ohn Catanzaro, a Bothell naturopathic physician whose license was recently suspended by the state, launched a personal
website this week. The goal of the site is to raise funds not only for his defense, but to repay his patients back for the funds they invested in their individual vaccines Catanzaro was forced to
destroy following his suspension. Catanzaro’s Health and Wellness Institute of Integrative Medicine and Cancer Treatment is still open and treating patients, but Catanzaro is not. “I am a doctor and I am
full of compassion and the desire to help others,” Catanzaro said. “My heart is broken over all of this. These are stage 4 cancer patients waiting on treatments we had to throw away and I just want to be able to pay
them back for all they’ve lost.” Catanzaro asked for a settlement opportunity and hearing to contest the Washington Sate Department of Health’s statement of charges against him,
issued Jan. 24. The board suspended his license to practice at his business, Health and Wellness Institute, on Jan. 28. The state contends that the protocol Catan[ more CANCER page 2 ]

Northshore Summit Park neighbors experiencing water drainage issues Kenmore resident Kyle Tate can no longer allow his kids to play or let his dog out in his backyard. Since the development
for Northshore Summit Park began in 2013, Tate’s home and several of his neighbors’ homes are experiencing severe water drainage issues and pooling on their property. Tate says the water is now pooling
around his home’s foundation. “These water issues never existed prior to construction of the park,” Tate said. “I’ve lived here for eight years and never had a problem like this before.”
In February, Tate noticed water in the roadway that seemed to be coming out of the rock wall next to the park. About six to eight weeks later, he noticed around four inches of water in his backyard.
“What they’ve done is totally raise the topography and closed off the stormdrain pipe that used to be connected to my property so now we have water seeping from the ground and filling up our backyards,” he
said. “The problem keeps getting bigger and bigger and my neighbors and I have written letters to the city and not gotten any help.” The park is located at [ more WATER page 5 ]
