Inglemoor athletics and activities placed on probation for two years BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@bothell-reporter.com
T
he governing body for high school athletics and activities in Washington state, the WIAA, recently put all Inglemoor High School programs on probation for
two years. The penalty is in response to two violations by former Viking girls basketball head coach John Augustavo, who played 13 girls during the district and state tournaments earlier this year. The Inglemoor girls’
basketball team made it all the way to the finals of the Class 4A State Tournament before losing in double overtime to Gonzaga Prep. Initially, the WIAA Executive Board imposed a $500 fine and a two-game suspension on Augustavo

tournament, the WIAA imposed a $2,000 fine on the school. “Initially we had a $500 fine to be used to train coaches [on WIAA rules and regulations],” said Northshore School District spokesperson Leanna

Expect lots of brake lights. Terrible congestion. And the new $338 million fast lanes designed to ease those troubles? Relatively empty. That’s the prediction from the Washington State Department of Transportation, which urged patience and lowered expectations for the first commute week with tolling on I-405 between Lynnwood and Bellevue. The Washington State Patrol reported that there were 52 stops in the new toll lanes on the first day alone, mostly for drivers who did not know they could not cross the double white lines. “It’s going to take six months to a year to kind of settle down.

drivers to be prepared,” Stone said. Tolling began on Sunday on 17 miles of I-405. Drivers now have the option to pay to use the fast lane. There are still folks who can travel the lane for free, including transit, vanpools, motorcycles and carpools. But they too will need accounts and transponders. In fact, there are so many asterisks to using the lanes — occupancy requirements for carpools, types of transponders needed, the actual amount people will pay — along with major changes to accessing them, that confusion is rampant. WSDOT has spent $4.3 million in an effort to reach everyone who uses the cor[ more I-405 page 12 ]
Bothell council candidates discuss transparency and growth at forum Population and development growth, government transparency, greater communication with the community, and of course, Wayne Golf Course,
dominated the discussions during the Bothell City Council candidate forum at Bothell City Hall on Sept. 17. Sponsored by the Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce and moderated by Cascadia Community
College President Eric Murray, the candidates fielded questions ranging from creating new parks to completing the redevelopment of downtown. The races pit incumbent Andy Rheaume against challenger Roz Gorc for Position No. 2., James G.
McNeal against Tim Ottersburg for Position No. 4 and Davina Duerr and John Lee for Position No. 6. Current councilmembers Bill Evans and Mark Lamb decided not to run for reelection. Many of the candidates are either Bothell natives,
