Meeting people — re-ally connecting with them — is what Becky and Ryan Kent are all about. And lending others a hand during tough times is a crucial aspect of these friendships.

“It’s in my blood. I want to go help people,” said Becky, a member of Cedar Park Northshore Church in Kenmore.

Becky, who went on several church missions to Mexico, Peru and Ro-mania in high school to help in orphanages and a soup kitchen, was with her husband Ryan at the local church last Satur-day morning to unveil its food bank, which will be open from 9 a.m. to noon each Saturday.

“This is a ministry we

can do in our hometown that means just as much as going overseas,” said Becky, the food-bank director.

Added Ryan: “We always (wanted) to be a part of something where we can help people in need. (We’re) able to make a difference and an impact in someone’s life, to help people maybe become closer to God through it. We knew we could do God’s will this way. Unlimited potential can come from this.”

Families in need can sign up during food-bank hours to receive groceries twice monthly, or weekly if pregnant, disabled, age 55 or older or homeless. People need to provide identification (government ID, medical bill or utility bill) when

Northshore teacher, students honored

as Earth HeroesBY ANDY NYSTROM

[email protected]

One teacher and a crew of sixth-grade students may have been singled out to receive King County Earth Heroes at School awards, but it turns out that school-wide environmental-conser-vation efforts catapult-ed these people into the spotlight.

At Skyview Ju-nior High in Bothell, teacher Tom Nowak has spearheaded the compost program and salmon-release project, but students and staff members alike have been with him every step of the way.

Across the parking lot at Canyon Creek Elementary, the sixth-graders got the entire school on board with recycling programs through presentations, posters, videos and leadership by example in filling the bins in the cafeteria and class-rooms.

Executive Dow Con-stantine will present awards to these Earth Heroes and a handful of others on April 26 at Maplewood Greens in Renton.

“These stewards of the environment are our heroes — for conserving resources, protecting the envi-ronment and spread-

ing the word about sustainable practices,” Constantine said. “I am proud to recognize them for their hands-on commitment to the planet.”

SKY VIEWNowak helped get

the compost program rolling last year after taking a cue from Leota Junior High, and notes they are now decreasing lunch waste by an average of 80 percent by eliminat-ing liquid, recycling and food scraps from general solid waste. Through this, they are minimizing the school district’s pick-up fees.

A $1,000 Parent Teacher Student As-sociation grant funded bins and signs, and Cedar Grove employ-ees collect the compost after volunteers get it ready to go.

When Nowak was gone from school for three months on ma-ternity leave, special-education teacher Stephanie Escott, her support staff and stu-dents picked up com-post in classrooms.

“It’s empowering stu-dents, it’s helping the custodial staff and it’s building a community, where people know that they’re impacting the world,” Nowak said of the job-share.

Bicyclists cruise by the ‘Blue Trees’ in Kenmore last Saturday morning. According to a sign near the Himalayan Birch trees — planted on the Burke-Gilman Trail on Northeast Bothell Way near 80th Avenue Northeast: “These newly planted trees have been temporar-ily transformed with environmentally safe pigment to inspire awareness and discussion about global deforestation. As an ephemeral artwork, they will gradu-ally revert back to their natural state and remain as a legacy for the community.”Konstantin Dimopoulous is the artist. The trees’ scientific name is Betula jacqemontii.ANDY NYSTROM, Bothell-Kenmore Reporter

Shelton View Elementary third-grader Merun Subhas is surrounded by part of his collection of academic trophies in his family’s Bothell home. ANDY NYSTROM, Bothell-Kenmore Reporter

By Andy nyStroM

Merun Subhas’ eyes light up when he chats about spelling and math. The 9-year-old Bothell boy’s voice also oozes with excite-ment when swimming, singing and dancing swing into the conversation.

The Shelton View El-ementary third-grader is a well-rounded child, said his mother, Meena Pandian.

“Whatever he does, he’s pretty good. I think it’s inborn,” added his father, Arun Subhas, a program-mer at Microsoft. The family, originally from

Chennai, India, has lived in Bothell for seven years.

The Johns Hopkins Uni-versity Center for Talented Youth (CTY) recently hon-ored Merun as one of the top young students in the nation after he shone on a rigorous, above-grade-level SCAT test given online to second- through eighth-grade students.

He was one of more than 50,000 students worldwide who participated in the CTY Talent Search; only 25 to 30 percent of students who participated were honored.

“We are so proud of our

CTY Talent Search hon-orees for their exceptional performance on these tests and we are thrilled to take this moment to recognize them for their academic achievements,” said Elaine Tuttle Hansen, executive director of CTY, based in Baltimore, Md.

“Students aren’t the only ones who deserve this rec-ognition, she added. “Our students wouldn’t be who they are today without the parents and educators who have worked so hard to help them develop their talents.”

BOTHELL CITY COUNCIL APPROVES $15M

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR CROSSROADS PROJECT

Bothell City Council approved a contract on April 10 with Guy F.

Atkinson Construction for $15 million for the � nal phase of the

Crossroads project. Located where state routes 522 and 527 and

Bothell’s Main Street converge, the Crossroads project will improve tra� c congestion and increase

safety on a critical commute and freight corridor, according

to the city of Bothell. More than 44,000 vehicles pass though this

intersection daily.The � rst two phases of the project

were completed in 2010. Once this � nal phase is complete, SR 522

will be decoupled from Bothell’s Main Street and a portion of SR

522 will be moved a block south of where it currently is. The Park at Bothell Landing will then be

extended to meet SR 522, creating better views and access to the park

from downtown. The project will also free up additional downtown

properties, which will be o� ered for sale later this year, and allow

the historic Main Street to extend west, according to the city.

The city received four bids for the project. Construction on the

� nal phase of the project will start in late May or early June

and the project is expected to be

completed June 2014.“We are pleased with the results

of the bid process,” said Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe. “The

winning bid was over $2 million less than originally estimated,

demonstrating the advantages of moving forward with projects

during a time when labor and materials are less expensive.”

DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY APPROVES KENMORE

SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM

The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) has approved the

city of Kenmore’s new shoreline master program.

Kenmore’s shoreline program will result in signi� cant

improvements in the protection, use, development and restoration

of eight miles of shorelines and the water quality of Lake Washington,

the Sammamish River, Swamp Creek and other waterways.

The new master program combines local plans for future shoreline development and preservation

with new shoreline development ordinances and related permitting

requirements.“Kenmore’s shoreline master

program helps protect the economic and environmental

health of our waters. By working together, we are protecting our

treasured shoreline resources for ourselves, as well as our children

and future generations. Our shorelines make Washington a

great place to live,” said Geo� Tallent, Regional Shorelands

and Environmental Assistance supervisor.

About 260 cities and counties statewide are in the process or

soon will be updating or crafting their master programs, under

the state’s 1972 voter-approved Shoreline Management Act.

Shoreline master programs are the cornerstone of the act. The

law requires cities and counties with regulated shorelines to

develop and periodically update their locally-tailored programs

to help minimize environmental damage to shoreline areas, reserve

appropriate areas for water-oriented uses, and protect the

public’s right to public lands and waters.

Kenmore brought diverse local interests to the table to work collaboratively. The shoreline

master program process began with a thorough inventory of

existing land-use patterns and environmental conditions.

Participants included waterfront property owners, scientists,

nonpro� t organizations and state

and local resource agency sta� . Mayor David Baker said, “We are pleased that the new Shoreline

Master Program has received � nal approval. Kenmore is known as the

city by the lake, and we see great value in protecting and preserving

our shorelines, particularly along Lake Washington.”

Kenmore’s shoreline master program:

• Provides shoreline regulations in one stop by integrating the city’s

growth management planning and zoning, � oodplain management

and critical areas ordinances. • Addresses protection of habitat

and water quality through regulations that apply to

shorelines, wetlands, and other critical areas in Kenmore.

Includes a restoration plan showing where and how voluntary

improvements in water and upland areas can enhance the local

shoreline environment.

is “challenging and fun,” and would like to work in the engi-neering field when he grows up. He recently placed first in the North Sound Foundation math bee in Seattle, and then finished in the top 20 at nationals in San Jose, Calif.

Pandian noted that Merun participated in the Bear Creek Elementary gifted pro-gram as a second-grad-er — under the tutelage of Stacey Robb — and transferred to Shelton View to continue his studies.

“Merun shows a strong ability to pro-cess math mentally. He has been working two years above his grade level all year long. It continues to

amaze me that he is so accurate on unit tests,” said Shelton View EAP (English for academic purposes) teacher Sal-lie Hartman.

“He understands his math skills and he’s utilizing it properly,” Pandian added. “It’s (the ability) there, but the practice is also important.”

At the family’s Bothell home, Merun’s trophies dominate a shelf leading up to the stairway. There’s awards for vocabulary, math, chess and danc-ing contests.

“He tries out a lot of things — he won’t reject anything,” said Pandian, noting that after tackling the vocabulary and math bees, he’s ready for the science and brain bees. “He’s a bee person.”

NEWS TIPS! We want to hear from you425.483.3732 [email protected]

Many of us have heeded police officers’ advice to make our vehicles less attractive to thieves.

Store your valuables out of sight or take them out of the car if you can. Do not leave purses or briefcases where potential thieves can see them.

Apparently, this may not be enough anymore.

The Eastside – including Bothell – has been hit with a series of motor-vehicle prowl and burglary incidents during the past few weeks.

Police believe several recent cases involving similar scenarios may indicate thieves are using a new strategy to burglar-ize homes.

Here’s the scenario: A person goes out to see a movie or eat at a restaurant and parks their car. A thief prowls their car and takes the person’s vehicle registration. Police believe the registration information is used to draw thieves to the unoccupied homes.

In one case, someone’s car was prowled while parked at the Woodinville Costco and then the thief burglarized their Bothell home, according to Bothell Police Depart-ment Sgt. Elmer Brown. Another victim’s car was prowled while parked in Woodin-ville, and then the thief burglarized their Kirkland home while it was unoccupied, said Kirkland Police Department Sgt. Rob Saloum.

Kenmore Police Department Chief Cliff Sether said there were no such incidents in

his city.Redmond also recently had a string of

these incidents. In one of the cases, the victim was a Medina resident, but their car was broken into while in Redmond.

In another case, a vehicle was broken into in the parking lot of the Regal Bella Bottega movie theater in Redmond and then the victim’s home in unincorporated King County just outside of Redmond was burglarized.

In a third incident, A Redmond resi-dent’s car was prowled while in the parking lot of a Woodinville movie theater. While the victim’s home was not burglarized, Redmond police say they received a report of suspicious circumstances in that neigh-borhood, which may have been tied to the vehicle prowl.

Redmond police said they are aware of more incidents in at least nine neighbor-ing jurisdictions, including Bellevue and Issaquah.

Protect yourself.The best thing you can do is keep your

vehicle registration information on your person and not in your vehicle, said Sa-loum. Go through all the contents of your car and make sure there is nothing with your home address or other identifying information on it.

Also, if you are a victim of a vehicle prowl, let police know if your registration information is missing so that they may make sure your home is safe.

That’s not a lot to do to protect yourself from becoming a victim — twice.

BY SANDI CLEMENT

More than a year ago during a Bothell City Council meeting, the councilmembers engaged in a lively discussion about the value of the parcels known as � e Boy Scout Property on the side of Maywood Hill in Bothell. � e steep, wet acreage became a point of discussion thanks to the e� orts of a local advocacy group known as HOW, Help Our Woods. For more than a decade, HOW has fought development of the 63.8 acres consisting of six parcels, and encouraged the city and community to save the forest for future generations and the wildlife living there.

� e woods provide multiple bene� ts to the environment through air and water quality, ensure habitat for animals squeezed by develop-ment and give residents and visitors a beautiful Bothell.

Bothell’s City Council strives for � scal respon-sibility to their taxpayers. � erefore, the lively discussion going on more than a year ago was about the use of taxpayer funds to match grants provided by the county or state. � e council felt torn by a desire to preserve and protect a valu-able Bothell asset and the need to use increas-ingly limited funding wisely and representative of its citizens.

In an inspired moment, Mayor Mark Lamb stated that if all the 600-plus petition signers would follow his lead in donating, this debate would resolve itself. Councilmember Patrick Ewing was quick to embrace this challenge. Northshore School Boardmember Dawn Mc-Cravey pledged to match Ewing’s donation at the break when an appropriate time for public comment occurred.

Our local representatives on the Bothell City Council and Northshore School Board deserve a hand for their unwavering dedication to a better

Bothell. In the past year, HOW has received 501C3

status so matching funds could be donated by our community and the pledges made that night could be optimized. � is status allows dona-tions to be tax deductible and many companies will match the donation to HOW. � e funds are dedicated to saving the forest and preserving habitat there. HOW echoes the sentiment of our city council to provide funding through com-munity outreach and donations.

HOW recently partnered with the city of Bothell once again to apply for another King County Conservation Futures Fund grant. It has been successfully completed and � led, so the hard work of collecting matching funds begins. HOW needs your donations to help make this dream a reality. It is our pledge to dedicate all collected funds to the purchase and revitaliza-tion of the forest. HOW is a nonpro� t organiza-tion that exists solely for this purpose. We are the only nonpro� t 501C3 organization able to collect donations for saving these woods.

Please send your tax-deductible donations to:• Help Our Woods19803 108th Ave. N.E.Bothell, WA 98011If your company has a matching-funds pro-

gram on employee donations, HOW quali� es for those programs.

More than 30 ham-mers pounded away with youthful fervor last Friday at the Juanita Elementary field house. The incessant noise felt and sounded more like a freight train barreling through the open-air field house than a school art project.

About 50 students at a time, out of the 400 kids who participated, took their turn creating a birdhouse with the help of 10 volunteers from the Bothell Home Depot, 25 or so parents and one special conductor.

“There is a lot of ef-fort that goes into this one hour,” said Pete Klinefelter, who has been running Pete’s Workshop on Saturday mornings at the Bothell Home Depot for more than a decade. “They select the nails, glue or whatever they need. It pulls the creativity out of the kids. It is just fun.”

Klinefelter — with a short white beard reminiscent of Santa in summer and wearing a painted white lab coat, giant tie, leather hat and goggles with a fake eye-ball hanging off the lens to emphasize safety first — got the kids started by telling them about the project.

The free class at Home Depot teaches kids how to build small wood projects, such as bird houses, cars, hydroplanes and planter boxes. But this art project came to the kids at Juanita Elementary. The supplies alone could have filled a boxcar.

“It’s really cool,” said fourth-grader Allison Lofquist. “I have been looking forward to this.”

QFC also donated birdseed and all the wood material were scraps from Home Depot’s lumber depart-ment.

“In the past, all this wood would just go into the garbage,” said Klinefelter. “Most of it comes from fencing.”

The event is also designed as an Earth Day event to teach about recycling.

“We learned that stuff made with plastic goes in the recycle,” said Lofquist. “You can even

recycle your phones.”The kids got to keep

their birdhouse and a certificate for participat-ing.

All the Home Depot employees were volun-teering on their own time.

“It is not hard to get the volunteers,” said Home Depot manager Chris Durbin. “We want to get out and touch base with the community and give back to our custom-ers. We always strive to go one step beyond what our customers expect.”

The expectation for Klinefelter is fun. He stresses that kids learn to build naturally with no power tools. All the wood materials are pre-cut, but the kids have to figure out what pieces to use. Klinefelter said that his parents instilled his creativity by example.

“I built a boat when I was 13 and went out on Lake Washington,” said Klinefelter. “It sunk pretty fast because I used the wrong glue. But you have to try things.”

Klinefelter, who worked construction for 50 years, loves to work with kids.

“I was a Seafair clown in 1957,” said Klinefelter,

who drives 45 minutes from Index to the Home Depot to volunteer to lead the class. “I learned how to be a clown from J.P. Patches.”

Klinefelter’s loyalty is returned by his students, including one girl who has been attending the Home Depot class for five years. The idea to bring the class to the school came from two of Klinefelter’s loyal stu-dents — Juanita Elemen-tary students Kaizen Mouw and Hannah Schleer.

“For the last two-and-a-half years he has been getting me up at 7 a.m. on Saturdays, my only day to sleep in, to go to the workshop,” said Kaizen’s father Jordan Mouw, who has more birdhouses than he knows what to do with. “It’s fun. I don’t mind at

all.”Mouw and Sue Schleer,

art docent director and Hannah’s mother, helped set up the event for Juanita Elementary.

“It is a good hands-on experience,” said Juanita Elementary principal Dana Stairs, who said that the kids had safety training for the event. “They are surprisingly good with the hammers.”

Mouw helped Klinefelter set up his own Facebook page, “Pete’s Workshop for Kids,” where kids and parents can find out about the classes, see pictures and watch videos.

Klinefelter said that when he retired his wife told him to find some-thing to do.

“I really don’t know what I would do if they eliminated my ‘job’,” said Klinefelter.

“The schools are cutting down so much. There is so much out there to do and no one is doing it. I love it.”

And if the wide smiles and pride on the kids’ faces are any indica-tion, Klinefelter’s job is secure.

...healthy livingBy Timi GusTafson, R.D.

Where you live may determine how healthy you are or can hope to be, according to a new study published in the Ameri-can Journal of Preventive Medicine. Researchers us-ing a geographic informa-tion system (GIS) found that access to quality food outlets and opportunities to be physically active can make communities not only more attractive but also more healthy.

Both children and adults who live in areas that provide supermarkets within reasonable dis-tance, recreational parks and safe sidewalks and bike paths have on aver-age lower rates of obesity,

What your neighborhood says about your Healthdiabetes and heart disease than those living in un-derserved neighborhoods, including so-called food deserts.

“The biggest difference we found in rates of obe-sity were in places where the environment was good for both nutrition and physical activity,” said Dr. Brian Saelens, profes-sor of pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Research Insti-tute and co author of the study report. “The rates [in the best places] were less than 8 percent. But if the nutrition and physical activity were not good, the rates went up to 16 percent.”

Although these find-ings should not come as a surprise, it is the first time that scientists have used geographic data to specifically investigate the causes of lifestyle-related health problems.

Up to now, most stud-ies on the ever-rising obesity epidemic have been focusing on fac-tors such as lifestyle, income, education and genetic preconditions. Geographic differences should be used more often in the future to assess the connections be-tween nutrition, physical activity and obesity. For instance, if we can count the numbers of grocery stores, convenient stores, fast food restaurants and recreational facilities in a particular area, we may be able to predict

better what chances the local population has to live more healthily, the researchers said.

“To address this health crisis, attention must be focused on a key issue that lies at the core of the epidemic: The social inequities of obesity,” said Rear Admiral Susan Blumenthal, MD, MPA, a former U.S. Assistant Surgeon General.

“A significant body of scientific evidence links poverty with higher rates of obesity. Families with limited economic re-sources turn to food with poor nutritional quality because it is cheaper and more accessible. Low-income families live in neighborhoods where it is dangerous to play outside, reducing opportunities for both children and adults to exercise. Instead of supermarkets, [low-income] neighborhoods may have an abundance of fast-food retailers and corner stores that are stocked with products high in fat and low in nutrients. Families are often targeted by food marketers with advertise-ments encouraging the consumption of nutrient-poor foods, increasing the likelihood of adopt-ing unhealthy dietary practices.”

Despite of their best efforts to lure more supermarkets to under-served neighborhoods through tax breaks and

other incentives, local governments find it hard to overcome the many obstacles they’re facing. The so-called food des-erts in many poor urban and rural areas persist because of lack of con-sumer demand (people don’t have the money to buy nutritious but pricey foods), high crime rates (and insurance costs) and transportation expenses (to remote areas).

An area is officially considered a food desert when it has no super-markets within 1 mile in an urban setting and within 10 miles in a rural environment. The U.S. Department of Agricul-ture (USDA) estimates that nearly 25 million Americans live in food deserts.

Social welfare programs such as food stamps bring only limited relief because of geographic hindrances. According to data col-lected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Ser-vices (HHS), a quarter of all food stamps recipients do not have easy access to supermarkets. High gas prices and lack of private or public transportation only worsen the situation.

Obviously, not all or even many of these condi-tions can be changed overnight. However, a few small steps in the right di-rection can go a long way. Communities have taken initiatives all over the country to facilitate more local farmers markets and sales outlets for urban farms where fresh foods are available at affordable prices. Achieving better “walkability” has become a goal in cities and towns of all sizes. With greater awareness, good will and some imagination, we all can make a difference for ourselves and our neigh-borhood.

...healthy living

BY TERESA RICHTER, ND

Do you suf-fer from fatigue, eczema, asthma, chronic infec-tions,

dark under eye circles, gas and bloating, bowel issues?

You could be suffering from a food reaction. It is believed that 60-70 percent of Americans, healthy or sick, suf-fer from symptoms associated with food reactions. Food reac-tions, whether allergic or intolerance, are the leading cause of leaky gut syndrome. Leaky gut syndrome also causes food reactions leading to a vicious cycle that the body is unable to recover from.

There are two types of food reactions, allergic and intolerance/sen-sitivity. Allergic reac-tions to food evoke an immune response. An immune response could include hives, difficulty breathing, nausea, diar-rhea, intestinal cramp-ing, chest pain, runny nose, and swelling of the airways to the lungs.

Food intolerances oc-cur when there are lack of enzymes to digest food or food irritates the digestive system, which then causes an in-testinal response. When a food eaten irritates the intestinal lining, the resulting symptoms include nausea, stomach pain, heartburn, cramp-ing, gas, headaches, irritability/nervousness, diarrhea and vomiting. Both types of responses lead to increased in-testinal inflammation, damage, and permeabil-ity, leading to leaky gut syndrome.

What is leaky gut syn-drome you ask?

Leaky gut syndrome is when the intestinal lining is more perme-able or porous than it should be. When the intestine is constantly offended by foods that are irritating, it begins to produce mucous to protect itself. This protective mechanism is also the leading cause of the damage. The in-creased mucous results

Leaky gut syndromein not only decreased nutrient absorption and malnutrition but in-flammation as well. It is this inflammation that breaks down the barrier between intestinal cells, allowing particles that are too large and not properly processed to enter the blood stream. This is when food reac-tions occur; either the immune system mounts a response, or the in-testines respond to the irritation. As you can see, the cyclical relation-ship between the two poses a challenge to get rid of the uncomfortable symptoms.

Eighty percent of Americans get their calories from the same 11 foods. These foods are often the most likely to cause a response, such as dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, peanuts, corn, and potatoes. By iden-

tifying whether or not any foods are affecting your body can help to decrease your risk for many conditions as-sociated with inflamma-tion. These conditions include eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, ar-thritis, asthma, psoria-sis, and other immune conditions.

Treatment goals include identifying the cause (offending foods), removing the obstacles to cure, reducing in-flammation, addressing weakened systems, and reintroducing intestinal flora.

Please consult your local naturopathic doc-tor for help.

they visit the church, located at 18737 68th Ave. N.E. Filling out forms will also allow the Kents to keep track of how many people come in and how much food they’ll need to have stocked.

Thanks to donations from the church’s congrega-tion — which features about 160 people from Kenmore, Bothell and the surrounding cities — the church’s pantry is abundantly filled with canned goods, noodles, cereal, cakes, crackers, bread (which is shelved in a freezer donated by a Kirkland resident) and more. A few of Becky’s dreams for the food bank are starting a garden above the church to grow fruits and vegetables; providing meats, cheeses and milk; and partnering up with organizations like Northwest Harvest and Feeding America and local churches and busi-nesses.

Amy Bolen, city of Kirkland Public Works Office specialist, helped the church set up the food bank.

“Right now, it’s basically the congregation — you have to start small and then keep expanding out,” said Becky, who lives in Lynnwood. “(The congregation has been) very generous, they’re very excited about the ministry and we’re excited to see where God leads it.”

Cedar Park Northshore has offered a smaller-sized food bank since Jay Smith became pastor three years ago, but they’re ready to go bigger with more food and a specific day and time to cater to more people, Becky said.

“I never thought I would ever do this,” Becky added. “It was one thing that our pastors asked me and Ryan to do, and we prayed on it and we said, ‘You know what? This is what we’re supposed to be doing.’”

The Northshore Se-nior Center and Kiwan-is of Northshore have once again teamed up to raise funds to sup-port Kids of All Ages at 5:30 p.m. April 27 at the Northshore Senior Center.

The community is invited to join both these groups as they hold an auction fund-raiser that will ben-efit the senior center

programs in Bothell, Kenmore, Woodinville and Mill Creek, North-shore Wranglers, Key Clubs at Inglemoor and Bothell high schools, and scholarships for area students. Tickets are still available for $60 per person by con-tacting the Northshore Senior Center at (425) 487-2441 or people can purchase tickets online at www.northshorese-

niorcenter.org.In addition to the

Senior Center and Ki-wanis working together, the two groups have partnered with two area high-school programs, Event Hospitality & Tourism offered at Inglemoor and the culi-nary arts program from Bothell. The hospitality students assist in the organization of the auc-tion; the culinary arts

students will be prepar-ing and serving dinner that night.

This year’s event will include three silent-auction rooms and a live auction. Just a few of the items available include a Broadway New York Theater travel package, Traeger barbe-cue, opportunity to be a Keystone Cop, dining opportunities, wine baskets and more.

...young at heart

During the recent salmon-release project at North Creek, 65-70 stu-dents let 240 Coho salmon fry free into their new habitat. Students received the fry from the Friends of Issaquah Salmon Hatchery (FISH) and they hatched at school in mid-January.

Members of the school Green Team and others then measured the speed of the North Creek stream, the temperature of the water and the amount of oxygen, nitrates and phos-phates that was present.

“We are not alone, humans are pivotal pieces, but we are interconnected with the world around us,” Nowak said of the salmon project, adding that it’s important in “getting kids out of the classroom and seeing science.”

Skyler Grant, a seventh-grader, said the two projects are “interesting and fun, and you get to see other people working together.”

Added fellow seventh-grader Marianna Gilbert: “It’s really important because we feel we need to give back, and this is our way of saying ‘Thank you.’

Through the composting, we don’t spend as much on the school budget on trash pickup, and with the salmon release, it’s nice to rebuild the populous of salmon in our world.”

CANYON CREEKIt’s been a passing of the

recycling torch from last year’s sixth-graders to this year’s bunch, according to teachers Chris Brush and Rodeen Peterson. And in turn, the students are mentoring the younger Canyon Creek kids in the ways of recycling, which makes it a team effort all

the way.“The end result was

they reduced the garbage amount by 50 percent,” Brush said.

“It’s cool to see them because it’s a real proj-ect for them — it’s not a worksheet. It’s something where they could affect

change in their environ-ment — right now — and they have some power, and they don’t get a lot of that in their lives.”

Added Peterson, as she watched students dump items into the correct recycling bins in the cafeteria last week: “We’re

trying to teach these kids to be responsible citizens. They’re very excited, and they really are trying to be very conscientious and they’re trying to think of new ways (to recycle).”

She praised sixth-grad-ers Cameron Bellusci and Aqib Rasheed for learn-ing that Capri Sun drink packets can be recycled by the company that pro-duces them; they mail the pouches off to Kraft Foods and have raised more than $100.

“It’s really great. We want to organize it so it goes in the right spot,” Bellusci said.

Added Rasheed: “To see how many kids are con-tributing to this wonderful recycling program is just awesome.”

Fellow sixth-grader Kylie Monson said that students have come a long way in making recycling a part of each day.

“I watch every day how people come up and they’re recycling, and at the beginning of the year, they would waste a lot more,” she said. “Now that they’re aware of the fact that they need to recycle, it’s pretty cool.”

Not too long ago I was having “a day”, being

All of The Ages you Aresilly and full of mischief. My better half looked at me and said, “It’s o.k to be 5, if that is how old

you are right now.”5? I’m older than

that. A lot older. How many times does a past age sneak up on you when you least expect it? Growing up I was

always the “funny one”, Lisa was the “pretty one”, and Tracy was the “smart one”. When I feel that way even now, awkward and a little shy, I am instantly 17 again. It’s easy to be reminded that if I feel that way…how many other people do too?

What about our resi-dents? When they get sick are they 3? Do they just want the comfort of being small and having someone take care of them? What if Mr. Jones is being a flirt? Is he back to that young man of 21?

Just because you turn 40 doesn’t mean that age 4, 17, 21, and 30 don’t still live inside you. They are as much a part of who you are as 40. The same is true for 65, 75 and 90. All of the life experiences that got you this far are still in there somewhere and sometimes they need to come out. Maybe those ages protect us, make us feel safe, or in my case, a little silly. There is noth-ing wrong with that. Embrace your age. It’s just a number, and for fun…be 5 once a while!

Nearly 200 members of the Eastside Four-square Church walked a large wooden cross more than two miles from Juanita Beach Park in Kirkland to the Bothell church on April 6.

The second annual Good Friday Cross Walk was to honor Good Fri-day, a religious holiday observed by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

“It’s a nice, quiet, humble way to get our message out,” said church Pastor D.J. Vick. “It’s an opportunity for us to remember what Jesus endured for us as Christians, but also to communicate that mes-sage to the community that God loves us and Jesus came to die for us and restore our relation-ship with God.”

During the walk, church members took turns carrying the 10-foot, 80-pound wooden cross, which was constructed by church member Mark Allen.

“We have no agenda,” said Chris Peppler, com-munity outreach pastor, adding that the group’s message was to show the freedom that Christ offers.

A church member came up with idea for the Good Friday Cross Walk last year. Vick said church officials thought it was a great idea and the event generated a “phenomenal response,” with nearly 350 people participating in the walk along the same route.

Before the walk, Jeff Vileta spoke about how when Jesus carried the cross through the streets of Jerusalem, he was viewed by many as a condemned man. How-ever, he carried the cross for us, said Vileta, refer-

ring to the Holy Bible’s Book of John, 3:16-17.

The group also stopped at several churches during the trek. Their first stop was at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in Kirkland, where Pastor Scott Smith taught about when Jesus accepted the cross.

Church members also stopped at the Juanita Community Church to hear Pastor Brandon Brazee speak about Simon of Cyrene’s help carrying the cross, and the group ended at their home church, the Eastside Foursquare Church at 100th Avenue Northeast in Bothell, to hear Pastor Vick speak about how Jesus died on the cross.

Participants planted the cross on the stage for that evening’s Good Friday service.

HADLEY IS TOPS IN STATE JAVELIN

Bothell High’s Allie Hadley took the lead in the 4A state

javelin standings with a throw of 140 feet, 5 inches last

Saturday at the 51st Pasco Invitational track-and-� eld

meet at Edgar Brown Stadium. The previous Bothell record

was 127-11.

Just like they do on the fastpitch field, Both-ell High’s girls support each other when they’re up to bat at the inter-view plate.

Last Thursday at practice, seniors Kendra Heyer and Savannah Rose and junior Sammy Morris shared the load while describing their Cougar team to the Re-porter. They all fed off each other’s comments and often finished each other’s sentences when talking fastpitch and friendship.

Fourth-year Bothell coach Rob Luckey has an insightful and tal-ented crew on his hands.

Heyer, an all-4A Kingco center fielder last year and La Salle University (Philadel-phia, Pa.) signee, notes that Luckey describes the team as having a “calm intensity,” which has gotten them off to a 8-3 overall start at press time.

“We’re not an overly loud team in games, we stay focused and we’re really good at just calming down when we need to,” said Heyer, adding that the team has bonded well and is full of laughter, too.

“That will take you

farther than any type of skill will — team chem-istry. And we’ve got the skill to back it up, so it’s just even that much better.”

Added Morris, the team’s lefty leadoff hitter and shortstop: “We’re not getting overconfi-dent and (we’re) keeping our cool, even though we are a good team. We keep it pretty intense, but (don’t) freak our-selves out with too much pressure. We stay fo-cused towards our goals, but we still have a good time.”

The team goal, ac-cording to Heyer, is to make it to the state tournament. She said the Cougars have a good chance at doing that since they possess 11 varsity returners

and only graduated one starter from last year’s 15-9 squad.

Bothell’s top return-ers, along with Heyer, Morris and Rose (pitch-er, infielder), are juniors Camille Weisenbach (four homers this year), Arista Honey (catcher), Allie Vick (left fielder) and Ama Magalei (first baseman); and sopho-mores Kelsie Morgan (second baseman) and Julia Warner (pitcher).

Junior Abi Bittle and sophomore Kat Balyeat round out the pitching crew this season.

“I just think we’ve got a lot to offer, we’ve got a really deep lineup,” Heyer said.

“If one person gets hurt, we’re not in trouble. We’ve got plenty of people to back us up,

and I think that’s really hard to come by for a high-school team.”

Added Rose, a Chap-man University (Orange, Calif.) signee on playing for Bothell: “The girls have been really encour-aging, really welcoming. It’s a lot of fun having all the different grades on varsity.”

Thus far, the girls have been making an impact in all aspects of the game, especially at the plate, Luckey said.

“We’ve been hitting the ball like crazy,” he said. In the first five Kingco games, Heyer (.667), Morris (.625), Weisenbach (.588) and Honey (.563) have led the way.

“And we’re play-ing some really good defense,” said Luckey,

adding that the girls are playing in honor of Tim Driver, former assistant coach who passed away last year.

“We have T-shirts that say, ‘We are Driven.’ It’s tough, but we still talk about him and think about him, that’s been our motivating saying this year.”

COACH LUCKEY’S CORNER:

On Heyer —“Kendra is an athlete (she’s lettered in basketball, soccer and softball). She didn’t just letter, she played really well. She’s a great person to be around, she’s a competitor, she loves to laugh, she’s just been a joy to this program. She’s one of the reasons that we really want to do well — she’s really been a dedicated Bothell High School athlete.”

On Rose —“She carried us as a sopho-more in the (pitcher’s) circle, she battled for us last year at third base and in the circle. She’s a hitter, she’s a com-petitor. She’s playing through shin splints, and I’m so proud of her for coming out here and not complaining.”(Heyer played through a sprained ankle this season.) “Those are the kind of kids that we look up to. They want to leave here with a bang.”

On Morris —“She played JV freshman year for about a day: We saw right away that she was just a really strong athletic girl, and she’s been in our leadoff spot ever since. Her on-base percentage is about .700.She’s just a threat. She is literally the battery that gets us going.”

Special to the Reporter

Every season has its ups and downs, but it’s how a team responds to those triumphs and failures that de� nes its eventual suc-cess.

Despite having lost two of its last three games at press time, the Inglemoor High varsity fastpitch team has remained positive and looks to the future. With a current record of 7-5, the girls have a strong chance of reaching the playo� s this year.

“A lot of our goals are long term,” senior short-stop and captain Taylor Peacocke said, “but we’re on track. We’ve had some tough losses, but we should de� nitely go to the playo� s with a good seed. We just need to stay hot through-out the season.”

Much of the success of the season has been attributed to the addition of three freshmen. With

no junior-varsity team last year and a large number of positions to � ll, the team was taken aback with the level of talent they received.

“� e strength of the team is driven by the seniors,” assistant coach Mike Brown said, “but � ve of our nine home runs have been hit by our fresh-men. � ey’ve really been surprising us.”

While some of the fresh-men have been playing for most of their lives, some have just a few seasons under their belt.

“Getting them acclimat-ed to how we play so� ball has been di� cult, but they are doing a really good job,” junior � rst baseman Holly Sandborg said. “In a lot of ways, we’ve gone over our expectations —some of the freshmen are just blowing our minds. � ese girls are going to carry this team into the future and I’m happy for them. ”

In addition to teaching

the new players the tricks of the trade, the team has been striving toward stronger communication on the � eld.

“We’ve really been work-ing on picking each other up and staying positive,” Peacocke said.

Learning how their teammates react to di� er-ent situations has allowed the players to improve their bonds with one another, as well as advance them as a team.

“If someone makes an error, you need to know how to pick them up and get them past the fact that they aren’t doing well,” Sandborg said. “Everybody has their own sense of leadership and does their part to help.”

Now that the season is at its midpoint, the team will be facing some of its most di� cult games as the 4A Kingco tournament draws nearer.

“� ere are a lot of strong teams in Kingco this year,

but our chances of getting to state are really high,” junior pitcher Alyson Har-rington said.

“We just have to take it step by step.”

More than ever, the next two months will be vital for the overall success of the team. With games ev-ery few days and a strong 4A Kingco division, there isn’t much room for error.

“We’re no longer just a group of people who play so� ball, we’re a team,” senior out� elder and cap-tain Shelby Johnson said. “Now we just need to stay focused and be consistent in our performance.”

Spirits are high on Inglemoor’s so� ball � eld, and not without reason. � ey are prepared to face conference rivals in their � nal eight regular-season games and more than ready to welcome the chal-lenges that the postseason will bring.

Until then, it’s just one game at a time.

In the midst of a glacial economy and skyrocket-ing tuition costs, it seems logical that students and schools would devote greater time and resources in developing strategies to pay for college.

They aren’t.Every April, students

receive crisp letters of ac-

ceptance from universities, the culmination to years of hard work and dedication. Inglemoor High does quite a lot to prepare students for going to college, but when it comes to paying for it, there’s room for improvement.

To graduate, students are expected to have a five-year plan for life after high school. They are expected to have explored career options and to have looked into further education. They are not expected to know how to write a re-sume, to have a plan to pay

for college, or to be fiscally responsible in any way.

In short, students may be able to get into college, but they may not have a practical plan to pay for it.

Left to their own devices, Inglemoor High seniors came up with a range of schemes.

“I’m gonna win the lot-tery,” Seaver Radovich said.

Radovich later said he’d been joking, but admitted he did not have a clear plan as to how he would be pay-ing for college.

Anthony Leach said he’d pay for tuition through “fi-

nancial aid, my own work and my parents,” but when pressed to give further detail, he remained silent, seemingly at a loss over what to say.

Senior Kendal Crawford had the most detailed plan.

“At the college I’m going to,” Crawford said, “they have a financial counselor. I’m going to do a work-study program.”

The financial-aid process is ambiguous at best. Crawford only knew about the work-study op-tion offered at her college after doing additional research, not because of any information provided by Inglemoor. The school does little to advertise op-portunities beyond posting scholarships and hosting a financial-aid night every year.

With regards to fiscal responsibility, the outlook isn’t much better. Some

English classes teach stu-dents how to write resumes and basic ways to apply for jobs and pay for col-lege; other students leave high school never having learned how to do any of this.

“We, as public education in general, fall short,” In-glemoor counselor Bryan McNeil said. “There are no state requirements for such things like finance or business class. And, as you know, state requirements drive such things.”

Growing budget cuts over the past several years have forced shrinkages in many programs previously offered. Students enrolled in the International Bac-calaureate (IB) Diploma Program, for instance, have their schedules packed so tightly that now they are left unable to take classes that might help them prepare for their financial

future.“I was never taught

financial planning,” IB Diploma senior Shannon Barnes said. “My mom had to teach me last year how to balance a check book.”

By not requiring finan-cial-planning classes, the state and the school district are missing out on a valu-able opportunity to teach teens fiscal responsibility.

Come this April, most teens will receive welcome letters of acceptance. The vast majority of those pres-ently finding their college dreams realized, however, will be left wondering how to pay for this new-found expense.

It’s understandable that time and budget con-straints make it difficult to teach such classes and that students should be expected to seek out the information themselves, but the reality is that they most likely will not and shouldering them with fu-ture debt this early in life is an arguably unfair burden to place on an 18-year-old.

The school district should reconsider its policy toward financial-planning programs and give every student the basic education and resources to pay for college, get a job and make it through this process alive.

Austin Wright-Pettibone is an Inglemoor High senior.

The Entrepreneurship Center at the University of Washington, Both-ell will host its second annual Business Plan Competition at 4 p.m. on May 4. The public is invited to attend, and will be eligible to win a Kindle, an REI gift card and other prizes.

The top four teams will compete in a live final event held in the North Creek Event Center.

More than 40 student teams are expected to submit comprehensive business plans in hopes of capturing $20,000 in cash and prizes. The competition includes several rounds of judg-ing. The competition’s final round provides four remaining teams the opportunity to present their plans to a panel of Washington

CEOs and entrepreneurs serving as judges.

“The business plan competition highlights the center’s core mis-sion, which is to build the economy by devel-oping businesses and talented entrepreneurs,” says Barry Weisband, director.

“The competition is more than academic. It’s practical. We provide the tools to help these

aspiring businesspeople enter the ranks of our next generation of entrepreneurs,” added Weisband. “The stu-dents participating in this competition have spent months preparing in a rigorous academic program alongside our faculty, and have received mentoring and coaching from highly successful entrepre-neurs.”

Inglemoor High French teacher Jennifer Hallenbeck was chosen by the American Associa-tion of Teachers of French (AATF) to receive the 2012 AATF Dorothy S. Ludwig Excellence in Teaching Award at the Secondary School level. Hallenbeck will be honored at the AATF conference awards banquet on

July 7 in Chicago, Ill.Nominated by her col-

leagues in the state’s language teachers association, Hallen-beck is proud to be the second teacher in a row from Wash-ington to receive the national award.

“This reflects the fact that we have strong teachers in the region who

are well supported in their endeavors to open interna-tional doors to young people,”

said Hallenbeck. “In my years in the classroom, I have seen profound changes in young people who explore cultures other than their own.”

Hallenbeck has taught French for more than 27 years, the last 14 at Inglemoor in the International Baccalaureate program.

“We have a very active school language club and we are tied to the community through our French language immersion camp put on jointly with other local schools, our participation in local

Francophone activities, spon-sorship of a village empower-ment program in Senegal and exchanges with our sister school in Dijon, France,” she added.

The AATF chooses four annual awards for outstand-ing teachers at the elementary, middle, high-school and post-secondary levels. The awards recognize teachers who have demonstrated excellence and commitment in the teaching of the French language and French and Francophone cultures and literature.
