Investigation clears Bothell Council of ethics violations

Residents not satisfied, standing-room only crowd boos reading of report’s findings

oos and hisses erupted from Bothell citizens as Councilmember Tris Samberg read the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA) investiga-

tor’s report concerning the potential conflicts of interest by the city council regarding the Wayne Golf Course. The chamber was standing-room only, packed with Bothell residents interested in the results of the report and

other issues surrounding the property.

“The legal conclusion reached is that, based on the data gathered and reviewed, state law and city strictures on conflicts of interest/ethics have not been violated,

including by Mayor Joshua Freed and Councilmember Mark Lamb,” the report, written by Attorney Peter J. Eglick, states.

The report comes after months of citizen concerns over the allegations that

Freed and Lamb, as Freed’s registered agent, violated the public trust and had a conflict of interest in the procurement of the Wayne Golf Course.

The report also notes that the ethics code “is aspirational rather than stating an objectively enforceable definition of conduct constitut-

ing impropriety.” The city’s personnel policy 10.2 (4a) is referenced in connection to the alleged Wayne Golf Course conflicts of interest. Personnel policy 10.2 (4a) states that employees “should avoid any action or behavior which constitutes the reality or the appear[ more COUNCIL page 7 ]

Bothell candidates file for 2015 city council elections disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

May 11-15 is the filing period for elections in Washington state. Incumbents and challengers have until the end of today to file with the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC).

According to the PDC’s website, there are numerous candidates for both Bothell and Kenmore as of 3 p.m. on May 12.

For Bothell, Davina Duerr, of the Landmarks Preservation Board, and James McNeal, president of OneBothell, are both running for seats but have not declared for which position they will challenge.

“I think that our community needs a little more transparency and openness on our council,” McNeal said. “[And] so that the community can get more involved in some of the decisions that are being made in the community.”

Incumbent Andy Rheaume has filed for reelection to position No. 2 on the council.

Updates For up-to-date information about filing visit bothell-reporter.com.

Both Councilman Bill Evans and Mark Lamb are also up for re-election but have yet to file according to the PDC website.

In Kenmore, Mayor David Baker, Brent Smith and Stacey Danuski have already filed for reelection to their respective seats. Baker’s position as mayor is voted on by the councilmembers.

“I’m running for election because I love my city and we are just starting to accomplish so much, and I want to continue moving in that direction,” said Baker, who holds position No. 5. “I’m very excited about Kenmore’s future and I want to be part of it.”

Danuski, who holds position No. 7, was selected to take the place of Glenn Rogers when he stepped down due to medical issues.

Northshore teachers walk out to protest lack of state funding

BY DEANNA ISAACS disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

Hundreds of people around the Northshore area supported local teachers in their walkout on May 6 by bringing protestors coffee, wearing red

and marching alongside the educators through Bothell.

The march was part of walkouts staged across the state in protest of the state legislature’s failure to fully fund basic education as

found in the Washington State Supreme Court’s McCleary decision.

“It’s really important that we hear their voice and that we listen,” said Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe at the rally. “I think this is

a wonderful turnout today. If they don’t speak out then no one will listen.”

Local teens with Friends of Youth ride first flying Orca

K

enmore Air’s newest seaplane addition is all about opportunities - the opportunity to educate the Pacific Northwest about Orca and an opportunity for children in transitional housing to get an incredible view of Seattle while speaking with those who helped create this awareness effort.

The Seaplane started from the efforts of Michael Hays and Anna Gullickson, cofounders of the Wild Orca educational non-profit and pilots for Kenmore Air, who wanted to spread awareness about the plight facing these local giants.

According to Hays, the

most difficult aspect of the project was funding the seaplane repaint and the educational materials. However, there was support to get the job done; the seaplane was funded and scientists gathered information for the informational packet, now found in each of Kenmore Air’s seaplanes, concerning the ways humans negatively impact the lives of orca.

“It’s fantastic, this has been a project we’ve spent about a year on… and this is really the culmination of it,” said Michael Hays, cofounder of Wild Orca and a pilot for Kenmore Air. “What we want is for it to help killer whales by raising awareness for the issues, we want to grab peoples’ attention, and we want to turn the conver-

sation to the things that are affecting them right now and the small things people can do to make a difference.”

However, during the inaugural flight, there was a chance to improve the lives of kids while also educating about the plights of orcas.

“To be honest, I’m terrified because I’ve never been on a small plane, but it’s the day to face your fears with my friends,” said Jason, one of those chosen from Friends of Youth’s charges.

“All the businesses in the region ought to think of the reason that we’re here, about the amazing ecosystem and animals.”

Friends of Youth, based out of Kirkland, offers support services and housing needs to children with rocky

The first flight took the youth from the shores of Kenmore over the boating season’s opening regatta, around the Space Needle and over soaring skyscrapers of Seattle - all to the pleasure of those along for the ride.

While the Wild Orca seaplane will be visible for years to come, the impact

the Friends of Youth organization has had on these children will live on in their hearts for a lifetime.

“It’s actually surprising, because you’d think that shelter homes wouldn’t be able to provide as much as they can,” said Jason. “Its like having a whole new family; it feels really good. I feel more complete.”

“I think for a lot of them it’s a chance they wouldn’t otherwise have and it’s a great chance for us to get them in an air plane and do something different, but also learn about our cause and why that’s important,” Hays said. “They’re all of an impressionable age, so when we can instill good ecosystem practices, healthy practices, I think that’s really important. And they’ll spread that around, I’m certain.”

For most of the kids going on the inaugural Orca seaplane ride, this had been their first trip in any kind of plane, let alone a seaplane painted like a killer whale.

For the rest of Seattle, it was a new thing to see a flying orca.

Petals on the River event to be held in Bothell

Metal object 6.5 pounds crashes through roof of Bothell home

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

A

6.5-pound object crashed through the roof of a home in Bothell on May 6.

According to the Bothell Police Department, the metal item appears to have been a large debris grinder from a construction job-site approximately 1,500 feet from the victim’s residence.

“It was at about 11 a.m. this morning and it was a private residence,” said Bothell Police Sgt. Ken Seuberlich. “No one was injured but the damage to the home is pretty good.”

The object, which is about 5.5-inches long and 2.5-inches wide, is one piece of ragged metal with two holes in it.

Had someone been hit with the object, which landed in the master bedroom, Seuberlich said that it would have “definitely” killed them.

The object left a large hole in the roof of the home in the 1900 block of 232nd Street. The home is approximately three blocks from I-405.

“The homeowner brought it in to us this morning,” Seuberlich said.

“I have been doing this for 25 years and I have never

Some petals will be provided by The Bothell Florist.

After the brief ceremony, participants can join members of the Museum at the Hannan House for a visit and to see the Memorial Board.

This event has evolved during the past 15 years when the Bothell Museum

started its Memorial Fund in memory of those who had died that year, and whose names were placed on the Memorial Board at the Bothell Museum at Bothell Landing.

All members of the community are invited to bring a basket full of flowers and petals to drop into the river to honor special people in their life who have passed away. With each petal, there is a tribute to life; a memory.

Story raises more questions about the city of Bothell Deanna Isaacs’s article of April 27 (Bothell City Council, staff violated law by discussing Wayne purchase in executive session) raises more questions than it answers. Why didn’t the city attorney know that they were violating the Open Public Meetings Act? Where was the city manager? How many other issues were discussed in executive session in violation of the law, especially those dealing with development? It may be time for state Attorney General Bob Ferguson to step in with a truly impartial investigation. The citizens of Bothell deserve a full accounting of what the city officials are doing on their behalf - or not.

Bothell Mayor Joshua Freed has to go It seems to me that there are some striking similarities between the demolition of the historic Freed farmhouse, declining reputation of our Bothell Mayor Joshua Freed, and the construction of Bothell’s pricey new city hall.

gal obligation to full fund education. I also support families who can be considered as part of our vulnerable population, for whom a one day walk-out by our teachers creates, not an inconvenience, but a hardship. I do not believe that the two concepts – supporting teachers and supporting families – is mutually exclusive.

It was my hope that the teachers would vote, not to close school for a day, but to “walkout” during their early release time, thus sparing those families any hardship, while still achieving their goal of drawing attention to the educational funding crisis in this state. I do not know whether or not that was presented to the teachers as an option.

The teachers have voted to approve a one day walkout. While I do not think that is the best way to get their point across, I do still support them in their struggle to get our legislators to “fix” the funding problems. I have reached out to families in my community who may need help on May 6 when the schools are closed for the day. I hope others will do the same. I also hope others will join me as I participate with the teachers in one of their afternoon rallies on May 6.

We are all in this together. You know, the whole “it takes a village” thing. We are that village! Let’s work together to support our teachers and school district staff, as well as the families in our community.

Islam has never permitted violence in response to blasphemy. In fact, the Quran has addressed blasphemy on five separate occasions (4:141, 4:157; 6:69, 6:109; 9:74; 63:9), but nowhere does it permit violence as a response. Moreover, the Prophet Muhammad repeatedly tolerated abuse and avoided violence; for instance, the Prophet Muhammad not only tolerated the actions of Abdullah Ubay bin Salul – the very man who spread the cruel lie that the Prophet Muhammad’s wife was an adulterer – but he also led his funeral prayer.

The group hosting the event, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. On the other hand, Muslim Americans have lived in America since the time of George Washington; despite this, free speech remains protected. Yet, I am still left wondering what speech is being protected in this case.

the teachers’ frustration and applaud their motives, I strongly disagree a walkout is an effective approach. The teachers have squandered a perfect opportunity to actually engage and teach our children.

Instead of sending them home for a day, they should instead teach our children about how schools are funded, illustrate why it is inequitable and explain what it means that schools are underfunded. They should encourage our students to take actions, such as writing letters to their representatives and even protesting.

Simply sending them home does a great disservice to students. Rather than empowering students to become advocates for adequately funding education, teachers have chosen to make them victims of a battle they know nothing about and do not understand.

My solution is homeless people should have homes.

If the homeless have a home they would have better supplies and fresh water, not infected water. If homeless people have a home the temperature would not be too hot or too cold.

Jimmy Carter made homes for the homeless, we should too.

Northshore Education Association President Tim Brittell addresses educators and parents at The Park at Bothell Landing on May 6 during a rally. Northshore School District teachers joined educators in other districts around the state in a walkout to protest inadequate state funding for education. DEANNA ISAACS, Bothell Reporter Increases also occur because of extra credits earned through continuing education, paid for by the district. The top end for the Northshore School District is $66,784 per year, not including benefits.

Benefits include up to $768 per month in health benefits, or around $9,216 per year, though classified employees are paid benefits at 1.152 times the base amount, costing $884.74 per month or $10,616.83 for just healthcare.

As of 2014, the top

teacher earner in the Northshore School District is an elementary school teacher whose total compensation package is $91,432 per year. In contrast, the average pay for earners during 2012 in Washington State, according to the Office of Financial Management, was $52,945 and nationally $49,612.

According to Leanna Albrecht, communications director for the Northshore School District, teachers are paid their salary over the 12 months

of the year so there are no pay gaps during school breaks. Some continuing education is also financially supported by the school district and the Northshore School Foundation.

COUNCIL

A standing-room only crowd at the Bothell City Council meeting hissed and booed the results of an ethics investigation into the council’s actions concerning the Wayne Golf Course property. DEANNA ISAACS, Bothell Reporter litigation with the city of Bothell for a separate open meetings issue.

“The executive session regarding property is… to discuss the price you are going to offer or the price you are going to accept; it’s not meant for making decisions whether or not to lease things, whether or not to buy things,” EarlHubbard said during an April interview.

However, the report notes that “the OPMA and case law is clear that council action must be taken in public, not in executive session” and that “here, the council took no action after the back nine

executive session.”

While the law is open to expert interpretation, those in attendance were not pleased with the results of the investigation and made their feelings known.

“I don’t mean to be a killjoy, but we have a cancer. Integrity and what I call corruption in this city doesn’t start with Freed. It’s only the beginning,” James Barnhart said during the May 5 council meeting. “I think we have to cut the cancer out and get rid of it.”

Many have noted that, while no laws appear to have been broken, the

confidence of citizens in their government has been negatively impacted.

“It might be legal, but it sure doesn’t feel right,” Samberg said.

Many on the council noted that this has been a “learning lesson,” that the council hopes to move forward with mutual respect and that citizens read the report document available in PDF form at the Bothell City website.

Samberg has also requested an agenda item in the near future to have a discussion concerning a viable ethics code.

For most of my career as a dietitian and health counselor I have paid much attention to the deficiencies in my clients’ diet and lifestyle choices and how these could be changed for the better. Over the years,

however, I began focusing more on what went right in their lives and how their strengths could be utilized in order to overcome their weaknesses. You may say I applied (unknowingly) what is now known as “positive

When I say, “What went right in their lives,” I do not necessarily mean whether they were successful at their work, were financially secure, or had stable marriages and relationships – although

Traditional psychology has almost always been concerned with mental and emotional disorders and malfunctions and ways to treat them, he explains. By contrast, positive psychology adds an important emphasis on the human potential for building and maintaining highly functional and constructive lives.

The Sammamish River has been identified as a salmon spawning stream and its ecology is tantamount to the protection of salmon and the predators who feed off of them.

The Sammamish River’s primary importance is as a migratory corridor for adult and juvenile salmon as they return to the watershed to spawn and leave as juveniles to grow in the ocean. The WRIA 8 Plan identifies habitat restoration along the Sammamish River as critical to restoring Chinook to the North Lake Washington basin,” WRIA 8 wrote in a letter of support to OneBothell. “This site offers a unique opportunity to protect a large undeveloped space in a primarily urban area, and protection would set the stage for potentially noteworthy habitat restoration work benefitting ESAlisted Chinook salmon and other fish and wildlife.”

The discussion during the May 5 council meeting was not a final decision to work with Forterra to purchase the Wayne but was a question and answer session to better inform the council about the terms agreement set forth by Forterra.

The council also voted to direct city staff to begin

Freed, once again, recused himself from the discussion of either the front- or the back-nine due to his financial interest in the back-nine property.

WSP investigating missing money from BPD

BY ERIC STEVICK Herald Writer

Somebody took money from a safe in the Bothell Police Department evidence room, and the Washington State Patrol now is conducting a criminal investigation.

A police captain discovered an undisclosed amount of money was gone during a routine audit Jan. 20.

That led to separate internal and criminal investigations. Both are ongoing.

“It just makes it cleaner when you have an outside agency come in,” Bothell police Sgt. Ken Seuberlich said. “It’s standard practice.”

The police department’s evidence room coordinator immediately was placed on paid administrative leave in January. He was fired Feb. 17 from the noncommissioned position.

The employee had held the job for 24 years and had no previous disciplinary action taken against him.

Seuberlich declined to say how much money was

missing. He said that was because the investigation is ongoing.

“I can’t tell you the quantity, but it was enough for us to activate a criminal investigation,” he said.

Seuberlich also had no information about why the money allegedly was taken.

“I can’t really speculate on what caused the employee to do what he did,” he said.

The Washington State Patrol also is not providing specifics.

“We were asked to confirm some irregularities in the handling of evidence,” State Patrol spokeswoman Bob Calkins said. “The investigation is still ongoing so that’s about all I can say.”

The State Patrol will forward its investigation to King County prosecutors for a filing decision, he said.

Bothell police continue to do an item-by-item audit of the evidence room to make sure nothing else was taken. It has informed defense attorneys of the missing money, Seuberlich said.

Based of the TedTalks of Peter Kageyama, the

The person is unsure how entry was made, however she was not in the residence for approximately 11 hours.

A female left her purse in her employers break room.

Kenmore residents approaching Kenmore Village probably saw an unusually green sight in the parking lot on May 6.

“That was really exciting to see somebody actually write us a ‘love note’ like that,” said Kenmore Mayor David Baker. “I was overwhelmed at the generosity and act of caring in the community involvement.”

According to Baker, his favorite activity at the new parklet is the beanbag toss.

This new addition, a parklet created by Mainstreet Property Group LLC, is one of the many ideas created during the “For the love of Kenmore” event hosted by the city last month.

“This is what the town square will feel like when

“This cost the taxpayers of Kenmore nothing, zero,” Baker said. “For them to up and do something like that and give us so much enjoyment early in the spring, it’s been overwhelming.”

While the cost to the city was nothing, maybe the more surprising aspect is that all of the toys, chairs and items within the parklet are all still there.

Nothing has been stolen or taken.

“It feels good. We’ve worked long and hard to make things happen and [the parklet] is a precursor of things to come,” Baker said. “Most people really get it and really appreciate it.”

Other ideas from the For the Love of Kenmore are being planned, such as the Lake Washington ‘monster,’ a life-sized heron’s nest made from recycled materials, and rain-activated scavenger hunts around the Kenmore downtown.

received overwhelming positive response from the community. Everyone from small toddlers to business members to dogs have enjoyed the parklet,” Cartwright said. “Mayor David Baker was one of the first visitors to the park and was so thankful for the idea. In fact, he was the first to post it to his Facebook page and referred to it as Kenmore’s first ‘love note.’”

The first of what the city hopes will be many ideas brought to life is the parklet now open at Kenmore Village.

“I’m flabbergasted at the amount of attention this has received,” Baker said.

“They’re just really pleased.

They understand it’s something temporary and something to be enjoyed.”

One mother took her two kids there the morning the parklet appeared and had a blast, even giving photographic proof of said fun to the Reporter.

...obituaries John Bruce “Jack” Sutherland III

John Bruce “Jack” Sutherland III, 96, of Lacey, WA, formerly of Bothell, WA, passed away April 24, 2015. He was born February 12, 1919, in Chicago, IL, to John B. and Margaret P. Sutherland. He graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, IA, the University of Illinois (BS), and Washington State College (MS). On October 5, 1941, he married Lois K. Larner in Warsaw, IL. He served as an officer in the 10th Cavalry Regiment (the Buffalo Soldiers) and then in the Army Air Corps in Australia and New Guinea. He worked for 35 years as an engineering manager at Boeing.

Jack served the Boy Scouts of America as Cubmaster, as leader of Boy Scout hikes across the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, as founder and Skipper of the Bothell Sea Scout Ship “Wanderlust,” and as District Commissioner, starting several new Cub Scout packs. In 1968, he was awarded the Silver Beaver award for distinguished service to the Chief Seattle Council of the BSA. His 12 years of service on the Northshore School Board (Bothell) included a term as chairman; he also served as chairman of the Men’s Club of the Northshore Senior Center.

More recently, he established the Sutherland Family Scholarship for Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education and, in 2014, he was named to the Northshore School District Wall of Honor.

Jack was a faithful member of the Bothell United Methodist Church and St. Andrew’s UMC in Lacey. Other interests included sailing, canoeing, home construction, and tree farming.

He served as president of the Upper Puget Sound chapter of the Washington Farm Forestry Association.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Lois; his brother, Robert G. Sutherland; his sister, Margaret Sutherland Couch; and his son, Robert F. Sutherland. Survivors include his son, John B. Sutherland IV (Fatemeh), of White Hall, AR; and his daughter, Janet L. Sutherland, of Bremen, Germany.

Services were held at St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church in Lacey, WA on May 7, 2015, with burial in Floral Hills Cemetery in Lynnwood, WA. Arrangements are through Funeral Alternatives of Washington, 360-753-1065.

2015 Mitsubishi’s Lancer GT is not for the ‘driver assist’ crowd

Inglemoor’s Katie Diekema named WIAA Athlete of the Week

D

Katie Diekema, a senior from Inglemoor High School, was selected by WIAA staff as one of the Athletes of the Week for achievements in Track & Field.

Diekema won the Bellevue Invitational in the 800-meter run in a personal best time of 2-minutes, 19.8-seconds, winning by more than a second.

In recognition of their accomplishment, each Athlete of the Week winner receives a congratulatory letter from WIAA Executive Director, Mike Colbrese, a commemorative WIAA State Athlete of the Week t-shirt, and a certificate. Winners are also posted to the WIAA website at www.wiaa.com.

riving the all-wheel drive (AWD) Mitsubishi Lancer GT on the dirt roads of Washington is about as close to stage rally as many of us will ever get - unless you drive stage rally, if so: Kudos.

For the rest of us, who still desire fun and fast both on and off pavement, this $21,595 (base price for GT) sedan gives you a lot of smiles, but not a lot of modern luxuries.

There’s no lane assist, no radar-aided cruise controls, no blind spot detectors - nothing.

Instead, drivers must actually pay attention to where they are going, what’s going on around them, and all the other requirements for passing one’s driver’s test.

There’s heated seats and climate control for the front seats, a sound system that is audibly great (the bass will vibrate your mirrors, you are forewarned), and the ride is comfortable even on the most bouncy of unpaved, dirt backroads.

The backseats are roomy, but lack TV screens for the

INGLEMOOR HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR KATIE DIEKEMA (FRONT)

District Softball Team Bothell High School junior Kendra Heyer was named to the Capital One Academic All-District Softball Team as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on May 7.

Heyer has a 3.99 GPA as a Speech Pathology major.

On the field Heyer has started 12 games primarily in right field hitting .208 during conference play with six total runs scored, two extra base hits, one home run and three RBIs on the season.

Heyer earned the honor in the district that included the states of Delaware,

Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.

“Kendra is the consummate student athlete,” said head coach Ron Shoemaker. “She is carrying a 3.99 GPA after two and a half full years. She is on pace for another 4.0 semester.

She takes her studies very seriously, prioritizes well and should be a role model to everyone.”

Heyer and the rest of the Explorers continue play in the Atlantic 10 Softball Championship this evening as they take on the loser of Saint Louis and Fordham in an elimination game at 5 p.m. from Sortino Field on the campus of University of Massachusetts Amherst.

kiddos or heated seats to warm them when it’s cold.

Instead, people must communicate with those in the backseat or let them speak amongst themselves for entertainment, and give them blankets when they’re cold.

The infotainment has Bluetooth connectivity, GPS, backup camera, and Sirius radio, but that’s it. You can’t check your Things like using blinkers or checking blind spots before merging… you know, the basics.

I like that. For the price you’re paying, you are purchasing a car that you have to actively participate in driving to operate.

The only thing it lacked, in terms of being a true driver’s car, is a manual gearbox; though there is an option, it wasn’t in the version The Auto Reporter drove. Instead, the manumatic continuously variable transmission (CVT), had a ‘D’ mode for normal automatic transmission driving and the manumatic flappy paddles for the fun driving.

ics I’ve driven, this has been the first that encourages me to use the flappy paddles because it’s responsive and fun, not droll and gastropoda slow. However, the Automatic transmission doesn’t save you much gas; it’s still an AWD car and so the miles per gallon are lower than your average front-wheel or rear-wheel drive.

The Lancer GT gets around 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway from the 168 horsepower, 2.4L 16-valve engine (for the GT model).

All in all, this was a great car with zero distractions inside the car. I had an incredible time on the mountain roads in southeast King County on the way out to a hike and had an incredible time on the way back!

Any car that can handle the Forest Service roads of Washington State can handle anything the city throws at it.
