Decisions made for two Kenmore hit-and-run suspects, one stalled BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@bothell-reporter.com

Three Kenmore residents have been struck and killed by motor vehicles during the past year. All three suspects in the various accidents are

in very different situations within the legal system. There was no trial for the 29-year-old truck driver who hit Kenmore resident Caleb Shoop, 19, as the prosecutor’s office determined there

wasn’t sufficient evidence to file any criminal charges. A King County Sheriff ’s detective has issued an infraction, which is a civil violation, according to Sergeant DB Gates, media relations officer

for the county. The Shoop family was not pleased with the decision. “While we recognize that there is nothing that can be done to bring our son back to life, a ticket does not seem

Bothell woman faces federal prison for illegal marijuana ring

pregnant Bothell woman faces the prospect of giving birth in jail after plead-

ing guilty to running a marijuana ring with her husband four months before it was legalized. Thi Nguyen Tram Bui and her husband Keith Ly were charged by the

U.S. Attorney’s Office with growing marijuana in gardens planted inside three suburban homes in Seattle from 2011 to February 2012. The ring was allegedly discovered after Bui was

pulled over by law enforcement and police found more than one pound of marijuana in the driver’s seat of her Mercedes and $8,900 cash. Bui and Ly attempted to

convince investigators it was a delivery of medical marijuana, according to charging papers. A suburban King County drug task force began watching Bui and Ly

glass door. Birmingham was able to wriggle out of his backpack and run away when police detained him. State representatives say they are concerned for public safety because Birmingham tried to break into two separate occupied homes. "While residential burglary is not a violent crime, per say, any burglary can escalate into violence if the victim is present or if the burglary is interrupted or is armed with weapons," wrote Daniel Satterberg, prosecuting attorney. "In this case, the defendant had knives and a stun gun in the backpack he was carrying." Birmingham has just been kicked out of his father's home nearby and admitted to police his plan was to break into houses to steal. The state is concerned Birmingham may resort to violence as he is "homeless and desperate to feed his drug addiction," according to charging documents. Birmingham is suspected of residing near the houses he targeted.

According to charging documents, Michael Birmingham told police he wanted to steal electronics to support his drug habit. Investigators found the stolen garage door opener along with knives, gloves, and a stun gun in his backpack. The state requested a bail be set at $20,000 based on the likelihood the defendant will fail to appear in response to a summons and is likely to commit a violent offense, according to charging documents. At the first appearance hearing, the court released Birmingham on personal recognizance - despite the state-requested bail.

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com a Renton home where it was planted, according to charging papers. Officers seized 700 plants from the Quincy Avenue Northwest home. Grows were allegedly found at a Shoreline and Marysville home owned by Ly. Around 1,189 plants and 29 pounds of marijuana were discovered and seized. Federal prosecutors are seeking a four-year prison sentence for Bui for conspiracy to manufacture and distribute marijuana. If Bui serves this sentence, she will be behind bars when her child is born in January. Ly is slated to face a jury later this year. Bui’s defense attorney, David Gehrke, asked the judge to delay imposition of Bui’s sentence until two months after her child is born, for the health of both his client and her child. “Her punishment is already steamrolling toward a horrendous sentence,” Gherke said in court papers. “What worse can visit upon a mother than to be separated from one’s child at birth and then be deported from the coun-

try she now calls home?” Gehrke also pointed out that the country is moving toward marijuana legalization and that legalization of the drug in Washington and Oregon has not prompted spikes in high-driving arrests and the general national trend toward fewer violent crimes continues. Washington’s decriminalization scheme allows only licensed growers to produce marijuana for sale. While restrictions on the size and shape of those gardens vary by locale, none can be licensed in homes located in neighborhoods or near schools. In writing the court, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Vogel alleged that Bui led the operation, ran it day to day and hired workers to tend to the marijuana. The prosecutor claimed that by doing so, Bui threatened the safety of those living near the homes where the marijuana grows were located. “Marijuana grows, like drug stash houses, are a matter of public safety,” Vogel wrote. “They attract additional criminal

conduct and invite violent behavior. Through their conduct, driven purely by personal greed, Ms. Bui and her associates placed innocent people at risk.” Gehrke said no violence was reported in connection with the ring Bui was involved in and that

his client used the money she made to help her pay her bills after a life of struggle. “She has shown that she is a survivor,” Gherke said. Bui was born in Vietnam and came to the United States after marry-

ing an American citizen, but Bui got divorced before gaining her citizenship. Gherke claimed she has struggled to make a living since then, working in casinos, modeling, participating in beauty pageants and, currently, selling marijuana.

Teens experience abuse too

ne in three teens has experienced some kind of abuse in their dating relationship, according to the American Journal of Public Health. One in three. This includes physical and emotional abuse, stalking, and sexual coercion. Abuse may look different in teen versus adult relationships, but we need to take it just as seriously. The Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Review has been studying domestic violence–related homicides in our state since 1997. The research shows how early many abusive relationships start. Nine percent of domestic violence homicide victims were under 21 at the time they were killed, and 31% of homicide victims in studied cases were under 21 when they started dating the abuser. Several met in high school or middle school.

[ pot from page 1]

Researchers found that education about dating violence in schools was not sufficient and often started too late. In their first experiences with dating, these young people did not get critical information about what a healthy relationship is or practical tips on what to do if someone was abusing them. Their parents also did not have the information they needed. Many tried to help, but did not know about resources—like their local domestic violence program—that could help them in their efforts. We can do better. Teens need information, safe options, and support. Dating violence is a complex issue with no one, simple answer, but it is simple for each of us to play a role in teaching teens about healthy relationships. For teen dating violence support, find the domestic violence program in your community at wscadv.org, contact the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline at 1-866-331-9474, or text “loveis” to 22522.

“Do you think people should be able to place a chair along the Fourth of July parade route days before the parade?”

Vote online: www.kirklandreporter.com

Last issue’s poll results: “Do you feel that high school graduates are ready for the real world?”

or many, the Fourth of July is about barbecues, family, parades and, of course, fireworks. But we should never forget that the Fourth of July is also a day to celebrate our country’s independence and freedoms. That freedom is sometimes complicated. Giving one person the freedom to do something may infringe on another person’s freedom. Fireworks are always a big point of contention. Many people love to purchase fireworks and light them off as a part of the holiday, while others fear for property and safety with personal fireworks in their neighborhood. Fireworks in any setting can be fun and dangerous at the same time. When I was growing up, it was a tradition for my family to create our own fun with a personal fireworks display. My dad would put on the show when I was young and as I grew up, I started to do my own. It is a big part of my childhood, as it is for many people. The idea of lighting your own fireworks is connected to good feelings of togetherness with family, the exhilaration of blowing something up and the beauty of bright colorful bursts lighting up against a dark sky. Outlawing fireworks takes away that freedom to maintain a tradition and something that brings happiness. Many cities have banned fireworks, such as Kenmore, Kirkland, Bellevue and Redmond, while others have just gradually put on restrictions, like Bothell. Legal fireworks infringe on freedoms as well. Everyone should have the freedom to attend Fourth of July activities without worrying that their home will burn down. Some pets, dogs specifically, can freak out and make the night impossible for some

people to enjoy. Those with babies have to endure the same issues with fireworks being lit off late into the night. And forget about a good night’s sleep if you need to have a window open to be comfortable on a hot July night. For those who live in a city that bans fireworks, it can be difficult to find a place to light off their own personal fireworks. Just going to a city that allows them is not good enough. It is illegal to light off fire works on property that is not yours. But a lot of these issues can be solved. This is not an issue that needs to go through a court or even be solved with a call to the police. If neighbors think ahead and act civilly towards each other and obey laws, many of these issues can be solved. But our elected officials need to be a little more open minded than to just say legal or illegal when it Matt Phelps

comes to fireworks. I think city and county council members should look into hosting local fireworks sites. Having a few fireworks sites at large park and ride lots or stadium parking lots could bridge this gap in freedoms for both sides. Allow fireworks stands near but not on the premises. Station some police officers, an EMT and a fire engine at the lot. Water down any foliage or buildings within a square block of the site and allow people to light off their own legal fireworks in a safe place away from homes and businesses. This would not eliminate those who willfully break the law but it would allow them a safe and legal option to enjoy a tradition. I will freely admit that this idea has some flaws. But instead of telling people no and putting no thought behind it, maybe our elected officials should try to think outside the box and find better solutions.

Finally, those five councilmembers have maxed out our debt limit and committed us to 33 years of ‘rent-to-own’ our own city hall – all without a vote of the people. Several of us explored the possibility of mounting a referendum campaign to give you a chance to have a real say on this expenditure of public money. Alas, our attorney concluded that we were prohibited from doing so because of the nature of the ordinance. Those who voted for this made a grand show of how many meetings had been held on this topic. The problem is, they didn’t listen to the public and chose to pursue a route that prevented us, the ones who will have to pay and pay and pay for this, from having the last word.

Change rules on Fourth of July chair placement I’d like to challenge our city leaders and law enforcement to stop allowing people to place chairs along the Independence Day parade route as much as a week in advance. I live within walking distance of downtown Bothell and despite arriving early last year to secure a place to sit or stand, there were no places to be found, but there were plenty of empty chairs. We ended up sitting by some empty chairs of which the owners never showed up to occupy for the entire parade. [ more LETTER page 5 ]

Council saves city money with new garbage contract As a local small business owner for over a decade, it’s important to me how our city manages its garbage contractors because we citizens and business owners ultimately pay the tab for those decisions. Bill Moritz’s letter in defense of Tris Samberg’s vote on the garbage contract raises a troubling question. Moritz was a large contributor to and aggressive promoter of

night to shut off additional negotiation and the opportunity for Bothell to get a better price from CleanScapes. This, despite the fact CleanScapes CEO testified their bid was 10 percent higher than what it costs them to provide the same service in Shoreline. At the following meeting, Lamb moved that the city should return to CleanScapes and ask them to provide the additional savings they testified were

possible. Samberg and Councilmember Andy Rheaume voted against even asking CleanScapes to further reduce their price. At the June 3 meeting, Lamb’s motion saved Bothell citizens $386,000 when CleanScapes agreed to provide the additional requested savings. Why did Samberg oppose saving Bothell $386,000? All we know for sure is her donor, Moritz, was one of the most active

voices arguing against the city to further negotiate the garbage contract. Bothell citizens should indeed be troubled by Samberg’s garbage contract process and can thank Freed, Deputy Mayor Del Spivey and Councilmembers Bill Evans and Lamb for saving Bothell an additional $386,000 in the CleanScapes garbage contract.

I also took a picture of some unoccupied chairs ten minutes before the parade much to the chagrin of a woman sitting nearby. She said the owners of the chairs are busy people, hence their late arrival. Seriously, we are all busy people. I am the single mom of three and I work full time, but if I want to take my kids to a parade or popular activity, my general strategy is to be prepared and arrive early. I’ve attended parades in other towns and this strategy has always worked well, but not with to the parade that takes place within walking distance of my house. Imagine an out-oftown visitor that decides to check out the Bothell parade only to find out that they can’t watch it from the front or second row unless they dropped off their chairs three to five days before the event? How do you think they feel about Bothell when some chairs remain unoccupied for the entire event? I think allowing this chair placement is highly exclusionary to both Bothell residents and out-of-town visitors. Many of my Facebook friends that live in Bothell

at Lousiville Slugger Stadium. The WWAST is a charitable organization whose mission is to raise awareness, educate the public on the strength and resiliency of America’s wounded warriors. The team was created in March, 2011 and is comprised of veteran and active-duty military who lost limbs while serving in the military. Children with missing limbs can apply to be considered for the kids camp, hosted every summer in Kentucky. Powell was one of 20 children selected to be a part of the camp this year. “It was awesome and so much fun,” Powell said. “I really liked hanging out with everyone there and just learning how to hit and throw

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com better.” The camp consisted of daily clinics during which WWAST players and coaches taught the kids all aspects of softball, from hitting, running and catching, to team-play and sportsmanship. While the clinics will cover the basics, these are no ordinary lessons. “Since we started touring in 2011, we’ve been inviting young, local amputees to serve as batboys and batgirls at our games across the country,” WWAST coach David Van Sleet said. “You wouldn’t believe the positive impact a single game can make on them. To have a full five days to work with and inspire these kids – kids who are at such an impressionable age – is one of the most amazing

opportunities we could have asked for.” Van Sleet says the team has a unique style of play, a creative adaptation the wounded veterans had to make in order to continue playing softball. Campers learned from seasoned WWAST players like Greg Reynolds, a left-arm amputee who learned how to catch one-handed a pop-fly, toss off his glove and throw the ball home in one fluid motion, or from Josh Wege, a double-amputee, who can chase down a grounder on two prosthetic legs. “Suffering a life-altering injury is traumatic and scary, there’s no doubt about that,” Van Sleet said. “But it’s our mission to show people that life-altering doesn’t have to

It’s still possible to follow your passions after an injury. You just have to take a different approach. And that’s what our guys are here to teach these kids.” In addition to softball instruction, Powell and his dad Brad Powell visited the

Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory and Churchill Downs, the home of the Kentucky Derby, as well as other Louisville attractions like the Muhammad Ali Center and Kentucky Kingdom. “It was so cool for me, as a parent, to talk to other

parents from around the country who had a child that was going through the same struggles as Logan,” Brad said. “It felt very familyoriented; everyone was in the same boat and very supportive of one another.” Logan said there were many activities planned out for him every day, including practices and going to a water park. “Logan and the other kids there were treated like royalty,” Brad said. “It was great to see.” Logan hopes to continue his athletics into high school and become a professional baseball player someday. “It’s my favorite sport and I want to keep doing it as long as possible,” Logan said, smiling.

national holidays. Kiddie Academy of Bothell owner Steve Ahrens believes that it’s important for children to learn about history – on a national, local and family level – and to help children understand that each of them is, in fact, a living part of that history. “Taking this view of history makes that common childhood question - ‘Where did I come from?’- take on a whole new meaning,” Ahrens said. “When children learn that they are not only members of a family, but also of a community and a state and a nation and the world, it expands the horizon of their imaginations and helps them see their own experiences, beliefs and ambitions in context.” As summer vacations begin, Ahrens offers the following suggestions for family activities that will help children form connections to local, family, national, and even global history – as they develop their “historical memory.” • Visit your local historical society to learn about your hometown. Who are the key figures that played a role in your town’s founding? What contributions did your town or state make to the history of the United States?

Seattle police officer, Bothell man charged with child molestation BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@bohtell-reporter.com

veteran Seattle Police Department officer was arrested Monday for child molestation and communicating with a minor for immoral purposes. Eric Smith, a 57-year-old Bothell resident and Seattle Police Department officer for more than 20 years, sexually abused the daughter of his former girlfriend multiple times between 2009 and 2013 while the victim was between the ages of 7 and 11, according to probable cause documents filed in Snohomish County Superior Court. A judge ordered Smith be held on $150,000 bail, which is $100,000 less than prosecutors asked for. Prosecutors said they feared Smith was a danger to the community and may try to interfere with the investigation, but the judge said Smith’s clean record prior to his arrest led to the lower bail setting, according to probable cause documents.

An investigation into Smith was opened two weeks ago after the victim stayed late following a school health class on inappropriate touching and told her teacher about Smith’s sexual abuse. The investigation revealed the victim first disclosed Smith’s behavior to her mother when she was 7 years old, but Smith confronted her, she recanted her claims and was punished. During the following years, the victim told her mother about the abuse two more times, as well as writing notes to her friends and others only to be ignored, according to the probable cause documents. In addition to sexually abusing the victim himself, including offering to pay her, Smith reportedly tried to get the victim to have sexual encounters with boys her age while he watched. Smith has been on administrative leave from the Seattle Police Department since the investigation was opened.

[ LEGAL from page 1] by a truck in the last lane that failed to stop. Caleb was sent to Harborview with a brain injury and died March 21. There is no evidence of speed, drugs or alcohol on the 29-year-old truck driver, according to the King County Sheriff ’s Office. Lynwood resident Kwesi Gyesi, 53, faces one count of felony hit-and-run for failing to get out of his vehicle and follow proper procedure. He struck and killed 20-year-old Sarah Paulson in a crosswalk at the intersection of Juanita Drive Northeast and Northeast 160th Street on March 14. Gyesi’s attorney withdrew from the case following a family emergency. The case setting was postponed to July 10 at 1 p.m. in the King County Courthouse. Paulson was on her way to catch a metro bus that she typically rode to Bellevue College. Charging documents state Paulson was mid-way through the crosswalk, which was unlit and dark at the time of the accident, when a witness saw a vehicle strike her. Paulson later died at Harborview Medical Center a couple hours later from collision-related injuries.

The witness saw the driver pull over but did not see the driver get out to check on the accident. A short while later, the driver drove off, charging documents state. “Another driver did exit her car and ran to Ms. Paulson’s body,” the documents continue, adding the witness immediately called 911. Gyesi called 911 sixteen minutes after the accident and police responded to a Kirkland apartment complex located at the 7300 block of NE 141st PL. Gyesi said he was driving to the apartment complex to begin work. Charging documents state he is a caregiver with Shared Journeys in Seattle. Sydney Katelane Jones, 25, was sentenced to 15 months in prison in April after pleading guilty to a hit-andrun death last November. She will also have to serve 18 months of supervised community custody after her release. Jones hit and killed Joseph David Humphreys, 31, just after midnight on Oct. 21, 2013, while attempting to light a cigarette. She told police that the accident occurred while she was “driving to the store,” south in the 18400 block of 62nd Ave. NE. Humphreys

was also walking south on the side of the Kenmore street, which has no sidewalks. Jones allegedly struck Humphreys with the front right side of the truck, causing damage to the hood of the vehicle, front headlight and side mirror, according to court documents. Jones called 911 at approximately 1:26 a.m. to report that she was out walking her dog and found an unconscious man on the side of the road. She stated that the “body was all twisted and looked like he was hit by a car because she could see car parts on the ground,” the documents continue. Humphreys was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency personnel.

Bothell City Council members voted to approve an ordinance authorizing a $42 million Parks and Public Spaces Bond Levy that will be up for public vote on the November 2014 ballot. The proposed bond levy would cost Bothell citizens $9.68 per month in property taxes based upon a $300,000 income home. The levy is limited to 25 years and over the course of time, as home values increase and new construction occurs in the city, the levy amount paid by individual taxpayers will decrease from the 2015 amount. If approved by voters, the levy will fund the following multiple city projects including the park at Bothell Landing, new north Bothell park (Snohomish County), North Creek Field No. 3 Turf, East Norway Hill Sportfields Improvements and Off-Leash Area, North Creek Forest and other Open Space Acquisition and Development, Multiway Boulevard: Main Street Extension (acquisition); and Main Street Enhancement.

June 10 and now workers are constructing the sidewalk, a sound wall and installing a traffic signal at Country Village. “This construction has certainly affected all of Bothell, not just Country Village,” said Katie Loveless, assistant manager for the shopping area. “It’s been a challenge, one that we have been waiting every single day for it to be over. But there is an end in sight now and we are thrilled.” Loveless said Country Village has been putting on events to get customers to make up for the decrease in foot traffic since construction started. “We’ve been doing our best efforts to do promotions and events to still get people out here,” Loveless said.

Construction occurred at Country Village for several months as part of a city project to widen roads. Shop owners say the construction brought in less foot traffic to their shops, as the entrance was often closed. SARAH KEHOE, Bothell Reporter

ountry Village workers are looking forward to the end of construction around their shops as they bring in summer events.

“We are so excited for the end of construction, this is huge for us,” said Nancy Stoll, owner of Quite the Find. “We had days where we had to close the entrance to County Village and I felt this really affected us because it caused a lot of confusion for people.” The city of Bothell is wrapping up a project that included widening Bothell-Everett Highway from approximately 1,200 feet south of 228th St. SE to 240th St. SE. “This corridor is a major north-south route in Bothell that requires improvements to provide acceptable levels of service for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians,” said a city spokesperson. Pavement was completed

One of those events, is the annual Brewfest hosted by Northshore Performing Arts Center Foundation. The event this year is July 19 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and will feature eight local breweries under the big tents, including Brickyard Brewing, Dirty Bucket Brewery, Duvall Springs Brewing, Foggy Noggin Brewing, Hi Fi Brewing, Lazy Boy Brewing, Triplehorn Brewing Company and Twelve Bar Brews. There is a $20 entry fee that includes a sampler glass and six 4-oz. A food truck will be on site. “Attendees and the participating breweries mentioned they had fun last year and the event went great, so we are looking forward to bringing it back this year,” Loveless said. Proceeds from this event benefit the Northshore Performing Arts Center Foundation, which brings live arts to the schools in the Northshore School District at no cost to the students. Attendees must be at least 21 years old. Photo ID required.
