Coyote sightings around Kenmore raise concern BY DEANNA ISAACS
disaacs@bothell-reporter.com
Recently, there have been coyote sightings in the Kenmore area and, even more disturbing, a coyote killed by an illegal trapping device in the neighboring township of
Lake Forest Park. Coyotes are nothing new, nor are they a problem that is likely to disappear. Kenmore police advise people to contact the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) or the US Department of Agriculture’s
Wildlife Services unit when these sightings are reported. “Sightings themselves are ‘actionable’ no more than seeing a skunk or raccoon, but if people are concerned, we want to know about it,” said Craig Bartlett, public information officer for the
Local representatives support bill defelonizing drug possession BY DEANNA ISAACS disaacs@bothell-reporter.com
R
ep. Luis Moscoso of the 1st District and Rep. Jessyn Farrell of the 46th District have announced their support for a proposed House Bill to defelonize drug possession. The bill was filed on Dec. 8 by Rep. Sherry Appleton. The bill would remove any felony charges for the personal possession of illegal substances and reduce the charges to a misdemeanor if passed by legislature. The intention is that the state could save a significant amount of money each year, from the approximate 9,000 non-violent drug felony
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. “...It’s really unusual for coyotes to turn on people, usually there’s some feeding involved when that happens.” Coyote attacks are rare. The first recorded case of a coyote attack in Washington
took place in April 2006, when one coyote bit two young children who were playing near their parents, and that animal was euthanized for unusually aggressive behavior. “If you have a sighting, pay attention to the behavior
of the coyote,” said Andy Cleland, wildlife specialist for the USDA Wildlife Services unit. “Keep in mind the five W’s; who what when where and why. The important pieces are the time of day, where you were at, what [ more COYOTE page 7 ]

arrests to freeing up space within the prison system. “Defelonizing personal drug possession is a smart, pragmatic approach to reducing the harms associated with the drug war,” said Farrell, who represents Kenmore residents in Olympia. “The move would reduce incarceration, save the state millions of dollars, and prevent thousands of individuals from receiving a permanent and costly felony record.” Other local representatives are looking to cosponsor the bill, but have yet to officially do so. “I expect to co-sponsor the bill to change possession of controlled substanc[ more DRUG page 2 ]
Mayor David Baker introduced each of the representatives during the ‘Legislative Send-off ’ held on Jan. 8 at Kenmore City Hall. During the two hour public event, representatives and senators spoke of how they plan to tackle issues in this coming legislative session, and citizens were given time to address some concerns.

Amaro Bistro marks start of retail rejuvenation in downtown Bothell disaacs@bothell-reporter.com
Amaro Bistro celebrated its grand opening on Jan. 7 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at their new location along Northeast Bothell Way. The restaurant is the
first to open as part of the 10-year-in-the-making revitalization project in downtown Bothell. Nick Wilkes is not only the owner of both IL Bistro, in Seattle, and Amaro Bistro, but also a Bothell resident. When he heard about the chance to open up a restau-
rant within his home town, he knew he couldn’t pass it up. “I’m a resident of Bothell, and I’ve lived here now for 16 years, raised my kids here and really love the community,” Wilkes said. “When I saw that Bothell was starting a revitalization of the down-
town I was really interested and got involved in some of the early planning. When I heard that the 6 Oaks... would have retail space, I contacted the developer to see if they were interested in having a restaurant.” The community has helped him find a path to
Bothell’s revitalization, too. although for Wilkes the clincher was McMenamin’s coming to the old Anderson School building. He knew of McMenamin’s from his days living in Portland and is looking forward to having such a destination experience bring people to
the city and to his resturant. The opening of Amaro Bistro is one of the first steps in this long revitalization project, though, and the first restaurant to open since the process began. “This revitalization plan started at least 12 years ago [ more BISTRO page 9 ]

Community rallies to help family after fire destroys belongings safe and, of course, that’s the most important thing,” said Dianna Galante, founder of Whole Earth Montessori located next door to the burned house. “I expect that the community will step up to help the family; this is Bothell - we’re nice [and] we help each other.” The community support has already started to come in. The Bothell/Woodinville Firefighter’s Benevolence Fund was used to put the family up in a hotel room at the Hilton Suites. “It was a life saver,” Kevin said. “I didn’t know that the [Benevolence Fund] existed so I’m very grateful it was there.” According to Kevin Hackney, Hilton Suites gave them complementary room service on Tuesday morning and the Snohomish Chapter of the Red Cross has also paid for a few nights at the same hotel, along with helping them with money for clothing and food necessities, and helping connect them to new places to live. However, that still won’t bring back Mona’s wheelchair. “Mona is very intelligent and can tell what’s going on,

but can’t do anything for herself,” Kevin said. “She’s 60 pounds and the way we get her around is her wheelchair.” While there is currently no fundraiser to help replace the lost chair, Lois Hackney’s sister, Mary Swann of Nome, AK, started a fundraiser on GoFundMe to help cover the costs of restarting family life after the blaze. And the Northshore community has reponded. As of press time, the GoFundMe had raised $14,088 with an initial goal of $10,000. “[I] will be doing my best
to help out via the Bothell Community page as well,” said Michelle Dunphy of Bothell in her donation note on the GoFundMe page. “Our thoughts and prayers go along with this donation to you - from one Rett Family to another,” said another note from Bonnie Keck’s $50 donation. “Prayers are also being sent for you and your family,” said Desirae Cook along with her $100 donation. “I love you all and I’m so glad you are safe.” Support has also come from the Bothell Com-
munity page on Facebook, where a list of needed things is already being gathered, including items such as a jogging stroller to temporarily replace the wheelchair, boys and girls clothing and cold weather coats, shoes for Kevin, and more. Bothell resident Suzy Mac is coordinating a foodtrain for the family as they are without an oven and other food-making basics. While the most important part is the family’s safety, it will take an army of community supporters to help this family get back on their feet.

O
nly a few days after Christmas, one Bothell family found themselves without a home after a fire ripped through their rented residence at the 2900 block of 228th Street SE. “I pulled in right as she got all the kids out; the front door was open with flames coming out of the front door,” said Kevin Hackney, renter of the home and father of the family. “[The kids] were in pajama mode so I just got them into our van and put the heater on to keep them warm.” According to Kevin, Lois, his wife, noticed a fire coming from the kitchen, but was more concerned with getting the kids out of the house. As per a Bothell Fire Department press release, the cause of the incident was determined to be an accidental electrical fire with damages estimated at approximately $200,000. The entire family managed to make it out unharmed, including both parents and the four children, ages 2 1/2, 4, 6 and 10. Lois Hackney, mother, and
10-year-old daughter Mona were rushed to the hospital as a precaution for smoke inhalation. They were released later that night. However, everything within the home was destroyed either by fire or smoke damage, including some very costly equipment for Mona’s disability. “My oldest daughter has Retts Syndrome,” Kevin said. “Her wheelchair was the most important thing that was lost. She is fully dependent.” Retts syndrome is a neurological disorder that affects only female children and can lead to the loss of cognitive and motor functions as a child grows. Mona’s wheelchair, her only means of mobility, cost around $11,000 to purchase and another approximate $10,000 to upgrade for Mona’s specific needs, making the total cost of the chair approximately $21,000. The family was working on upgrading the chair even further in order to allow Mona to speak with those around her via an onboard computer, a cost that is hard to replace given how much they’ve already lost. “I was surprised, shocked… Everyone was

T
he terrorist attacks in Paris at the newspaper Charlie Hebdo last week came as a shock to most. The killing of 12 journalists, in a military-style execution for exercising their free speech rights, should concern every person who loves their freedom and democracy. But for many in journalism, the attacks were a reminder of how important our jobs are to our communities and mostly to our democracy. Most newspapers in the United States, including the Bothell-Kenmore Reporter, received an FBI bulletin late last year warning of potential terrorist attacks against accredited media sources. Most of us laughed it off - until last week. But the attacks in Paris are not unusual. The Committee to Protect Journalists reported that 61 journalists were killed while on assignment during 2014. And while the killing of journalists is mostly confined to war zones and terror attacks, the attempts to silence journalists are not. Every week our reporters share stories of people in the community who do not agree with what we printed in our paper. Most leave us a voice mail, an email or a message on our Facebook page. Some take the time to write a letter to the editor. We appreciate constructive criticism.
We are not perfect and we make mistakes. We also make it a point to print corrections when we are alerted to incorrect factual statements in our publications. But when sources attempt to tell us how to write a story, they truly do not understand the point of a free press. We are an independent source for news in the community. We are not a public relations department for any business, city official or organization. We gather the facts and we report what we
find independently. Allowing sources to view stories prior to publication is against journalism ethics. Newspapers are meant to be an independent third party. It is the government’s primary job to protect its citizenry. It is journalist’s job to protect the citizenry by educating them on what the government is doing. But whether it is a terrorist attack or a source trying to tell reporters how to do their job, everyone should be concerned when journalists are silenced. Without free speech there is no freedom.

School district later start survey The Northshore School District (NSD) recently emailed to the community a list of questions relating to later start times for high school students. With over 5,000 responses the results were overwhelmingly in favor of later start times. This is a pivotal moment for the NSD and school board. Parent Advocates for a Later Start (PALS) are now hoping that the board will in earnest take what the community; parents, nonparents and teaching staff has voted for and move forward with later start times. There [was] a board study session Jan. 13 to discuss later start times and a board meeting straight after at the NSD offices in Bothell.

Fourth of July parade chairs in January? I must protest! Rather vehemently I might add. This has gone too far. While I am a supporter of the quaint practice of a Fourth of July parade, I am quite ambivalent about putting out chairs to reserve viewing spots for said parade. At first, chairs would appear the morning of the Fourth of July. Then, people started setting out their chairs days before the Fourth of July - chained up I might add. But this - setting out chairs on Main Street at the beginning of the new year! What next? The city of Bothell taking on line reservations for prime spots? Perhaps VIP packages will be available complete with wait staff ?
Really, this is too much.

Kenmore’s Legislative Send-Off focuses on transportation, education and taxes BY DEANNA ISAACS disaacs@bothell-reporter.com
T
he city of Kenmore invited residents to meet with state and federal representatives for a Legislative Send-Off on Jan. 8, as session starts back up in Olympia and Washington D.C. A representative from U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell’s office and one from U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene attended the Legislative Send-Off, along with State Sen. David Frockt and State Representatives Gerry Pollet and Jessyn Farrell. The big issues discussed at the meeting included education, transportation and the ecological health of local waterways. Funding K-12 education, ensuring that the State Route 522 corridor is safe and has up-to-date bridges, and the ecological impact of the State Route 520 barges and dredging of the Birthing Canal near Lakepoint in Kenmore, were heavily discussed. “Other issues that we’ll be looking at this congress are obviously transportation issues, when it comes to reauthorizing the Highway
Trust Fund, which brings critical dollars to our states and counties, and important projects like out here in Washington state and in the Kenmore area with SR 522, 405 and 520,” said Tommy Bauer, a representative from Cantwell’s offices. “Those are important issues we’ll be looking at when it comes to reauthorization.” Robert Knoll from DelBene’s office spoke about the dredging of the Navigation and Birthing channels, and the upcoming release of chemical analysis results from testing done by the Army Corps of Engineers. The results will show the toxicity levels of known dangerous compounds that may or may not exist within the soil. Frockt spoke about the need for funding SR-522 improvements in order to better support the increase in traffic from tolling. He’s also focused on a government that works through compromise. Pollet spoke about the need to protect local streams and trees, and public health interests that have been massively defunded since the recession.
And Farrell concentrated on funding education, both K-12 and higher education, along with infrastructure improvements for roads and transit. Of course, all of the representatives agreed that none of these things would change unless something was done about governmental incomes and revenues. “All I’m hearing is money, money, money and the dollar goes here or it goes there and it goes there,” said Kenmore business owner Carl Michelman. “What’s kind of frustrating is over years, I hear ‘Healthcare,’ ‘Education;’ it’s like a broken record. And it’s like a family that’s dysfunctional, the American way that we can’t get things right.” An example he gave was giving health insurance to his few employees and the exorbitant increase in costs that comes from it. “You were talking about revenue - we only have two

A Bothell man allegedly caught in Everett with a car full of drugs and a storage locker packed with guns, including an anti-tank weapon, has been indicted by a federal grand jury. A judge in U.S. District Court in Seattle last month ordered Aaron Knapp held pending trial. Knapp, 41, was indicted a few weeks earlier on multiple drugs and weapons charges stemming from investigations by the Snohomish Regional Drug and Gang Taskforce and the Everett Police Department. The Bothell man allegedly was stopped in June and a drug-sniffing dog nosed out narcotics in Knapp’s car and storage locker. Police found a combined pound of methamphetamine and heroin, three guns and $47,000 in cash in Knapp’s vehicle. A bomb-sniffing dog signaled that there were explosives in Knapp’s storage locker. Investigators obtained a search warrant and found more than a dozen firearms, including a Finnish anti-tank gun dating back to World War II. Knapp is a convicted
of the need to find new revenue for governmental funding, not just the need to continue with the same levels of funding. She also said that, while there is no crystal ball, there is a need to ensure funding for basic needs, such as education, transportation and infrastructure. “It is an interesting set of problems that I’m listening to and I’ve listened to them before. It’s not a matter of ‘the end of the day’ its not a matter of ‘three million people moved in,’ from my perspective. It’s not a matter of sewer and power… [or] dioxins in the channel,” said Richard Honor, resident of Kenmore. “That three million have come and gone, what we’re confronted with right now is the next two million that will show up... Who’s preventing the fire of tomorrow? It’s a bigger fire [and] its not the same one.” State Rep. Ross Hunter (D-Medina), who is the chair of the House Appropriations Committee, has said that the legislature will have to fill a $4.4 billion deficit this year, with $2 billion going toward education.

felon and prohibited from possessing firearms. The Bothell man has been under investigation for peddling drugs in Snohomish County since at least 2013. Detectives were watching Knapp’s Lynnwood house after reportedly hearing from several sources that Knapp was selling large amounts of meth and heroin out of the home. Sources reported that Knapp was buying and selling guns, too, police wrote in a search warrant. Knapp was out of custody in June pending trial in two separate Snohomish County drug cases when he was arrested outside an Everett storage unit. Police said he was driving a Mercedes loaded with more than $50,000 worth of heroin and meth. Thirteen firearms, including shotguns and rifles, were found in the storage locker. About half the guns were stolen. Knapp reportedly told detectives he was an unemployed student collecting money from a state Labor and Industries injury claim. Knapp is listed as the owner of The Filthy Technician, an automotive repair business, according
to state records. Prior to his arrest in June, Knapp had been charged with multiple crimes stemming from a December 2013 arrest by Everett police. In that case, Everett police got word that Knapp was dealing drugs out of his house on 75th Street SE. An informant reportedly told cops that he’d bought meth and heroin from Knapp more than 30 times. Everett officers arrested Knapp as he left his Everett home. He reportedly had a loaded .38-caliber semiautomatic handgun tucked in his waistband. Police later searched Knapp’s house and seized a quarter of a pound of heroin and about a half-pound of meth. They also found a handgun, rifle, holsters and ammunition. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Janice Albert last month dismissed Knapp’s charges here, citing the pending federal prosecution. He is now charged with 10 different crimes, including drug distribution and being a felon in possession of firearms. Trial is scheduled to begin later this year.

Alan Smith asks judge to decide fate BY SCOTT NORTH
Bothell Reporter Herald Writer
A Bothell man accused of fatally beating, stabbing and drowning his estranged wife in 2013 has decided to let a judge decide his fate. Jury selection for Alan Smith’s first-degree murder trial had been scheduled to begin this week. On Monday morning, his lawyer told Snohomish County Superior
Court Judge Linda Krese that Smith instead wants a bench trial. That means only the judge will weigh the evidence and reach a verdict in the case. Deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson said he still plans to present the same case, and he expects the trial will last roughly three weeks. Witnesses were scheduled to begin testifying yesterday. Smith, 39, is accused of
attacking his estranged wife, Susann Smith, 37, inside her Bothell house in February 2013. Her body was found in the bathtub. Prosecutors allege a washcloth found under Susann Smith’s body contained the defendant’s DNA. Bloody footprints also reportedly were matched to his feet. The Smiths were getting divorced and battling for custody of their two
young children. Although detectives found evidence they contend showed Smith carefully planned the killing, he reportedly buckled under the strain of the investigation. He was arrested after he allegedly told an acquaintance he’d met at church that he killed his wife. At the time, Smith was the focus of intense scrutiny, much of it his own doing. About a month after the
killing, the defendant and his then-girlfriend, Love Thai, moved into the house where his estranged wife died. Neighbors complained to police that Smith and Thai engaged in sex on the lawn. The pair gave television interviews and Thai posted regular updates about the case on Facebook. She also turned to social media to announce that she was pregnant with Alan Smith’s child. Thai later gave birth and put the child up for adoption. She hanged herself in April. Judge Krese has been
ruling on pre-trial motions in the case for months and is aware of the unusual history. For example, in December, she agreed with Smith’s attorneys that jurors should not be told that some of Smith’s coworkers at Boeing considered him strange and had nicknamed him “Creepy Alan”. Smith’s lawyer, Caroline Mann, did not immediately respond to questions about Smith’s reasons for deciding to seek a bench trial instead of taking the case before a jury.
Department of Health posts toxic algae warnings at lake access points BY DEANNA ISAACS Disaacs@bothell-reporter.com
The Washington State Department of Health sent warnings to the city of Kenmore concerning a toxic algae bloom at the north-end of Lake Washington. Algae blooms occur when there is a combination of warm water temperatures, sunlight, and nutrient-rich waters that allow the algae to
reproduce quickly. “It’s unusual for this time of year, but not unheard of,” said Andy Loch with the Bothell public works department. “Typically, as a safe guard measure, once you have the algae present, you just assume that the toxins are present as well.” Blue-green algae, which has been detected in great numbers in Lake Washington, is a cyanobacteria
that has similar qualities of algae, looks ‘bluegreen’ and is commonly found on land and in waterways. Some forms of bluegreen algae can produce toxins or poisons which can cause illness in humans, pets and other animals to come into contact with it. “Just [be] aware that it’s now present in the system…,” Loch said. “Those
who are typically around the water can keep an eye out for it and to avoid contact with it.” Blue-green algae can create nerve toxins (neurotoxins) and liver toxins (hepatotoxins) and it is suggested that people call a doctor or veterinarian if any people or pets have come into contact and show signs of poisoning. Symptoms of neurotoxin poisoning include,
Jan. 8 declared Cougar Football Day in Bothell, team honored BY DEANNA ISAACS Disaacs@bothell-reporter.com
The Bothell High School gymnasium was full of cheering and fun a week ago, as Mayor Joshua Freed proclaimed that Jan. 8 would be known throughout Bothell as “Bothell High Cougar Football Day.” The honor was bestowed as a result of the team winning the 4A State Championship and finishing the year ranked 59th in the nation. “The players and Tom were so exited to share and celebrate this day with the BHS, the parents and the community,” said Yonni Mills, BHS Athletic Director, in an email. “I would like to thank the community for
their unbelievable support! ‘One Town. One Team. One dream.’ says it all.” The team finished a perfect 14-0 during the regular season an playoffs. “Many of the football players commented how ‘cool’ it was and how special they felt to have the Mayor Joshua Freed on campus to present the proclamation,” Mills said. Cougar Football Day was announced at the MaxPreps assembly, during which the National Guard presented BHS Football with a national ranking trophy as part of the 10th annual MaxPreps Football Tour of Champions.
Proclamation: Whereas, at the beginning
of the 2014 season the Bothell High School Football Team committed to achieve the goal of playing in and winning the Washington State Championship; and Whereas, the positive spirit that has been displayed throughout the years and especially this season brought families, alumni and the community together; and Whereas, the players, coaching staff, parents, faculty, and Booster Club dedicated an amazing amount of time and energy to encourage and support the team taking them to play in the highest achievable level in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association; and Whereas, the Bothell Football team was undefeated in
2014 with a 14-0 season; and Whereas, the Bothell Football team went on to win their first-ever 4A State Championship Title on Dec. 6, 2014; Now, Therefore, I, Joshua Freed, Mayor of the City of Bothell, do hereby proclaim Jan. 8, 2015 as “Bothell High Cougar Football Day” in the City of Bothell and urge all citizens to celebrate the success of the Bothell High Cougar Football Team and congratulate its players and coaching staff for their dedication and commitment to this team.

also deter the animal with a powerful spray of water from a hose or by spraying them with a vinegarfilled water gun. Do not run away. Like many predators, fleeing is often seen as a prey’s response. A slow backing away while making noise and seeming larger to the animal is a safer way to get away. In order to deter coyotes near a house, prevention is the best defense. While many internet neighborhood community groups have suggested predator urine as a means to scare coyotes off, this may actually be the worst course of action.
“One of the things we use to capture coyotes, when that’s necessary, is urine of several different types, including coyote, fox, [wolf and cougar] urine,” Cleland said. “Almost all urine is an attractant to coyotes.” Instead of using urines, ensure the fence of the home is around four- to five-feet tall and, to deter diggers, place concrete blocks or metal wire mesh at the base of the fence and extending out a foot or two. Those with outdoors pets, such as cats, dogs, or fowls, should bring them inside when it’s dark. According to Cleland,
some of the best preventative medicine is to learn more about how coyotes live. Learning more about these native animals and how to live near them without issue is much more helpful than removing the animals, as that only leaves a temporary void that will be filled with other coyotes. The USDA Wildlife Services won’t send out an investigator either, but they do keep track of coyote sightings and may be able to answer questions about coyotes in the area.

Seattle’s Bruce Irvin thrives in second season at linebacker By John Boyle Everett Herald
B
ruce Irvin is discussing his second season as a linebacker, talking about how he has finally accepted that he is no longer a defensive end, when Cliff Avril interrupts from the next locker over. “He ain’t bought in all the way,” Avril says with a laugh. And Avril is right, as much as Irvin has improved as a linebacker this year, he is still in many ways a defensive end at heart, putting the act of hitting a quarterback above all else. “I’ll always be a D-lineman at heart, but (linebacker) is fun,” said Irvin, who was drafted in the first round as an end in 2012, but moved to strongside linebacker last year. In fact Irvin, who had 6.0 sacks this season while splitting time between linebacker and pass rusher, says he’d still take a sack over an interception return for a touchdown.
It is a play that is the Holy Grail for many defensive players, and something Irvin has two of this year, including one in Seattle’s Week 17 win over St. Louis that clinched the NFC West title. “That was fun, but I’d rather have a sack though,” he said. “I’d rather have two sacks. I’d take one and a half sacks over them two touchdowns. I need them sacks, man. I need ‘em. I need ‘em, man.” But even if the passrushing element of his job is still Irvin’s first love, he is embracing his role at linebacker in a way he didn’t in 2013. It wasn’t that Irvin was bad last season, but he didn’t have the impact he has had this season. He is playing well against the run, making plays in coverage, making the right pre-snap adjustments, all while still getting those cherished sacks as a pass rusher. “I feel like I’ve made a significant stride to becoming a good, consistent ‘backer,” Irvin said. “The biggest
Bruce Irvin returns an interception for a touchdown against St. Louis in Week 17. Genna Martin, Everett Herald thing with me was just being consistent. Last year I’d have a good game, then fall off two games, then have a good game. So that was the biggest thing for me was to try to stay consistent, and I think I’ve done that pretty well this year.”
Irvin said the biggest change as been “Just studying more. I wasn’t too sold on becoming a ‘backer, because I was a D-end all my life. So I really didn’t buy in last year like I was supposed to. But this year, I took it more seriously, I guess you could say,
studying my craft, trying to correct my mistakes.” By thriving in a dual role this season, Irvin, who is arguably the team’s best pound-for-pound athlete, has overcome one of his perceived weaknesses coming out of West Virginia, where he was used as a situational pass rusher. Plenty of people liked Irvin’s upside in the 2012 draft, but not everyone was sold on the idea of him as a first-round pick. Seattle, however, used the No. 15 pick on Irvin, and he was effective, collecting 8.0 sacks, the most for a rookie that season, but as was the case in college, he was a part-time player. This season, however, Irvin has played 70.8 percent of Seattle’s defensive snaps and his role has increased even more of late with him playing 84 percent or more of the snaps in each of the past three games. Against Carolina and mobile quarterback Cam Newton, who Irvin sacked twice earlier this season, Irvin figures to have a big role once
again when Seattle kicks off postseason play tomorrow night. “I’m just doing the complete opposite of what my biggest knock was coming into the league — I was a one-dimensional pass rusher who couldn’t play the run,” Irvin said. “I think I’m proving that I can play the run pretty good. Pass rushing is coming along, so I think I’m becoming a complete player if you ask me.” The Seahawks were excited about the idea of Irvin as a linebacker when they made the move last season. “When you look up the picture of a linebacker, his face shows up,” linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. said early last season. “We’re really excited, he’s going to do it all. He’s going to be rushing the passer, he’s going to be playing the run, he’s going to be buzzing to the flats, he’s going to be flying around.”

Where did all the food go? T have acquired over the past few weeks tend to stick around and will not easily be gotten rid of even with dieting and exercise. The reason is that most people get used to eating more over the holidays, and while they plan to cut back after New Year,
they often still hold on to larger servings, which by now have become the new normal, says Dr. Brian Wansink, author of “Mindless Eating – Why We Eat More Than We Think” (Bantam Books, 2006) and lead researcher of a new study on the subject of holiday weight gain. Following hundreds of families over an
says Dr. Wansink. And those consequences are no laughing matter. For both men and women it only gets harder to lose body fat as they grow older. Especially at menopause, most women begin to store more fat around the waist, even if they don’t get much heavier. And as waistlines increase, so do a number of serious health risks, according to research conducted at Harvard University. Abdominal, or visceral, fat is of particular concern because it is a key factor in a variety of health problems, the study report warns. Visceral fat, which is situated in the spaces between the abdominal organs, has been linked to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain forms of cancer. The simplest way to

determine abdominal fat amounts is to measure your waist size. A waist circumference of 40+ inches for men, and 35+ inches for women is considered an elevated health risk, although this can slightly vary by ethnicity. Also, abdominal fat can be problematic even in people whose Body-MassIndex (BMI) is within a healthy range. So, if you wonder where all the goodies from your recent celebrating have ended up, and your belly size gives you a clue, be advised that you have work to do. Yes, real, not just perceived, reduction of food servings may be in order. But equally important is to improve the nutritional quality of your diet. In addition, greater efforts in the gym, the pool, or on the bike path may be required. Strength training (a.k.a. weight lifting) is highly recommended. But foremost, make changes in your eating and lifestyle habits for the long run, so you don’t have to start over next time the holidays come around.

he holiday season is behind us, and while the cheering was a lot of fun, it is now time to go back to a healthier eating regimen, especially if the scale indicates that you’ve been overdoing it a little. Unfortunately, the pound or two you may
extended period of time that included the holiday season, the researchers found that participants indeed bought more healthy foods like fruit and vegetables in the days after New Year but also kept eating junk like sugary snacks and fast food, which led to hundreds of additional calories, in some cases twice as many as they consumed during the holidays themselves. So much for good intentions. The problem is that once people start eating larger portions on special occasions, they tend to continue doing so, although they may believe they are not. Insidiously, it becomes a regular habit that leads to ever-increasing food consumption year after year, with all the wellknown consequences of unhealthy weight gain,

Shelley will serve as assistant vice chancellor for information technology and chief information officer. In that role, he will direct UW Bothell’s eLearning and instructional technology programs as well as oversee central IT functions and support services. Shelley is a UW Bothell alumnus (’04, IAS Global Studies) who has held the position in an interim role since February. “Joe has a strong commitment to supporting teaching and learning on our campus, and he possesses an impressive understanding of national trends, including data management, risk management and information assurance,” said Susan Jeffords, vice chancellor for academic affairs. “His passion and dedication to serving the mission of UW Bothell is evident.” Shelley joined UW Bothell in 2005 and has held positions of increasing responsibility and complexity since then. He was selected as an EDUCAUSE/CLIR Leading Change Institute Fellow in 2014 and has been a frequent presenter with EDUCAUSE. UW Bothell is the fastest

High school students: Take MLK as a day “on” not a day “off ” In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” On Jan. 19, approximately 250 high school students will answer this call to action as part of the annual MLK Day of Service in Snohomish County and
Bothell area students are especially needed. During this day of service, teen volunteers can choose from different hands-on projects throughout Snohomish County. Projects range from helping seniors in their homes, to planting trees and building raised flower beds, to sorting and organizing supplies for area nonprofits. Teams of students will be led by adult volunteers. Marking its sixth year in Snohomish County, MLK Day of Service brings high school students and community volunteers together to serve the most vulnerable members of our community, transforming Dr. King’s life mission and teachings into community service. Organizations like school clubs, scout troops and service groups who want to volunteer together are highly encouraged to register as a team. Teens can also register individually, too. More details and registration information is online at www.uwsc.org/mlkday.php. For Instagram, Twitter and Facebook users, the hashtag for the event is #MLKDaySnoCo. MLK Day of Service in Snohomish County is a partnership of United Way of Snohomish County, YMCA of Snohomish County, Catholic Community Services, Senior Corps-RSVP, and United Parcel Service. How to volunteer Volunteers must sign up by Jan. 12 to participate. Teens aged 14-19 can register online at www.uwsc. org/mlkday.php or contact United Way’s Youth United program at youthunited@ uwsc.org or 425-374-5530. Volunteer slots at specific projects are on a space-available basis. Adult volunteers are also needed to lead each group of teen volunteers. If interested in volunteering to lead a team, email Michelle Morris at michelle.morris@uwsc. org.

achievements. According to the college, the award also recognizes distinguished service to the College of Engineering, the engineering profession, or the community. Scott said she is honored to receive the award. “I really love UC Davis and cherish my experience there. To be a recipient of this award is extremely surprising and humbling,” said Scott. Scott earned her undergraduate and master’s degrees in agricultural engineering from UC Davis, in 1979 and 1981. She then pursued her doctoral degrees in agricultural engineering and mechanical engineering from Michigan State University, in 1990. Since Scott’s arrival at UW Bothell in 2012, science and technology education has risen to regional and national prominence. Under Scott’s leadership, the School of STEM has experienced tremendous growth and achievements. Three new degrees and six new programs were launched, while the number of full-time STEM students increased by more than forty percent within the past year. During Scott’s tenure, the School of STEM has secured more than $1.8 million in funding and research proposals have increased by 46 percent. This has resulted in several awards, including the school’s first Fulbright Award and two National Science Foundation CAREER awards. Scott is one of few women in the field of engineering. In her role as Dean, she is
charged with encouraging other women to pursue a degree in engineering and other STEM fields. “From a purely economic stance, as a country, we can’t afford to look for ideas from a small population,” Scott says. “In order for our country to reach its fullest, it is critical that the whole population becomes involved, men and women. Women in particular have an incredible opportunity in the field of engineering and STEM, we are all needed.”

the iMiEV comes with everything you need from a daily driver for what you do on the roads. You have heat, a radio, plenty of room for everything you do and all the little ones… Plus heated seats, an option that is super amazing in the winter. The back seats are spacious in head-room and the leg-room isn’t bad with the front-seat set for my 5-feet, 5-inches. I could get in and out of the back easily with room to spare for knees of taller people. However, it is only a four-person car. There’s a rather uncomfortablelooking plastic bit in the center of the rear seats, so five-person families beware. There are airbags of plenty, so your family will be safe and sound from front and the side via curtain airbags. The hatch offers lots of space for storage of groceries or pets, and the back seats fold down to accommodate larger items. The aesthetics of the iMiEV are pleasing, the front bumper smiles at you whenever you come towards it, but the interior looks a bit too plastic. Not much money spent on the inside.
The 2015 Mitsubishi iMiEV, a minicar for the eco-conscious. DEANNA ISAACS, Bothell Reporter
Remember, though: Cheapest EV car in America. And that’s huge! In the last several weeks, I’ve started seeing more and more iMiEV’s on the road – they’re cheap to purchase and cheap to power. Having an electric motor and single-speed transmission, you’ll be propelled swiftly from stop to the speed limit – though watch yourself, these little things are zippy in normal drive mode. Luckily, the regenerative braking will help you recharge part of your battery while on the go – not much, but a little.

There are three settings to the transmission, chosen from the gear selector: D for normal driving, Eco for battery-saving, and B for greater regenerative braking. The rear-wheel drive is a plus, too, as it adds a little bit of fun in your daily drive as you silently propel yourself forward. Other than that, the iMiEV is rather spartan. The interior, while nice, isn’t luxurious. The USB is a nice touch (though not in the model I drove), and the speakers are great, but there’s no Sirius radio or bluetooth connectivity.

ed as America’s Cheapest Electric Vehicle, so for the price, you’re getting a car with zero emissions and all the eco-friendliness you can handle. The big question is charge versus range. Don’t be fooled by the MPG equivelancy (MPGe); that’s based off an equation to help consumers understand the amount of power used compared to a gas vehicle. What you want to pay attention to is range, which is about 60 miles for the iMiEV. It charges quickly and cheaply around town at any of the many DC level three charging stations (my favorites are the Blink! stations at Fred Meyer stores) where one can charge a nearly dead battery to 80 percent in around 30 minutes. At home and on a normal, grounded wall outlet, it can take around 20 hours for charging a dead battery to full. So, if you want to lower your carbon footprint but not spend your life savings, then head over to Mitsubishi and get yourself an iMiEV.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity 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 delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g 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 m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
