The time is near.Washington State

Department of Transpor-tation (WSDOT) officials announced earlier this month that State Route 520 bridge tolling will begin Dec. 29. And that means drivers who choose to dodge payments could be headed Both-ell and Kenmore’s way via SR 522 around Lake Washington.

Perusing several polls that have been conducted, Kenmore Mayor David Baker said about 115,000 drivers travel 520 each day, and 522 could see up to 10,000 more cars per day through the two cit-ies. And he’s figuring on the light side, he said.

Baker added that WS-DOT officials said they could adjust traffic sig-nals to add “green” time on 522, but that could heighten “red” time for drivers entering the high-way from other roads. For now, traffic is flowing smoothly in areas of 522 in Kenmore where major improvements were made, but the mayor is dismayed that things could bottle up again.

“What I’m concerned about is Kenmore residents being able to get where they want to go: shopping or to work,” said

Baker, noting that Juanita Drive, Simonds Road and other streets could also get hammered with addi-tional traffic. Baker added that city of Kirkland officials are worried they might see a traffic surge, as well, and he’s met with them to discuss the issue.

Like Baker, Bothell leaders for years have been asking for state officials to set aside road-improvement funding to

mitigate the impacts of tolling.

“It’s a top priority for the city in discussions with the Legislature and we will definitely be watching to see what hap-pens when tolling begins,” said Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe.

Added Mayor Mark Lamb: “We have been told repeatedly by the state that the tolling of the 520 bridge will not result in significant additional traffic diversion onto SR 522 — we will see very shortly if this is correct.

“We will continue the fight (for funding) in Olympia if the traffic I expect to materialize comes our way.”

Baker said that al-though tolling will begin Dec. 29, Kenmore and Bothell might not see any traffic changes until a few days later because drivers

A dazzling array of thousands of blink-ing Christmas lights matched with specta-tors donating heaps of food to Hopelink.

Th at’s a double dose of holiday cheer that Johan Jorna likes to bring to his Both-ell neighborhood.

At the start of December, Jorna’s Binary Christmas returned for its fourth year of lights choreographed to upbeat music using more than 250 computer-controlled switches. Th e display — at 12313 N.E. 165th St. — is larger this year, featuring a third house and more than 20,000 lights.

“Last year, we had approximately 8,000 people come to see the lights and collected almost 1,000 pounds of food,” said Jorna, noting that a mammoth crowd of about

The Green Building Certification Institute has notified the city of Both-ell that the new Public Works Operation Center Administration Building has achieved LEED Silver Certification.

This is the first LEED-certified building for the city of Bothell.

designed the build-ing. The project team included ArchEcology (LEED/green consultant), Wagner Architects (shops building consultant), DCI (structural engineering), Coughlin Porter Lun-deen (civil engineering), TresWest (M/E engineer-ing), Talasaea (landscape architecture) and the Robinson Company (cost

consultant). JTM Con-struction was the general contractor and Vanir was the construction manager.

The operation center is located at 21233 20th Ave. S.E. in Canyon Park. The site was selected in collaboration with the adjoining North-shore School District Transportation Center to permit shared main-

tenance operations by both facilities. The two‐story, 16,000-square-foot Administration Build-ing consolidates offices, locker rooms, conference rooms and a lunch room into one structure. The lunch room also serves as a public meeting room to hold up to 100 people, and is designed to perform as a back‐up Emergency Operations Center.

will be away on holiday.In Bothell, where

roadwork is currently taking place on 522 with the Wayne Curve project and will ramp up with the upcoming Cross-roads project, Trans-portation Engineering Manager Seyed Safavian suggests that citizens should be prepared for delays, take transit and alternate routes when-ever possible and adjust the times they travel if they can. For those who travel across the 520 bridge, getting the Good to Go! pass will save them money.

“Tolling is help-ing Washington move forward with critical transportation invest-ments and will finance ongoing and future work to replace the vulnerable SR 520 floating bridge and corridor,” said WSDOT Secretary Paula Hammond at a recent press conference.

“SR 520 toll revenue will provide $1 billion to fund pontoon construc-

tion in Grays Harbor, and floating-bridge con-struction and improve-ments on the Eastside, which already are under way. Starting tolling before the new bridge is built is keeping financ-ing costs down.”

The toll system’s components have been tested and retested since summer to ensure they can collect data at highway speeds and cre-ate transactions for the many vehicles that cross the bridge daily. WS-DOT also brought in na-tional tolling experts to review the system, and expanded its customer-service support.

However, even though the Good To Go! call center has activated more than 120,000 new accounts since February, WSDOT Toll Division Director Craig Stone ex-pects there will flood of requests into customer service as many drivers have yet to set up their accounts.

450 people drove by to see the lights last Saturday alone. “This year, so far visitation has almost doubled compared to last year at this time.

“I selected Hopelink as the recipient as they do excellent work. And it’s a great feeling knowing that families will have access to necessary food this winter and will hopefully make someone’s Christmas a little brighter.”

The display will run from 4:30-10 p.m. nightly through Jan. 8. Since he attends college

in Portland, Jorna brought neighbor Austin Kemis on board to put this year’s show into action and expand the display to cover three houses.

“It’s not only Austin who has stepped up to make the show a reality. The lights have grown to be a neighborhood project,” said Jorna, noting that his entire family and others spend a good deal of time hanging lights and handing out candy canes to visitors.

Running the display is a labor of love for Jorna, who said that covering three houses in lights takes a lot of time and

energy. This year, he started running cable and putting up lights in August.

“The thing that keeps me doing this year after year is come those few weeks before Christmas when adults, children and even teenagers drive up and get out of their cars with a look of wonder on their faces,” he said. “The lights bring out the Christmas spirit in everyone.

“It’s what keeps me going when people are laughing at me when they see me working on Christmas lights in March.”

I’m all up for a good debate about whatever’s on the table, whether it’s city council elections, sports, entertainment or just how we live our lives — the decisions we make on a daily basis.

Sometimes, things are done on a mature level — where everyone gets an equal say — but at times, people can tend to put others down and not give them a fair chance to speak their mind.

All I can say is open up the door to others during these conversations and let’s try and put everyone on equal footing — all the time.

In this issue, there’s two stories that have inspired me to make the most of each day and move through each hour with an open mind about whatever’s put in front of me. I hope you can gain something posi-tive from them, as well:

State should collect sales tax on all applicable purchases

I appreciate opinions regarding not raising the state sales tax and not sacrifi cing the education of our children to achieve a balanced budget. Part of the reason our wonderful state is running out of cash is due to tax-free shopping on the Internet. If you order a big-screen TV online and do not pay sales tax, then you are required to report that purchase and hand a check to the state of Washington.

Nearly no one but businesses do this and with the sizable amount of Internet shopping taking place, you can bet that if we all followed the law

Not many people can say that Marvin Hamlisch guided their singing career.

Rachel DeShon, a 2001 Inglemoor High graduate, is fortunate to have the leg-endary composer in her life. He’s won Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes and a Tony. On Broadway, his music for “A Chorus Line” received a Pulitzer Prize.

“He’s just an amazing mentor,” DeShon said. “He’s always been so supportive and so wonderful.”

Now 28, DeShon — who won Hamlisch’s “Search for a Star” competition the same week she graduated from high school — sang with the master songwriter and the Seattle Symphony for the Holiday Pops Con-certs Dec. 8-11 at Benaroya Hall. She loaded up with eight songs, including “Ave Maria,” “We Need a Little Christmas,” “Hanukkah Lights” and more.

“Last night’s concert went great and I received a standing ovation for ‘O Holy Night,’ which was the end of the first half,” she said of the opening-night

performance.“With the symphony,

the sound is incredible, there’s a full orchestra … and it propels you to go out and sing those notes,” said DeShon, a trained classical and musical-theater singer who graduated with honors from Western Illinois Uni-versity. She’s also sung with Keith Lockhart and the

Boston Pops, in Singapore and at Yale University and has been a regular perform-er with Teatro ZinZanni in Seattle and San Francisco.

“I am extremely lucky, seeing that I make a living being an artist,” she said. “I don’t have a day job — I’m just singing. That’s been remarkable.”

Mother Cheryl digs back

into her daughter’s past for one of Rachel’s more memorable performances, which didn’t even take place on stage.

“At Kenmore Junior High School, Rachel was always in trouble as she could never keep her mouth quiet in class. Once a teacher who didn’t know she could sing told her she

would have to sing songs from musicals for the entire hour. Well, that was right up her line and she had no problem doing it,” Cheryl said. “I think she sings from the heart and gives it everything she has. When I watch her, I think about all the work she has done to get to where she is and I am so thankful for her that it is all paying off.”

While attending Western Illinois, DeShon found her singing sweet spot and that pushed her to continue on her path to become a full-time performer.

It’s with Teatro ZinZanni where DeShon’s found a home for the last five years. She’s amassed 800 perfor-mances with the troupe, which unleashes a three-hour show of vaudeville revue, improv comedy, music, dance and more in an intimate setting to the dinner-imbibing crowd. It has been described as “the Kit Kat Klub on acid.”

To perform with Teatro ZinZanni, the stars must always be on their toes.

“There are 300 people there sitting on your stage. It almost frightened me at the beginning,” she laughed.

“It’s like, ‘You can touch me. You can be in my space.’ I don’t know what to do with it. It’s stifling now to do regular shows.”

DeShon has performed high above the crowd on a trapeze and in a gilded cage. “My first show I was in roller skates singing opera — It was crazy,” she said.

It’s a gutsy job with mini-mal rehearsals. It’s as if they say, according to DeShon, “’Let’s jump off a cliff. Let’s try it, guys. Let’s go.’”

Teatro ZinZanni gave her freedom to do anything and everything, and now DeShon wants to perform a solo show and start her own production company, Lamb Project (Rachel means “little lamb” in Hebrew).

Hamlisch gave her a start, and now the woman with the self-described “huge voice” is ready for more.

“When I hear her sing, I am often moved to tears,” said Rachel’s godmother Pat Young, who traveled from Phoenix, Ariz., to attend the Pops concerts. “Rachel is very generous in sharing her talent and will sing at the drop of a hat.”

Jeffrey O’Rourke felt it was important to teach his children to help others, inspire them to be upstand-ing citizens.

The Bothell resident con-tributed to charities, was involved with his church and etched his mark on life each day, said his widow Lissa Chan, who labels him a “hero.”

O’Rourke died of a brain

hemorrhage Aug. 19, 2010, leaving behind Chan and their two children.

On Jan. 2, a floragraph — a portrait made of floral and natural materials — of organ-donor O’Rourke will be featured on the Donate Life float entry in the 123rd Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif. This was made pos-sible by Purdy & Walters at Floral Hills in Lynnwood and Dignity Memorial pro-viders in the Seattle area.

“I’m honored that the funeral home selected us,” Chan said. “It’s very emo-tional for me — and the kids, they are doing better than I expected.

“It’s difficult, but because he always chose to make a difference in other people’s lives, this is how me and my kids can move on.”

The Donate Life Rose Parade Committee shipped O’Rourke’s floragraph to Purdy & Walters at Floral

Hills Dec. 10 so that his family could participate in the decorating experience and put the final touches on it. Chan and her children, Jered and Jalin, participated in the event.

Chan said the event was a nice way for the family to remember O’Rourke and share his life with others.

You’d think the most elemental bodily function we have — breathing — ought to be a “no brainer!” You shouldn’t’ need to go to a class to learn to breathe correctly, right? OK, so breathing is pretty basic. And sure, you do it all the time. Hey, you can even do it in your sleep!

But our problems begin with the fact that breathing is so fundamental that we are rarely conscious of it. Proper breathing requires good posture and good posture encourages diaphrag-matic breathing (sometimes known as “belly breathing”). Th e classic suggestion is to observe an infant lying on its back and watch the belly expand and contract with each natural breath.

What happens to us as we grow up and enter the ten-sion and stress-fi lled world of adulthood, we begin shallow breathing as fear, stress and anxiety build up and become chronic. Our shoulders may round forward and the chest may cave in. Tension is oft en carried in the region of the stomach and the diaphragm contracts.

Pretty soon the only breathing that’s happening is in the upper chest. Th e result of this shallow breathing is a reduction of oxygen to the brain and an additional incentive to feel anxious (for lack of adequate oxygen).

Imagine, now, it’s a beauti-ful spring day. Th e air is bright, the breeze is light,

and the sun is shining and warm. You step outside and, enjoying the moment, you lift up on your toes, straighten up your spine, open the chest and inhale with a deep and satisfying breath! Aaahh!

Now that’s breathing! In the practice of yoga or meditation, natural, deep breathing is included as part of the training. But you can also do practice rounds at your desk, in the car, lying in bed at night, as well as in your yoga or meditation routine.

Th e “belly” should expand fi rst as you inhale. Th e middle ribs (“fl oating ribs”) should lift a little and expand at the sides. Th e upper chest might lift and expand just slightly. Don’t strain. Be natu-ral and enjoy it. You can hold the breath, or not, as you like (but never strain). When you exhale, keep the chest up and the spine straight.

Take a happy holiday breath!

tion Temple in Bothell.

that he and his family made to help those in need,” said Arne Swan-son, marketing direc-tor of Dignity Memo-rial in the Seattle area. “Working in the funeral industry, we value the significance of memo-rializing loved ones and we are proud to have the opportunity to pay tribute to Jeffrey and his giving spirit.”

The “One More Day” float features a colorful clock tower and clocks from around the world.

The clocks will tower high above 28 riders who are comprised of living donors and donor family members from across the U.S. Adorning the clocks in the hour positions will be 72 floragraphs of deceased donors. In addition, donors across the country are memo-rialized in a garden of dedicated roses, with each rose vial carrying a personal message of love, hope and remem-brance.

Chan and her chil-dren — ages 12 and 15

— will attend the Rose Parade and treat it as a mini-vacation, but also “a celebration and let them see the other fami-lies and meet the other children” of the deceased donors, Chan said.

“It will be a time to heal,” said Chan, who added that Purdy & Walters has provided the family support just like O’Rourke did for others. “I’m looking forward to it. I know that it will be sad, but I’m hoping joy will (overcome) the sadness.”

Bothell’s Diana DeAndrea-Kohn. ANDY NYSTROM, Bothell-Kenmore Reporter

BY ANDY NYSTROM

[email protected]

Diana DeAndrea-Kohn’s writing was ready for a breakout.

For a long time, the Bothell resident kept her stories inside, not even show-ing them to her husband. But about 1½ years ago, she set a goal: to get one of her pieces published and share it with the world.

The 41-year-old business owner not only achieved that goal, but now has

two stories — “My Gift From God” and “Here I Stand” — secured within the pages of the popular and “inspiring” Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

“Here I Stand” is one story that is especially close to the writer’s heart, she says.

On page 291 of Chicken Soup’s “Find Your Happiness” edition, DeAndrea-Kohn writes about being pregnant at age 19, marrying her boyfriend and

having everyone tell her that they’d never make it.

She proved them all wrong over time.

“As I’m writing it, I’m typ-ing and bawling and wiping away a tear — there’s just so much emotion in it,” said DeAndrea-Kohn, noting that she raised a young man, started a business and found her place in life.

“To kind of come through

the other side and be able to reflect back and go, ‘Look, everybody told me I would never amount to anything because I was pregnant and young and all these things’ — and I did. I’m successful to me, I’ve done everything that I have set out to do.”

DeAndrea-Kohn wrote the story for her son, Kenny Greg-ory, who’s now 21 and living away from home in a house of roommates. She wanted to

tell him that life can be rough, especially in one’s early 20s, and if he applies himself, he can do anything in life.

She’s excited that the Chicken Soup editors found “Here I Stand” to be a worthy inclusion in their book. The story flowed onto her com-puter screen without any revi-sions, said DeAndrea-Kohn, who’s lived in Bothell since 1992 and remarried a couple of years ago.

On watching her son grow into a man, she noted: “I can’t believe this, but he’s 21. It’s just crazy to see him at his age now and the things that he’s doing, compared to what I was doing when I was his age — because I had him.” She says that “Here I Stand” is now an important part of her son’s life.

“It’s affected me greatly. See-ing how she did everything has made me into who I am

today,” said Gregory, who added that his mom has pro-vided invaluable support and advice since he moved out on his own at age 19.

DeAndrea-Kohn’s other story, “My Gift From God” in the “Answered Prayers” edition, tells of how she got caught up in running her business, strayed from her faith and received a gift from a woman in the mail that got her back on track.

Next up for DeAndrea-Kohn are two more Chicken Soup stories in the “Messages From Heaven” and “Here Comes the Bride” editions and maybe even her own book in the future.

“Now it’s just been flowing and now I’m feeling, ‘Oh yeah, I can submit anything,’” she said. “If you have a goal, go for it. Even if you’re scared — be-cause I was terrified to submit (stories) — go forward.”

Workers completed the installation of the 65-foot-tall glass tower art sculpture at the Bothell Business Park’s entrance at the intersection of Northeast 195th Street and North Creek Parkway. Its dual purpose: to attractively ensconce the pump sta-tion’s 80-foot-tall odor control stack while educating people about the environ-mental mission of King County’s clean-water utility. “I am extremely pleased that the work of an artist with the reputation of Christian Moeller will be prominently featured at the Brightwater facility in Bothell,” Mayor Mark Lamb said. “Moeller believes his piece should inspire refl ection on making clean drinking water avail-able to all, a cause that is extremely close to my heart. “ Courtesy photo

RE Shooting stars: No. 2 Bothell on the rebound

BY TIM WATANABE

[email protected]

Aft er the Bothell boys basketball team posted a forgettable 1-14 record in 4A Kingco league play last season, quite a few heads were turned when the team was recently ranked No. 2 in the state heading into the 2011-12 season.

According to longtime head coach Ron Bollinger, however, the hype sur-rounding his team, and their high preseason rank-ing, is all legitimate.

“We’re trying to get the boys to focus on the game, letting them know that they’ve got a target on their back,” Bollinger said. “Everybody’s going to be shootin’ for them, and I think we’ve matched that.”

Case in point was Sat-urday’s 81-70 win against No. 10 Federal Way, a perennial power from the South Puget Sound League

(SPSL). In that game, the Cougars poured in 45 points in the fi rst half to build a lead they would never relinquish.

“We didn’t shoot well (against Ballard, 61-53 loss last Friday)… but we beat Federal Way pretty good,” noted the 17th-year Cougar coach. “I think this is going to be a good team, but they need to continue to develop. Th ey can’t rest on what people say about them, they’ve got to go out and prove it. We’re trying to make believers out of everybody.”

Leading the way for Bothell will be superstar point guard Zach LaVine, who can best be described as a complete hoops pack-age.

Th e 6-2 junior guard, who has already attracted numerous scholarship of-fers from NCAA Division I schools, can drive to

the hoop with the best of them. But, as teams have already seen this year, he can also pull up, stop on a dime and knock down an NBA-length 3-pointer.

“He is bigger, stronger, faster, and better in every phase of the game than he

was last year,” Bollinger noted, adding that with the supporting cast the Cougars have, LaVine will feel less pressure to pro-duce on off ense. “People said he’s one-dimensional, only scoring; this year he’s rebounding, defense,

passing.”In addition to LaVine,

the Cougars round out a trio of guards that may be one of tops in the state. Perrion Callandret, a transfer from O’Dea, is a

Bothell guards Zach LaVine, left, and Derek Pinder, the Cougars’ basketball captains, look to lead the team to its fi rst state berth since 1997. The squad was ranked second in 4A entering the season. TIM WATANABE, Bothell Reporter

Inglemoor coach Greg Lowell addresses his team during a recent practice. The Vikings graduated four starters last year and will look to returning captains Sam Omondi and Chris Bryant for leadership. TIM WATANABE, Bothell Reporter

Young Vikings eager to improveBY TIM WATANABE

[email protected]

Longtime Inglemoor High School boys basket-ball coach Greg Lowell has seen a lot of young teams in his 24 years at the helm.

Aft er graduating a Viking boatload of talented seniors last year, however, Lowell said that the 2011-12 Vi-kings are the youngest team he has ever seen.

But he’s defi nitely up to the challenge.

“Th e kids have been working hard to improve,” he said. “Th at’s what we’re trying to do with each prac-tice and game.”

Growing pains were evident in the team’s season opener, a lackluster 57-41 loss to Mountlake Terrace on Nov. 29.

In that game, the Vikings were never able to get going

off ensively and were held to just two points in the second quarter, trailing by 25 aft er three periods.

“It was a ‘deer-in-the-headlights’ eff ect,” de-scribed Lowell on his team’s realization of the pace and intensity required in a var-sity basketball game. “We’ve never experienced some-thing like that for a while.”

Th e Vikings had a strong [ more VIKS page 12 ]

turnout of 45 players this season, and do have a num-ber of talents that have high potential this year. Chris Bryant, the starting point guard, is the player with the most experience returning from last season and will run a solid backcourt.

Up front, the Vikings lost a lot of their inside height advantage they have held in recent years with players like Paul Jorg (6-foot-8), Brady Gregor (6-7) and Tyler Bobin (6-7), but they have made up for those loss-es with a lot of athleticism in forwards Sam Omondi and Cooper Danby.

“We’re a little bit long and pretty thin,” Lowell said on the Vikings’ inside game. “We’ll still have a post game, but it will be a bit of a differ-ent type of game. We have

quite a few kids that are 6-5, 6-6.”

The other starting slots are still up in the air, as Lowell will see which players develop over the course of the season.

“We haven’t really settled on a starting five,” he said. “It could be changing throughout the year.”

The Vikings rebounded from their season-opening loss with a 67-50 win over Auburn Riverside, but since then have dropped three in a row to open Kingco league play, including a 56-45 loss to Ballard on Tuesday night at home, as the Vikings con-tinue to form their identity.

“We’ll have to gel of-fensively,” said Omondi, who was throwing down some one-handed dunks during a recent practice. “In our first game, our defense

really wasn’t that bad, but on offense we weren’t getting many open looks.”

Added Bryant, “We have a lot of young guys coming in and they have to learn a little bit more, but we’re ready.”

And in a league that seems to only get tougher every year with talented squads like Garfield and Skyline, the Vikings’ only hope to get out of Kingco will be to develop that sixth sense on the court, which only comes with practice and hard work.

“We’ve got to do a better job of focusing and concen-tration,” Lowell admitted. “That’s the biggest thing with young kids, getting them to practice a certain way, with a certain intensity, and having it carry over. Right now, that’s the process we’re in.”

Senior forward Sam Omondi slams home a one-handed dunk during a recent practice at Inglemoor High. The 6-foot-5 senior and team co-captain is one of the Vikings’ post threats. TIM WATANABE, Bothell-Kenmore Reporter

player Bollinger believes is also a Division I-bound guard, and team also returns Derek Pinder, who has excellent ball-handling skills, as well as experience.

Put those three together with sophomore sharp-shooter Kellen Webster, 6-5 center Aaron Wilks and versatile returning starter Prince Lacey, and the Cougars clearly have the depth and talent to do great things this year.

“A lot more confidence,” said LaVine on the main difference between this and last year’s squads. “We’ve got a lot of returning play-ers that know what they’re doing.”

As happy as the team was after its convincing win against Federal Way last Saturday, the boys know they have a long row to hoe against a lot of tough teams in the stacked 4A Kingco league just to make it back to the 4A state tournament, a venue the program has not experienced since 1997 — only a couple of years after Bollinger first took over the program.

Bollinger, who graduated from Bothell High in 1979 and once scored 53 points in a varsity basketball game — a record that still stands today — said that his team

has the goods, and if it stays focused and unself-ish, the results will take care of themselves.

“If they work together, they’re going to be a good team,” he said. “It won’t be a situation like last year where we were behind all the time. We can play ahead with this group.”

Added LaVine on the Cougars’ keys to success, “Just staying focused in practice, keeping everyone involved, going hard. Go-ing out and winning the games we’re supposed to.”

The Cougars (3-1) take on Garfield (3-1) tonight in a highly anticipated home matchup at Bothell High. School, tipoff at 8 p.m.
