While Cascadia Community College students are hitting the books in their classrooms, a group of Kenmore and Bothell people are hitting the sidewalks, putting up their campaign signs and talking to voters about the upcoming general election.

On a recent Th ursday evening, 10 of Erin Richards’ students in her Cascadia state and local politics course ventured into downtown Bothell and listened intently to the candidates’ messages at a forum in the City Council chambers.

“State and local government is what has a much more direct and immediate impact on our every-day life,” said Richards, who lived in Kenmore for two years before moving to Bremerton. “I wanted to encourage (my students) this year to take advantage of an opportunity that’s just down the road, since so many of them do live here in the Bothell area.”

Richards added that even those students who don’t live in Both-ell can still get caught up in local politics because city offi cials could be making rules and regulations that aff ect Bothell’s Cascadia campus, which it shares with the University of Washington, Bothell.

Both students — who received extra credit — and instructor — who added to her arsenal of classroom topics — had an eye-opening experi-ence at the forum.

“It was enlightening to me to hear about some of the issues. I’ve always wondered what was going on down with the Bothell Landing, and the fact that that seems to have been stalled for so long in terms of the construction,” said Richards, adding that she learned of some environ-mental issues (protection of forests

Special to the Reporter

Peg Dowd, owner of Bothell Main Street’s Shan-non’s Flowers and Gifts, celebrated 50 years in business and her last day on Oct. 12.

She has retired and sold her shop to Bothell Florist, which remains on Northeast 183rd Street and owner Larry Arzumanov intends to change its name to Shannon’s in the future. Dowd plans to work two days a week to help with the transition of ownership.

Dowd is passionate about her business and town, and Marlene Hofer of downtown Bothell’s Steve’s Café calls her “a wonderful person and always a supporter of

downtown Bothell.”“It’s the customers that

make it great,” comments Dowd, remembering a customer that came to the

shop every Friday for 22 years to buy a single rose for his wife. “You form a relationship with them.”

Dowd loved helping

families by supplying flowers for weddings and funerals, always adding a personal touch. One of her favorite events was helping

students choose flowers for the homecoming dances.

A vital part of the Bothell community, Dowd served for 10 years on the Bothell Parks and Recre-ation board and has been an active member of the Kiwanis. Dowd has seen many changes to down-town Bothell through the years and is confident that the new downtown plans will be positive. She is “ex-cited to see what they will create with the new park and public fountain.”

Dowd’s father, Bill Shan-non, bought the business in 1961 from the Evans family (the shop was previ-ously owned by the Keeney family in 1946), and ran it until the mid-1980s. Dowd and her mother continued the business, and in 1995,

Dowd took over as sole proprietor.

She remembers working with her father at the shop on Saturdays as a teenager; Dowd would “clean the flowers and shelves” and later helped on deliveries.

In her spare time, she intends to be more in-volved in the Kiwanis and the community. “We have a great community, a great town,” said Dowd, who is also looking forward to enjoying holidays off with her family.

Many are sad to see Dowd retire, but she comments that “it’s a new door that’s opening, I’ll be around in a different way.”

Alexandra Graff is a Bothell High senior.

Election signs stolen, cut up and tossed away?

Teachers being harassed because of who they’re supporting?

That’s what I’ve heard over the last two weeks, and it doesn’t sit right with me.

Whatever happened to running a fair campaign and letting people decide for themselves — without others’ harsh judge-ment — who they want to vote for in the Nov. 8 general election?

Remember, the above accusations are just what I’ve been told, but I think these issues need to be ad-dressed anyway, because we’ve all heard of things like this happening during election season — nationally or locally.

Elections are intense, people get passion-ate — that’s good stuff.

What we’ve tried to do at the Reporter is give voters a taste of what each candidate is about in the Bothell and Kenmore city council and Northshore School District

races. (This issue you’ll find Northshore Utility District and King County Fire Protection District No. 16 information on page 9.)

I hope you’ve delved into those stories and picked up on what everyone’s about.

Take a look at the letters section this issue, and you’ll see that people are get-

ting involved in the races and are sharing their points of view about the candidates. I applaud those writers for tossing their opinions into the ring, and I hope people continue to do so as the election season continues.

Have a say — and vote!

A strong school district equals students’ success

Every two years, our community takes part in one of the most important local elections on the ballots — the decision of who to elect as our school board directors. The Northshore School District (NSD) is one of the largest employers in its district. But, aside from providing jobs within this community, which includes portions of Bothell, Kenmore, Redmond and Wood-inville, it has a significant impact on the quality of life for all of us. The success of the district, meaning how well the NSD does in providing a strong education for our children, impacts the value of our homes, the types of businesses it at-tracts and even the crime rate in our area. Furthermore, and most importantly, the school district is a critical component to the future success of our children. There-fore, it’s well worth our time to consider the candidates we will be electing on to our school boards.

We need to ask the questions of what has our school board achieved, and what do we want it to achieve in the near and distant future. It’s not news that the NSD has worked on trimming its budget for the past decade. Yet, in spite of this daunting challenge, in the past two years our school board has managed to restore some of its cut programs (e.g., music and the fifth-grade overnight environmental program), invest in updating its math and literacy programs (as well as working toward sci-ence and other subjects), and resisted the practice of releasing staff during economic

downturns. The board has also been re-sponsive to the community’s requests for more rigorous middle-school programs. As a result of the collaboration between administrators, the board, and the com-munity the NSD is now implementing the first phase of a middle-school “Challenge” program.

For the future, there’s ongoing discussion about expanding the nationally recognized International Baccalaureate (IB) program and providing more Advanced Placement opportunities for students. The board has also endorsed district support for preserv-ing the largest forested area in Bothell, which feeds directly into the wetlands that are being restored by a group from the University of Washington, Bothell. And, for the first time in our district’s history, the board is tying achieving district goals with senior administrative performance evaluations.

By most accounts, the district under this current board has made significant strides to maintaining and advancing our children’s educations. However, the projections for a prolonged economic downturn will continue to challenge this district. This is, without a doubt, a criti-cal piece in determining the future plans for the district. How will the next school board respond to this hurdle, whether it includes a mix of new directors or keeps the current board intact? Will these board directors continue to engage the com-munity and collaborate to find innovative solutions? Will they continue to prioritize and protect student programs? Will those elected continue to assure oversight of fis-cal responsibility and transparency?

Whatever our concerns and criteria are for good school-district governance, we need to take the time to consider and elect the most qualified individuals onto the school board. At stake is the quality of our communities, as well as our children’s futures. Tolli Lowell-Forker, Bothell

‘What happens in the staff lunchroom can affect the classroom’

In school, our children face peer pres-sure, bullying and harassment. Teachers and principals work to improve school climate in order to reduce or eliminate the environment in which these negative behaviors thrive.

But what about when the peer pressure, bullying and harassment is being aimed at school staff members by other members of the staff ?

This year, a hostile environment has been created in some of schools in the Northshore School District over the school-board elections. Northshore School Board Director Districts 2 and 3 are both on the ballot. The teacher’s union has en-dorsed and financed the campaigns of two candidates, B-Z Davis and Janet Quinn.

I’ve heard that some school employees who have chosen to support Davis and Quinn’s opponents (Dawn McCravey and Joe Marshall, respectively) have been harassed and intimidated by some of their colleagues. Such a hostile work environ-ment for our school employees can have a

negative impact on our students. What happens in the staff lunchroom can affect the classroom.

The practice of teacher’s unions paying for a school-board candidate’s campaign carries with it negative implica-tions. Earlier this year, Anne Bryant, the executive director of the National School Board Association, said, “I think that unions buying the school board’s seat is just plain wrong.” School-board members vote on district budgets and em-ployee contracts. It is a conflict of interest for any candidate for school board to accept the endorsement of, and sizable donations from, any employee group, such as the teacher’s union or its president. John Mitchell, Bothell

McCravey: an eye on better education

As (Northshore School District director candidate) Dawn McCravey’s neighbor, I’ve observed Dawn over the years make hard decisions when cutbacks were necessary and yet still keep her eye on the prize (better education). I know that the changes made

by the school board with Dawn’s experienced direc-tion and guidance these last few years has given me the confidence, that I had lacked, to enroll my children in our lo-cal public school. The past two years the teachers have said to me that they are truly excited by the quality of the new cur-riculum that they are using to work with our children.

I am truly grateful for Dawn McCravey’s continuing dedica-tion to all our children and teachers.

I trust that Dawn Mc-Cravey’s continued presence on the board will bring about the best possible outcome for the future of education in our district. Briana Metting, Bothell

Davis: ‘one of the people responsible’ for district’s success

We are writing to clarify potentially misleading infor-mation in last week’s Reporter article on the school-board election, and in the similarly misleading ad.

Northshore’s teachers — the Northshore Education As-sociation — support B-Z Davis for school board. Northshore’s

paraeducators, nurses, school assistants and other educa-tors, all of whom are part of the Northshore Educational Support Professionals As-sociation, also support B-Z Davis. The school secretaries and office professionals, all who belong to the Northshore Educational Office Professional Association, also support B-Z Davis. All of the professional

organizations of Northshore educators support B-Z Davis. Here’s why:

B-Z Davis was on the school board for 16 years. Her record is clear; she is one of the people responsible for making North-shore a great school district. She is thoughtful and is as committed to our community’s students as we are. She respects the perspective of the teachers

and assistants who work in the classroom with our students. She values our knowledge, experience and success with our community’s students.

There are major differences between the candidates. Her opponent, Dawn McCravey, would not meet with our asso-ciation nor answer any written questions to disclose her views on education in Northshore.

Her claim that she collaborates with teachers is clearly untrue.

We hope you will vote for B-Z Davis.Signed by 51 Northshore teachers — the elected teacher building representatives of each school, representing all Northshore teachers

Bud NcCorchuk’s got a homemade “No Both-ell Annexation” sign strapped to the back of his bicycle. Whenever the unincorporated Sno-homish County resident hits the pedals, he’s getting the word out either by showing off the placard or by speaking with others in the po-tential NEWBA (North, East and West of Bothell Annexation) area.

Mickie Gunderson has lived in the NEWBA area for about 50 years and feels it’s time for her and thousands of others to annex into Bothell. As the Nov. 8 general-election nears and voters can decide to join Bothell or stick with the county, Gunderson’s been doorbelling those targeted neighborhoods and discussing the views of the “Bothell Annex Yes!” group to residents.

Both “yes” and “no” annexation signs domi-nate the sidewalks of major streets in the NEWBA area and people are discussing the issue around the clock.

“With the density we have, when you have 20 houses on two-and-a-half acres, this is the time to become a city. We need to group ourselves together and become one,” said Gun-derson, who was among thousands of unincorpo-rated Snohomish County residents to sign a peti-tion to be annexed into Bothell. “I am so happy to have my money go to Bothell. I want to see where my money’s going — I know it’s going to come back to me in my community.”

But that’s not all people are focused on when they raise the issue of annexation.

According to Nc-Corchuk — a retired Snohomish County Fire District 1 battalion chief — and his group, Citizens for Responsible Annexations, “Bothell’s annexation fails to main-tain current levels of fire and emergency medi-cal service,” two fully staffed full-time fire stations in the potential annexed area will close and emergency response time will rise from eight

minutes to about 15 minutes.

“We don’t sup-port the closing of fire stations or delayed paramedic response times. Our taxpayers have been very gracious to us over the years and we will fight to protect your fire and emergency medical service (EMS),” wrote Scott Hamilton, president of Snohomish County Fire District 1 Profes-sional Firefighters Local 1828, in a letter posted on the “Bothell No” Web site.

“Why give up hav-ing the highly-rained Advanced Life Support (ALS) paramedic just a few minutes away, on-call 24/7 in the Hilltop neighborhood fire sta-tion on Damson Road just to become part of Bothell? For me, safety comes first,” wrote Fire District 1 Commissioner Richard Schrock in a

letter on the “No” site, as well. This month, Fire District 1’s commission-ers voted 4-1 to oppose Bothell’s annexation.

Bothell City Coun-cilmember Tom Agnew, who was a King County firefighter and paramed-ic for 30 years, said the council voted to keep Fire District 1’s Station 22 open for five years and Fire District 7’s Sta-tion 73 will be co-staffed

by the Bothell Fire De-partment and the current fire-dis-trict em-ployees.

“Their person-nel will be merged into the city of Bothell if they choose. The city of Bothell has made

no bones about it — no one’s going to lose their job over this an-nexation,” Agnew said. (Those residents in Fire District 10 won’t see a

change since Bothell Fire and EMS already provides service to that area.)

Taxes and public services are also on the dockets of both the “yes” and “no” groups.

According to “yes” folks, the city of Bothell has said that property taxes will decrease while utility taxes will in-crease. Bothell plans to hire more police officers and add two additional patrol districts in the annexation areas, ac-cording to its Web site.

The Bothell “no” side asks about the prop-erty taxes and services issue, “How is that pos-sible? Especially in this economy.”

Patrick LeDoux, who grew up in Bothell and now lives in the NEWBA area, wants to be an-nexed and feels it’s ben-eficial for everyone.

“The bottom line is we should let the citizens speak,” he said. “When you have the opportu-nity to not have (fire-fighters) lose jobs, grow your city, be part of something they’ve really been working hard on, preserving and making it better — why would you not want to be part of that?”

The NEWBA consists of 5.6 square miles with a population of 22,283 residents. An additional 5,000 residents could be annexed within the Potential Annexation Area (PAA) in unincor-porated King County. Bothell’s current popula-tion is 33,505, accord-ing to the 2010 federal census.

If passed by a simple majority of votes, the effective annexation date could be set sometime between Aug. 1, 2012 and Jan. 1, 2013 to allow time to ramp up services to accommodate the larger population.

‘Lamb enjoys respect from all corners of the community’

As a former mayor of Bothell, I remember how diffi cult it was at times to build consensus among members of City Council regarding issues that faced the community. Now as the days of increasing revenue fade in the rearview mirror, making scarce tax dol-lars stretch to benefi t the com-munity becomes imperative. It requires a steady, consensus-building City Council at Both-ell’s helm. Mark Lamb is such a person, a City Councilman who engages everyone as he moves toward solid decisions that benefi t the entire com-munity.

During good times, Mayor Mark Lamb built consensus among members of Bothell City Council to cut taxes and build a reserve. Th at enabled the city to move ahead with building projects while construction costs remain low. Contrast that with equivalent jurisdictions which have had to lay off police and fi refi ghters. Under Mark Lamb’s innovative and capable leadership that did not happen in Bothell. He protected your public safety.

However, when I compare Mark’s six years as mayor, one

who found solutions which benefi ted all of Bothell, I have to wonder why his opponent decided to switch from her safe seat on City Council to one opposing someone as capable and well thought of as Lamb.

Lamb enjoys respect from all corners of the community. All of Bothell’s police and fi re-fi ghter associations endorse him. Current and former local, state and federal offi ce holders, both Democratic and Republican, endorse him. Four current members of Bothell’s City Council endorse Lamb for re-election, and former Bothell mayors and past members of City Council do, as well. I am proud to be one of the former mayors who endorse the re-election of Lamb.

So the choice is easy: Mayor Lamb listens to Bothell’s citi-zens. He is best person for the job and has earned another term. If I still lived in Bothell I would vote to return Lamb to City Council. It’s your city. Vote Lamb for City Council.Michael Noblet, Clinton

Let’s make Kenmore Village happen now

I enjoyed reading Char Crawford’s comments (Oct. 7: Proud to be a Kenmore resident) and echo her ap-

preciation of all the exciting improvements and changes that Kenmore has undergone in the last 13 years. But, it is not enough and not fast enough. My husband and I moved to Kenmore 11 years ago aft er buying our home in the Kenmore Terrace neighborhood. We love it here and when we moved in, we were so excited about all the development plans that were communicated to us way back then — in 2000! But the fact that the Kenmore Village by the Lake has never material-ized is quite disappointing. I don’t really understand why our poor economy is used as the major excuse for this especially when there seems to be so much money to build a new City Hall, new library, street improvements, new fi re department but there is no money/investment available to build commercial/com-munity investments such as restaurants, shops and retail

outlets. Our economy can support this and this is the time to build. Interest rates are low, there are plenty of unem-ployed workers needing jobs, construction companies are hungry for business… what are we waiting for? Let’s make it happen now!

I couldn’t agree more with Char’s comment, “Just waiting for the day when Kenmore Village by the Lake becomes a hub of restaurants, shops and stores of all sizes — a true city center where we can eat, shop, meet friends and neighbors and welcome visitors.” I keep waiting for that day, too, and until then — I’ll keep going to Lake Forest Park Commons, Juanita Village Shopping Cen-ter or downtown Edmonds to spend my money. What a shame!Gail Hilderbrand, Kenmore

Thanks to Roland and Flo Lindstrom

Th e entire Northshore community, as well as artists throughout the Puget Sound area, owe a great deal of thanks to Arts of Kenmore President Roland Lindstrom for the vision and leadership he has given to the organiza-tion since its inception in 2000, and for the promotion of the Kenmore Art Show for the past 13 years. Roland recently announced to mem-bers that he is looking to new leadership for the Kenmore Art Show in the future as his presidency of the Arts of Kenmore concludes in June of 2012.

Th e Arts of Kenmore has

had a very positive infl uence in the community with the display of public art, gift s of art to the city of Kenmore for display at City Hall, grants to schools for art education, sponsorship of art/music shows at Kenmore Commu-nity Center, and above all, the annual Kenmore Arts Show.

Roland, along with able assistance from his wife, Flo, has been a cheerleader of art in the community, and the time and eff ort they have given to this endeavor cannot be fully measured. But we know it is appreciated, and art in Kenmore will be a legacy that the Lindstroms will carry proudly. Tom and Bobbi Traeger, Kenmore

Go GreenLawn-care tips

It’s a common sight across Kenmore—brown patches on lawns. Despite homeowners’ best attempts to keep lawns lush and green, the summer of 2010 was diffi cult even for sea-soned lawn care pros.

“While grass is a re-markable plant and can handle weather extremes with the best of them, sometimes the pressure is just too great,” says Ryan Leland, owner of Spring-Green Lawn Care in Kenmore.

In the Pacifi c Northwest, the majority of lawns are made up of cool-season grasses: Kentucky Blue-grass, Perennial Ryegrass and Fine Fescue. Th ese grasses grow best at temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees and with adequate moisture. When the daytime temperatures approach 85 degrees, cool season grasses begin to decline, making summer the most stressful time of the year.

Now that more moder-ate weather conditions are returning, lawns will begin to recover on their own. However, with a little work, damaged lawns can

mend more quickly. Here are some tips from

Leland on the best way to revive a damaged lawn:

Seed

where

Long Winter’s

Nap: Fall fertilization is critical to help a lawn recover from summer stresses.

Of Your lawn should enter win-ter without any young, tender growth that could make it more appealing to winter diseases, like snow mold.

Spring-Green Lawn Carewas founded in 1977,

Plainfi eld, Ill.

forum, Olsen may also or-ganize a young-government group.

“I found myself, since I live in Bothell, feeling the issues that are happening, like revitalizing down-town Bothell, restoring it but keeping it’s own little charm,” said Olsen, who also listed downtown build-ing height restrictions and getting Bothell Landing rolling (“it’s just sitting there, growing weeds”) as

two other top issues. One issue that “hit me

down deep” was securing additional funding for the Northshore Senior Center, where her mother works. She’s all for it, continuing to give the elderly population a top-notch place to gather.

Richards is impressed that her students have shown an interest in local government, both inside and outside of the class-room. She noted that Cas-cadia President Eric Murray

informed her of the forum and she and her students ran with it.

“I’m really passionate about young people being involved in politics. As we know, the 18-to-25-year-old age group has the lowest participation rate out of any age demographic, and yet, they’re probably some of the people most directly affected by what goes on,” said Richards, who was in-volved with a political-party organization in college and campaigned for her mother — who ran for a political office — as a youngster.

And Richards is just as interested as ever, espe-cially when singling out the Mayor Mark Lamb versus councilmember Tris Sam-berg race for Position No. 6 on this year’s ballot. She feels for two incumbents to be running against each other is “kind of unusual, so I think that will be some really great things for my students and I to talk about.”

As a women-in-politics scholar in college, Richards also focused her attention on Samberg being the only female on the six-person panel at the forum. She not-ed that Samberg and Lamb are both seasoned politi-cians, but because of gender stereotypes, Samberg has to walk a fine line of being a confident leader and not coming on too strong.

“I think that she walked that line very well, by say-ing, ‘This is what I believe, this is why I believe it,’” Richards said, “but doing it in a way that is very

leader-like without crossing that line, which is a really tough line to walk for a lot of women.”

When students Nyham-mer and Olsen eyed the candidates at the forum, they saw normal people putting themselves out there to try and make a dif-ference in their community. And they both feel they can do that job someday after getting a taste of Bothell politics.

“Local government has never clicked with me as something that is very im-portant, but I kind of realize now, you can actually have a lot of a say into that,” said Nyhammer, who noted that repairing roads and holding off on a new city hall would be his suggestion to councilmembers. “The

whole time I was in there, I was (thinking) I could totally see myself doing this someday, trying to repre-sent the city I’ve grown up in and loved all my life.”

Olsen hopes to cast her vote come Nov. 8, and then somewhere down the line, perhaps she’ll step onto a city council, she said with a smile.

“If I want things to be happening, you kind of have to have a voice out there — and I don’t mind being that voice.”

forum is airing at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. every day on BCTV Channel 21/26 and is available on the city’s homepage, www.ci.bothell.wa.us.

KING COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT NO. 16

There are five commissioners on the Northshore Fire District Board of

commissioners; I am running for

re-election for one of these positions.

My 24 years of dedicated service

demonstrates a strong

commitment to providing the community an exceptional level of service. I have also demonstrated

a commitment to maintaining appropriate fiscal constraints through

regional consolidations, outsourcing of numerous functions and maintaining

a lean administrative staff. I have been instrumental in providing our firefighters

with the very best facilities, apparatus, equipment and training that enables a

safe and effective delivery of emergency services.

While the Northshore Fire Department provides excellent service, it faces some challenges right

now, which I have a unique ability to address. I am

very interested in the success and

health of our fire department as a citizen within the fire district

and also as a fire service professional who works side-by-side with Northshore

firefighters.Property values have decreased as a

result of the decline in housing prices, and therefore, so have fire district revenues,

which come primarily from property tax revenues. In addition, Bothell is annexing portions of the fire district, decreasing our

revenues further.

“What’s Going On” with Tiger Budbill lately?

The 42-year-old Bothell resident not only sang the Marvin Gaye classic tune in front of The X Factor judges during his Los Angeles audition, but he rolled through some episodes on the popular TV show starring Simon Cowell. He was elimi-nated Tuesday night.

A $5 million Sony Mu-sic recording contract is up for grabs.

Here’s a few quotes from Budbill’s bootcamp video:

it’s a singing competi-tion, but to me, X Factor means you need to be able to carry yourself and

do something with that voice. You could (have) the most beautiful voice in the world, but if you’re just gonna stand there and not do anything with it — then why be up

there?”

The Bothell-Kenmore Reporter won five awards in the 2011 Washington Better Newspaper Contest.

The awards were pre-sented Oct. 7 at an awards dinner during the 124th annual Washington News-paper Publishers Association Convention at the Holiday Inn Downtown Everett.

The Reporter, circulation 21,000, competed against other newspapers in Group IV, the highest circulation category. The newspapers were judged on work pro-duced from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011. The contest drew 2,523 entries from 78 community newspapers; entries were judged by members of the Texas Press Association.

Editorial:Second place: Best Story

on the Arts – “Hey, Ken-more, it’s Hey Marseilles,” Andy Nystrom

Judge’s comment: “This story was so well-written and fun that I felt as if I was there swaying with the crowd.”

Second place: Color Fea-ture Photo (pictured above right) – “A heartwarming BHS graduation,” Andy Nystrom

Judge’s comment: “This

...healthy living

By RYAB HASKELL MPT

From the experience of becoming a new father this year, I couldn’t help but look into the reasons why pregnant women experience low back and SI pains. My

professor in therapy school referred to a hormone called skelaxin, which is released into the bloodstream of pregnant mothers. Skelaxin is what makes our ligaments go slack. Ligaments hold our bones together, and are

normally tight like a guitar string.

Considering ligaments are responsible for holding our pelvic bones together, it is helpful for them to be more slack for childbirth. What is helpful for childbirth can also cause aches and pains for the mother-to-be. Preg-nant mothers commonly have displacement in their SI joints due to loose ligaments. This will manifest as low back pain and pelvic pain clinically.

How do we minimize the aches and pains of pregnan-cy? My wife found a pool

exercise program helped to manage her symptoms, and had a relatively pain-free pregnancy. Furthermore,

a massage to bring relief to the tight muscles of the low back and SI region is helpful along with strengthening of the core and pelvic support muscles. Common methods for core strengthening can be done through aquatic therapy or shown to you by your therapist or trainer. Northshore physical therapy is beginning a women’s health program this month, run by Zhenia Umbers, MA PT to address such concerns. Please call Zhenia at (425) 487-3142 to answer any ques-tions on our program.

Common aches and pains with pregnancy Dentists Are First Line of Defense in Diagnosing Diabetes

Thankfully, many of us have dental insurance al-lowing us to visit the dentist twice a year. Most of us take advantage of this oppor-tunity because it’s paid for by our employers. We go because we want our smiles bright and white. We go for the free toothbrush.

But now, we’re learn-ing there’s a much more important reason to visit the dentist regularly: our overall medical health. Your mouth, teeth and gums are connected to your general well being in ways that you may not be aware. Dentists are increasingly becom-ing the first line of defense for many systemic dis-eases including, respiratory diseases, heart disease and diabetes.

Over the past decade, Washington Dental Service and the Group Health Research Institute, both Seattle-based organizations, have teamed up to sponsor innovative research regard-ing the links between diabe-tes and periodontal disease. These studies, many of them conducted by the University of Washington, have proven that the two diseases have a symbiotic relationship and neither can be solved without address-ing the other.

One of the most signifi-cant discoveries has been the link between dental care and diabetes and with the number of Type 2 diabetes cases reaching epidemic proportion, dental health has to take an even greater part of our overall health.

The 21 million diabet-ics in the United States, along with the 57 million labeled “pre-diabetic,” face numerous long-term health consequences, including a greater risk of cardiovas-cular disease, chronic renal failure and retinal disease.

Not only are people with diabetes more susceptible to these diseases, but dia-betes is a major risk factor for gum disease, which can affect blood glucose levels making it more difficult to control diabetes. In fact, a

...healthy livingrecent 2010 National Health and Nutrition Examina-tion Survey concluded that periodontal disease led to poor glycemic control, thus increasing the chance of diabetes.

Warning signs for periodontal or gum disease include bleeding, swol-len or tender gums, loose permanent teeth, receding gums and changes in the way your teeth or partial dentures fi t.

Th ankfully, shared studies like the ones the Washington Dental Service and Group Health Research Institute are conducting have begun to push dentists and physicians to collabo-rate more on diagnosing and treating periodontal disease and diabetes. In 2007, a conference on dia-betes and dental care, many of the papers delivered at the conference advocated for greater cooperation between physicians and dentists and concluded that improved collaboration between medical and dental would not only positively aff ect patient care, but also

provide employers with reduced healthcare costs while still providing their employees with increased wellness. Th e ability to diagnose diabetes or gum disease early will save more invasive and expensive treatments later.

What should you do? For starters, be proactive and keep brushing and fl oss-ing. Schedule, and keep, your twice-yearly visits to the dentist and make your

dentist and hygienist a critical component of your medical team. Th e more we keep the mouth and body connected, the better off all of us will be and we can hopefully slow the rate of new diabetes cases.

Bothell headlines the news lately with its award-winning designs for a revitalized downtown — an accom-plishment most boast-wor-thy. Not only will Bothell’s new appearance sparkle, but the city’s cultural life will also shine brighter with the addi-tion of a new neighbor.

Welcome to Bothell, Lenore Vardi, a renowned violinist who has performed at landmark New York City venues, played in chamber groups in Canada and Lon-don, recorded with Placido Domingo, jazz greats Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughn and Tony Bennett and world-famous violinist, Itzhak Perl-man. Lenore is also known for creating chamber music festivals. She remembers sailing up New York’s Hud-son River to the Westchester Chamber Music Festival that she founded.

“I played a Bach cello suite on the violin on the boat ride up the Hudson,” she said, adding, “I closed

my eyes and I’d get seasick, then opened them to see the waves, which was discon-certing.”

Despite seasickness, or any butterflies experienced prior to her solo debut at New York’s Merkin Hall in 1982, The New York Post hailed Lenore as “A violin-ist of amazing elegance and musicianship ... a natural performer.”

Coached by her late husband, viola virtuoso Emanuel Vardi, Lenore also became a viola soloist throughout Europe, Canada

and the United States. Le-nore’s artistry also includes painting, as well. You can see her abstract renditions of musicians and musical instruments in Revolution Gallery in Gilman Village, Issaquah; For Art Sake in Gig Harbor and The Laurel Tree Gallery in Duvall.

Lucky for us, Lenore has brought her many talents, musicianship and teaching expertise to Bothell.

Three years ago, King 5 TV ran a story on the Vardis. Watching the news that day, was Leslie Moffat, band di-rector at Mill Creek’s Jackson High School, who quickly invited the musical duo to speak to her students who were headed for Carnegie Hall, a venue well known to the Vardis. Lenore learned during that experience, that there are many students in the Bothell and Everett area interested in playing violin and viola.

Lenore loves the central location of Bothell with easy access to Kirkland, Bellevue and Edmonds. She’s also taken with Bothell’s cozy downtown area, convenient shopping and her newly found apartment, which she describes as “near a salmon stream with beautiful views

of incredible trees out every window.”

Lenore recognizes that students want to travel as little as possible, due to hectic schedules. The Bothell location provides that conve-nience for them.

She treats her violin students to a varied musical repertoire where they learn a composer’s background, musical style and history. Lenore enthusiastically creates an environment for the student, immersed not only in musical knowledge and technique, but also in the physical, mental and psychological aspects of performing. She encourages each student’s full musical artistic expression, instill-ing confidence and a sense of accomplishment in each individual.

Lenore Vardi teaches violin and viola to all ages — from the beginner to the expert. She teaches from her home studio here in Bothell and also at the Duvall Per-forming Arts in Duvall. We can also expect to see and hear her as I know she has a few ideas up her sleeve.

“I’m thinking of doing a holiday Baroque concert with violin and harpsichord; I also want to play chamber music, which is my love,” she says.

Lenore feels fortunate to have studied under the finest

teachers in the world and says, “My husband, Manny, was, in my estimation the finest of the fine.”

The legacy of world-re-nown violist, Emanuel Vardi, lives on in Lenore’s teach-ings, which she graciously now shares with our North-

shore music students.Lenore’s move to Bothell

adds to the prize awards already bestowed on our fair city and is definitely music to our ears.

EHigh-flying Eagles seek state hardwareCedar Park Christian volleyball team, ranked No. 8 in 1A, is loaded with talent and experienceBY TIM WATANABE

[email protected]

For first-year Cedar Park Christian volleyball head coach Marni Dreschel, it was quite an inheritance.

After being in the varsity program for four years assisting under Julie Nelson, who took the Eagles to the 1A state tournament six consecutive years, Dreschel took over a group that included six seniors, each of whom played a big role in the team’s third-place finish last November at the Yakima SunDome.

This year’s Eagles are of a very similar mold compared to years past, loaded with offense and team chemistry.

“They just bring a lot of ma-turity,” Dreschel said about her team’s strong senior core. “The cool thing about this particular group is that they’re close friends, they are girls that want to be with each other, and they’ve grown together as far as being players to teammates. They are showing the younger girls what it means to be a team instead of just a bunch of players on the court.”

The upperclassmen – Mattie Shelford, Ari Gardner, Lyndsay Palmer, Kayla Zacharias, Amy Merkle and Jessica “J.J.” Abbott – have all been playing volleyball together since their preteen years and are looking to end their senior campaigns with a bang.

“The fact that we’ve been to-gether since sixth grade,” said Ab-bott on what has made the Eagles so successful this season. “We’ve all grown up through the program and been a team. That’s probably helped us the most.”

OFFENSIVE OUTPUTThe success of a volleyball team

generally relies foremost on the strength of its hitters, and Cedar Park is as deep as they come in that regard.

At the forefront is Shelford, a 6-foot senior, who will go on to play at Azusa Pacific University next year.

Coming back from an injury that took her out of action for about three weeks, Shelford last Thursday tied a season-high with 14 kills in a win against Emerald City League rival Overlake, the third time she has reached that mark this season.

While Shelford was out, Gardner and Ab-

bott, the team’s middle hitters, car-ried the team on offense, allowing the squad’s versatility to shine.

“We’re able to do a lot of dif-ferent offenses because these girls aren’t just volleyball players, they’re athletes,” Dreschel said. “They can move around real well.”

In addition, Zacharias has been a key part of the Eagles’ defense, notching a season-high 19 digs against Redmond earlier this month, and Palmer, one of the team’s catalysts on offense who is always a threat for double-digit kills in a match, is equally impres-

sive as a setter. But she hasn’t had to do much setting this year with junior Katarina Estrada on the team, who has averaged better than 23 assists in matches that she has played in this year.

Dreschel stressed that although her girls may be talented on the court, they are very well-rounded individuals and high achievers in school, and in the community.

“The lowest GPA out of that particular group is a 3.6.,” noted Dreschel, who played collegiate volleyball at Pacific Lutheran

The Inglemoor High boys and girls topped Bothell

and Woodinville last week at the annual Northshore

School District cross-country championships, held at Big

Finn Hill Park. In the boys 5,000-meter varsity race,

Bothell’s Nathan Conrad paced the field and won in 16

minutes, 53 seconds, followed by a trio of Vikings: Michael

Mendenhall (17:18), Chris Wilson (17:19) and David

Hamilton (17:34). The boys varsity team finished with a

low of 25 team points to win the meet over Bothell, which

finished with 30 points.On the girls’ side, Inglemoor’s

Kyra Burke (20:14) placed second. For the Vikings, Sarah Nash (21:53) also cracked the

top six, and Bothell was led by Stephanie Spencer, who

finished fourth in 21:24.The 4A Kingco Championship

meet was held Thursday at Lincoln Park in West Seattle

after the Reporter’s deadline, with the Bi-District meet

University. “We’ve got a couple 4.0 students, they like to sing – not necessar-ily in the choir, but they’re constantly singing, and Kayla Zacharias is very ac-tive in her church as a wor-ship leader and does some other volunteer stuff. J.J. Abbott runs track, as well, and does the shot put.”

SEVENTH HEAVENWith the Emerald City

League and Tri-District playoffs coming up, the Eagles (10-0 in league play, 12-1 overall) seem a shoo-in to make their seventh consecutive trip to the 1A state tournament. But once they get there, the road to the title will be anything but easy, as the girls well

know from past experi-ence.

“It’ll take a lot of focus, at the tournament, to finish as well as we will,” Zacharias said. “We’ll have to be mentally tough.”

Added Shelford, “We got third last year, so we’re hoping to take out King’s and Chelan, and take first.”

This year, the Eagles

have played a tough nonleague schedule, which included 4A teams Redmond and Garfield, with the Bulldogs hand-ing the Eagles their only loss of the season – a 3-1 defeat at the beginning of September.

Since then, the red-hot Eagles have reeled off 11 straight wins, and just last weekend, the team traveled to the Monroe Bearcat Classic to take on quality competition. At the tournament, the girls beat Redmond for the second time, along with Shore-wood, Archbishop Murphy and South Kitsap en route to a third-place tourna-ment finish.

It seemed to be the per-fect late-season tune-up for a state title run.

“The championship is always your goal, espe-cially when you’re used to going,” admitted Dreschel. “Coach Nelson took this team to state the last (six) years, so we have that expectation and we want to get some hardware.”

The Eagles wrap up their regular season next Tues-day night against Annie Wright at home, starting at 6 p.m., with the Emerald City League playoffs get-ting under way on Oct. 27.

Playing in a 4A Kingco Crown Division matchup at Memorial Stadium in Seattle, the Bothell Cougars ran all over Garfield, scor-ing six rushing touchdowns to win 42-0.

Danny Wilson and Kizhan Proctor scored on runs of 19 and 23 yards, respectively, in the first quarter, before extend-ing the lead on scores by Reshon Watson (1 yard) and Brad Joyner (25 yards) before halftime.

The second half was highlighted by a pair of long touchdown runs by Conner Lobe, who galloped 56 yards for his score, and Joyner again, who ran in a 50-yarder to cap the Cou-gars’ scoring.

In total, the Cougars outgained the Bulldogs on the ground 301 yards to 45 on 26 plays, with Joyner (88 yards, two TDs) leading all rushers.

With they win, Bothell improved to 3-1 in Crown Division play and 4-3 overall. They will take on Ballard (1-3, 3-4) tonight at Pop Keeney, kickoff at 7 p.m.

FALCONS SEAL CROWN DIVISION WITH WIN OVER VIKINGS

The Inglemoor Vikings (2-2, 4-3) were fighting to keep their hopes alive for the 4A Kingco Crown Divi-sion title, but undefeated Woodinville’s running backs found the end zone five times in a 38-14 Viking loss.

After Falcon running back Alec Schwend ran in a 59-yard touchdown to open up the scoring in the first quarter, Viking quarter-back Hans Fortune found receiver Quinn Edlin for a 6-yard pass to tie up the score.

The second and third quarters were all Woodin-ville, however, as Schwend scored twice more, includ-ing a mammoth 64-yard run, quarterback Brett Ar-rivey ran in a 4-yarder on top of a Falcon field goal.

Fortune again hit Edlin for a touchdown, this time from 15 yards, late in the third quarter.

Woodinville gained 281 yards rushing to Ing-lemoor’s 60 for the contest, which dropped the Vikings’ record to 2-2 in conference

play and 4-3 overall.The Vikings take on Gar-

field (0-4, 1-6) tonight at Memorial Stadium, kickoff at 8 p.m.

CEDAR PARK NIPS ORTING ON THE ROAD IN THRILLER

Playing in a Friday night Nisqually 1A conference battle in Orting, the Cedar Park Christian Eagles came from behind in the fourth quarter to nip the Cardinals 16-14.

After Orting got on the board, quarterback Josh Ionesi launched a 76-yard bomb into the hands of receiver Andrew Rickman to tie the score in the first quarter, and facing a 14-7 fourth-quarter deficit, Connor Johnson ran in an eight-yard touchdown but were unable to score the game-tying extra point.

Kicker Michael Hol-mquist made amends for the error, kicking the game-winning field goal from 30 yards out, sending the Eagles to 4-2 in their conference and 6-2 overall.

They play Chimacum (1-4, 1-6) at home tonight, at 7 p.m.

Hublou, who missed the cut to state by one shot last year, fired one of the best rounds of the second day at the difficult Eagle’s Talon course at Willows Run Golf Club in Red-mond, a 2-over 74 to give him a 76-74–150 total, good for a tie for second place with Redmond’s Lyle Rudnicki.

Woodinville’s Kyle Lin-dor won the tournament, shooting 73 both days to finish at 2-over 146.

“It was a lot easier than yesterday, nicer weather,” said Hublou on Wednes-day’s conditions compared to the wet and windy Tuesday. “It was easier to score.”

With teammates Gavin Blair and Alec Hayton out-side the cut line, Hublou

was fighting hard to be the Vikings’ lone representa-tive to state. Teeing off at 8 a.m. with all the other competitors in a shot-gun start, he got off to a horrible start, suffering a bogey and double bogey on the first two holes.

But remembering the heartbreak of last fall at Snohomish Golf Course, he dug deep and turned

his game around.“I went 1-under for the

next 16 (holes),” Hublou said, making two birdies and just one bogey the rest of the way, including firing a wedge approach on the par-5 18th hole that nearly spun in the hole. “Overall, it was a great day... (after) missing state by one shot last year, it feels great. I’m pretty happy.”

BHS coach Kerwin inducted into Hall of FameVeteran Bothell

High School (BHS) volleyball coach Russ Kerwin was inducted into the BHS Hall of Fame on Thursday for his outstanding record and dedication to the Cougar Athlet-ics program.

Kerwin, who has been a Northshore School Dis-trict teacher since 1972, was the head coach of the Cougars’ volleyball pro-gram from 1990-2005.

During his tenure at Bothell, he took seven BHS teams to the state tournament, with a high finish of eighth place (twice). Kerwin held a career win-loss record of 257-72 (.781), which in-cluded four years of unde-feated teams and a streak of 56 winning matches in 4A Kingco league play.

He was also voted Coach of the Year seven times along with winning seven Kingco Champion-ships and five District championships.

The induction was held at 4:30 p.m. in the foyer of the gym before Both-ell High School’s Senior Night volleyball match

on Thursday, and Kerwin will also be honored dur-ing the pre-game show tonight at Pop Keeney Sta-dium, the Cou-gars’ homecoming

football game.“Russ was a phenom-

enal volleyball coach,” said Bothell High athletic director Yonni Mills. “The ‘Kerwin years’ were a shining star in Bothell’s sports history.”
