City of Kenmore passes business registration ordinance

BY MATT PHELPS

mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

The Kenmore City Council spent nearly two hours hearing public comment and debating the merits of a business registry during an April

22 council meeting. It was the second time this year the council has raised the issue following changes made by city staff.

The debate, time spent and two votes are indicative of the difficulty the city has had

in an attempt to organize the business community during the past decade.

The city does not have a Chamber of Commerce.

Kenmore is one of just five cities in King and Snohomish counties that doesn’t have a

general business registration or licensing requirement until now.

After the lengthy deliberation and changing viewpoints, the council voted 4-2 to form a business registry.

Businesses will be required

to register with the city and pay $25, which will go into an account to help local businesses. The amount that business will have to pay is not specifically identified in the ordinance.

The idea for the business

registry came from the 2009 Economic Development Strategy. A business registration program is also included as a work objective in the adopted biennial budget.

Estranged Bothell husband to move into murdered wife’s home Only person of interest in woman’s death plans to fight for kids, gives neighbors uneasy feeling mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

A memorial to Bothell resident Susann Smith sits in the driveway of her

home. The same home her body was found on Feb. 12.

A potted plant, wilting flowers and a couple of soaked greeting cards were pushed to one side of the

driveway, when a cleaning crew arrived with their van on Friday. The crew was there to scrub the Bothell mother’s blood from the carpet and walls.

the registry for economic development and the benefit of the business community, according to Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey. The city is looking for clear data on how many and what type of businesses are in Kenmore in an effort to build and tailor its economic development efforts.

“The registry piggybacks on the states’ registration ...,” said Karlinsey. “We join (53) other cities in King County and Snohomish County to

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com require a business to register.”

The ordinance proposes that the city work with the Washington Department of Revenue’s Master Business License program.

The state will get $15 for processing and $10 will go to the city. Nonprofits will pay just the state portion.

The biggest benefit for businesses is a city wide directory for the public and city to use.

“The city has been one of the most enthusiastic champions for helping the business community get organized,”

said Karlinsey. “For example, I have been attending and offering support for the fledgling Kenmore Business Alliance. A business registration program will provide even more help toward helping the business community get organized and speak with one voice.”

But some business owners are unhappy about what they will get for their money.

“I still have some concerns about this,” said Carl Michelman, who owns Michelman Insurance Group, Inc. in Kenmore and has tried to get

the Kenmore Business Alliance off the ground with the city. “I have received emails from businesses and the tone is that they are not happy about it.

“I am trying to figure out how we get businesses to buy-in but the verbiage is the biggest thing.”Michelman said the words “fee,” “requirement” and “infraction,” are part of the issue in the ordinance.

The infraction would be for businesses that fail to register and pay the fee.

But there is no enforcement mechanism in the ordinance for the infraction.

In all, six residents spoke during the public hearing.

Another speaker, Pat O’Brien, noted that most

people just use Google to find a business, not a directory.

Krista Michelman said whether it is deserving or not, many businesses have a negative view of the city.

“I don’t like the whole fine thing,” said Krista Michelman. “… I think you can work harder and come up with a better plan … you need better incentives.”

Most wanted more for the money than just the directory. Krista Michelman suggested a booth at a citysponsored event during the year or the use of a meeting room at City Hall.

Another issue was how long it would take to get the directory out. The original idea was to wait a year after implementation to produce

the directory so all the businesses could be included. But many wanted an immediate online directory where businesses could be added in real time.

The comments changed many minds on the council.

“One of the consistent themes was what is the value to the businesses that are going to be paying this and the value is not clear to me,” said Deputy Mayor Bob Hensel.

Others were concerned about the requirement portion of the ordinance.

“Do we want to get business involved because we have an ordinance in place or because businesses want to get together,” said Councilman Glenn Rogers.Karlinsey could not hold back his frustration with the council.

“I am a little discouraged, because we worked really hard on this and we thought we were doing what you wanted us to do,” said Karlinsey. “For us to prolong this, and in the Deputy Mayor’s words ‘fine tune’ this, I don’t know what to do other than fundamentally change what we are proposing to make it acceptable to you. We have made it about as pure of a registration program as you can get. To tell you the truth Kenmore businesses are not that organized.”

Powells in Utah. Josh Powell was named a person of interest in his wife’s disappearance.

Child Protective Services came under fire after Powell was given visitation and ultimately committed suicide and killed his two young sons.

The Smith children, ages 6 and 3, have been under the supervision of Child Protective Services since February.

Neighbors said that children where the kids went to school have been writing them cards: “Those cards have to be taken to CPS to get them to the kids.”

A CPS spokesperson could not talk specifically about the case.

“Until or unless the parent or guardian has been charged

with abuse or neglect we can’t discuss the whereabouts with the media,” said Washington State Department of Social and Health Services spokesman Thomas Shatley. “The court makes the decision on placement. Our practices have to do with the safety and well being of the child.”

A memorial for Susann Smith was held a few weeks after her death at the church the family attended in Woodinville. The victim’s mother, father and sister from Germany attended the service, as well as Allan Smith, said neighbors.

“He never showed any emotion,” said one neighbor, who attended the service.

One neighbor said that she understands much of the evidence so far in search warrant documents is circumstantial.

Search warrant documents state that Allan Smith lied about cuts on his hands in the days after her body was found and that searches for “does Venezeula extradite to the United States” and tickets to South America for an adult and two children were found on his computer.

During the search of Allan Smith’s car, police also found a Home Depot bag with unopened Kleenguard chemical

for her safety. “The police have told us not to have any contact with him. I am very uncomfortable with him coming over here. To know that he is across the street is frustrating.”

Bothell police won’t talk about the active investigation other than to say that detectives are still working on the case.

“I do not have any additional information to provide regarding the case,” said Bothell police spokesman Sgt. Cedric Collins.

The Reporter spoke with four neighbors, none of whom would give their name for fear of their safety. All are tired of the entire situation.

“I don’t care to see him,” another neighbor said. “He doesn’t scare me, it is just knowing what happened over there.”

Other neighbors are stunned that anyone would want to live there knowing what happened.

“How could someone live in that house?” said another neighbor. “But we don’t know what to do. I don’t feel comfortable. I have seen him every day for the past three days.”

Neighbors also said that Allan Smith has already changed the locks on the home and Susann Smith’s vehicle was removed from the

premises. Another neighbor said via email that they saw sheet rock being removed from the home.

“I witnessed them take several bags of what appeared to me as being documents of some kind,” said the neighbor.

Police served their last search warrant in the case on Feb. 27, according to the South Snohomish County Superior Court.

Neighbors are also frustrated with the lack of information about the case from the Bothell Police Department.

The Reporter has received many emails from concerned readers requesting an update on the investigation.

“It has been very hard on all of us in the neighborhood,” a neighbor said. “It would be nice to find out what is happening.”

Allan Smith also allegedly told neighbors he plans to get his children back and move them back into the home where their mother was brutally murdered and found in the bathtub.

For one neighbor, the situation reminds her of the case of Susan Powell’s disappearance in 2009. Powell disappeared in Utah and her husband Josh Powell moved himself and two boys to Puyallup, Wash. The neighbor said that her daughter lived in the same community as the

Court did its job, Legislature should, too

W

e see some conservatives in our state are upset over what they see as “activism” by the state Supreme Court. Specifically, they’re peeved the court has ordered the Legislature to spend more money on education. At the same time, they’re upset the court has ruled that it only takes a simple majority for the Legislature to increase taxes.

Spending and collecting money, these lawmakers say, is the job of the Legislature.

Well, yes — and no.

Conservatives are correct that justices don’t write budgets or set tax rates. But it’s incorrect to say the courts don’t have a voice in making sure these functions are legally done.

Yes, the high court has told lawmakers the state needs to spend more money on education. But that’s because our state constitution says education is the “paramount duty” of the state. It’s hard to make the case the state is really doing that when the percent of the state budget spent on education goes down

and down each year.

Lawmakers could simply take sufficient money from other state programs and give it to schools to satisfy the judges. Of course, that wouldn’t leave much money to carry out other state functions, but, hey, the judges didn’t say the task would be easy.

Which brings up the second issue: the need for only a simple majority to do so.

The high court weighed in on the issue

when a lawsuit was brought challenging the requirement that raising taxes takes a twothirds vote of the Legislature. The judges said, according to the state constitution, that’s not so; it only takes a simple majority.

Some people might not like that, but in both cases, the judges were just doing their job — interpreting the state constitution.

The Legislature now should do its job and fix the problem.

Solar panel article did disservice to Kenmore community I am writing to comment on your recent article about the man who recently had to take down his solar array. I spoke with this man over a year ago and I know why he is in trouble. I have a solar-powered house and I know why he ran into problems. I am concerned that the Reporter did not properly research this article before it was published.

The standard process all people go through when they want to build a structure is they first must get a building permit, and have the structure inspected for safety.

Later, if they want to install solar they must get an electrical permit from the state Department of Labor and Industries. The homeowner in this article did not get a structural permit. Indeed he misrepresented that the building was going to be an “agricultural structure,” which it clearly is not. He did get the electrical permit, but the city was not concerned about the solar array, but rather the structure he placed it on.

So as you can see the issue was that the homeowner did not follow the usual steps. I think the article should serve as a lesson to us all to do some research before going solar. Instead your article implied that the man was being treated unfairly and I think the article did a disservice.

With that said, I am a general contractor, and I specialize in green

technology. I am a proud Kenmore resident, and as I mentioned before my home has been retrofitted with solar, and other green technology.

I am happy to be a resource for your paper in the future if you need technical advice about these issues.

More than 300 supporters of public education gathered at the Northshore Schools Foundation’s “Light A Fire For Learning” luncheon and raised more than $120,000 to support students and teachers across our district on March 28.

As an all-time high fundraising total for the luncheon—one of two major annual fundraising events for the foundation—these funds will go a long way towards fulfilling the foundation’s mission of “Making An Impact, Everyday.”

Since 1995, the Northshore Schools Foundation has partnered with the district to support, enhance and extend learning opportunities for our students and staff. Through investments in innovative classroom grants, teacher excellence, new curriculum, extended learning opportunities and, most recently, strategic investments in S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering and math) programs, the foundation positively impacts tens of thousands of Northshore students multiple times throughout their school career.

Bothell man sues city over First Amendment rights

BY MATT PHELPS

mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

A

Bothell police officer met resident James Barnhart at the doors of Bothell Municipal Court on Jan. 15.

Bothell Police Deputy Chief Henry Simon told him the council passed new rules for signage at meetings and that the signs he had brought into Bothell City Council meetings for years were no longer allowed.

Barnhart has since filed a federal lawsuit, claiming that city officials have infringed on his First Amendment rights. The lawsuit was filed in Seattle in federal court on April 3 by Barnhart’s lawyers at MacDonald, Hoague & Bayless.

“I want them to remove the change to the protocol,” said Barnhart. “I want to be able to go in with my signs. I understand it has to be within reason but two sheets of paper is not within reason.”

The city’s new protocol states that anyone who wishes to bring a sign into a city council meeting must hold it to two sheets of standard size notebook paper. The signs cannot contain otherwise inappropriate, slanderous, rude or boisterous language.

Anyone violating the new protocol is subject to removal, arrest and prosecution.

“It is an intimidation tactic to discourage people from speaking up,” said Barnhart, who has lived in Bothell for 20 years. “I spent years in the Airforce to protect our rights.

We all have to stand up for each other … I don’t think they anticipated what I would bring on.”

City of Bothell officials stand by the city’s policies in the face of the lawsuit.

“Mr. Barnhart has brought his allegations to federal court where they are currently in litigation,” said Bothell City Attorney Joe Beck in an email to the Reporter. “The city strongly believes that Mr. Barnhart’s legal claims are without merit and his complaint contains numerous factual inaccuracies. The city has acted appropriately and is vigorously defending against Mr. Barnhart’s claims.

It would be inappropriate for the city to try the claims or debate the facts with Mr. Barnhart in the media.”

Barnhart is not shy. He has a lot to say about his local municipality. For years he has brought signs to city council meetings to express his opinions about alleged corruption in the local government along

Bothell resident James Barnhart sits with his signs, one of which, center, is listed in a federal lawsuit that was filed against the City of Bothell. MATT PHELPS, Bothell Reporter with Mayor Mark Lamb’s conduct.

Beck has said that the provision is not a freedom of speech violation. Under state law and the Open Public Meetings Act, the council is required to hold open meetings and the public has the right to attend, but council meetings are not free speech forums, like a more traditional place, such as a public street.

But Barnhart’s lawyers disagree.

“Basically, the City of Bothell is saying it’s OK to bring a sign, but only if we like the message, and only if we can’t really read it because the signs are so small,” said

Joe Shaeffer, an attorney for MacDonald, Hoague & Bayless, who represents Barnhart, along with attorney David Whedbee.

The lawsuit states that the city selectively waited until Barnhart showed up with signs that government officials did not like to post the public comment notice that expressly bans the signs.

“Mr. Barnhart displays his signs by standing quietly in the back of the council chambers, holding his signs in front of him. He does not obstruct anyone’s view, does not talk out of turn, does not affix the signs to the walls, does not brandish the signs at anyone, and does not

otherwise disrupt the orderly progress of the meetings,” according to court documents.

Barnhart’s signs have to do with a myriad of topics. One is a re-elect Mark Lamb sign with a red circle and slash through it. Another states “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Others compare the Bothell Police Department and government to the Soviet Union.

But the sign that Barnhart says triggered the council’s new stance pertains to what he says is a lack of disciplinary action on a Bothell police officer. The sign reads: “Brady List: Cops that have been caught lying under oath.

Former Bothell cop Frank McCahill is on that list. He was also investigated for rape, carelessly discharging his firearm and violated 16 of 20 Bothell cop codes. Three of four captains recommended he be terminated but wasn’t (Arnold wasn’t available) :),” according to court documents.

Barnhart has also filed for an injunction to stop the new protocol until his federal lawsuit can be heard. In those documents Barnhart’s lawyers state that “A public disclosure request has revealed that Officer Valentino opened an investigation into Mr.

Barnhart’s speech activities at the behest of Officer McCahill, warned Mr. Barnhart that he might ‘find himself looking at charges or a civil law suit,’ and collected other officials’ statements about Mr. Barnhart’s speech activities on another occasion where he was displaying signs in public areas.”

Following the investigation, the council adopted the protocol.

But the lawsuit is more about having the right to speak his mind and not about the specific message, his attorneys say.

“The problem is, we live in a free society where our First Amendment requires that government sometimes has to put up with speech it doesn’t really like,” said Shaeffer.

The lawsuit also accuses the city of taking the action improperly in an executive session rather than in a general meeting, violating the Washington Open Meetings Act. Prior to the action, the city’s Protocol Manual had no language concerning signage during council meetings.

“I was watching C-SPAN and there was someone in the audience with a sign there [ U.S. Congress],” Barnhart noted.

The Can Do 5/10K run and walk celebrated its fifth anniversary Saturday with more than 1,100 participating. MATT PHELPS, Bothell Reporter

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

The Can Do 5/10K run and walk celebrated its fifth anniversary on Saturday, as more than 1,000 area residents took to Bothell streets to support special needs organizations for kids and their families.

“It is empowering to know that we are helping our community,” said this year’s event co-director Natalia Bynum.

“This is our community. We are all participating and it is very inclusive.”

The race played host to 1,129 runners and walkers this year with most participants there to support the special needs community.

Most of the volunteers are a part of the organization Northwest Special Families (NSF). All proceeds benefit NSF and other organizations that support special needs kids. The Northshore YMCA and Center for Human Ser-

vices are organizing sponsors of the event.

“All of these kids are faced with limitations, and with this race, we want to show what they Can Do,” said Bynum.

Many of the racers have children, or know someone who has a child, with special needs. Participants traveled from near and far to show their support and get some exercise.

“I wanted to support a co-worker of mine who has a son with autism,” said Megan Siler of Everett, competing in her first race. “This event is really cool because it is nice to see the support from the community.”

It was also Bothell resident Joyce Hays’ first time taking part in a race.

“It seemed pretty low key and I wanted to run a race before I was too old,” joked Hays. “And it is for a good cause.”

Diane Jacoby, who works for the Northshore YMCA, was competing in her third Can Do and brought her husband James and father Steve Chase.

“I have taught many of the

kids out here swim lessons and it is very inspiring to see these kids raising money for special needs families,” she said.

For Chase, who said he is a “recovering couch potato,” it was an opportunity to give back to community and get exercise.

“It is my dad’s first race and it is a flat course,” said Diane Jacoby. “I think more people are able to do the course because of that. And it is at a good time of the year.”

The rain clouds held off as northbound lanes of 120th Avenue Northeast filled with runners, walkers, dogs and baby strollers at 8:30 a.m.

Entire teams of Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts volunteered to help with the race’s organization and 24 Starbucks employees also volunteered.

Many Bothell businesses have made it a tradition to support the event through volunteering or with monetary support.

Although the total funds raised won’t be known for a couple of weeks, last year the event raised $30,000 for special needs organizations, with 1,400 turning out for the event.

“It has really grown during the past four years and we have had fabulous support,” said Bynum. “We are looking to meet or top last year’s total (for funds raised).”

and changing, and it’s often the time that mental health issues begin to emerge. One in every five young people suffers from mental health issues at any given time.

Unfortunately an estimated two-thirds of them are not receiving the help they need.

Many kids are also dealing with being bullied, sometimes every day. Bullying is not a new problem, but with the internet, we’re seeing it take different forms and escalate to the point that the young people who have been bullied commit suicide, as happened just recently with an Issaquah teen. Sometimes the bullying takes the form of social isolation, other times it may be physical or verbal.

And sometimes it occurs in texts or via social media sites.

Kids who are bullied don’t enjoy school, and many suffer with the effects of bullying well into adulthood. Parents should check in with their children and ask specifically about bullying. Do they know at least one adult at their school they could talk to if they or a friend was being bullied? If not, help them consider who that might be.

Also advise children to avoid bullies and try to stick with a friend at recess, on the bus, or [ more TEENS page 9 ]

at the Bothell High School tennis courts.

Stress comes from a lifestyle of always being connected, problems at school, over achieving expectations from parents, and a rigorous academic load. The important thing is for kids to learn ways to de-stress with music, exercise and down time.

Depression is also a major issue among kids today and likely at the root of the increases in teen suicides seen in the area over the past year. In the Healthy Youth Survey, taken by students in all public schools across the state, 23 percent of local 8th, 10th and 12th graders have felt depressed in the past year. It’s most alarming that 14 percent seriously contemplated suicide. The best thing for kids who are depressed is professional help.

Another problem many of our young people are dealing with is teen dating violence. In a recent survey nearly one in 10 teens reported they had been physically abused by a romantic partner in the past 12 months. In another survey, more than 80 percent reported emotional abuse.

And one in four reported being threatened or harassed online or using texts.

These issues are happening in our neighborhoods to our kids. The best thing you can do as an adult is to engage with kids. Building relationships will help you know what’s going on in your child’s life and enable you to spot early signs of problems—like ongoing sadness, changes in eating or sleeping patterns, or a loss of interest in activities or school.

There is no shame in asking for help. People can thrive if they are given the right tools and support— even those who have suffered emotional wounds or face mental health challenges. And when youth confront and successfully deal

City records inconclusive whether tax dollars paid for mistress to stay with Mayor Lamb on 2012 trip

By Matt Phelps mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

It is unclear whether

Bothell Mayor Mark Lamb used tax dollars to pay for his mistress to stay with him during a trip to

Olympia for city business in 2012, according to city records obtained by the Reporter through a public

records request.

Micaela Mae filed suit against Lamb in October for wrongful termination and invasion of privacy but the case was dropped on March 27. It is unclear if the suit was settled out of court.

But Mae stated in court documents that the two attended city business in Olympia together while in the midst of their affair. The affair, which Lamb admitted to, took place from January 2010 to the spring of 2012, according to court documents.

Records show that the city paid for one room for Lamb’s stay in 2011 and 2012 for the an Association of Washington Cities Action Conference in Olympia.

The Reporter requested the documents in November of 2012 after the lawsuit was filed. Clarification of what records were requested added to the delay of the records request being fulfilled.

A letter from the Olympia Red Lion Hotel to the city was the only record stating that only one adult was registered to stay in the room during the 2011 trip

to Olympia for the AWC Action Conference. But their was no specific record of how many adults stayed in Lamb’s room during the 2012 conference.

A city of Bothell memo states that a city official accidentally reserved the rooms for those staying at the hotel for two nights in 2012. It is unclear if any of the rooms were used both nights but the hotel did refuse to reimburse the city for all but one of the rooms, used by Deputy City Manager Steve Anderson, for the second night.

“At the time, I asked her to make the hotel reservations for Tuesday and Wednesday nights, not knowing when people would need to travel to Olympia,”the memo from Bothell Executive Assistant Catherine Jansen states. “These reservations were never modified, even though council and staff members did not travel to Olympia until Wednesday, and the city was charged for the night not used.”

Although unspecified in court documents, the 2012

conference is the most likely that Mae allegedly stayed with Lamb at the hotel that the city paid for.

Court documents state that Mae stayed with Lamb while employed as an intern with his law firm. Mae was employed with the law firm in 2012. The cost of the single room with queen beds is essentially the same per night for the 2011 stay as the 2012 stay and reimbursement for Lamb’s food was for just one person during both trips.

Mae and the mayor’s relationship began in 2010 when the woman was working at a restaurant in Bothell. According to court documents, Lamb and another unidentified member of the Bothell City Council ate dinner at Masala when Lamb allegedly met and obtained Mae’s phone number.

The off and on relationship lasted for two years and culminated in Mae’s employment at the law firm and eventual termination.

Both parties have refused to comment on the dismissal of the case or a possible out-of-court settlement.

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com a gold medal in Mexico City as the Team USA coach for the Pan American Team of 1975. It also earned him a big win over UCLA rival coach and friend John Wooden.

A man of integrity and humility, Harshman lived by his famous “3 R’s” – Respect, Responsibility and Readiness, which he also taught his teams. He stressed the importance of players conducting themselves in an upstanding manner both on and off the court.

Harshman took most pride in his role as teacher, showing players not only “how” to perform a task, but also teaching them the “why” and “when.”

A natural athlete, he also coached football, baseball and track at PLU, and became their athletic director.

Of his many awards, Harshman became the 35th coach inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) honored him as the NCAA Division I Coach of the Year in 1984.

Additional honors included the Pac-10 Hall of Champions in 2003, first recipient of John Wooden’s “Keys to Life” Award and the first Royal Brougham “Legends” Award at the Seattle Sports Star of the Year ceremony. More honors included induction into 15 halls of fame and two alumni awards from PLU, including their Distinguished Alumnus Award.

Harshman, the ultimate

bookworm and world traveler, could converse on any subject from chopping wood to history and geography.

Although he loved Dorothy’s pumpkin pie and homemade Swedish rye bread, he also made his own jam from raspberries and strawberries grown in their Bothell backyard.

Harshman was born on Oct. 4, 1917 and was raised during the Depression in Lake Stevens, Wash. He once said, “The Depression was difficult, but as I look back, I realize we learned some good basic lessons – to use our initiative to be more creative, and best of all, to learn to appreciate the things we have.”

As his friend, Jill Reich said, “Harsh had a good heart and loved people … The world would be an incredibly wonderful place if it were filled with Marv Harshmans.”

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 11 at the Marv Harshman Court at the University of Washington Hec Edmundson Pavilion.

In memory of Marv and Dorothy Harshman, donations can be made to: The Marv and Dorothy Harshman Endowment Scholarship Fund at PLU; Marv Harshman Scholarship Fund at the UW College of Education; Marv Harshman Men’s Basketball Scholarship Endowment at the UW; or Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Shoreline.

Company, volunteers help hoarder clean home

T

wo big trash containers sat in front of a blue house in Kenmore. About a dozen people moved in and out of the house, hauling out old, rotten stuff and tossing it into the containers. This was a very special Saturday morning for Sherry, the 72-year-old owner of the house who didn’t want to reveal her last name.

Sherry has been a hoarder for more than a decade.

Hoarding is a condition in which people excessively collect items without discarding them, eventually overstuffing a house. Hoarding can lead to dangerous situations by blocking hallways in an emergency and can make a hoarder unable to sustain a normal, healthy life by occupying necessary living spaces, even the shower and the kitchen.

Sherry started hoarding when she became sick. She was diagnosed with the Epstein Barr virus, chronic fatigue, diabetes and arthritis. The illnesses dragged her life down: She wasn’t able to go outside, have a social life or move freely. Then stuff started to pile up, and she had no energy to clean it up.

“I haven’t invited people to this house since 2001,” Sherry said.

No one helped Sherry for more than a decade, nor did Sherry ask for help because she felt ashamed

You have to build a close relationship with a client,” Martinez said.

The social workers at the site — Michael Lillie and Rachel Wyda — work for a nonprofit called Hoarding Task Force. They said hoarders do not receive adequate medical and government assistance because hoarding is not yet considered a medical diagnosis, and government departments have different standards about hoarding.

Most of the help for hoarders comes from nonprofit or community-based groups.

By the evening, the cleanup had made great progress, but it wasn’t completely done because there were too many items to be organized in a single day.

“I’m much more comfortable and I am terribly relieved that I won’t have to panic when somebody knocks on the door,” said Sherry.

Martinez said she may offer the free cleaning service for a hoarder next year, but not anytime soon.

“The nice thing is everybody here is volunteering their time and it’s a good sense of community,” said Tracey Dahms, a worker at Bio Clean.

Milk bottles with the spe-

cial label will be provided for local businesses to place at cash registers, on counters or in offices to collect spare change to donate to help the over 180 homeless children in the Northshore School District.

Funds are used to buy school clothes, schools supplies and books as well yearbooks, school pictures and pay test fees as well as other school related costs.

This year, the Windermere Foundation will be doubling all donations up to $3,000.

There are five openings for parents/community representatives on each 15-member task force. Applications are due to the NSD Communications Department by Friday, May 24, 2013.

Task force membership includes five parent/community representatives as well as five administrator and five teacher/classified representatives.
