Odle Middle School Principal Eric McDowell enjoys

traveling with his wife, who works for a travel company, during his vacation time. � e Bellevue School District employee has explored many di� erent countries around the world and loves to learn about other cultures. � at

spirit of adventure and inquisitive nature will serve him well when he starts his new position in Bothell on July 1 — as Northcreek High School’s � rst ever principal.

At North Creek High School, Northshore School District’s (NSD) fourth comprehensive high school, McDowell will o� cially begin his tenure as the plan-ning principal, transitioning

to principal when the school opens in 2017.

“It is equal parts excite-ment and sadness,” said Mc-Dowell, who is 50. “Bellevue is a fantastic district and they have been super supportive. But this is an amazing oppor-tunity. How o� en does a new high school get built?”

McDowell has worked in the Bellevue School District (BSD) during his entire

22-year career. His passion for education has led him to many positions within the BSD, including math teacher, activities director, Link Crew coordinator, K-12 math curriculum developer and Highland Middle School assistant principal.

However, he was not always so excited about education. It wasn’t until a� er he graduated from high

school in South Dakota and moved to Minnesota that he stumbled into his calling.

“I started o� as an actuary with an insurance company in Minnesota,” said McDow-ell, who moved around a lot during his childhood as his father was in the military. “I became a neighborhood volunteer and tutor. A ‘big brother’ to a boy named

� e second consecutive Kenmore Hydroplane Cup returns to the Sammamish Slough on April 11, at Log Boom Park and the Kenmore Boat Launch.

“We are excited for the re-turn of the race exhibition to Kenmore,” said Mayor David Baker. “� is event not only

signi� es history, but show-cases the future of Kenmore as the city works diligently to improve access to the water and create more recreational opportunities for the entire community to enjoy.”

� e north end of Lake Washington will feature the newly renovated Kenmore Boat Launch and Log Boom Park renovations, though the timed exhibition races, host-

ed in cooperation between the city of Kenmore and the Seattle Outboard Association, will be the big headliner.

“� e Association has a lot of passion for the history of the Sammamish Slough Rac-es,” Baker said. “Many of the members grew up racing or watching family and friends race down the Sammamish Slough. � ere is excitement among the Association to

restore and share the tradi-tion with new a generation of family, friends and the larger community.”

Regional Fire Authority proposal sparks debateBY DEANNA ISAACS

[email protected]

For months, the North-shore Fire Department, Snohomish District No. 10, the city of Bothell Fire and EMS and Woodinville Fire and Rescue have been looking into whether or not the local area would bene� t from a Regional Fire Authority, rather than the current system of separate districts. A third party report was released at the end of March concerning the risks and bene� ts of

combining districts into an RFA.

“I think the RFA feasibil-ity study has done a good job of putting together the conditions of the current � re agencies and what could happen if they do join together,” said Bothell Fire Chief Bob Van Horne. “� e next thing that will happen, should all agencies decide to proceed, … [is] a time for planning.”

Consulting International, states that there are poten-tial risks and benefits to the proposal, but that overall the community would greatly benefit from merging the fire organizations.

“One of the things about having one agency is you have a single set of policies, a single training focus, and you’d be holding all your employees accountable to the same standards. That doesn’t currently exist in all cases,” said Northshore Fire Chief Jim Torpin. “You’d have one set of practices that would be adopted. You’re talking about three differ-ent departments that all do things relatively similar, but there are subtle differences that can impact how well an incident goes, but it’s not dramatic.”

Some of the risks, or ‘criti-cal concerns’ as the report states, include increased cost to citizens through tax rates or benefit charges, absorb-ing the financial liabilities of other districts and loss of control over local matters.

A few critical items seemed to be deal breakers for many districts, including whether or not Bothell par-ticipates or if Bothell retains only partial funding for their fire services.

While financials are a huge issue within the RFA, both in costs to the citizens and costs between departments, there would, theoretically, be a decrease in costs after the initial setup phase.

“There are some redun-dant positions that would have to be maintained dur-ing a transition period then phased out during attrition,” Torpin said. “The good news is the number of firefight-ers needed will not change and there will be some transfer of some mid-level managers that would be transferred back to the line, which would be a benefit … [of] increased boots on the street.”

As redundant positions are merged and extraneous personnel moved around or let go, the costs of doing business will decrease. Such positions may be the fire chief positions, as there are four between the depart-ments that would merge to one if the RFA, training positions and other such personnel.

“The RFA Planning Committee also maintained personnel from redundant positions to address the transition workload associ-ated with combining four agencies into one,” the report

read. “This defers the sav-ings that would accrue for the five identified redundant positions until such time as attrition eliminates these positions or on a date estab-lished by the RFA.”

While the initial costs of the merger may be high, in time, the trimming of posi-tions and other redundan-cies should be decreasing costs. The report recom-mends the positions not be kept longer than three years.

Costs to citizens has been a larger concern in Bothell, where they have brought their issues before the City Council during weekly meetings.

“When will the City Council discuss refunding to the citizens the money that is currently used to pay for fire services, if the RFA pass-es, specifically the $1.000 per $1,000 for assessed values,” said Sandy Glen, citizen of Bothell. “Otherwise, citizens will be paying twice for the services they receive.”

Further complicating the matter are the debts and reserves the different depart-ments ‘have. Northshore’s new fire department, which the report has stated should be the new RFA headquar-ters, still has bond debt that would be spread across all areas should the RFA be

formed. The city of Bothell has also stated, via the pro-posal, that it can’t afford to transfer the additional cash to match the contributions from other districts in order to start up the RFA, though they could make it up in nine to ten years.

“Change is difficult, but, as I’ve been looking at this, usually opportunities have to be backed up with the courage to move into the

unknown and with the thinking that it will become a better model of providing EMS services for the future,” Van Horne said.

While there are risks and benefits to the proposed RFA, the plan wouldn’t go into effect for quite a while. First, the departments and RFA commission have to approve or decline the plan. Then the cities will be able to approve of or decline the

RFA. Then, finally, the citi-zens would have the option to vote on the proposal.

“What the citizens will be voting on is the plan; it will have governs, op-erations, it will include the financial package,” Van Horne said. “This plan will probably take as long as what we’ve already spent. None of this will happen without the citizens voting to approve it.”

The city of Kenmore was awarded $2.1 million in grant funding for new sidewalks and sidewalk improvements.

“Pretty excited to be able to provide these improve-ments for the community. Bringing this amount of money back to the com-munity for sidewalks is a noteworthy achieve-ment,” said Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey in an email.

The funding, given by the Puget Sound Regional Council, King County, the Washington State Depart-ment of Transportation and the State Transporta-tion Improvement Board, will be going towards four projects around Kenmore.

The projects funded through the grants include the streets on the south side of Northeast 181st Street from 68th to 73rd Avenue, streets on the north side of Northeast 181st Street from 68th to

73rd Avenue, the area of Northeast 202nd Street from 68th Avenue North-east to Kenmore Junior High School, and a section of 62nd Avenue North-east from Northeast 181st Street to Northeast 187th Street, though construc-tion is not expected to start right away.

The grant for the Northeast 202nd Street sidewalk project is in limbo, pending approval of the budget by State Legislature.

“...Folks can let their legislators know that the project is a prior-ity for our community,” Karlinsey said in email.

The city-required funding of $556,000 was amended into the Capital Improvement Program, adding the new sidewalk project allocations, during the Feb. 23 meeting of the Kenmore City Council.

“The city continues to aggressively pursue grant funding to complete safety projects that will enhance

facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists and other modes of alternative transporta-tion,” said Kenmore Mayor David Baker.

Of course, the city is interested in making the roads safer for everyone, not just pedestrians.

“All of the sidewalk improvement projects will evaluate the ability to

include bicycle improve-ments which could

include bicycle lanes and sharrows [roadway borne sign of chevrons

with a bike],” Karlinsey said. “Also,

reducing the real estate (lane widths and shoul-der) for vehicles tends to slow them down which is a benefit to all modes of transportation.”

While this is a big win in finding the funding for safer streets in Kenmore, there is still more to go. The city has applied for grant funding for side-walks along the section of Northeast 155th Street, between Inglemoor High

school and Moorlands Elementary, and also a portion of 68th Av-enue Northeast between Northeast 170th Street and the Sammamish River. However, the city was not successful in getting those projects funded through grants.

Though the city has secured funding for the sidewalks, first they must design and plan the construction projects. Scheduling will have to be considered, too, as the major improvements along the west end of Highway 522 are set to start up soon.

“Later this year, the city will have a focused community conversation regarding multimodal transportation and parks to determine if there are improvements the commu-nity desires to pay for that are not feasible given cur-rent resources,” Karlinsey said. “The city is currently scoping this process and expects to actively engage the community, likely this summer.”

Students from Bothell High School (BHS) have been identified as the pri-mary suspects in the rash of hate-filled vandalism that hit the area in February.

The Bothell Police Department’s resource officer assigned to BHS found the leads based on interviews with students. Three students, all of whom are minors, have been identified as suspects in the vandalism.

The vandalism in ques-tion occurred on Feb. 15, and targeted the Bothell Hindu Temple and Cultural Center and also two build-ings at Skyview Junior High School. All the vandalism exhibited a swastika along with one of the following phrases: “Get out,” “Mus-lims get out” and “Muslims be gone.”

In initial contact with the suspects, two declined to be

interviewed by police while the third admitted to being involved in the vandalism.

While there have been calls from the community to have the case investi-gated has hate speech, along with a much stiffer punish-ment associated with hate crimes, authorities have been investigating the case as Malicious Harassment, not hate speech.

Malicious harassment is a Class C felony, with a maximum punishment of up to five years in a state correctional facility, a fine of no less than $10,000 or both, depending on what the court finds accept-able. Victims of malicious harassment may also seek further protections or rem-edies under the law.

The case is being in-vestigated by Snohomish County Sheriff ’s office and the Bothell Police Depart-ment with full coopera-tion from the Northshore School District.

Thank you to the Bothell City Council for new developments

Recently, the Bothell City Council voted to sell surplus land to create yet another great develop-ment in our downtown, this time the anchor tenant will be a specialty grocer that citizens have been demanding for years.

� is is great news for our city. It also comes on the heels of the exciting news that McMenamins will be opening on Oct. 15 of this year. � e McMe-namins development will include the � rst movie theater in Bothell in decades, restaurants, pubs, a spa and a 73 room hotel. For the last several years, our citizens have come together and envisioned what they wanted our downtown to be and, now, that vision is coming to life. We are cleaning up con-taminated properties, preserving historic structures and creating a vibrant downtown.

� ank you to our city council, Mayor Joshua Freed and Bothell city sta� for implementing what we asked for! � ere’s still more to be done and I’m sure that more discussions will be held to work out yet more details of the proposed developments. Not everyone will get what they want (it’s called democ-racy), but we will all bene� t.Michael P. Challenger, Bothell

BHS, NSD needs a better recycling program

Bothell High School has a huge problem and we need to � x it. Surveys have shown that, “School waste is up to 80 percent recyclable.” If you think about all the schools in the world that don’t recycle that is a lot of biodegradable material being hauled into land� lls. Although we are just one school, we do contribute to this problem.

I have seen a lot of recyclable and compostable material being thrown away into the trash each day by people all around the school. � ere are 21 trash bins and only � ve recycle bins available to students during lunch at Bothell High School.

We don’t o� er easy access to recycle bins for sepa-rating trash due to the fact that they are detached from the trash bins.

Brooke Halverson, an Earth Club member here at BHS said that, “High School is stressful and stressing out about your trash is not something any-one wants to do.” If it was easier to sort your trash maybe it wouldn’t be so stressful.

In addition to the many problems surrounding the school’s waste management system, custodial sta� member Lamin Ceesay said that many kids put their trash into the recycling bins. When clueless kids put trash in the recycle bins it is all just thrown away.

� e kitchen sta� manager, Bev Huizenga, men-tioned that, “All of our [food]boats that we put the food in are compostable.” However, no big di� er-ence can be made if the food is being thrown away in the trash, taken to a land� ll and mixed in with plastic and other garbage.

“For me to compost or recycle all the kitchens (in the district) they all have to come on board,” Huizenga said.

If any change is to be made in relation to our waste disposal it will have to come from the district’s school board.

We have the power as a school to petition the district to replace each garbage bin with three bins that say compost, recycling and land� ll. We also need to bring this petition to the other schools in the district.

We need to take charge of Bothell High School to get other schools in the Northshore School District on board for better waste management options. I can just imagine the di� erence that a few separate colored bins or labels could do.

Proper waste management should not only be implemented but taught in school from a young age as well. We need to change societies habits now to re� ect better example to future generations.

Time for Freed and Lamb to step aside

I read with great interest your article titled “Both-ell mayor triggers con� ict of interest investigation” from the March 20 edition.

Wow! Why are these guys in city government? Apparently, it is so they can take personal pro� t from a position of in� uence.

Why did it take nine months for [Mayor Joshua] Freed to recuse himself from the proceedings on the golf course property? And [Councilman Mark] Lamb had to discuss the issue with city attorney and still waited until asked to o� er his recusal.

So why so much secrecy around Element Resi-dential? And [Bothell City Manage] Bob Stowe is to push ahead with an investigation into potential con� icts of interest? Sounds like the fox guarding the hen house. How about an independent inves-tigation? All of this has the appearance of, if not downright illegal acts, then improper and deceitful.

Lamb has been there before. Apparently Freed is on the same path. � e acts of these people is an embarrassment to the citizens of Bothell. It is past time for Freed and Lamb to step aside and resign.

It is time for a transparent, legal and moral gov-ernment for our city.Steve Collins, Bothell

Investigation of council, mayor can’t come soon enough

� e possible sale of the back-nine of the Wayne Golf Course has been in the news for the last three to six months. � e Bothell Planning Commission and the Bothell City Council have had “standing-room-only” meetings in recent weeks. When our own mayor admitted that he had an interest in de-veloping the back-nine of the Wayne Golf Course, the requests for a full independent investigation was voiced by many citizens and council members alike.

It was the time when our own City Council should have been � nding a way to keep this last open space for our city and Bothell citizens. � e mayor and his crony’s found a way in executive ses-sion not to exercise the right to buy. � ey also did not divulge the information to the public that there was no speci� c money for the immediate purchase of the back-nine. Instead, they had a front-row seat, behind the scenes in executive session, in an attempt to buy and then develop this magni� cent open space. � e con� ict of interest could not have been more obvious, as well as the violation of public

trust. It appears that some City Council members and the city manager are making decisions based on personal agendas. Perhaps the investigation should come from the state for full disclosure.

So what’s next? Paving over the back-nine with houses and roads? During the last few years, there have been hundreds of homes built just to the south of the golf course and many new ones are being developed right now. Many of those homes also have our mayor and his development companies in-volved. � e public has just recently found out that there has been no transparency in the City Planning Commission and City Council meetings, concern-ing these developments. Many of the meeting agendas were not even sent to citizens living right next to the proposed development. � e city said it was a “clerical” error. Are there legal considerations involved here? And, especially, are there ethical considerations involved? If the mayor was truly a citizen of Bothell he would be � ghting to keep this last open space. Instead, it appears to be the citizens against the developers - the mayor and his crony’s.

Beyond the Bothell citizens, there is also a wildlife issue. � ese include: deer, coyotes, eagles, beavers, muskrats, otters, waterfowl, blue herons, and of course � sh. All of the present wildlife has been “herded” onto the back-nine where they ap-pear every day. � ey have been forced to congregate there, because there has been “clear-cutting” of all the trees in the housing developments to the south. Water runo� is also a serious problem on the steep hillside, and now we have tra� c gridlock on Waynita and 100th Avenue because of the new homes. It’s obvious there should be no new develop-ment along the Sammamish River, including the back-nine of the golf course. � is open space can-not be duplicated.

� e credibility of the council activities, and their “Economic Development Committee,” may already be damaged for years to come. It’s obvious from the newspapers, radio and the public meetings that we have a serious problem. � e more quickly an investigation can be done, the better. All real estate dealings with the council and their contractors, including housing developments and city buildings are necessary. � en it is likely the citizens will feel justi� ed and satis� ed with their elected o� cials and feel they have a voice.Dr. Robert Tadlock, Bothell

The investigation into the questionable acts by Bothell Mayor

Joshua Freed, in regards to the purchase of the back-nine of the Wayne Golf Course, by a third party has already begun.

“The Washington Cities Insurance Authority, work-ing with the City Attorney, has appointed outside counsel to conduct the independent investigation,” Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe said in an email.

While the investigation into the entire council has only just begun, more details have come to light that put in question the purchase by an, as yet,

unnamed entity associated with Freed.

The biggest question is when the unnamed com-pany started negotiations and with what companies.

According to state record, on Feb. 5 Freed created a new entity called ‘Wayne Manor LLC’ with North Creek Law Firm, owned and operated by Council-member Mark Lamb, as the registered agent. In most of the organizations owned and operated by Freed, ei-ther Freed, Lamb or Lamb’s North Creek Law Firm, are the sole registered agents.

Of the 22 organizations Freed is listed as partici-pating in, 10 have himself as the registered agent, 10 have Mark Lamb or the North Creek Law Firm as

registered agent, including the Wayne Manor LLC, and there are two organizations listed a man from Lake Ste-vens as the registered agent.

Lamb has stated that he is not involved with the group that holds a purchase and sale agreement to buy the back-nine property and failed to correct the record when he was asked to recuse himself from city council due to his connec-tions to the property sale.

The Reporter has also found that the Wayne Golf Course properties have never been listed publicly with an MLS. According to a source at the Commercial Broker’s Association in Seattle, the Wayne property hasn’t been publicly listed with an MLS since 1998.

The representative of the Commercial Broker’s Association also noted that, other than an MLS, there are a few uncommon ways that properties are publicly listed, including street signs stating intent to sell.

Freed declined to com-ment due to the ongoing in-vestigation being conducted by the Washington Cities Insurance Authority, along with Bothell’s city attorney, Joe Beck.

Some in the community have suggested that the state get involved in the investigation.

A representative of the Washington State Attorney General’s office stated that they can neither confirm nor deny they have started an investigation into the

issue until any potential investigation is concluded.

As the third party investi-gation by the Washington Cities Insurance Authority into the matter is under-way, the Reporter has been inundated with letters to the editor from citizens on different sides of the Wayne fence.

“Wow! Why are these guys in city government? Apparently, it is so they can take personal profit from a position of influence,” said Steve Collins of Bothell in his letter. “Why did it take nine months for [Mayor Joshua] Freed to recuse himself from the proceed-ings on the golf course property? And [Council-man Mark] Lamb had to discuss the issue with city

attorney and still waited until asked to offer his recusal.”

While there have been many on the side of con-demning councilmembers actions concerning the Wayne, there are those who are supportive as well.

“Mayor Joshua Freed has been a key leader in the revitalization for the city of Bothell... Mayor Freed is a strong and positive leader who is also success-ful in his business,” said SL Pistole of Bothell in a letter. “I actually want leaders in government who under-stand the private sector and have made a living from something other than tax-payer dollars. Joshua Freed is a great mayor and Bothell is the better for it.”

Bothell council investigation begins, some suggest state should be involved

The city of Bothell has received word that the Richard’s family, owners of the Wayne Golf Course, has declined the city’s offer for the front-nine of the property.

In an email from City Manager Bob Stowe, he stated that the Richards had declined the city’s first offer.

What this means for the property’s future, no one knows.

There’s still the option for another party to come and keep it as a golf course, however the back-nine’s potential developer, an organization affiliated with Bothell Mayor Joshua Freed, wants to build houses while gifting some back to the city for trails connecting Blythe Park to the rest of Bothell.

As for the front-nine, the option to rezone four acres that are not part of the conservation easement will move in front of the council

later this year. According to the City’s

Planning and Development site, the city won’t take the issue of rezon-ing up until at least July 2015, after the city has adopted the 2015 Periodic Plan and Code Update. The amendment request to rezone could take as long as early 2016.

The original plan, as stated by the Richards family, is to rezone the property so that the own-ers (whether the Richard’s or a de-veloper) can build 76 townhomes and renovate the current clubhouse and restaurant. Though, depending on the offers by potential buyers, the plans may change.

While the family has declined the initial offer,

the quest for a new Bothell park is not over, nor is the Richard’s support for the public preservation of the

Wayne.No one from

the Richards fam-ily has returned the Reporter’s request for com-ment.

“We are willing to have separate non-exclusive discussions about your possible acquisition of these properties independent of your Right of First Opportu-nity to Purchase contained in Section 17 of the aforementioned Conservation Easement,” the Richard’s fam-

ily said in a letter to One Bothell.

OneBothell is a group of Bothell residents attempt-ing to keep the golf course

as open space, either as a park or maintained as a golf course.

The Richards family also expressed their support for OneBothell’s attempts to create a public space for all: “We continue to support the city of Bothell’s objective of acquiring these properties for the use and enjoyment of the public. They would be an asset to the commu-nity enjoyed by current and future generations.”

The news of the declina-tion of offer was expected, according to Jesse Sears of One Bothell, and it only sets in place the organization’s future efforts.

“We will continue to do everything we can to acquire this land for the public, for recreation, edu-cation, and fish and wildlife habitat,” said Sears in an email. “We’ve only been established since Jan. 4, and every week we learn more, get more support from the community and more support from professional

organizations.”For Sears and the One

Bothell supporters, the idea of helping the Sam-mamish River return to a more healthy state is of vital importance.

“This has become a much bigger issue than a Bothell City Council effort. It’s a citizen movement to step up where the city has failed to save the property,” Sears said. “The State is moving ahead to try and provide resources, the Conserva-tion Futures Program [and] other sources, like salmon dollars, are moving forward. Some will take time, but there is still enough time.”

While the first offer was declined, that doesn’t mean there won’t be more offers from the city or from will-ing conservationists to come and save the Wayne Golf Course for Bothell citizens.

“This week we hope to have willing sellers and a plan which works for the Wayne Golf Course own-ers,” Sears said.

State commission sets 405 toll rates, audience walks outBY TJ MARTINELL

Reporter newspapers

� e Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC) decision to set the toll rates for Interstate 405’s HOV (high-occupancy ve-hicle) lanes was preceded by a mass exodus from attendees who felt their voices had fallen on deaf ears at Kirkland City Hall on March 18.

Prior to the motion, which received no opposing vote, commuters and local resi-dents lambasted the tolling plan during the public com-ment section as a “regressive and discriminatory” tax that would merely exacerbate the current tra� c congestion.

� e vote sets the toll minimum at 75 cents and the maximum at $10, albeit 90 percent of tolls will be less than $4, according to Tolling Division Assistant Secretary Craig Stone.

One of the rationales for the toll, according to Stone, is that I-405’s HOV lane is not meeting state and federal requirements for vehicles to be traveling at 45 miles per hour 90 percent of the time. Instead, Stone said, vehicles are driving at that speed only 60 percent of the time, despite adding nine transit centers, 5,000 new park and ride parking stalls and 1,700 vanpools since 2002. Toll rates will adjust depending on tra� c in order to maintain the 45 miles per hour requirement.

WSTC also set exemptions for carpools with three or more people, vanpools, buses and motorcyclists. To use the express toll lanes without an additional fee, drivers must have a Good To Go! account and a Flex Pass. Carpools will also have to get a transponder to place in the vehicle.

� e toll will a� ect the existing carpool lane on I-405 from State Route 522 to Interstate 5, along with two lanes between Northeast 6th Street in Bellevue and SR 522 in Bothell, a total of 17 miles.

Le� out of the exemptions were two-person carpools during peak hours, which were de� ned as between 5-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m.

� e mass exodus of at-tendees occurred a� er WSTC Vice Chair Joe Tortorelli of Spokane County made the motion to pass the proposal following a prepared state-ment by WSTC Chairwoman Anne Haley of Walla Walla County. WSTC member Dan O’Neal attempted to add an

amendment to the proposal that would allow the exemp-tion for two-person carpools during peak hours if the lane was meeting the 45 miles per hour requirement, but the motion failed.

Haley said at the beginning of the meeting that it wasn’t a question of whether tolling would occur, but what the rates and policy would be, as the legislature had already decided the matter in 2011 when it authorized tolling on I-405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood.

� e toll rate on I-405 from Bellevue to Lynnwood is considered to be one step in an overall plan to toll the entire highway from where it begins, north in Lynnwood,

to where it connects with State Route 167 in Renton. SR 167 already has a tolled HOV lane. I-405 is

considered to have some of the worst tra� c

in the state. � e toll, Stone claimed, would help relieve some of the congestion dur-ing its peak use.

Stone also defended the restricted exemption for two-person carpools, one of the most controversial aspects of the tolling proposal, say-ing it would not meet their � nancial objectives if they exempted during peak hours, and it would also prevent them from meeting federal standards. Critics responded that it will force more cars onto the road, as two-person carpoolers have no incentive to drive together if they can-not � nd a third passenger.

One such commuter ac-cused the toll of being used “so the privileged can get where they’re going faster.”

Several people voiced their support for the proposal, however, including Chief Fi-nancial O� cer King County Department of Transporta-tion Bill Greene, who said the tolling will encourage more drivers and commuters

to take vanpools and public transit. Sonny Putter, the former mayor for Newcastle, expressed similar sentiments, saying it would create a reli-able trip choice for people. Another supporter of the toll-ing proposal was Community Transit Service Development Manager Carol � ompson, who called it an “essential step in the direction of keep-ing the region moving.”

� e majority of com-mentators, however, were opposed for a variety of reasons. One major concern by Kenmore residents, as well as the city of Kenmore, is that tolling will cause spillover tra� c into their streets as commuters look to avoid either paying the toll or the tra� c congestion. Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey, speaking on behalf of Mayor David Baker, requested that WSTC allocate some of the tolling revenue to cities such as Kenmore to help mitigate the impact. According to the WSTC’s website, by law the toll revenue can only be used to pay for the cost of the I-405 express toll lanes main-tenance and operations, as well as future I-405 corridor improvements.

Kenmore resident Carl Michelman, who spoke at the prior meeting in Kirkland Feb. 19, reiterated many of his previous statements from that meeting, claiming that WSTC’s comparisons of I-405 to East Coast highways with tolls are not appropriate be-cause those cities don’t allow for spillover tra� c. He added that Kenmore residents pay a $20 car tab fee as part of a transportation bene� t district to improve their roads, but now those roads will be used by people who don’t live there and don’t pay the fee. Kirkland residents who spoke said tra� c is also bad in the city during peak hours for the same reasons.

“Kirkland can’t take more people on the side streets,” one woman said.

As for the carpool restric-tion, critics stated that SR 167’s HOV lane includes an exemption for two-person carpools and is still pro� table. Commission member O’Neal seemed to agree with much of the speakers’ pessimism, including the terrible tra� c congestion in Kenmore, say-ing the tolling proposal will “make life more di� cult.”

� e state has waived the cost of the transponder, which carpoolers can get at rideshareonline.com.

Charles. I think I learned more from Charles than he did from me.”

� at experience made him realize he wanted to go into education.

But starting a new high school from scratch is not just about teaching and McDowell will have to draw on all of his experiences, not just in education. He acknowledged the great reputations of the other three high schools in the NSD.

“� e Northshore School District is fantastic and they are doing some great things but we want to set North Creek up as a separate high school in the district,” he said. “We want it to be just as good as the other North-shore high schools, not bet-ter or worse, just di� erent.”

He will work with a plan-ning and visioning team from the community and district to develop the char-acteristics of the high school and help with the 2017 boundary changes. Mc-Dowell has become used to a transitional state, as Odle Middle School is currently undergoing renovation.

“I want to make this the smoothest transition possible for the kids and parents [in the NSD] and we

will measure our success on that,” McDowell said. “I am going to be working very hard for the community.”

NSD spokesperson Leanna Albrecht said that he will also participate in the assignment of sta� .

He said that he believes in building a good team envi-ronment for his sta� and the community.

“I think I am a very good collaborator,” McDowell said. “You can’t microman-age and you have to build trust. It is about the entire team and having good col-laboration.”

McDowell will also help establish new traditions, including selecting school colors and a mascot.

“� e kids will help pick the colors and mascot but we have to be careful to choose something that we will still be proud of in 10 years,” he said. “You also have to think about whether it is easy to � nd uniforms in those colors and other logistical issues.”

� e move might seem like a big jump for a middle school principal but Mc-Dowell’s experience speaks for itself. Along with his more than two decades in education, he holds a Bach-elor of Arts in Mathematics from St. Olaf College in

Minnesota, a Masters of Education in Educational Leadership and Policy Stud-ies from the University of Washington and is currently completing a Doctorate in Education from the Univer-sity of Washington.

He also has an extensive background and love of sports. Personally, he has completed in � ve half mara-thons and played tennis in college at St. Olaf. He also served as the head coach for the Bellevue High School tennis team for 15 years and won a state title.

� e new planning principal said he is � rst and foremost focused on academics for the entire student body. His eight years helping to build the BSD’s K-12 math curriculum gives him the background to meet the challenge.

“I want to make sure that each and every kid earns a diploma,” said McDowell said, who has � rst-hand knowledge of the NSD as his sister’s children attend Northshore schools.

And while he and his wife, who just celebrated their 20th anniversary, have no children of their own, he said he is not missing out.

“I have 800 kids here at school,” McDowell said. “I really enjoy it.”

strations. The water course boats will navigate starts at the Kenmore Boat Launch, then heads up the river and through a challenging oval course, then back to the

beginning.The race pits open at 9 a.m.

at Log Boom Park and the Kenmore Boat Launch, with a 10 a.m. opening ceremony.

Entertainment includes a

musical performance by artist Rulon Brown, a hydroplane and vintage yacht show and more.

This isn’t the first time races have been held in Ken-more. The original Slough Race started back in 1928 and ended in 1976, draw-ing around 40,000 to 80,000 spectators. In 2013, local artist Gaul Culley organized the return of the Sammamish

Slough Race through an exhibit at Kenmore City Hall, drawing hundreds of racing fans.

“It is very exciting to host the Hydroplane Cup event in Kenmore for a second year,” Baker said. “The event signi-fies our history and allows the community to reminisce and relive a popular pastime.”

The event is sponsored by Seattle Outboard Association,

the North Lake Marina, The Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum, Plywood Supply, Safeway, Seattle Water Sports, Jet City Printing, Woodshed Embroidery, Kenmore Air, BrentHallRacing.com and, of course, the city of Kenmore.

Reporter newspapers

A local First Lego League (FLL) team is headed

for an invitational com-petition in May where they plan to showcase an invention that solves fidgeting problems kids have in the classroom.

The FLL team, Circle of Seven, consists of Kirkland residents and students Eric Hoelscher, Thomas Yarborough and Joshua Elmore, Kenmore resident Justin Smith, Bothell residents Andrew and Ben Netterfield, and Snohomish resident Nicholas Cutuli, who have been selected to represent Western Wash-ington at the FLL Open Invitational Champion-ships in Carlsbad, Calif. May 15-17.

There, they hope they will get the exposure they need for their invention to help kids with fidget-ing. At the moment, they are actively fundraising to pay for their trip.

During this year’s competitions, they earned a trophy for “Best Innovative Solution” at the qualifier, the overall “Champions” award at the semifinals, and a trophy for “Gracious Pro-fessionalism” at the state competition.

As part of the league, teams develop a project based on a theme. Last year, the theme was natural disasters, and the team - then under

the name Masters of Disasters - created a subscription service for food emergency kits. The project made the top 10 for Global Innova-tion and received a free submission to Edison Nation’s online platform, which helps inventors get their ideas off the ground.

For this year’s theme of education, Circle of Seven created a tool to help kids deal with fidg-eting. It is an issue one of the members struggles with in class.

Hoelscher said they researched the problem and found much of fidg-eting can be caused by problems with proprio-ception, the sense of how one’s body is positioned.

“Kids were not focus-ing on class,” he said. “If

they were focusing they were stomping their feet, tapping their feet….they have to shake their foot or leg to wake it up.”

Elmore, whose parents Richard and Jeanette coach the team, said they tinkered around with the conceptual design before creating the final device, while Hoelscher said they brought in different textures and tested them out on different sections of the board to see if it worked.

“The very begin-ning idea was more of a big exercise machine that could be used for proprioception,” Elmore said.

“We pretty much work together as a team,” Hoelscher said. “Basi-cally we did rotations, everybody worked

equally on it… we all brought ideas to the table for different textures.”

He added they tried to come up with something that would not only solve the fidgeting, but be practical for the class-room.

“A lot of teachers didn’t want to give kids squeeze balls,” he said. “A lot of kids would be disruptive… we’ve made the board so it goes just under the desk and it’s hidden. They’re not able to mess around with it or move it around.”

The Pro-Board has a variety of “fidget bust-ers” on it with different textures, such as squeezy balls and buttons to push. Intended to be

used in the classroom, the board can be slid under a desk so that the student can use it with-out drawing attention to themselves.

“It’s kind of discreet,” Annette Hoelscher said. “For the kids that are always tapping their pen-cils or making noise or moving, it helps them to focus because they don’t know where their body is in space. You’re limited in a classroom because you don’t want kids walk-ing around.”

As they were taking the prototype to various competitions, the Pro-Board caught people’s attention, including a teacher who later told them at another competi-tion she would like to use in her own classroom.

“She came back and we wanted to find out when it’s going to be available,” Elmore said.

The team’s hope is that by competing in the three days of FLL events, they will be able to find a way to make Pro-Board available to students across the country.

Those interested in donating to their team can make a tax deduct-ible donation at www.firstwa.org/SupportUs.aspx by specifying the donation is for Team 189.

at his or her profession, provided that the business dealings are legal. However, when a businessperson is also a member of the City Council, that person must give first priority to his fiduciary responsibilities to the city he serves.

It is morally repugnant for a council member to use insider information in order to further his business activities. To do so while ignoring the well-being of his fellow citizens only makes matters worse.

City Council members are public servants. Citizens of Bothell expect their public officials to serve the best interests of all Bothell residents, not just their own.Marcia Stedman, Bothell

Investigation of Lamb, Freed should be independent

I appreciate the March 18 Bothell Reporter account of the pending Bothell city investigation into the mayor’s potential conflicts of interest.

The mayor’s insistence that his contract to buy the Wayne Golf Course back-nine is not through Element Residential, one of his development and real estate companies, is not surprising. He has in place more than a dozen corporations for his various businesses. Perhaps a more likely corporation is his Wayne Manor limited liability corporation, apparently incorporated for the purpose of developing the Wayne Golf Course. What is puzzling about this semi-mysterious real estate company is that Councilman Mark Lamb has in-sisted that he is not part of the investment group and that he has no conflict of interest with his city council role, yet Lamb is the registered agent for the mayor’s Wayne Manor Corporation.

Perhaps more importantly, the city manager ap-pears to have focused the investigation on the Wayne Golf Course although, as the Bothell Reporter states, “Many are concerned that the mayor has used his position to influence council decision on properties other than the Wayne Golf Course.”

Further, this investigation should not focus only on Mayor Joshua Freed. As the Bothell Reporter states, “It isn’t just Freed caught up in the fracas about potential conflicts of interest….” Further, Councilmember Tris Samberg is quoted as saying, “…the mayor’s reason for recusing also applies to you (Councilmember Lamb).”

To the extent that there should be an investigation into the mayor’s potential conflicts of interest on the Wayne Golf Course, there should be an investigation into the mayor’s role during other city actions such as rezoning, purchase, sale, reimbursements, contracting and favoritism. As Samberg has stated, concern over the mayor’s role should extend to Lamb, the mayor’s real estate attorney and registered agent in a dozen or more limited liability corporations.

Is this focus on the Wayne Golf Course an attempt to hide other, larger problems?Dennis Skofstad, Bothell

Bothell is a better place with Freed as mayor

Mayor Joshua Freed has been a key leader in the revitalization for the city of Bothell. Under his leader-ship, McMenamins is finally opening on Oct. 15 which will preserve the historic Anderson School, re-open the Northshore pool and give Bothell its first movie theater in decades.

Mayor Freed is a strong and positive leader who is also successful in his business. I am sick and tired of people always looking for the nega-tive when so much good is finally happening in our city.

I actually want leaders in government who under-stand the private sector and have made a living from something other than taxpayer dollars. Joshua Freed is a great mayor and Bothell is the better for it.SL Pistole, Bothell

Most significant development in the past two decades for Bothell

The Bothell City Council recently voted 5-1 to sell a surplus, contaminated property to Regency Centers. This may be the most significant development in our city in the past 20 years.

Regency Center will be putting a specialty grocer in downtown again, this is something our city has needed and been missing since Safeway moved up the Bothell Everett Highway.

Most important though is that a negative legacy of “old Bothell,” toxic contamination in the soil and near the groundwater, will be cleaned up as a result.

Another negative legacy of “old Bothell” has shown up in recent letters to the editor in the form of nega-tive personal attacks against elected officials and a virulent anti-growth sentiment. This negativity is as toxic as the contamination under downtown and it has no place in Bothell’s future. Kim Dill, Bothell

All decisions by Bothell City Council are now suspect

Ever since it was revealed that the [Bothell] Mayor [Joshua Freed], and [Councilman] Mark Lamb, and some of their cronies, had secretly purchased the rights to buy and develop the back-nine of the Wayne Golf Course, it appears that all decisions by the City Council are suspect. The lack of openness and trans-parency is apparent to the other council members and to the public in general.

The decisions by the council, may or may not be in the best interest of our citizens. The fact that the

mayor finally released a letter concerning the sale agreement with the golf course back-nine, did not help matters.

To think that our own mayor would be involved in attempting to place houses and

pavement on the back-nine of this course is a disaster. The front- and back-nine areas are the

last remaining open space in all of south Bothell. They remain an oasis in the massive amount of devel-opment occurring all around us. To actually see trees, grass and wildlife, without clear-cutting of the forest, is a real bonus.

The fact that the mayor, city manager and some of the Council, would attempt to place developments on the course is exactly the opposite of what the Bothell Citizens would want. The need for the open space and the river area is talked about continuously by the council, but their actions speak louder than words.

If the mayor was a real citizen of Bothell, he would be do everything possible with the other citizens to keep this open space. The citizens are told that we have a “robust” parks and recreation system, but the reality is that the politicians want development, not parks (or golf courses).

Clear-cutting of the trees and paving it over seem to be the new normal. Look at the houses just south of the golf course, no trees and all pavement. Debra Tadlock, Bothell

[ LETTERS from page 4]

On January 31, we released the draft boundary plan

to be implemented along with the opening of North Creek High School and grade reconfiguration in the fall of 2017. The staff, parents, community members and consul-tants from the Enroll-ment Demographic Task Force (EDTF) spent many months thoughtfully developing this plan.

From Feb. 9 through March 2, we hosted five open houses attended by well over 300 parents, students, community and staff members to learn about the plan and speak directly with EDTF mem-bers and district staff. Be-tween those open houses and our online input pro-cess, 450 comments were received. Thank you to all who submitted feedback as we strive to create the best plan possible for our

district’s future. The EDTF is now

reviewing all of the input received to assess any adjustments to the plan. While it will not be pos-sible to adjust the plan to meet all needs, I want to assure you that each comment received will be carefully consid-ered.

The EDTF is scheduled to sub-mit a “final draft” boundary plan recommenda-tion to the school board in May. The plan will still be draft as we continue to analyze enrollment trend data, housing starts and other relevant infor-mation in the coming months to be sure the plan is based on the best information available. However, the EDTF will not continue to develop different boundary plan

options. If new information be-

comes available through research or community input that changes the assumptions upon which the plan is based, the EDTF will incorporate that information and ad-just the plan as needed. If

no new informa-tion emerges that affects the under-lying assumptions of the plan, the plan submitted in May could very likely be the final plan submitted to the school board

in the spring of 2016. The goal is to finalize

the boundary adjustment plan next spring, well over a year in advance of opening North Creek and implementing grade reconfiguration. This will enable transition planning and activities to take place throughout

the 2016-17 school year for students, families and staff who will be joining new school communities.

There is no denying that the next few years will bring tremendous change to our district, and we remain commit-ted to helping support families and staff through the transition.

While change can cause anxiety and upset, it can also serve as a source of inspiration, rejuvenation and possibility. I remain excited and positive about the future of our district and all that lies ahead.
