For University of Washing-ton Bothell junior Anthony Hopkins, the opportunity to participate in tomorrow’s Seattle Brain Cancer Walk represents the next chapter in his incredible success story.

Four years ago, just a� er his sophomore year of high school at Bishop Blanchet in Seattle, the Greenwood resident went into surgery at Swedish Hospital to remove a large tumor in his brain.

Since then, it’s been a long, hard road to recovery, but Hopkins hopes his story will inspire others similarly a� ict-ed, to believe that they can beat the disease as he did.

“Showing that everybody has a second chance, and that anything’s possible,” said Hopkins on what participat-ing in the Walk means to him. “And that once a cure is found, I won’t be the only one walking, there will be tons of people walking, survivors and patients.”

SHOWING SYMPTOMSHopkins’ symptoms of the

tumor began at a very young age.

In fact, he was so young, that the diagnosis of brain cancer never even entered the equation.

“� e � rst time I started having the symptoms, I was seven years old, and they said it must have been a migraine,” Hopkins remembered. “I came in two years later and they said it was low blood sugar, they told me to eat a bunch of almonds. My whole life I was eating almonds.”

As Hopkins progressed through grade school and middle school, however, his symptoms worsened.

He would forget how to speak, and have extremely high fevers of 103 degrees or more along with bouts of extreme fatigue and amnesia.

“If someone was talking to me, I’d forget everything they said in literally, one second,” Hopkins recalled.

Along with the frustra-tion of being misdiagnosed for nine years, the shock of having cancer at the age of 16 was hard to take.

“I was like, ‘there has to be some kind of mistake,’” said Hopkins. “I can’t believe it’s this major.”

In June of 2008, the neurosurgical team at Swed-

ish successfully removed an egg-sized tumor from Hopkins’ le� temporal lobe, and Hopkins’ long process of physical and emotional heal-ing began.

HITTING THE BOOKSA� er the surgery, Hopkins

was set to begin his junior year of high school, the most important year of a student’s

prep education as far as get-ting into college.

While his teachers were understanding and did what they could to help the young man succeed, the memory loss he su� ered made being a student much more di� cult.

“I’d spend double my time studying, and it was really hard, because all the new memory you have goes in

the le� temporal lobe, and a giant chunk of that is gone,” he noted. “All I could do is try and push myself.”

Hopkins eventually graduated and was accepted into UW-Bothell, where the academics got even harder.

But the 21-year-old was ready for the challenge.

He took advantage of the school’s many resources and

small class sizes to get the ad-ditional help he needed as he pursued a full courseload.

“� e community and the teachers,” said Hopkins on what he enjoys most about being a Husky at UW-Both-ell. “� e teachers are really nice here… and you don’t have to � ght through 25 TAs.

You can get the information you need, and the tutors here really help me out because there’s some things I still can’t comprehend as easily as other people.”

Earlier this summer, Hopkins found out he got

accepted into one of the most rigorous and demand-ing majors offered at UW-Bothell, Computer Software Systems (CSS), proving all of his hard work paid off.

“It requires a lot of memo-rization,” said Hopkins on studying in the CSS field. “It was definitely a lot of work I

had to do, and learning styles I had to (draw) from.”

A FRESH PERSPECTIVEAs a teen dealing with the

health issues he had to face on a daily basis, it would have been easy for Hopkins to develop a cynical outlook on life.

Over time, his challenges had the exact opposite effect on him.

“It definitely has changed everything,” he said. “When they told me I had a brain tu-mor, and they said it was the size of an egg, I thought I was going to die. It’s kind of hard to explain unless you’ve been there, but you have to grasp every day as if it’s your last.”

He has also turned down

special accommodations during classes, such as the ability to use notes or get extra time during exams.

“I don’t feel I necessarily

want to do that,” he admit-ted. “That’s changing 16 years of my lifestyle, and I still have the confidence in myself I can do it. I proved

to myself I could do it by getting into my major.”

At Saturday’s Brain Cancer Walk, which starts at Seattle Center’s Founders Court at 9 a.m., Hopkins said he wants to encourage others to keep fighting and tell people that, as his neurosurgeon Dr. Gwinn often told him, “ev-erything’s going to be okay.”

He has also been very active in raising funds for the cause, sending out flyers around campus, using social media to promote aware-ness, and setting a personal fundraising goal of $1,000 to go towards brain cancer research, patient care, and finding a cure.

“I want to get everyone in this area connected, because it is a big deal,” said Hopkins on his efforts to spread the word around campus. “I just hope to see more people there every year – it keeps on expanding. The goal is to see the money go up each year.”

Above all, Hopkins’ ordeal has taught him never to take anything in his life for granted.

“You never know when you’re going to pass (on), and when you do, you might as well be happy,” he said. “I try not to focus on the negatives in life. If today’s going to be my last day, let it be great.”

UW-Bothell is a four-year undergraduate and graduate campus, located at 18115 Campus Way NE in Bothell. The campus enrolls approxi-mately 3,300 students and offers programs in Busi-ness, Arts-IAS, Engineering (CSS), Science/Technol-ogy and Nursing.

The $80,100 in funds were granted after a district-wide granting process which identified district needs that aligned with NSF’s funding initiatives of Literacy; Ad-vanced and Disadvantaged Learners; Teacher Excellence; Science, Technology, Engi-neering; and Enhancement

Programming.Funds from the grant will

be directed to the Career and College readiness programs in the following areas: Na-tional Board Teacher Certifi-cation, Community Schools, Advanced Math Education and Healthy Youth/McKin-ney Vento students.

Eighteen thousand dol-lars of this grant is going directly to teachers who have embarked on enhancing their lesson plans to innovatively incorporate new teaching

strategies and projects, while ensuring that students meet required benchmarks for learning.

“The innovative classroom grant process is one of our favorite things to fund,” Dalziel said. “It gives us an opportunity to support new thinking and creative ways of curriculum delivery. It’s exciting to invest in forward thinking.”

Local author releases anniversaryedition of beloved children’s bookRepoRteR StaFF

Bothell’s Keith Corner, 83, the author of The Magic Kriss Karpet back in 1987, has recently released the 25th anniversary edition of his classic story, retitled “The Magic Christmas Carpet,” through Everett publisher Tex Ware.

In this story, a boy named Brian decides to give a pair of glasses to his faithful old dog, Sir Jeffery. He doesn’t know, however, where he can get them. Then, the night before Christmas, he discovers the magic that will

take him to a faraway land which has not only differ-ent types of animal glasses,

but also many more wonderful and exciting things.

Brian then must choose between something for himself and the dog glasses for Sir Jeffery.

Illustrated by Sha-ron L. Richert, each

page is accompanied by a full-color drawing, bringing to life the exciting story of Brian and Sir Jeffery.

The original release of the book was picked up, spon-sored and advertised by local Nordstrom stores, and the book eventually sold about

4,000 copies, not including aftermarket sales.

Corner, a grandfather of eight, has written five children’s books, including Mee-Ander the Gander, Jaw-Jaw the Donkey, and The Gawky Giraffe.

One of Corner’s career highlights was being part of the team that helped launch the popular board game Pictionary, first published in 1985 by Seattle Games, Inc.

The Magic Christmas Carpet is available on Ama-zon.com, barnesandnoble.com and in eBook form.

For more information, contact Tex Ware Publish-ing at (425) 319-9366 or at [email protected].

The final week of August, Republicans nominated Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as their candidates for president and vice president. A couple weeks ago, Democrats nominated Barack Obama and Joe Biden as their choices.

This means the race for the White House – and all the other political offices – shifts into high gear. Unfortunately, it also means voters will be bombarded by attack ads and untruths.

Despite what you may read and hear in the next few months, we doubt that the people running for office are ax murderers, child molesters or serial killers. OK, so they really won’t be accused of that, but much of what opponents say about them won’t be true, either.

It’s sad that negative advertising has be-come such a force in our elections, but studies say voters are swayed by such tactics. As a result, almost anything goes. But that doesn’t mean you have to be taken along for the ride.

Voters are served best when they seek out and understand what a candidate champi-ons and what he or she says are his or her priorities if elected. If a candidate’s priorities align with yours, you may have someone you should support.

It’s also worthwhile – but it takes some work – to see what type of experience and/or background a candidate would bring to the job if elected. While there’s no guarantee that this makes for the best candidate, it can give a voter the feeling that the person is up to the task if elected.

How to ferret all of this out? Do your own research. Visit each candidate’s website to see where they stand on the issues. Attend candidate forums to see first-hand how the

candidates respond under pressure and if they are able to give the public a clear, concise answer to a question.

Finally, if birds of a feather flock together, look to see who is supporting the various candidates. Do these backers represent special interests, and if so, are they yours, too?

And finally, don’t believe everything you see in a TV political ad or what comes into your mailbox. Do your own homework – and vote what you decide.

Improvements coming to 228th and Bothell-Everett Highway

� e growth and development that Bothell has experience in the recent past is encouraging for the city’s economic health. However, with development comes increased tra� c volumes and congestion.

� e intersection of Bothell-Everett Highway and 228th Street SE serves as a gateway between I-405 and our community. Over the past � ve years, the City has worked in collaboration with Snohomish County and the Washington State Department of Transportation to develop solu-tions to ease the congestion at this intersection. � e solutions are costly as right of way around the intersection is already developed, leaving minimal property available for street widening.

� e growth on 228th Street SE, particularly the eastbound le� turn movement, presents a di� cult challenge.

Residents who travel this corridor have expressed their concerns to City sta� and to the Bothell-Kenmore Reporter. Possible solutions, including the addition or conversion of lanes to add a second le� turn lane, have been suggested and thoroughly evaluated, with the results showing the immediately available and inexpen-sive options would be ine� ective or unsafe.

� e solution to this critical issue is a multi-faceted reconstruction of the intersection to address the eastbound le� turn congestion, pedestrians’ crossing safety and collision reduc-tion. � e City recently secured a safety grant through the Federal Highway Administration to recon� gure the intersection to alleviate the backups, improve pedestrian safety and reduce collisions. � e design and construction of the revisions are scheduled to occur within the next two years.

We appreciate our community’s patience and understand as we continue to mitigate tra� c

growth at this intersection. � e City is optimis-tic that the improvements at this intersection will bring welcome relief to the current situa-tion.Erin J. Leonhart, Bothell Public Works Director

McCravey has best approach to education issue

Education in this state, as in so many other states across this nation, is su� ering from a plethora of problems. Among them are lack of appropriate and e� ectively focused funding, together with the unwillingness to objectively address the many operational issues hamstring-ing e� orts to improve the delivery of � rst class education to our students.

As Dawn McCravey has pointed out, the present incumbent. Senator McAuli� e, has been either unable or unwilling to address these is-sues. Good intentions are not enough and it is time for a change in leadership. � e status quo simply will not produce the needed improve-ments. Dawn McCravey is well placed to bring about the changes needed to improve our education system. Her record as an experienced school board member and involvement in all aspects of the school/community relationship is outstanding, her dedication unquestioned.

She is a clear thinker, passionate about educa-tion, well aware of what is at stake and willing to make the hard choices. She is clearly someone who can be trusted to dedicate her total e� ort in making the improvements in education we so desperately need.Michael P. Challenger, Bothell

McAuli� e’s dedication to Northshore deserves support

Rosemary McAuli� e has been a supporter

and advocate for positive outcomes and prog-ress in the greater Northshore area for many years. She is energetic and tireless. Even before she was a Washington State Senator or a mem-ber of the Northshore School Board she worked in this community in support of children, busi-ness, and the arts.

Her e� orts on behalf of children extended to all children and she especially was mindful of the needs of children with special needs. If you look back 35 to 40 years you will � nd her imprint on many good works in the schools that her family attended and some of her grandkids still attend.

She supported the development of the North-shore Performing Arts Center both with her enthusiasm and her � nancial contribution.

Rosemary was a driving force in the place-ment and growth of Cascadia Community Col-lege and the Bothell branch of the University of Washington in this community.

Rosemary is deserving of our support so she can continue to promote positive change in the 1st District and the state of Washington.Joanne Harkonen, Bothell

Moscoso takes care of youthI live in Yakima County, and I have known

Luis Moscoso for the past six years. I have watched him work tirelessly to change our communities to become safer places for our children. I run a youth group here and Luis was and is very supportive of what we try to do here for our youths in crisis.

Kenmore’s first brewery celebrates city’s historyBy MATT PHELPS

[email protected]

Kenmore was a hub for alcohol distribution and those looking to socialize with a good drink during Prohibition. And while the city has changed greatly during the past 80 years, many still thirst for a friendly place to get a good brew.

“We had some of the best known speakeasies in the area,” said owner Derek Wyckoff, who has a great respect for Kenmore’s history. “We had about 30 in a couple-block area. We are just picking up where history left off.”

According to the Ken-more Heritage Society, Wyckoff became a part of Kenmore’s history on May 22 when he opened the doors to the city’s first ever brewery - 192 Brewing Company and The Lake Trail Taproom.

But Wyckoff, a Kenmore resident, incorporates that history into 192, including naming one of his beers Kenmore Gold, having live jazz and blues music to harken back to Prohibi-tion and is going to use the well water from Kenmore’s Bastyr University in his new

Seminary Stout and other beers.

“Tribes in the area had a great tradition of smok-ing salmon and we want to be able to do that as well,” Wyckoff said. “Everything we do, we try to research the local traditions.”

The Brewery sits just on the south side of the Burke-Gilman Trail, across Bothell Way from the Schnitzel-bank Building at 7324 N.E. 175th Street. Many of his regulars come in off the trail while on a bike ride or out for a walk. He said that

his limited parking has not been a problem.

Wyckoff said that one night he had tongue-in-cheek discussion with regu-lars about what excuse they used to get to the bar.

“One guy said, ‘don’t tell my wife, I am out walking the dog,’” Wyckoff laughed.

Lucky for the patron, dogs are just as welcome as people at the watering hole. Wyckoff even sells dog treats.

“We have had no prob-lems with the dogs. The owners are really good

and we don’t even have to pick up after them,” said Wyckoff, who has worked previously in the restaurant and hotel industry for 25 years.

The homey atmosphere has become an attraction for some customers.

“Our ambiance is ‘neigh-bors’ backyard’ and I think we hit it,” said Wyckoff, who began brewing his own beer in 2006 in his backyard. The mayor of Kenmore agrees.

“It is unique in that it is very warm and welcoming,”

said Mayor David Baker, who admitted that beer is not his favorite beverage but tries to support local businesses. “In most places you have a table and four chairs. There, you are in with everyone. You just mingle and it is set up that way.”

Wyckoff said that Baker and the City Council have been some of his big-gest supporters. The first year 192 participated in the Washington Brewer’s Festival, at St. Edwards State Park, Wyckoff was surprised at who welcomed him to the event.

“The mayor shook my hand and greeted me at the gate,” said Wyckoff. “It was kind of nice to be one of the hometown heroes. He has been overwhelmingly supportive.”

Wyckoff now has six different brewing recipes: Kenmore Gold, Hoppin’ Madrid, Vanilla Stout, Sassy Granny Apple Ale, Semi-nary Stout and the newest, Strong Scotch Ale. Wyckoff said he wanted a Scotch Ale because Kenmore is named for a Scottish town.

Wyckoff, his two part-time employees and his girlfriend Rachel Jagger, who all run the business,

returned to the 2012 Brew-er’s Festival and won the Beer Toss competition, for which he proudly displays the trophy.

But even without sup-port, Wyckoff would have been just as determined to make his dream a reality.

“I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit I can’t control,” said Wyckoff. “I always knew what I wanted. I had this long vision and wanted to open on the trail.”

Wyckoff said he had to wait two years to get the location, which had just 450 square feet of space finished enough to use … but he opened anyway.

“I was talking to a guy in Renton about Derek and I said ‘think of a guy who spent $20 on paint, rolled it on and opened the doors,’” said friend and owner of Twelve Bar Brews in Wood-inville, Kirk Hilse.

And the mayor was there for the opening.

“We decided to just open and posted it on Facebook,” said Wyckoff. “The mayor was here within five min-utes. He wanted to be the first to buy a beer.”

Derek Wyckoff, owner of 192 Brewing Company and The Lake Trail Taproom in Kenmore, shows off the Beer Toss competition trophy his team won at the 2012 Washington State Brewer’s Festival. Wyckoff says his business, which sells a beer named Kenmore Gold, has a ‘neighbors’ backyard’ ambiance. MaTT PheLPS, Kirkland Reporter

Wall of Honor recognizes Northshore citizens’ achievements By ANdy Nystrom

[email protected]

As Dr. Donald Gran-vold glanced up and down the line of people who were being feted as Northshore Wall of Honor inductees, he thought, “Should I belong?”

“They’re awesome,” Granvold said, while nodding his head and noting that he did deserve to be placed in such high esteem as the other 11 honorees last month at a ceremony at Pop Keeney Stadium in Bothell.

Granvold, a 1961 Both-

ell High graduate, is well known as a researcher and provider of mental health services and a University of Texas professor.

“It’s extremely hum-bling. There are a lot of deserving people through all of these three schools, and I feel really, really honored about that,” he said of graduates from Bothell, Inglemoor and Woodinville high schools (this year, only Bothell grads made the list; Ing-lemoor and Woodinville grads have been honored the past two years).

Granvold noted that at-

tending school in Bothell gave him a stellar start in life and paved the road for his career. He praised his parents and his schools’ teachers and friends for supporting him during his Bothell years.

Another honoree, Dr. William Fassett, got his start in the pharmacy field by working at Ostroms in Kenmore under the tutelage of founder Dick Ramsey.

The 1964 Bothell High graduate went on to impart his knowledge on students as a pharmacy professor at Washington State University. Dur-ing his time with the Northshore Kiwanis Club, he co-founded the Inc. (Involved Northshore Communities) Spot, a

teen drop-in center for life advice.

“All of my mentors (including Ramsey) have

always been people who said you’ll get a lot more out of life by giving,” Fas-sett said.

While receiving his award, presenter and Northshore School District Superintendent Larry Francois noted with a smile that Fassett is an “esteemed graduate of Os-troms.” Fassett and those around him erupted with laughter.

The Wall of Honor rec-ognizes the outstanding achievements of North-shore alumni, staff and volunteers who have made a significant contribution to the district, communi-ty, state, nation or world.

This year’s remain-ing inductees (most of whom were present at the

ceremony, others were represented by family members) are:

• Dr. David Anderson, Bothell High, 1961 - Vet-erinarian, civic/communi-ty leader and international humanitarian

• Marilyn Eylar Con-away, Northshore School District, five years - Vi-sionary teacher, founded mock United Nations con-ference and mock political convention

• Dr. Darryl DesMar-teau, Bothell High, 1958 - Renowned fluorine chemistry researcher and chemistry professor at Clemson University

• Dr. Ronald E. Frost, Bothell High, 1965 - Den-tist, community leader, mentor and international humanitarian

• David Aaron Hughes, Bothell High, 1956 - U.S. Foreign Service, author and international humani-tarian

• Dr. Richard Lance, Bothell High, 1942 - Community doctor, team physician, health advocate and Northshore School District school board member

• Helen Anderson McMahon, Bothell High, 1936 - Community leader and activist, historian, artist and local pioneer

• Dr. Grant W. Sharpe, Bothell High, 1943 - University of Washington forestry professor, wildlife management and recre-ation activist

• Carroll “Si” Siverson, Northshore School Dis-trict, 30 years - Beloved teacher and administrator, advocate for performing arts

• Roy J. Wheat, Jr., Bothell High, 1946 - Pilot, aviation advocate for youth and selfless com-munity activist

Weekend Hours at Canyon ParkBy tim watanaBe

[email protected]

A Bothell family who lost a child to ob-structive pulmonary disease in late 2010 will honor his memory by walking as a team as part of Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington’s annual Walk for Wishes on Sunday, Sept. 23 at Marymoor Park in Redmond.

Team “Hope Strength and Joy” honors Cullen Rogers, who himself led teams for the annual event before his death in 2010. At that year’s walk, Cullen was named the top individual fundraiser, having raised more than $6,300 on his own. Cullen’s wish to meet his hero, Felix Hernandez, was granted in 2008.

The Mariners’ ace pitcher, who pitched the 23rd perfect game in Major League history on August 15, was “extraordinarily generous with his time” according to Shelley Rogers, Cullen’s mother, and made Cullen’s day incredibly special. The meeting inspired Cullen to help raise funds so other kids could have their own wishes granted.

Shelley is the one heading up the team. “Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington has done so much for Cullen and our family, we want to make sure other families have the same experience,” she said. “Cullen’s wish day made such an incredible difference in his journey he wanted to help other children that had life threatening medical conditions have the same opportunity. He knew that getting their wish granted would help them through their medical journey and be better for it. We in turn have carried on this tradition to honor him... as a wish family, we know the power of a wish.”

Marymoor Park is located at 6046 W. Lake Sammamish Pkwy. N.E., with check-in start-ing at 8:45 a.m. and the walk starting at 9 a.m.

The fourth annual Walk for Wishes is an all-ages, family-friendly community event, 5K walk and fun run. It will feature kids’ activities, refreshments and entertainment.

The community is invited to join the walk or contribute online at http://www.nwwishes.org/donate/walk12.asp.

This year, the local Make-A-Wish chapter will grant nearly 300 wishes. For more information about Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington please call (800) 304-9474, visit www.northwestwishes.org or connect with us at www.facebook.com/northwestwishes or on Twitter @MakeAWishAKWA.

Cullen Rogers is all smiles while chatting with Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez on his Wish Day in 2008. He passed away two years later from complications following a double-lung transplant, and his family will honor his memory by walking as a team on Sunday during the Walk for Wishes.

A good night’s sleep doesn’t have to be an elusive dreamBy priyA ooLut, MD

Pacific Medical Center

What does it mean to get a good night’s sleep? It means getting enough of it and waking up feeling refreshed. I think we can all agree that when we do not sleep well, our lives—most noticeably, our work, schooling, parent-ing, and driving—suffer. If we lose enough sleep, our health can seriously suffer, as well.

How much sleep we need and get depends on our age and time in our life. Most adults requires seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Teens need a little more. Parents of newborns (and of new drivers!), menopausal women experiencing night sweats, workers on-call, and people who are ill or taking medica-tion might wake several times per night. The lucky ones fall back to sleep easily.

Not everyone is lucky.According to the National

Sleep Foundation, one-fourth of the population regularly doesn’t get enough sleep. My experience supports this. In my clinic, every day I see pa-

tients with sleep issues. From chronic life-long insomnia to bizarre dream enactment, many of my patients are anxious about the night and falling asleep.

Sleep anxiety builds over time. Eventually, the issue is no longer the initial cause of sleep disturbance but rather the anxiety itself. Take for example a young mother I saw several months ago. She had a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old child. Her difficulty staying asleep began when the children were infants. She would wake up to feed them around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m., and then had difficulty falling back asleep. As her kids grew and they began to sleep through the night, she was unable to break the cycle of waking at that time.

When patients come to a see a sleep specialist they are often at their wits’ end. My job as a sleep physician is to iden-tify the underlying disorder or triggers, and to break down barriers to treating them. For instance, many people with insomnia (trouble falling asleep) begin thinking of

themselves as insomniacs and resist change. It can take weeks or months to fix the situation, but with the help of relaxation, biofeedback (control of one’s bodily function through monitoring of brain waves, blood pressure and muscle tension) and new sleep habits, it can be done. Note that sleep medications are rarely the first line of therapy as they tend to mask, rather than treat, the problem.

Sometimes, I need objective data about what is happening during sleep and will order a sleep study. In the sleep lab, the patient is observed through the use of various diagnostic equipment, which will aid in the development of an effective treatment plan. While this can seem like the worst situation for someone who has difficulty sleeping anyway, our goal is to pinpoint exactly what the disturbance is that is causing restless sleep. The most common problem is sleep apnea, a condition in which the airway closes many times at night. I have seen patients who stop breathing up to 120 times per hour!

Besides interfering with sleep, apnea can also lead to long-term health problems such as heart attacks, high blood pressure and strokes. I tell my patients that having sleep apnea is as dangerous as having high blood pressure or diabetes and must be treated.

Other problems include leg movements at night, seizu-reactivity or dream enact-ment. Some people sleep too much. With proper diagnosis and treatment, however, my patients have gone on to better manage their sleep distur-bances and disorders.

If you are experiencing sleep difficulties, take it se-riously—and know there’s hope.

Oscar LiLLO, OD

Pacific Medical Center

Almost everyone knows an older family member or friend who has had cataracts. But what are they? Can you avoid them? How do you detect a cataract?

What cataracts are, and how to avoid them A cataract is a clouding of the

lens in the eye that impairs vision. It can occur in one eye or both. A person with a cataract may notice that their vision has become blurred or duller. They may have trouble reading or identifying colors, in particular blues and

purples. Often, their vision at night will be compromised and become light sensitive to the extent that headlights or lamps may seem too bright or appear to have a halo or light streaks radiating from them.

The lens in the eye is critical

to seeing well. It focuses light that enters the eye onto the retina at the back of the eye, creating an image that is sent to the brain. It also focuses the eye so you can see things far away or close up. Just like a camera with a smudged lens, if the eye’s lens is cloudy, the image quality will be poor.

The lens is made of proteins and water. The proteins are precisely arranged to let light pass through. With a cataract, some of the proteins bunch together and cloud part of the lens. The cloudy area increases over time, making it more difficult to see.

Although most cataracts occur in older people, some children are born with small cataracts. Cataracts also can be caused by surgery, steroid use, exposure to radiation or an eye injury. Finally, some diseases such as diabetes can contribute to your chance of cataracts developing earlier.

Some simple tips to reduce the risk of cataracts are to avoid UV exposure by wearing sunglasses and wear a brimmed hat; to get good nutrition, in particular, green leafy vegetables, fruit, and other foods with antioxidants.

Bothell’s Jennings

Bothell resident Ray Jennings recently landed the catch of his life, a 36-pound, 3-ounce Chinook Salmon he reeled in while fishing on a charterboat out of Westport, located on the coast near Grays Harbor. Jennings’ catch netted him the Westport Catch of the Week honors and the Charterboat Association’s daily prize of $225. Courtesy photo

Vikings, Cougs fall short on the gridiron

Inglemoor grad strom named volleyball

rookIe of the weekKenmore resident and

Inglemoor High graduate Hannah Strom, a freshman

hitter for the Hartwick College volleyball team in Oneonta,

N.Y., was recently recognized by the Empire 8 Conference

as the Women’s Volleyball Rookie of the Week. Strom

picked up a double-double (14 kills, 15 digs) for the Hawks

in the team’s 3-1 victory over SUNYIT earlier this month at

the Oneonta State Invitational, and has 34 kills on the season

in four matches.

The Inglemoor Vikings football team (0-3) fell just short of their first win in 2012 with a 31-28 road loss to Tumwater on Friday night.

In the second quarter, quarter-back Hans Fortune hit wide receiver Mike Lewis for a 10-yard touchdown to give the Vikings a 14-10 lead going into halftime, and after Tumwater scored to take 17-14 lead, Viking running back Nick Russell broke away for a 29-yard score to give the Vikings a momentary lead.

In the fourth quarter, For-tune ran in a 1-yard touch-down himself, but Inglemoor was done in by a Tumwater punt return that went nearly the entire length of the field with five minutes to go in the fourth quarter.

The Vikings get their league schedule underway

this Friday against Woodin-ville at Pop Keeney, kickoff at 7 p.m.

The Bothell Cougars also started the season 0-3 after

a 27-11 loss to Capital in Olympia last Friday. The Cougars look to turn the tide against Eastlake (1-2) on

Saturday at Pop Keeney, kickoff at 7 p.m.

vIkIng soccer falls to ballard

Playing in a 4A Kingco soccer matchup Tuesday night on the road, the Lady Vikings fell to Ballard 2-1. The Beavers took a 2-0 lead into the half on goals by Ka-tie Gould and Emily Dunn, and just two minutes into the second half Lara Jacob-sen scored unassisted for the Viks to pull her team within one goal, but they were not able to score the equalizer.

The loss dropped Ing-

lemoor, which won all four of its nonleague games to start the season, to 0-1-1 in league play and 4-1-1 overall.

On Monday night, Bothell fell to Roosevelt 3-1 in a 4A Kingco volleyball match.

The Cougars won the first game 25-20, lost a tight second game 28-26 and the match momentum, and dropped games three and four 25-14 and 25-16.

Megan Rourke led the offense with nine kills for the Cougars, who dropped to 1-1 in league play and 2-3 overall.

Also on Monday night, Inglemoor beat visiting Bal-lard 3-1 in its league opener 25-18, 25-20, 16-25, 25-21. With the win, the Vikings improved to 3-2 overall.

Q & A with Coach Bainter, Bothell CougarsBy tim watanaBe

[email protected]

Q: As frustrating as it is to start a season 0-3, you have seen two of

the state’s top teams in Skyline and Bellevue and another tough

opponent in Capital. What has playing these top-tier opponents

taught your team?

a: We played three outstanding football teams with combined

record of 9-0. The teams we played were very disciplined

and made very few mistakes. We have too many pre-snap

penalties and are working hard to correct

those errors. The character of our team

is being tested and I’m anxious to find out how

we react.

Q: As the Kingco league season gets underway

and the games start to count, what will be your key points of

focus to earn wins?

a: The good news is we are 0-0 in league play and that all

of our pre-season goals are intact. The

keys to success in the Kingco schedule is to

focus on our individual assignments and

responsibilities, trust our teammates to do

their jobs, and play with a renewed energy

– with passion for the game and one another.

Q: On Saturday you play Eastlake, a very young team that

has been through a lot already with the resignation of longtime

coach Gene Dales. What’s the scouting report on the Wolves

and what’s the mindset heading into your Kingco league opener

this weekend?

a: Eastlake is a very athletic group with great team speed.

Assignment football with zero mental mistakes will be

important if we are going to be successful. We must find a way to score touchdowns in the red

zone. This should be a great game and the first time we’ve

played Eastlake since 2007.

The grand opening celebration of the new Bastyr University California campus in San Diego occurred last Friday, Sept. 14, and marked a historic day as the Golden State’s first regionally and pro-fessionally accredited school for naturopathic medicine opened to students.

Nearly 50 naturopathic doctoral (ND) students will make up the inaugural class, which surpassed the Univer-sity’s projections.

Bothell man sentenced for real estate fraud

Two men, one from Bothell and one from Kirkland, were sentenced to federal prison Thursday in connection with a mortgage fraud scheme that defrauded banks of more than $4 million.

Bothell resident Robert Strong, 48, was sentenced to four years in prison, while Kirkland resident Anthony Waldron, 49, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison in U.S. District Court in Seattle.

Between 2005 and 2008, the men used fraudulent informa-tion to obtain more than $13 million in loans on 30 differ-ent properties, primarily in South King County. When the scheme ended, with the fall of the real-estate market and the homes going into foreclosure, the lenders had lost more than $2.5 million. The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation unit.

At sentencing U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Zilly told the men that they knew what they were doing was “false and fraudulent … (they were) defrauding the banks” and their “motivation was money and profit.”

The amount of restitution the men owe is still being calculated and will be consid-ered by Judge Zilly at a future hearing.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
