Ecology, Health get tough questions on lake sediment testsBY MATT PHELPS

[email protected]

Kenmore residents recently met with state of-� cials for the � rst time since sediment testing results from the Kenmore waters of Lake Washington were released in January.

During the question and answer session, residents and even some elected politicians had some pointed questions for representatives from the Washington State Depart-ment of Ecology and the Washington State Depart-ment of Health on July 11 at Kenmore City Hall.

Ecology spokesperson

Larry Altose noted that the study was a screening to determine if the areas where people and animal recreate are of concern to their health and not the end of testing for many areas.

Michelman, Novak and Safeco Insurance help Youth in Focus receive a $5,000 donation

Krista Michelman, own-er of Michelman Insur-ance Group in Kenmore, nominated Sandy Novak, a dedicated volunteer for Safeco’s Community Hero Award. This contest received over 170 applica-tions nationwide. Novak is one of sixteen recipi-ents selected to make a difference with a $5,000 donation to the nonprofit organization they support.

“Sandy Novak is a true force for good in the Puget Sound region,” said Michelman. “Her work with Youth in Focus doesn’t simply make our community better; it also inspires others to do get involved and make an impact. At Michelman Insurance Group, Inc. we

believe strongly in sup-porting our community and dedicated citizens.”

Safeco Community Hero Awards honor local heroes and nonprofit organizations that have a positive impact in educa-tion, health and safety, or civic engagement – and they support the com-munity involvement of independent agents.

Thanks to a scholarship process, the organization provides all necessary

materials and supplies, including a quality camera for each student to use for the entire quarter.

“The volunteer work I do with Youth in Focus is so rewarding to me because of the confi-dence gained and positive changes I see in these kids every quarter. On a personal basis, seeing the photos they create has also made me a bet-ter photographer” said Novak.

detailed questions came in a letter from People for an Environmentally Responsible Kenmore (PERK), who com-missioned its own scientists to analyze the testing results.

The letter takes issue with the one-time screening without follow-up studies, that testers did not consider different weather conditions and turbidity, the sample depths and the “limited” sampling sites.

Ecology’s Maura O’Brien said the study was conducted during the times where the environment is most like when people would recreate in the area.

“Given the distribution of the samples and the budget, we accomplished a screen-ing level of sampling,” said O’Brien.

Less than $160,000 was spent on the testing.

“It gives us a baseline con-dition,” said O’Brien.

The letter also outlined where the organization would like to see the process go in the future and praised the state for most of the work.

A scientist hired by the Kenmore Action Network, Greg Wingard, analyzed the data and said that he was happy with the testing but that more steps need to be taken.

“There needs to be more work done to find the source of the dioxins,” Wingard said. “The reason that is so important is because we do not yet know if the dioxins we have detected sitting at these marinas are static, meaning they were deposited

there a while ago and they are just staying there, or there is a source continually releasing that material.”

Wingard said there is the potential for an ongoing source because of the time lapse from the previous test-ing, as newer sediment would have deposited over the old.

He, along with many oth-ers, questioned what the next steps are going to be.

“We are hearing a lot of terms like ‘soon’ and ‘plans’ but we don’t have any kind of definitive timeline,” said Wingard.

There are no immedi-ate plans for more testing in the area and no plans for cleanup at this point. State Sen. David Frockt addressed all the representatives from the departments of Ecology and Health, telling them to be in contact so that those from the 46th District can help to address financial constraints in Olympia.

“We will be writing a letter to Sen. Frockt,” said O’Brien.

Along with Frockt, Rep. Gary Pollet, County Council-man Rod Dembowski and several Kenmore City Coun-cil members and candidates were in attendance.

Pollet was concerned with why the study did not consider the fish population in the lake. Department of Health representative Lenford O’Garro said the main focus of the study was swimming and boating in the test areas.

“The Department of Health actually puts out a fish advisory,” O’Garro noted.

That advisory takes into account what is a healthy limit for residents to eat,

despite the fact that the state does not have testing results for dioxins in Lake Washing-ton fish.

Pollet also questioned why the levels in the test results were not compared to state standards for contaminants and O’Garro explained that the state levels are for residential exposure and not recreational exposure. The difference is that there is an expectation that residential exposure, or a person com-ing into contact with soil in their yard, is more frequent than recreational exposure, or how many times a person goes swimming in Lake Washington, during the same timeframe.

Others took issue with the scope of the process and the amount of public input.

“What we asked for at the onset of any testing was that it would be a collaboration of both the public and scientists that we could determine were independent of the various agencies,” said Kenmore resident Patrick O’Brien.

O’Brien also listed other issues that the public asked for but that the departments of Ecology and Health did not address.

“What was done was that the public … was barred from participating,” said O’Brien. “There are scenar-ios that are going to test the limits of the testing you have done. We want people in the various concerned citizen groups to be part of the evi-dence that is gathered so we can say … to our constituents that this is a real enterprise and it has really been tested.”

Maura O’Brien with

Ecology said that a draft of the plan was released to the public and then the depart-ment held a two-week public comment period.

“We received 15 comments during that time period, which changed the draft plan,” Maura O’Brien said.

Patrick O’Brien and Mooney took issue with not testing some of the capped wells at the Kenmore Indus-trial Park.

Ann Hurst with PERK was concerned with the depth at which some of the sediment

testing was done. Some contend that some areas may need to be dredged and dredging would exceed the depth tested.

But officials stressed that the testing was for those us-ing the waters for recreational purposes and that more testing is also needed before work can be done on the navigation channels.

“We have always said that this is a screening level evalu-ation and, yes, more testing needs to be done,” said Nancy Ousley, Kenmore assistant

city manager. “Certainly some of those areas could be candidates for open water disposal but we won’t have a read on that until further testing is done.”

Maura O’Brien said the Army Corps of Engineers would have to test down below the depth before any dredging took place.

Depending on the condi-tion of the sediment, the process could be expensive as contaminated sediment has to be disposed of in an envi-ronmentally safe manner.

Kenmore signs agreement with Mainstreet

The Kenmore City Council approved a Pur-chase and Sale Agreement (PSA) for the 4.75 acre upper parcel of Kenmore Village, formerly the King County Park & Ride on July 8. MainStreet Property Group LLC (MainStreet) has signed the agreement with a $3.6 million pur-chase price.

The property is part of the redevelopment of the downtown. Kenmore Village, as it is known, is a commercial and residen-tial area at the north-west corner of 68th Avenue and 181st Street, across from the Kenmore City Hall. The deal will close when the building permit is issued.

“We are at the forefront of new development with excellent partners like MainStreet,” said Ken-more City Manager Rob

Karlinsey.MainStreet expects to

develop and build in excess of 160 units of quality multifamily apartments in downtown Kenmore, a portion of which will be affordable housing. Construction is expected to begin as soon as summer 2014.

The city purchased the property in 2005 for $2,525,000. It is currently an interim location for a skate park and layover point for two King County Metro bus routes. Accord-ing to Karlinsey, the city is evaluating options for a new skate park site and will have the above-ground skate ramps relocated. King County Metro is planning to move the layover loca-tions for the two bus lines to the Kenmore Park & Ride near 73rd Avenue and Bothell Way.

Last month, the city council approved a PSA for the sale of the lower parcel of Kenmore Village.

When I took over as assistant editor I drove through Bothell and Kenmore with a critical eye. I live in the area and

have driven those roads many times. But in view-ing the area with a more critical eye, I noticed more of the development and changes taking place.

One of Bothell’s biggest draws is its downtown. It is plain to see that it has a rich history and soul. But when I returned to the o� ce I asked a co-worker, “Where is Kenmore’s downtown?” She just laughed.

When I asked some people in Kenmore where the downtown was they just pointed me to State Route 522. Others pointed to behind Safeway in the general direction of Kenmore City Hall. No one speci� cally said Kenmore Village.

� e purchase and sale agreements for the Kenmore Village properties are not perfect. Many people have complained in these pages and else-where that the city lost too much money on the deals. Elected o� cials and city sta� state that the value will be realized when the projects are completed and surrounding properties are re-developed as well. � ere are other various arguments for and against the deals but this was the route taken.

� e fact of the matter is that current elected o� cials and city sta� tried to make lemonade out of lemons.

Local governments should not get involved in real estate transactions in the quest to spur economic growth. It rarely works out

well. Kenmore is a perfect example. Not many people saw the real estate crash coming in 2008. � e crash made it di� cult to get any kind of deal done and the city was le� holding the land.

I think the people in Kenmore value the Kenmore Village land more than a developer. It is not on SR-522, therefore the 50,000 commuters that use that road won’t see the project every day. But Kenmore

residents will. It will contribute to the city’s tax base,

business community and resident’s everyday lives. But the biggest issue for redevelopment is the fact

that o� cials are trying to create a downtown for a city that currently has none. It is not easy to start from scratch and it is a journey the city has been on since incorporation in 1998.

Hopefully that journey is over. Hopefully city of-� cials are right and the redevelopment of Kenmore Village will bring even more redevelopment and spark the creation of a downtown core that will strengthen Kenmore.?

Props to Bothell for fireworks cleanup

Props are in order for the city of Bothell. It’s one of the few remaining cities that allows its residents to light off fireworks. That decision creates extra work. All those fireworks mean the streets look like a war zone on the morning of July 5, lit-tered with the remains of those thousands of fireworks. The city of Bothell smartly has its crews of street-sweepers in full force, getting that gigantic mess cleaned up (before all that crud gets washed down into the storm drain system). Smart preven-tative medicine. Well played, Bothell. Well played.Ian Allan, Bothell

Saddened by Fourth of July mess

On the Saturday morning, two days after the Fourth of July holiday, I took my morning walk through downtown Both-ell. What I saw surprised and saddened me. I have attached a photo of the pile of fireworks garbage that was left in the park-ing lot of the property that now belongs to McMeniman’s.

Scattered all over the area was the debris from all the fireworks, leaving a huge mess for someone to clean up. This doesn’t seem like a very respectful way to treat our newest neighbors to our

community - using their prop-erty and then merely walking away without taking care of the trash that we created there. My hope is that next year we would be more thoughtful of others as we celebrate our independence and keep in mind that being independent doesn’t mean it is okay to be irresponsible and inconsiderate of others that our actions may impact.Chris Covey, Bothell

Van Ness and Sperry deserve re-election

In her letter to the editor of June 21 (“Appreciate Bothell and its history”), Erika Kienast asks, “How many of us truly love where we live?

As a Kenmore resident for 52 years, I can answer with an enthusiastic, “Yes, I love where I live.”

My wife and I raised three children here and have seen many positive changes over the years, especially since Kenmore incorporated as a city.

I am thankful for the work the Kenmore City Council has accomplished, including the recent sale of the Kenmore Vil-lage and Park & Ride properties to well-established developers. Now that the economy has taken an upturn, we can look forward to doing more of our shopping close to home.

And we just received the good news that our council succeeded in obtaining state funding for a town green where we and others can gather.

I am thankful for the fiscal responsibility and foresight the council exercised in the purchase and construction of Kenmore’s City Hall. The cost of construc-tion was $6.5 million less than the original bid, and the city incurred no debt. My wife and I have attended many meetings at City Hall, and we are impressed with the design, functionality, and environmentally-friendly features of the building. It is truly an asset for Kenmore.

The council also made a wise decision to com-plete the upper level and the underground parking lot at that time. They planned the building for growth. If they had expanded it in years to come, the costs would have been much higher.

When the King County Sher-iff ’s Office moved out of their office space in Kenmore, the Kenmore police could no longer share King County’s office space. Fortunately, the Kenmore police were able to move into the upper level of Kenmore City Hall.

I am pleased that the coun-cil was able to obtain federal money to finish State Route 522 (Bothell Way) from 65th to 61st Avenue Northeast. It was one

of the few areas that received money for construction in the last year. And the new stop light and upgraded intersection at 61st and Northeast 181st Street has greatly increased safety and mobility.

Having been involved in Little League and other youth sports, I applaud the council’s efforts in working with Bastyr University to provide the use of ball fields, as well as the council’s obtaining funding for playground equip-ment at Log Boom and Rhodo-dendron parks and the soon-to-be constructed playground at

Northshore Summit Park.This council is also

accessible. I have com-municated with each one and have found them

eager to listen and respond to my concerns. We are

fortunate to live in a city where our council members truly care about the citizens and what is best for Kenmore. I have found the council and city government to be open and transparent in all their actions.

I appreciate the hard work that each member of the present Kenmore City Council has done, and I have full confidence in Al-lan Van Ness and Laurie Sperry to continue their excellent work on behalf of the citizens of Ken-more. Because of their integrity and tireless work for the city, they deserve re-election.Bill Roetcisoender, Kenmore

Booth and Samberg are critical of how the city is run-ning its � nances, paying for capital projects and funding public safety.

“� ese [capital] projects add to the $43 million we already owe and the $52 million coming our way because the city is not maintaining our streets,” said Samberg. “If we stay on this course, taxpayers will see continued deteriora-tion in services with an increase in taxes. My top priority is to rein in the unnecessary and reckless spending and refocus our budget on the services our citizens truly need.”

Booth said that without � -nancial stability, the city can’t a� ect positive change and he is concerned with the leader-ship needed to guide the huge projects to completion.

“� e collaborative process that pulled together the many city stakeholders that re-sulted in the city’s Downtown Subarea Plan in 2009 was a sound process that Bothell citizens can take pride in,”

said Booth. “What most con-cerns people, at this point, is the length of time it is taking to get it done. What is needed

now is leadership from the city council to complete the vi-sion on time and on budget.”

Mustafa is critical of the entire process, especially the impact to local businesses.

“Downtown core development has

been slow, poorly managed and underfunded,” said Mustafa. “Many businesses have been hurt or forced to close entirely … We also lost the revenue created by those businesses, revenue that could have been used for ev-erything from lowering taxes to funding parks to e� ciently completing projects already in progress.”

She said that she is an advocate of big ideas but also wants e� cient, common-sense government.

Samberg said she is against

the city being involved in real estate development.

“As I did with the land purchases for the proposed new City Hall, I will vote against any more property purchases by the city,” said Sam-berg. “I will work to re-establish the city’s true role - establish-ing zoning – while allowing private in-vestment to mitigate the risk of development at no cost to the taxpayer.”

She is also critical of the deal to bring McMenamins to Bothell. She said she would also work to stop the develop-ment of a new City Hall and redevelop the Park at Bothell Landing.

“� e city sold this property at 37 percent of what we paid for it, with the promise of com-munity ‘amenities,’” said Samberg. “� e community was led to believe that McMenamins would provide free use of the city pool for pro-grams, such as school team practices, lap lanes, swimming lessons and water aerobics classes. In a bait-and-switch, the deep end will be � lled in and converted into a 4-foot-deep wading pool.”

She said the city council should require that promises

o� cials made to the public for a full-service swimming facility are kept as payment

for the signi� cantly reduced price of the property.

But the comple-tion of the SR-522 realignment is the biggest opportunity for council members to have an impact in the next session by helping to bring new

businesses to the area.Booth said he has unique

experience to help bring new businesses to Bothell.

“� e city council can best support economic growth by striking a healthy balance be-tween prescriptive planning and openness to the innova-tive ideas of private invest-ment and business owners,” said Booth, who applauds the

e� orts of the Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce. “… I’m excited about the chance to bring to the city council my business background that understands pro� t objectives as well as the bene� ts of jobs and services

that healthy businesses bring to Bothell.”

Samberg said economic growth starts with economic stability within the city. Streamlining government process can also help the local economy, she said.

“� e best way to spur growth in the city is process development applications in a timely, predictable manner, with clear and consistent building requirements, and fair development fees,” said Samberg.

Mustafa said the city needs to advertise its economic successes to draw more busi-nesses to the area.

“Advertise Bothell as a great place to start a busi-ness,” said Mustafa. “Empha-size the advantages of Bothell, and reach out to business

leaders looking for a great place to call home … When major businesses choose Bothell, the city should ag-gressively publicize that fact. Tell the public about the new business and encourage other businesses to locate here as well.”

She also advocates for the council to listen more closely to local business leaders’ ideas.

“We need to make sure everyone is at the table when it comes to decisions that im-pact our future,” said Mustafa.

As a community oriented organization, the Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce has created partnerships with other local organizations to support and improve our community. Through these partnerships, we became aware that this past year there were 165 homeless students in the Northshore School District and 18.16% of all students qualified for free/reduced cost lunches.

Since a stable food source is essential for students being ready to learn and for reducing the stresses on families, the Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce donated a portion of our Auction proceeds for the past two years to support three food stability programs in the Northshore community.

The Northshore Community Kitchen, a partnership with the Northshore Council PSTA, prepares and distributes 100 meals every Wednesday. Since April 2012, this service—made possible by the efforts of dedicated volunteers and donors—has provided over 3,113 meals to hungry students and families. The program expanded to also include 2,140 weekly “sack snacks” to all students attending the Community School’s Hang Time program at three Northshore junior high schools.

The Totes-to-Go program provides bags of non-perishable food items to families each week. Over the last year, this volunteer driven effort provided 425 totes to feed families.

The Free Summer Lunch Program helps meet the nutritional needs of children under the age of 18 when not in school. A second site will open at the 1st Lutheran Church in Bothell this summer and combined with the Kenmore Elementary School site, an estimated 2,300+ lunches will be served.

The Chamber is proud to be a part of this community and work with great local organizations such as the YMCA and Northshore School District who support these programs to help meet basic needs for everyone in our community.

Rod Dembowski was appointed to repre-sent King County

Council District 1 during February following the election of Bob Ferguson as Washington state attorney general. Dembowski was chosen by the council and will now face the voters.

He will face two chal-lengers, Naomi Wilson and John Fray, during the Aug. 6 primary. The top two vote getters will advance to the general election in November for the right to

represent Bothell, Ken-more, Lake Forest Park and Shoreline, along with areas in Woodinville, Kirkland and northeast Seattle on the council. The district has a combined population of 214,883.

Dembowski is a former Foster Pepper PLLC lawyer and also served as a policy analyst for the King County executive prior to beating out 17 other candidates for the council position.

After being named to the council, Dembowski became the chair of the Regional Transportation Committee. He names the

economy, infrastructure, environment, human ser-vices and the justice system as his priorities.

“King County can and should play a leading role in promoting and facilitat-ing a strong and grow-ing regional economy,” said Dembowski. “We should support traditional industries that provide the backbone of our economic success (e.g. aerospace, hos-pitality and tourism, and international trade), as well as new economy technol-ogy, bio-technology, life sci-ence and clean-technology industries.”

Wilson has worked in the health care field for a decade, managing Center for Disease Control-funded research centers to federal and state budgets with the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

She said her experience with the heath care field would be invaluable with the implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act.

“What we need are more people – not just public health professionals, but all leaders to learn what this act is going to do to make us all healthier, better protected against diseases,

and covered for those times when having health services is a life and death matter,” said Wilson. “The enroll-ment that starts this fall is going to require time, edu-cating the public – especial-ly those who are not now covered – and patience.”

But her experience goes beyond the health care field.

“I have served on numer-ous boards and committees, from low-income housing advocacy and technology, to bicycle/transit issues and community develop-ment,” said Wilson, who is a second generation Korean-American.

Fray is a newcomer to politics and is currently self-employed in the finan-cial services industry. He and his family have lived in Shoreline for more than a decade.

He said that with the election of Ferguson, and

Councilwoman Julia Pat-terson stepping down, the council needs new leader-ship.

“That leaves something of a leadership vacuum,” said Fray. “I’d like to be one of the council members to fill that vacuum.”

His biggest focus is on veterans affairs and the environment, but believes that the government’s focus should be on public safety. He said that he also wants to improve the council’s transparency and commu-nication with residents.

Fray said he is also extremely interested in the county budget and his accounting background would be valuable. But he has taken a different ap-proach to fundraising for his campaign.

“I’m a politician without a purse,” said Fray. “I don’t believe it’s right to ask oth-ers to finance a campaign.”

There are distinct advan-tages for an incumbent in any race. Dembowski raised $70,000 during the selec-tion process last winter and that total has increased to $118,000, with just $28,000 spent, according to the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission. Wilson has raised nearly $4,600, while Fray has yet to raise any money, accord-ing to commission records.

state funding appropriated for Kenmore town Green

The city of Kenmore received notice over the weekend that the State Legislature has appropriated $300,000 for development of a Town Green or Public Gathering Space as part of the Kenmore Village project.

Kenmore’s Town Green will be a signa-ture gathering space in the heart of the city’s downtown. The Ken-more Village developer and the city will partner together to maximize the Town Green’s public use while compliment-ing adjacent retail, office, and residential uses.

A key component of the Town Green will be its “walkability,” or its walking proximity to local businesses, major bus lines, the Burke-Gilman Trail, and resi-dential neighborhoods.

Shopping for sunglasses? The first dilemma is whether to invest in an expensive pair or go for the cheapies on the spinning rack at the department store. The answer depends entirely on your lifestyle. If you go through more than one pair a season, then you won’t want to risk leaving behind your investment at the beach or in your friend’s car. As long as you buy ones with adequate UV protection, it doesn’t matter if they cost $100 or $15. Just make sure you have a hard-sided carrying case for them so they won’t get scratched.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology, sponsor of UV Safety Month, says that any pair of sunglasses you buy should be labeled as blocking at least 99 percent of ultraviolet rays. If the tag reads, “UV absorption of up to 400 nm”, that means the glasses will absorb 100 percent of UV rays.

The color and darkness of a lens do not indicate their ability to block UV rays. Polarized lenses and mirrored lenses cut down on glare from shiny objects, such as cars, windows, and the surface of the water, but they may not block harmful UV rays

unless they are labeled as doing so.Blue-blocking sunglasses, usually amber-

colored, are preferred by pilots and winter sports enthusiasts because of their reported ability to make distant objects sharper in hazy or white conditions. Wraparound sunglasses are also the choice of people spending a lot of time outdoors because of their extended coverage, which blocks UV rays from entering around the sides of the eyes.

No matter the price or color of the lenses, make sure you buy sunglasses that claim to block at least 99 percent of UV rays.

� e Northshore Youth Soccer Association (NYSA) announced their 2013 Col-lege Scholarship recipients. Recent Northshore School District Class of 2013 graduates, Vanessa Huber and Michael Barclay, each received one thousand dollar scholarships.

Applications were accepted from graduating high school seniors who planned to enter an accredited institution of higher learning during the 2013/14 academic year. Two winners were selected based on their positive involve-

ment and commitment to the NYSA program and the community, as well as their participation in the NYSA coaching, referee and other programs. Having started playing soccer with NYSA from a very young age, Huber and Barclay were honored for their outstanding contribu-tions to their schools and community, along with suc-cess on the soccer � eld and in their academic achievements.

Huber, a Bothell High School (BHS) graduate, played NYSA soccer for eleven years coming through

the ranks from recreation ball, to FC Alliance premier to the last four years on the NSC Select Fury Team. Along with currently help-ing coach younger players, Huber is taking a referee course. She hopes to continue playing intramural soccer at Western University where she will be attending school in the fall planning a major in Kinesiology with the goal of becoming a Sports Medicine Physician.

Barclay, an Inglemoor High School (IHS) graduate, has also played NYSA soccer

long-term starting in � rst grade � nishing on the NSC Select Jabulan Team. In addi-tion to some refereeing along the way, Barclay played on his IHS Varsity Soccer team. He will be attending Gonzaga University working toward an engineering major.

� e Northshore Youth Soccer Association awards scholarships annually and supports teams in Bothell, Woodinville and Kenmore. Since it’s founding, the NYSA

has grown to include several programs at di� erent skill lev-els, representing thousands of

athletes ages six to nineteen. Visit northshoresoccer.org

Americans may be bet-ter informed about matters of diet and nutrition than ever before, but that does not necessar-ily change their behavior, accord-ing to a number of studies including several conducted by the restau-rant industry. Although many popular chain restaurants are trying to give consum-ers healthier alternatives to their traditional fares, the better-for-you stu� doesn’t sell very well.

For example, McDon-ald’s reports that sales of its least caloric items remain � at. “Although the chain devoted one-sixth of its advertising time to salads, they make up 2 to 3 percent of sales, and don’t drive growth,” said Don � ompson, the company’s president and CEO in an interview with the New York Times.

Consumers are not trying to do something for their health when they eat out, let alone when they go to a fast food place. � ey want

to indulge and get the big-gest bang for their buck. � at’s what they expect and the industry is happy to

comply.Fast food also

sells well because it is � lled with fat, sugar and salt, ingredients that can trigger a sense of comfort and sat-isfaction and may

even be addictive.And it is not just the food

itself that proves irresist-

ible for some, but also the act of indulging. Especially in times of stress, which in the lives of many people is nearly constant, we tend to fall back into old habits we have picked up over the years, some of which may be unhealthy and destruc-tive.

Experiments have shown that high levels of stress and fatigue can bring back once-established routines and make us act as if on autopilot. Scientists Wendy

Wood and David T. Neal of Duke University found that both good and bad habits can be mobilized in stressful situations, but that willpower almost always loses out.

“Willpower is a � nite resource. In the face of mul-

tiple stressful stimuli, our willpower wears out and it takes time … to recover,” said Neal in an interview with CNN. “If you’ve grown up with bad habits or formed them later in life, yes, the phenomenon is that it’s a net negative for

you. If a majority of your routines are unhealthy, then lacking willpower is really a problem. It becomes a double whammy because you are forced more into those patterns.”

the environment and promoting a healthier city. She believes the city can promote economic growth through better environmen-tal stewardship.

“Rewarding private businesses with incentives … [will] bring economic health\wealth to the com-munity and turn ourselves into a tourist des-tination,” Mooney said.

Van Ness agrees that business and economic growth, along with environ-mental issues, are two of the top three issues facing the city. But Van Ness also includes transportation issues, from sidewalks to State Route 522 completion.

� e recent sale of Ken-more Village continues to be a huge piece of the city’s economic develop-ment strategy. But Van Ness, who was not on the council when the land was purchased, said that he is still opposed to the city getting involved in the real estate and landlord part of the process. But ultimately he is comfortable with the results.

“… Rather than trying to � nd [a buyer] who would build precisely what we wanted, we looked for a buyer who had a similar vision to ours, a builder we could work with,” Van Ness said. “Ultimately, what is constructed will be deter-mined by the marketplace, not a prescription from the city. I’m pleased with the selection process.”

Van Ness said a higher sale price would have been nice but the city received what the market would bear.

“Not many properties are worth more than they were in 2007,” said Van Ness. “� e more conditions we place on the developer, the lower the sales price. � e city did not invest in the Kenmore Village property to turn a pro� t, at least a pro� t in dollars.”

Van Ness points to the expected economic value the city will get out of the re-development of the land.

“I see this transaction as a catalyst for other redevelop-ment in Kenmore’s down-town core,” said Van Ness.

Mooney agrees that the city will see great value in the future.

“I believe that what we might have lost in revenue, we will gain back in great businesses being the spring-board for good economic

growth in Kenmore,” said Mooney.

She is a big supporter of having Kenmore Camera as the anchor tenant for Ken-more Village and believes in supporting local businesses.

“It may sound silly to some, but I believe some-times good business deci-sions are based not just on the money’s bottom line, but also on a gut feeling

that people will take great care of a com-munity. [� at they will] put care into a property and build something special that money can’t, on its own, make hap-pen,” said Mooney. “I have con� dence

in the decision the city made in selling to Kenmore Camera and I have con� -dence in the city’s decision to sell to Benaroya. � ey are good people and care about a healthy Kenmore.”

But along with the rede-velopment of Kenmore Vil-lage, Mooney also advocates for the replacement of the industrial park on Ken-more’s shoreline.

“We can’t have asphalt fumes spewing out toward our bikers, walkers and run-ners on the Burke Gilman Trail,” said Mooney. “Without health, there will be no wealth in our community.”

Smith admits he does not know

much about the Kenmore Village process prior to 2012.

“What I understand is the city bought properties 10-plus years ago to ‘develop’ them and they sit today ‘undeveloped,’” said Smith. “On a pure results basis, this seems like a failure to achieve the goal in a timely fashion.

“I have heard from sev-eral residents who believe many costly mistakes were made since the city purchased the properties. Of particular concern seems to be the interactions with developers from 2007 until recently.”

He said there should be an independent review of the process prior to 2012 but he is supportive of the recent steps in selecting the new developers.

One thing that Smith dislikes about the contract is there is no timetable for development. He would like to have seen more detail in the contract overall.

“� e city and the de-velopers seem inclined to move at a prudent pace, but the absence of exact terms in the contract leaves the city at risk of having the

property sit in its current state without being devel-oped,” said Smith.

Van Ness said economic growth also comes from listening to what businesses want.

“I want Kenmore to have the reputation as a business-friendly city,” said Van Ness. “I want new businesses and existing businesses alike to be met in City Hall with a ‘How can we help you be successful?’ enthusiasm.”

Van Ness wants the con-tinuation of ideas like the Kenmore business incuba-tor and expedited permit-ting processes.

But Smith takes issue with the business incubator.

“� e city council autho-rized $238,000 for a ‘pilot’ incubator,” said Smith. “� e origi-nal estimate was $50,000 … I do not think that almost a quarter of a million dollars quali� es as a pilot. To me it is a major investment that deserves scru-tiny and adequate resources as well as routine monitoring/oversight.”

And while Van Ness supports the business registration ordinance that the council recently passed, because of the extra cost he would have liked to see the registration collected locally and not through the state.

“We need to show the businesses of Kenmore that our business registra-tion really is an informa-tion source, not a revenue source, and that they will receive bene� ts of sig-

ni� cantly greater value than their registration fee,” said Van Ness.

He believes that attracting new businesses and pro-moting economic growth is the council’s No. 1 goal, while maintaining the city’s livability.

“We need to make Ken-more a destination city, not a pass through city,” said Van Ness.

Mooney believes that growth starts with good environmental and health policy.

“Don’t elect me unless you want me to vote for environmental health,” said Mooney. “I have chosen to stay in Kenmore and make it healthier, but we need to vote for new public policy

for that to happen. � e businesses will bene� t if they are given the direction to be healthy and the freedom to do what they need to do without un-necessary govern-mental taxation … Our businesses are

a� ected by asphalt fumes and industrialized shore-line, so my feeling is that the policy has to change � rst so our sta� is directed to work with environmental health as its No. 1 priority. If health is not the priority in Ken-more now, then its wealth of opportunity will dimin-ish as it has been doing, in my opinion, for the past 18 years I’ve lived here.”

She also wants the gov-erning process to be more transparent, including tele-vising council meetings.

Smith views growth in an entirely di� erent way.

“I’m skeptical that most Kenmore residents want a lot of growth or that they want us to grow faster,” said Smith. “� ere are advan-tages and disadvantages of growth and I’m not sure we all understand those trade-

o� s … Some of the ideas I’d like to see us talk about would not necessarily show up in the economist’s de� ni-tion of the gross domestic product, but I think they would make our commu-nity an even more attractive place to live, play and work.”

Smith wants more e-tailing or internet-based retail in Kenmore with low or no-growth impact.

“E-tailing would boost gross domestic product and sales tax but require fewer parking lots and less carbon emissions from driving to other regional shopping areas,” said Smith.

Smith said he likes new ideas but the implemen-tation of those ideas is di� cult.

There can be a lot of risks with meet-ing new people

if protection isn’t used. One Bothell man used protection and had it stolen when he picked up a 19-year-old woman at a Snohomish bar June 29.

Summer N. Booher, who is not currently jailed but was arrested on July 1, was charged with felony theft for stealing the 24-year-old man’s handgun and other items from his Bothell apart-ment following a one-night stand, according to court documents.

Booher was also charged with second-degree theft and identity theft.

The man and a group of his friends carpooled to the Time Out bar in Snohomish where he met Booher. The two decided to walk to Booher’s apart-ment together for the purpose of having sex. But upon arriving, the man became uncomfort-able that Booher’s father

was passed out on the floor, the documents continued.

Booher and the man decided to take her father’s car to the man’s Bothell apartment. When the man woke up the next morning, he discovered his 9-millimeter Beretta 92 handgun, iPhone and wallet missing, the docu-ments continued.

The man called his bank to discover someone had used his bank cards four times for purchases totaling more than $100. Video surveillance ob-tained from a Walmart shows Booher purchasing goods at the same time the card was used, the documents continued.

Booher has no previ-ous criminal convictions but has a charge pending for being intoxicated in a public place as a minor. Two warrants have been issued in that case for failure to appear. She is also known to police for use of illegal substances, including methamphet-amine and heroin. Pros-ecutors have asked for $10,000 bail.

snohomish woman charged with stealing gun from Bothell man after one-night stand

yMCa to host backpack and school supply drive

The Northshore

YMCA and the Carol Edwards Center will host a backpack and school supply drive for local youth in need through Aug. 3. The drive is in memory of Nicole Lehtinen, a foster youth whose life was cut short in an auto accident at the age of 16. After her father died, 6-year-old Nicole became a foster

child when her mother could no longer care for her. As she entered foster care, all she had from home was her backpack.

Community members can support the drive by donating new backpacks and school supplies to Eastside YMCA’s begin-ning Aug. 5-23 at the Coal Creek, Bellevue, Sammamish, Snoqualmie and Lake Heights loca-tions. The YMCA will distribute the backpacks

to local non-profit or-ganizations that support foster children and other youth in need including Treehouse, Communi-ties in Schools of Renton, Kirkland Teen Union Building (KTUB) and the Northshore School District.

For more information or an interview, please contact Joan Zefkeles, Membership Services at Coal Creek YMCA.

A man robbed a Whid-bey Island Bank branch north of Bothell on Friday, with little clues that led police to an unsuccess-ful search in Mountlake Terrace.

Dispatchers received a call around 5:30 p.m. about a bank robbery in progress

in the 20600 block of the Bothell-Everett Highway, Snohomish County sher-iff ’s Lt. Jeff Brand said. The man left with an undis-closed amount of money before police arrived.

Soon, Bothell police received information that the robbery suspect might

be driving north on I-405, toward I-5, Brand said. A track brought police to the area of I-5 and 236th Street SW in Mountlake Terrace. Several other agencies as-sisted with the search until about 7:30 p.m., without finding their man.

The FBI also is investi-

gating.Authorities described the

robber as a white man in his 50s who stands about 5 feet, 6 inches tall. He was wearing a white sweatshirt and black pants during the holdup.

Anyone with informa-tion that might help solve the robbery is asked to call the Sheriff ’s Office Tip Line: 425-388-3845.
