11 critical home inspection traps to be aware of weeks before listing your home for sale.

According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In

most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11

Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-269-1403 and enter 2843. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The man believed to have been the driver in a single vehicle

accident Sept. 19 on Si-monds Road in Kirkland has been accused by King County Prosecutor’s Office of being a “danger to the community” after leaving the scene of the accident that left one of the passen-gers dead.

Bail has been set at $100,000.

Thomas Cushman Bird, II of Woodinville, 48, was charged with vehicu-lar homicide, vehicular assault and hit and run. Although he has no felony convictions, prosecutors stated he has an exten-sive history of violating traffic laws going back to 1989, including negligent driving, reckless driv-ing, hit and run attended and unattended and no valid operator’s license with valid identification (NVOL).

“The defendant cannot or will not comply with the rules of the road and now a man has died,” the charging papers claim. “He is a danger to the community.”

The accident occurred late in the evening on Sept. 19 after Bird had been drinking at a local Kirkland casino with several friends, including Kenmore resident and Redmond High School graduate Kyle J. Reel and Dave “Beaver” Zielinski, one of the fisherman on the boat “Time Bandit,” featured on Discovery Channel’s Dead-liest Catch. Then they left in a Porsche Bird had borrowed from a friend. At around 10:45 p.m., police claim Cushman was going around 80 mph in a 35 mph zone when he lost control, crossed into the oncom-ing lane, left the roadway and crashed into a fence and up an embankment at Simonds Road Northeast and 92nd Avenue North-east. The impact threw Reel, who had been sitting behind the driver’s seat, into the front of the car, causing him to suffer fatal injuries. When responding bystanders arrived they mistakenly believed he was the driver and pulled him out. Barely conscious

from severe rib fractures, Zielinski told people that “Bird” had been driving, which police at the scene assumed was a nickname for Reel, the presumed driver.

Prosecutors allege that Bird left the scene of the accident immediately, despite suffering signifi-

cant injuries, and walked to Zielinski’s home three miles away. He was discov-ered there the next morning when a friend arrived to take care of Zielin-ski’s dogs. After explaining to her

what had happened, Bird allegedly told the person not to contact the police or medics. It was then the police discovered that Reel was not the driver.

Police were then in-formed that a Shoreline medic unit had responded to a Zielinski residence to treat Bird, who eventually was transported to Habor-view Medical Center. Bird allegedly had injuries that were consistent with that of a car accident, accord-ing to the medic supervi-sor who contacted the

police. They also claimed Bird had admitted to the medics he had been driv-ing the Porsche.

The Reporter first be-came aware of the mis-taken identity after it was contacted by Anita Reel, Kyle Reel’s mother. Anita Reel insisted her son had not been behind the wheel and would not have driven while intoxicated. Kirk-land Police Department officials, while maintain-ing that the crash was still under investigation, con-firmed her claims that her son was not the driver. The blood alcohol level of Bird could not be confirmed by police.

At the hospital, Kirkland police questioned Bird, who allegedly stopped speaking with them once he learned Reel had been killed. He was arrested and then released on his own recognizance.

During the followup investigation, casino video footage showed Bird had consumed at least six alcoholic beverages at the Kirkland casino approxi-mately between 8:05-10:17 p.m. The footage also showed Bird getting into the driver’s seat of the Porsche as it left the casino

at around 10:34 p.m. After news got out

about Reel’s death, friends and family have also left photos and flowers at the site of the crash. His cel-ebration of life ceremony was held Sept. 28 at the VFW Hall in Redmond. A lifelong self-employed businessman, he eventu-ally moved up to Bristol

Bay in Alaska to work as a fisherman and was described by his mother as honest and funny.

“What a blessing it was to even know him,” she said.

In addition to his mother, Anita, Kyle Reel is survived by his father, Wilbur, as well as his brothers, Shaun and Chad.

Driver of car that crashed in Kirkland, killing Kenmore man, charged

“The defendant cannot or will not comply with the rules of the road

and now a man has died. He is a danger to the community.”

Charging papers state

Sheriff honored as champion for children

King County Sheriff John Urquhart received the Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Champion for Washington’s Children Award for his work on

behalf of early learning on Nov. 13. Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Wash-ington State Director Laura Wells presented the award to Sheriff Urquhart during the King County Chiefs’ Meeting at the Criminal Justice Training Center in Burien.

In testimony before the Senate Early Learn-ing and K-12 Committee in Olympia, Urquhart said “We can’t arrest our way out of society’s problems. We have to come up with other solutions. One of these solutions is high quality early learning.”

Bothell High School football, it’s a lot more than a game

There has been some negative press swirl-ing connected to Cougar football this year. It’s important to have those honest conversa-tions. There is another conversation about Bothell Cougar football that is also impor-tant. On Friday nights in Bothell, Pop Keeney comes alive. The lights, the crowds, the band, the sounding of the train horn echoes in our city and tells us it’s time for Bothell Cougar football. For one Bothell High School senior it has been a lot more than a football game, it’s been life changing. If you ever meet Daniel Honda it’s likely that one of the first things he’ll tell you about himself is that he is the Bothell High School football team man-ager. He has run the practice clock for the varsity players for the last three years.

Daniel Honda has a rare genetic abnormal-ity called Potocki-Lupski syndrome. As a re-sult of this rare disorder Dan has difficulties learning, speaking and socializing. As Dan-iel’s mother, I’m aware he has struggled with many things, but the feelings of isolation and loneliness have been the most painful part of Dan’s journey.

Dan loves football and when he was given a chance to help out with the football team, he overcame his fears and gave it his all. From the beginning Daniel was embraced by the coaches, the players and everyone involved with Bothell Cougar football as a vital part of the team. Daniel is included as a Bothell Cougar watching the games from the side-lines, riding the team bus, participating in team meetings and was even invited by the Bothell Cougar linemen to join them in their team dinners. You can see Dan on Friday nights in his letterman jacket, watching every play, cheering with the amazing fans, dancing with the cheerleaders, and giving the count-down for the infamous end of game Cougar chant, “One, two, three, four, I want to be a Bothell Cougar, I want to wear the blue and white…!” I cannot tell you how many times our family has been prompted to join Dan randomly in that chant at home.

When Dan was named team manager that first year and given a varsity letter he changed. For the first time in his life he stood tall and proud. There isn’t a way to place a value on that type of gift. There are some things we cannot measure. The feeling of being valued is one of them. From the boosters, to the coaches, to the players, the cheer squad, the band, the fans, every partici-pant in this Cougar family has embraced this boy with special needs as an individual who has worth. Every “atta boy,” high five and “hi Dan” in the high school hallways has bol-stered Dan’s spirit. He is seen.

Daniel is not the only special needs student invited to participate with Cougar football. I’ve witnessed this attitude extended to every student involved with Bothell High football, irrespective of intellectual or athletic abil-ity. Each student is treated with respect and regard.

I wanted our community to know there is something phenomenal happening here. It’s a lot more than a football game. It’s a place where young people learn about community, sportsmanship, integrity, and responsibility. The coaches lead by example and create a truly inclusive program that grows and chal-lenges young men to be their best.

I know there are many people who give so much time and energy to Cougar football and many I wish I could name, but especially to coach Tom Bainter, coach Paul Moody and coach Rod Schaaf, thank you for your leader-ship.

“One town, one dream, one team,” that’s the heart of Bothell Cougar football.Marian Finicle, Bothell

Kenmore council may block Lake Washington views

At 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 8 at Kenmore City Hall, the Kenmore City Council will be holding a public hearing on height limits for buildings on the city’s waterfront between 61st Avenue Northeast and 65th Avenue Northeast. The Kenmore Planning Commis-sion spent nearly two years evaluating this is-sue. The planning commissioner recognized that there is a 40-foot height differential between the waterfront and SR 522 (Bothell Way). To protect public views of Lake Wash-

ington from SR 522, as well as water views enjoyed by businesses along SR 522 and

homeowners to the north, the Plan-ning Commission recommended that future buildings along this part of the waterfront not exceed 40 feet. On Oct.

28, the Kenmore City Council adopted this recommendation on a 5-1 vote.After receiving strenuous objections to this

height limit from owners of Kenmore Air and Northlake Marina, the City Council voted Nov. 17 to reconsider the height limits. The council is now considering a 45-foot height limit proposed by Kenmore Air to accom-modate buildings for future manufacturing operations. Any buildings over 40 feet along the waterfront would block Lake Washing-ton views from behind and to the northeast of such buildings. The current Northlake Marina boat rack, at 41 feet, already blocks a significant part of the Lake Washington view. On Nov. 24, after strong objections from those seeking to protect public and private views of Lake Washington, the Kenmore Council voted to hold a Monday, Dec. 8 pub-lic hearing. Any citizen may comment for up to three minutes at the public hearing.

Views of Lake Washington are a treasured

asset for Kenmore – something very few other communities get to experience. If you care about keeping them for future genera-tions, you need to speak up. Please attend the Dec. 8 public hearing and make your voice heard.Doug Levy, Kenmore

Funding not secured for Bothell’s North Creek Forest

Your article on Bothell’s parks and open space levy suggested that despite the levy fail-ure, funding through grants would enable ac-quisition of the final 22 acres of North Creek Forest. A hopeful thought, but it left out an important point: the grant programs have not yet been funded. Yes, the forest scored high among the applicants for two recent grants. However, the state legislature needs to approve funding for one of these grant programs, and congress must approve the other. As you might imagine, neither of those budget decisions can be taken for granted. In addition, the clock is ticking on an option to purchase two of the three remaining par-cels of land. After July 31, 2015, the owner is under no obligation to delay logging and development.

The city of Bothell, along with Friends of North Creek Forest and other local groups, has made great strides in securing the initial 42 acres of this last great forest in Bothell. Our group appreciates the city’s commitment as evidenced by the comments of Bothell Mayor Joshua Freed and Councilwoman Tris Samberg.

However, we are not there yet. Nor can we be satisfied with only 42 acres, since they are not contiguous, but broken into parcels. For a seamless park, the remaining 22 acres (three more parcels) are essential to assure that this ecological gem in the middle of an urban area will be preserved for our citizens, our students and our environment.Jeanie Robinson, President of the Friends of North Creek Forest

Northshore Wranglers program] gave them the chance to be something other than ordinary; to be extraordinary.”

Tonight, the North-shore Wranglers will be performing songs they’ve practiced all year long. Whether it’s learning to be more con� dent or learning to enunciate words, the Northshore Wrangler sing-ers start the holiday season with joy for � e Music Project performance from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Northshore Senior Center.

Each participant will have a solo and two group songs, along with one song from Bascom.

“You are going to be cheering, just so happy, and this is going to make you have a real Christmas,” Bascom said. “� ese kids think they are the bomb, they are hilarious, sing-ing “Born to be Wild” and picking their own songs.”

Since 1998, the program has helped students � nd their con� dence, inspired them to improve their speaking and conversing abilities, and given partici-pants a sense of belonging. A� er Saturday morning practices, Northshore Wranglers head back to their homes and are jubi-lant to tell their parents about what happened at practice, and to continue practicing for one very special evening.

“I think there’s a com-mitment element to it,” said Cole Caplan, orga-nizer of the Northshore Wranglers. “� at they’re really putting their heart and soul and e� ort into something, and then see-ing it realized in Decem-ber.”

� e Northshore Wran-gler’s team has found that the audience has had such a response to the perfor-mances that the organi-zation has had to start handing out Kleenex prior to the start of the perfor-mance.

“It’s incredible being part of a miracle, there’s so many miracles there, so many people who couldn’t really express themselves or couldn’t speak at all,” Bascom said. “It’s really incredible being part of so many miracles.”

Emotionally, � e Music Project’s literal spotlight on those participants has given them a sense of starhood. � roughout the year, students learn con� dence through stage presence, extra vocaliza-tion and speaking skills through singing, staying on beat with music and more.

“� e crowds we have had at each performance have been hugely support-ive of participants regard-less of abilities,” Caplan said. “Seeing them on stage when they have that moment where it all comes together, and they’re being recognized, and the audi-ence is clapping; its pretty incredible.”

Not only does the pro-

gram positively influence the participants, but it brings the community together for a great cause. Monetarily, the Wranglers raised around $20,000 for the program last year, with approximately $2,000 of that coming directly from The Music Project performance.

According to research, Americans waste approximately 25

percent of the food and drinks they purchase, costing around $1,600 of wasted food a year. � e King County’s “Food: Too Good to Waste Challenge” is aimed at show-ing consumers exactly where they waste food.

“Many people assume that they are not wasting that much and that’s the great value of going through the challenge - seeing is believing,” said Karen May,

program manager of Food: Too Good to Waste. “If you actually to take the time to measure it, it can be quite an eye opener.”

� e goal of the challenge is to help individual consumers or families � nd out what they waste the most, and Judy Beaudette, resident of Bothell and food waste participant, took the challenge and came out with le� overs.

According to Beaudette,

the � rst red � ag was that things were

being forgotten.“A� er a cou-

ple of weeks of being accountable for what I was

wasting and actually seeing

it, slowing down enough and having

a process to measure it, it wasn’t something I could just put in the back of my mind anymore. It was right there in front of me...I couldn’t ignore it anymore.”

For the � rst two weeks, challengers collected and

measured the food that would have gone into the trash. � e last two weeks of the challenge, participants practiced using food waste reduction tips, such as smart shopping with a list, proper storage and more.

Not only is reducing food waste good for pocketbooks, it also impacts the environ-ment. � e less food people waste, the more natural resources are used to produce food. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the less food that is wasted, the slower our land� lls � ll with waste.

� e average single family home wastes approximately

390 pounds of food each year. In King County, the food wasted goes into the Cedar Hills Regional Land� ll - 33 percent of which is food.

Beaudette’s le� overs won’t be heading into the Cedar Hills land� ll, but that’s likely the only lasting change she’ll be taking away from the challenge.

“� e one change I’ve actu-ally done, and I’m doing it today, is having le� over night. � e le� overs that used to go into the trash, I’m really stop-ping making something new until we’ve eaten all those up,” Beaudette said. “And its kinda embarassing, … we always had le� over night, so I don’t know why I fell out of the habit of doing that. I really

liked the fact that the waste program gave me the idea of le� over night.”

Whether le� overs or heads of lettuce one forgot about in the door, wasted food is not only a natural resources prob-lem, but one that includes climate change, too: the gas used to transport, fossil fuels for plastics for packaging, or the o� -gassing from the decomposition of food.

“What we really want people to be aware of is when food is wasted then all of the natural resources that went into making that food was wasted as well. Everything from the farm all the way to your plate,” May said.

which translated into 24 Cougars points on of-fense. Bothell defensive lineman Jordan Barker set the tone early, scoring on a 37-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the first quarter. The score was the second of the game for the Cougars as Damani St. John-Watkins capped the team’s first drive with a two-yard touchdown run as Bothell jumped out to a 13-0 lead.

“That was my first touchdown. That was awesome. I got to give credit to my team. Miles (Lockett) made that fum-ble happen. I just reacted,” Barker said. “We try to play as fast as we can. We just hit hard and always try to ball out. That’s all we do.”

Cougars head coach Tom Bainter said his team was prepared for New-port’s commitment to the running game.

“We knew it would be a physical game. We knew they were going to get some good runs but we also knew that the ball was going to be on the ground. When you play a triple-option team, too many times the ball can

get on the ground during the exchange. We were fortunate with that to-night,” Bainter said. “Our defense came up big and strong. We hit hard. It was a big part of our win.”

Bothell’s high-powered offense would show why the Cougars have aver-aged more than 40 points per game this season. Bowers found Jackson Keimig for a 21-yard touchdown pass and the 20-13 lead heading into the locker room.

Newport cut Bothell’s lead to 20-19 with 7:01 left in the third quarter, but the Cougars out-scored the Knights 17-0 in the final 19 minutes of regulation to put the game away. Cougars wide receiver Dayzell Wilson, who finished with five catches for 76 yards and two touchdowns, said the defense was the differ-

ence. Wilson hauled in a 16-yard touchdown toss in the third quarter and a 41-yard touchdown catch from Bowers in the fourth quarter.

“Our defense is wonder-ful. We always come out to battle,” Wilson said.

Bothell will face Chi-awana in the Class 4A state championship game at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 6 at the Tacoma Dome.

“I’m just glad that we get another week to battle with my brothers,” Wilson said. “It feels great that all the work we put in from January to now is paying off.”

Barker echoed Wilson’s sentiment.

“We’re really excited about the opportunity. We’re ready to work hard in practice this week,” Barker said.

The Cougars will face Chiawana at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Tacoma Dome for the state title and a shot at completing a

perfect 14-0 season.Chiawana defeated

Graham-Kapowsin 28-12 on Saturday in the Ta-coma Dome.

It hardly seems possible that � anksgiving has come and gone and in a

little more than three short weeks from now we’ll be heading into winter break. � e school year is passing at warp speed. As I visit schools and talk with sta� , I know that everyone – students, teachers, principals and support sta� - are working harder than ever. It’s no exaggeration to say that this current time involves the greatest levels of change most of us have experienced in our educational careers.

During the past several weeks, Deputy Superinten-dent Dr. Carolyn O’Kee� e and Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Education Kathleen Poole have been teaming with me to visit the sta� and parent groups at our schools most impacted by enrollment growth and overcrowding to share the work that is taking place to

address current needs and implement a longer term solution.

Like all of our school communities, those heavily impacted schools are manag-ing a sizable load of reforms and changes such as new

learning standards, changing assess-ments, technology deployments, new reporting systems, new evaluation sys-tems and numerous other initiatives. On top of that, those

schools are living with sev-eral hundred more students than their schools were built to educate. At Frank Love El-ementary School alone, over one-third of the nearly 700 students are kindergarteners, with most of those com-ing from outside the Frank Love service area. Situations like that weigh heavily on a school community. I cannot begin to adequately express my deep gratitude, respect

and appreciation for the positive attitude, patience, understanding and resilience I’ve encountered throughout my recent visits.

So in the spirit of the � anksgiving season, I want to take this opportunity to express my sincerest thanks to the many families and

sta� members supporting an outstanding, world-class educational experience in circumstances that are un-questionably less than ideal.

To you and to all of our families and sta� , I wish you a safe and restful holiday season.

Larry Francois is the Northshore School District superintendent, which serves both Bothell and Kenmore.

Require-ments for recognition include achieving a minimum required PSAT/NMSQT score in their junior year, be of at least one-quarter Hispanic/Latina descent and achieve a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher by the end of their junior year.

Northshore Networks and Secondary Academy for Success (SAS) have been named 2014 School of Distinction award win-ners for the Puget Sound Educational Service District (PSESD).

� e award recognizes the top 5 percent of schools in Washington state that have made sustained improve-

ments in reading and math over � ve years. Northshore Networks and SAS were two of 50 schools in 18 school districts within the PSESD region, to be recog-nized at an awards cer-emony Nov. 4, at the PSESD o� ce in Renton.

“Feeling cared for, safe and connected is important for students to be success-

ful. Northshore Networks and Secondary Academy for Success teachers work hard to develop strong rela-tionships and connections with students,” Principal Donna Tyo said. “� eir work and commitment are evident in our students’ continued and growing success.”

School of Distinction

percent of students who enrolled this fall were the � rst in their families to attend college. � e university’s main campus in Seattle, by comparison, reported 16.5 percent of freshmen entering in 2013 had parents who never went to college.

Each of the two Univer-sity of Washington branch campuses – UW Bothell and UW Tacoma – were founded to provide access for students who live out-side Seattle.

“It’s a key part of our mission to serve students from north King and Snohomish [counties],” Mans� eld said.

Students from the two counties make up more than 90 percent of the school’s student popula-tion – 55 percent from King County and 35 percent from Snohomish County. More than 740 students who enrolled for the � rst time last fall are transfer students, mostly from Bellevue College, Cascadia College, Ed-monds Community Col-lege, Everett Community College and North Seattle

College.But Quinn Brown, a re-

cent UW Bothell graduate, said the campus’s biggest draw is a UW degree with less competition in admis-sions.

“More people will apply as UW Seattle becomes harder and harder to get into,” said Brown.

Unlike other branch-col-lege systems the Univer-sity of California system, degrees from campuses within the University of Washington aren’t labeled di� erently - a student who graduates from a campus with less-competitive ad-missions will get the same degree as students from its main campus.

Although students can get the same degree, they don’t have access to the same degree programs as the larger campus. UW Bothell has about 35 majors and most degree programs within the university system don’t overlap, Mans� eld said.

“What we hope is that students are � nding the best � t for them,” Mans-� eld said. “Faculty really pride themselves on know-ing students, smaller class

sizes and a di� erent expe-rience with vast support.”

The school offers fewer majors, but more night classes and other op-tions for non-traditional students – those who may have delayed college, work full-time, attend school part-time, or have dependents.

“Seattle [UW Campus] is a bit more constrained in how they can grow,” Mansfield said. “We have more room to grow in different ways to accom-modate students.”

As UW Bothell grows to accommodate more students, the school seems to be getting more diverse.

While less than half of the school’s total popula-tion are students of color, they made up nearly 70 percent of Bothell’s incoming freshman – including 37 percent Asian-American, 15 per-cent Hispanic, 7 percent African-American, with an additional 7 percent of students identifying themselves with two or more races; an increase for most ethnic minori-ties across UW-Bothell’s

total population.“We started out slowly,

now we’ve greatly acceler-ated,” she said. “Our hope

is that we can continue to provide college access with vast support for di-verse groups of students.”

A 21 year-old Kenmore resident alleg-edly crashed a stolen

vehicle into a Department of Transportation divider at the Interstate 405 o� ramp to Highway 527, near Canyon Park, on Monday night.

Yaroslav Levshin alleg-edly walked into a Bellevue Walmart, found a keyfob in a shopping cart, took it and

then prowled the parking lot for the associated vehicle, a maroon 2014 Toyota Sienna, which he then stole, accord-ing to police reports.

Drivers along I-405 called in to report an erratic driver and, minutes a� er the initial report, had crashed into a jersey barrier at the o� ramp toward Highway 527.

A witness at the scene reported that he had seen the accident and drove up next to the crashed vehicle as the

driver was exiting the van. “I asked him if he was ok,

as he seem[ed] disoriented,” Joel Jackson of Bothell stated in a report to the Washing-ton State Patrol. “He said, ‘Yes, I’m � ne I have the paramedics on the line.’”

However, instead of waiting for the paramedics, Levshin le� the scene of the accident and � ed into a nearby McDon-alds.

O� cers arrived at the scene shortly a� er the suspect had le� and made contact with the witness. � ey also searched the vehicle and

found that the name on the registration did not match the name on identi� cation in a backpack owned by

the suspect. While there, Levshin

used a McDonalds patron’s cell phone to make a call and then went into the bathroom,

where police found him and initiated an arrest, the docu-ments continue.

A witness later positively identi� ed Levshin as the person exiting the car.

At the time of the arrest, Levshin also had a warrant for his arrest due to a DUI back in May 2014.

Levshin was booked into Snohomish County Jail and was charged by Snohomish County with possession of a stolen vehicle, driving with

a suspended license in the third degree, driving without an interlock device and hit and run.

He was also charged in King County with the� of a motor vehicle and the� in the third degree.

While sobriety tests done at the scene showed that Levshin was not under the in� uence, he did leave his own prescriptions for Subox-one, Zolo� and Xanax in the stolen van a� er the crash.

Kenmore Mayor David Baker was recognized for his commitment to ensur-ing youth eat healthier and stay active by the ‘Let’s Move’ Cities, Towns and Counties program (LMCTC) on Nov. 20.

� e National League of Cities’ (NLC) Congress of Cities awarded 23 cities from across the nation for their dedication to improv-ing the health of their residents by participating in First Lady Michelle Obama’s Lets Move! pro-gram.

“I want to make sure we have opportunities for kids

in our community,” Baker said. “I think all of us [on city sta� ] feel very strongly about making sure that we provide the best possible environment for our kids to thrive in.”

Baker received the Legacy Award for his com-mitment to kid health and wellness, but also for work-ing with other cities in the region to ensure that the whole region is committed to the Let’s Move! initiative.

“I think it feels great for us as partners, in that they are key in our advisory for community schools truly focusing on strong com-munities, strong fami-lies, strong students and student achievement,” said

Leanna Albrecht, director of communications at the Northshore School District. “[It’s a re� ection of] power-ful partnerships working together to support our community.”

According to Kenmore o� cials the city has priori-tized family and children since it was incorporated in 1998 by investing resources in outdoor activities, including canoe, kayak, crew, and dragon boat programs for all ages.

“� e city of Kenmore remains an incredibly ac-tive and supportive partner of our schools, students and families...they back

up that belief through ac-tions, not just words,” said Northshore School District Superintendent Larry Fran-cois via email. “...� e city of Kenmore truly makes

a positive di� erence for so many of our

students, families and sta� .”

By devoting itself to com-

munity, the city of Kenmore partnered

with the YMCA to continue free lunches to disadvantaged children during the summer, held community input meetings for the design and develop-ment of city parks and built three playgrounds using the community build process.

We have such great sup-port from the Northshore School District and other agencies to make this hap-pen,” Baker said.

In 2009, Kenmore was named a top 10 city in the country to raise a family. It’s also designated as a Playful City USA by KaBOOM!, a non-pro� t organization for the creation of play spaces for children.

Kenmore now has � ve gold medals in the Let’s Move! program, in all � ve areas of achievement;

Goal I: Start Early, Start Smart: Promoting best practices for nutrition, physical activity, and screen time in early care and edu-cation settings

Goal II: My Plate, Your Place: Prominently display-ing MyPlate in all munici-

pal or county venues where food is served

Goal III: Smart Servings for Students: Expanding access to meal programs before, during and a� er the school day, and/or over summer months.

Goal IV: Model Food Service: Implementing healthy and sustainable food service guidelines that are aligned with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans

Goal V: Active Kids at Play: Increasing opportuni-ties for physical activity

Also included from the area was Diane Mortenson, Mercer Island recreation superintendent, uniting citizens and commu-nity partners to positively change culture by eating healthier and staying more active.

Two Kirkland men pleaded guilty Nov. 26 to running a

hash oil operation out of the Inglenook apartments, which resulted in an explosion at the complex last year. � e apartments are on the boundary of Kirkland and Kenmore.

� e explosion and � re threw debris some 25 feet, moved the north wall of the building 6-8 inches, and disconnected the roof from the building walls.

� e U.S. Attorney’s O� ce announced charges against several alleged hash oil manufacturers in the region in July, part of “Operation Shattered.”

Robby W. Meiser, 46,

and Bruce W. Mark, 62, pleaded guilty in fed-eral court to endangering human life while manu-facturing hash oil and marijuana.

Meiser and Mark were charged in July. Endanger-ing human life is punish-able by up to ten years in prison. Maintaining a drug involved premises is pun-ishable by up to 20 years

in prison and manu-facturing hash oil and marijuana is punishable by up to � ve years in prison.

� e cases were investigated by mul-tiple local and federal agencies including: the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the U.S. Marshals Service, the Bellevue Police Department, the Seattle Police Department and the Kirkland Police Department.

Sheri� ’s O� ce warns of warrant scam

As of Nov. 20, several area residents have reported that they received a phone call

from someone claiming to be a Sheri� ’s O� ce deputy with a warrant for their arrest. � e caller said that the victim would need to pay over the phone to have the warrant “li� ed” or a deputy would come to their house to arrest them.

“First of all, no county employee, including those in law enforcement, will call you to request payment over the phone for anything. Anyone who does should be reported to the police immediately,” said Sheri� Ty Trenary. “Sec-ond, a Sheri� ’s O� ce deputy would never call someone with a warrant to warn them that we were on our way to arrest them.”

If you wish to verify that you have an outstanding war-rant in Snohomish County, a current list of all outstanding District Court misdemeanor and Superior Court felony warrants is available on-line.

Sheriff ’s Office recep-tion staff said they re-ceived five similar reports Nov. 17. In most cases, victims said it was the Sheriff ’s Office reception phone number 425-388-3393 that showed up on their caller ID screen.

Anyone who believes they may be a victim of fraud should call 911.
