Test results from sedi-ment samples taken from the shores of north Lake Washington last summer were released � ursday.

� e Washington State

Department of Ecology’s (DOE) initial view is that the majority of the 30 test sites were within an accept-able range.

“� e results look encour-aging,” said DOE spokes-man Larry Altose. “� e samples taken at Harbor

Village and the North Lake Marina had elevated levels, but all the other levels were below the threshold.”

� e news was met with a positive reaction from Kenmore o� cials.

“We’re encouraged by these � ndings,” said Ken-

more Mayor David Baker in a release. “� e city made a worthwhile investment that succeeded in giving our community informa-tion and reassurance about the lake bottom, while clarifying where to direct further environmental

e� orts.”Altose said that there

is no state standard for sediment contaminants, so the DOE uses the cleanup standard for dry soil as a comparison, which is 11 parts per trillion.

“� at is getting down be-

low the levels of detection,” said Altose. “We think it is a fair and formal bench-mark. � e concentration of sediment (in the majority of testing areas) we consider clean.”

It can be di� cult as a parent to get out and attend a fun event with

the family. Being the parent of a special needs child can make it nearly impossible.

Parents in the Bothell High School community, along with choral director Sheri Erickson and senior � ea Snow, are organiz-ing two separate events for families to enjoy and sup-port two good causes.

� e Comfy Concert and

Jazz for Babies will take place within six days of each other, but both will � ll a special niche in the com-munity.

Comfy ConcertMarie Juchau’s daughter

Grace, who has autism, loves music. But like many special needs children, Grace has a tough time singing along or being disruptive during live per-formances. She can’t even go see her older siblings perform.

“We could tell that she was frustrated and sad that she could not stay for the concerts,” said Juchau. “Be-cause of her love of music I wanted her to have the opportunity to be able to at-tend musical performances and not have to leave. I also

knew of other families who were in the same situation.”

Juchau talked with Erickson, who had the idea for the Comfy Concert. � e performance, by Bothell High School choral and band students, is for special

A Bothell man will receive nearly $40,000 from the City of Bothell in connection with an illegal search of the man’s home and seizure of property in 2008 during a raid on an illegal marijuana growing operation.

� e city will pay Eric Scott Levine $25,000 for the illegal search and seizure of property from his home and an additional $14,700 to be paid to his attorney for fees accrued during the past � ve years. U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman ordered the judgement on Wednesday as a result of a civil lawsuit � led against the Snohomish County and the

City of Bothell. � e warrant used to

search the home in 2008 was deemed invalid because Bothell Police Det. A. Sean Ungvarsky submitted an unsworn a� davit to the Cas-cade District Court Commis-sioner Paul Moon, according to court documents. � e Commissioner struck out the words “subscribed and sworn to before” on the a� davit. � e Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney’s o� ce then approved the warrant to search Levine’s residence. Bothell police also used an unsworn warrant to obtain electricity records from the Snohomish County Public Utility District No. 1, accord-

needs kids. “I thought it would be

nice to have an event just for (special needs kids),” said Erickson, who has a granddaughter with special needs.

It is designed to be a place where special needs children can be themselves while enjoying a musical performance. They are encouraged to wiggle, sing and dance with the music. But most importantly, enjoy themselves.

“I wish there were more things like this because we would be going to them all the time,” said Juchau, whose daughter performed in the concert last year. “Many families want to be able to take their kids to music events and can’t because their child just makes too much noise.”

Juchau said that there were kids last year who wiggled in their seats and made noise. But it didn’t distract the students on stage.

“It was cute to see the re-sponse of the students (on stage),” said Juchau. “They would just smile when

someone in the audience would start singing along.”

The second annual Comfy Concert, co-spon-sored by the Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) and BHS Music Department, will take place at 7 p.m. on Feb. 7.

Parent and SEPAC member Paula Quigg came up with the name of the concert.

“It was to set the tone,” said Quigg, whose daugh-ter was an usher last year. “We want it to be comfort-able for the kids and the parents. We want the par-

ents to feel like they don’t have to shush their kids.”

The event also benefits the performers, as the music program partici-pates in their annual solo ensemble competition two days later. The event allows the kids to get used to the butterflies of performing and being interrupted.

“They often don’t get to perform before the contest so it is a nice warmup,” said Erickson. “it is good for them to learn how to play when they are dis-tracted.”

Organizers expect a few more people this year, as word has spread about the event throughout the Northshore School District and beyond. Last year the event drew 75 kids. Erickson said she thinks it is the only concert of its kind locally.

“I know we will have more students performing this year,” said Erickson.

“I think it is unique and it is so nice to have such a supportive community.”

The Comfy Concert has a suggested donation of $5 per family. All children must be accompanied by

an adult.

Jazz for BabiesSnow’s event will also

help kids, but in a very dif-ferent way.

She has organized Jazz for Babies to benefit the March of Dimes as a part of her Culminat-ing Project. The event, which will take place tonight at 6 p.m., will feature the BHS Jazz Choir and Band.

“I am interested in being an event planner later in life and I am very pas-sionate about the March of Dimes,” said Snow, who is a member of the March

of Dimes Officer of the Future Business

Leader’s of America Chapter. “It is defi-nitely harder than I expected. There has

been a lot of paper-work.”

She said that she got some help and advice from BHS music director Phil

Dean and Erickson.“I would really like to

see us donate more to the March of Dimes this year,” said Snow. “Last year we were fifth in the nation with $4,000 and this is an extra fund raiser.”

The event has a sug-gested donation of $7.

The Northshore Per-forming Arts Center is located on the Bothell High School campus at 9130 N.E. 180th St.

ing to court records.The City of Bothell and

Snohomish County have an inter-local agreement establishing a regional drug task force, which was a part of the search and attempted prosecution of Levine.

Levine’s attorney, John Muenster, challenged the legality of the warrants under the Fourth Amendment of the state Constitution. As a result, the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office sought to dismiss the case. The prosecutor’s reason for dismal was that the “state is

unable to overcome challenge to the search warrant that would ultimately result in suppression of evidence.”

In October, Ungvarsky argued that he thought he was issuing the warrant un-der oath because he had not taken an oath.

“No reasonable officer could claim to be unaware of the basic rule,” said Pechman in legal documents. “War-rantless search of the home is presumptively unconstitu-tional.”

The city seized more than 30 of Levine’s firearms and his home as profits from

the operation but both were eventually released to Levine.

The criminal case against Levine was dismissed in 2010.

During the search of the home 70 marijuana plants were seized from the base-ment. Levine’s ex-girlfriend turned him in to Bothell po-lice while reporting him for assault. Levine was arrested on the assault charges and while in jail police searched his home for the marijuana plants.

Levine is currently ap-pealing his conviction on the assault charge.

According to FBI statistics more than two million homes across the United States are burglarized each year.

Victims of burglaries reported an estimated $4.8 billion in lost property in 2011 with the average loss per homeowner being $2,185. Favorite items for criminals to steal are cash, jewelry, guns, watches and electronic devices.

While burglary, by definition, is a crime where there is no direct confrontation by a criminal, almost everyone who has had a home burglarized knows that it can leave a family feeling violated, vulnerable and angry.

Fortunately, there are a number of steps that hom-eowners can do to lessen their risk of becoming a victim of burglary. Taking the time to “harden” your home against intrusion can decrease the odds of being burglarized. Criminals want to be successful in committing their crime and many will by-pass your home if it requires too much skill or time to break into.

The Bothell Police Department (BPD) takes the investigation of burglary cases very seriously. During the last year, BPD has arrested a number of burglary suspects and has, on many occasions, recovered stolen items. We want to be able to identify and return property to the rightful owner but need your help. A few simple things that you can do that will increase the likelihood of getting your property back should your home be burglarized include taking the time to engrave your driver’s license number on your larger, valuable possessions, taking a video or photographs of your belongings, particu-larly your jewelry and other small valuables, and keeping the receipts from your larger purchases. Keep that information in a safe location such as a safety security box. Taking these practical steps will also help you with insurance claims in case of fire or flooding.

The Bothell Police Department believes the security of you and your family is the top priority. Should you find yourself the victim of a burglary or some other crime, call 911. We are here to serve you.

Bothell police burglary tips 1. Lock your doors, even when you are at

home. Remember this includes locking your garage

door and back door. Burglars know that these doors o� en the weakest point of entry and pro-vide the most cover from being observed.

2. Lock your windows or block them from fully opening.

Most windows have latches, not locks and so homeowners should use secondary blocking devices to prevent sliding them open from the outside. Windows should be blocked so that they open no more than six inches. Make sure that a person can’t reach and remove the block-ing device.

3. Trim shrubs/landscaping that obscures windows and doors.

Taking this simple precaution will prevent a burglar from being able to hide from view while trying to enter your home.

4. Observe and report!Be observant. If you believe someone or

something isn’t right, it probably isn’t. If you see something suspicious, call the police immedi-ately.

5. Be a Good NeighborGet to know the people who live near you and

exchange contact information with them. No-tify neighbors when you will be out of town.

6. Keep your home well lit. A dark house can signal that no one is home.

Connect some lamps to automatic timers to turn them on in the evening and o� during the day.

7. Document your valuable property. Keep a detailed inventory of your valuable

possessions, including description of the items, serial numbers, and original value (receipts if you have them). Keep a copy in a safe place away from home such as a safety deposit box or at a relative’s home. � is is a good precaution in case of � res or other disasters too.

Engrave all of your valuable property with your driver’s license number.

Photograph jewelry and consider having expensive jewelry appraised.

8. Keep small valuables stored out of view.Do not leave cash, valuable jewelry, credit

cards and other small valuables out where they are readily visible.

9. Install a quality Alarm System.Make sure the system has an audible compo-

nent. Advertise your alarm system with decals and lawn signs. Make sure your alarm response call list is up to date. If you have it, use it!

10. Secure your vehicle.If you park your vehicle in the driveway, keep

your garage door opener out of sight.

Carol Cummings is the Bothell Chief of Police.

One of my favorite things to do as a librarian is recommend books. I enjoyed it when Evelyn, a former volunteer, would frequently ask me for rec-ommendations. Her tastes differ from mine so it was always a challenge.

I prefer gritty, dark fic-tion and she likes gentle reads, often about British women vacationing on the coast of somewhere warm, or mysteries with-out violence. I had been able to find her quaint novels before and I made a few new recommenda-tions based on books I had heard about.

One day I made a rec-ommendation for a title that contained a slightly tasteless scene that put her off and she started asking others for recommendations. I was crushed. I should have used Novelist.

Novelist is an-other database subscribed to by the King County Li-brary system. When you visit the database page, www.kcls.org/databases, you will find it under the alphabetical list, or under the subject head-ing marked reading. Once

you log on with your card number and PIN, you can

start searching for a new book.

There are multiple ways to use the database. You can search for authors and titles, or browse by genre and subgenre or find

a new series. It’s easy to look up a title you’ve en-joyed to find a read-alike list based off the book and author. There are special sections for award winners within genres or across fiction. Advanced searches allow you to

pinpoint the audience of a book such as adult, young adult or children’s, publication date, and lexile level.

Once you have selected a title, you can read pro-fessional reviews on the book, Good Reads ratings and find book group discussion guides. Book records include genre, tone and pace of the story, so you will know if it is upbeat and happy or if the writing style is witty or lyrical. There is also a link to take you directly to the item in the KCLS catalog so you can start placing your holds. Cre-ate a personal log in to save titles you have read, or create a list of things

you’d like to read or email finds to your book group members.

I could have avoided making a bad recommen-dation by using Novelist. Under the category of mysteries, I looked over subheadings of It’s Get-ting Very Noir in Here, Crafty Crimes and finally settled on Getting Cozy. That list of cozy myster-ies is the perfect fit for Evelyn’s search. What’s your next read?

Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an ex-pectation of the job.

Jim Torpin has a good understanding of the North-shore Fire Department.

He got his � rst job as a � re� ghter in 1993 with the department and worked his way up through the ranks. He was promoted to lieutenant in 1998 and deputy chief in 2005. He was named acting � re chief in 2011 with Tom Weathers’s retirement.

But it was his time with Weathers that he says has prepared him the most in his new role.

� e Northshore Fire De-partment Board of Commis-sioners unanimously named Torpin to the permanent position of � re chief on Jan. 15 and a badge pinning event took place on Jan. 29.

“It is really not going to change much,” said Torpin, who is 54. “I inherited a very good department.”

Torpin said that he admired Weathers’s relation-ships within the depart-ment, but he kept in place an accountability within the department, which serves Kenmore and Lake Forest Park.

“He was fantastic,” said Torpin. “He was very collaborative with sta� . He was great to work with. He let me be really involved.”

Torpin said that he and Weathers also shared a � nancial philosophy for the depart-ment that will not change.

“� e primary source of revenue for all government agencies is property taxes,” said Torpin. “During the past four years we have made changes internally instead of raising taxes.”

Torpin said the depart-ment’s budget is 2.5 percent less in 2013 than it was in 2009.

“Our revenue is about 13 or 14 percent less than in 2009,” said Torpin, who is proud that the department is small and nimble enough to make changes without a ton of red tape.

He said that he and his department are very appre-ciative for the community’s support, including the new � re department headquarters in Kenmore.

His ability to continue his work with the budget was a contributing factor to the decision by the Northshore Fire Department Board of Commissioners.

“� e board made this deci-

sion in light of the leadership and job performance shown by Chief Torpin,” said Fire Commissioner Eric Adman. “He has contributed to a very good working relation-ship between the board and department administration, and to keeping the depart-ment operating at a high level within a reduced budget.”

� e ability to be that conservative with the budget comes from concessions within the department and the union.

“We understand that the economy is tough on everyone and we need to do our part,” said Torpin. “� e employees here are fantastic. Everyone does their part.”

Negotiations with the union are something that Torpin has seen from both sides. He served as the presi-dent of Northshore Fire� ght-ers union Local 2459 from 1997-2003.

“Local 2459 believes that Chief Torpin is well suited to lead the Northshore Fire Department in regionaliza-tion e� orts, while at the same time maintaining � scal responsibility and continuing to display sound, reasonable

judgment,” said IAFF Local 2459 President, Jim Harvey.

Torpin leads by example as he served as Fire Prevention Division chief for a year, while serving as deputy chief.

He said that under his lead the depart-

ment will continue to put a big emphasis on training.

“� e � re� ghters are really dedicated to training and self improvement,” Torpin said. “No other department trains as much as my guys do.”

Torpin said that the biggest change within the depart-ment came in the early stages of his career when it went from having about seven to 10 volunteers to being all full-time employees in 1995.

“I was part of the � rst class hired from outside of the volunteers,” said Torpin, who grew up in the area and graduated from Juanita High School. He has been married to his wife Terri for 27 years and has two adult children.

But changes may be in store for the department as the discussion of regionaliza-tion with other departments continues.

“We are going to take a hard look at it,” said Torpin. “� e goal would be to make our service more e� ective or better. It has to meet one of those requirements.”

New Fire Chief has spent entire career with NFD

have to wait for the report to be completed to assess the results from the North Lake Marina and Harbor Village.

“Kenmore Industrial Park (KIP) does not seem to be the source (of contam-inants) from these results,” said Altose.

Kiewit/General/Man-son is using a portion of Kenmore Yard, at 6423 N.E. 175th St., as a supplemental construction site for prepa-ration and maintenance, component construction and barge transportation to the 520 bridge.

� e DOE issued a viola-tion notice to KGM on Dec. 28 for sediment disturbance and Altose said that these results do not a� ect that no-tice. � e notice states that the DOE has documented two occasions when KGM tugboats have caused visible sediment disturbances in the Kenmore Navigation Channel. KGM is now required to � le a report within 30 days telling the DOE what steps they have done and will take to con-trol such waste or pollution. � e DOE will then inform KGM of the next steps.

KIP, where Kenmore Yard is located, was once the site of the 45 acre Bayside Disposal Dump and land� ll. Tests have con� rmed that there are no polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs, a toxic environmen-tal contaminant) at the site, according to o� cials.

In all, 30 sites were sampled and checked for various contaminants. � e sediment, and not the wa-

ter, was primarily sampled because the types of con-taminants tested for adhere to the sediment and do not directly a� ect the water column. Ten water column samples were also taken.

Altose said the 10 samples did not exceed state water quality standards.

� e locations tested in-clude the Kenmore Naviga-tion Channel, multiple sites around Kenmore Indus-trial Park, Harbor Village, tributary 0056 (the stream closest to Harbor Village), the North Lake Marina, Log Boom Park, Lyon Creek Park Waterfront Park in Lake Forest Park, alongside the Sammamish River and the boat launch near the Sammamish River Bridge, among others.

Eleven of the sites were close to the shore.

“� ey just waded out and used hand trowels to take the samples of the sediment,” said Altose.

Samples taken clos-est to the shore reached a depth of four inches into the sediment. � at four-inch depth is known as the benthic zone. It is the ecological region in the ocean or a lake where most living organisms are found. It is also the area in which humans or dogs would come in contact.

� e tests looked for a myriad of contaminants.

“� ere was a variety of things they were testing for, but it was primarily dioxins,” said Altose.

Speci� cally, the tests looked for a series of metals, chemicals, oils and

dioxins that include a fam-ily of chemicals. � e oils include PCBs, phthalates and chlorinated hydrocar-bons.

“Phthalates are in plastics and they make (plastics) so� er,” said Altose. “� ey are very common in our so-ciety and they do evaporate. � ey did appear in minute quantities.”

Other chemicals tested for include pesticides and phenols, among many others.

And although there were some results that were elevated, they were within the accepted limits.

“A few of the samples tak-en at other places around the lake were actually

higher,” said Altose, refer-ring to sites on the other side of Lake Washington. “You will never come to a place where there are no dioxins.”

Altose said the main channel had a “low back-ground level of dioxins.”

As for the results at the North Lake Marina and Harbor Village, Altose said: “We don’t know where the dioxins are coming from so we need to identify the source. We have to � nd the source to be able to do the cleanup so that the contaminants do not come back … � ese reports will inform lots of decisions.”

Two house fires in Bothell within five days resulted in $200,000 in damage last week. They are not believed to be related.

A family with children was able to escape un-harmed after their Bothell home caught fire Jan. 22.

Fire crews responded to the residential structure fire located at 3204 200th Place S.E. in the Snohomish County Fire Protection Dis-trict No. 10 area of Bothell at approximately 10 p.m.

Crews found smoke and flames coming from the ga-rage of the two-story single family home. Firefighters were able to control the fire quickly and the damage - estimated at $50,000 - was contained to the garage, said officials. Two vehicles were also damaged in the fire.

“The big deal is it was knocked down quickly,” said Lisa Allen, public informa-tion officer for the City of Bothell Fire and E.M.S. “All of the rooms in the home are still livable.”

Smoke detectors alerted the residents, including an undisclosed number of chil-

dren, to the fire. Fire officials urge residents to check the batteries in your smoke detectors twice each year.

The cause of the fire was undetermined.

Crews from the City of Bothell Fire and E.M.S., Northshore and Shoreline fire departments, Snohom-ish County Fire District No. 7 and Woodinville Fire & Rescue responded to the fire.

The Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office is han-dling the investigation.

On Sunday, fire crews from four separate depart-ments responded to a residential structure fire in

Bothell at approximately 11 p.m.

A female homeowner sustained minor injuries but was able to get out of the house prior to crews arriv-ing. There were no reports of injuries to firefighters.

Crews from the City of Bothell Fire and E.M.S., Northshore Fire Depart-ment, Woodinville Fire and Rescue and Snohomish County Fire District No. 7 found smoke and flames visible upon arrival at the home, located at 3333 228th Street S.E.

Firefighters were able to contain the fire quickly.

The single-family residence sustained extensive dam-age, estimated to be at least $150,000.

The cause of the fire was determined to be inappro-priate disposal of smoking materials near oxygen equip-ment.

“Cigarettes and oxygen tanks are a very dangerous combination,” said City of Bothell Fire Marshal Frank Shasky, whose office is con-ducting the investigation. “As more and more people are bringing oxygen tanks into their homes, it is so important to understand the serious fire risks of smoking

near these highly flammable devices.”

The City of Bothell Fire and E.M.S. strongly urges everyone to practice home escape routes frequently and identify a meeting place outside. Additionally, practice crawling low to the ground when escaping a fire. The number one killer in residential fires is smoke inhalation.

Bothell Fire officials urge all families to protect themselves by having sev-eral working smoke alarms installed in the home and check the batteries at least twice a year.

two fires in Bothell in five days, cause $200,000 in damage

A Bothell man pleaded guilty Wednesday to as-saulting a Bothell police officer with his vehicle in connection with an inci-dent on July 17.

Joseph Thomas Medoro, 32, will face a maximum of 25 years in prison at sentencing next month for second-degree as-sault, attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle and unlawful possession of a firearm. He could face other charges in King County in connection with burglaries in Kirkland.

Medoro attempted to ram his Pontiac Grand

Am into a Bothell police car during a traffic stop for expired tabs last summer. The officer was not in the car at the time and had drawn his weapon to take Medoro into custody. After ramming the police car, Medoro drove at the officer while attempting to flee from the scene, according to court documents.

“(It) happened right after, when I was driving away and refused to im-mediately stop, drove in a reckless manner (running stop signs, speeding at high speeds, etc.),” stated Me-doro in court documents.

Medoro was able to elude police and the car was found abandoned in a

nearby neighborhood. Af-ter a short search, a police K9 tracked down Medoro in a nearby wooded area.

Medoro was under com-munity custody at the time for a previous conviction that included eluding po-lice. He was also wanted on felony charges in connec-tion with a rash of burglar-ies in Kirkland.

Medoro had a pistol in the vehicle, which he knew was a violation of his prior felony conviction for posses-sion of methamphetamines. Medoro was also found to have $4,000, a half pound of heroin, methamphetamines, a marijuana scale and other drug paraphernalia in his backpack when he was

arrested, court documents continued.

The officer recognized Medoro during the traffic stop as someone he had dealt with before, according to court documents.

A $20,000 fine could also accompany the sentencing in Snohomish County.

David Gehrke, Medoro’s attorney, plans to provide the court with mental health information prior to sentencing that he said in court documents will explain some of his client’s recent and past issues with the law.

His criminal history began when he was just 13 when he was charged with malicious mischief. In

1996, Medoro was convict-ed of his first felony for car theft when he was 15.

Medoro has been convicted of 11 felonies since 2004. He was released from prison in December 2011 after serving nearly five years for possession of stolen property and meth-amphetamines. He also has three previous convictions for attempting to elude police.

The state is requesting nearly 20 years in prison. The sentencing range is much more strict because the assault was perpetrated on a police officer in the line of duty, said Snohom-ish County Court prosecu-tors.

Bothell man pleads guilty to plowing vehicle into police car substitute cook assistants needed for school district

Northshore School District is in urgent need of up to 25 substitute cook assistants now at local schools. Hourly assignments range from 2-4 hours in length and provide flexibility for parents to work while their child is at school. Current hourly rate of pay is $10.44.

“It’s an excellent opportu-nity to be part of a success-ful Food Services team that serves quality, nutritious meals in a friendly, caring environment,” said Brenda Rodriguez, Food Services Supervisor.

Foundation makes grant to the NSD

Electric car conversion,

a new composites course, high school courses for college credit and literacy enhancements for English and Spanish speakers, are just a few of the impacts to be made by a $29,200 grant from the North-shore Schools Foundation to the Northshore School District on Jan. 22.

These funds support district career and college readiness efforts and are aimed at increasing stu-dent success rates as they enter into college and career following gradu-ation.

The funds were raised during the fall “All in for Kids” campaign, where

over 2,000 district fami-lies contributed to the cause.

“We are excited about the success of the ‘All in for Kids’ campaign because it combines and multiplies the efforts of thousands of families and community members who go above and beyond for our students. Families gave gifts of between twenty and a hundred dollars, sometimes more, and that added up. Every gift counts and the im-pact is significant,” said Carmin Dalziel, North-shore Schools Foundation executive director.

Funds granted will im-pact over 2,000 students this year and are an-ticipated to impact 10,500 students collectively over the life of the projects funded.

The grant distribution is as follows:

• $2,400 for a pilot 8th

grade College Board test to help students identify their interests and apti-tude for advanced studies.

• $2,000 to support the district auto tech program at Bothell High School where students are converting a gas vehicle to an electric one and then taking it on the road to show students district-

wide how electric engines can be more powerful and sustainable than standard gas engines. Funds will also support a new com-posites manufacturing course to prepare stu-dents for current Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) jobs at The Boeing Company and

� is has been a historic year for three Northshore high school basketball teams. One team was ranked No. 1 in Washington state during the entire season by the Asso-ciated Press, while two other local teams are ranked in the state’s top 10.

Cougar boys are still No. 1

� e Bothell High School boys basketball team won the

No. 1 seed to the 4A KingCo tournament along with the Crest Division title with a re-cord of 18-2 overall and 13-1 in league play. It took two months for the team to lose its � rst game of the season on Jan. 21. � e loss came during the prestigious King Holiday Hoopfest at Seattle Paci� c University’s Brougham Pavil-ion. But it was the intensity of the 66-63 loss to the No. 1 ranked 3A team, Rainier Beach, that spectators will remember.

� e game was played in front of more than 2,500

spectators. � e Martin Luther King Day event annually features the best teams in the state.

Bothell senior Zach LaVine exempli� ed the spirit of the competition, � nishing with a game high 34 points, despite waking up with a 103-degree temperature. � e UCLA recruit fought hard during the fourth quarter to bring the Cougars back from an 11-point fourth-quarter de� cit, scoring eight points during the � nal two minutes of the game. But the Cougars came up just short, as LaVine

missed two three-pointers inside of 20 seconds, includ-ing one at the buzzer.

Josh Martin and Perrion Callendret contributed 12 points each for Bothell.

“We learned that when you are down an important player (Kellen Webster) and have your top player (Zach LaVine) playing with a 103 temperature that the other players have to step up into roles that they don’t normally play,” said Bothell head coach Ron Bollinger. “When we are healthy we are the best team. We will continue to work on our overall team play, which will be vital when we are

playing at state.”Both Callendret and

LaVine have been selected as � nalist for the McDonalds All

American games.Bothell faced in-league

Among the sea of 2,500-plus fans at the Royal Brougham Pa-

vilion at Seattle Pacific Uni-versity, Bothell High School students eagerly anticipate the upcoming game between the Cougars and the Rainier Beach Vikings.

This match-up was the highlight of the King Holiday Hoopfest on Jan. 21, an event hosted to fundraise for the King County Boys and Girls

Club and Friends of Hoop.While fans desperately

searched for seats in the bleachers, I found the optimal place to watch the game on the baseline.

This wasn’t a Lakers’ game but the pace and intensity of both the Cougars and the Vikings sure made it seem like one. From the second that junior forward Josh Martin won the tipoff, the intensity never backed down. However, the Vikings scored the first couple of points and the Cougars just couldn’t

quite take the lead from Pac-12 prospect junior forward, Shaqquan Aaron, a lead scorer for Beach and the rest of his team.

Despite the loss, UCLA commit and senior guard Zach LaVine led his team by demonstrating his agility and showing his awe-inspiring dunks for the fans.

The game boiled down to the last 37 seconds of the fourth quarter, filled with fouls, freethrows, turnovers and comebacks. With less than a minute to go and five points down, the Cougars managed to close the deficit with the help of LaVine. A

missed 3-point shot at the buzzer sealed the score at 63-66, as Bothell lost its first game of the year.

There’s nothing quite like watching a sporting event from a place so close, you can walk onto the court with just one step. You don’t just watch the game, you hear it too; it was quite amusing to hear junior forward of Rainier Beach, Djuan Piper cuss out a referee within a personal distance, earning him a tech-nical foul.

Only a handful of people got the opportunity to wit-ness the full magnitude of LaVine’s dunks and feel the

aftershock of the trembling basket. Adrenaline flowed through my veins during the last seconds of the fourth quarter, as if I was on the court myself. Sheer enjoy-ment, faces twisted in frustra-tion, intense concentration and focus dominated the game, but bitter disappoint-ment and glorious victory are always the result.

From the baseline, that’s what you see; you see more than a game. You see pas-sion.

Regardless of losing, it was a good day to be a Bothell Cougar.

and picked up its second loss of the season 86-71.

Callendret and LaVine tried to rescue the team by combining for 66 points, but only two other players scored for Bothell during the contest.

“We were in a great posi-tion to win the Rainier Beach game and against Garfield we ran out of gas in the fourth quarter with the shorter bench,” said Bollinger. “The pressure experience for the bench will help us down the road. They were both games we can use in preparation for the play-offs.”

Callendret’s 31 points were a season high for the Univer-sity of Idaho commit.

The Cougars got back on track to finish the season, beating league rival Ing-lemoor 96-67 on Jan. 25.

“The biggest surprise this year would be the margin of victory in many games,” said Bollinger. “The King-Co con-ference is the best in the state with good teams and good coaches. We have been able to get the JV players in many games this year for some good experience. Not just the last minute but in some cases almost the whole quarter.”

The Vikings will take the No. 2 seed from the Crest Division into the KingCo tournament.

On Saturday, LaVine scored 39 points during an 88-48 victory against Red-mond. LaVine’s best game of season, 41 points, came during a 94-70 win against Eastlake on Jan. 18. The senior has scored more than 30 points in a game 10 times this season and more than 20 points in all but two games. LaVine is one of the top scorers in the state, averag-ing better than 30 points per game.

eagle boys are no. 6 in state

The Cedar Park Christian High School boys basketball team has not yet achieved its

biggest goal this year, despite having the best season in the school’s history. The Eagles were one of the last unde-feated teams in the state until Tuesday when they lost to Cascade Christian. Despite the loss the team is 16-1 overall and ranked No. 6 in the state at the 1A level by the Associated Press.

“One thing is that we’ve been able to stay healthy - knock on wood - for the en-tire season,” said head coach Adam Lynch. “A few nicks and bruises along the way but nothing that has kept our guys out for an extended amount of time.”

The team will have its chance to attain a main goal set in the off-season by making it to the state tournament. The Eagles will take the No. 1 seed from the 1A Nisqually league into the post season.

“The biggest challenge for us will be to stay sharp

between our last regular season game (Feb. 5) and the next game, which will be for the Tri-District Champion-ship (Feb. 16),” said Lynch. “That’s a long lay-off not to play so as a coaching staff we are working on creative ways

to make that a positive and keep our edge.”

The team’s largest margin of victory this year came on Jan. 2 in an 81-43 romp against Cascade Christian. Despite the big victory, the

Evelyn Bosker PorterFebruary 14, 1914 – January 7, 2013

Evelyn Cora Wiltse was born to Clarence H. and Louise (Weinert) Wiltse on Valentine’s Day, 1914, in Falls City, Nebraska, her home until her college graduation. The youngest of the family, she had two sisters, Gertrude Bauer Smith and Mildred Holbein, and two brothers, Sherman Wiltse and Irving F. Wiltse. Education was very important to the Wiltse family; all the children graduated

from college, very unusual for the time.After graduating from the University of Nebraska in 1936,

Evelyn began a teaching career that spanned thirty years. Her early years of teaching were in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Falls City, Nebraska, and Charlevoix, Michigan. In 1944 Evelyn accepted a teaching position in Traverse City, Michigan, which became her home for the next 46 years.

Evelyn married Edwin P. Bosker in 1949, joining Ed and his two teenage daughters, Katherine (Kit) and Freda, and their welcoming extended family. The couple spent forty-one happy years together in Traverse City, Michigan, and in 1966 established a winter home in Homestead, Florida. After Ed Bosker’s death in 1990, Evelyn relocated to Kenmore, Washington, to live with her sister, Mildred Holbein; she remained in the area for the rest of her life.

Evelyn’s musical talents played a central role in her life from her youth, when she won honors as a cellist in high school and college. Throughout her life she played the cello in ensembles and orchestras, and her amazing ability on the piano and organ gave pleasure to family, friends, her church, and community wherever she lived. In addition to her gifts of music, Evelyn’s great legacy was to the hundreds of students she taught and so positively influenced over her 30-year teaching career.

Throughout her nearly 99 years, Evelyn made and kept many close friends in every place she lived. All who knew her will miss her caring and cheerful presence in their lives.

Evelyn is survived by her stepdaughter Freda Bosker Sprietsma and grandchildren Janet Gifford Brown, Brian Elbrecht, and Steven Elbrecht. Her stepdaughter Katherine (Kit) Bosker Gifford died in December 2011.

In 2002 Evelyn married William H. Porter, Jr. Evelyn and Bill enjoyed several years together before his death in 2008.

Evelyn’s memorial service will be at 2:00 pm on Saturday, February 23, 2013, at Northlake Lutheran Church, 6620 Northeast 185th Street, Kenmore, WA 98028.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Evelyn’s memory to Grand Traverse Musicale, P.O. Box 2121, Traverse City, MI 49685, where gifts will be used for scholarships for

young musicians in the Grand Traverse area.732034

Dr. George VenemaDr. George J. Venema Died at home

January 7, 2013 in the loving arms of Patricia, his wife and friend of 59 years.

Dr. Venema founded the Bothell-Kenmore Animal Hospital after graduating from Washington State College of Veterinary Medicine in 1952. Later he and his parteners built The Animal Medical Clinic (Now the Bothell Pet Hospital) where he retired after 32 years of practice.

George and Pat raised five children in their Bothell home.He is survied by his children and their spouses; Candace and

Dick Behrends of Juneau, AK, Debra and Dr. William Cleveland of Snohomish, WA, George W. Venema of Snohomish, Dr. Laura Hoyt and Lothar Owart of Quincy, WA and Schlierstadt, Germany, David (Chris) and Mary Venema of Bickleton, WA, ten grandchildren and one great-grand child.

George embraced everything he did in his life with enthusiasm and dedication both in his work and in his play. In his veterinary practice he brought passion for excellence to his animal patients and compassion to his long time clients. He delighted in seeing the potential in thoroughbred race horses. He was a small plane pilot, sang with the Seattle Seachordsmen and played a variety of musical instruments.

George served during WWII with the US Navy Medical Corps in the South Pacific.

He is preceded in death by his brother Robert Venema, his grandson McKinnon Behrends and many dear friends.

He will be interred at the Tahoma National Cemetery Street of Heros. Friends and family will gather this summer to celebrate his life. George lived both long and well. He will be greatly missed and

forever loved.732048

Eagles have grown accus-tomed to winning close ball games. The team has won five games by five points or less this season.

Junior Trey Drechsel has come into his own on offense, averaging 16 points per game and scoring a sea-son high 29 points against Lathrop of Alaska on Dec. 22 and 28 points against Eatonville on Dec. 21.

Seniors Luke Sauferer and Evan Scholten are also having a big year, averag-ing in the teens for scoring and providing invaluable leadership.

“Setting up our team-mates has been extremely important for us this

season,” said Lynch. “It has been a big part of our success and something we talk about on a daily basis. The good thing is we have a bunch of players that buy into that and it translates to better play on the court.”

Viking girls rolling

The Inglemoor High School girls basketball team is on the verge of winning the Crest Division title and is ranked No. 9 in the state at the 4A level, according the Associated Press. The team played Garfield Wednesday (after Reporter deadline) and will clinch the title with a win. Inglemoor will play at Woodinville tonight to

finish the regular season and attempt to avenge one of its only losses of the year.

The team has had to deal with many hurdles this season, but the biggest has been injuries.

“Coming into this week, I am hoping we will be 100 percent healthy for the first time this year,” said Vikings head coach John Augustavo. “I am confident that if the girls go out and match the intensity of the teams they are playing we will have a good chance of winning those games.”

The Vikings exceeded Eastlake’s intensity on the road Saturday with an impressive 61-38 win, mov-ing closer to clinching the regular-season crown and

taking the No. 1 seed to the 4A KingCo tournament. It was the team’s fifth consecu-tive victory.

The Viking defense locked down the Wolves during the game, holding their oppo-nents to single digits during the first three quarters. Ing-lemoor dominated the first half and went into the locker room leading 28-12.

The Vikings extended that lead to 48-21 before the fourth quarter even began. Eastlake gained some ground during the final eight minutes, but the lead was too much for the Wolves to overcome.

Inglemoor has just two losses on the season and sits on top of the division with 10 in-league victories. The

Vikings are 15-2 overall. In-glemoor has been dominant this season with only two wins coming with less than a 10-point margin-of-victory and eight victories of more than 20 points.

The team’s only two losses came back-to-back on Jan. 4 and 9 to Woodinville and Issaquah.

“They learned if they don’t prepare and come out with energy for every game, they will lose,” said Augusta-vo. “Since the losses, the energy level has increased at every game. As far as post season goes, they learned what it felt like to lose and they don’t want that feeling again.”

Inglemoor is led by seniors Kelly Conroy and

Deja Strother on offense. Strother is averaging more than 14 points per game. She has scored more than 20 points in a single game three times this season. Conroy is averaging nearly 14 points per game with a season high of 24 points coming on Jan. 25 against Bothell.

“They are all very versatile players,” said Augustavo about the entire team. “Most of the team can play more than one spot on the floor and are willing to do it for their team.”
