The idea of creating a Junior City Council in Kenmore has been

� oating around for the past few years, and despite some community interest, it may be dead in the water for the

time being.Corina Pfeil is a commu-

nity advocate and mother who has approached various school and govern-ment o� cials with the idea of creating a Junior City Council.

“It’s a wonderful oppor-tunity for kids who may

want to one day get into city government or civic duties,” she said.

Responsibilities for mem-bers includes attending city meetings, reading and un-derstanding city documents and voicing their input on issues.

“I think having a youth

perspective of the com-munity that they live in, I think it’s very important,” said Kenmore Mayor David Baker, who has been work-ing with the idea of creating a Junior Council since 2009.

Bothell police detective found not guilty of misconductBY AARON KUNKLER

[email protected]

A King County jury took just two hours of delibera-tion to acquit a Bothell police detective on Tuesday on all three counts that she engaged in sexual misconduct with an underage female Bothell

High School student.Dione E. � ompson,

46, was the acting school resource o� cer at the time of the incidents that allegedly took place in 2010 when the girl was 17 years old. � omp-son was charged with three counts of � rst degree sexual misconduct in February.

� ompson has been cleared to return to work on Monday as a patrol o� cer.

“I’m obviously very very pleased that the jury acquit-ted her so quickly, I believe that justice was done,” said David Allen, � ompson’s defense attorney.

� ompson took the stand

in her own defense during the three-week trial.

“She was on the stand for a day and a half and she didn’t have anything to hide, she wanted to tell the truth that she was innocent,” Allen said.

“She didn’t want to hide behind the council table,”

State Route 522, running through Bothell and Kenmore, is a main artery for tra� c in the Northshore community. Kenmore o� cials have long suggested that tolling on the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge has increased tra� c on State Route 522. Now anecdotal evidence is suggesting that the same tra� c diversion due to tolling is happening with the new HOT lanes on I-405. AARON KUNKLER, Kenmore Reporter

City officials in Kenmore continue to look at ways of

developing a more vibrant and accessible waterfront along the banks of Lake Washington under an initiative known as “Get Me to the Water.”

Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey said ac-cess to the lake has long been an area of interest for residents, since most waterfront property is privately owned.

“Very little of it’s ac-cessible by the public,” he said.

The city owns three plots of waterfront land along Lake Washington and the Sammamish Riv-er, which includes Squire’s Landing, Rhododendron Park and Log Boom Park. A Department of Fish and Wildlife boat launch also borders Rhododendron Park and shoreline in Saint Edward State Park is also accessible from hik-ing trails to the water.

Squire’s Landing is

a large plot of wetland owned by the city and en-compasses the mouth and partial length of Swamp Creek where it connects with the Sammamish River.

A mobile home and ga-rage sit on the property in front of a dock. The dock came with the purchase of the land, which Karlin-sey said was important due to the difficulty and red-tape associated with permitting the structures. Eventually, the city will remove the house to open up the park.

“It’s a work in progress. Acquiring the prop-erty is step one,” he said. “We definitely want the public to know they can come and be comfortable there.”

While the house gener-ally is unused, the dock holds equipment for the Kenmore Waterfront Ac-tivities Center, a rowing group which organizes canoe, kayak, dragonboat and stand-up paddle board events.

Doug Ritchie is the director of the group.

“Squire’s Landing is a great place, because the river is protected and we can teach beginners,” he said.

The Sammamish River is a slow-moving river originating from the Lake Sammamish near Red-mond. Its lazy pace lets rowers paddle up and down the river and into

Lake Washington with ease, Ritchie said. He is also happy to see Ken-more encourage water-based sports

“It’s a really low cost way of doing things for people,” he said. “It really helps the city identify itself as a type of place that’s trying to work on quality of life for fami-

lies.”Squire’s Landing also

has a man-made lagoon where Karlinsey said the city wants to eventually construct a boardwalk around the perimeter to let people enjoy the natu-ral wetlands.

A little more than a quarter-mile downstream across the river is Rho-

dodendron Park, which includes waterfront access, two play areas, a basketball court and other development.

Contiguous to the park is the boat landing owned by the Department of Fish and Wildlife where Karlinsey said the city worked with the depart-ment to resurface the parking lot, revegetate surrounding areas and install a bathroom, on top of adding an additional boat-input lane.

Log Boom Park lies around a mile west of Rhododendron Park along the banks of Lake Washington and features an undeveloped beach, a play set, a walkway with plaques featuring images and stories about Ken-more’s history and a long dock protruding into the lake.

“Log Boom Park has so much potential,” Karlin-sey said.

The city is looking at developing a beach at the site, possibly similar to Kirkland’s beach in

Miles of footpath winds through thickets of black-

berries and groves of cedars and pine, up steep inclines and over ridges. � e clamor of tra� c is quickly weeded out by old growth vegetation and steep hills � lled with the sounds of bird calls and creaking wood inside Both-ell’s Shelton View Woods.

However, change may be in the future as one forest property owner is seeking to have their plot rezoned, prompting concerns of future development among neigh-bors. � e Bothell Parks and Recreation department is also looking at turning a por-tion of the land into a park.

� e forest sits on more than 100 acres, and is composed of multiple plots owned by various private interests, as well as plots owned by the Department of Natural Resources, the Federal Emergence Manage-ment Agency and the United States Army. Some plots already have commercial or residential development on them.

Shelton View Woods is one of the last open spaces in Bothell and Kenmore aside from Saint Edward State Park, and has attracted a small but dedicated group of citizens calling for its preservation.

Long-time forest advocate Janet DeGrave bristles at the thought of development on the land she’s fought tooth and nail to protect during the past 23 years.

“For some reason, I have a very strong connection to the trees, and water and animals. So for me, it’s something that I think about every day,” she said.

DeGrave moved into a house next to the woods 33 years ago a� er she said her real estate agent told her the ‘green belt’ behind her house was permanent. She later found out it wasn’t.

During the past two decades, she has appeared before the Bothell City Council multiple times, writ-ten countless editorial letters, attended meetings, started petitions and protested to save the woodland.

DeGrave isn’t alone in her desire to keep the forest an open space.

An online petition by a group called Save Shelton View Woods has gathered more than 700 signatures calling for the city to keep the woods as they are, or develop it into a park.

Bothell’s Parks Advisory Board was also interested, and voted last � ursday to draw up a proposal to look into purchasing a 26-acre plot from the Department of Natural Resources.

“At this point, I’m just waiting to see if there’s any interest,” said city Parks and Recreation Director John Ke-ates. “It’s a pretty neat piece of property.”

If approved by the City Council, the Parks Advisory Board would begin drawing up plans to secure fund-ing for the purchase. Since the Department of Natural Resources land is held in trust, it must be bought at an appraised fair market value, Keates said.

According to the DNR, an appraisal is a long and costly process, and is not started until later in negotiations.

Trust land, like the Shelton View Woods DNR plot, are owned by the state and used to generate revenue for capi-

tal improvements through logging or other means.

MC Coast LLC owns a 16.5 acre plot of land directly north of the DNR plot, and according to blueprints from study sessions held last month, may be looking to rezone them for medium- to high-density development, including apartments.

It could also house neigh-borhood convenience stores, in line with the city’s compre-hensive growth plan.

City planners began up-dating their comprehensive growth plan in 2013, a pro-cess which is on an eight-year cycle. Senior planner Bruce

Blackburn said MC Coast LLC requested a rezoning of their property this cycle.

� e city is discussing the proposed rezoning with the community and gathering information. No develop-ment plans for the MC Coast LLC plot have been submit-ted.

“We identi� ed that was just too complex a discus-sion to be held at that time,” Blackburn said.

� ree plans were pre-sented, with plots owned by the DNR and Fruhling Sand and Topsoil remaining un-changed. Property owned by Canyon Ridge Condos to the

north of the MC Coast LLC property could be rezoned to more closely match their current use.

As the Northshore area continues to grow, developers are looking at unused plots of land to build on. Bothell’s Parks and Recreation Open Space Plan adopted in 2012 states there should be 3 acres of neighborhood park, 2.5 acres for community parks and 2.5 acres for regional parks per 1,000 residents.

DeGrave believes the en-tirety of the forest, aside from the Canyon Creek condos property, would satisfy these guidelines, but it’s more than regulations to her.

“I’ve gone from being able to see the joy and the beauty that (place) would bring me, to actually feeling it,” she said.”I hope that would be something that people could experience at some point.”

A Planning Commission and community hearing was held Oct. 16, where more than 40 people showed up to voice their opinion where city o� cials said resident input was appreciated.

Another meeting is sched-uled for Nov. 18.

City Hall story overlooked important fact

Your article on Bothell’s new City Hall over-looked an important fact. � e city will pay 24 years of lease payments, which will start at $3.1 million a year and end at $3.3 million a year in 2039.

� at means the new City Hall, when all is said and done, will cost in excess of $75 million. � at is $1,460 per square foot, $1,786 per Bothell resident and $630,252 for each member of sta� that will be working there.

Bet most of the sta� could � gure out a better way to spend that kind of money. I sure could. � ings like training for the � rst responders, sidewalks and safe pedestrian crossings, more parks, safer roads, more open space, revitalization of Main Street and a transportation system that bu� ers neighborhoods.Pat Pierce, Bothell

SR 522 is not as safe as it needs to be

Recently, on the a� ernoon of Oct. 15, a driver crossed the center line and collided head on with an oncoming truck on the SR 522 bend between 61st Street Northeast and Ballinger Way. He su� ered life-threatening injuries a� er rolling his vehicle.

I commute to and from Kenmore on SR 522 � ve times a week. As I’m sure other commuters would agree, there seem to be numerous times when traf-� c is backed up due to a serious or fatal accident. But I’m not writing as a disgruntled commuter who’s occasionally late getting home from work. I’m writing as a concerned citizen, father, and husband who doesn’t believe SR 522 is nearly as safe as it needs to be.

I know major, lengthy construction is cur-rently underway alongside SR 522 on 61st Street Northeast, one of the reasons being to put in much needed sidewalks. But I also think simpler, quicker, and less costly improvements should be considered.

I also know it’s easy to criticize problems and much harder to think of viable solutions, but I’ll try nonetheless: Install precast concrete barriers in the center of the SR 522 curve between 61st Street Northeast and Ballinger Way. Wouldn’t this be a cheap, quick, and e� ective measure to prevent high speed collisions?

I applaud Kenmore government for the tra� c and pedestrian safety improvements that are being funded now and have been put in place recently. I think the current construction will make one of Kenmore’s busiest intersections a safer place, and last year’s speed limit reduction on SR 522 was a gi-ant step forward. But I also hope we continue to act, especially for minor improvements that can have a major preventative impact.Tom Watson, Kenmore

Editor’s note: Here is an o� cial description of the accident that took place on SR 522 on Oct. 15 - “� e vehicle was driving erratically, westbound on Bothell Way; swerving into curbing, and tra� c cones. � e driver eventually drove the vehicle into a ditch. His jeep rolled and came back, up-right on the roadway. � e driver then applied the accelerator. His wheels turned to the le� and he drove straight into a westbound vehicle. � e driver was diagnosed with a medical condition and transported to Harborview Medical Center. � e westbound motorist and his passengers were not injured.”

What does your family look like?

What does your family look like? I have a mom, a dad, two older brothers, two dogs and two cats. Yes, my animals are my family. I have plenty of friends at school who I consider my other family.

Today, 46 percent of U.S kids younger than 18

years of age are living in a home with two married heterosexual parents in their � rst marriage. In 1960 it was 73 percent, 1980 was 61 percent.

Single parents account for 27 percent of family households with children under 18. One in two children will live in a single parent family at some point in their childhood. Nearly half of all marriages end in divorce. Now you probably won’t understand what I mean by this, but family is a relative thing. Now, let me explain. Kids nowadays are connecting less and less with their actual families and spending more time with their friends. � is is why I say fam-ily is relative. Friends can be family, animals can be family, heck, even teachers could be family. Family can be whatever you want it to be. What does your family look like?

� e problem is some kids don’t have a fam-ily that supports them. � eir family may not be stable, they may have family members who drink or do drugs, they might get beat or they don’t get any attention. So who do they turn to? � eir friends, their animals, their teachers. � ey create their family of choice. � ey choose to spend more time with them than their actual families. � ey choose their friends over their family because their friends will give them attention, they will care for them, they include them in things. Friends will take care of each other.

I need you all to connect with your families of choice. Support everyone of your members. Your mom, your dad, brothers, sisters, friends, teachers, even your pets. Support them all. If you see some-one struggling; help them. Talk to them, do things with them, bring them back up; make their day. Don’t sit and watch them struggle more and more. Do your part and help them.

� is is important to all of us because, school as a school, is a family. And within school there are many di� erent families. Each one has di� erent kids, with di� erent struggles. None of them asked for their issues, but all of them deal with it. What does your family look like?Joe Morin, Kenmore

Don’t point out people’s misfortunes

Have you ever had someone point something out that you that was totally obvious but you didn’t want anyone to notice? Just like that huge zit on your face that people can’t stop looking at. It’s a terrible and embarrassing feeling. A lot of people experience it almost every day of their lives.

It seems that no one thinks about what they say before they say it. If people just took a second to

think about pointing out someone’s imperfections, they might realize that it would make the person feel bad about themselves. I know what it’s like to walk around and hope no one sees my insecurities. But just about every day I get told that same things: “Your face is really red,” or “You wear to much blush.” It pisses me o� because most people who say these things have known me for a long time. � is is actually something that gets on my nerves. Do those people not realize that I was born like this. I know my face isn’t clear. I know it’s red. I have to look at it every day, and I can feel the heat rush to my face when it happens. Why do you have to point it out something so obvious, and to be truth-ful, it kind of makes you look like an idiot.

Pointing out imperfections is a problem because it can make people feel bad about him or

herself. I remember when I used to wear shorts a lot in the summer. I would walk to the store with me best friend and stay cool. A� er a while, people kept asking me

if I was cold because I have these dots on my legs that kind of looked like goose bumps. I

started feeling really insecure about my legs (which I was already insecure about) and refused to leave the my home if I wasn’t wearing something that covered my legs. I haven’t worn shorts outside since that. Pointing things out can really change some-one. People hear all these negative comments, and start to believe that something is wrong with them. � en they put themselves down so much that they become depressed. Some people can even become suicidal. Maybe not just from imperfections, but it’s possible.

I need everyone to stop, and think about what they’re going to say to someone. Ask yourself, if it’s something obvious, “ Do they probably know that something is “wrong” with them?” or “will they be embarrassed if I point this out with other people listening?” It’s not that hard to not be a jerk to people. Everyone has some imperfections. Even the hottest guy or girl in the school does. People need to realize that words do hurt even if the person says they don’t care if people point out things about them. � ose people usually go home and think about those things. � ose words sink in, and they hurt.

I think this issue needs to be addressed because it can make people very depressed. People who are really depressed can become suicidal. No one deserves that. Even the worst people in the world. So next time you go to point something out about something, keep that in mind.Tristin Rampy, Bothell

Americans are living longer. Home val-ues are up. And for many senior citi-zens, their home is their single biggest asset, oft en accounting for more than 50% of their net worth.With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefi t from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret,” notes Former U.S. Senator Fred Th ompson.“You know, some people have told me that reverse mortgages sound too good to be true. You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home,” says Senator Th ompson. NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain

in their homes. “Th ey’re simply an eff ective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement,” notes Th ompson. Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been greatly improved to provide greater

protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefi t of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash fl ow, a huge blessing for those on a fi xed income. Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefi t from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more

information due to rumors they’ve heard. Th at’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life. A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 97% of their clients were satisfi ed with their reverse mortgages. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

Bothell’s new city hall opened for busi-ness Oct. 26 with

city officials planning the imposing 133,350 square foot structure, including a parking garage, with the future in mind.

Inside the general lobby are desks for nearly all the city’s services other than the police and fire depart-ments. A section of wall lined with live vegetation rises to the second floor, filled with regional plants. The new city council chamber is more than two times larger than the old chambers, and staff offices are lined on one side with floor to ceiling windows.

Planning for the new city hall began in 2006 to replace the old city hall which was constructed in 1938. The new build-

ing consolidates six former buildings into one, providing residents with a single destination for most government interaction, a feature City Manager Bob Stowe said

was an important consid-eration.

“Now they don’t have to go to multiple buildings to get service,” he said.

The building also houses an underground parking garage which will be available for public use from around 6 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. weekdays, and opening at 6:30 a.m. weekends.

With city officials say-ing that Bothell is project-ed to continue growing through regional devel-opment and annexation the building has space for around 200 employees even though only around 120 employees work there currently. It is anticipated to serve as city hall well

into the future.“We view this building

as something that will be around for at least the next 75 years,” Stowe said.

In total, the project was anticipated to cost $46.7 million and city officials said they are around $1.5 million under budget.

The new city hall will have a grand opening on Nov. 7 from 10 a.m. to noon and is located at 18415 101st Avenue Northeast.

Bothell church to host forum on tent cities

Bothell United Meth-odist Church will host a forum on tent cities and the effectiveness they have for homeless in the area.

The forum will take place at 7 p.m. on Nov. 10 at the chuch, located at 18515 92nd Ave. N.E. in Bothell.

The public is invited to an education and awareness forum on homelessness and how tent cities affect residents both in and around their loca-tions. This forum will

provide information about homelessness in Kenmore and Both-ell, and will feature leaders from our city governments, hu-man services agencies and temporary en-campment members. Refreshments served afterward.

The event is spon-sored by The Kenmore\Bothell Interfaith Group (BIG), including the following par-ticipating faith groups: Life Fellowship - Kenmore, First Church of Christ Scientist – Bothell, Bothell United Methodist Church, First Lutheran Church - Bothell, Northlake Lutheran Church – Kenmore, Sikh Centre of Seattle, and The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints – Bothell Stake.

positions on various city departments including the planning and library departments. To date, only the library position has been � lled.

“We can’t get the � rst step done, which is the planning commission,” Baker said.

Commonly cited con-cerns from parents include the workload, which high school students already have, and the scheduling of city meetings, which are of-ten held at night during the school week, Baker said.

Auburn has had a Junior City Council for the past few years, in which time Executive Assistant to the Mayor Tammie Bothell said they’ve been a great help.

“� ey have so many great ideas,” she said. “� ey just bring a new youth perspective to things, and it just keeps us connected to the youth of the com-munity.”

� e Auburn Junior City Council recently started their own community-wide anti-bullying initiative a� er deciding as a group to try and tackle the problem, Bothell said.

� is student-driven design is essential to Au-burn’s model, which allows students to have a voice in city governance.

“Seeing where they want to grow this I think is num-ber one,” said Bothell.

Students must live in Au-burn to be eligible for the council, with the majority of seats going to public school students since the

program is funded by the city, with at least one re-served for home schoolers or private school students.

Pfeil hopes Kenmore will create a program, view-ing a lack of interest as something which can be addressed.

“I think the problem is an idea, a speci� c task list and then pulling in the right resources,” she said.

Her vision for a council would involve students working on park improve-ments, bike safety educa-tion and other jobs which she said adults may not be as interested in volunteer-ing for but which she says look great on college and professional resumes.

“� ere’s opportunities for these kids to pay their way toward better col-lege opportunity by being involved in the local com-munity,” she said.

Baker said he still be-lieves a Junior City Council would be an asset to the city, and is still open to setting one up if there is enough public interest.

� ere are currently two interns from Inglemoor High School working as event and organizing as-sistants for city events in Kenmore as volunteers as opposed to city council-appointed positions.

Beyond giving students more skills for future success, Pfeil also thinks there’s a simpler reason to include younger voices in city government.

“Community isn’t just about adults or seniors,” she said. “It’s also about youth.”

Since she was 12-years-old, Kristina Valiani knew she

wanted to work with skin and body care products, so last Saturday a� er eight months of planning, she opened her own store in Bothell’s Country Village.

Beauty of Hope is the 25-year-old Bellevue resident’s � rst indepen-dent venture, though she’s worked for big-name skin-care businesses for years. What makes her business unique is its mission and pro� t structure.

Ten percent of all pur-chases at her store go di-rectly to the Seattle-based Real Escape from the Sex Trade, or REST, a non-

pro� t dedicated to ending human tra� cking and the sex trade in Seattle.

“� e giving back is in the DNA,” she said of her business model.

Sexual slavery has been an issue on Valiani’s mind for years.

One of the Seattle area’s less appealing qualities goes by many names, be it the ‘Northwest Nice,’ ‘Seattle Freeze,’ or simply standoffish. It’s the idea that transplants to the region have a difficult time making friends in the frigid Northwest, and it’s an issue Kenmore’s Antoine El Daher hopes to tackle with the release of his brand-new app.

Patook is the 32-year-old’s brainchild, which he’s developed over the past two years and re-leased last week. The app is designed to facilitate friendships and commu-

nity involvement instead of dating or business networking.

It combines social-net-working sensibilities with real-time localized discus-sion feeds, and a rating system which allows users to share their interests and connect with other like-minded users.

“The ultimate goal is for you to connect to other people in a meaningful way,” Daher said. “When you’re an adult, it’s not very easy to just make friends out of thin air.”

Daher is no stranger to the Freeze. Since mov-ing to the area ten years ago, he’s dealt with the phenomena as well.

He stressed the app

isn’t for hooking up, like Tinder, but for finding platonic friends, and he hopes to keep cultivating a warm and inviting en-vironment where people feel at ease.

While doing market research for Patook, Daher surveyed about 2,000 people on their experiences meeting new people in cities. He found 35 percent of people said it was very hard, and 50 percent of transplants within a five-year window said it was very difficult to make friends.

Though it only launched last week, Daher said the feedback he’s received is promising, particularly from expatri-

ates, students and people over 50.

“For these people, sometimes it takes a long time to make new con-nections,” he said. “I like for people to make great friends wherever they go.”

“The people who log onto it like it,” he said. “It’s a pretty friendly atmosphere.”

The app is available online for iPhones and Android and is free for all users.

Juanita.“That’s a thing I hear

quite often: ‘When can we have our own beach,’” he said.

The current beach is what Karlinsey describes as a ‘critical area,’ which makes the shoreline wet-lands incredibly hard for which to get permits.

He said the city is look-ing at moving a developed beach to the west and off-setting the development impact by improving the wetlands in Squire’s Landing.

Set in the middle of these parks is a large plot of undeveloped land called Lakepointe.

“Lakepointe is our holy grail, our Big Kahuna,” Karlinsey said.

The city has been in

discussion with the own-ers for more than three decades with a goal of establishing a park at Lakepointe by 2023.

Companies build-ing the State Route 520 bridge have been rent-ing buildings on-site for the past few years, but with construction wrap-ping up, city officials are optimistic about securing a portion of Lakepointe property, which is the last undeveloped property along Lake Washington of its kind.

Estimates for the whole plot including structures is more than $6 million, according to King Coun-ty, but city officials hope the owners may donate portions of the waterfront to the city.

oeing is coming up on a special year. In July, the company will be 100 years old. It’s a great success story, but Boeing didn’t do it alone. They’ve had incredible support from the com-

munity. It’s this special relationship between Boeing and its Puget Sound neighbors that will make its sec-ond century even better for the company and the com-munities where its employees live and work.

Boeing and Puget Sound have come far in their jour-ney together. Today, they’re major partners in interna-tional trade – with aerospace accounting for over half the state’s exports last year. Boeing is the largest single exporter in the U.S. – an important engine of the econo-my and a creator of jobs in the Puget Sound area.

Although Puget Sound is home to a number of major companies, Boeing remains the state’s largest private employer, with over 80,000 employees based here in Washington. In the past five years, Boeing and Ama-zon together accounted, directly or indirectly, for more than 40 percent of the jobs created in the Puget Sound region.

Commercial aviation is growing around the world, and Boeing’s success in global markets supports ris-ing production rates in Boeing factories around Puget Sound. At the same time, as Boeing increases its in-ternational growth, it is also providing support in Puget Sound communities where the majority of its employ-ees live.

Boeing support for Puget Sound communities

Boeing is an important presence in Washington state and in the lives of its residents, and has become a catalyst for positive change in millions of lives.

In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations. The continued growth in aviation means the Puget Sound region stands to re-ceive continued strong community support for health and human services, arts, environmental, culture and civic engagement.

Boeing employees are also playing a leadership role in supporting their communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound, more than $9 million in financial assistance was provided to local nonprofits to boost education, human services and veterans support.

The company is also inspiring the next generation of Puget Sound leaders. More than 650 Everett middle school students have participated in Boeing programs focused on energy efficiency and renewable energy. Students are also learning about clean energy and en-ergy conservation due in part to a Boeing-funded sci-ence curriculum within the Everett School District.

Boeing partners with Everett Community College to train aviation mechanics, and has contributed more than $9 million to the United Way of Snohomish County and other organizations dedicated to service.

For the past five years, Boeing employees have vol-unteered to encourage recycling, employee engage-ment and community volunteering companywide. The Sustainables, a Green Team based in the Puget Sound, has completed about 80 site-based projects since 2010, contributing to a 74 percent increase in re-cycling and environmental education initiatives at the local sites.

Boeing also supports military personnel and fami-lies. The Employees Community Fund awarded a grant to USO Northwest to support the construction on a new USO Welcome Center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which will serve more than 10,000 military per-sonnel and their families each month.

Boeing is lead supporter for Rally Point 6, a nonprofit that helps veterans seeking employment, educational opportunities, assistance with benefits, housing or tran-sition advice. Since the center opened in March 2014, more than 1,750 military, veterans and their families have found support.

With Boeing winning in growing the aerospace mar-ketplace, Puget Sound residents will see a win of their own. As the state’s largest employer, Boeing has shown a commitment to giving time, talent and resources to build up the communities its employees call home.

China becoming powerful catalyst for Puget Sound economic growth

hina is projected to become the world’s largest commercial air-

plane market by 2030, creating opportu-nities worth billions for the Puget Sound region.

The country is already Washington’s largest trading partner, with nearly a quarter of all the state’s exports headed for Chinese markets. In 2014, more than $20.7 billion in goods were exported, in-cluding apples, cherries, hops and wine. Topping the export list is the aerospace industry and Boeing.

China’s rapidly growing aviation market plays a crucial role in Boeing’s current and future success, said Boe-ing Chairman Jim McNerney in a news release.

Boeing projects Chinese markets will need 6,330 new planes worth $950 bil-lion by 2034, making them the compa-ny’s largest potential customer.

While Boeing makes up more than 50 percent of the Chinese commercial airplane market, the company is in a stiff competition to win Chinese orders against European plane-maker Airbus.

The European company opened an airplane completion facility in Tianjin, near Beijing, in 2008 for the A320, and announced plans this summer to open a facility to finish interiors of the twin-aisle A330 in China. Boeing is leveling the

competition with its Sept. 23 announce-ment to open a similar facility in China.

The company’s 40-year business re-lationship with China, which helped de-velop its aviation industry, could give the Puget Sound region an added advan-tage to come out on top.

An investment treaty between China and the U.S. could provide a framework

for broader investment in U.S. and Chi-nese economies, according to previous reports.

Supporters say, if signed, an agree-ment with China would create “a powerful catalyst for more economic growth,” ac-cording to The Daily Herald. The agree-ment would open up more of its market to American companies, provide clearer rules for Chinese investment in the U.S. and create jobs on both sides. Nonethe-less, both sides have a long way to go in negotiating any investment agreement.

With Boeing’s announcement to build a China-based delivery center – the first of its kind outside the U.S. – job creation will be on the rise and employment on the 737 line in Washington will not be re-duced, according to a memo from Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The deal an-nounced Sept. 23 also involves deliver-ing 300 Boeing jets worth $38 billion, nearly double last year’s record delivery of 155 airplanes to China.

Despite the competition and obsta-cles before them, Randy Tinseth, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ vice president for marketing, said in a Sept. 16 Daily Herald report, that selling in the Chinese market depends on the same fundamen-tals as in others: relationships, patience and investment.

For Boeing, all three are covered.

onBoeing and China

Q: What is the most important thing people need to know about China and Boeing?

A: Boeing is competing hard to win sales in China because China will become the world’s largest airplane market in the coming years, and our success there is vital to Boeing pro-duction and employment in the Unit-ed States and Puget Sound. This year, Boeing will deliver about 25 percent of all the airplanes we pro-duce, including about one in three 737s built in Renton, to China. And, over the next 20 years, Boeing has forecast demand there for more than 6,300 new airplanes valued at near-ly $1 trillion. One reason why China’s airlines are growing so rapidly is that its middle class is as large as the en-tire U.S. population yet, on average, people in China travel on airplanes a tenth as often as Americans.

Q: The Chinese economy seems to be struggling. Could this hurt Chinese demand for orders from Boeing?

A: Our forecast for airplane de-mand accounts for fluctuation in markets over a 20-year period. We’re confident that China’s economy and aviation sector will continue to see strong growth over the long term.

Q: What are the factors that de-termine whether Boeing or your competitor sells more airplanes in China?

A: First and foremost, Boeing has to deliver the best and most fuel-efficient airplanes and services to support our customers’ business

plans. In addition, we must continue to grow our 40-year presence and collaboration with China’s aviation industry because this supports our sales opportunities, market access and long-term growth. This is not surprising: Just as Americans like to buy products made in the USA, China and other countries expect Boeing to partner with their industry and contribute to their economies.

Q: Why has Boeing decided to establish a 737 finishing and de-livery center in China?

A: China is the key international market for the 737: This year, Chi-nese carriers will take delivery of one out of every three 737s that our employees build in Renton. With this in mind, a 737 completion and deliv-ery center makes sense for several reasons: it serves Chinese custom-ers by bringing the 737 closer to home, it adds capacity that will en-able our planned production-rate increases in Boeing’s 737 factory in Renton, and it allows us to col-laborate with Chinese industry in a way that supports our access to the China market.

Q: Will this new facility in China cause layoffs in the Puget Sound?

A: No. This facility in China in-creases Boeing’s 737 production capacity and will not result in layoffs or reduce employment for the 737 program. In addition, significant 737 sales to Chinese customers com-bined with this new China-based facility will enable higher 737 pro-duction rates on the 737 program in coming years.

Airplane sales to China are vital to Boeing, its workforce and the region’s prosperity. Boeing has worked with Chinese aviation industry stakeholders - including customers, suppliers, government agencies and others - in mutually beneficial ways for more than 40 years.

Seattle-area heavyweights Boeing and Amazon generate 43% of new Puget Sound Jobs

Q&A

Boeing is a key driver of strong employment growth in the Seattle region over the past five years, according to a new economic study.

he Seattle metro area has experi-enced an impressive 15.5 percent

growth in employment since 2010, with 43 percent of jobs generated by two of the area’s largest employers: Boeing and Amazon, according to a Septem-ber report by the Seattle City Budget Office. In comparison, Washington State has seen 12.5 percent job growth and the U.S. overall 9.7 percent growth during that same time period.

Boeing and Amazon, both of which have had a long-established presence in the Puget Sound area (founded in 1916 and 1994 respectively), are re-

sponsible for the creation of high-skill, high-wage jobs with an average an-nual salary of $100,000 in Seattle and the surrounding areas. The economic robustness of these two major employ-ers over the past five years has been directly linked to the addition of thou-sands of other secondary and tertiary jobs, such as in construction, retail and service sectors, that, when combined, account for a substantial amount of job growth in the region. In light of this, en-suring Boeing and Amazon’s continued success will be a key factor in maintain-ing a healthy regional economy.

ike many Boeing people, 777/777X new hire mechanic Oleksandr

Shevchuk is passionate about air-planes. But what makes him – and 30 other recent hires – different is be-ing part of the inaugural class of high school and skill center graduates join-ing Boeing through a new accelerated hiring and training program.

“Making it to Boeing wasn’t easy,” Shevchuk said. “But as the saying goes, ‘hard work pays off,’ and I’m real excited to be here.”

During a high school career day and tour of the Sno-Isle Tech Skills Center in Everett, Shevchuk caught the aero-space bug. When he graduated in 2015 from high school in Edmonds, while also attending Sno-Isle Tech, he competed in the Washington state Skills USA Aircraft Mechanic Competi-tion and won. He finished top 10 nation-ally in the Skills USA competition.

This all from someone who spoke almost no English when he immigrated to America in 2008. He now speaks, reads and writes in Russian, Ukrainian and English.

He is currently pursing an Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) license and illus-trates the type of talent Boeing needs, Boeing leaders say.

“Today’s manufacturing tools and processes means our workforce must

continually learn and adapt to be suc-cessful,” said Walt Odisho, vice presi-dent of Manufacturing and Safety for Commercial Airplanes. “We can do a better job of attracting top talent and providing opportunities for current and new employees to develop the skills needed to succeed. If we do that, we can extend our reputation as a major hub for aerospace talent while provid-ing great jobs and careers.”

Record produc-tion levels coupled with worker retire-ments on the ho-rizon means Boe-ing expects to hire many more people for manufacturing jobs in Washing-ton state through the end of this de-cade. Boeing is also making invest-ments in advanced manufacturing that will transform the nature of manufac-turing jobs. Those

investments mean more preparation and training for current employees and future hires.

“We are working with our partners to help develop people with the skills needed by aerospace companies,” said Michelle Burreson, senior manager, Workforce Development & Integration at Commercial Airplanes. “By sharpen-ing existing academic partnerships and creating new ones, we can make sure the school curriculum matches the skill needs of employers. So far, we have partnerships with 29 high schools, skill

centers and community and technical colleges in specific skill areas to ensure new hires are career ready.”

Boeing recruiters also have acceler-ated their efforts at Puget Sound schools with strong aerospace programs. In addition to career fairs, information sessions and factory tours, job offers are now presented more quickly to qual-ified individuals. Once hired, employ-ees participate in a five-day enhanced orientation focused on quality and safety followed by hands-on training with Airplane Programs or Boeing Fabrica-tion. The second wave of more than 30 new hires from high schools and skills centers start the program this month.

“The goal of the Pierce Coun-ty Skills Center is to prepare stu-dents for high-wage, high-demand careers,” said Michelle Ledbetter, director, Pierce County Skills Center in Washington state. “Our aerospace manufacturing students are excited about the opportunity to start their ca-reers in manufacturing at Boeing. These are viable, well-paying jobs with great opportunities for professional develop-ment and advancement.”

Shevchuk echoed that senti-ment. “I’m looking forward to starting my Boeing career and taking on some new challenges. And, at some point, pursue a college degree on the company.”

Earlier this year Ray Conner, Commercial Airplanes president and CEO, spoke to more than 50 community college and high school educators about working together to build the future manufacturing workforce in the Puget Sound region.

Boeing taps into high school talent for manufacturing jobs

t’s a video message they will likely nev-er forget. Teenagers involved in more

than half-a-dozen, youth-focused orga-nizations in Washington state learned through a short video message that they’re among the recipients selected to join the Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing this year. The Legion of Youth is a unique community program created in 2014 to provide tickets to the National Football League’s Seattle Seahawks home games to community organiza-tions that serve young people through-out the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

The news was delivered in a video featuring Pete Carroll, Seahawks head coach, and Ray Conner, Boeing Com-

mercial Airplanes president and CEO. Empowering local young people is part of Boeing’s long-standing commitment to giving back to the communities where employees live and work.

“Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing is really a special way for us to recognize local students like you who are commit-ted to school, demonstrating leadership, are active in your local communities and are setting a great example for your peers,” Conner said in the video. “That’s why we’re so excited to let you know that the youth-focused organization you are part of has been selected as one of our 2015 Legion of Youth recipients.”

During each of the eight regular sea-son games at CenturyLink Field in Se-

attle, 25 young people each will receive four game tickets and the opportunity to meet a former Seahawks player. They also are given concession vouchers and a Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing sweatshirt while at the game.

“Legion of Youth is an outstanding program that recognizes students who make positive contributions in the class-room and in the community,” Seahawks President Peter McLoughlin said. “We are pleased to partner with Boeing to provide tickets for deserving youth to be among the 12s on game day at Centu-ryLink Field.”

The Seahawks and Boeing select the community groups that receive the tickets.

Boeing makes $15 million investment in STEM learning

oeing Commercial Airplanes Pres-ident and CEO Ray Conner an-

nounced that Boeing is providing $15 million to create the Boeing Academy for STEM (science, technology, engi-neering and math) Learning at the Mu-seum of Flight . An additional $15 million match was announced by the family of the late Bill Boeing Jr., son of the com-pany founder, bringing the total invest-ment in the museum to $30 million.

The academy being created with the company’s investment represents a vigorous, new STEM-focused edu-cation initiative that aims to double the number of students served by the mu-seum’s immersive programs over the next two years — particularly from com-munities under-represented in STEM fields — and connect them to fulfilling, in-demand careers.

Washington state leads the United States in creating STEM-related jobs, but, by 2017, an estimated 45,000 jobs requiring STEM education in Washing-ton will go unfilled because of a lack

of qualified candidates, according to Washington STEM, a nonprofit organi-zation advocating for increased invest-ment in STEM education.

“This academy will help close that gap, and we are confident the Museum of Flight is the perfect partner to help us expand the pipeline of diverse, talented young STEM professionals in Washing-ton and beyond,” Conner said. “Wheth-er they choose aerospace or not, we’re happy to provide the opportunity, ac-cess and education that will enable them to develop their talents and grow their skills.”

The Boeing Academy for STEM Learning at the Museum of Flight will significantly expand STEM opportuni-ties for Washington’s youths, company and museum officials said. The number of students served by the museum’s educational program is expected to double by 2017 and double again by 2019. Additionally, at least half of those students will be young women, stu-dents of color or economically disad-vantaged, which makes it possible for

young people across the spectrum of the community to develop their talents and share in the promise of a better fu-ture, officials said.

“It allows us to reach more kids, al-lows a lot more kids to be involved in programs that we’ve already done and allows us to expand the program dra-matically to reach underserved audi-ences,” said Doug King, CEO of the Museum of Flight, about Boeing’s in-vestment. “What we find in our immer-

sive programs at the high-school level is that two-thirds of those kids end up go-ing into STEM careers, and more than half of those are aerospace related.”

Meanwhile, June Boeing represent-ed her late husband, Bill Boeing Jr., in announcing the $15 million match.

“He cared so deeply about the edu-cational mission of the museum,” she said of her husband. “He would smile most brightly when in the midst of our eager young learners.”

Children toss paper airplanes to celebrate the announcement of the Boeing Academy for STEM Learning at the Museum of Flight near Seattle.

The Greater Trinity Academy’s new bus purchased with grant money from ECF funds. The bus will be used to transport students who are a part of the GTA Before and After School Program to local schools.

EVERETT — The Greater Trinity Academy (GTA) in Everett re-ceived a $40,000 grant to purchase a new bus to transport stu-dents who are a part of their Before and After School Program to local schools. The bus will also be used to transport GTA students to field trips and other educational opportunities in the community. GTA serves underprivileged kids and families that cannot meet the financial demand of providing quality early childhood education.

SKAGIT — A special funding grant of $17,000 was granted to Community Action Agency of Skagit County, the fiscal agent for Skagit Project Homeless Connect (PHC). PHC is an annual, one-day event that brings together, in a single location, a wide vari-ety of volunteers and free services for homeless people. Direct services provided on site include: hot meals; medical and dental care; vision screening and eyeglass vouchers; haircuts; mental health assessments; substance abuse screening and housing referrals. The funds from ECF will cover the costs of the medi-cal screenings, volunteer t-shirts with the ECF logo, intake forms and tent rentals for the service providers.

Mary’s Place increases its reach

Giving Back...Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund (ECF) of Boeing Puget Sound, employees contribute funding for training for veterans, food for seniors, early learning for low-income children – and much more. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community non-profits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients.

Grant allows EFP’s food storage capability

to expand

$17,000 grant for homelessKING COUNTY — The Emergency Feeding Program (EFP), located in Renton, was granted $40,000 to purchase new warehouse equipment that will expand its ability to store more food, stock inventory of packaging materials and stage food drives. EFP packs and distributes distinct, ethnically sensitive and nutritionally focused bags of non-perishable foods for those in immediate hunger by collaborating with over 200 dis-tributor partners throughout King County. Last year, EFP and their partners packed and delivered over 20,000 bags of food serving over 45,000 people in the Puget Sound region.

SEATTLE — Mary’s Place Seattle was provided $15,000 by Boeing employees for new refrigerators and freezers at their Day Center for home-less women. Mary’s Place empowers homeless women and children to re-claim their lives by providing shelter, nourishment, resources, healing and hope. The new freezers and refrigera-tors replace inadequate equipment and will help Mary’s Place continue to serve its patrons at the Day Shelter and the Night Shelters, and increase their reach to potentially support addi-tional night shelters.

As elementary students march into the crosswalk wearing bright yellow vests and holding orange flags, drivers seemed to be on their best behavior.

“A lot of what we do is teaching manners to folks,” Martin said, watching for drivers mak-ing rolling stops, illegal right turns or not giving pedestrians the right of way.

On average, he said he sees around two or three accidents a day rang-ing from fender benders to serious high-speed crashes.

Martin is the traffic patrol officer for the city, an office which is normally filled by three officers, but due to injuries and reassignments, he is currently the only one.

As Bothell and Ken-more grow, it presents new challenges for offi-cers and city officials try-ing to keep traffic flowing safely and smoothly, and pedestrians out of harm’s way.

Rerouting traffic

In addition to a grow-ing population, new businesses and state route and interstate develop-ment undertaken by the Washington State Department of Transpor-tation on Interstate 405 and State Route 520 have redirected traffic through

roads owned or partially maintained by city mu-nicipalities.

“We’re very concerned about cumulative impacts over time,” said Kenmore public works engineer Kris Overleese.

Although toll lanes on Interstate 405 have only recently been implement-ed, anecdotal evidence from law enforcement, crossing guards and residents suggests it is increasing congestion on auxiliary roads.

The Department of Transportation moni-tors local roads which connect with state-owned routes and interstates.

According to available data, the department saw a five percent year-over-year increase

in traffic on Filbert Road and SR 524

southbound, and a one percent increase north-bound in its most recent measurement during the week of Oct. 12.

Similarly, traffic on 73rd Avenue Northeast in Kenmore was up one percent westbound and three percent eastbound during the same week.

Data on other access points was not avail-able, but a spokeswoman for the Department of Transportation said they will be collecting data for a more comprehensive review early next year, and that it generally takes traffic around six months to a year to figure out new movement patterns.

School zones concern locals

More cars may be in-creasing traffic in school zones, Bothell resident Elizabeth Stall said. She said traffic has become more chaotic lately, par-ticularly around North-east 160th Street near Woodmoor Elementary School and Northshore Junior High School.

“It seems like almost every day I see someone run a red light at that intersection, or drive through the crosswalk when kids and a guard are in the crosswalk,” she said.

Standing on the inter-section of 121st Avenue Northeast and Northeast 160th Street on a recent

afternoon, crossing guard Cheryl Albertson said earlier that day she had to pull a child crossing the street out of the path of a driver who could have hit him while making a right turn.

“They were looking (left), looking for cars,” she said. “I don’t think the car ever even saw us.”

Albertson said most drivers try to obey traffic laws, including driving 20 mph in school zones and yielding the right-of-way to pedestrians, but that she often sees people blowing through red lights, turning while people are in the cross-walks and trying to sneak around traffic laws.

“I’ll tell people ‘You need to wait,’ and some-times they’ll shake their head and do it anyway,” she said.

Martin said he sees the most violations when parents are running behind and trying to get their kids to school.

Northshore School District spokeswoman Leanna Albretch said her district has been noticing more drivers on the roads too, to which she urged caution.

“Please slow down, follow traffic rules and let’s keep everyone safe,” she said.

More crowded schools are also part of the problem. The Northshore School District is looking at creating another school in the next few years to help alleviate the crowd-ing and traffic, Martin said.

SolutionsTo help control traffic

violations, Bothell police officers have been set-ting up speed traps and measures around school zones, crosswalks and other problem areas. These include patrols by Martin, but also large signs which not only show a drivers speed, but collect data even when the sign is off.

This allows officers to pinpoint times when traffic is heavier or faster, allowing them to find even in-dividual drivers who disregard traffic laws.

Martin said on his own, he

can only make it to each of Bothell’s more than fifteen schools at the beginning of the day or when they get out, once every two weeks.

“There’s just not enough of me,” he said, although he said in his 16 years as an officer, the last four in Bothell, he’s never seen a serious crash in a school zone.

Bothell Police Capt. Bob Woolverton said they are actively trying to recruit officers to fill the vacant traffic posi-tions, but two recruits failed to make it through the intensive, math-heavy courses required. The de-partment is still searching for recruits.

Bothell city engineer Jamal Mahmoud said an-other problem facing the stretch of road around Northshore Junior High is a lack of consistent signs from before the city annexed the area. His department is plan-ning on installing more school zone and speed limit signs in the area to alert drivers to the two

schools.Between Jan. 1, 2014

and Oct. 10, 2015, there were 15 pedestrian-involved traffic incidents in the city of Bothell. Of those, Woolverton said two were severe with many of the others being relatively minor acci-dents.

In Kenmore dur-ing the same period, there were more than ten pedestrian-involved crashes. After multiple pedestrian deaths in early 2014, the Kenmore City Council voted to enact a pedestrian version of the state-wide Target Zero initiative, focusing on eliminating pedestrian deaths in the city.

“As a community, we helped create a program. Some policies and proj-ects that we could do to increase safety,” Kenmore community relations manager Leslie Harris said.

So far in 2015, there has been only one death in Kenmore, after a bicyclist turned in front of a cement truck along the Burke-Gilman Trail in September. City manager Rob Karlinsey said he doesn’t know why the cyclist turned in front of the truck and the incident is still under investigation by the King County Sheriff ’s Office.

Similar to the Washing-ton State Patrol’s Target Zero program, which focuses on traffic deaths in the state, Kenmore’s initiative focuses educa-tion, enforcement and engineering to tackle their problem. Bothell city officials said they also focus on these as-pects to improve safety in their city.

City officials from both municipalities are also looking at future public transportation expansion by way of future Sound Transit development in the area, which could help reduce congestion by bringing more park-and-ride busses and infrastructure that would connect to the proposed light transit rail.

Even as officials are working to create safer roads for drivers and pedestrians, Bothell City Councilwoman Tris Samberg said the key is in changing people’s behavior.

“It lies in all of us to be aware of how our driving habits effect the quality of life in our neighbor-hoods,” she said.

said Allen.The jury took two votes,

with the first yielding only one juror voting ‘guilty,’ the second vote unani-mously acquitted Thomp-son.

Allen told the press after the verdict that his client looks forward to going back to work at the Bothell Police Depart-ment.

An internal investiga-tion was launched by the Bothell Police Depart-ment, but Thompson was cleared and will return to work on Nov. 9.

Thompson was accused of having sex with the girl, who is now a male, mul-tiple times in a marked police car, which was al-legedly an abuse of power court documents said.

Dione Thompson has

been with the department for more than 17 years af-ter she was hired in 1998.

Distracted driving kills 11 teen drivers a day

According to the Depart-ment of Transportation, 11 teen drivers die everyday due to distracted driv-ing. Distracted driving is the cause of 21 percent of accidents involving teen drivers. At any given time, approximately 660,000 drivers are attempting to use their cell phones while driving. Distracted driving is six times more likely to cause an accident than drunk driving, while teens are already four times more likely to get in an accident. That makes every teen four times more likely to get in an accident if distracted than an adult. Being a teen driver, I get scared for my own life and others lives when I see people driv-ing distracted be it on the highway, back roads, or in town.

Distracted driving is not limited to just your cell phone. It also includes putting on makeup, eating, drinking, talking to passen-gers, reading and adjusting your GPS, adjusting the radio station, changing the volume, and so many more. Distracted driving is as dangerous as being blindfolded while walking across a narrow log. Dis-tracted driving is a problem because it is now the lead-ing cause of teen deaths in the United States at more than 3,000 fatalities a year. Among the 3,000 deaths, there are 300,000 injuries due to distracted driving.

Don’t text anyone while

driving, don’t call anyone while driving, don’t use your phone while driving, don’t put makeup on while driving. I want us to be the generation that ends distracted driving. When you are in your car, put your cell phone down, get the volume on your music at the right level before you put your car in drive, keep your eyes on the road. If you get a text and it’s just that important, pull over and respond, don’t respond while you’re driving. This subject is important for teens in the United States because at some point in their lives, they will all drive. As a teen driver, I see people driving distracted every day and I can’t help but wonder what is more important than your own or another humans life.Cheyanne Canell, Woodinville

Help change the discrimination against women

Imagine walking down the street in broad daylight and having a constant fear that someone is going to stop you and do horrific things to you just because of your gender. Or that just because of your gender, you are thought of a lesser being and told to know your place in society. This is a constant thing I struggle with just because I am a woman. Does being a woman make me less then everyone else? Does it make me incapable? Or is it simply being born a woman that makes it’s ok to be discriminated against?

Growing up, I was always told that I could be

anything I set my mind to, but that was a lie. I was constantly told to know my place, to let the boys take care of it, and most of all I was told that what I wanted to do was a man’s job. One example happened to me in grade school. I was a fifth grader at the time, barely even eleven and about the same height as I am now. I wanted to play flag football with all the guys at recess. There was maybe five of us girls and around fifteen scrawny boys on the grassy field that sat behind the school. We got put on teams and I clearly remem-ber being the only girl on my team and thinking to myself, “I’m going to show these boys that I’m just as capable as they are.” Well, the first game came around and the team immediately benched me and had me stand on the sideline of the makeshift football field. I’m not going to lie, I was hurt but I had to keep a straight face so I could show them I was capable. They com-plained to the teachers that they didn’t want me on their team because I was a girl and I was going to slow them down. They didn’t want me on their team because I was a girl.

I could go on and on about how unfair some things are for women, but that wouldn’t do anything. I could talk about how unfair it is that women have to pay extra for skin care, hair products, or anything of that sort. I could talk about our pay is lower, but

I would be reminded that you have already heard this before. So that leaves me in this spot of frustra-tion, if you tell me that you want women to be equal why leave these things out? Why not make a change and help women out all over the world? I could talk about this fear that almost all women have of being alone. I don’t mean ending up alone what I mean is walking down the street alone or even with another person and being taken advantage of. This fear has been with most women all their life and constantly drilled into our heads, why? The answer is simple, because we are women. I among other women fear of being sexualy harrased because we have breasts. Women shouldn’t have to be worried that if th ey have lack of clothing, people will sexualize them, and we shouldn’t be told that the way we dress is more important than our education. Let me say that again, women should not be told that their bodies and clothing are more im-portant than their educa-tion. I really want to stress this to you, my education matters more to me than how I dress. I hate how women are constantly told that we need to go put on makeup, lose some weight, show some skin but also don’t show skin and pretty much be a whole different person.

To be completely honest I know there are some

people who do fight for women’s rights out there and for that I thank you. But what I am trying to say is that women everywhere need help, our rights have been taken from us and we would like them back. I want the next genera-tion of girls to have better opportunities than I have. I want them to be able to accomplish whatever they have their hearts and minds set on. So I need you to give every person no matter what gender, race, sexual orientation, religion they come from a chance to accomplish their dreams. Overlook your automatic assumptions about what a woman is capable of vs. a man. Next time you instinctively presume, “she’s a woman, so she’s probably better off trying to be a nurse rather than a doctor.” Or anything along those lines, rethink the common gender bias and think how you can help everyone. We tell kids they can be what-

ever they want to be when they grow up, however when they do gr ow up all that is taken from them. So please understand that if we want to make this world a better place we need to make serious changes that better this generation and the next.

Before I end I want to remind us all of a quote by Mahatma Gandhi, “You have to be the change you wish to see in the world.” So let’s be that change and show the younger gen-eration of females that this world isn’t as scary as it use to be, let’s be the genera-tion that fights for people’s rights, let’s be the genera-tion that makes things right and finally let’s all be the change in this world so no one is discriminated against. We can make this right, we can be the small pebble that causes a big ripple of change. We can do this.Allison Renninger, Bothell

Junior High School stu-dents clad in blue helmets and jerseys mill around North Creek Sportsfield No. 4 in Bothell on a Wednesday night. Foot-balls tumble through the air, lit up by powerful sta-dium lights illuminating the field and brilliantly contrasting it against the darkening autumn sky.

An SUV pulls up and a man in a stylized orange construction hoodie hops out and begins tossing tackle dummies over the short chain link fence onto the field.

Walking onto the turf, players mill around him, cracking jokes and asking questions as he starts preparing for practice. By 7 p.m., they’re jogging across the field and warming up.

This is how 26-year-old head coach Kevin Quackenbush, and five other former Bothell High School graduates, spend three of their nights every week during the season, volunteering as football coaches for the Bothell Cougar Junior Football team comprised of 7th and 8th grade athletes.

With three practices a week during the school year, five a week during preseason and a game every Saturday, coaching is a big commitment.

“It’s busy. It’s a lot of time getting out here, but it’s not too bad out here a couple nights a week,” said assistant coach Nick Cornell. “Obviously we love the sport. It’s nice to help these guys get better.”

All six coaches are in their mid-20s and gradu-ated Bothell High School in 2007, where they tossed around the idea of returning after college to coach in their hometown.

After graduating from Washington State Uni-versity with a criminal

justice degree, Kevin circled back to that

idea in 2011, and after proposing it to the other guys, managed to get

them together for the 2011-12 season.

They made it to the playoffs that year, playing against another Bothell team, then coached by the System Director for Both-ell Junior Football Patrick Haberkamp.

“The one thing that I always see both at practic-es and at games is they’re very high spirited, a very rambunctious group, which I think really trans-fers over to their players,” Haberkamp said.

A love of football unites the coaches, who hope to move on to coaching high school in the next few years, ideally as a team.

“It’d be nice to stay as a group,” Quackenbush

said. “We work well to-gether.”

And all that work may be paying off this year. The Cougars are 6-1, with their eyes on post-season games beginning on Oct. 31.

“This is probably the best team we’ve had all four years,” said Quack-enbush.

Both Quackenbush and Cornell have been playing football since they were kids, and said they’re happy to be back on the green.

The six work vari-ous jobs ranging from construction to staff at Harborview during the day, and coaching affords them a way to keep in touch with each other and their home town.

Quackenbush has a few reasons why he keeps coming back to coach.

“Being around with a great group of kids and just the coaching staff,” he said. “Throwing the balls around and being with my friends five days a week.”

But coaching isn’t only drills and prac-tice, Haberkamp said. It involves scheduling, organizing, dealing with and managing people and bureaucracies.

“I think they do a really good job of balancing those responsibilities,” he said.

Haberkamp also believes football is also

more than just a game to the junior athletes.

“It’s also the fact that you have to learn to work with 11 people on the field simultaneously, and everyone has to do their little job to get the big job done,” he said.

As the Cougars head into this year’s post season, both coaches and players seem optimistic for what the future holds, and soon both the players and coaches may be mov-ing up to higher turf.

PUBLIC NOTICES

BY AARON KUNKLER

[email protected]

By all accounts Don Lilly, owner and mastermind behind

Global Fiberglass Solu-tions, doesn’t � t the tradi-tional mold of the indus-trial business owner.

Despite owning a quickly-growing � berglass recycling business, Lilly says he studied sociology while attending the Uni-versity of Nebraska. It’s only been within the last half-decade the 50-year-old Bothell resident has taught himself chemistry and engineering.

“I didn’t start out looking to be a decommissioning expert in wind turbine blades,” he said with a laugh, sitting in a confer-ence room at his business’s new headquarters in the Canyon Park business park.

Arranged on the � oor around him is a large sec-tion of a � berglass wind-mill turbine blade. � is is Lilly’s bread and butter.

Around six years ago, he and his partner Ken Wey-

ant began exploring how to recycle the 16,000-pound blades, keeping them out of land� lls where he said they can take more than 500 years to decompose.

� ey soon discovered that instead of simply re-cycling the � berglass, they could grind it down, mix it with other agents, and use it for a wide variety of products.

“Within that process, it turned out that this ended up being a very good mate-rial,” he said.

� is new material is already being used to cre-ate subway rail ties, utility poles, � ooring, particle board and even manhole covers.

Karl Englund, a re-searcher from Washington State University, has been working closely with Lilly to develop his process for about a year.

“We’ve looked at how we can use these things as functional � llers, or get them into a size or a form that can be used for a vari-ety of di� erent processes,”

he said.While the environmental

impact of � berglass may not be toxic or hazardous like other land� ll-bound products, there are compel-ling reasons to look into recycling.

“What it really amounts to is just the sheer volume of it,” Englund said. “You start putting that kind of stu� into your land� lls, and your land� ll life starts go-ing down faster and faster.”

Lilly’s reapplication process was patented in May, and he’s moving fast. Once his processing plant is completed, it’s expected to create up to 250 jobs in the Bothell area.

Already, he said he’s talking with the federal De-partment of Energy about a contract, the Environ-mental Protection Agency about recycling credits and developers all across the world who want to use his materials, as well as sell their � berglass to him.

Where his business really shines is in how Global Fi-berglass Solutions acquires

their raw material, Lilly said.

When wind turbine blades are decommis-sioned, they are usually transported to a land� ll as ‘oversized loads,’ where they are subject to trans-portation and dumping fees. Lilly buys these blades directly from the wind farms, where workers saw down the blades into easily-movable segments and moves them himself.

He only charges the company what their normal costs would be for disposing of the blades themselves, but there’s ic-ing on the cake, too.

Global Fiberglass Solu-tions was certi� ed as a WasteWise company by the

Environmental Protec-tion Agency, so companies which sell their � berglass to him receive recycling credits from the Environ-mental Protection Agency.

According to Washing-ton Waste Management, large items like windmill blades take up valuable space in state land� lls, many of which are pro-jected to � ll within the century.

Cost and environmental savings are two reasons Lilly believes clients were so interested in doing busi-ness with him, including many European corpora-tions.

“We were not only surprised at how much interest they had, but they

started to jump on board right away,” he said.

Global Fiberglass com-posites may eventually help push other industry staples from their throne. In particular, steel and wood have been used as essential building materials, but Lilly says as companies utilize more and more � berglass, the need for a recycling process becomes even more important.

He said some of his repurposed � berglass com-posites are nearly as strong as steel at 19,000 pounds-per-square-inch pressure ratings.

Finally, Lilly said he’s developed a mobile pro-duction platform, which can be driven anywhere in the country and can break down and process � ber-glass, and then turn it into usable products, like sub-way ties, on the spot. Once processed and poured in a mold, the new products can be used within two hours.

“� is is more than any-one has done anywhere,” he said.

Lilly’s business partner Weyant passed away earlier this year, and Lilly said their chemistry laid the foundation for their busi-ness’s success.

“We could get in a room and by the time we got out of there, we would have a pretty good idea of what the next steps would be,” he said.

As for teaching himself chemistry and engineering while launching an indus-try revolution, he had some thoughts on that as well: “We live in the day of the internet. � ere really isn’t anything you can’t learn if you put your mind to it.”
