City responds to Kenmore man’s court appeal over solar panels

T

he city of Kenmore contends that a local man, who the city ordered to take down his solar panels in January, misrepresented his structure as an arbor for grape vines and failed to obtain a permit for the unsafe structure.

Patrick O’Brien, who is running for Kenmore City Council, filed an appeal in February in King County Superior Court over the decision, claiming the issue is about local jurisdictions “taking control” of green energy. He claims the Hearing Examiner, which upheld the city’s decision, erred in its ruling because the city

does not have an ordinance that deals with the use and installation of solar panels.

Rosemary A. Larson, attorney for the city, filed a response on July 8 to O’Brien’s appeal, denying that the Hearing Examiner’s decision requiring O’Brien to take down his solar panels was erroneous.

Three years ago O’Brien

built a structure by installing four wooden piers into his driveway and placing a 20-panel solar array on top.

His solar panels became an issue in 2010 when the city received a complaint that there was an un-permitted arbor on O’Brien’s property. The city’s code compliance officer came out to his house and observed

the solar panels on the structure.

O’Brien had initially told the city he was constructing an arbor for grape vines when he applied for a building permit. However, he did not inform the city that he intended to place solar panels or any other covering on the arbor, the court documents state.

According to city code and state law, any alteration to a structure also requires a building permit.

“The panels are a structural modification to an arbor that requires city review to determine if the panels are safely installed …,” said the Hearing Examiner in his Jan. 19 [ more COURT page 3 ]

In the city’s response, Larson noted that although O’Brien obtained a permit for a grape arbor, “he either never intended to construct only an arbor or he altered the arbor by attaching the solar panels to the support posts. In either event, he must apply for a building permit for that work.”

O’Brien argued that the city cannot apply its permit requirement to solar panel structures because the building code is not specific to solar panel structures. He also claimed he followed the state’s requirements and process for such structures.

NSD receives school bus inspection results

The Northshore School District, in partnership with the Northshore Human Services Consortium, Northshore Family Center, Northshore Baptist Church, Eastside Foursquare Church and other human service organizations, will hold its annual Back to School Fair from 4-6:30 p.m. Aug. 14 at

Northshore School District’s transportation department received exceptional results from the Washington State Patrol’s annual inspection of Northshore’s bus fleet.

Once a year, state patrol performs an unannounced 100 percent inspection of the district’s bus and motor pool fleet. According to the state patrol, the results of Northshore’s inspections have been outstanding during the past two years.

“One hundred percent of our buses and most passenger vehicles were inspected,” said Connie Noll, NSD transportation manager. “All vehicles have thousands of moving parts and if there are any worn parts, the repair must be completed before the Washington State Patrol vehicle sticker to transport passengers is issued. Our drivers and mechanics work as a team through the year and always achieve outstanding inspection results.”

code “requires that a building permit be obtained for construction or alteration of any structure, and no exemption applies to solar panel supports,” court documents continue.

O’Brien also claimed the city’s building permit fee for his solar panel structure is an improper tax.

However, Larson said state laws exempt installation of certain solar panels from state sales and use tax - not from building permit fees. She continues that the city’s building permit fee is a valid regulatory fee.

In addition, O’Brien contended that the city discriminated against him when it required him to obtain a building permit for his solar panel structure.

He said at least one property owner in Kenmore may have installed solar panels without obtaining a

permit.

“However, … code enforcement in the city is generally driven by citizen complaints,” according to the city’s response. “The fact that one person may be in violation of the city code does not mean that the city’s application of the permit requirement to [O’Brien’s] structure is an equal protection violation.”

The court appeal also addresses a second code violation on O’Brien’s property relating to a retaining wall that could also be unsafe.

O’Brien seeks to reverse the city’s decision to have him take down his solar panels and obtain a building permit. He also seeks an award of attorneys’ fees and any further relief the court deems necessary.

The court is expected to make a decision on the appeal Aug. 5.

Why your opinions matter

I

remember the night I stood at the Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan and looked up at my command ship, the USS Blue Ridge, or what we seamen referred to as “The Blue Cruiser.”

I was a young recruit right out of boot camp and had just returned from an evening exploring the train system and the city of Zushi.

The light from inside the ship glimmered.

I drew a deep breath.

“I’m in the United States Navy,” I thought, feeling an overwhelming sense of pride in myself - and for my country.

I have often thought back to that moment - that life-changing second when you realize you are doing something important.

For many of us veterans, that moment is understanding that you are bravely answering the call of your country to uphold the freedom that those before us fought for.

Years later, as a salty editor, I am tasked again with protecting one of those freedoms - our freedom of speech.

The Bothell-Kenmore Reporter published a cartoon on Aug. 19 about the U.S. Navy and Seafair activities, with a girl saying, “So, what do we need the stupid old Navy for, anyway?”

Several in the community called me, sent emails and letters to express their outrage over the cartoon.

Bothell resident John Darracott, a retired U.S. Marine Corps major, sent a letter (below) urging the Reporter to “think deep” about what that cartoon said.

As a veteran myself, I can understand how the cartoon may have offended some people.

We need the military because our country could not exist as it is without our soldiers and veterans.

But our country also would not be the

United States without democracy - the form of government in which all citizens participate equally. Democracy gives voters the capacity to participate freely and allows citizens an equal say in decisions that affect their lives.

To function, a democracy must have free expression and educated criticism.

As one of America’s founding fathers Thomas Jefferson once said, “A democracy cannot be both ignorant and free.” He also said the basis of our government is the “opinion of the people.”

The Reporter’s opinion page serves as a platform for the community to share their opinions, through letters to the editor, guest commentary and cartoons. The aforesaid forms of expression are all based on people’s opinions.

Thanks to Kenmore Mayor for helping with rude bicyclists I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation to Kenmore Mayor David Baker for helping me solve our problem in regards to the parking of neighboring cars in front of our mailbox.

I also wanted to thank him for his tip to avoid the “rude and inconsiderate bicyclists” when walking along the trail. It did help us but we are still having problems with the bicyclists who

still think they own the road/ trail.

I think there should be a law against these people because they don’t follow the rules and get away with it. For example, these bicyclists cross the street or turn with green traffic lights.

If cars ever hit the bicyclists, then it is the other party’s fault, not the bicyclists. No offense meant to some, but in general the bicyclists are all rude and very inconsiderate. Just two days ago, I was almost hit by bicyclists. I was already almost at the edge of the trail, but they still passed by me speeding and too close without saying anything. I hope something is done to avoid accidents and so something really bad does not happen.

Again, my appreciation and gratefulness to the Mayor of Kenmore.

arrin Paul knew the filly was special from the start.

Bought at the Washington Thoroughbred Breeders and Owner’s Association Yearling Sale in 2008, Cathy Z’s Hope, or simply Hope, however, would prove to be more than special.

Despite a shortened three-session career on the track at Emerald Downs, Hope would become one of the most inspirational horses ever to race at the Auburn track.

“This one has an amazing story,” Paul said.

Paul, a breeder and owner based in Bothell, bought Hope less than a year after his mother-in-law, Catherine Zoe DeMatteis, lost her 10-year battle with ovarian cancer and died on June 10, 2007.

“I thought it might be a good idea to name the horse after her,” Paul said of DeMatteis, the mother of Paul’s wife, Tracie. “And hope is the slogan or mantra of the Ovarian Cancer Foundation. We decided we would donate a portion of her earnings to the Marsha Rivkin Center (for Ovarian Cancer Research in Seattle).”

Initially, Hope – trained

by Frank Lucarelli – appeared ready to make a splash at the track.

“Then in 2009 during training, she developed pleuropneumonia and a collapsed lung,” Paul said.

“She was given a very slim prognosis to survive.”

Hope was moved from Paul’s ranch to the Pilchuck Veterinary Equine Hospital in Snohomish and placed under the care of Dr. Wendy Mollat to treat the lifethreatening inflammation of the lining surrounding the lungs.

“The doctors gave her a 50-50 chance,” Paul said. “It was a difficult time. Here was this symbol of my wife’s mother that was going to help us with the healing process. I felt like the biggest schmuck. Why couldn’t I have named her Spot or something?”

Hope proved resilient, and on April 21 – DeMatteis’ birthday – Paul got good news.

“She took a turn for the better,” he said. “It was a 60day process to get her better, and after the Fourth of July she came back and resumed the normal life of a horse.”

Initially, Paul said, he didn’t think Hope would ever be able to race again.

“I figured she wouldn’t be good for racing because of the collapsed lung but that she would potentially make a good brood mare,” Paul said.

Despite his doubts, however, Paul turned Hope over to Lucarelli to prepare her for the track.

“We just took it slow,” Paul said. “I kept expecting the call that she wasn’t going to make it. But she loved it.

She loved to run. She would drag the riders to the track.”

The Environmental Protection Agency announced today its selection of academic partners for the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) University Challenge, a project designed to find innovative ways to increase public awareness of toxic chemical releases in their communities and around the country.

The University of Washington Bothell is among the eight partners the agency selected.

“For more than 25 years, EPA has gathered critical environmental data to provide communities with information that empowers them to protect their air, water and land,” said Renee Wynn, acting assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Environmental Information.

“Through the TRI University Challenge, we hope to raise student awareness of environmental data and programs while improving research on our environmental challenges to further our work to protect Americans’ health and the environment.”

TRI provides communities with information about toxic chemical releases to air, water and land, and helps industry, the public, government and non-governmental organizations make more informed decisions to protect their health and environment.

Through these partnerships, EPA will work with eight diverse academic institutions to develop practical and replicable projects focused on pollution prevention, sustainability, community engagement and technology for improving the presentation and understanding of TRI data.

The TRI University Challenge is open to anyone connected with an accredited college or university and project timelines are flexible.

The selected projects were proposed by faculty and students from UW Bothell, as well as seven other universi-

Cathy Z’s Hope is owned by Bothell resident Darrin Paul. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO In June 2010 Hope took to the track for the first time, three years after the death of her namesake.

“It’s pretty amazing that she had the perseverance to fight through and live,” Paul said. “It was a victory of sorts for her just to have her on the track and racing.”

In her first outing, Hope ran a strong race, finishing third.

Then Paul and Lucarelli decided to start running the horse in mile events.

“It was amazing because we started running her a mile in her next 12 of 14 races and she ran second or better,” Paul said. “She’s the only horse that I’m aware of that has come back from something like that and raced.”

Before Hope’s retirement last season, Paul said he invited some of DeMatteis’ family and friends down to watch Hope run.

“We also had some of the people from the Rivkin

Center come down and watch,” Paul said. “There was a lot of energy around.

She ended up winning.

It was a very special and emotional time for a lot of people.”

Now Hope is retired and set to produce the next generation of Thoroughbreds.

“She’s actually in foal to Stevie Wonderboy, the winner of the 2005 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile,” Paul said.

He added that any offspring of Hope that makes it to the track will also race to raise money for the Rivkin Center.

“It was just such a wonderful experience, we’ve pledged that we’ll continue it,” Paul said. “We never could have imagined the heartfelt parallels with Cathy and Hope’s unrelenting will to live. None of us thought she would ever race with all the lung damage she had, but sometimes the unexplained reinforces the faith to never give up.”

State Sen. Andy Hill presented a symbolic check for $750,000 to local little leaguers for improvements to the Northshore Athletic Fields on July 25.

Accepting the check was Helen Jackson, President of the Woodinville Little League, King County Parks Director Kevin Brown and King County Councilmember Jane Hague.

The funding is a grant from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office and will cover needed improvements at the fields, including restroom facilities, equipment storage, handicapped access, batting cages, a concessions stand, and field improvements. The ball fields are managed under a public/ private partnership with King County Parks.

“Thank you Senator Hill for all your help on behalf of the children of our community,” said Jackson. “This allows us to make our vision for this park a reality.”

“This is about the kids and a great example of the community, county and state working together to provide for their needs in these challenging times,” said Hague.

The improvements will start immediately and are expected to be completed in the next two years.

study because they were the most commonly mentioned and they had all been well researched. It’s likely that those who have experienced other types of toxic stress over months or years would also face a greater risk of health consequences.

The more adverse childhood experiences a child has, and the longer the exposure to stress, the greater the risk for problems throughout life.

Behavior problems defined in the study include substance abuse, reduced physical activity, or missed school or work. Physical issues include severe obesity,

diabetes, heart disease, cancer and sexually transmitted diseases. Mental health problems manifest as anxiety, depression or suicide attempts.

For teens and older children, the overload of stress hormones can make learning more difficult and impact the ability to trust adults or develop healthy relationships with peers. To relieve their stress, they may turn to unhealthy choices like alcohol, overindulgence of food, marijuana (or other drugs), high-risk sports, multiple sex partners, or over-achievement. Of course, not every child exposed to adversity is going to develop problems.

As parents, we can take steps to build resilience in our children that can help

them overcome the impact of adverse experiences or any stressor.

For example, help children make friends, engage them in age-appropriate volunteer activities, maintain a daily routine and help kids set attainable goals and steps to achieve them. You can teach your child ways to take a break from stress or what’s worrying them, such as through creative activities like music or art, or other things he or she enjoys.

The goal is a balance that provides children with better tools to manage the after-effects of adverse experiences, or any kind of stress, within a supportive, stimulating envi-

in your family that influence your parenting. To learn what your or your child’s adverse childhood experience score is, visit www.

ll of our kids experience pain and trauma at some point in their life. Try to name a family that hasn’t gone through a difficult stretch — I can’t. Sometimes, though, life’s bumps and curves rise to a level that can cause lasting impacts on a child’s health and well-being, well into adulthood.

Researchers have looked into serious events that a group of adults reported they experienced as children; these were named adverse childhood experiences.

The events studied were traumatic, and much more than the typical “bumps” of childhood.

The original study, conducted between 1995 and 1997 by Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has helped us understand how events in childhood, and even infancy, impact people later in life. It has also served as a platform for many other studies over the past 15 years.

The foundation of the adverse childhood experiences research is the correlation between the number of traumas in a child’s life and chronic diseases that develop as an adult, as well as social and emotional problems in adulthood. Researchers have found that exposure to traumas can cause physical damage to a developing brain, literally creating issues in the way a child’s brain becomes wired.

The study categorizes 10 types of childhood trauma and they fall into two categories. The first one involves family members and includes alcoholism, mental illness, domestic abuse of a mother, a family member in prison, or loss of a parent through divorce, death or abandonment.

The other category involves those things that happen to the child and includes physical, verbal or sexual abuse as well as physical or emotional neglect.

This list is by no means exhaustive because there are so many types of childhood trauma, such as overcoming a severe illness or accident, seeing a sibling abused, being homeless, poverty and more.

Only 10 childhood traumas were followed in the

ronment. Family counseling can also be a very useful tool to achieve this balance.

Armed with this knowledge, take an honest look at how your child’s early years and family environment may be impacting your son’s or daughter’s ability to cope.

Also look at your own history or things that happened

UW Bothell School of STEM dean wins award Elaine Scott, Dean of University of Washington

This building is the first new structure on the UW Bothell campus in 10 years. The building ‘topped out’ this week, announced builder Lease Crutcher Lewis. CONTRIBUTED Bothell’s School of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, received Washington Biotechnology & Biomedical Association’s inaugural 2013 Life Science Innovation Northwest Women to Watch in Life Science award.

The award, recently presented at the organization’s annual conference, recognizes women who are thought-leaders in their fields and shaping the future of their industries. Scott was recognized along with five other recipients for their innovation in several areas, among them, their role as industry leaders and their commitment to community service and mentoring.

Vice president of Global Clinical Affairs at Philips Healthcare and School of

STEM board member Terrence J. Sweeney nominated Scott.

Sweeney said Scott’s reach stretches far beyond the UW Bothell campus as she works to put this region on the national stage for the life sciences.

Although Scott received this honor for her accomplishments and commitment, she says the award is a win for the community.

With the scheduled fall 2014 completion of the $62-million Science and Academic Building, Scott anticipates continued success in preparing UW Bothell students to work in the STEM fields. The 74,000-square-foot facility will house 11 science laboratories, 250 lab seats and accommodate 1,000 full-time students.
