reat blues guitarists can conjure heavyhearted emotion with six simple strings, a tube amplifier and years of practice. But sometimes finding the right combination of notes is not as easy. The

blues is about having a heart broken, but Bothell business owner Sean McVeigh has found joy during the past two years in producing the Bothell Blues Festival. He has found the perfect combination of notes, even though he has never touched a guitar and knows nothing about the music industry. He and

Carolina Smokes owner Dave Heyward are bringing back the festival for its third year at Country Village. “It’s the four ‘B’s: Blues, Barbecue, Beer and Bothell,” said McVeigh. “… Each of the past two years 20 to 30 people have come up to me and said [ more BLUES page 5 ]

National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

rystal Warwick was pissed at God. And if battling a brain tumor for the past two-and-a-half years wasn’t enough, doctors recently told the 29-yearold she probably has less than a year to live. That’s less time to spend with her 2-year-old daughter, and her sons, ages 3 and 5. And less time to spend with her husband, Tom Warwick. Doctors gave her a 10 percent chance of beating cancer. But now the mother-ofthree rejoices in knowing that she will “spend eternity” with God. “It has been a journey,” said Krystal Warwick on a recent evening as she sat in a recliner in her Bothell home surrounded by her husband, family members and a close friend.

Family and friends have set up a website and are asking the community for help as her family faces extreme financial hardship with medical expenses, home healthcare for Krystal Warwick [ more KRYSTAL page 13 ]
