� e American holiday season has traditionally been marked by Christ-mas, � anksgiving and New Year’s celebrations, but many other religions and traditions celebrate holidays, festivals and host practices as well.

� e Northshore area is home to a wide and diverse variety of traditions and faiths, and as the greater Seattle area continues to grow, many more may start to grow.

Guru Tegh BahadurFor the Sikh tradition, Jes

Sing said they celebrate the

life of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth out of ten gurus, and his death on Nov. 24 in New Delhi.

Bahadur was a Sikh guru who lived while India was under the rule of a Muslim emperor, Sing said. � e em-peror wanted the residents to convert and summoned Bahadur to New Delhi where he hoped to convince him to adopt his religion.

When Bahadur and his � ve companions refused, Sing said three were executed and two were sent back to their village as messengers. When Bahadur refused to convert as well, he was beheaded.

Residents, council questions Puget Sound on power outage durationsBY AARON KUNKLER

[email protected]

� e atmosphere was tense during the Nov. 23 Kenmore City Coun-cil meeting. Around 25 residents took seats in the council chamber, many waiting to voice their con-cerns to councilmembers

and a representative from Puget Sound Energy (PSE) about widespread power outages a� er a Nov. 18 windstorm.

Long-time Kenmore resi-dent and business owner Russ Johnson was critical of PSE’s response.

“I felt a great deal of frustration about the loss of

contact I experienced with my customers,” he said.

Johnson owns Royal Journeys, a � shing expedi-tion operation. He said he talked with other business owners around town who are also frustrated with lost revenue.

Power outages in the area are fairly common a� er

large storms when branches and trees fall on power lines and equipment.

One area in particular in northwest Kenmore is served by circuit 26, which doesn’t follow a road. In all, there are nine separate cir-cuits that deliver power to Kenmore and most of those lines fallow roads. Circuit

26 lines run through back yards and private property, which PSE spokeswoman RaeLynn Asah said makes it di� cult to locate and repair damage.

City o� cials expressed frustration at their inability to � x the problem since PSE owns the infrastructure. PSE is responsible for keep-

ing lines clear and place-ment of damaged lines.

“We can’t do anything. If we could, we would,” said Kenmore Mayor David Baker.

Another long-time resident, Carl Michelman, addressed the council.

Bothell mayor pre-applies for Wayne development permitBY AARON KUNKLER

[email protected]

A development group, with which Bothell mayor Joshua Freed

is involved, has begun the pre-application process to allow development of 50 houses on the back nine of Wayne Golf Course, a

proposal which has caused unease in the Bothell com-munity. Many hope to see the back nine preserved as an open space.

Jesse Sears, president of OneBothell, a group dedi-cated to preserving Wayne Golf Course for a variety of reasons, including environ-mental concerns, said the

pre-application develop-ment process is standard practice for developers.

“He’s doing everything that a normal developer would do,” he said.

Pre-applying for develop-ment raises the appraised value of the property, allow-ing Freed, who is in nego-tiations with a preservation

group called Forterra, to raise the purchase price.

While the company does not yet own the land, the Richards family who cur-rently owns the property is in a binding agreement to sell to it, Sears said.

� e problem for the community, Sears thinks, is the perception that the

mayor is acting more in the interest of his development company at the expense of resident’s wishes.

“� e community feels like he’s trying to maximize his pro� ts against the com-munity,” Sears said.

Forterra has been in pur-chasing negotiations with the company since June,

when it agreed to sell the back nine to the organiza-tion. No potential appraisal price has been made public, but both Sears and recently elected Bothell City Council member and former presi-dent of OneBothell, James McNeal, believe Forterra has secured enough funds

Seattle reflects on this every year by taking turns reading scripture for around 48 hours, starting Nov. 23 and continuing until Nov. 25.

Hanukkah� is year, the Jewish holi-

day of Hanukkah begins on Dec. 6 at sundown and goes through Dec. 14.

Rabbi Yohanna Kinberg of the Congregation Kol Ami in Woodinville said that Ha-nukkah is more of a cultural

celebration than religious, marking the survival of the Jewish people over thousands of years of persecution.

“Really, it’s a holiday where we celebrate religious free-dom,” she said.

Kinberg said on Sunday, she will begin preparing

foods heavy in oil to com-memorate oil found in the Jerusalem temple in a victory over the ancient Greek army when they recaptured the city.

Also essential to the cel-ebration is the lighting of the Menorah, a nine candle holder, with one lit on each day of Hanuk-kah.

“I love everybody gathering around the Menorah and lighting the lights,” she said.

� e Congregation Kol Ami will be hosting a celebration at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 11, and a candlelight

meditation service for world peace the next day.

“Anybody is welcome to come and experience Hanukkah with our com-munity,” she said.

Bodhi DayWhile the Atam-mayatarama Bud-dhist Monastery in Woodinville doesn’t have any speci� c

celebrations planned, Abbot Ajahn Ritthi said

his monastery hosts medita-tion sessions from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. every Wednesday and from 9:30 a.m. to noon every Sunday.

� ere are six Buddhist holidays a year, Ritthi said. One which is commonly celebrated in the tradition is Bodhi Day on Dec. 8.

� e monastery also hosts a free library, which Ritthi encouraged the community to check out.

“� ey can come and learn, they can take a book,” he said.

Hindu TempleWhile the Hindu celebra-

tion of Diwali may have already passed this year, Hindu Temple and Cultural Center Chair Nit Niranjan said their center is always open for the public to come and pray, meditate or talk and improve themselves on a personal level.

“� e main emphasis is you need to do your job proper-ly,” he said. “You need to have love, respect and knowledge.”

He said people have many jobs, like being a good par-ent, loving spouse or work-ing hard in a professional environment.

� e temple houses many shrines with deities from various religious orders. Niranjan said their temple believes all prayers to any god, great teacher or prophet is sent to one God, so people of all or no religious persua-sions are welcome at the temple.

“� is religion survived because of what it stands for, it stands for humanity,” he said.

� e temple is anticipating more than 5,000 to come on New Years Day for prayers, food and community.

Mawlid an NabiWhile it is a controversial

celebration in some branches of Islam, others celebrate the Mawlid an Nabi, or the birthday of the Prophet Mu-hammad on Dec. 23. Ryan Welton from the Islamic Center of Bothell said they do not celebrate the tradi-tion, but they do celebrate Ramadan and the Hajj along with all Muslims.

� e Islamic Center is open for prayer daily.

Christmas EveFinally, the Bothell United

Methodist Church will be hosting three Christmas Eve services at 3, 7 and 11 p.m. to mark the celebration of the birth of Christ, the � gure central to the Christian faith. � ey will also be holding a choir concert at 2 p.m. on Dec. 20.

� e St. Brendan Catholic Church in Bothell will be holding a Christmas Eve Vigil Mass at 7 p.m.

I’m seeing it getting worse for the infrastructure of electric,” he said.

Many residents and councilmembers said they had to dispose of perish-able food, watched their computers and appliances overload and try to stay warm during the November storm.

“I don’t know how we’re going to work this,” Michel-man said.

PSE serves some 9,000 customers in Kenmore; they are the only electrical provider for the area. Many of these customers have family or friends living with them.

Asah said the city is served by the Inglewood Substation along with nine di� erent circuits. She said PSE is aware of their com-pany’s poor performance in Kenmore and said it’s work-ing on ways to � x it.

One way Asah said PSE is addressing the problem is trimming brush and branches away from lines every four years instead of six, and also suggested the city help their linemen with easements on private property, an idea which struck a sour chord with the council.

“I would say do every-thing you can to enforce

those easements,” Coun-cilman Brent Smith said. “It’s your responsibility to enforce that.”

Asah said the company is also working on installing a recloser on 195th Street, two new switches on 185th Street and a distribution automation in the Juanita area to decrease outage times. � ese improvements will be installed next year and assessed for another year, Asah said.

Another frustration expressed by residents was the duration of the outages, which they felt was longer than surrounding areas.

Power to Kenmore, Asah said, was restored before many surrounding areas in Snohomish and King Counties.

Concerns about Kenmore being at the ‘end of the line’ were also expressed, leading to other areas willfully be-ing restored � rst.

“I can tell you that’s not true at all,” Asah said. “We restore power to every com-munity based on the exact same metrics.”

PSE’s metric for restoring power is based on a priority list, Asah said.

Power is � rst restored to main lines, then priority targets such as hospitals and water treatment plants and � nally private custom-

ers and distribution lines. In this last storm, Asah

said, the main line supply-ing power to Kenmore was downed, which the com-pany had to restore before they could begin working on smaller outages.

Weather woes were also blamed for outages in Au-gust due to drought-strick-en trees becoming more brittle and breaking on lines during what the company said was the third-strongest storm in the last decade.

Councilwoman Laurie Sperry took a so� er tone, thanking PSE for restoring power to Kenmore City Hall early, allowing them to use it as an emergency community center, but said it would be better if outages were reduced.

“It does a� ect us, so any-thing you can do to shorten that duration,” she said.

Finally, the idea of burying power cables was � oated multiple times, an idea which Asah said may

not make a di� erence.“We can see and repair

overhead power lines much easier than underground,” she said.

Kenmore’s contract with PSE will be expiring soon,

and city o� cials said they will continue negotiation the terms of a renewal.

Nov. 24 was a busy day for the Bothell Police Depart-ment as they responded to a morning intoxicated driving crash, as well as a welfare check turned suicide investi-gation later in the day.

Around 8:30 a.m., Bothell police responded to a two car collision on 240th Street Southeast and 45th Avenue Southeast involving a red Toyota 4-Runner which had smashed head-on into a Cadillac sports utility vehicle before running into a fence, according to the Bothell

Police Blog. � e driver of the 4-Run-

ner was determined to be high on unknown narcotics at the time, and police said the occupants of the vehicle are believed to have been committing car prowls and the� s the evening before before, previous to dropping o� their stolen property.

Injuries were reported, though the nature and sever-ity are unknown at this time.

Around 1 p.m., police also responded to a welfare check call in the 19300 block of State Route 527, Bothell Police Sgt. Ken Seuberlich said.

A 33-year-old man lived at the house, and Bothell Police Department Captain Denise Nielsen said the man’s mother had called in a wel-fare check a� er not hearing from him for days.

When they arrived at the residence, a single gunshot was heard inside.

“� en, of course, at that point it’s just secure the area,” Seuberlich said.

A King County Sheri� ’s O� ce robot equipped with a camera was used to enter the premise, where police determined the man had killed himself.

Nielsen said it’s not known

why the man killed him-self, nor was she aware of any criminal investigations involving the man.

“� is time of the year tends to be very di� cult for a lot of people, and we tend to see more situations happen this time of year unfortu-nately,” Nielsen said.

SR 527 was closed until around 5 p.m.

He dressed me for work, for vacation and, more recently, for retirement. I tried never to miss his summer sidewalk sale and always stopped in around the holidays, too.

Bothell letter writer cherry-picks data

Talijah Vaotogo of Bothell led in a letter, “If the world was blind, how many people would you impress.”

Vaotogo added to mysteriousness of that by possibly inadvertently writing a letter that cherry-picks data in order to make a point.

But Vaotogo is right that racism is a problem but doesn’t note that it is more so of an issue today than it was in 2008, when a clear majority of those who voted showed little penchant for racism in electing a black president.

A good case can be made that actions on the part of this administration has created this change.

Vaotogo identi� es the need to stop “stereotyp-ing and racial pro� ling” identi� ers of racism today, without noting that they involve general-izing from numbers of exposure. If one expects to see Hispanics near our southern border it is because of experience.

But most egregiously, Vaotogo identi� es inci-dents that he/she thinks re� ects racism without identifying the speci� cs of each. In the Michael Brown case, it was clear he robbed a store, and apparently those, including blacks, who found the o� cer innocent believed witnesses who testi-� ed Brown attacked the o� cer. In the Tamir Rice case, he aimed a gun at the o� cer and it should be made clear even to a kindergartner that doing so, especially under the kind of circumstances involved in this case, carries consequences. And in the Eric Garner case, if you violently resist arrest, you must expect a determined e� ort to subdue that resistance regardless of your color.

Vaotogo cherry picks by stating that the o� cers involved used terms like “appeared aggressive” (appeared when attacked, point a gun, resist arrest?) apparently in reports that he/she is quoting. � at makes clear the reading of those reports must have involved very selective perception.

Racial tensions are not con� ned to one race. � ose that result in harm to individuals arise out of limited understanding and capacity for empathy. Being “blind” has many causes and manifestations making “impressing” particularly di� cult.Richard Pelto, Kenmore

Personal pleasure has replaced moral and family-enriching values in Bothell

I � nd it concerning that the pride of Bothell is getting tax money from high tra� c pot shops and the proliferation of venues for alcohol con-sumption like McMenimans in the downtown area.

Is this shallow activity, which centers on

personal pleasure, really a social and cultural achievement to celebrate so highly? I see endless measures being taken to attract all-too-o� en clueless young people and big developers to the detriment of those who have invested most of their lives to serving and supporting the com-munity.

� e tra� c is more than annoying; it’s danger-ous and disgusting.

Because of lousy planning, we have lost much of the natural beauty along our now congested roads. If I wanted to live in a high density envi-ronment with neighbors who have dulled their senses and dropped IQ points from being doped up and intoxicated, I would move to Seattle, the Sodom of the Northwest.

Bothell was at one time a great place to raise your kids. Not so anymore from the standpoint of where we’re headed. It’s currently all about money, being politically correct and looking “progressive” as opposed to upholding strong civic-minded, moral and family-enriching values.

We need to think a lot more about who’s running our city government and re� ect about what our legacy should be.

We need to restore decency and higher objectives, not focus on wheeling and dealing, and spinning our image to appear like this is Carnival Central.Nancy Kasper, Bothell

Racial letter devoid of factsMy wife and I read with disgust the opinion

of Talijah Vaotogo. Having armed ourselves with facts not usually found in mainstream media these days, we quickly picked out the false nar-ratives Vaotogo was pushing on his targeted audience – us. For starters, Eric Garner was not killed by a so called – illegal chokehold. Garner had heart disease, severe asthma and was obese; O� cer Pantaleo used a submission hold, not barred by NYPD restraint techniques, to restrain Garner. Autopsy showed Garner died from cardiac arrest, not asphyxiation as there was no damage to the windpipe or neck bones. Not that the fact matters, but if it is of any importance to you, Garner was a huge man who resisted arrest when ordered to surrender. He had a history of 30 arrests dating back to 1980 to include assault and grand larceny. Even in the wildly liberal city like New York, Pantaleo was exonerated of wrong doing by his peers. While I agree there may be

grounds for concluding that excessive force was used, if you so much as wonder why things like this could ever happen, then perhaps you should rethink le� ist way of governance. Yes, Garner was arrested a� er being warned in the past for selling unlicensed/untaxed cigarettes called “loosies,” and if you think having laws to regulate every minutia doesn’t have consequences, think again. Someone has to enforce those laws the politicians passed and in this case, and as always - the police o� cers. Now when someone resists arrest, people can get hurt or die as a result of stupid laws like this because physical confronta-tion always has an element of “unpredictability.”

On Michael Brown, before his fatal encoun-ter with O� cer Wilson, he had just robbed a convenience store of Swisher Sweets cigars and manhandled the small framed store clerk when the clerk attempted to stop him from walk-

ing o� with the loot. Wilson did not know Brown was the robbery suspect he heard

over the radio when he encountered him. When ordered not to walk in the middle of the road, Brown, the not so “gentle giant,” shut Wilson’s door on him

as he was trying to get out of his unit. In the ensuing struggle, based on evidence such

as blood spatter, shell casings and ballistic tests, the facts revealed Brown had assaulted Wilson and reached for Wilson’s weapon. As if only facts are in the way of Vaotogo’s baseless allega-tion, all evidence examined by the Grand Jury and even autopsy performed by the medical examiner hired by Brown’s family supported Wilson’s account of the event. � e “gentle giant” was actually not so gentle, and he was in fact charging Wilson a� er reaching for his weapon. I love le� ist community agitators like Vaotogo, who gets to throw out emotional and fact-absent allegations to stir people then aren’t held accountable. � ey are like short sellers on Wall Street, who pro� ts wildly from hyper devaluing companies and then walk away in the carnage they le� for the shareholders still holding those companies’ assets.

Lastly, while tragic, O� cers Garmback and Loehmann from the Cleveland Police Depart-ment were only told that a male was pointing “a pistol” at random people in the Cudell Recre-ation Center. Justice Suarve, Bothell

Reporter Newspapers

The summer a� er his sophomore year in high school, Ryan

Smith knew he was interested in � re� ghting.

So he began looking into the di� erent options and pro-grams available to him as a high school student. Initially, as a Running Start student, he planned to enter the � re sci-ence degree program at Bel-levue College (BC). However, he said that following school year, BC closed the program. Following this news, Smith’s school counselor at Emerson K-12 in Kirkland suggested he enroll in the � re and EMS course through the Wash-ington Network for Innova-tive Careers (WANIC) Skill Center.

An inter-district e� ort

WANIC is a consortium made up of seven school districts from the Eastside: Bellevue, Issaquah, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, Northshore, Riverview and Snoqualmie Valley. � rough this partnership, the districts share career and technical education (CTE) programs and high school students from any of the participating districts are able to enroll in any of the courses — even those whom are not at their home school or home district.

Courses are o� ered at a number of locations through-out the districts, including Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWIT) in Kirk-land and DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond as well as in schools in the Northshore, Bellevue and Is-saquah school districts. And as in Running Start, students must provide their own transportation to get to these courses.

And while courses are o� ered all over the Eastside, Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is the host district for WANIC.

Dan Phelan, career techni-cal education (CTE) director for LWSD, said in this role,

they are responsible for budgeting, auditing account-ing and reporting WANIC programs. In addition, he said students in any of the WANIC programs will ap-pear as LWSD Skill Center student enrollment — one of the reasons the district had a higher-than-average spike in enrollment this school year, as previously reported.

And because WANIC is part of public school districts, there is no cost to students. However, there may be course or lab fees for supplies and other costs, just as typical high school courses may require.

Phelan added that if students � nd themselves un-able to pay any required fees, WANIC will � nd the funds to help them.

“Money should never hold a kid back (from enrolling in the program),” he said.

Fields of studyWANIC is a state-ap-

proved inter-district CTE consortium, WANIC’s primary mission is to provide quality, diverse and cost-e� ective career and technical education for all students.

“It was established to provide advanced-level career and technical education program based upon rigor-ous academic and industry standards to prepare students for post-secondary educa-tion and successful entry in to high-skill, high-demand careers and employment,” Phelan said.

In addition, Karen Hay, director of WANIC, said students can also receive col-lege credits for the WANIC courses they take, bringing them that much closer to a degree. WANIC classes can also shorten the time it takes for them to earn speci� c certi� cations in their chosen � eld.

� e di� erent areas of study o� ered through WANIC are arts, media, communication and design; business manage-ment; natural resources and agri-science; engineering, sci-ence and technology; health and human services; and information technology.

Speci� c WANIC courses include interior design; hor-ticulture; welding technol-ogy, design and fabrication; DigiPen robotics and future technologies; sports medi-cine; CISCO Networking Academy and � re and EMS.

Hay said WANIC has 13 skill centers that are three class periods long and in which students can earn three credits. She said the program also o� ers 1-2 credit courses that are one period long. � ere are also three-week courses students can take during the summer.

Career trainingSmith enrolled in the � re

and EMS course his junior year and now, as a senior, is still in the program.

“It’s a great program,” he said.

In the � re and EMS course, Smith has gained � re� ght-

ing, � rst aid and medical knowledge. Smith said his class also includes spending time at various � re stations in the area for more hands-on experiences such as receiv-ing bunker gear, performing drills and working in student “company” groups just as � re� ghters work in engine companies.

Jack Greaves — who is the director of the � re and EMS program and runs First-In Training and Education, the nonpro� t WANIC hired to run the courses — said stu-dents learn basic fundamen-tals of � re� ghting and � rst responder medical training and also learn to work to-gether in teams. He said this gives them the opportunity to get comfortable with the duties they would be tasked with on the job.

When asked if he would have participated in such a

program if it was available to him when he was in high school, Greaves — a Bothell � re� ghter — said he de� -nitely would have signed up. Greaves added that a former � re chief he brought in to speak with students one day voiced his amazement that such a course is available to high school students.

In addition to the technical and skills training they re-ceive through WANIC, both Greaves and Smith said there are skills students learn that can be applied to any � eld. � ese include leadership and communication skills, ac-countability and punctuality.

Smith added that the WANIC courses are char-acter building and they give students the opportunity

to meet and connect with other students they probably would not have otherwise because they are in di� er-ent schools and districts. He said the people — students and instructors alike — are his favorite inbeing part of WANIC. Smith said he is still in contact with students from last year and has become close friends with a number of people.

A win-winWhile WANIC exposes

students to possible career paths and o� ers an a� ord-able option to set them on that path, the program may also have the opposite e� ect: Students may go through a course only to learn that they do not want to pursue a career in that particular � eld.

“� at’s a win,” Hay said, because it saves them time and money as they are not spending years paying for college courses they learn they do not enjoy.

She said that lesson is just as important to learn as � nd-ing your passion.

Smith agreed, saying it is de� nitely good to learn whether you are really interested in a � eld before spending thousands of dol-lars to attend college (or in his case a � re� ghting academy) only to learn you don’t like the subject matter.

Fortunately for Smith, he has learned he really does enjoy � re� ghting.

New condominiums could be on the way for Bothell

along State Route 522 in a land sale between the city and Windward Real Estate.

Block A has been marked as surplus property and slated to be sold as part of the ongoing downtown revitalization project.

Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe said the nearly acre-sized property adja-cent to Bothell Landing will be turned into 24 condo-miniums to meet the grow-ing demand for housing in the city.

“� ere’s a lot of interest for residential housing,” he said.

A representative for Windward Real Estate said it’s too early to comment on speci� c plans, but said they are in talks with the city. � e company is also looking into access points and soil conditions at the property.

If a deal is met, the city could sell the 38,500-square-foot plot for more than $27 per square foot, bringing in more than $1 million to continue funding for the downtown revitalization plan.

� e city has also sold, or is looking to sell, more than ten other plots for develop-ment around downtown, including the properties already sold and developed by Six Oaks and McMe-namins.

� ree large plots near Pop Keeney Stadium could be sold to Main Street Property Group for residential, retail and o� ce stores.

Boulevard Place owns the old Safeway location along State Route 527 and could develop it into 285 senior housing units with o� ce and retail space as well.

Another plot, known as Block EFG on the northeast corner of SR 522 and SR 527, is slated to be devel-oped into a drug store,

retail and o� ce spaces, and a plot across SR 527 could be turned into a specialty grocery outlet.

Many property sales

and development o� ers will be presented to the City Council beginning in December, Stowe said.

Kenmore recognized by League of American Bicyclists

� e League of American Bicyclists has recognized the city of Kenmore as an “honorable mention” Bicycle Friendly Commu-nity (BFC). � e four-year designation, received a� er careful review of the city’s application materials, is presented only to commu-nities with strong commit-ments to bicycling.

Kenmore is one of only 27 new communities across the country to receive an “honorable mention” award during this round of ap-plicants and joins the list of

18 communities in Wash-ington State to be recog-nized as a Bicycle Friendly Community. Washington is ranked as the No. 1 bicycle friendly state in the nation. Other Washington communities include Red-mond, Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma, among others. In addition to the communi-ty’s recognition, Kenmore is home to Corpore Sano Physical � erapy/Bike PT, a recognized bicycle-friendly business.

� e city is actively in-volved in making changes that positively impact bicycle safety. � rough our Target Zero Initiative, we have implemented various new projects and programs to help us reach our goal of zero bicycle or pedes-trian fatalities or serious

injuries by 2025. Examples of improvements include widening the shoulder and adding cyclist mark-ings along Juanita Drive and rechanneling 61st Avenue Northeast to one lane in each direction with a center le� turn lane and shoulder bicycle lanes.

“� e city is proud to see our e� orts in making Kenmore a more bicycle friendly community rec-ognized by the League of American Bicyclists,” said Kenmore Mayor David Baker. “Kenmore is a wonderful community and we will continue to expand multimodal transportation to ensure Kenmore is a safe, family friendly com-munity.”

� e BFC “honorable mention” is an important

step in obtaining bronze status and recognizes Kenmore’s commitment to improving conditions for bicycling through invest-ment in bicycling promo-tion, education programs, infrastructure and engi-neering, and pro-bicycling policies.

For more information on the city of Kenmore’s Target Zero Initiative, visit www.kenmorewa.gov/tar-getzero.

� e League of American Bicyclists, founded in 1880 to advocate for better roads for bicycling, represents 57 million cyclists in its mis-sion to lead the movement to create a bicycle-friendly America for everyone.

NSD bond re� nancing saves taxpayers $2.7 million

� e Northshore School District has re� nanced its callable 2004 and 2005 bonds on Nov. 18 to take advantage of lower interest rates, which are projected to save taxpayers $2.7 mil-lion over the next three years. � e savings � ow directly to taxpayers through reduced tax lev-ies and are not available for district expenses.

“Re� nancing existing debt to take advantage of lower interest rates re-duces taxes for our com-munity. We continually work with our � nancial team to seek opportuni-ties like this to achieve taxpayer savings,” said Northshore School District Superintendent Larry Francois.

� e Northshore School Board accom-plished these savings by approving the issuance of an amount not to exceed $43 million in refunding bonds at its meeting held on Oct. 13. � e district has been actively moni-toring bond market con-ditions, and recent low interest rates allowed the district to exceed its sav-ings target. Interest rates averaged 0.87 percent on the new bonds compared to 5.115 percent on the old debt.

Additional district � nancial information is available online at www.nsd.org/businessservices or by contacting Business Services at 425-408-7630.

NSD seeking parents for PASS committee

Northshore School District Special Services Department is seeking parent applicants for the newly established Parent Advisory for Student Success (PASS) committee.

to purchase the property. Funding is secured through private investors and state and county grants, which must be paid back.

Sears said while these funds are � uid, he believes there has been enough � -nancial interest for Forterra to proceed, even though OneBothell is not privy to negotiations.

Despite community concerns, Sears also thinks Freed will continue negotia-tions with Forterra.

A joint statement, issued by Forterra and the poten-tial development company from Nov. 23, states they are in a voluntary transac-tion negotiated in “good faith,” that Forterra was aware of the pre-application meetings and that external communications about the e� ort were “premature and inappropriate.” It also stated the time elapsed since the June agreement is “both normal and expected.”

In a statement, city of Bothell representatives, who are not privy to the negotiations, said they hope “that Forterra is successful in their e� orts” to buy the property.

McNeal said the e� ort to raise property value before sale was worrisome.

“I’m very disappointed, to say the least, at the ap-proach (Freed is) taking with this,” he said. “As a man, as a Washingtonian, I don’t even understand it.”

McNeal resigned his position as the president of OneBothell when he was elected to the city council on Nov. 3 to avoid a con� ict of interest and said the idea of keeping Wayne as an open space has been in the city’s comprehensive plan for nearly two decades.

“Is there really a reason to change that to allow ad-ditional building next to a habitat that you’re trying to preserve or restore,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense to me, I would not do that to

my community.” A phone call to Freed was

not returned as of Mon-day a� ernoon, but Bothell Councilman Mark Lamb, who is a representative for the development company, directed inquiries to the joint statement.

Negotiations have been occurring over the future of the Wayne Golf Course since the owner, Dave Rich-ards, sent the city of Bothell a notice the golf course was up for sale in November of 2013.

� e Bothell City Council declined to make an o� er on the property during an executive session and then a sale agreement was reached between the development company, with ties to Freed, and the Richards family.

Aside from preserving open spaces for community use, many groups interested in the Wayne properties are concerned about the salmon habitat in the Sam-mamish River which runs along the back nine of the course.

� e river, and another stream which runs through the back nine, provide spawning grounds for the salmon, who are adversely a� ected by warming water temperatures, which Sears said development on the course would create.

Preserving as much open space as possible in a quickly developing Bothell is what McNeal said he will be focused on during his term on council.

“Not everything can be saved, but the point is you have to try,” he said.

Bothell City Councilman Tom Agnew said he hopes the mayor sells the property to Forterra.

“I just hope the mayor and his sta� try to do the right thing for the citizens of Bothell. � at’s all we can hope for,” he said. “� ey have an opportunity to do the right thing, and do something very signi� cant for the city and the citizens.”

Bourbon and milk with a dash of nutmeg on top is

Marie Martin’s favorite Christmas drink, though on Tuesday night she was sipping on a martini.

Sitting in a chair, surrounded by family in her water-view Ken-more house, the life-long Seattle-area resident turned 100 years old.

Massive paintings hang from the walls, all of them carefully drawn up and filled in by her masterful fingers. Martin has been an artists ever since the day her then 22-year-old godfather showed her the ropes in 1922.

“He put the paint brush in my hand, and showed me, and I fell in love right away,” she said.

Her paintings can be found all over Kenmore, from friends houses to the Inglemoor Golf Club, where she used to spend much of her time and was even a golf club captain in 1958.

Martin grew up north

of Ballard, when the city line only extended to Northwest 85th Street. Living north of that line, she remembers when her

address was listed as Everett.

Later, she and her father moved onto a house boat and attended a kindergarten where she made one of her earliest memories during a rare Seattle snow

storm.“When it snowed in Se-

attle, my father put me up

on his back and walked me to school,” she said.

A love of water kept Martin in the area, par-ticularly a love of swim-ming. When she was four years old, her father put her in a life preserver and set her in the water. She said her arms instantly shot out, and she started paddling the instant she hit the water.

“I just loved it, and I always have,” she said.

Later, she would go on to attend Cascade Grade School and Broadway High School, where she

met her husband, Ken as a sophomore.

Martin said she was dating one of Ken’s friends and neighbors, Jim, at the time, and after school she would see both of them. After she and Jim broke up, her and Ken bumped into each other again three years later.

“Ken happened to be there (the Everstate Dance Club) at the same time, and we danced,” she said. “Ken said, ‘I have a feeling I’ll see you again.’”

He did, and eventu-

ally they were married in 1936, during the height of the Great Depression.

Matin loves cats, including Beaujolais, her current cat, but a smile crossed her face as she remembered her favorite one, Gummy.

Her husband was work-ing in the garden when they noticed a sign for kittens in the neighbor-hood. She asked Ken about getting one, and she said she can still remember the way he shook his head. Need-

less to say, they ended up with Gummy, who was a Siamese, and whose color Ken thought looked like a gray piece of gum.

Ken and Marie moved to their house in Kenmore in 1970, where they made a life for themselves.

“She’s been putting up with us for 100 years,” her grandson, Brian Martin, said.

And as she took anoth-er sip of her martini, she cracked another smile.

“Hey listen, I ain’t over yet.”

Two Inglemoor runners help Washington beat Oregon at Nike Border Clash

Inglemoor High School athletes Nick Laccinole and Rebecca Ledsham helped Washington win in the an-nual Nike Border Clash in Beaverton, Ore. on Sunday. � e race features the top high school runners from Washington and Oregon.

“(I am) really proud of both of these kids,” said In-glemoor coach Kelly Rich-

ards. “� ey have had great seasons and represented Inglemoor well against some of the best runners that the Northwest has to of-fer.”

Laccin-ole placed sixth overall, third for the Washington team, in a time of 15-min-utes, 44-seconds over 5,000 meters. He got out with the leaders and ran strong the entire race. His � nish earned him a spot on the podium and a trophy.

Ledsham placed 38th overall in a time of 19:21. She was 22nd for the Wash-ington team.

“She passed several run-ners in the last mile and had a strong kick,” Richards said.

Mendenhall helps team to third

graduate from 2013 and former Viking cross country runner, helped his team to place third this past weekend at the Division II Cross Country Champion-ships.

If approved by the King County Council, the Ken-more Community Club could receive a $10,000 grant from funds originally slated to pay o� the Kingdome in Seattle.

� e Kenmore Community Club is one of more than 100 arts, heritage and cultural or-ganizations in King County to receive a slice of the $28 million revenue pie.

Club president David Evans said they already have plans for the funds.

“It’s all about making the interior modern and at the same time restoring it to its original historical look,” Ev-ans said. “We’re very excited.”

Evans said the club will match the grant, for a total of $20,000, which they will use to renovate the interior. Exterior renovations at the

club were undertaken earlier this year.

Kenmore Community Club was built in the 1930s, and Evans said that ever since it’s been open to area residents for weddings, dances, birthdays, religious and cultural events among a whole slew of additional gatherings centered around bringing the community together.

“It has been used for exactly that purpose in an unbroken timeline for 90 years,” Evans said. “It’s really a wonderful cross-section of our area here in the Puget Sound.”

� e club is also a county-designated landmark, which Evans said makes it easier for them to secure funding from sources such as the King-dome funds grant.

� ese funds came a� er the county paid o� its Kingdome construction and mainte-

nance debts earlier this year, 15 years a� er the stadium was demolished.

� e Kingdome was fund-ed through the county’s taxes on hotels and motels, which is around a couple cents per dollar spent on lodging. � is funding was slated to continue paying o� the debt through the end of 2015.

Since repayment was completed early, the state designated the funds, which have accrued during the remainder of this year, to be turned over to 4Culture, a King County public develop-ment authority.

“A lot of the reason it’s been paid o� early is the overall economic boom in our area,” said 4Culture spokeswoman Christina DePaulo.

Part of the boom, DePaulo said, has been from the Se-ahawks’ performance over the past few seasons, which

brings in fans from all across the region, but DePaulo said it wasn’t the main reason.

“� e overall story of the impact really is the constant increase in tourism and people staying in hotels in the King County region in the past couple years,” she said.

4Culture traces its roots back to 1956, when the county started the King County Arts Commission. Since then, its been through many di� erent iterations, but it’s core focus remains

funding public arts, heritage and cultural sites and activi-ties and preserving existing landmarks, among others.

“We end up funding the majority of the arts and cul-tural projects in King County through a variety of ways,” DePaulo said.

King County Councilman and Kenmore representative Rod Dembowski said that funding was almost turned down until he advocated for the club to receive the money.

“� ere’s been a backlog

of projects that have not received funding for many years, so it’s an exciting op-portunity,” he said.

Also receiving funding is the Shoreline Historical So-ciety with a $250,000 grant, and the Shoreline Veteran’s Memorial to the tune of $20,000.

While the funds have not been approved yet, Dem-bowski said he thinks the council will approve it largely as-is.

“My sense is the alloca-tions as they exist today is primarily what you’ll see,” he said.

Evans said the club is ready to continue serving the greater Seattle area.

“People, they need to know that its mission is just community welfare, you don’t have to live in a par-ticular place to be a member,” he said.

Since 1979, Paul Richards Desilet and his wife Cathy have owned and operated Paul Richards Clothing in downtown Bothell. In the process they have become a beloved community staple.

A� er decades of business, Paul Desilet said they’ve � nally come to the decision to close up shop and retire a� er years of searching for someone to take over their shop failed to turn up any buyers. Last week they began a liquidation sale.

“It’s been a great ride, wonderful,” Desilet said.

Paul Richards Clothing sells high-quality garments at what Desilet said is the most competitive price he can sell them for, and judging by their business’s longevity, the community

took note.“We chose the products

that we sell because we thought they were the best in the market for the price,” he said. “Treat the customer right, selling the right prod-uct - we both win.”

His favorite part of the job was � tting a customer with the best clothes for

them individually, Desilet said.

Desilet and his wife bought the store from pharmacists Alex and Lois Sidie, also longtime area residents, a� er working in their clothing store at the same location.

Since then, the Desilets have purchased the building with other owners. As they move on, Paul Desilet said they will remain a part of the community, and will ensure future tenants are quality businesses who resi-dents will appreciate.

“I frankly wish we could continue this in someone else’s stead, someone else would purchase this store, but we don’t see it,” he said.

As a younger man, the 66-year-old said he never thought his business would blossom into one of the premier stores in Bothell.

He and his wife had a young son in 1979, and were just focused on making ends meet.

“As the years go on - and others before me are the seniors up and down the street - and as they retire and move on, I kind of climbed the ladder and tried to make a solid business here that would provide for my customers,” he said.

As development in down-

town Bothell increases with city initiatives like the down-town revitalization project, a plan designed to attract businesses and increase infrastructure, Desilet said he’s grateful to have been in on the ground � oor.

More importantly, Desilet said, is the faces he saw pass through his door day-in and day-out.

“I have totally enjoyed the relationships we’ve built over

the years, and we just send out a heartfelt thank you to everyone for supporting us,” he said.

Paul Richards Clothing will be open as they sell o� their remaining stock, a� er which the Desilets will be closing shop and retiring.

� e business is located at 10127 Main Street, Both-ell and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

MOD Pizza celebrated the grand opening of their Canyon Park location on Oct. 23 by donating 100 percent of pizza sales to the Northshore Schools Foundation to support in-dividualized learning op-portunities for all students. On Nov. 3, the MOD Pizza team presented the Foundation with a check for $4,422.88 to enhance learning opportunities for students and support the mission of the Foundation.

� e grand opening was

attended by more than 400 people who not only enjoyed great pizza but also enjoyed the free photo booth, giveaways and personalizing the location with stickers with their name.

� e � rst 52 people re-ceived free pizza.

“� is is what we hope will be the beginning of a lasting partner-ship – building a genuine connection between MOD and community members,” MOD representatives said in a statement. “We love providing MODsters with the opportunity to feel the emotional rush of that comes with giving back and it means that much more when it’s a cause they have chosen themselves. And the Goodness doesn’t stop there. Studies show that giving has count-less bene� t for the giver including gratitude –one of MOD’s most important values.”

In a continuation of this giving back, MOD Pizza has also chosen North-shore Schools Foundation for their Spreading MOD-ness campaign this year. � e Spreading MODness campaign celebrated the � anksgiving holiday and the company’s seventh birthday by donating $1 for every MOD Pizza pur-chased during � anksgiv-ing week, Nov. 24-29.

On Black Friday, typi-cally a day of spending, MOD is encouraging customers to give back and “add a buck” to their bill to double the donation and double the impact.

“We have grown this business with the intention to impact as many lives as possible. To do this, we start with our MOD Squad and encourage them to

make a di� erence, both in our stores and within their communities. Our Squads are very motivated by this purpose beyond pizza, and the chance to ‘Spread MODness’ which we de� ne as the ripple e� ect of simply doing the right thing,” said co-founder of MOD Pizza Ally Svenson. “We are proud to once again partner with such an inspiring group of local organizations to not only support their amazing e� orts, but to promote generosity – one of MOD’s core values.”

MOD Pizza is located at 22833 Bothell Everett High Way in Bothell.
