RFA moves forward, setbacks persist BY AARON KUNKLER
Haunted Trails is a labor of love for those at Bastyr BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com
Bastyr University in Kenmore is preparing to serve up the scares again with their annual Haunted Trails event starting tonight. This year’s theme is
horror movies, and student volunteers are hard at work setting up five distinct attractions - but it’s a labor of love. “It’s like a giant party atmosphere,” volunteer Chiaya Sherman said. “That we earn money towards our study abroad
program is just the cherry on the sundae.” Proceeds from the event go towards tuition and study abroad vouchers for students who participate in the event. Tickets are $20 apiece, and with around 2,000 people expected during Haunted Trails’ two
weekends, it amounts to a hefty chunk of change put towards students’ education. “The sole purpose is to raise money for the students,” event coordinator Lily Isaacson said, as well as providing a way for [ more HOLIDAY page 3 ]

UW Bothell raises minimum wage to $15 an hour BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com
The University of Washington Bothell announced a plan Sept. 28 to raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour for all campus employees by 2017, a plan which has excited univer-

New athletic park in Bothell fitting for namesake 1st Lt. Nicholas Madrazo BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com
S
FORMER BOTHELL RESIDENT NICHOLAS MADRAZO
occer was a big part of Nicholas Madrazo’s life, so with construction tentatively scheduled to begin this fall on the long-awaited park bearing his name, his family says they’re happy it will be filled with sports fields and courts. The 1st Lt. Nicholas Madrazo Memorial Park has been in the works for around five years, intended to honor the memory of the Bothell native who was killed in Afghanistan while on patrol in 2008. “It’s fitting that a park like this is named after him because he spent a lot of time in the Bothell recreation departments playing various sports,” said Joel Madrazo, Nicholas’s father. “That was really a benefit to him and his friends.” Park designs from the Bothell Parks and Recreation department show the proposed location at 18707 North Creek Parkway could have two tennis courts, a basketball
court, a picnic shelter, a large, multi-purpose field for youth sports and a memorial. Berger Partnership PS from Seattle is creating the memorial with help from the family. The five-acre park would be within a larger 12-acre plot housing a wastewater overflow building and a large containment tank owned by King County, which sits directly under the planned soccer fields in the Bothell Business Park. King County and the City of Bothell signed a land-use agreement last October allowing the city to build on the land while the county retained ownership. An annual fee of $6,500 was agreed to by the city. The memorial park is expected to cost around $1.2 million to develop said John Keates, Bothell Parks and Recreation director. Madrazo said the effort was spearheaded by local firefighter and Marine veteran Hugh Moag. “When Nic died, there
were several firefighters that came to our house from the Bothell area,” he said. “He was one of the firefighters.” Madrazo recalls sitting down with Moag in a downtown coffee shop the first time they met. Soon afterward, Moag approached the city council with the idea of dedicating a memorial park to Nicholas Madrazo. Finally, it seems those efforts may be coming to fruition with park designs around 80 percent finished, Keates said. The plans will be presented to the Bothell Business Park for approval, after which the city will begin bidding out construction contracts, with an anticipated opening in fall 2016. Nicholas Madrazo was killed in Afghanistan on Sept. 9, 2008 while on patrol after a roadside bomb exploded underneath his Humvee, also killing two other Marines and an interpreter. He graduated from Bothell High School in 2001, and attended Seattle
Pacific University where he earned a Bachelors Degree in business administration before signing on with the Marines. “He could have easily left SPU and worked. He didn’t have to choose that route,” Joel Madrazo said. “It became apparent that he really wanted to serve, to do his duty.” Nicholas was only 25 years old when he was killed, but his family said that was enough time for him to make an impression both at home, and on the children he met in Afghanistan. His family said Nicholas would interact with the children, even asking his family to send paper, pencils and candy to hand out on patrol. He also found time for the occasional game of soccer. “He was a very outgoing person,” Joel Madrazo said. “He really had a heart to do good in that place.” “He didn’t want to just go there and say, ‘Well, I didn’t really have an impact.”

From left, Chiaya Sherman, Lily Isaacson, Jim Gilchrist, Daniel Rose and Jenny DiMartino, are organizers for the Haunted Trails event in Kenmore at Bastyr University. AARON KUNKLER, Bothell Reporter Isaacson is working on what she describes as a giant spider with eight-foot long legs, which she hopes will terrify guests on the trail section of the event. The path starts by winding its way through woodland trails in sprawling Saint Edward State Park before ushering thrillseekers through a mummy tomb, a ‘Texas’ barbecue, a clown tent and finally a labyrinth. Isaacson said the event keeps students entertained well beyond the the two weekends. “You see them through-
out the year, and you’re like ‘You were the mummy,’ or ‘You were the giant spider,’” she said. Bastyr’s Haunted Trails runs Oct. 16-17 and again Oct. 23-24. Kenmore Self Storage will also be putting on a Fall Festival from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 24 where participants can go on a self-guided tour through The Haunted Halls. For those with young kids, Country Village in Bothell and the businesses in downtown Bothell will host trick-or-treating on Halloween.

David Cogan would have to recuse himself for any teacher contract talks This is a follow up to a previous letter I recently read. David Cogan, a candidate for school board is married to a Northshore teacher and, if elected, cannot vote or participate in any discussion of the teacher’s union contract or actions taken by the teacher’s union (RCW 42.23.030). He must recuse himself. And, as his presence during a discussion or vote would be considered as potentially influencing said vote and discussion, he would not be permitted to be present for either. As approximately half of the Northshore School District’s operating budget is spent on teacher’s salary and benefits, having a school board member that cannot in any way have a voice in the school board’s decisions regarding said contract is not in the best interest of this district, its teachers or its students.

Why is the new Bothell City Hall so ugly? Why is the new Bothell City Hall so ugly? It looks like a hospital building straight out of the ‘50s. With the amount of money it cost you would think the city of Bothell could have hired an architect to create something attractive like the police station. I hope this isn’t an example of Bothell’s new “vision.”

Problems with the I-405 HOT lanes There are problems with the I-405 HOT lanes. The limited entry and exit points make commuting worse. Previously, my husband and I could enter the freeway at the 195th/Beardslee on-ramp in Bothell (where we live) and merge over a couple of lanes into the HOV lanes before the 522 flyover. Now, we enter the freeway in the same place but, 1) the traffic in the general purpose (GP) lanes is significantly heavier and slower, 2) we are forced to continue traveling in the slow GP lanes until the 160th/Brickyard (entry point three) area because that is the closest legal entry point to the HOT lanes from our entry point on to I-405, and 3) of course we now have to pay for something that was free, which we have decided we are willing to do to shorten our commute time. The only way for us to get in the HOT lanes sooner is to use neighborhood surface streets to travel north to the Canyon Park on-ramp so we can get in the HOT lanes at entry point two. This means we will have to deal with busy morning neighborhood traffic, including school zones and we will add yet one more car to surface street congestion. We are either stuck sitting in GP traffic until we can legally enter the HOT lanes at entry point three or stuck in neighborhood surface street traffic while we travel north on back roads so we can get on southbound interstate in order to access HOT lanes at entry point two. So although we were “doing the right thing” before by carpooling, we get penalized twice with the new HOT lanes in that we are forced to drive in the slower GP lanes for a longer period of time and we now pay for what previously was free (or alternatively, we can drive north on neighborhood surface streets so we can then drive south on the interstate but legally access the HOT lanes sooner). So much for “doing the right thing” and so much for the HOT lanes
making things better, on the interstate and/or neighborhood surface streets. Today, I also read in the Seattle Time that the buses can now use the road shoulder in certain areas to get through during heavy congestion. I think that speaks volumes about congestion with the new HOT system. I also think that is extremely unsafe. And if the buses can “bend the rules” because of congestion then why can’t I (the average commuter) bend the rules and jump in the HOT lanes as soon as I can rather than at the legal entry point. My rationalization is I am making the GP traffic better by getting out of the GP lanes and into the HOT lanes as soon as possible although not at a legal entry point but hey, if the bus can ride on the shoulder due to congestion then traffic rules are now more of a guideline, right? Am I going to do that? No, because I would get a ticket for breaking the rules. HOT has not made our commutes better, it has made it worse and more costly.

Duerr, McNeal, Rheaume will restore integrity to Bothell After long careers in city management and the fire service, we moved to Bothell. Sadly since locating here we have watched reports of Bothell City Councilmembers being involved in shameful scandals, defying state regulations, and placing the financial interest of developers and themselves above that of the community-atlarge. Their lack of judgment has been a distraction, and worse, has resulted in poor policy decisions that will affect us for years to come. We are pleased that there are three candidates on the ballot in November that will work to rebuild trust, increase transparency, and provide broader representation of our diverse and growing community. Davina Duerr, James McNeal and Andy Rheaume all have a history of commitment, honesty and integrity. They have advocated on behalf of Bothell locally and throughout the region; fought to preserve open space; and supported the protection of our neighborhoods. They are committed to fiscal responsibility, managed growth and ensuring that Bothell receives its fair share in regional issues. Their experience, leadership and openness will be a breath of fresh air—and critical to restoring faith in our city leadership.
Tara Adams and Gerald Eller, Bothell
Vote for Davina Duerr for Bothell City Council Please vote for Davina Duerr for Bothell City Council. Given her years of community work and involvement, she’s already proven her diligence and dedication to making Bothell a special place to live. As an architect, she’s been an invaluable ten-year member of Bothell’s Landmark Preservation Board and has been chairperson since 2008. Davina has also served as vice-president of the Northshore School foundation and co-founded a grassroots funding effort that has raised over $26,000 to support homeless children within the school district. These are just some examples of her compassionate, committed leadership. Bothell needs that leadership. In their July endorsement, the Seattle Times declared that Davina is the best choice for a council that needs to rebuild trust, increase transparency and manage growth. They stated Davina’s proven community experience should make her an asset as Bothell continues its downtown redevelopment and works to maintain its charm while accommodating growth. I couldn’t agree more. Based on her incredible primary results, the vast majority of Bothell voters agreed as well. There is one more election to go and it is imperative that we all vote for Davina in November. Let’s make sure this stellar candidate becomes our new Bothell City Council-person.

At the same time, Tim is endorsed by two of the City Council members who voted in an emergency council session to appeal a state ruling that provides safeguards for open spaces, and protections from environmental damage, [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

Gorc is dangerous for Bothell The attempt to paint Roz Gorc as anything other than a potential City Council insider is dangerous.

doors in 1990 and currently offers around 45 degrees in core fields such as science, technology, education, mathematics, engineering and nursing. Jessica Dowell is an education major in her junior year at UW Bothell. “I think that’s great, I think the minimum wage should definitely be bumped up,” she said. In 2014, the university enrolled around 5,000 students, and employed more than 700 staff and faculty, not including student employees. Hall said the university budgeted for the increases, so the higher wages won’t be funded through additional student fees. This stands in contrast to the university’s Seattle branch, which funds some positions through student fees, according to a press release issued by the university. The Seattle branch pay raises will affect around 5,500 workers, including around 3,500 student employees, the release said. Nearly 44,800 students were enrolled at the Seattle branch in 2014. A spokeswoman for Cascadia College, which shares the UW Bothell campus, said in a prepared statement they will not be raising their minimum wage to $15 an hour. “As a small community college, we operate under different employment rules, bargaining agreements and fiscal constraints,” the statement read.
In a recent news article, Andy Rheaume’s opponent characterized that he had a history of being on the losing end of 5-2 votes as a reason that she would be more qualified. In response to that rather glib comment, I would
tell Mr. Rheaume that he should continue to oppose any scandalous self-serving behavior by fellow council members that is not in the best interest of the residents of Bothell. Based on the primary results, where Mr. Rheaume received over 56 percent of the vote in a three-way race, I’d say Bothell residents concur wholeheartedly. So does the Seattle Times. In their endorsement of Mr. Rheaume, they pointed out that he had been a thoughtful leader since joining the council and that he has provided valuable perspective on projects like the City Hall development,which he opposed as to costly. He also opposed the parks and public spaces bond measure, arguing for investments to be spread more evenly around the city. Mr. Rheaume’s opponent, a close ally of Freed’s, publicly endorsed and supported the mayors outrageous action of secretly buying the Wayne Golf course property for his own development company rather than working to secure
Incoming Cascadia freshmen Gio Boff and Alex Arntson hope their college eventually follows UW. “There isn’t enough time in the work week to have enough money for personal and school costs,” Arntson said. “And having enough time to go to college,” said Boff. The UW Bothell decision marks the first time a major entity on the Eastside has opted to raise the minimum wage. The Seattle mayor and City Council approved a citywide plan to raise the minimum wage to $15 in June of last year, with wages rising to
$11 an hour last April during a graduated phase-in. Seattle’s decision was preceded by the city of SeaTac voting to raise wages in 2013. Other cities including Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C. and San Francisco have either passed $15 minimum wage laws, or are considering them. Hall hopes an increase in income will allow student employees to focus more on their studies. “It’ll help them, it will give them a little bit of a financial boost,” she said. “This will certainly enhance the student experience.”
Even though his outrageous venture to buy the golf course was exposed, by the public and the press, Ms. Gorc continued to support the mayor and his cronies. She apparently did not feel the need to preserve the trees, the wildlife, the environment and the open space. The City Council does not need another follower in the “behind the door dealings” of this council. We need a leader, that’s why I support Andy Rheaume.

and failed to gain the endorsement of those City Council members who dissented on seeking an appeal on this ruling.

Ottersburg is a clear choice
for Bothell City Council Tim Ottersburg a clear choice for City Council. He is an involved community member who will bring independence and integrity to the council. Bothell citizens are sick of insiders with conflicts of interest. James McNeal works in the homebuilding industry and is not independent when it comes to making decisions about growth and development. McNeal also lives
just a few doors down from a sitting member of the Bothell City Council – one neighborhood doesn’t need two members on the city council, especially when that neighborhood wants to spend millions of our tax dollars to buy land next to their homes. Bothell needs balance and independence on the City Council, and I believe Tim Ottersburg can deliver this.

When a family doesn’t have enough food, stability in other areas is impossible. Hopelink provides food for survival and nutrition education for self-sufficiency. The United Way Day of Caring makes a difference in the lives of the 1,100 families supported by the Kirkland Hopelink center. The 35 AT&T volunteers donated 250 pounds of food, sorted donations, restocked shelves, repackaged bulk product, organized, cleaned work spaces and more. As a result of the effort 38 totes of toys were inventoried in preparation for the Hopelink Food Bank Gift Room, 2,000 pounds of food were sorted, 600 pounds of pet food were bagged, one freezer of meat was sorted by species, two boxes of mangoes were bagged, one warehouse was swept and two pallets of goods were consolidated.

Training facility helps local firefighters prepare, bonds are sticking point to RFA BY AARON KUNKLE akunkle@bothell-reporter.com
On a misty Thursday morning, two area fire agencies met at the Northshore Fire Department training facility to hone their skills. As they scrambled up ladders, lowered dummies and cleared rooms, Woodinville Fire and Rescue recruits, clad in brown uniforms, drilled under the watchful eyes of senior firefighters on one side of the building. From around the parking lot, a Northshore fire engine pulled along the opposite side of the structure and department firefighters jumped out, running hoses to the second story balcony before throwing open a door and Local firefighters use the spraying down the interior.

Chief of Training Ron Wick. “It’s a tremendous facility.” Shoreline Fire Department Training Program Coordinator Rachel Garlini said her department works closely with Northshore and Bothell for training and emergency response. “One of the great things about Station 51 is they have live fire training capabilities,” she said. Shoreline’s training station doesn’t facilitate
live flame training, so her department runs these drills once a year at Northshore’s station. Northshore’s Station 51 was funded through $17 million in bonds approved by area voters in 2008. It cannot be refinanced until 2018. This has been a sticking point in RFA negotiations, though fire officials believe it will take until then to consolidate a fire authority.
Outside departments, which train at the facility, are charged for costs accrued while training, including water, fog machine costs and electricity used. “We definitely try to recoup those costs from the departments that are using it,” Sauer said. If these fees were not in place, Northshore residents would end up shouldering the financial cost of all the agencies training. If a RFA was formed, that cost would be diffused throughout the serviced region. “Collectively, we have the resources that individually we don’t,” Wick said. “You have efficiencies by pooling
your resources together.” Area agencies already respond to large fires or emergencies together. Wick said no single-area fire agency has the capability to take on a large structure fire on their own, so agency intercommunication and coordination are essential parts of their training. If a RFA was formed these practices would become even more unified, allowing shorter response times. A study session between the Bothell City Council and the Regional Fire Authority Planning Committee is scheduled for Oct. 13 to discuss the next steps in planning consolidation.

The motion also mandated the committee as a whole to begin establishing guiding principals moving forward. Woodinville Fire and Rescue Commissioner Roger Collins said despite setbacks negotiations are continuing, and Agnew said the issue could be presented to voters within two years. “There’s almost universal positive attitudes towards some form of regionalization,” Collins said. “Our focus is on a regional fire authority, but we are also looking at other alternatives to providing a regional model.” Torpin agreed with Collin’s sentiments, but said there was still a lot of work to do before the

approved by voters every six years. During recessions when property values drop, funding for government agencies like fire departments follow suit, fire officials said. “Financially, municipality fire departments are having a hard time just because their costs are going up and their revenue hasn’t, for the most part,” Agnew said. In 2007, the cities of Auburn, Pacific and Angola formed the first RFA in the state and adopted a fire service-charge model. This resulted in higher short-term rates, but Valley RFA Deputy Chief Mike Gerber believes the long-term cost savings have offset the initial buyin costs through eliminating redundant positions, freeing up city officials and resources and modernizing infrastructure and equipment. “Within a couple years, Auburn received better service in their jurisdiction,” he said. Two new fire stations were created in Auburn and another was remodeled; the city of Pacific was immediately able to staff their stations around the clock when the regional fire authority was implemented, and with greater coverage emergency response times dropped dramatically, Gerber said. A study session between the Bothell City Council and the RFA planning committee was held last week as negotiations move forward.

“It’s just a lot of fun,” he said. While the event was free, participants who wanted to vote on the People’s Choice chili had to buy a vote for one dollar. They picked the Chocolate Chili by SBL Rentals. The coveted Burnt Spoon award, given to the best hot chili, was awarded to Hugg and Associates, named the Flamethrower.

ourteen teams of chili cooks and community members took part in the annual Chilifest and raised nearly $600 for local food bank Hopelink on Thursday night at the Evergreen-Washelli Funeral Home in Bothell. The event also raised 124 pounds of food for the food bank, which will provide about 357 meals. Both the total money and food raised during the event broke last year’s marks. Inside the ninth annual event, chefs were busy preparing their tables, stacking cups and laying out cornbread, crackers and kettle corn. “Food is kind of part of our culture,” said Sebastian Falcon, 26, as he manned the Evergreen Church booth. “It’s all about community.” Exotic chili names

Staying Connected Can Transform Seniors’ Health Q and A with Dr. Kevin O’Neil, Brookdale Chief Medical Officer Does loneliness affect seniors’ wellbeing? Yes, it can have a profound negative impact, both psychologically and physically. Loneliness among seniors can lead to debilitating depression, high blood pressure, dementia and shorter life spans. Time and again, we see that when we can help them overcome loneliness, make new friends and feel part of a caring community again, seniors are transformed, with even their physical health improving. Why is it so detrimental? Social connections are vital for people of all ages because humans are wired, so to speak, as social beings. But research shows that emotional ties are even more important for seniors. At the same time, they are vulnerable to losing these bonds through the death of a spouse, grown children busy with their own lives and often far away, and long-time friends relocating to be near their own families. But these events shouldn’t just be accepted as something to endure as part of aging. They are losses that can have a substantial impact, leading to loneliness
that can and should be addressed in helping seniors live to their utmost capacity. What does Brookdale do to help seniors overcome loneliness? Brookdale is a true pioneer and innovator on this issue. Since our founding more than two decades ago, we have focused on providing what we call “Optimum Life.” Brookdale’s senior living communities go well beyond physical support. We involve our residents with new friends and engage them in meaningful programs that bring them together with others who share their interests. We help them learn communications technologies such as videochat to better connect them with family and longtime friends far away. This is why we say closer relationships live here every day. How can I find out more? To learn how Brookdale enriches lives, we invite you to visit. You can easily schedule a day and time through our website Brookdale.com or by calling 855-444-7658, which is toll-free. We look forward to seeing you.

Oftentimes patients don’t even correctly understand the meaning of the word “hypertension,” and think
pressure as the heart pumps blood out, and diastolic, the remaining pressure as the heart relaxes and refills with blood. Normal blood pressure ranges below 120 systolic and 80 diastolic. Readings of 120 to139 systolic or 80 to 89 diastolic are considered “pre-hypertension,” meaning there is a risk of developing hypertension without intervention. Everything above 140 over 90 is categorized as hypertension of various stages, with 180+ over 110+ seen as a medical emergency. Hypertension can build up for years without ever showing discernable symptoms. But left uncontrolled, it can lead to life-threatening complications like kidney disease and heart disease as well as heart attack and stroke. Hypertension is a growTimi Gustafson

Many healthcare professionals use the words “hypertension” and “high blood pressure” interchangeably when talking to their patients, which can be confusing for some, said Dr. Barbara Bokhour, a professor of health policy and management at Boston University School of Public Health and co-author of the study report, to Reuters.

The number of people living with the disease has crossed the 1 billion mark in 2008 and is predicted to reach well over 1.5 billion within the next ten years, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The causes are seen to a large degree as diet and lifestyle-related, including excessive consumption of salt and alcohol as well as excess weight and lack of physical activity. Against widely shared assumption, hypertension is not a disease that predominantly occurs with age. Recent studies found that young adults in their 20s and 30s are now increasingly at risk as well, facing complications much sooner than generations before them. For this reason it is extremely important to keep blood pressure as low as possible, especially in the first half of adult life, said Dr. Joao Lima, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University and lead author of one such study, ideally even below the recommended limits.

fter five years of preparation, construction and anticipation, the McMenamin’s Anderson School in Bothell held a pre-opening Tuesday night and will open its doors to the public this weekend. “It is just a very unique space,” said John VanDrak, during the pre-opening. “It’s going to be a great space for the community. The before and after is pretty dramatic.” The new business, which is the anchor for the redevelopment of downtown Bothell, was packed for the invitation-only event. “It is amazingly creative,” said Ann Aagaard about the photos and art on the walls, which include Bothell resident Sen. Patty Murray and Wilbert Anderson. McMeniman’s is an Oregon chain of iconic brewpubs/hotels which were started in 1974 by two brothers whose establish-
ments bear their namesake. Described as the largest project they’ve ever undertaken, the brothers Mike and Brian have been working on the 70-room hotel and entertainment complex since 2010. Anderson School features a restaurant, pub, movie theater, live-music space, spa, garden, pool and meeting room. “I like the little cozy nooks,” said Ann Williams, during the event. The nearly five-anda-half acre plot with the building was initially purchased for $7 million. “We are very excited about the McMenamins opening. It’s already bringing attention to Bothell, and it’s a big part of our downtown economic development,” said city of Bothell spokeswoman Barbara Ramey. “Having businesses come in, like McMenamins, will help the community and be a big benefit.” It includes the old Northshore Pool, which has been renovated and residents
can now use free of charge for 15 years pursuant to an agreement signed by the city and the McMenamin brothers. The Anderson School itself was built in 1931 and is an iconic landmark in downtown Bothell. Seattle-area favorites The Fresh Young Fellows will be breaking in McMenamin’s live venue tonight with their classic alternative rock. “We’re always excited to play, and more so these days since we don’t play that often,” said frontman Scott McCaughey. This show marks only their third this year for a band that’s been playing together since the mid-1980s. Despite starting in the Seattle area, McCaughey lives in Portland these days, and says it’s been a while since he’s been in Bothell. McCaughey said they’ve been to other McMenamins venues like the Edgefield or Crystal Ballroom and are excited to see what Bothell’s Anderson School will be like. The free show begins at 8 p.m. with the band Unlikely Friends opening, and The Fresh Young Fellows taking the stage at 9:30 p.m.

Environmentally friendly systems, such as constructing the building to let more light in during the winter and less in the summer, were implemented to reduce energy consumption. Four gender-neutral restrooms are also spread throughout the building. Only one window was installed on the building’s southern face to facilitate future expansion.

The district no longer administers the ITBS to all 2nd- and 6th-grade students. • Both the ITBS (December) and CogAT (January/February) will be administered at one grade level up from child’s current grade level as part of the highly capable assessment process for applicants in current grades 1-7. Eligibility for Services • The district Multidisciplinary Selection Team (MST) will review all available data to determine those students who are eligible for services. A matrix will no longer be used to determine qualification of students for
services in 2nd through 8th grade. • Parents will be notified of ITBS and CogAT scores in a single letter along with the MST’s determination of highly capable eligibility. The appeal process will also be outlined in the letter. More information about Highly Capable Programs as well as the application and nomination forms are available on the district website at www.nsd.org/ hicap.

Student input was key in designing all aspects of the building and not just the color scheme, said student director of the Activities and Recreation Center Evan Carman. “Students in the spring got a chance to really leave their mark on the building,” Carman said. A support beam’s surface in the lobby was left exposed and covered with the signatures of students who contributed to the building.

Comprised of three floors, a striking color palate selected by students dominates the building.

Judge goes beyond recommended sentence for driver in deadly crash
A
Woodinville man was sentenced to two years in prison, six months longer than the recommended sentence, for leaving the scene of a single-vehicle accident in Kirkland last September that left a Kenmore man, Kyle Reel, dead. Thomas Cushman Bird, II of Woodinville, 48, pled guilty in August to first degree vehicular homicide, second-degree vehicular assault and third-degree hit-and-run attended. He
was originally facing a potential sentence of 42 months in prison, but at his sentencing on Sept. 25 the judge handed down a 48-month sentence. Reel’s mother, Anita Reel, who attended Bird’s Sept. 25 sentencing, said afterwards Bird gave her and other members of Kyle’s family a dirty look. “I have never seen such a mean person in my whole life,” she said. “If looks could kill, his would have.” Although he has no prior felony convictions, prosecutors stated Bird has an extensive history of

the oncoming lane, left the roadway and crashed into a fence and up an embankment at Simonds Road Northeast and 92nd Avenue Northeast. The accident site is on the Kirkland and Kenmore boundary. The impact threw Reel, who had been sitting behind the driver’s seat, into the front of the car, causing him to suffer fatal injuries. When responding bystanders arrived they mistakenly believed he was the driver and pulled him out. Barely conscious from severe rib fractures, Zielinski told people that “Bird” had been driving, which police at the scene assumed was a nickname for Reel, the presumed driver. Bird left the scene of the accident immediately, despite suffering significant injuries, and walked

violating traffic laws going back to 1989, including negligent driving, reckless driving, hit-and-run attended and unattended and no valid operator’s license with valid identification (NVOL). The accident occurred late in the evening on Sept. 19 after Bird had been drinking at a local Kirkland casino with several friends, including Kenmore resident and Redmond High School graduate Kyle J. Reel and Dave “Beaver” Zielinski, one of the fisherman on the boat “Time Bandit,” featured on Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch. Then they left in a Porsche Bird borrowed from a friend. At around 10:45 p.m., police believe Cushman was going around 80 mph in a 35 mph zone when he lost control, crossed into

to Zielinski’s home three miles away. He was discovered there the next morning when a friend arrived to take care of Zielinski’s dogs. After explaining to her what had happened, Bird told the person not to contact the police or medics, according to prosecutor’s presentence report. It was then the police discovered that Reel was not the driver. Police were then informed that a Shoreline medic unit had responded to the Zielinski residence to treat Bird, who eventually was transported to Haborview Medical Center. Bird was found to have injuries that were consistent with that of a car accident, according to the medic supervisor who contacted the police. They also claimed Bird had admitted to the medics he had been driving the Porsche. As part of his guilty plea, Bird is prohibited from having any contact with Zielinski. The Reporter first became aware of the mistaken identity after it was contacted by Anita Reel, who insisted her son had not been behind the wheel and would not have driven while intoxicated.

officials, while maintaining that the crash was still under investigation, confirmed her claims that her son was not the driver. The blood alcohol level of Bird could not be confirmed by police. At the hospital, Kirkland police questioned Bird, who allegedly stopped speaking with them once he learned Reel had been killed. He was arrested and then released on his own recognizance. During the followup investigation, casino video footage showed Bird had consumed at least six alcoholic beverages at the Kirkland casino approximately between 8:05-10:17 p.m. The footage also showed Bird getting into the driver’s seat of the Porsche as it left the casino at around 10:34 p.m. After news got out about Reel’s death, friends and family have also left photos and flowers at the site of the crash. His celebration of life ceremony was held Sept. 28 at the VFW Hall in Redmond.

Kenmore, Burke-Gilman Trail becoming destination for craft beer lovers BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com
T
he Northshore area has a long history of thirsty patrons and entrepreneurs willing to roll the dice to try and satisfy them, a tradition which dates back to prohibition. Sitting in the 192 Brewing taproom along the BurkeGilman Trail in Kenmore last Friday, owner Derek Wyckoff said this part of the area’s history helped inspired him to set up shop. “I just started looking and knew I wanted to stay in Kenmore,” Wyckoff said. “The customers were so emphatic that we must pour beer at a tap room owned by us.” Wyckoff started brewing in 2006 out of his garage before eventually building a small, 192 square foot shed which still houses his brewing operation where he makes around 500 gallons, or only 15 barrels, a year. He joined only a handful of local breweries in 2007 and opening the taproom a couple years later, joining long-time area brewers Red Hook who have been operating out of Redmond since 1994. The 192 Brewing taproom serves only Washingtonproduced beer and wine,
Above, Derek Wyckoff stands on the Burke-Gilman Trail in front his business the 192 Brewing Co. in Kenmore. Right, Bill and Jen Boyd plan to open Cairn Brewery in Kenmore as well. AARON KUNKLER, Bothell Reporter with local promotion an issue Wyckoff said he feels strongly about in a highly competitive market. He relies on contracting with Lazy Boy in Everett for mass production while brewing the test batches on his own, but with large amounts of unused space in his current location, he’s looking toward the future brewing whiskey. “We’ll be expanding as soon as we can afford to with the distillery,” he said. Craft brewing has taken off in Washington over the
past few years, with the national Brewer’s Association in 2014 listing 256 small breweries in the state, second in number only to California. “It’s happening all over, in Spokane, Bellingham and Central Washington,” Washington Beer Commission Executive Director Eric Radovich said. “People are buying craft beer, it’s growing leaps and bounds and it’s mostly small breweries making small batches.” Radovich has a theory on craft beer’s popularity in Washington.
“It just plain tastes better. It’s more complex and I think given the Northwest, we have kind of a palate for something beyond the mainstream,” he said. “There’s a lot of foodies and coffee junkies, and I think craft beer kind of fits that mood.” The Kenmore City Council took note of this trend years ago, including it in their 2009 economic development strategy making the creation of a micro-brewery scene along the Burke-Gilman Trail a priority. “This is one of those times that reality has followed the policy,” said Kenmore Assistant City Manager Nancy Ousley. “I think a microbrewery is more in keeping with what I think of when I
think of Kenmore.” Sitting right next door is the newly opened Nine Yards Brewing, where co-owner Ethan Savaglio opened up the brewery earlier this year with two friends. It’s wideopen design houses a large wooden bar, a projector and also serves as their brewery. “When we first came in here, the place was pretty ratty,” Savaglio said. Nine Yards used to be various industrial and mechanical businesses, which took its toll on the building, requiring them to put in large amounts of time to fix it up. The location also had to be rezoned earlier this year by the Kenmore City Council for light industrial so Nine Yards could brew on the property. Savaglio said his taproom is primarily focused on midrange to low alcohol content beer, with most falling between four to six percent. “We really enjoy a wellbalanced beer,” he said. “We are essentially a session beer house.” Notably, Savaglio said they choose not to brew IPA style beers, noted for their bitter, hoppy tastes and high alcohol content. Session beer generally has lower alcohol content, allowing those who
drink it to monitor their intoxication easier, he said. “We are very much focused on creating a community space, that’s the kind of pace we want to foster,” said Savaglio. Another block down on 73rd Avenue Northeast, Bill and Jen Boyd were hard at work renovating the soonto-be Cairn Brewery in Kenmore’s business incubator, a building owned by the city which offers start-ups cheap rent to get them on their feet. “I’ve been home brewing for years just as a hobby, a passion,” Bill Boyd said. They said their permits are all in order, and they’re tentatively shooting for a February opening once their industrial brewing equipment arrives. Like the other brewery owners along Burke-Gilman Trail, they are excited about offering bikers and walkers a place to rest and enjoy a beer. “We really wanted to be on an urban trail, that was really important to us,” Jen Boyd said. “We very much see the brewery as being a very social atmosphere, we really appreciate that aspect of it,” Bill Boyd said.

Cancer survivor opens bookstore in Bothell BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com
After winning a six-and-ahalf year battle with cancer, Bothell resident Annie Carl is taking another leap of faith and opening her own used book store. Standing amid piles of books and wood in her store at the Logdon Building in downtown Bothell, the 31-year-old makes no secret of the role books have played in her life, starting from before she was born when her mother would read to her. “She would read just out loud to her pregnant belly,” Carl said smiling. “We were in a house full of books. My parents were both avid readers.” Originally from Kingston, she started working in Mr. B’s Bookery at 15, where she was paid in books until being hired on a year later. She worked there through her college days until she graduated with a bachelors degree in journalism from Western Washington University. “My family and I had kind of become a part of their extended family,” she said. In 2008 she was diagnosed with stage-four nonHodgkins lymphoma. After months of chemotherapy

Bothell Resident Annie Carl decided to open a used book store in downtown Bothell after beating cancer. AARON KUNKLER, Bothell Reporter
and radiation, her cancer was sent into remission, and in 2014 she learned she was cancer free. After her more than sixyear battle with cancer, Carl said she was ready to turn a new page. “At this point in my life, it’s like I’ve gotta give this a shot, because why not?” she said. Her shop, The Neverending Bookshop is set to open
Oct. 24, with a wide variety of used books. Carl said she’s especially excited about the kids corner where her friend will be painting a mural. As for Carl, she’s a science fiction junkie. “I could converse for hours about all things nerdy,” she said. She’s also participated in the National Novel Writing Month during November for
the past seven years, writing more than 50,000 words for each draft. Carl said she’s trying to avoid loans and set up a gofundme account to get the business off the ground. To donate, visit https://www. gofundme.com/ub59cjzk. The Logsdon Building is located in downtown Bothell at 10123 Main Place.
The local Kenmore chapter of the nonprofit organization Hugs for Ghana, administrated by six Inglemoor High School students, will be hosting its first 5K run on Nov. 14. The 5K race will begin and end at Saint Edward State Park in Kenmore at 10 a.m., regardless of weather conditions. This event will raise money to help underprivileged youth in Ghana access opportunities and resources for their future. In honor of the unwavering hope and driven tenacity of the Ghanaian youth, the race will be spiritthemed. Participants are encouraged to dress in spirit gear in support of any cause or organization they believe in. Registration
is currently available on the Kenmore Hugs for Ghana website; participant fees will cost $25 until Oct. 31, $30 until Nov. 14 and $35 on the day of the race. The Spirit 5K is open to runners of all levels and ages. Participants will receive an event t-shirt, bag, food and beverages. Parking spots are available at Saint Edward State Park but will be valid only with a Discover Pass, which can be purchased on-site for $10 for one day or $30 for one year. Kenmore Hugs for Ghana is a chapter of a student-led nonprofit organization known as Hugs for Ghana and is led by six high school students. Its mission is to share hope, love, and confidence with Ghana’s youngest citizens through creative grassroots projects and item donations so that in the future, these youth can positively contribute to their own communities.
