now more of a guideline, right? Am I going to do that? No, be-cause I would get a ticket for breaking the rules. HOT has not made our commutes better, it has made it worse and more costly.Jennifer Lebeau, Bothell

Duerr, McNeal, Rheaume will restore integrity to Bothell

A� er long careers in city management and the � re service, we moved to Bothell. Sadly since locating here we have watched reports of Bothell City Councilmembers being involved in shameful scandals, defying state regulations, and placing the � nancial interest of developers and themselves above that of the community-at-large. � eir lack of judgment has been a distrac-tion, and worse, has resulted in poor policy decisions that will a� ect us for years to come.

We are pleased that there are three candidates on the ballot in November that will work to rebuild trust, increase transparency, and provide broader representation of our diverse and grow-ing community. Davina Duerr, James McNeal and Andy Rheaume all have a history of com-mitment, honesty and integrity. � ey have advo-cated on behalf of Bothell locally and throughout the region; fought to preserve open space; and supported the protection of our neighborhoods. � ey are committed to � scal responsibility, man-aged growth and ensuring that Bothell receives its fair share in regional issues. � eir experience, leadership and openness will be a breath of fresh air—and critical to restoring faith in our city leadership.Tara Adams and Gerald Eller, Bothell

Vote for Davina Duerr for Bothell City Council

Please vote for Davina Duerr for Bothell City Council.

Given her years of community work and involvement, she’s already proven her diligence and dedication to making Bothell a special place to live. As an architect, she’s been an invalu-able ten-year member of Bothell’s Landmark Preservation Board and has been chairperson since 2008.

Davina has also served as vice-president of the Northshore School foundation and co-founded a grassroots funding e� ort that has raised over $26,000 to support homeless children within the school district. � ese are just some examples of her compassionate, committed leadership. Bothell needs that leadership.

In their July endorsement, the Seattle Times declared that Davina is the best choice for a council that needs to rebuild trust, increase transparency and manage growth. � ey stated Davina’s proven community experience should make her an asset as Bothell continues its down-town redevelopment and works to maintain its charm while accommodating growth.

I couldn’t agree more. Based on her incred-ible primary results, the vast majority of Bothell voters agreed as well. � ere is one more elec-tion to go and it is imperative that we all vote for Davina in November. Let’s make sure this stellar candidate becomes our new Bothell City Council-person.Meg Connelly, Bothell

A pointed question for Tim Ottersburg

Responsible growth: Tim Ottersburg says to ensure responsible growth, and as quoted on his website, to “secure land for green spaces and parks while we still can.” Tim has further tried to portray his opponent, James McNeal as representing the interest of pro-growth builders, despite his active involvement in the founding of OneBothell, the non-pro� t group dedicated to preserving open spaces. At the same time, Tim is endorsed by two of the City Council members who voted in an emergency council session to appeal a state ruling that provides safeguards for open spaces, and protections from environ-mental damage,

and failed to gain the endorsement of those City Council members who dis-sented on seeking an appeal on this ruling.

Given these facts, Tim Ottersburg claimed support for open spaces seems to be contradicted by the en-dorsements his candidacy has and hasn’t received. Is he being disingenuous in projecting his position on open spaces, and misrepre-senting the position of his opponent?Judith Carpenter, Bothell

Gorc is dangerous for Bothell

The attempt to paint Roz Gorc as anything other than a potential City Council insider is dangerous. Be a smart voter, and do your homework concerning her personal affiliations. Just look at the City Council videos, and you will see Ms. Gorc defending the mayor in his infamous attempt to develop the Wayne Golf Course.

Even though his outra-geous venture to buy the golf course was exposed, by the public and the press, Ms. Gorc continued to support the mayor and his cronies. She appar-ently did not feel the need to preserve the trees, the wildlife, the environment and the open space. The City Council does not need another follower in the “behind the door dealings” of this council. We need a leader, that’s why I support Andy Rheaume.Dr. Robert J. Tadlock, Bothell

Rheaume will represent all of Bothell, not just a few special interests

In a recent news article, Andy Rheaume’s opponent characterized that he had a history of being on the losing end of 5-2 votes as a reason that she would be more qualified.

In response to that rather glib comment, I would

tell Mr. Rheaume that he should continue to oppose any scandalous self-serving behavior by fellow council members that is not in the best interest of the residents of Bothell.

Based on the primary results, where Mr. Rheaume received over 56 percent of the vote in a three-way race, I’d say Bothell residents concur wholeheartedly. So does the Seattle Times. In their endorsement of Mr. Rheaume, they pointed out that he had been a thought-ful leader since joining the council and that he has provided valuable perspec-tive on projects like the City Hall development,which he opposed as to costly. He also opposed the parks and public spaces bond measure, arguing for invest-ments to be spread more evenly around the city.

Mr. Rheaume’s opponent, a close ally of Freed’s, pub-licly endorsed and support-ed the mayors outrageous action of secretly buying the Wayne Golf course property for his own de-velopment company rather than working to secure

funding for the city to pur-chase it for an open space preservation. Her support for the mayor and other council members shows a continued lack of character and in my opinion should be a huge red flag for voters.

Andy Rheaume has my vote because he has shown character and the will to represent all of Bothell, not just a few special interests.Terry R. Cays, Bothell

Ottersburg is a clear choice

for Bothell City Council

Tim Ottersburg a clear choice for City Council. He is an involved community member who will bring independence and integ-rity to the council. Bothell citizens are sick of insiders with conflicts of interest. James McNeal works in the homebuilding industry and is not independent when it comes to making decisions about growth and develop-ment. McNeal also lives

just a few doors down from a sitting member of the Bothell City Council – one neighborhood doesn’t need two members on the city council, especially when that neighborhood wants to spend millions of our tax dollars to buy land next to their homes. Bothell needs balance and independence on the City Council, and I believe Tim Ottersburg can deliver this.Ami McCallum, Bothell

doors in 1990 and currently offers around 45 degrees in core fields such as science, technology, education, mathematics, engineering and nursing.

Jessica Dowell is an educa-tion major in her junior year at UW Bothell.

“I think that’s great, I think the minimum wage should definitely be bumped up,” she said.

In 2014, the university en-rolled around 5,000 students, and employed more than 700 staff and faculty, not includ-ing student employees.

Hall said the university budgeted for the increases, so the higher wages won’t be funded through additional student fees.

This stands in contrast to the university’s Seattle branch, which funds some positions through student fees, according to a press re-lease issued by the university.

The Seattle branch pay raises will affect around 5,500 workers, including around 3,500 student employees, the release said. Nearly 44,800 students were enrolled at the Seattle branch in 2014.

A spokeswoman for Cas-cadia College, which shares the UW Bothell campus, said in a prepared statement they will not be raising their mini-mum wage to $15 an hour.

“As a small community college, we operate under different employment rules, bargaining agreements and fiscal constraints,” the state-ment read.

Incoming Cascadia freshmen Gio Boff and Alex Arntson hope their college eventually follows UW.

“There isn’t enough time in the work week to have enough money for personal and school costs,” Arntson said.

“And having enough time to go to college,” said Boff.

The UW Bothell decision marks the first time a major entity on the Eastside has opted to raise the minimum wage. The Seattle mayor and City Council approved a city-wide plan to raise the mini-mum wage to $15 in June of last year, with wages rising to

$11 an hour last April during a graduated phase-in.

Seattle’s decision was preceded by the city of Sea-Tac voting to raise wages in 2013. Other cities includ-ing Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C. and San Francisco have either passed $15 minimum wage laws, or are considering them.

Hall hopes an increase in income will allow student employees to focus more on their studies.

“It’ll help them, it will give them a little bit of a financial boost,” she said. “This will certainly enhance the student experience.”

On a misty � ursday morning, two area � re agen-cies met at the Northshore Fire Department training facility to hone their skills.

As they scrambled up lad-ders, lowered dummies and cleared rooms, Woodinville Fire and Rescue recruits, clad in brown uniforms, drilled under the watchful eyes of senior � re� ghters on one side of the building.

From around the parking lot, a Northshore � re engine pulled along the opposite side of the structure and de-partment � re� ghters jumped out, running hoses to the second story balcony before throwing open a door and spraying down the interior. Even with two � re agencies training, and usually many more, the building nick-named ‘� e Funhouse,’ still had plenty of space for ad-ditional � re� ghters to train.

� is was the idea behind the expansive Northshore Fire Department Station 51, Captain Mitch Sauer said. � e entire � re station was built with growth in mind, possibly serv-ing as the headquar-ters for the proposed Northlake Regional Fire Au-thority’s (RFA), which would include areas currently serviced by the Northshore and Bothell � re departments, Woodinville Fire and Rescue and Snohomish County Fire District 10.

� e imposing � ve-and-a-half story structure is one of only three training centers in the East Metro Train-ing Group, which encom-passes eight � re agencies

and around 35 � re stations spanning from Shoreline, across to Woodinville and all the way down to Bellevue and Mercer Island. � e other

large training center is in Bellevue with a smaller

one in Shoreline.“It’s de� nitely

valuable,” Sauer said. “Obviously training

is probably the most important thing we can

do behind physical � tness and health.”

Fire o� cials believe the fa-cility greatly bene� ts regional agencies. Its central location allows Bothell, Woodinville and Shoreline to train every � ursday for an hour-and-a-half session.

“Being a neighboring department, obviously they partner with nearby agen-cies, which is kudos to them,” said Bothell Fire Department

Chief of Training Ron Wick. “It’s a tremendous facility.”

Shoreline Fire Department Training Program Coordina-tor Rachel Garlini said her department works closely with Northshore and Bothell for training and emergency response.

“One of the great things about Station 51 is they have live � re training capabilities,” she said. Shoreline’s train-ing station doesn’t facilitate

live � ame training, so her department runs these drills once a year at Northshore’s station.

Northshore’s Station 51 was funded through $17 mil-lion in bonds approved by area voters in 2008. It cannot be re� nanced until 2018. � is has been a sticking point in RFA negotiations, though � re o� cials believe it will take until then to consol-idate a � re authority.

Outside departments, which train at the facility, are charged for costs accrued while training, including water, fog machine costs and electricity used.

“We de� nitely try to recoup those costs from the departments that are using it,” Sauer said.

If these fees were not in place, Northshore residents would end up shouldering the � nancial cost of all the agencies training. If a RFA was formed, that cost would be di� used throughout the serviced region.

“Collectively, we have the resources that individually we don’t,” Wick said. “You have e� ciencies by pooling

your resources together.” Area agencies already

respond to large � res or emergencies together.

Wick said no single-area � re agency has the capability to take on a large structure � re on their own, so agency intercommunication and coordination are essential parts of their training.

If a RFA was formed these practices would become even more uni� ed, allowing shorter response times.

A study session between the Bothell City Council and the Regional Fire Author-ity Planning Committee is scheduled for Oct. 13 to discuss the next steps in planning consolidation.

ter, a training center and a � re response station. It is the only training center in the area, and all three � re agencies that would be party to the RFA train on-site.

“Because it’s a regional asset, the Northshore commissioners feel the other agencies should participate in paying o� the remaining debt,” said Northshore Fire Depart-ment Fire Chief Jim

Torpin. Torpin believes the

bond should be halfway paid o� by 2018 when it is up for re� nancing, al-lowing a future RFA to as-sume less debt as a whole.

� e lack of an estab-lished guiding philosophy and vision for a RFA was also of concern to the committee.

A motion proposed by Bothell Deputy Mayor Del Spivey at the meeting, and which was passed by the

committee, establishes two subcommittees to examine � nancial considerations and another to develop governance models for the � re authority. � e motion also mandated the com-mittee as a whole to begin establishing guiding prin-cipals moving forward.

Woodinville Fire and Rescue Commissioner Roger Collins said despite setbacks negotiations are continuing, and Agnew said the issue could be presented to voters within two years.

“� ere’s almost uni-versal positive attitudes towards some form of regionalization,” Collins said. “Our focus is on a regional � re authority, but we are also looking at other alternatives to pro-viding a regional model.”

Torpin agreed with Collin’s sentiments, but said there was still a lot of work to do before the

Northlake Regional Fire Authority could be put to the ballot.

“� ere would be some things that we could do that individually we can’t do, so I think the end product [RFA] would be better,” Torpin said. “� ere’s a lot of decisions that need to be made.”

Representatives from the four � re agencies formed a Regional Fire Authority Planning Com-mittee in September 2013 to begin discussing the possibility of merging.

State legislation passed in 2004 allows vari-ous � re agencies to form regional � re authorities.

Fire authorities are distinct from � re districts as it allows a planning commit-tee to determine the type of governance for the RFA, whereas a � re district is governed by elected � re commissioners.

Funding for city � re departments also di� ers from � re districts and � re authorities. City � re funds are raised through various taxes and paid by the city, Agnew said.

Bothell residents cur-rently pay around $1.46 per $1,000 of assessed property value and other taxes to fund the � re de-partment, according to a study by Emergency Services Consulting Inter-national authorized by the RFA planning committee.

RFAs are � nancially autonomous and self-sustaining organizations, like � re districts, which do not rely on individual

cities for funding. � eir greater size, reduction of redundant positions and streamlining of emergency response and training may provide long-term savings for taxpayers.

Consequently, a RFA may choose to adopt a � re bene� ts charge funding model where taxes per $1,000 of assessed prop-erty value is reduced to no more than one dollar, and buildings area-assessed and charged indepen-dently based on their size, risk factors and how many resources would be

required to � ght a � re on the property.

Consequently, a warehouse or manufacturing

plant would see much higher rates

than a 1,500 square foot family home, and a larger home would have higher rates than a smaller one. Woodinville and North-shore � re districts operate under this model, with Northshore charging a combined e� ective tax rate of around $1.36 per $1,000 in property value according to the ESCI study.

State law allows up to 60 percent of an RFAs fund-ing to come from the � re bene� ts charge, which can generate more revenue than a property tax alone.

Forming a RFA funded through property taxes alone requires approval from a simple majority of area voters. Funding based on a � re bene� ts charge and taxes requires more than 60 percent voter approval, and must be re-

approved by voters every six years.

During recessions when property values drop, funding for government agencies like � re depart-ments follow suit, � re o� cials said.

“Financially, municipal-ity � re departments are having a hard time just because their costs are go-ing up and their revenue hasn’t, for the most part,” Agnew said.

In 2007, the cities of Auburn, Paci� c and An-gola formed the � rst RFA in the state and adopted a � re service-charge model.

� is resulted in higher short-term rates, but Valley RFA Deputy Chief Mike Gerber believes the long-term cost savings have o� set the initial buy-in costs through eliminat-ing redundant positions, freeing up city o� cials and resources and mod-ernizing infrastructure and equipment.

“Within a couple years, Auburn received better service in their jurisdic-tion,” he said.

Two new � re stations were created in Auburn and another was remod-eled; the city of Paci� c was immediately able to sta� their stations around the clock when the regional � re authority was imple-mented, and with greater coverage emergency response times dropped dramatically, Gerber said.

A study session between the Bothell City Council and the RFA planning committee was held last week as negotiations move forward.

Fourteen teams of chili cooks and community mem-

bers took part in the annual Chilifest and raised nearly $600 for local food bank Hopelink on Thursday night at the Evergreen-Washelli Fu-neral Home in Bothell.

The event also raised 124 pounds of food for the food bank, which will provide about 357 meals. Both the total money and food raised during the event broke last year’s marks.

Inside the ninth annual event, chefs were busy preparing their tables, stacking cups and laying out cornbread, crackers and kettle corn.

“Food is kind of part of our culture,” said Sebas-tian Falcon, 26, as he manned the Evergreen Church booth. “It’s all about community.”

Exotic chili names

ranging from Chocolate Chili and Nothing Bundt to Chili for Life and Thunder Down Under found their way into tiny paper cups as dozens of connoisseurs milled around the room.

“I only tried one so far,” said Julias Kazen. “Looks like a great event, I can’t wait to taste all the chili.”

Dale Amundsen has been organizing the event for nine years and is still as enthusiastic about it as ever.

“It’s just a lot of fun,” he said.

While the event was free, participants who wanted to vote on the People’s Choice chili had to buy a vote for one dollar. They picked the Chocolate Chili by SBL Rentals.

The coveted Burnt Spoon award, given to the best hot chili, was awarded to Hugg and Associates, named the Flamethrower.

Staying Connected Can Transform Seniors’ HealthQ and A with Dr. Kevin O’Neil, Brookdale Chief Medical OfficerDoes loneliness affect seniors’ wellbeing?Yes, it can have a profound nega-tive impact, both psychologically and physically. Loneliness among seniors can lead to debilitating depression, high blood pressure, dementia and shorter life spans. Time and again, we see that when we can help them overcome lone-liness, make new friends and feel part of a caring community again, seniors are transformed, with even their physical health improving.

Why is it so detrimental?Social connections are vital for people of all ages because humans are wired, so to speak, as social beings. But research shows that emotional ties are even more important for seniors. At the same time, they are vulnerable to los-ing these bonds through the death of a spouse, grown children busy with their own lives and often far away, and long-time friends relo-cating to be near their own fami-lies. But these events shouldn’t just be accepted as something to endure as part of aging. They are losses that can have a substan-tial impact, leading to loneliness

that can and should be addressed in helping seniors live to their utmost capacity.

What does Brookdale do to helpseniors overcome loneliness?Brookdale is a true pioneer and innovator on this issue. Since our founding more than two decades ago, we have focused on provid-ing what we call “Optimum Life.” Brookdale’s senior living com-munities go well beyond physical support. We involve our residents with new friends and engage them in meaningful programs that bring them together with others who share their interests. We help them learn communica-tions technologies such as video-chat to better connect them with family and longtime friends far away. This is why we say closer relationships live here every day.

More than half of people who have hypertension,

a.k.a. high blood pressure,

don’t know enough about the condition and are unable to control it properly, ac-cording to a new survey.

O� entimes patients don’t even correctly understand the meaning of the word “hypertension,” and think

of it more in terms of stress, anxiety, or other psychologi-cal disturbance rather than what it actually is, namely a physiological dysfunction that can turn into a chronic disease if untreated, the researchers found.

Many healthcare professionals use the words “hyper-tension” and “high blood pressure” in-terchangeably when talking to their patients, which can be confusing for some, said Dr. Bar-bara Bokhour, a professor of health policy and manage-ment at Boston University School of Public Health and co-author of the study report, to Reuters.

Explained in a nutshell, blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of blood vessels. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Mea-suring involves two read-ings: systolic, indicating the

pressure as the heart pumps blood out, and diastolic, the remaining pressure as the heart relaxes and re� lls with blood.

Normal blood pressure ranges below 120 systolic and 80 diastolic. Readings of

120 to139 systolic or 80 to 89 diastolic are considered “pre-hypertension,” meaning there is a risk of develop-ing hypertension without interven-tion. Everything above 140 over 90 is

categorized as hypertension of various stages, with 180+ over 110+ seen as a medical emergency.

Hypertension can build up for years without ever showing discernable symp-toms. But le� uncontrolled, it can lead to life-threatening complications like kidney disease and heart disease as well as heart attack and stroke.

Hypertension is a grow-

ing worldwide epidemic. � e number of people living with the disease has crossed the 1 billion mark in 2008 and is predicted to reach well over 1.5 billion within the next ten years, according to the World Health Organi-zation (WHO). � e causes are seen to a large degree as diet and lifestyle-related, including excessive con-sumption of salt and alcohol as well as excess weight and lack of physical activity.

Against widely shared assumption, hyperten-sion is not a disease that predominantly occurs with age. Recent studies found that young adults in their 20s and 30s are now increas-ingly at risk as well, facing complications much sooner than generations before them.

For this reason it is extremely important to keep blood pressure as low as possible, especially in the � rst half of adult life, said Dr. Joao Lima, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University and lead author of one such study, ideally even below the recommend-ed limits.

Take part in Bothell’s Adopt-A-Drain program

During the fall, leaves and other debris can clog storm drains, leaving neighborhoods at risk for flooding. Many residents mistakenly blow or sweep their fallen leaves into the street, not realizing they become a safety hazard.

City crews do their best to sweep and clear the streets, but with more than 8,000 storm drains in the city of Bothell, it’s no simple task.

There are many ways to safeguard yourself and your community:

• Rake leaves into your yard waste bin.

• Use leaves as mulch on garden beds and land-scaped areas.

• Join the Adopt-A-Drain Program and pledge to remove leaves from at least four storm

drains in your area.• Tell your friends and

neighbors how they can help.

Adopt-A-Drain Pro-gram

Volunteer to keep at least four storm drains clear in your neighbor-hood. The city of Bothell will provide you with simple instructions and equipment. Extra yard waste bags are available through the program as well. Adopt-A-Drain is a great service project for a family, school group, scout troop or neighbor-hood.

After five years of preparation, construction and

anticipation, the McMe-namin’s Anderson School in Bothell held a pre-opening Tuesday night and will open its doors to the public this weekend.

“It is just a very unique space,” said John VanDrak, during the pre-opening. “It’s going to be a great space for the commu-nity. The before and after is pretty dramatic.”

The new business, which is the anchor for the rede-velopment of downtown Bothell, was packed for the invitation-only event.

“It is amazingly creative,” said Ann Aagaard about the photos and art on the walls, which include Bothell resident Sen. Patty Murray and Wilbert Anderson.

McMeniman’s is an Oregon chain of iconic brewpubs/hotels which were started in 1974 by two brothers whose establish-

ments bear their namesake. Described as the largest

project they’ve ever under-taken, the brothers Mike and Brian have been work-ing on the 70-room hotel and entertainment complex since 2010.

Anderson School features a restaurant, pub, movie theater, live-music space, spa, garden, pool and meet-ing room.

“I like the little cozy nooks,” said Ann Williams, during the event.

The nearly five-and-a-half acre plot with the building was initially pur-chased for $7 million.

“We are very excited about the McMenamins opening. It’s already bring-ing attention to Bothell, and it’s a big part of our downtown economic devel-opment,” said city of Bothell spokeswoman Barbara Ramey. “Having businesses come in, like McMenamins, will help the community and be a big benefit.”

It includes the old North-shore Pool, which has been renovated and residents

can now use free of charge for 15 years pursuant to an agreement signed by the city and the McMenamin brothers.

The Anderson School itself was built in 1931 and is an iconic landmark in downtown Bothell.

Seattle-area favorites The Fresh Young Fellows will be breaking in McMenamin’s live venue tonight with their classic alternative rock.

“We’re always excited to play, and more so these days since we don’t play that often,” said frontman Scott McCaughey.

This show marks only their third this year for a band that’s been playing to-gether since the mid-1980s.

Despite starting in the Seattle area, McCaughey lives in Portland these days, and says it’s been a while since he’s been in Bothell.

McCaughey said they’ve been to other McMenamins venues like the Edgefield or Crystal Ballroom and are excited to see what Bothell’s Anderson School will be like.

The free show begins at 8 p.m. with the band Unlikely Friends opening, and The Fresh Young Fellows taking the stage at 9:30 p.m.

University of Washington Bothell and Cascadia Col-lege opened a new student Activities and Recreation center on their joint cam-pus Wednesday morning, culminating a six-year process between students, faculty and outside contrac-tors.

Assistant Students of the University of Washington Bothell President Dominick Juarez said students wanted a new recreation center. He helped initiate the process around 2009.

“� ey came up with the idea of the student activity center,” he said.

Students also fund the 36,000-square-foot build-ing, which cost around $20 million to build, through a $100-per-quarter student

fee.While considering design

and structural options, a planning committee toured various student recreation centers in the region, including one at Central Washington University.

Comprised of three � oors, a striking color palate selected by students dominates the building.

A wide-open top � oor, used for events and a general hang-out area, is decked out in cerulean blue from � oor to ceiling. Nine large TVs form one screen and rows of speakers hang from the ceiling. Walkways connect it to the North Creek Event Center.

� e main � oor is awash in vivid lime green, housing student government o� ces and a meeting room dedi-cated to providing a space for social justice organiza-

tion.On the bottom � oor,

neon orange lockers and walls hold students’ belong-ings as they work out in a brand-new gym complete with a mirror-lined room for yoga, zoomba and other exercises.

Student input was key in designing all aspects of the building and not just the color scheme, said student director of the Activities and Recreation Center Evan Carman.

“Students in the spring got a chance to really leave their mark on the building,” Carman said.

A support beam’s surface in the lobby was le� ex-posed and covered with the signatures of students who contributed to the building.

Incorporated into the ar-chitecture was a concern for the building’s environmen-

tal impact, said UW Bothell spokeswoman Lisa Hall. A restored wetland sits behind the center, which is used for research and preserved by the university.

Environmentally friendly systems, such as construct-ing the building to let more light in during the winter and less in the summer, were implemented to reduce energy consump-tion. Four gender-neutral restrooms are also spread throughout the building.

Only one window was installed on the building’s southern face to facilitate future expansion.

� e center sports a video game corner with a game li-brary for all students, along with 50 laptops available for the student government.

Students from both colleges can utilized the recreation center.

A Woodinville man was sentenced to two years in prison,

six months longer than the recommended sentence, for leaving the scene of a single-vehicle accident in Kirkland last September that left a Kenmore man, Kyle Reel, dead.

Thomas Cushman Bird, II of Woodinville, 48, pled guilty in August to first degree vehicular homicide, second-degree vehicular assault and third-degree hit-and-run attended. He

was originally facing a potential sentence of 42 months in prison, but at his sentencing on Sept. 25 the judge handed down a 48-month sentence.

Reel’s mother, Anita Reel, who attended Bird’s Sept. 25 sentencing, said afterwards Bird gave her and other members of Kyle’s family a dirty look.

“I have never seen such a mean person in my whole life,” she said. “If looks could kill, his would have.”

Although he has no prior felony convictions, prosecutors stated Bird has an extensive history of

violating traffic laws going back to 1989, including negligent driving, reck-less driving, hit-and-run attended and unattended and no valid operator’s license with valid identifi-cation (NVOL).

The accident occurred late in the evening on Sept. 19 after Bird had been drinking at a local Kirkland casino with several friends, includ-ing Kenmore resident and Redmond High School graduate Kyle J. Reel and Dave “Beaver” Zielinski, one of the fisherman on the boat “Time Bandit,” featured on Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch. Then they left in a Porsche Bird borrowed from a friend.

At around 10:45 p.m., police believe Cushman was going around 80 mph in a 35 mph zone when he lost control, crossed into

the oncoming lane, left the roadway and crashed into a fence and up an embankment at Simonds Road Northeast and 92nd Avenue Northeast. The accident site is on the Kirkland and Kenmore boundary.

The impact threw Reel, who had been sitting behind the driver’s seat, into the front of the car, causing him to suffer fatal injuries. When responding bystanders arrived they mistakenly believed he was the driver and pulled him out.

Barely conscious from severe rib fractures, Zielin-ski told people that “Bird” had been driving, which police at the scene as-sumed was a nickname for Reel, the presumed driver.

Bird left the scene of the accident immediately, despite suffering signifi-cant injuries, and walked

to Zielinski’s home three miles away.

He was discovered there the next morning when a friend arrived to take care of Zielinski’s dogs. After explaining to her what had happened, Bird told the person not to contact the police or medics, accord-ing to prosecutor’s presen-tence report. It was then the police discovered that Reel was not the driver.

Police were then in-formed that a Shoreline medic unit had responded to the Zielinski residence to treat Bird, who eventu-ally was transported to Haborview Medical Cen-ter. Bird was found to have injuries that were con-sistent with that of a car accident, according to the medic supervisor who con-tacted the police. They also claimed Bird had admitted to the medics he had been driving the Porsche.

As part of his guilty plea, Bird is prohibited from having any contact with Zielinski.

The Reporter first be-came aware of the mis-taken identity after it was contacted by Anita Reel, who insisted her son had not been behind the wheel and would not have driven while intoxicated. Kirk-land Police Department

officials, while maintain-ing that the crash was still under investigation, con-firmed her claims that her son was not the driver.

The blood alcohol level of Bird could not be con-firmed by police.

At the hospital, Kirkland police questioned Bird, who allegedly stopped speaking with them once he learned Reel had been killed. He was arrested and then released on his own recognizance.

During the followup investigation, casino video footage showed Bird had consumed at least six alcoholic beverages at the Kirkland casino approxi-mately between 8:05-10:17 p.m. The footage also showed Bird getting into the driver’s seat of the Porsche as it left the casino at around 10:34 p.m.

After news got out about Reel’s death, friends and family have also left photos and flowers at the site of the crash. His celebration of life ceremony was held Sept. 28 at the VFW Hall in Redmond. A lifelong self-employed business-man, he eventually moved up to Bristol Bay in Alaska to work as a fisherman and was described by his moth-er as honest and funny.

Judge goes beyond recommended sentence for driver in deadly crash

The Northshore area has a long history of thirsty patrons and

entrepreneurs willing to roll the dice to try and satisfy them, a tradition which dates back to prohibition.

Sitting in the 192 Brewing taproom along the Burke-Gilman Trail in Kenmore last Friday, owner Derek Wycko� said this part of the area’s history helped inspired him to set up shop.

“I just started looking and knew I wanted to stay in Kenmore,” Wycko� said. “� e customers were so emphatic that we must pour beer at a tap room owned by us.”

Wycko� started brewing in 2006 out of his garage before eventually building a small, 192 square foot shed which still houses his brewing operation where he makes around 500 gallons, or only 15 barrels, a year. He joined only a handful of local breweries in 2007 and open-ing the taproom a couple years later, joining long-time area brewers Red Hook who have been operating out of Redmond since 1994.

� e 192 Brewing taproom serves only Washington-produced beer and wine,

with local promotion an issue Wycko� said he feels strongly about in a highly competitive market.

He relies on contracting with Lazy Boy in Everett for mass production while brew-ing the test batches on his own, but with large amounts of unused space in his cur-rent location, he’s looking toward the future brewing whiskey.

“We’ll be expanding as soon as we can a� ord to with the distillery,” he said.

Cra� brewing has taken o� in Washington over the

past few years, with the national Brewer’s Associa-tion in 2014 listing 256 small breweries in the state, second in number only to California.

“It’s happening all over, in Spokane, Bellingham and Central Washington,” Washington Beer Commis-sion Executive Director Eric Radovich said. “People are buying cra� beer, it’s growing leaps and bounds and it’s mostly small breweries mak-ing small batches.”

Radovich has a theory on cra� beer’s popularity in Washington.

“It just plain tastes better. It’s more complex and I think given the Northwest, we have kind of a palate for something beyond the main-stream,” he said. “� ere’s a lot of foodies and co� ee junkies, and I think cra� beer kind of � ts that mood.”

� e Kenmore City Coun-cil took note of this trend years ago, including it in their 2009 economic devel-opment strategy making the creation of a micro-brewery scene along the Burke-Gil-man Trail a priority.

“� is is one of those times that reality has followed the policy,” said Kenmore As-sistant City Manager Nancy Ousley. “I think a micro-brewery is more in keeping with what I think of when I

think of Kenmore.” Sitting right next door is

the newly opened Nine Yards Brewing, where co-owner Ethan Savaglio opened up the brewery earlier this year with two friends. It’s wide-open design houses a large wooden bar, a projector and also serves as their brewery.

“When we � rst came in here, the place was pretty ratty,” Savaglio said.

Nine Yards used to be various industrial and me-chanical businesses, which took its toll on the building, requiring them to put in large amounts of time to � x it up. � e location also had to be rezoned earlier this year by the Kenmore City Council for light industrial so Nine Yards could brew on the property.

Savaglio said his taproom is primarily focused on mid-range to low alcohol content beer, with most falling be-tween four to six percent.

“We really enjoy a well-balanced beer,” he said. “We are essentially a session beer house.”

Notably, Savaglio said they choose not to brew IPA style beers, noted for their bitter, hoppy tastes and high alcohol content. Session beer generally has lower alcohol content, allowing those who

drink it to monitor their intoxication easier, he said.

“We are very much fo-cused on creating a commu-nity space, that’s the kind of pace we want to foster,” said Savaglio.

Another block down on 73rd Avenue Northeast, Bill and Jen Boyd were hard at work renovating the soon-to-be Cairn Brewery in Kenmore’s business incuba-tor, a building owned by the city which o� ers start-ups cheap rent to get them on their feet.

“I’ve been home brewing for years just as a hobby, a passion,” Bill Boyd said.

� ey said their permits are all in order, and they’re tenta-tively shooting for a February opening once their industrial brewing equipment arrives. Like the other brewery owners along Burke-Gilman Trail, they are excited about o� ering bikers and walkers a place to rest and enjoy a beer.

“We really wanted to be on an urban trail, that was really important to us,” Jen Boyd said.

“We very much see the brewery as being a very social atmosphere, we really appreciate that aspect of it,” Bill Boyd said.

A� er winning a six-and-a-half year battle with cancer, Bothell resident Annie Carl is taking another leap of faith and opening her own used book store.

Standing amid piles of books and wood in her store at the Logdon Building in downtown Bothell, the 31-year-old makes no secret of the role books have played in her life, starting from be-fore she was born when her mother would read to her.

“She would read just out loud to her pregnant belly,” Carl said smiling. “We were in a house full of books. My parents were both avid readers.”

Originally from Kingston, she started working in Mr. B’s Bookery at 15, where she was paid in books until being hired on a year later. She worked there through her college days until she gradu-ated with a bachelors degree in journalism from Western Washington University.

“My family and I had kind of become a part of their extended family,” she said.

In 2008 she was diagnosed with stage-four non-Hodgkins lymphoma. A� er months of chemotherapy

and radiation, her cancer was sent into remission, and in 2014 she learned she was cancer free.

A� er her more than six-year battle with cancer, Carl said she was ready to turn a new page.

“At this point in my life, it’s like I’ve gotta give this a shot, because why not?” she said.

Her shop, � e Neverend-ing Bookshop is set to open

Oct. 24, with a wide variety of used books. Carl said she’s especially excited about the kids corner where her friend will be painting a mural.

As for Carl, she’s a science � ction junkie.

“I could converse for hours about all things nerdy,” she said.

She’s also participated in the National Novel Writing Month during November for

the past seven years, writing more than 50,000 words for each dra� .

Carl said she’s trying to avoid loans and set up a gofundme account to get the business o� the ground. To donate, visit https://www.gofundme.com/ub59cjzk.

� e Logsdon Building is located in downtown Bothell at 10123 Main Place.

Inglemoor students organize a 5K run

The local Ken-more chapter of the nonprofit organiza-tion Hugs for Ghana, administrated by six Inglemoor High School students, will be hosting its first 5K run on Nov. 14. The 5K race will begin and end at Saint Edward State Park in Kenmore at 10 a.m., regardless of weather conditions.

This event will raise money to help under-privileged youth in Ghana access oppor-tunities and resources for their future.

In honor of the unwavering hope and driven tenacity of the Ghanaian youth, the race will be spirit-themed. Participants are encouraged to dress in spirit gear in support of any cause or organization they believe in. Registration

is currently available on the Kenmore Hugs for Ghana website; participant fees will cost $25 until Oct. 31, $30 until Nov. 14 and $35 on the day of the race.

The Spirit 5K is open to runners of all levels and ages. Partic-ipants will receive an event t-shirt, bag, food and beverages. Parking spots are available at Saint Edward State Park but will be valid only with a Discover Pass, which can be purchased on-site for $10 for one day or $30 for one year.

Kenmore Hugs for Ghana is a chapter of a student-led nonprofit organization known as Hugs for Ghana and is led by six high school students. Its mission is to share hope, love, and confidence with Ghana’s youngest citi-zens through creative grassroots projects and item donations so that in the future, these youth can positively contribute to their own communities.
