Inslee presents LEED gold certificate for City Hall Project

BY ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@bothell-reporter.com

When Congressman Jay Inslee arrived at Kenmore City Hall the evening of Dec. 21, people were thrilled to see their District 1 representative. Mayor David Baker and Inslee were quick to shake hands and have a brief chat before several others greeted Inslee as he strolled into the City Council chambers.

Inslee was on hand to present the city of Kenmore with a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certificate for its City Hall Project.

Opened in May 2010, the 36,930-square-foot City Hall (15,000 square feet for underground parking) features permeable paving to manage and minimize stormwater runoff, solar panels on the roof that provide at least 2.5 percent of the building’s energy use,

LUNCH SPECIAL Dishes from the belt Only $1.25 and $1.75 11am-4:30pm • Dine-In Only

water-efficient plumbing fixtures and more.

Inslee feels that other cities in the state and country should follow Kenmore’s actions, which are both crucial for the environment and one’s pocketbook.

“It’s savings for the taxpayers, so you have less energy costs; it’s savings for the salmon because you’re not putting some stormwater into the lake; it’s savings for our kids because you’re teaching about solar power,” Inslee said after the meeting. “So this is a win-win-win

for a lot of folks and it’s something to brag about. I think Kenmore leadership and the whole community ought to be proud of it — I certainly am.”

Baker — whom Inslee swore back into office along with Glenn Rogers last night — said, “The congressman, without fail, has taken time out of his busy schedule to meet with us,” referring to helping retain Kenmore’s post office and discussing State Route 522 traffic.

Representing the Cascadia Green Building Council at the meeting, Joel Sisolak said that people in Kenmore are enthusiastic about sustainability.

Kenmore’s Bastyr University also garnered a LEED platinum award for its student village.

“It’s just inspiring to me at a time where, the economy’s not in the best shape, that our places of learning and our places of leading are still showing a commitment to what’s important for the future,” Sisolak said.

Bridge tolling begins: how SR 522 is faring

By Andy Nystrom anystrom@bothell-reporter.com

It’s been slightly busier in some spots, but business as usual in others on State Route 522 the last week through Bothell and Kenmore, according to locals.

Tolls on the SR 520 bridge began Dec. 29, and Bothell and Kenmore officials, along with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Tolls Director Craig Stone, have said that an influx of drivers will be traveling SR 522 and interstates 90 and 405 to avoid paying tolls.

“Drivers from Issaquah to Seattle and Tukwila to Shoreline will see changes to their commute,” Stone said.

“We expect traffic patterns will change daily, and it will take several months before traffic settles into a predictable new pattern.”

Don Villegas and Eric Deines, employees at a business on Northeast Bothell Way in Kenmore, said SR 522 was more congested Dec. 29 than normal.

“Especially this morning. Normally, the crows are around and they stick around until about 8, but they were gone because a lot of traffic was around,” Villegas said of the large flock of birds that are ever-present in Kenmore.

Added Deines of the traffic: “A little bit more than normal so far, nothing major. Oh, we’ll see an increase there, for sure.”

Deines was referring to Tuesday, when most people returned to work after their holiday vacations and hit the roads in full force again.

Over at Bothell Ski and Bike on Northeast Bothell Way in Kenmore, co-owner Greg Pergament agreed that Tuesday would be the “real test” in witnessing how much additional traffic would roll on SR 522.

“It certainly may lead to more exposure for our business, people going a little bit slower, and maybe some people that normally took 520 and are now taking this will see our business for the first time,” Pergament said.

When Tuesday morning finally came, Kenmore Tully’s employee Madison Rengli said

a big traffic surge didn’t hit near her job spot, but that doesn’t mean it’s not coming.

But there was one addition that the slight traffic change may have blown in: “I definitely noticed different customers. ” Up the street, another SR 522 employee, Gabe Day, said that his commute to Kenmore from Sammamish was affected on Tuesday. He travels state routes 202 to 520, then hits I-405 and exits onto SR 522.

“It seems like it was a bit little harder to get here in the morning when I drove here,” he said, noting that people were clearly avoiding the bridge. “It’s logical — who wants to have to pay when they can just go around?”

minutes. Eastbound SR 522 from Seattle to Woodinville traffic volumes increased 5 percent and travel times increased up to 13 minutes.

Pergament added that the SR 522 improvements, like the widening of the road and the better timing of the traffic lights, should be able to handle the additional traffic.

While waiting for tires to be put on his vehicle at a shop on Northeast Bothell Way on Dec. 29, Bothell resident Wade Foley said he knows more traffic will be coming his way: “I’ll have to cross that bridge when we come to it.”

And while he concurs with Pergament that businesses will benefit from the extra traffic, he added: “The people that live around here might not be so happy because they’ll get more traffic.”

Over at Fritters n’ Jitters on SR 522 in Bothell on Tuesday morning, employee Chandell (last name withheld) added: “It seems about the same amount of traffic that normally drives by here. The tolling started a week ago, and I’m assuming that people aren’t quite back to their normal schedules from the holidays.”

According to WSDOT statistics and checking of traffic-monitoring cameras on Tuesday, on SR 522 from SR 202 in Woodinville to downtown Seattle, westbound traffic took about five minutes longer than usual during the morning commute. There was no change in travel times on eastbound SR 522.

On Tuesday evening on SR 522 from SR 202 in Woodinville to downtown Seattle, westbound traffic volumes increased 6 percent and travel times increased up to seven

Bothell buys ‘last great forest’ Thanks to combined efforts of Friends of the North Creek Forest, Help Our Woods and the city, 35 acres is purchased Nothing could hold Jim and Carolyn Freese back from trudging through the mud, stepping over fallen tree branches and pushing past plants en route to their final destination, wherever that may be.

The Bothell couple simply trekked as far as they could go before the land dipped into a ravine. The Freeses looked down, smiled at the stunning forest laid out before them and snapped a few pictures before heading back to safe, even ground and proceeded to explore the area some more.

After locating a large twisted red Cedar tree that has undergone such wear and tear that it no longer reaches upwards, but sideways instead, Carolyn remarked: “It’s still there.” Jim added: “Oh, it’s going to be here for a while.”

On a recent Friday afternoon, the Freeses spent about a half hour touring part of the North Creek Forest (near their home, off of 242nd Street Northeast), which the city of Bothell purchased from the Boy Scouts of America Dec. 15. The 35-acre, $460,000 land acquisition — located one mile from the Bothell city center — is fully funded through grants from the Washington State Department of Commerce, Snohomish County Conservation Futures and King County Conservation Futures; additional funding is through the King County Proposition 2 Park Levy.

Jim Freese — interim executive director of Friends of the North Creek Forest — called the land a game-changing piece of property, which will be preserved as open space and be available to the public for passive use and for nearby schools to use as outdoor classrooms.

“Once you get them in the forest and show them what they can do, it sells itself,” Freese said of educators and students and their surroundings.

“It’s almost like magic for students when they discover it. If we can move away from studying (just) the ABC’s to understanding whole systems …” he added about the upland coniferous forest to the University of Washington, Bothell wetlands to the Chinook salmon-spawning streams. The entire 64-acre forest houses large Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock and Cedar trees, and copious plants and animals, including the Pileated Woodpecker and the Band-tailed Pigeon.

Friends President Jeanie Robinson noted that they’ve got some momentum going and have 29 acres to go.

Boy Scouts property representative Bryan Zemp called the deal “the ideal way to sell scout property, knowing that it will become a public space to benefit people for years to come. This honors the spirit and tradition of scouting.”

Friends Vice President David Bain — a leading authority on Orca whales — is especially interested in the salmon, which the endangered whales devour to help in their aid and recovery, he said.

Like Freese, Bain — also vice president of the Cascadia Environment Science Center — said students are a top priority in introducing them to the world of water quality, landuse patterns and more: “We want to develop young minds through experiential learning they get to do hands-on starting early in

elementary school through high school.”

Freese’s Friends of the North Creek Forest and Help Our Woods banded together with the city to help preserve what Bothell officials call its “last great forest,” which is surrounded by an urban area projected to grow 30 percent in the next 18 years.

Securing the grants was both a laborious and exciting process, according to Freese, who noted that Bothell resident and Rep. Derek Stanford lent support the whole way, as well.

“We showed up at City Council meetings asking if we could apply for these grants,” he said. “At the end of April, we got the Snohomish grant, and then six days later, we got the commerce grant — boom! boom! (both for $200,000 each). And we said, ‘Wow! Look what we can do when we work on it together.” They later secured a $109,000 federally funded land and water grant, the second highest in Washington state.

Aside from council meetings, the Friends spread the word at the University of Washington, Bothell and Bastyr University’s Earth Day events, RiverFest and the Brightwater Sewage Treatment Plant grand opening, and received key endorsements from UWBothell and the Northshore School District.

The Friends estimate they’ve amassed more than 2,000 hours of labor toward forest restoration.

Bothell Deputy Mayor Josh Freed said 1 ½ years ago, it was questionable whether the land acquisition could be made, but perseverance by everyone involved and a common vision to preserve the forest pushed the purchase forward.

“I know we were all pretty excited about the opportunity that was out there,” said Freed, noting that the city, citizens and students will benefit from the purchase. “It’s a win-win all around.”

The Friends’ board of directors is a “dream list,” according to Freese, consisting of 12 founders that include Warren Gold (UWBothell associate professor of ecology and environmental science), Robinson (who holds a master’s degree in theological studies and a bachelor’s in education) and Maximilian Dixon (past president and founder of the UW-Bothell/Cascadia Community College Sustainability Organization).

UW-Bothell senior Darryl Nevels, a Friends founder and restoration-ecology student, says that visiting the forest is an ideal way to escape from city life. He likes to hike and just spend time in the woods. “It’s my niche,” he said.

And he’ll be spending a good deal of hours there with Gold on a UW Restoration Ecology Network mapping project studying plant diversity. “The forest is so close to UW-Bothell and we’re excited to keep on working,” he said.

“The North Creek Forest is a wonderland of forest habitat right here in the heart of Bothell. Its purchase by the city is the result of an amazing grassroots effort by a group of Bothell residents and forward-thinking city councilmembers and staff,” said Gold, who has lived in Bothell for 12 years. “I am incredibly grateful to the tireless efforts that have resulted in the preservation of such a gem of a marvelous resource, and I look forward to seeing it sparkle for generations to come.”

The 35 acres of the Bothell North Creek Forest is bordered by Interstate 405 and streets like 108th Avenue Northeast and 26th Drive Southeast on the west. Courtesy graphic

It’s been great knowing you, Bothell & Kenmore “Say hello, wave goodbye.” I thought these lyrics by David Gray were appropriate for my editorial debut and simultaneous finale. Also, the fact that it’s going to be until at least July before my annual summer visit to the old neighborhood in Northeast Portland... where I will be subsequently beat up by my friends for going on the record as a David Gray fan.

You see, I’ve worked for the Bothell-Kenmore Reporter since September of 2007 on the advertising side. I’m the one that asks people for money. The one that walks through the door and causes shop owners to find the nearest stack of papers to rifle through with the immediacy of an early morning trip to the delivery room...the one that is hissed from the stage.

On my final day here at the paper, I am a writer. This column is not solely my own. I am writing this farewell on behalf of Andrea Southern, who until earlier this month has been our unquestioned leader for the past two-and-a-half years as the publisher of the BothellKenmore Reporter. As if running your paper wasn’t enough, she was also the publisher of the Redmond Reporter, and over the past several months, the Kirkland Reporter, as well. She has decided to take the plunge and start her own business along with her husband and family. This newspaper and this man flourished under Andrea’s leadership and she is already sorely missed.

The best of luck to the woman that we affectionately call “mama bear.”

OPINION

[4] January 6, 2012

hundred years, the past 15 years have more than made up for it. The social, cultural and economic landscape of how people live their lives and receive their information is constantly evolving. The common thread that keeps the symbiotic relationship strong between the Bothell-Kenmore Reporter and the people of the Northshore is our affinity for the very communities that we live and work in. People will always want to know what’s going on within their community, and your local newspapers are the only professional, unbiased source of information available to them on a continual basis.

The communities of Bothell and Kenmore are dealing with the same experiences in our own growth. In just the short amount of time that I have been working here, I have seen an abundance of change come to the landscape of the Northshore. Unfortunately, sometimes change for the greater good comes at the cost of a select few. Businesses are relocated, lives are changed and new life paths are chosen. It is important to remember that the small businesses in your community are there because they wholeheartedly believe in your community. Whenever the opportunity arises, please consider giving them your business because small businesses are

the backbone of our local economy...and they are also our neighbors and friends. When was the last time a big box store helped you out in a jam?

I want to thank everyone that I’ve come into contact with during my years here. Many of you have not only been wonderful business partners, but have shared your personal triumphs and tribulations with me in real time. You accepted me as a local, and for that I am forever grateful.

Lastly, I want to thank all of my colleagues at the Bothell-Kenmore Reporter and Sound Publishing for putting up with my antics over the years. Having you as co-workers and friends has inherently enhanced me as a person and I look forward to watching all of your achievements from afar...if you consider Bellevue to be afar, which is where my new sales role with this company takes me.

I’ll leave you with a quote from Arthur Ashe that I feel helps epitomize the mindset and outlook we all should have in life: “You have got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.” I couldn’t have said it any better. Until next time my friends.

No need to worry about The Paradise Espresso stand I have visited The Paradise Espresso stand (story on page 6) a few times, and the baristas there are friendly but not lascivious. To the credit of whoever situated this stand, the serving window is not facing the road, and overall it is quite an innocuous place. I believe espresso stands with girls in ‘costume-themed’ outfits are not a deterrent to our community as long as they are discreet, and this one certainly seems to be. It is not near a school nor has high foot traffic near.

Very soon, it will be frequented only by those who are looking for an alternative to the ordinary coffee shop.

Cain in the Department of Defense: ‘truly hilarious’ I was surprised to see the recent “thought” from Robert Bryce on the Nov. 18 Reporter article about “Baker talks Kenmore with Obama, others” and his disparaging comment that our President was not qualified to be mayor of Kenmore. Somehow this was his idea of hilar-

ity. Within five minutes, I was brought back to reality watching Barbara Walters taken aback

by Herman Cain’s “thoughts” about accepting a job in the Department of Defense. Now, obviously, Robert Bryce and I don’t have much in common, but Cain in the Department of Defense is truly hilarious.

Sharla Unruh, Kenmore

Kenmore writer’s take on Obama, Occupy Wall Street When I read in the Reporter that Mayor David Baker, who belongs to a political party whose members have demonized Barack Obama, met with the president, I applauded. It was proof that the leaders of my hometown and my country are both wise and mature enough to set aside petty partisan squabbles to work together on matters of importance to all of us.

Then I saw the unfortunate letter from Robert Bryce, which used this occasion as an excuse to mindlessly kick sand in the president’s eyes by saying Obama is unqualified to be mayor of Kenmore. Why would he say Obama is unqualified (besides the fact that he is not a resident here)? A graduate of Columbia and Harvard Law, an Illinois state senator and U.S. Senator were good enough qualifications

to convince 52 percent of American voters that Obama is eligible to be president. Republicans who are unable to challenge Obama on the issues launch one false accusation after another.

Saying the president is a Muslim, a communist, a fascist, uses a forged birth certificate — or is unqualified to hold office — has no basis in reality and is intellectually lazy.

Another letter in the same issue, by Bill Hirt, alleges that Occupy Wall Street protests are the result of a society in which every student get A’s and sports no longer has winners and losers.

Why would he say such a thing? My son’s Kenmore Little League baseball team played in the league championships by beating rivals — and lost to a superior team. I have sent four children to Inglemoor High. None ever received an A without pouring sweat into homework and tests; they all got their share of B’s and C’s, too.

I am pleased that the Reporter runs letters from all its readers, even when the writers have no basis in fact but merely repeat false rightwing slogans. It’s much easier to let Fox News do your thinking than to analyze issues on their own merit. No wonder Karl Rove ridiculed George W. Bush’s political foes as the “factbased community.”

Bastyr master’s degree in counseling psychology on the way Bastyr University will add a master of arts in counseling psychology degree program to its curriculum for fall 2012.

Students who graduate with this degree from Bastyr University will be eligible for licensure as mental-health counsel-

ors (LMHC). According to statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, mental-health jobs are expected to grow by 24 percent between now and 2018, indicating tremendous growth potential in this field and a strong need for qualified and

licensed mental health professionals to get their training now.

The master of arts in counseling psychology program is set to begin next fall with plans to accept approximately 10 students in the inaugural class.

Kenmore Elementary, Westhill Elementary, Frank Love Elementary and Canyon Park Junior High won a combined $10,000 in funding for arts education by entering a KRIS Wine and Americans for the Arts Facebook competition.

Kenmore Elementary won the grand prize of $5,000. The school was one of 1,465 schools that entered the contest.

Steve Hopkins, principal at Kenmore Elementary said, “Our state has just come out with learning standards for the arts. This grant will help us greatly in designing activities and experiences that will help students not only appreciate the arts, but learn the different aspects of art. In the end, this grant will help us enrich the lives of our students by providing more arts education.”

KRIS Wine and Americans for the Arts partnered to promote awareness and support arts education in public schools at a time when budget cuts threaten quality arts education programs across the country.

Throughout the months of October and November, consumers 21 years or older voted for their favorite K-12 public school to win funding for arts education programs by visiting KRIS Wine’s Facebook page. The 16 schools with the top number of votes are being awarded a total of $25,000 to

HARMON DONATES DEFIBRILLATOR TO FIRE DEPARTMENT

Margaret Harmon of Kenmore recently donated a new automatic external defibrillator (AED) to the Northshore Fire Department.

Harmon recently retired from Physio Control in Redmond after working there for 30 years. Physio Control is a manufacturer of defibrillator units and has a program that provides a new AED to retiring employees to donate to the agency or charity of their choice.

AEDs are used to provide an electrical shock to the heart, typically following a heart attack or similar event in order to re-establish a normal heart rhythm. The unit will be placed in the new headquarters fire station in Kenmore, located at 7220 N.E. 181st St. “We have citizens come in periodically

with heart-related problems”, said Deputy Chief Jim Torpin, “This will provide us immediate access to life saving technology right in the lobby of the fire station.”

KENMORE STUDENTS RECEIVE CHRISTMAS GIFTS

On Dec. 12, Republic Services delivered about 125 gifts to children in the Kenmore Elementary Secret Santa program. These are children who would be without gifts this season if people did not step up to help.

‘Costume-themed’ espresso stand draws handful of complaints

two young children. He has a bachelor of arts degree in business from the University of Washington, Bothell.

“We are conscientious of where we are (Country Village) — this is not Everett,” he said, referring to the string of bikinibarista stands in that city.

Tagle said he’s received a few complaints since The Paradise Espresso opened. One morning last month, employee Mo Calhoun said everything was running smoothly as customers rolled in and grabbed their coffees.

Tagle added that he has built relationships with the cities, counties and police departments where his stands are located, is a hard worker in putting his businesses on the map and has stayed out of trouble, unlike other stands whose baristas have taken their jobs to extremes. Case in point was the Best Friend stand on Northeast Bothell Way in Kenmore where an employee allegedly exposed and briefly fondled herself while a customer waited for his hot chocolate about a year ago. Best Friend has since ditched the lingerie and bikinis and gone family friendly.

The Paradise Espresso is located outside of Country Village and is housed in the former R and R Espresso, which Lawson-Tidd called a family place. She enjoyed getting her coffee at R and R, but feels that Tagle’s Paradise is pushing the [ more PARADISE page 9 ]

What’s too much for some might not be over the top for others.

When longtime Bothell resident Connie Lawson-Tidd cruised up to the drive-thru window at The Paradise Espresso on Bothell-Everett Highway on a recent morning, she didn’t approve of the female barista’s apparel.

The Canyon Park Junior High and Bothell High PTA member said the barista was wearing lingerie in a stand that’s near family-friendly Country Village.

“Sex and coffee don’t mix.

Their focus should be on brewing a good cup of coffee and hiring friendly, outgoing employees,” said Lawson-Tidd, one of two Bothell residents

who called the Reporter with complaints about the stand, which opened about a month ago.

The Paradise Espresso owner Alan Tagle also contacted the Reporter and noted that his new business forbids baristas from sporting lingerie or bikinis — the uniform that’s accepted at his four Beehive Espresso stands, one of which is located on Northeast Bothell Way in Bothell.

Instead, he said, in the “costume-themed stand,” baristas don club wear, modern wear and glitzy, sparkly dresses.

During Christmas week, they wore Santa outfits.

“Everyone has a different perspective, and everyone can express their opinion — there’s nothing wrong with that,” said Tagle, 29, who lives in Edmonds with his wife and

Hatha Yoga, the yoga of physical postures, is not a separate yoga science in its own right; rather it is the physical discipline of the integral teaching known as raja yoga.

Yoga means “union.” On a physical level of application, this signifies the complete harmony of all parts of the body — a balanced support of all the members for one another in such a way that disease, or disharmony, is faced with a united defense and can hardly make any inroad into the body.

Applying this to the body, we may understand that disease and other symptoms of bodily inharmony are not natural to man. If one can return to his natural state, disease will vanish as a matter of course.

The yoga postures help to harmonize the body with natural law. The primary emphasis in hatha yoga is on freeing the body of any impurity that may prevent it from functioning as it should.

Even a little physical vitality can become dynamic, if the unnatural obstructions to its flow are removed.

Yogis and Western medical doctors both say that the toxins in the body soon leave the bloodstream and settle in the joints. Western medical doctors have actually stated that the spinal discs of many people even in their twenties already show signs of deterioration, owing to want of proper irrigation. Western systems of physical exercise do not develop the limberness necessary to keep the joints free of toxins and the spinal column well irrigated with life force. In both of these matters, the science of hatha yoga stands supreme.

Hatha yoga also exercises a gentle massage on the internal organs and glands, gradually strengthening them. Much emphasis is given in yoga to the elimination of waste from the body. Tension, the chief obstruction to this flow, is the first obstacle to be overcome

From a very young age, children are asked to exercise patience in group settings.

How well they demonstrate patience among their peers depends largely on whether they’re asked to practice patience at home. While some children (and adults!) are more patient by nature, patience is a virtue that can be taught in simple ways at home. Here are some ways how.

Teach delays. Instead of rushing to your child at his first peep—whether he’s crying out for your attention from his bedroom or the bathroom— know that, if his safety isn’t at risk, it’s OK to wait a little bit.

You may even find that he learns life skills more quickly, from soothing himself to sleep to doing his business in the bathroom solo, by having him wait.

Implement a “no interruptions” rule. If you can’t remember the last time you finished a conversation with another adult, it’s probably time to implement this rule at home. It lets your child know that she is not the only person in the world who requires your attention, and that it’s just plain rude to interrupt mom or dad.

Perform activities that demonstrate patience. Children often learn intangible concepts like patience best through tangible examples. One idea: if you’re anticipating a special day, let your child mark off the days of the month on a calendar in countdown fashion.

envelope too far and should have a sign warning customers of what’s inside or have tinted windows.

What is inside, Tagle said, is a friendly, comfortable atmosphere with a lounge and a TV set for customers to enjoy their coffee and have a conversation with others.

He doesn’t feel there’s anything wrong with baristas wearing a T-shirt that exposes their belly button, a skirt that shows their legs or an off-theshoulder sweatshirt.

Even if The Paradise Espresso is near Country Village, he feels it’s OK. Tagle is fond of Country Village and takes his 4-year-old daughter there to get a haircut, so he’s aware of what the area means to the community.

On moving from Montana to Bothell, LawsonTidd noted that “one thing that drew me here was that it is family friendly: you’ve got football on Friday nights and themed events at Country Village.”

“Change is part of the evolution of the community,” she added. “But we’re in America, there’s hometown values — sex doesn’t need to tarnish that.”

Larsen drove by the stand last Friday and noted that the barista’s outfit — featuring a top, nylons, a garter belt and bikini bottoms — was crossing the line. She wondered if people living in the nearby condominiums were as flabbergasted as she is about the barista’s costumes.

“Every time we open one, a handful of people complain. And we always address everybody’s concerns,” said Tagle, who added that the complaints disappear after a while.

“As long as the primary purpose of the business is to sell coffee, the business most likely will not qualify as adult entertainment; and every investigation the city has done in regard to these businesses has found that these coffee stands do not qualify as adult entertainment,” Bothell City Attorney Joe Beck wrote in a report to City Councilmembers.

“Under the Constitution, it is unlikely that Bothell can ban adult entertainment — only regulate it as has been done in Bothell’s adult entertainment ordinance.”

Beck added that anyone who believes there is a violation of law, such as indecent exposure, should report it to the police.

Northshore girls teams are hoopin’ it up Conroy and Chay Fuller were players of the game in each contest, and Peacocke (tournament MVP) and Conroy made the first all-tourney team.

“Our team chemistry is a huge deal this year. We’ve done a lot of team bonding and everybody gets along and likes each other on and off the court,” said Peacocke, who will play Division I hoops for Sacramento State next year. “During basketball season, we’re like a family.”

Coach John Augustavo is in his 11th year at the Inglemoor helm and said he’s just as fired up about Vik basketball now as he was on Day One. Along with the hard-working Ashby, Peacocke and Conroy, the coach points to seniors Kate Taylor and Lauren Moses and juniors Julia Haining and Fuller as keys to the Viks’ success.

Haining is heads above the other players at 6-foot-1, and Fuller stands in at 5-foot-11 and notched two years of varsity experience at Holy Names before transferring to Inglemoor.

Larissa Ashby can’t contain her energy and thoughts when discussing her basketball team. While some of her teammates are soft-spoken about the Inglemoor High Vikings, Ashby simply goes for it.

“When we play together, we’re just crazy good,” the senior forward said following a practice last week. “And our defense is insane — it’s just crazy.”

The Viks are a fast team, a wellrounded squad, Ashby continued, and the girls have bounced out of the gate with a 3-2 record in 4A Kingco and a 6-3 overall mark at the Reporter’s press time. Senior guard Taylor Peacocke leads the way scoring-wise with an average of 19 points per game, followed by junior guard Kelly Conroy with a 14.6 average.

Over the holiday, the Vikings defeated Bishop Blanchet, 73-40, and successfully defended their Les Schwab Classic title with wins over Kentwood, 65-44, in the championship game and Timberline, 52-37.

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com Bothell senior captains Sarah Garinger, left, and Kendra Heyer envision lots of fun, and hopefully some wins, in 2012 under new head coach Amy Flinn. Heyer, a three-sport star, will be playing Division I softball at Philadelphia’s La Salle University next year.

ANDY NYSTROM, Bothell Reporter

Flinn’s attitude is infectious, keeping the team on a positive course.

“We constantly use encouragement, we’re always helping the team out,” Garinger said of her and Heyer’s roles on the team.

“They (teammates) look to us for help on the court, and they know that we’re there for them to talk to.”

“On and off the court,” said Heyer who will play Division I softball at La Salle University next year. “We want it to be more of a family than a team kind of thing.”

After a rough 0-4 start to their league season, the Inglemoor boys’ team righted the ship by winning the Bellevue College (BC) Holiday Tournament last Friday night, defeating Monroe 68-60 in the finals.

The Vikings used a big first quarter to storm out to a 37-26 lead at halftime, which they extended to 18 points after the third.

Despite the Bearcats making a fourth-quarter run, the Vikings were able to keep them at bay and secure the tournament victory.

Inglemoor’s Chris Bryant scored a career-high 29 in the victory, with Brendan Lauck contributing a season-high 11 and Cooper Danby nine.

The Vikings improved their overall record to 4-6 with their trio of wins at BC.

Inglemoor’s Cooper Danby, a 6-5 forward, shoots over a Bear Creek defender during the team’s 62-42 win over the Grizzlies in the Bellevue College Tournament semifinals last week. The Vikings ended up winning the event, beating Monroe 68-60 in the finals. Photo courtesy of Sini Fernandez Serving You Since 2002

Gordon Charles Green

Viking girls win Les Schwab Classic

Serving the Northwest Since 1986

The Inglemoor High girls’ basketball team won the Les Schwab Christmas Classic tournament last Friday at Kennedy High School, defeating Kentwood for the second straight year in the championship game, 65-44.

The Vikings’ offense was hot early, scoring 39 first-half points, while a fine team defensive effort held the Conquerors to just 16 points in the second half.

Taylor Peacocke, who scored 23, was named the tournament MVP, and Chay Fuller, who scored 11, was named the Player of the Game. Kelly Conroy added 13 for the Vikings, who improved to 7-3 overall.

REPRESENTING

Carl & Krista Michelman

Gordon was born in Bothell on November 26, 1921, and died from metastatic prostate cancer on November 3, 2011, in San Antonio, Texas, at the age of 89. His parents were early Bothell residents, Charles Henry Green and Sarah Elizabeth Simonds Green. Gordon attended Bothell schools through 9th grade, then went to Roosevelt High School in Seattle, where he graduated in 1940. He enrolled at the University of Washington and completed two years before joining the Army Air Corps early in World War II. During training, he contracted rheumatic fever and received a medical discharge. He completed his college education at UCLA. Subsequently he earned M.A. (in Drama) and Ph.D. (in Communications) degrees from the University of Southern California.

He was especially proud of his Master’s thesis, “An Analysis of The Importance of Being Earnest as a Satire on Victorian Conventions,” which has been consulted frequently by students and scholars in the years since its 1950 completion.

Among his many accomplishments was dramatic training in New York directed by Erwin Piscator with classmates such as Marlon Brando and Elaine Stritch. He was later a valued member of two theater companies in Houston, Texas. A talented but unpublished playwright, he spent the majority of his professional life as a college professor of English and drama, mostly in Los Angeles (1964-1983).

He also taught in Houston, Kirkland, Lewiston (Idaho), and New Orleans.

In addition to his passion for drama, Gordon enjoyed opera and classical music. His greatest enthusiasm was for traveling and seeing other parts of the world. He often visited Europe and also the family of his UCLA roommate in Guatemala. He loved visiting historic churches and art museums.

After his retirement as a full professor at Los Angles City College in 1983, he moved several times, usually to senior communities, first in San Diego, then Las Vegas, Bothell, Kirkland, Pompano Beach (Florida), Bothell again, San Antonio, back to San Diego for one year, and then the final five months of his life once again in San Antonio. He was restless, ever searching for the perfect place.

In early September, he made his final trip to Bothell to be honored at the University of Washington–Bothell groundbreaking ceremony for the Sarah Simonds Green Conservatory. This educational facility is to be built with his money in memory of his mother and her love of plants.

Gordon never married and he had no children. His only sibling, his brother Ron, died in 2010. Gordon is survived by his sisterin-law, Eleanor Green in Kirkland, and her children, his niece and nephews, Ron Green, Jr. in Bothell, Jan Hunter in San Diego, and Darrell Green in Redmond. He is also survived by his first cousin, Marjorie Olmsted in Mountlake Terrace, and her children David Olmsted in Edmonds, Paul Olmsted in Woodinville, Jan Fitzpatrick in Seattle, and Richard Olmsted in Seattle. All of them loved him and miss him very much. At a recent family gathering, he was remembered especially for his enthusiasm, his energy, his appreciation for natural beauty and the arts, his strong sense of gratitude, his keen intellect, and his hearty laugh.

At his request, there will be no public memorial service. Those wishing to honor his memory are invited to contribute to the Sarah Simonds Green Conservatory by contacting the Department of Advancement and External Relations at the University of Washington–Bothell. For the UW tribute to him, please see http:// www.bothell.washington.edu/development/thanks/green

It was a true team effort for the Cedar Park boys as nine different Eagles contributed to a 55-16 rout of Shoreline Christian at home last Friday night.

Trey Dreschel led all scorers with 11, followed

by Even Scholten with nine and Scottie Lin with eight.

Earlier in the week, the Eagles played in the Nooksack Valley Invitational, and split their two games, edging out Nooksack Valley 58-53 with a huge fourthquarter comeback before falling to Ferndale 50-43.

On Tuesday night, the Eagles fell just short against the league favorite Bellevue Christian Vikings, 50-48, putting up only eight points in the final quarter.

The loss dropped Cedar Park to 1-2 in 1A Emerald City League play and 4-6 overall.

Bothell held the Conquerors to just 10 points in the second quarter to open up a 39-27 lead at the break, before both teams lit up in the third, scoring 27 points each.

In the end, Bothell was able to hold onto its lead for the victory.

Guard Zach LaVine increased his league-leading average (25.9 points per game) by pouring in 32 for the Cougars, with Prince Lacey (17), Kellen Webster (14) and Perrion Callandret (13) also in double digits.

Tuesday night, the Cougars added another win as they took down Newport 61-52. In that game, LaVine had a game-high 24 and Callandret added 13.

The win put the Cougars above .500 at 5-4 on the season overall, including a 2-3 mark in 4A Kingco play.

The team continues with a cross-town rivalry matchup against Bellevue College Tournament champions Inglemoor on Friday night, at 8 p.m.
