� e members of the Owen family who sur-vived a tree fall incident in December 2012 will receive $10 million from the state of Washington.

Tim and Cheryl Owen of Bothell were killed in the crash and the Owen’s three kids Jaime, Jeremy and Jessica survived the incident, but they still deal with medical issues today. Jessie Owen is paralyzed and Jaime Mayer walks with a cane. Jeremy Owen had only minor injuries. Steven Mayer, the Owen’s son in law, was also in the car. He now uses a forearm arm crutch every single day. � eir medical bills have been in the millions.

� e family was headed

to Leavenworth when the tree hit their truck. � e family believes that unusual weather in the area should have closed the road. � at day there were freez-ing temperatures and an unusually heavy amount of snowfall on the trees.

� e family’s attorney said that just three days prior Chelan County issued a Declaration of Emergency as they were taking extra precautions to ensure pub-lic safety. It was at 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 21, 2012 when a 125-foot-tall tree fell on the family.

“� ey were driving through a potential war zone and had no idea that a bomb was going to fall,” said Karen Koehler, at-torney.

Kenmore business owner of 84 years leaves behind a growing legacyBY SARAH KEHOE

[email protected]

When Bill Munro thinks of his father Gerald “Jerry” Munro, he sees him kneel-ing near a � ower bed with a huge smile on his face.

Jerry passed away at 98

years old on July 10 a� er spending the morning do-ing what he loved, working at his nursery. Jerry opened Munro’s Nursery in Ken-more around 1927, where he sold plants and � owers.

“His main interests were

plants and people,” Bill said. “He was the chief. He had plenty of things for idle hands to do.”

Jerry was born in 1916 on Christmas Eve in Bis-marck, North Dakota. His family moved to Queen

Anne Hill in Seattle around 1927.

Jerry graduated from Queen Anne High where he participated in football, wrestling and ice hockey. He majored in horticulture-agronomy with a minor in

landscaping at Washington State College where he met his future wife, Jean Kathryn Jespersen. While there, he a� liated with Delta Upsilon and was a champion wrestler.

He graduated from the

University of Washington, where he followed up with graduate-level studies in cytology and cell structure at Washington State Univer-sity and always considered himself a life-long Cougar.

Parks and public spaces levy discussed at Bothell Chamber luncheonBY SARAH KEHOE

[email protected]

Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe pro-vided attendees of the

Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce luncheon with in-

formation on the upcoming parks and public spaces levy, coming to the Nov. 4 ballot. A panel of three Bothell resi-dents, Roger Cecil, Jim Freese and Manny Ocampo, who worked to get the measure on the ballot, also gave their

opinions on why the levy is important and why voters should approve the measure.

� e levy will fund devel-opment of two major city parks, anchoring both the north and south ends of the city with recreational and

public space for community events. � e � rst develop-ment is to expand the Park at Bothell Landing by providing opportunities for residents, employees and visitors to relax and enjoy the commu-nity’s riverfront including a

new bridge to Sammamish River Trail and gathering plaza for community events. � e park will also tie seam-lessly into the overall fabric of downtown, allowing park us-ers to easily access downtown amenities such as restaurants,

services and shops. Another major city park will be North Bothell Park. Acquisition of a large property in north Bothell and development of a major new park including a new skate park, o� -leash

Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe addresses a crowd of residents and dignitaries who attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Bothell City Hall in downtown, while Bothell Mayor Joshua Freed looks on. The event was 10 years in the making for the new City Hall building and even drew Congresswoman Suzan DelBene. The new building will cost an estimated $53 million.

He served as quality supervisor at Boeing during WWII before starting his nurseries in Kenmore and Kirkland.

“My dad was known in the community as a designer and pioneering nursery-

man,” Bill said. “He � rst started raising and selling plants on Queen Anne be-fore he moved to Kenmore.”

Jerry also sold plants from his home nursery. In 2007, he was targeted and robbed, but fought back.

“It was two women and a

man that came to buy � ow-ers from him at his home,” Bill recalled. “� e man paid my dad with a $20 bill and when my dad reached for his wallet to give him change, the man assaulted him, try-ing to take his wallet and cell phone.”

Jerry put the man in a headlock and yanked him two the ground, where the two reportedly wrestled. � e thief made o� with the then 90-year-old Jerry’s wallet, cell phone and keys. � e stollen wallet contained credit and ATM cards, sev-eral pieces of identi� cation, around $300 in cash and $2,000 in checks written for prior purchases.

Jerry managed to recover $1,380 from the stolen checks. Everett police apprehended the suspects, who were wanted felons, a few months later, according to an article written by the Reporter in August 2007.

“My dad said his response to the robbery to � ght back was simply a re� ex,” Bill said. “But he was a strong guy.”

Bill said Jerry was an in-spiration to all who met him. His plants and landscapes live on in countless homes around Puget Sound.

Gerald “Jerry” Munro passed away at 98 years old on July 10 after spending the morning doing what he loved, working at his nursery. CONTRIBUTED, Bill Munro

Transportation accepted partial responsibility for the deaths in the incident, but the family praised the state for how they dealt with the claim. The DOT released a statement on Sept. 5.

“This was a tragic and serious incident for the members of the Owen fam-ily and our thoughts re-main with them,” the DOT said in a public statement. “The state has entered into a negotiated settlement with the Owen family. The settlement will be funded from the state’s self-insured liability account.”

Koehler acknowledged that in the Northwest trees

could fall on the roadway at any point, but on the day of the incident she believes this crash could have been prevented had the state taken appropriate ac-tion when it came to the closure of the road.

State Patrol spokesman Bob Calkins said Friday in a statement that in the Owen crash case, the state believed it had a solid argument for not being held liable. But he said because juries can be unpredictable, the state de-cided to protect itself from paying even more than $10 million by settling with the survivors.

The family in the second Highway 2 crash has not filed claims against the state.

State Patrol and WSDOT declined to comment

on whether any policies or staffing have changed in response to the ac-cidents.“We appreciate the

collaborative manner in which they worked to resolve this case,” Calkins said of the survivors. “We’ve gotten to know the Owen family during the mediation and have the greatest respect for how they’ve handled this tragedy.”

Jessica, Steven and Jaime

all spent at least half a year in either hospitals or nurs-ing homes as they under-went a series of surgeries intended to rebuild and strengthen shattered bones and joints. Jessica and Steven likely have sev-eral more surgeries ahead, Koehler said.

All three are adjusting to new lifestyles. Steven is working at Microsoft again. Jaime has returned to law school at Seattle Univer-

sity. Jeremy is beginning his senior year at Eastern Washington University.

Jessica, who once or-ganized her own running group, is living with a friend in Seattle and con-tinuing a rigorous physical therapy schedule. Despite doctors telling her at first that she would never walk again, she’s trained herself to walk with forearm crutches for short periods. She still mostly uses a mo-

torized wheelchair decked out in her favorite color, hot pink, and Washington State University Cougar flags.

All four said the settle-ment allows them to move on with their lives so they can dwell on the accident as little as possible from now on.

“It’s not better. It’s not worse,” Jessica said. “But it’s nice to have some finality and closure now.”

The metamorphosis of downtown Bothell has been nothing short of amazing to watch. � e centerpiece of that redevelop-

ment for many residents will be the new McMe-namins and, across the street, the new Bothell City Hall.

� e groundbreaking for the new City Hall was a landmark event and one more than a decade in the making. � e new building is not cheap, coming in at an estimated and staggering $53 million. � e price tag was a very controversial part of the process and one that is still questioned. But it is an addition that the city had to have. � e old City Hall building is beyond outdated, and falling apart.

� e enormity of redeveloping the entire down-town, while disruptive, has been done with preci-sion. City Manager Bob Stowe, city sta� and the Bothell City Council have done a nice job of pushing the projects forward. Have there been controversial aspects? Yes. How could there not be with how many projects the city has taken on dur-ing such a short time frame? But remak-ing an entire city center, all at the same time, is remarkable. One drive down SR-522 through Bothell can feel like reconstruction a war-torn area in another country. Sometimes the thought of “are they going to run out of cement or rebar” passes through my mind.

� e realignment of 522 was the catalyst for the transformation and the result has been a much more enjoyable ride than expected - literally and

� guratively.Many city governments have a tough time get-ting roads repaired, redeveloping single pieces

of land or just luring new construction and business. But Bothell has done all of that, and then some, all at the same time.

And while the transformation of downtown Bothell will be complete within a few short years, it is not done. It is also not fully funded yet. � e addi-tion of the parks levy to the November ballot will not only upgrade many of the public places Bothell residents enjoy

on a daily basis, it is important to remember that it is the � nal piece of funding for the downtown projects. It will complete the multi-way boulevard on Northeast Bothell Way and the Park at Bothell Landing.

Residents don’t always get taxing measures

proposed where they will see a tangible result. With this one, residents will be able to touch every project for which their money will pay. And this also goes for residents in Snohomish County. Many times during this and other redevelopment processes in Bothell the north end of the city gets le� out. But this measure has parks projects in the north as well as the south.

Do I worry about the debt from all of these projects? Everyone worries about debt. But creating a place for more businesses creates tax revenue to pay o� that debt. All of these projects will be completed within the next few years and residents will see the � nal result on a scale I have never seen at one time in any city - for better or worse.

Kenmroe City Council shuns duty to care law

With three pedestrian fatalities during a � ve-month period, the Kenmore City Council has been forced to face what they have been quietly ignoring since we became a city 16 years ago: our roads are highly dangerous and fail to meet legal state safety standards. � e council’s high density zoning only exacerbates the problem for decades to come.

When it comes to a � nancial solution however, the council steadfastly refuses to face two realities. First, road safety taxes are paid annually: Since 1998 the city has actually collected more than $75 million in “road taxes” from us. At current rates they will collect more than $90 million more during the next 16 years. Yet the council is trying to convince the public that none of these taxes are available for road safety.

Second, the council has a legal obligation to spend a “reasonable” amount of our annual road taxes on safety improvements: Under Tortious Conduct laws the council owes tax-payers a “duty to care” and they must exercise that duty in “good faith.”

Nothing says that “I don’t care” like the council’s position that “none” of the taxes we pay every year are for road safety improve-ments. � e council has only three core operat-ing responsibilities: roads, police and land-use

regulations, and they want us to believe that none of that money is available for life saving capital improvements?

Nothing demonstrates “bad faith” as the council’s omission of material facts in a state-ment read into the record on February 14, 2011 when they attempted to mislead the public into believing that our original policy of imposing property and utility taxes “were not” for road maintenance and safety im-provements.

If they cared about the loss of life and the future loss of life on our sub-stan-

dard streets they would stop using semantic word games and be straight-forward about the fact that Kenmore residents have always responsibly paid

road taxes every year. If they cared, they would perform a risk management assess-

ment and set aside a reasonable amount of those taxes every year for long-term safety improvements.

If they cared, they would admit to using our road tax surplus dollars to build a bureau-cracy that is three times larger than what was objectively determined to be a� ordable at incorporation.

� e council has been using our road taxes as an operating slush-fund for so long that they can’t face these realities.

Talk is cheap and apparently so are the lives of Kenmore’s pedestrians. Follow the money and you will see the extent to which the coun-

cil accepts their responsibility under the “duty to care” laws.John Hendrickson, Kenmore

Kenmore roads are already bad without restarting seminary building

Mayor Baker of the city of Kenmore in pursuit of a 4 percent tax to bene� t the city and is encouraging Bastyr University and Daniel Real Estate to redevelop the failing and obsolete 90,000 square foot seminary building into college classrooms and living quarters. In e� ect, the park grounds would become a college campus. To anyone familiar with the area, it is common knowledge the roads are overburdened with tra� c in the a� ernoons. North-bound cars regularly back two miles up Juanita Way to the park entrance and beyond.

� is proposal will add thousands of auto-mobile trips each week. � e roads will be fur-ther strangled and the quality of life for those using the roads degraded. It would be a griev-ous error to just restart the school, because it was a school before and give the developers a pass on tra� c. � is project should not be grandfathered and exempted from strict tra� c mitigation. For all practical purposes this is a problem without a good solution.Peter Lance, Kenmore

Dick Ramsey pur-chased Ostroms Drug & Gift from

Harry Ostrom in 1964 because he thought it would be a great investment, but it is an entirely different rea-son that makes him never want to retire.

“I love the people,” he said, smiling. “I’ve been blessed to see families grow and kids turn into adults. I feel fortunate to have grown with this community.”

Ramsey is proud to have kept Ostroms Drug & Gift in the family. His son Todd Ramsey purchased the store in 1998.

“I debated whether or not I wanted to take over for awhile, but then the answer was clear,” Todd said. “I have grown up in this store. We have so many faithful customers, some that have been coming here for as long as we’ve been open.”

Todd and Dick plan to celebrate the 50th anniver-sary of their store by having a contest. They will hide a copy of their 1964 Get Ac-

quainted advertisement in a historic Kenmore location once a week for 10 weeks. Participating customers will receive clues via email Facebook and Twitter. The first customer to retrieve and return the 1964 ad will receive a $100 Ostroms Gift Certificate.

“We thought this would be a fun way to celebrate where we came from and how we have evolved,” Todd said.

Dick said many things have changed since he bought the store 50 years ago.

“When I bought the store from Harry Ostrom, my first move was to put more ashtrays in the store to better serve our customers who smoked while they shopped,” he recalled.

Ostroms has sold a quirky array of products through years of evolving customer tastes, including sheet music, sewing pat-terns, 10-speed bikes, televi-sion tubes, baseball bats and mitts, paper dresses and Helene Curtis wigs. In the 1960s, Ostroms employed

a licensed cosmetician and sold more cosmetics than prescriptions. Cigarettes were drugstore staples, however, Ostroms stopped selling tobacco in 1987, after Dick’s close friend contracted lung cancer.

“I’ve always tried to talk to my customers and see what they wanted,” Dick said. “After all, the customer is the boss.”

The Ramsey family considers their employ-

ees’ needs too, which they contribute to one of the reasons Ostroms has eight team members who

have been with the retailer for 13 years

or more. B-Z Davis started working as a sales clerk while a student at Bothell High School and has stayed 40 years and Bill Briggs started 35 years ago and is now head pharmacist and store manager.

“I have loved working here, the Ramseys are like family to me,” Davis said. “I believe Ostroms is a huge asset to the community because everyone here cares about the customers. Our

pharmacists know not only the health records of our customers, but they know them personally. I think our community trusts us.”

Ostroms relocated from the Kenmore Village area to Bothell Way in 2009 when the city of Kenmore bought Kenmore Village.

“We didn’t foresee a fea-sible location for Ostroms, so moving to Bothell Way seemed the best decision for us,” Todd said. “Our cus-tomers and team members seem to love the new loca-tion and I think we made the right choice.”

Ostroms added new features to their store when they moved in, including a pharmacy that is just steps from the front door, a drive through pharmacy window and a private counseling room in which to discuss their medicine with the pharmacist.

“I’m grateful I can step back and see the fruits of my labor,” Dick said. “It was such hard work when I first bought the place 50 years ago, I barely saw my family for the first few years. But it was all worth it.”

Family business ostroms celebrates 50 yearsads for I-594 are misleading the public

The ads for I-594 are, very obviously and expected, lopsided. I don’t especially mind it as that is part of the democratic process, but it does do a disservice to the voting public who need to know both sides to make an intelligent choice. For instance they don’t point out that if you go to the gun range with a friend and are shooting in a safe controlled environment it would be illegal for you to lend your pistol to your friend to try out. The criminal misuse of pistols is one thing, but that is not rational.

Even the Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs (WACOPS) recognize that the gun control measure [I-594] is not only excessive, it poses a burden on local agencies whose budgets are already stretched thin. Over-looked or ignored in the arguments for I-594 are while homicides amount to approximately 11,000 per year, it was found in a national survey con-ducted by Gary Kleck, a Florida State University criminologist, there are approximately two mil-lion defensive gun uses per year by law-abiding citizens. That includes 598,000 lives saved per year due to self-defen-sive use of guns.

Referring to the sup-posed loophole in gun sales , there is no “gun-show loophole.” Cur-rent law states that any

person engaged in the business of selling fire-arms must register with the federal government, must obtain a federal firearms license, and must submit all pro-spective gun buyers to an FBI or state agency background check. This requirement applies at gun shows and all other locations, all of the time. Gun shows here in the Puget Sound are run by Washington Arms Collectors only allow sales at their shows to those legally allowed to own firearms.

The Bureau of Al-cohol, Tobacco and Firearms reports that 93 percent of guns used in crimes are obtained illegally – either stolen or sold in the black market. So adding more laws to the laws which gun shows and gun dealers already follow, will not keep the bad guys from getting guns. Again…bad guys don’t follow laws.

Any rational approach to a problem would at-tack the worst ones first and work down to the lesser ones. How about more effort to reduce drug abuse which ac-counts for twice as many deaths as guns, or from alcohol use which kills nine times as many, and how about the 170,000 killed due to doctor errors. Annually 646 people are killed with fists and 496 with hammers and clubs. These are just more in-dications that the object is not the problem it is the mental attitude and that is where our efforts should be directed.

Second workshop on town Green

The city of Kenmore will host the second of three community workshops on the public square project or “Town Green” that will be incorporated into a new development in downtown Kenmore.

The workshop will take

place from 7-8:30 p.m. on Sept. 24 at Kenmore City Hall.

City staff will present two conceptual plans that reflect feedback received from the first community work-shop earlier this summer. A 30-minute presentation describing the conceptual plans will kick off the event followed by an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback on the presentation.

The Town Green will be located at the northwest cor-ner of Northeast 181st Street and 68th Avenue Northeast,

across from Kenmore City Hall.

For more information or to keep up on news on this proj-ect, request to be added to the city of Kenmore distribution list at [email protected] or visit www.kenmorewa.gov/downtown.

A home built in the 1920’s on was moved from its property on

West Riverside Drive, next to Chateau Retirement Com-munities, to a single fam-ily lot just 600 feet north of where it is currently located.

“Preserving this house is of paramount importance to us” says Jim Godfrey, founder and CEO of Chateau Retirement Communities.

� e almost 2,200 foot house has been li� ed from its foundation and moved over a temporary road to make room for a 76 unit multi-family building being added to the Chateau at Bothell Landing campus. � e house has remained unoccupied since 2005 when Godfrey � rst acquired it with the land just east of the current senior living campus.

“It’s a residential home and the integrity of what the original owners did still shows,” said Joe Carlson, vice president of construction at Chateau Bothell Landing. “� ese historic homes add a lot to the community and we are glad to have it still located near our facility.”

Many residents of the retirement home came to watch as the Sorenson House was placed on it’s new property.

“I am so glad it’s being preserved because it is really great to see a part of Bothell’s history,” said Beverly Hawes. “� e inside of the home is

just beautiful, there is stun-ning beamwork, beautiful bookcases and many of the windows are leaded glass with insets of color.”

On March 8, 1995, the National Park Service certi-� ed the Sorenson House as a national historic site.

“We’re excited to move this beautifully cra� ed home to a lot where a family can enjoy it,” said Michael Schaedig, Chateau’s chief operating o� cer.

� e “Sorenson House” was built in 1922 by Mr. James Sorenson on a gi� of land from his father-in-law, Alfred Pearson, a logger and contemporary of David

Bothell, the founder of the city. James Sorenson ran a woodworking, cabinet-mak-ing and contracting business and became a well-respected builder of many Cra� sman style homes in Bothell.

“� is is an important piece

of Bothell’s history that we want to honor,” Schaedig said.

It is estimated that 15 mil-lion Americans have food allergies and roughly

3 million Americans have Celiac disease.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat products includ-ing: wheat, spelt, rye and barley. Gluten acts as a

binding agent, like glue, that helps foods maintain their shape. Individuals who are diagnosed with Celiac disease have an autoimmune response when they consume gluten. � is autoimmune response leads to intestinal damage.

It is estimated that there may be over 300 di� erent symptoms associated with Celiac disease. However, the most commonly seen with celiac disease include: diar-rhea, constipation, heart-burn, joint pain, fatigue and eczema. Some people with Celiac may actually have no symptoms.

Why is gluten thought to be such a problem?

� ere is much hype nowadays about gluten, and people who elect to go gluten-free o� en “feel better” without having any test to con� rm they actu-ally have an allergy to gluten or being tested for Celiac Disease.

Research has found that the structure of gluten itself is what causes the damage to the gut and can lead to increased intes-tinal permeability aka leaky gut. Also, gluten’s structure is quite di� erent than other

proteins, making it harder for our body to digest it.

It is the “leaky gut” that allows proteins and food particles to enter the blood-

stream when they are not supposed to, leading to in� am-mation in the gut. � is in� ammation can cause further digestive problems and can increase the likelihood of the im-

mune system attacking those foods, creating a food allergy.

Gluten can a� ect more than just the gut.

More and more research is

coming out about gluten’s ef-fect on not only the digestive system but its e� ects on the brain. � is work has the basis for the very popular book Grain Brain, by Dr. David Perlmutter. Dr. Perlmutter, a renowned neurologist, points out that gluten has the capacity to cross into the brain, leading to in� amma-tion. � is in� ammation in the brain may be the cause of several disorders like ADHD, anxiety, migraines and may contribute to dementia.

If you suspect that you may have food allergies, gluten-related disorders, or Celiac disease, please consult with your primary health provider for further evalua-tion and appropriate testing.

Enterovirus D68 suspected in King County

Local health o� cials are working with Seattle Chil-dren’s Hospital to investigate a cluster of patients with severe respiratory illness who tested positive for a possible enterovirus infection. Ad-ditional testing is being done at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that can determine whether it is the enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) strain that has been seen recently in other U.S. states.

At this time there are no con� rmed cases of EV-D68 in King County or Washing-ton state.

If EV-D68 does appear locally, large numbers of chil-dren could develop respirato-ry infections in a short time period, as the virus spreads similarly to the common cold. With most enterovirus infections, the vast major-ity of children have a mild illness that does not require medical attention. However, parents of children with asthma should be aware that their children appear to be more susceptible to serious illness.

People who do not have severe illness do not need to seek medical evaluation or testing for EV-D68, which is not widely available outside of hospitals.

area and play � elds will serve the recreational needs of this fast-growing area.

“Over the past several years, much progress has been made toward achieving the community’s vision for the city,” Stowe said. “Private investments are transform-ing downtown Bothell into a vibrant residential, shop-ping, dining and central hub. But while Bothell is a healthy city � nancially, existing rev-enues are insu� cient to pay for the projects envisioned to make our public parks and spaces the best they can be.”

Bothell City Council members say the levy coin-cides with the city’s Imagine Bothell Comprehensive Plan, which calls for both private and public improve-ments. Stowe pointed out that public investments have already leveraged more than $200 million in private investment, which amounts to more than a 200 percent

return on the city’s invest-ment. More private projects are anticipated, generating an anticipated total of $650 million of private investment in the Bothell community, helping fund further capital

project needs in the city. “� e timing of the ballot

measure re� ects the reality of rapidly dwindling land suitable for parks and public spaces, “ Stowe said. “It is intended to provide the

opportunity for voters to have their say on the matter before suitable land for these vital community enhance-ments is used for other purposes.”

� e levy requires resi-dents pay an additional tax assessment, which would be around $10 per month for a home valued at $300,000. � e cost would be more for the owners of a home with a higher assessed value and less for owners of a home with a lower value. � e levy is limited to 25 years and over the course of that time, as assessed valuation in-creases throughout Bothell, the amount to individual tax payers would be less.

� e total levy would provide $42 million in expanded and new recre-ational facilities and public gathering places for the community.

“I have kids in sports and I love what sports teaches kids; it teaches them about

hard work and how to handle commitment and discipline,” Freese said. “I’ve seen that there is a huge shortage of park facilities, particularly in the north area of Bothell for children to practice and to play. � is levy would help solve that problem.”

� e panel expressed the bene� ts of passing the levy as it would fund multiple city projects including the park at Bothell Landing, new north Bothell park

(Snohomish County), North Creek Field No. 3 Turf, East Norway Hill Sport� elds Improvements and O� -Leash Area, North Creek Forest and other Open Space Acquisition and Development, Multi-way Boulevard; Main Street Extension (acquisition); and Main Street Enhance-ment.

City members say they will lose the opportunity to purchase land if the levy doesn’t pass.

Bothell football starts 2-0, IHS and CPC 0-2

� e Bothell High School football team began the

season 2-0 while both Inglemoor and Cedar Park Christian struggled to � nd the win column, each going 0-2.

� e Bothell High School football team earned its sec-ond win of the season Sept. 12, 42-14, against Issaquah at Pop Keeney Stadium.

Sam McPherson put the Cougars up early with an

eight-yard touchdown run on the team’s � rst drive of the game. But it was the de-fense that caused the home-� eld crowd to roar from the stands. Cougar Tyler Wharf scooped up a fumble and rumbled 65 yards for Both-ell’s third score of the � rst quarter and a 21-0 lead.

A hal� ack pass from McPherson to Dayzell

Wilson for a 20-yard score pretty much put an end to any chance of momentum for the Eagles.

Bothell began the season with a 41-19 victory at Eastlake High School in Sammmish on Sept. 5.

McPherson tied the game at 6-6 with a 35-yard run to the end zone and the extra point put Bothell up by one during the � rst quarter. A pass from Cougar quarter-back Ross Bowers to Wilson resulted in a long 85-yard touchdown strike to extend the lead. A two-point con-version made it 15-6 and Bothell never looked back.

McPherson’s best play of the game would put Bothell back up by 12 points, as he scampered 75-yards for a touchdown. � e run put the senior over the 100-yard mark just prior to hal� ime.

� e second half yielded more long-distance scor-ing for Bothell, as Bowers once again teamed up with Wilson for a 50-yard touchdown pass to start the third quarter. Bowers wasn’t done, opening the fourth quarter with a 60-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Corson.

Bothell will travel to Newport High school to-night for a 7 p.m. kicko� .

A long-time Kenmore � nancial advisor was sentenced last week in U.S. District Court in Seattle to � ve years in prison for mail fraud and Social Security number fraud, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan.

Edward H. Kahler, 65, was the owner of Key Re-sources, a Kenmore retire-ment consulting company which sold annuities and life insurance. Kahler used proprietary information

from the company he previ-ously represented to access customer accounts. He used that information to liquidate the customer accounts and used the money for his own bene� t.

Kahler was ordered to pay more than $1 million to eight elderly victims. At sentencing U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik called Kahler a “sophisti-cated fraudster” and noted “he took away trust, he took away money … and now

peoples’ lives are a� ected in a terrible way.”

According to records � led in the case, from 1983-2007 Kahler was a � nancial advi-sor for Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (VAL-IC), and was appointed by VALIC to sell its annuities. VALIC terminated Kahler in 2007 when it discovered he was promoting competing annuities.

Using information that he had in his � les, Kahler created pro� les for former

clients using the VALIC on-line system, and fraudulent-ly caused VALIC to liquidate the clients’ accounts and send the proceeds to him for his personal use and bene� t.

In the instance described in the complaint, on Christmas Eve 2012, Kahler liquidated the account of a client who had died in 1984, and used the $125,000 to fund a trip to Las Vegas, the payment on a BMW and other personal expenses. He also paid business expenses

with the money.In fact, one type of

Kahler’s fraud endured nearly 30 years. In 1986 one victim thought she had pur-chased an annuity for more than $103,000. But Kahler kept the money and never purchased the annuity.

Over the years he sent false statements to the purchaser indicating the value of the account. In 2008, Kahler sent a state-ment stating the account was worth more than

$390,000. However, in 2012 when the victim tried to access her funds, she learned no annuity had ever been purchased on her behalf. Five other victims also sent checks to Kahler for him to purchase annuities for them. Kahler kept the money and never invested the money as requested.

� e case was investigated by the FBI, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), and the Social Security Administration O� ce of In-spector General (SSA-OIG). � e case was prosecuted by Assistant United States At-torney Justin Arnold.

Kenmore financial advisor sentenced to five years

First certi� ed sports chiropractor in Northshore

Dr. David Arthur re-

cently passed the Ameri-can Board of Chiropractic Sports Physicians Certi-� cation Exam, becoming the only certi� ed sports chiropractor in the Both-ell, Kenmore and Lake Forest Park areas. Requir-ing 50 hours of classroom time and a minimum of 50 hours of online study, Arthur’s areas of study included shoulder

injuries, hips, knees and concussion protocol and treatment. Upon passing the certi� cation exam, Arthur has added sports chiropractic care to his extensive practice at the Corner on Wellness Chiropractic Center in Bothell.

Arthur has had a life-long interest both in chi-ropractic care and sports

injury treatment. “I injured my back

when I was only 13 while training for a swimming competition, and it was the chiropractic care I received that not only helped me to perform at a high level, but set the course for my life’s work. � is sports certi� cation is a very important mile-stone for me and I can’t

wait to share these skills with my patients,” he said.

In addition to his recent sports chiropractic certi� cation, Arthur has done extensive postgrad-uate study in the � elds of spinal trauma, athletic performance, biomechan-ics and orthopedics. He is a member of the Wash-ington State Chiroprac-tors Association and the

American Chiropractic Association.

Arthur is a co-owner of the Corner on Wellness Chiropractic Ceneter in Bothell that he runs with his wife and chiropractor partner, Dr. Suzie Shay. For sports related injuries and all other chiroprac-tic needs, reach him at (425) 485-7507 or www.corneronwellness.com.

Metro will use a federal grant to test battery-powered, zero-emission buses

King County Executive

Dow Constantine is taking action to ensure Metro remains one of the green-est major transit agencies in the nation, authorizing Metro to test a new gener-ation of battery-powered, zero-emission buses.

“Ten years after King County began replacing older buses with hybrid-electric models, we now have technology that holds the promise of an even cleaner and more energy-

efficient fleet,” Constantine said.

Thanks to a $4.7 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration, Metro recently signed a deal with Proterra Inc. to replace two older buses with 40-foot heavy-duty battery electric buses. With two-thirds of its buses now all or partially powered by electricity, Metro plans to make its entire fleet even greener by 2018.

“This testing will allow us to understand where these electric buses can best be used and what their performance will be like within our real-world operating environ-ment,” said Metro General Manager Kevin Desmond. “These answers, combined with ongoing federal sup-

port and growing interest, will be key in moving this technology into the main-stream.”

The zero-emission coaches will include fast-charge batteries and allow Metro to test performance and efficiency as part of its normal operations. The electric buses are designed to operate up to 23 miles between charges and get the equivalent of 15 miles per gallon more than a regular diesel coach.

The outcome of the testing will help determine whether battery electric bus technology represents a promising replacement option for Metro’s regular 40-foot diesel coaches. The demonstration will also determine how the technology compares with the performance of Metro’s

hybrid fleet.Metro expects to begin

testing the battery-pow-ered buses in June 2015.

In the meantime, Metro will continue to replace older buses with hybrid-electric models, including 35- and 40-foot buses that allow the engine to com-pletely cut off when there is no need for power. The new feature will reduce fuel costs by an additional 5-10 percent each year.

By helping reduce the number of cars and trucks on streets – along with its energy-efficient fleet, LEED-certified facilities, and recycling efforts – Metro has reduced the amount of carbon dioxide it produces by 600,000 metric tons each year.

Metro has also saved about $4.8 million annu-ally by using fuel-saving hybrid technology. Its electric trolleys save an additional $1 million due to higher energy efficiency and the lower cost of electricity relative to diesel fuel.

In addition to operat-ing the largest articulated hybrid fleet in the United States, Metro has the sec-ond largest electric trolley system and the largest all-electric vanpool fleet in the

nation. This commitment to environmental sustain-ability earned Metro gold-level recognition by the American Public Trans-portation Association in 2013 for actions taken to protect the environment.

Volunteers needed to help tally cyclists, walkers this fall in Bothell

During a three-day sur-vey last year, volunteers counted nearly 66,000 bicyclists and pedestri-ans across Washington. As another survey cycle approaches, about 400 volunteers will be called upon again this fall to tal-ly the number of people who ride a bike or walk to their destinations.

“As an avid cyclist, I have an appreciation for the many volunteers who help with this annual count,” said Washing-ton State Department of Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson. “Knowing where people are and how they are using the trans-portation system helps us measure the results of bike and sidewalk invest-ments and plan for future projects.”

For the seventh annual survey, WSDOT and the Cascade Bicycle Club are enlisting volunteers and organizations such as Feet First and Washington Bikes to help count the people they see bicycling and walking along paths, bike lanes, sidewalks and other facilities Sept. 30 through Oct. 2. Counts will be taken at assigned locations in nearly 40 cit-ies throughout the state.

WSDOT’s count is part of the National Docu-mentation Project, an annual bicycle and pedes-trian count and survey effort sponsored by the Institute of Transporta-tion Engineers Pedestrian and Bicycle Council. The count will also help mea-sure WSDOT’s progress toward its goal of increas-ing bicycling and walk-ing while reducing the number of vehicle miles driven.

WSDOT and the Cascade Bicycle Club are asking volunteers from across the state to per-form the counts in par-ticipating cities including Bothell.

Those interested in helping can learn more by visiting WSDOT’s survey website, emailing the Cascade Bicycle Club or calling (206) 861-9890.

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Lifetime Bothell resident Arlene Plancich remembers

the quiet days of Bothell, growing up on her fam-ily’s farm on Beardslee Boulevard.

“It has been interesting to watch all the growth Bothell has had over the years,” Plancich said. “My parents would be shocked and so happy to see the city they loved prosper.”

Plancich was one of around 75 resi-dents who came out Sept. 3 to the groundbreaking ceremony at the new City Hall’s location. The new building is a part of the City of Bothell’s down-town revitalization plan. The new City Hall will be a part of a multi-block known as the City Center.

“Growing up in Bothell, I heard many people com-plain that there wasn’t anything to do here,” said Edith Erickson-Berg, life-time resident. “Now, the city members have done a fabulous job bringing in new businesses, restau-rants and other entertain-ment places that are just a walk away from each other. We don’t have to leave the city to have fun anymore.”

Erickson-Berg said the addition of the new City Hall building is a necessary addition to the growth of Bothell.

“I think of it as a place where we can all come together as a community,” she said. “My father was a former mayor of Bothell and spoke of the need of a new building like this, and he would have loved to be here today at this ceremony .”

The new building is lo-cated at 18305 101st Ave.

NE., next to the old City Hall that was built in 1938

when Bothell’s population was around 800. Today

Bothell’s population is 41,500.“This is an historic

moment for Bothell, one that has followed over a decade of public discus-sion,” said Mayor Joshua Freed. “Bothell citizens can be proud their vision is a success. Their vision re-imagined Bothell’s his-toric downtown in a way that would stimulate eco-nomic growth and ensure a revitalized downtown reflective of the values and fabric of their com-munity for current and future generations. The City Hall is an important piece of that vision.”

The city’s downtown

revitalization plan has attracted more than $200 million in private invest-ment and is expected to stimulate an additional $450 million in private investment over the com-ing years.

“I am proud to stand here today and see that despite a downward economy, Bothell not only remains vibrant, but is thriving,” said City Man-ager Bob Stowe. “We built our first City Hall build-ing during the depression and now we are building our new City Hall in the midst of a recession. This shows the commitment and perseverance of our community.”

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene said the new fa-cility is necessary for the city employees to have so they can better serve their citizens.

“As we change and grow in this city, we need a facility like this for the city hall employees and to have a great place where the public can meet,” DelBene said. “We’ve already seen how bring-ing in new businesses and making city improve-ments have brought more business and residents to Bothell, so I can’t imagine how much growth we will see after the City Hall is built.”
