BPD Thompson pleads not guilty to sexual assault disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

A Bothell police officer has pled not guilty to having sex with a teenage girl she met four years ago while working at Bothell High School as the resource officer. Dione Thompson, 45, is charged with two counts of first degree sexual miscon-

duct with a minor according to court documents. Thompson has been with the department for 17 years and is now a detective, responsible for sex offender notifications. The documents state that Thompson had sexual contact with the then 17-year-old girl in a patrol car outside a fast food restaurant, in the parking lot

of the Bothell library and in an unmarked Bothell police car in Kenmore, among other locations, mainly in vehicles. The teen, who has since opted to change sex and become a male, moved in with the officer for a period of time, the documents continue. The victim had felt that it was “all his fault” until he was hired on to an advo-

cacy center and underwent training in abuse. He then realized that Thompson had abused her authority and power when the relationship went sexual at Thompson’s behest. “[The victim] said that it took a while for him to figure out what it was that [Thompson] did wrong because he knew that the [ more BPD page 9 ]

Senior center celebrates a decade with open house BY DEANNA ISAACS Disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

The Kenmore Senior Center celebrated its 10th year open at the house in Rhododendron Park and the services it has been providing to seniors for a decade on Jan. 11.

Back in 1998, the city of Kenmore received Rhododendron Park from King County, which came with an old house and its annex. Then, in 2004, the city council granted the building to the Kenmore Senior Center (group) which had been

bouncing from place to place for meetings. “It’s wonderful it really is, I’m into my eighth year here as the program manager and I love it,” said Garreth Jeffers of the Kenmore Senior Center. “I just love what I do, otherwise I would have been

retired a long time ago, ‘cause I ain’t no spring chicken anymore!” The Senior Center is a welcoming place for seniors to come and chat while drinking coffee or tea, along with having a computer lab [ more CENTER page 3 ]

The nearby playground brings in young families who help spread the word of the center to other elders in the Kenmore community, because as soon as they walk in the door, they’re sure to keep coming back to the inviting atmosphere of the center. “That’s how I got involved, I just walked in the door and ever since then I’ve been involved,” Umemoto said. “I just like having this little center here...This small center and it’s just very cozy.” Even though the Kenmore Senior Center has been a staple of the community for 10 years, it’s in

THE

ATHLETE OFMONTH

The City of Bothell recently made some changes to the way it handles garbage pickup. In December 2014, the contract between Bothell and Waste Management expired, leaving the city open to pursue other options. According to Sabrina Combs, recycling and public services projects administrator for Bothell, the city has two garbage contractors as of Jan. 1. Recology CleanScapes is a new contractor for waste services, which provides most of the service to the city, whereas Waste Management provides service to areas annexed in early 2014. “The city selected Recology CleanScapes after an extensive competitive process,” Combs said. “Recology CleanScapes provided the best value for residents in comparison to the proposals offered by the two other providers, Republic Services and Waste Management.” Along with the new services, there are bound to be bumps along the way. Citizens have been taking to Facebook and to call lines trying to get some clarifications and some answers as to changes in their billing rates. “Recology CleanScapes Customer Service line has received over 200 calls after the bills were made available online and sent out to customers in the mail,” Combs said. “Plus, I have received about 40 calls related to questions about bills. Many of the questions were triggered by the

transition from a two-month billing cycle to a three-month billing cycle.” An added month of service fees is sure to make anyone’s eyes pop if they hadn’t known of it previously. However, Combs said that once most people realize the transition is to three-month billing cycles, they understand the reason why the bills seem so costly. “Most of the conversations are relating to the change from a two-month billing to a three-month billing,” Combs said. “Typically, once that is explained, customers understand the charges they see on their statement. The same is true when the hazardous waste fee is explained.” The new Recology services offer curbside pickup of items such as batteries, CFL bulbs or tubes, cooking oils, styrofoam, and other items. On top of the added items for pickup included in the services of Recology, there will also be a CleanScapes Service Center and Store opening in Bothell. Some other confusions with bills centered around a King County Solid Waste and hazardous waste fees, which are on all Bothell bills since the city contracts out to King County for these services. Bothell residents with concerns about their new garbage bills can contact Recology CleanScapes by phone at (425) 453-0220 or (844) 990-1100. Customer service can also be reached through email at Bothell@ recology.com. For more information about recycling, visit bothellcool.org.

Nortshore School District’s updated waiver procedures

Yes: 27.8% No: 72.2%

n January 31, we released the long-awaited draft boundary plan to accompany the opening of North Creek High School and grade reconfiguration in the fall of 2017. Since the release of that plan, over 15,690 individuals have gone on-line to see how the plan may impact them, and over 150 individuals have submitted feedback. That feedback will be carefully reviewed by the Enrollment Demographics Task Force (EDTF) in March to assess any potential changes in the draft plan. The feedback received also helps inform our communication efforts, transition planning and ongoing review of the draft plan over the coming year. The draft plan, including any revisions, will be presented to the school board in April. The EDTF will continue to study enrollment and demographic trends, housing starts and other relevant data over the coming year and submit a final boundary plan for school board approval in the spring of 2016. A frequently raised question in the feedback received to date involves the availability of waivers for in-district students impacted by boundary changes in 2017–18. While we are continuing to refine and finalize our procedures for indistrict waivers, the following principles are guiding our planning: • To the extent possible, the draft boundary plan has been crafted to allow the possibility for schools to accept in-district waivers if space allows. • Effective with new applications for the 2015–16 school year, in-district waivers will be approved for one year only and families will need to re-apply each year. All in-district waivers approved prior to 2015–16 will be honored under the waiver proce-

While likely not capable of meeting all needs district-wide, establishing these priorities would provide the opportunity for students in the final year of high school, middle school or elementary school in 2017-18 impacted by boundary changes to remain in their current schools if space allows. It would also enable students who completed 10th grade in 2016–17 to remain at their original high school through graduation, again if space allows. Over the next two and a half years, we will welcome several thousand students and hundreds of staff members to new school communities. Fortunately, all Northshore schools are great places to learn, and we are committed to making sure that all students receive a powerful, world class education at whatever school they attend.

dures in effect at the time the waiver was approved. • For 2017–18, in-district waiver requests will be prioritized if space allows at the following grade levels for students impacted by final boundary adjustments that change their resident area school in 2017–18: 1. Incoming 12th-graders, 11th-graders, 8th-graders and 5th-graders in 2017-18 will receive first priority. 2. In-district waiver requests for all other grade levels will receive second priority. 3. Out of district waiver requests will be prioritized last. • For 2018-19, first priority for in-district waiver requests will be given to 12th-graders seeking to complete their high school experience at their pre2017–18 resident area school. In-district waiver requests for all other grade levels will receive second priority, and out of district waiver requests will be prioritized last.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Question of the week:

What makes a community a community? What gives it heart, a pulse, movement? It is the people who are connected, invested and involved that make it something special and meaningful. Bothell is currently being torn apart by the boundary changes proposed by the EDFT (Enrollment Demographics Task Force) by the Norhshore School District. I live in a neighborhood called Brackett’s Landing on the slough, which is surrounded by apartment buildings, mobile homes, and the freeway and highway. We have had our children attend Maywood Hills Elementary, Canyon Park Junior High, and Bothell High School these past 13 years. I have been called the “Queen of Bothell” because of my level of involvement in our kids’ schools, coaching, scouts, church and community. We have helped with boosters, been involved in local politics, and walked in the Bothell parade. Now south of Beardslee will be sent to Woodmoor Elementary, Northshore Junior High and Inglemoor High School, hardly central to our current Bothell community. This in fact, is not our community at all. We don’t shop at the same stores, we aren’t on the same NYBA teams, we aren’t in the same Girl Scout troop, we are rivals and not neighbors. Separated by I-405 and lives apart, we simply are not community. This proposed change is truly heartbreaking for our own family, but has anyone considered the population that this small pocket of the Bothell community represents? Much of this population is low income housing, ELL families, and those

who have no voice and likely will not know about these changes until they happen. Transportation is already an issue for these students, many walking home from Canyon Park after staying for after school study help or sports practices. Imagine these 11-14 year olds having to figure out how to get home from Northshore Junior High a freeway away? Or these high school kids, whose families do not have cars to share with their teens, navigating getting home from Inglemoor after a seventh-period class? How are these students supposed to figure out how to get home with their younger siblings after a club when it takes them hours to walk from Inglemoor to Woodmoor and then home? The reality is that some of these students may not be able to continue helping with their siblings after school or on half days, or even finish school because of this change that further isolates them from their school communities. While this boundary proposal may be heartbreaking for our family, it may mean that many of these underprivileged students may not have the opportunity to be involved in any extra-curricular activities at their new schools or moreover, even be able to finish going to school because of the added stress to their families due to distance and insurmountable obstacles that the freeway presents. What makes our community special is those who are involved, those who take care of their own, those who speak up for those without a voice, and those who take a stand and say “We are one!” We are Bothell. Please come out to EDFT Open Houses and raise your voice!

DelBene’s voting record consistently bad on border protection A National Border Patrol union member wrote the Citizen congratulating Congresswoman Suzan DelBene for sponsoring a bill that supported border protection. One can only wonder if Michael Cox is at all familiar with her voting record providing consistent legislative votes for legalizing millions per year of illegal immigration and pushing non-enforcement of any laws that discourage it. It is a record that earns her an “F” by NumbersUSA, and makes clear that the bill Cox lauds was more of a political “appearance” measure than a substantive one. The 1st District recognition should be for her consistent voting record and not for one that just made an appearance of being for border protection and control.

Mother’s assault rose ‘to the level of torture,’ no jail time By Deanna Isaacs Disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

Kenmore mother pleaded guilty and will not spend any time in jail after intentionally misleading doctors into thinking that both of her daughters had health issues. The result was hospitalization and surgically placed feeding tubes for one of the two children. Instead, during a court hearing on Feb. 13, Elizabeth

Boyce was sentenced to get mental health treatment and will receive no unsupervised visits with her two children. According to charging documents, the issues came to light early in December 2012 when Boyce had brought her 2-year-old daughter to the hospital for seizures, repeated vomiting and diarrhea with weight loss. The parent of a child sharing the same room had become suspicious after hearing Boyce demand the child

The witness states that she saw Boyce sit on the couch with her daughter, grabbing her around the chest and restraining the young child.

The chance to get back to the state tournament for the third consecutive year would allow the team to attend to some unfinished business, as this group has yet to win a state title.

Augustavo said. Team chemistry cannot be understated when discussing this season at Inglemoor. A roster including five seniors earned the nickname the “Fab 5,” first made famous by the University of Michigan men’s basketball team in 1992 and a take off on the Beatles. They have played together at the high school level, but the connection goes even deeper than that. “I’ve played with some of these girls since the fifth grade,” said leading scorer and 6-foot-4 Inglemoor senior Deja Strother. “We’ve always played together and

Jane was born at Swedish Hospital in Seattle in 1928 to Victor A. Boyd and Camilla Winslow Boyd, and grew up on the family farm at Thrasher’s Corner in Bothell, along with her younger sisters Alexandra and Camilla. Jane graduated from Bothell High School and Central Washington College. In 1950 Jane wed her college sweetheart, Douglas Poage, and they and settled in Raymond, WA where Jane taught elementary school. As their family expanded to include four children, they lived in Bothell and Mountlake Terrace, finally building their fantastic A-frame home on a parcel of the family farm. Jane was a homemaker and a volunteer, sharing her love of reading as a librarian. She was a voter registrar, a Girl Scout troop leader, was active in the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Kenmore, the Bothell Historical Society and other organizations. She collected dolls, belonged to a bridge club that played together for over 50 years, and decorated her home for every holiday from Ground Hog Day to Christmas, and always had home made cookies in the cookie jar. She was Godmother to several of her nieces and nephews, and she had a special gift for connecting with young people. She and Doug owned and operated the Yakima Fruit Market and Nursery in Bothell where customers are still requesting her pickle recipe. Jane and Doug retired to Camano Island where they were active in St. Aiden’s Episcopal church. Jane will be loved and missed forever by her husband Douglas, children Camilla Eyre (Alex), Winslow Poage (Josephine), Stuart Poage (Karin) and Peggy Poage (Brian), and grandsons Noel Poage, Christian Poage (Alisa) and Winslow Poage (Harla). Jane was thrilled to be the great grandmother of three girls, Lively, Sedona and Juniper. Jane is also survived by her sister Alexandra Palmer, beloved nieces and nephews, cousins and friends, and was predeceased by her sister Camilla Boyd. Funeral will be February 28, 10 a.m. at St. Aiden’s Episcopal church on Camano Island. 1250487

Hannah, have done well to bridge the difference in age between the players on the roster. They all have a lot to offer to our team,” Augustavo said. The players love playing for their coach as well -- it’s just another component of the chemistry that adds to this season’s standout play. Augustavo says he’ll miss this graduating class -- “they’re like my own kids” -- and his graduating players feel the same. “John is a second dad,” Strother said. “He’s been a big part of my high school life.” The next game is the most important one for the Vikings -- no looking beyond that, according to Augustavo. The KingCo 4A tournament at Redmond High School Feb. 21 at 5:20 p.m. is a double elimination format and will send two teams to the state tournament. The championship game was on Feb. 19 with Inglemoor playing their biggest rival, Bothell High School for the top seed heading into state. On Feb. 21 the loser will have a second opportunity to get to Tacoma through the consolation bracket of oneloss teams. The best eight teams in the state will meet in the Tacoma Dome starting on March 5 and play into the weekend. Inglemoor expects to be playing until the very end.

we’re one of the closest teams out there when you see us play.” Strother, committed to play at the University of Washington next season, is not the only one of the Fab 5 with plans to play at the college level. Alex Hagen will play at the University of San Diego, Jordana Price will play at California State University Monterey Bay next year, and Hannah McCausland will play at Peninsula College in Bellingham. The remaining senior, Sammi Williams, is undecided. However, there’s too much remaining at stake now for the girls to stress about their plans after graduation. “It hasn’t really hit yet, but with how much fun we have, I’m going to miss that relationship,” Price said. “I’ll miss them but I’m looking forward to the next challenge,” Hagen said. The close-knit squad starts all veteran players, three seniors and two juniors, and the coaching staff isn’t afraid to use the deep bench led by a couple of seniors ready to enter whenever energy is lacking or a change is necessary. In past seasons, like with many teams, some players were not always about team first. However, this season there’s been an effort to make each other better through a team-first style. “Our captains, Jordana and

be put into the “bad” fat category. The key to any healthy eating plan is to stick to real foods - foods that were once living. Was a twinkie ever alive? Was a bagel ever alive? Unprocessed plant and ani-

Ben Matlak

Since the 1950s, we have been fed (mis)information that has led to the premature death of millions of Americans: fat causes heart disease. This “fact” went virtually unquestioned for years and is one of the major contributors to the health care crisis our country faces today. It’s time to come clean and move away from disease and illness, and towards better health. Fat is not the enemy. Despite the explosion of fat-free, low-fat and reduced-fat products, our country has become fatter and sicker. Fat is an essential nutrient for our body. We use it

This does not give us permission to start downing sticks of butter with every meal, but it should give us a better perspective on what types of food we should not fear. Don’t fall into the trap of always selecting low-fat options. Often times food manufacturers remove fat and replace it with sugar, sodium and chemicals. We must also keep in mind that not all fat is created equal. We should still avoid

to transport vitamins and minerals. We use it to form brain and nerve cells. We use it to produce hormones. Why would we want to eliminate this from our diet? Doctors and scientists have done multiple studies over the last ten years reviewing and analyzing all of the previous research on this topic. And the conclusion is clear: there is simply no significant correlation between saturated fat and heart disease.

Police officers respond to hundreds of calls each month and most are short and forgotten within a week or two. However, Bothell Police Department (BPD) Det. Mike Stone received a call from dispatch on Feb. 12, 2012 he will remember for the rest of his life. Stone was standing in the department’s parking lot when the call came over the radio - suspected crime scene. Ironically, Stone was

staring right at the department’s crime-scene van. That call came nearly two years to the day that Snohomish County Court Judge Linda Krese read the verdict of guilty to Alan Smith for the murder of his estranged wife Susann Smith. It was two years that changed many lives in Bothell. A photo of Susann Smith motivated department staff to find the truth, including Stone. It wasn’t the DMV photo plastering the news or court room - someone took

it for her for a job application - to show the real Susann Smith. However, the Smith house was not just a crime scene. There’s an undeniable truth that helps to spur many police to find answers at the scene of a homicide, but it can be difficult to set aside emotion. “How do I separate the two? When you come to a scene like this, everyone is in professional mode to begin with, so it’s easier for me – third person Mike Stone – can draft off this,” Stone said. “Now is to be professional, later is to try to make it personal with a trusted core group of family, but now, it’s professional.” There’s a time and a place to vent the emotional impact that any death investigation may bring. Having had so much time invested in the case, when it came time to arrest Alan Smith, Stone handed that off to someone else in the precinct. Not wanting the arrest to seem, in any way, a personal matter for the lead detective who had questioned Smith many times. The case started like any other: by following procedures and using skills that have been honed through training and on-the job experience - like natural death investigations or petty crimes. “Each officer here is given training on the basic preservation of a crime scene [and] that was done in the Smith case, as well,” Stone said. “Fortunately we had a prior detective working patrol at that time, so he knew exactly what to do.” First, officers went through the scene in order to confirm there were no safety risks, then the scene was locked down. Only required personnel and resources were brought in to process the scene. It was imperative to ensure the evidence was usable in court. Officers were required to obtain a search warrant in order to enter the house, even though they knew that the house belonged to the victim. There’s even a death investigation checklist that detectives used in order to establish that not only were proper procedures were followed, but also to ensure certain evidences were looked for and found. However, it’s not just detectives going into the scenes, it’s a team effort through the entire department – from patrol to the highest levels.

“The initial officers did a very good job, by the way; we were fortunate that we had a previous detective there at the scene and we also had a very experienced sergeant, Sgt. Crispin, who has a lot of training and experience in blood spatter and crime scene processing,” Stone continued. “So we were very fortunate to have those two. We rely on them for their expertise.” It was these two responders who took the first photos of the house the first photos that Stone would use when he came on scene as lead detective of the case. “I didn’t even enter the scene until a search warrant was written and served at the residence some time later,” Stone said. “My initial thoughts were just that, based on what I saw in those photos and what I had been told by my sergeant. There was a lot of blood, a body in the bathtub and some unusual circumstances in there, too.” The detectives would come to find that Susann had been bludgeoned in the bedroom and then dragged into the bathtub where she would drown. “My mind starts transitioning into processes, again, and the investigation checklist,” Stone said. “And then obtain the necessary information to move up the chain of command in the event we need more resources.” “The system isn’t just for me to say ‘we need more resources,’ we have to give a reason and why you need those resources, so you have to be articulate to the boss and to the command staff,” Stone said. And those outside resources ended up being pivotal. Not only did the Washington State Patrol crime scene van help out in processing, but Stone and fellow detectives had to search out a forensic footprint morphologist to help identify the many prints found at the location. It was professionalism that enabled the police department to cooperate with outside investigators. From Bothell detectives looking into the electronic data, such as the Garmin’s GPS data or the text messaging, to the WSP’s crime scene processing coordination to finding the morphologist in Canada, Bothell police did everything they could to ensure that the circumstantial evidence they had was strong.

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com call about the suspected homicide some months before. However, no matter what kind of evidence they gathered, it seemed that nothing could directly tie Alan Smith to the scene of the crime. “There was the blood transfer stain on the tub, and then the Tyvek suits that were located in Alan Smith’s car when he gave us consent to search his car,” Stone said. “Let’s go further with this to see if we can either include him or exclude him as a suspect.” Alan had purchased crocs, Tyvek suits, a mallet, a bicycle found during a search warrant of his financials (of which Smith had not told police) and found ditched later on, and even a gas can on the day the police came to speak with Alan; but none of that was concrete. It’s coincidental,

There were only two footprint forensic morphologists in North America. One is a retired FBI agent who, at the time, was out of the country on vacation. The other was a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Vancouver, BC, who was going on vacation very soon. Time was of the essence. Since they had Smith in custody for failing to produce his passport, the detectives decided to get what the footprint morphologist needed for the comparison to footprints found in the house where Susann was killed, with a search warrant in hand, of course. They conducted the required footprint actions in the basement of the BPD, one wall away from where Stone had first received the initial

yes, but not concrete. “They’re not absolute, they’re what we call ‘circumstantial evidence,’ but those were major components,” Stone said. “Those were very interesting pieces. That’s why we have a team, though.” It was because so many minds were working on the case from different aspects that detectives were able to gather so much evidence prior to Alan’s confession to another person. “We have the confession, but we didn’t have the hard direct piece that linked him, evidence wise,” Stone said. “To a judge who is not vested – not in a negative way… that’s what her job is – that was always a challenge for me. I always think ‘did I overturn every rock that needed

[ BPD from page 1]

to be overturned’? Is there something out there? Should we have gone to the landfill [to search for the murder weapon]?” Previous experiences of Stone’s told him it wouldn’t be worth the manpower spent on searching a landfill. However, those kinds of questions kept Stone up at night some nights. “Professionally, it’s there, but we couldn’t get that piece, and we may never have gotten that piece,” Stone said. “Sometimes that wasn’t good enough for me, that midnight hour, two or three o’clock in the morning, thinking about it, going over it, going over it, going over it…” more story online…

sexual contact was consensual, but he felt like she should not have taken it to that level,” the documents continue. “[The victim] said that he was getting panic attacks about what happened with Dione.” The victim had then contacted Thompson’s domestic partner, to inform her of what Thompson had done, but not with the intention that it be reported to authorities. Thompson’s domestic partner was the person who reported the abuses to the authorities. “[The victim] said that he had no idea that [the domestic partner] was go-

The case, which was investigated by the King County Sheriff ’s Office, is set for arraignment on Feb. 12 at 9 a.m. at the Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Getting the Best Price for Your Home! ”I interviewed 6 different real estate agents. Every single agent other than Kevin and Karal told me to list my home somewhere between $470K and $500K. Kevin and Karal came in super prepared with a plan to list it at $525K, and in the end they got $551K by drawing in multiple offers. It’s rare to find an agent who actually cares about getting you the best price for your home.” Jon A.
