answering for the murder of former Kirkland resident Scarlett Paxton. About 15 people sat in silence during the hearing in King County Superior Court in downtown Seattle. The 22-year-old now faces the standard sentencing range of 120-220 months in prison, plus 24 months for deadly weapons enhancement. The King County prosecutor is recommending the maximum range for the

charges of 244 months. But not everyone is happy with the plea deal. “I don’t like the fact that someone can commit a crime like this and have the opportunity to bargain,” said Scarlett Paxton’s father, Ernest Paxton, prior to the hearing. “This person will get 20 years, a 20-year sentence.

ouched by the devastation and travesty of the recent Oso mudslide, Kirkland residents and businesses are searching for ways they can help amidst the chaos. More than 20 people confirmed dead and 20 additional missing people were struck by a mile-wide mudslide on March 22. The search for the missing continues weeks after the landslide hit a small northwestern city called Oso, just west of Darrington, Wash. Jim Schoeggle, a longtime city and Kirkland Fire Department volunteer, has been back and forth from the site with his search dog group for nearly a week. “On Saturday, they turned us around because the slope was still unstable,” Schoeggle said. “We didn’t get up there until [last] Tuesday.” Schoeggle only replied “partially” when asked if he or his team helped to recover any of the victims, adding that he can’t talk about operational details at this time. “Lots of wrecked houses, piles of debris and trees,”

he said about the mudslide site. “The locals from the community, from Oso, people directly affected and the nearby community, those people are out there with shovels helping to dig up their friends and neighbors. I haven’t seen that before on any of the incidents that I’ve been involved with before.” As Schoeggle drove back to Kirkland from the mudslide site on Tuesday, he said he saw people gathered at the Burlington Les Schwab with signs for Oso, noting that the outpour of support has been reassuring. Kirkland resident Robert Marshall visited the Oso site last weekend, when two victims were recovered. “All work is stopped while they are transported to the landing zone for the helicopter and work is not resumed until it is flown away,” Marshall said, adding that he and others found some mementos. “The site is extremely overwhelming. The pictures you see are not even close to what it actually is. It is massive.” Marshall also set up www.gofundme.com/ososlidevictims to help the Harris family find their [ more SLIDE page 5 ]

‘Simple decision’ saves Kirkland couple from slide BY JULIE MUHLSTEIN Herald writer

The mudslide that occurred on March 22 in the small town of Oso, Wash. has killed dozens and left many missing. It has impacted residents throughout the Puget Sound area. But Kirkland residents Davis and Ruth Hargrave might be two of the luckiest ones. The Hargraves believe their vacation home is gone, but the couple’s lives may have been spared by hap-

penstance. They bought their cabin on Steelhead Drive about 15 years ago. Davis Hargrave, a 73-year-old retired architect, put countless hours of labor into renovating the place that was once an “old beater.” He built it into the couple’s dream getaway spot. “It is just a cabin but it is just a little jewel box,” said Ruth Hargrave, 67. The Kirkland couple had planned to be at the cabin on the weekend of the slide but plans changed when a friend

from Australia paid them a visit on her way back from skiing at Whistler. “It was just a simple decision,” Davis Hargrave said, and that decision to stay in Kirkland probably saved their lives. The Hargraves were at the roadblock on Highway 530 on Monday hoping to learn about their neighbors. Up Highway 530, at the intersection with Oso Loop Road, Washington State Patrol troopers blocked traffic. A number of people who had

been allowed to stay in their homes near the slide had left for supplies. They had to wait about four hours that afternoon before being allowed back in. Davis Hargrave said he only learned that one friend from Steelhead Drive was alive when he read in the newspaper that the man was at an evacuation center in Arlington. “That was really good news. They left 10 minutes before the slide,” Davis Hargrave said.

Kirkland Summer Concert Series short $15,000 in fundraising

fter nearly 40 years of providing the Kirkland community with free summer concerts, Kirkland Summer Concert Series organizers are $15,000 short in their fundraising goal for 2014. With the original April 2 deadline passed, organizers need the funds by May 1, which are nearly half of their total goal. The May deadline is so they can ensure every sponsor’s logos are on marketing materials for the concerts that start in July. “While we are relatively confident that the ‘show will go on,’ we are falling short in part because a few of our major sponsors from last year have not been able to come forward this year,” said organizer Julie Metteer in a news release. “Therefore we are looking to the Kirkland

Metteer said sponsorship levels start at $500, and increase by $500-level increments. The title sponsorship level is still available for $5,000 – which would give that sponsor naming rights (“Brought to you by”) for all 14 events through seven weeks during the summer, as well as opportunities to have a presence at any or all of the concerts, Metteer said in a news release. “If a sponsor at any level has a compelling table or booth, their potential exposure to this captive audience can provide a great value for their investment.” Metteer said, noting individual donations are also gladly accepted.

Last week’s poll results: “Do you think the Kirkland Park Board made the right recommendation when selecting the site for a new aquatic center?”

GUEST COLUMN

Numbers don’t add up for LWSD This guest column is written in response to last week’s guest column by Jill Stoddart.

irst of all I am not anti-school just anti-waste and mismanagement. I am all for financially sound investments in facilities and personnel that is prudent. If you really believe “it’s for the children,” then why bury them in debt unnecessarily? The Lake Washington School District is spending two to three times the cost for similar buildings compared to the Monroe School District. Stay on point, be adult enough to not attack someone asking for clarification of the facts. And, seriously, just where did you get the one-room schoolhouse with a wood stove? This is the best you have to offer? The $404 million bond must be paid with tax dollars, the number of 25 cents per $1,000 assessed value is incorrect. For example, assume 5 percent interest on a $404 million bond over 20 years. The interest payments will be $20 million the first year and $10 million the following 19 years. This comes to $210 million to service a $404 million bond. This interest rate cannot be serviced at anything less than $8 million a year over 20 years, that would be $210 million. That does not include the loan, just the debt service. AAA bonds are 3.75 percent but the Lake Washington School District gets 5 percent. You cannot get there at 25 cents per $1,000 assessed value. The math does not work. Steven Swedenburg

Also note that the Juanita High School rebuild loses our pool. The pool that is supposed to cost $40 million to replace. The Newcastle YMCA, completed three years ago, built two 25-meter pools with a total of six lap lanes for under $16 million. And oh, by the way, it includes 32,000 square feet of gyms, locker rooms, showers, work out facilities and meeting rooms - all equal to the size of an average elementary school. The fact that the $755 million bond went down to defeat twice is very telling, the school district board simply cut $335 million from the original bond with every intention to bring the $335 million back in two to four years, there was no attempt at savings, budget planning or bond modifications for efficiency. The projected expenditure of $135 million for

243,000 square feet places the cost at $547 per square foot. Premier office space in Bellevue is commonly under $50 per square foot. This does not include the cost of the STEM building at $35 million or the Juanita Pool replacement. Just what is going on here? Kirkland City Council and Redmond City Council members are on record questioning the expenditures and the numbers. Just the facts.

I am responding to your paper’s recent article about the proposed new Kirkland aquatic center. I fully support the building of an aquatic center at the site on Northeast 124 Street. This location provides easy freeway access for those coming into Kirkland to use the facility. It offers services such as hotels and food nearby, as well. This is the best choice. But I will add that the vision should be larger. I would be willing to vote for a bond that includes the aquatic center as part of a larger vision. A larger vision that includes a convention center and a relocated city hall. I believe that the city of Kirkland facilities need to expand north into Totem Lake and Juanita. I feel that an aquatic center at the North Kirkland Community Center site is a first step towards developing Kirkland. The other two projects would include moving city hall to a freeway accessible site in Totem Lake, as well as a small convention center. This would, in my mind, be located on the east side of I-405 on the same Northeast 124 Street corridor. The connection via the Cross Kirkland Corridor to downtown and Houghton, as well as trails and its proximity to two transit centers, just makes a lot of sense to me. Yes, this is a big dream but I’m saying I would support it and be willing to pay for it. Totem Lake needs to be the seat of governance for the city. The courts and public safety center are going to be in the same area, why not city hall, a convention center and an aquatic center? It would be a link through

As far as I know, he is still one of the missing/unaccounted for from the slide.” According to the Seattle Times, Harris was home alone that Saturday morning the landslide struck. Marshall said Harris and his niece attended Darrington Middle School together. Her mom, Tina Clark, who is Marshall’s roommate and went to school with Harris’s mother, has been actively visiting Darrington to help in any way she can, Marshall continued. Clark, who is also a Kirkland resident, grew up in Darrington and was on the Darrington Fire Department. She was not available for immediate comment. Marshall hopes to get $10,000 donated to the Harris family and has received $940 so far. “Most of the donations I have received on the page are from family and friends of mine,” Marshall said, who works at Clarks Wheel

and her body was discovered on the steps leading to her apartment in the Juanita neighborhood. At the time of the murder, Wolf was AWOL, as an active duty member of the U.S. Army and stationed out of Joint Base Lewis/McChord. He has since been dishonorably discharged from the military. “It’s important for people to understand this was random and this person will be out on the streets again when he’s 38,” said Ernest Paxton. Ernest Paxton said that Wolf will be younger than he currently is when released from prison. Scarlett Paxton and Wolf were both 19 at the time of the murder. “If you have a two-yearold daughter, your daughter will be the same age as Scarlett was when she was murdered [when Wolf is released],” said Paxton. “I chose not to attend the hearing. I’ve been informed of what’s going to take place. I will be present at the sentencing.” The judge in the case will also have the discretion to

give him up to life in prison when he is sentenced on April 25. Ernest Paxton was overcome with emotion as he pleaded for the Kirkland community to keep Scarlett in their collective hearts. “It’s important when you have this type of nightmare occurring in your life that you do work to heal and do work to somehow accept it rather than pine over what should be or what could have been,” said Ernest Paxton. “I can only say for myself that every day is a struggle and I am glad Scarlett was in my life for as long as she was.” Friends of Paxton told the Reporter in 2011 that the two knew each other but Kirkland police could never find a defined link, according to Kirkland Police Lt. Mike Murray in a statement. Scarlett Paxton went for a walk with her boyfriend around 1:30 a.m. on the night of her murder near their Hidden Firs Apartment complex in the 12800 block of 132nd Ave. NE. Charging documents say she left shortly after she became upset about her

perceived intentions behind her boyfriend asking her to accompany him on a walk. She told him she was going back to the couple’s apartment to call a friend. When her boyfriend returned home, he called 911 at 2:50 a.m. after he found his girlfriend slumped over in front of their second-floor apartment unit, according to court documents. Paxton died soon after and her death was ruled a homicide by a sharp-force injury to her neck. Further examination of her injuries revealed lacerations to her chin, neck, thumb, hand and a cut above her knee, all consistent with defensive knife wounds, according to police records. During the investigation, detectives noted blood near the ground-level units with possible blood spatter on two unit doors, according to charging documents. They also recovered a dark pea coat and a butcher knife from the scene. Authorities also found blood on a dumpster, exterior walls and on the ground behind the Juanita Albertsons, which has since closed. In addition, investigators recovered a small table knife, Scarlett Paxton’s winter hat, and various pieces of garbage with blood. DNA profiles obtained from samples taken behind Albertsons and a trail of blood from the alley behind the store to the initial crime scene matched her DNA, according to police documents. A partial palm and fingerprint were noted along the north-side wall of the building where Juanita Albertsons and Rite Aid are located. The Crime Laboratory identified both prints as belonging to Wolf.

Stimulants a growing concern for teens ski trip coming up. It’s no surprise that such a teen resorts to stimulants just to keep her head above water. Staying up late by taking “study drugs” often begins with highly advertised – and ridiculously caffeinated – energy drinks like Red Bull or

5-Hour-Energy. When these readily available stimulants no longer make the grade, some youth step up to prescription drugs. At YES we repeatedly hear that our clients buy Adderall or Ritalin from their friends who have legitimate prescriptions.

t has been hard to miss all the attention being given to the legalization of marijuana for adults – even in Super Bowl coverage. Many adults are understandably concerned about the increased availability of pot and its effect on our kids. However, less is being said about a very real and alarming youth drug trend: the increased use of amphetamines. Commonly known as meth, speed, Ecstasy or coke, amphetamines stimulate the central nervous system. For years, TV and movies have portrayed how young adults use these drugs to pull all-nighters before exams or to party all night long. But did you know that growing numbers of children and teens are abusing legal amphetamines such as Adderall and Ritalin, used widely to treat attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? Clients at YES say they are taking these drugs not necessarily to get high, but often simply to get through their day. And what a day it is! Consider a student who gets up at 5 in the morning to go to early sports practice, followed by a demanding day at school and a swim meet at a neighboring school. She crams in some studying in the car after her dad picks her up. She eats a late supper and then heads to her room to finish her term paper and study for a physics exam – all the while texting with several friends. It’s after midnight before she collapses into a restless sleep, because she’s thinking about her part-time job, youth symphony, church youth group and the family

...obituaries Jack C. Vinje

Jack passed away in Bellevue on March 28 after a fall. He is remembered as an inspiring teacher who taught in Kirkland for 30 years. Jack was born in 1930 and grew up in the Norwegian community of Ballard. He joined the Army at age 17 and rose quickly through the ranks. The service fueled Jack’s love of learning and then paid for his college education. In retirement, Jack and his wife, Pat, traveled in Europe. After Pat’s death, Jack traveled and continued his avid reading of biographies, history and novels. He will be missed and is survived by son, Thomas, granddaughter, Elizabeth, and step-daughter, Dawn. The memorial service will be 11am on Friday, April 4, at The Gardens at Towne Center, 933 111th Ave NE, Bellevue. Free parking is available across the street in Elements garage, 958 111th Ave NE.

Department Lt. Mike Murray said, originates from the Seattle Archdiocese tax scam that has affected hundreds, if not thousands of people, across western Washington. “We started getting reports probably in the beginning of March, into February,” Murray said. “It’s occurring all over the region.” Murray stated someone hacked into the archdiocese’s website and obtained the information, such as social security card numbers, birth dates and names, from “quite a few people who

donate.” The local connection is through Holy Family Parish in Kirkland, he said. But Seattle Archdiocese spokesman Greg Magnoni said it’s still too early to know where the source of the fraud is. “We don’t know if it was information collected from the dioceses or another third party,” he said. “It’s very difficult to determine what the source might be.” Magnoni said this is the first time anything like this has happened to the archdiocese, which spans 28,000 square miles throughout western Washington. “We’re cooperating with the FBI and conducting our own private investigation to determine the source of this problem,” he said, adding that there’s been several regional meetings to answer questions. Magnoni said the archdiocese learned of it in early March and, at first, thought it was a local problem. Employees had checked

their own IRS accounts and learned their social security numbers had been compromised. But after contacting all leadership throughout the diocese, they discovered the tax scams had affected people across all of western Washington. Magnoni said he’s unaware of how many people the tax scam has impacted but that the 108 fraud reports in Kirkland, as of March 27, only represent a tiny portion of the problem. In a March 17 letter, Archbishop of Seattle J. Peter Sartain expressed his care and concern for the national tax identity fraud scam, which has affected “a number of current and former employees and volunteers of the Archdiocese of Seattle.” “We hear about this kind of scam, and we hope that it would never touch us personally,” he wrote. “… at present, we simply do not know how the problem originated, whether from systems within the archdiocese - including parishes

and schools - or systems of vendors, or another outside source.” Magnoni said for those who think their identity may have been compromised on tax returns, check the archdiocese’s website at www. seattlearchdiocese.org/Archdiocese/Action.aspx. The website lists several regional IRS meetings throughout the end of March and early April. Those whose tax identity has actually been compromised are advised to take the following steps: Contact an IRS Special Agent at 206-464-4920; file a report with local law enforcement; and send an email to taxinformation@ seattlearch.org, confirming that the tax identity has been compromised. Include a full name, parish or school and whether the person is an employee or volunteer. At this time, the archdiocese is advising all employees and volunteers to contact the Internal Revenue Service Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490 ext. 245.

PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only

28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol™ is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-581-1502. Now at select

Kirkland woman charged with abusing then 2-year-old foster child By Raechel Dawson rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

1016446

A Kirkland woman was recently charged with second-degree assault of a child after she was arrested for allegedly abusing a then2-year-old foster boy in the spring and summer of 2013. Tonja J Maciolek, 47, is being held at King County jail on $75,000 bail. After a lengthy investigation, Kirkland police arrested Maciolek in January for fracturing the 3-year-old boy’s elbows and severely injuring his head. She was charged with two counts of the crime at King County Superior Court on March 18. On May 10, 2013, Maciolek took the boy to the emergency room of EvergreenHealth Medical Center for an elbow injury he had been complaining of for two days. Doctors determined the boy, whose initials are A.O., had a supracondylar fracture to his left elbow. Upon follow-up at ProOrtho Surgeons in Kirkland, one

of the doctor’s asked A.O. how it happened, to which he replied, “Mommy did it,” according to charging documents. Three months later on Aug. 14, Maciolek again brought the boy into the emergency room at EvergreenHealth Medical Center. According to the charging documents, she told doctors her foster son complained of head pain and had vomited at dinner that evening. “Tonja Maciolek was concerned that he had fallen and suffered a head injury, which she claimed not to have witnessed,” charging documents state. Doctors later determined he suffered a subdural hematoma, which was caused by a head injury that resulted in intracranial bleeding. The boy was rushed to Seattle Children’s Hospital by ambulance, during which doctors observed bruising all over his body. When he arrived, medical staff called the police. A social worker and two T:4.833” Kirkland police detectives interviewed Maciolek at the

hospital. Charging documents state they observed her to be “detached from A.O. and declined an offer to see him before he was transported from the ER to the medical floor (ICU).” During the interview, Maciolek allegedly referred to the boy as a brat and she repeatedly said he was clumsy and “always falling and causing head injuries to himself.” “She offered no explanation whatsoever for the bruises that covered A.O.’s body,” the documents continue, noting that her husband was out of town at the time on a business trip. Police contacted A.O.’s daycare and learned that the boy had not had bruises all over his body at daycare nor had he had any accidents the day he was taken to the hospital. The operator indicated she knew this because he had worn shorts and a t-shirt that day, according to the charging documents.
