Northshore church offers food and friendship

BY ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@bothell-reporter.com

Meeting people — really connecting with them — is what Becky and Ryan Kent are all about. And lending others a hand during tough times is a crucial aspect of these friendships.

“It’s in my blood. I want to go help people,” said Becky, a member of Cedar Park Northshore Church in Kenmore.

Becky, who went on several church missions to Mexico, Peru and Romania in high school to help in orphanages and a soup kitchen, was with her husband Ryan at the local church last Saturday morning to unveil its food bank, which will be open from 9 a.m. to noon each Saturday.

“This is a ministry we can

do in our hometown that means just as much as going overseas,” said Becky, the foodbank director.

Added Ryan: “We always (wanted) to be a part of something where we can help people in need. (We’re) able to make a difference and an impact in someone’s life, to help people maybe become closer to God through it. We knew we could do God’s will this way.

Unlimited potential can come from this.”

Families in need can sign up during food-bank hours to receive groceries twice monthly, or weekly if pregnant, disabled, age 55 or older or homeless. People need to provide identification (government ID, medical bill or utility bill) when [ more FOOD page 8]

Northshore teacher, students to receive environmental awards

BY ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@bothell-reporter.com

One teacher and a crew of sixth-grade students may have been singled out to receive King County Earth Heroes at School awards, but it turns out that school-wide environmental-conservation efforts catapulted these people into the spotlight.

At Skyview Junior High in Bothell, teacher Tom Nowak has spearheaded the compost program and salmon-release project, but students and staff members alike have been with him every step of the way.

Across the parking lot at Canyon Creek Elementary, the sixth-graders got the entire school on board with recycling programs through presentations, posters, videos and leadership by example in filling the bins in the cafeteria and classrooms.

Executive Dow Constantine will present awards to these Earth Heroes and a handful of others on April 26 at Maplewood Greens in Renton.

“These stewards of the environment are our heroes — for conserving

resources, protecting the environment and spreading the word about sustainable practices,” Constantine said.

“I am proud to recognize them for their hands-on commitment to the planet.”

SKYVIEW

Nowak helped get the compost program rolling last year after taking a cue from Leota Junior High, and notes they are now decreasing lunch waste by an average of 80 percent by eliminating liquid, recycling and food scraps from general solid waste.

Through this, they are minimizing the school district’s pick-up fees.

A $1,000 Parent Teacher Student Association grant funded bins and signs, and Cedar Grove employees collect the

compost after volunteers get it ready to go.

When Nowak was gone from school for three months on maternity leave, special-education teacher Stephanie Escott, her support staff and students picked up compost in classrooms.

“It’s empowering students, it’s helping the custodial staff and it’s building a community, where people know that they’re impacting the world,” Nowak said of the job-share. [ more HEROES page 10 ]

“No” votes led the way by 525 for Bothell’s proposed annexation after Snohomish County Elections released its first round of results at 8 p.m.

Tuesday in the special election.

At press time, there were 3,134 “no” votes (54.57 percent) to 2,609 “yes” votes (45.43 percent) submitted by residents of the North, East and West of Bothell Annexation (NEWBA) area in unincorporated Snohomish County.

“The ‘will’ of the people has been upheld once again by the voters in the NEWBA annexation area. A nearly 10-percent margin of victory clearly states the wishes of the people for less

government, less taxes and for superior local services,” said Bud NcCorchuk, treasurer for Citizens for Responsible Annexations.

In last November’s election, Bothell annexation failed by the count of 3,767 “no” votes to 3,359 “yes” votes.

“Our group worked very hard in providing the facts as it relates to the benefits of annexation for our families in the NEWBA area. We had to convince the voters that this was the right decision, and the opposition did a good job of confusing the voters again of the facts,” said Patrick LeDoux of Bothell YES.

Merun Subhas’ eyes light up when he chats about spelling and math. The 9-year-old Bothell boy’s voice also oozes with excitement when swimming, singing and dancing swing into the conversation.

The Shelton View Elementary third-grader is a well-rounded child, said his mother, Meena Pandian.

“Whatever he does, he’s pretty good. I think it’s inborn,” added his father, Arun Subhas, a programmer at Microsoft. The family, originally from

Chennai, India, has lived in Bothell for seven years.

The Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) recently honored Merun as one of the top young students in the nation after he shone on a rigorous, above-grade-level SCAT test given online to second- through eighthgrade students.

He was one of more than 50,000 students worldwide who participated in the CTY Talent Search; only 25 to 30 percent of students who participated were honored.

“We are so proud of our

CTY Talent Search honorees for their exceptional performance on these tests and we are thrilled to take this moment to recognize them for their academic achievements,” said Elaine Tuttle Hansen, executive director of CTY, based in Baltimore, Md. “Students aren’t the only ones who deserve this recognition, she added. “Our students wouldn’t be who they are today without the parents and educators who have worked so hard to help them develop their talents.”

BRIEFS BOTHELL CITY COUNCIL APPROVES $15M CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR CROSSROADS PROJECT

Bothell City Council approved a contract on April 10 with Guy F. Atkinson Construction for $15 million for the final phase of the Crossroads project. Located where state routes 522 and 527 and Bothell’s Main Street converge, the Crossroads project will improve traffic congestion and increase safety on a critical commute and freight corridor, according to the city of Bothell. More than 44,000 vehicles pass though this intersection daily.

The first two phases of the project were completed in 2010. Once this final phase is complete, SR 522 will be decoupled from Bothell’s Main Street and a portion of SR 522 will be moved a block south of where it currently is. The Park at Bothell Landing will then be extended to meet SR 522, creating better views and access to the park from downtown. The project will also free up additional downtown properties, which will be offered for sale later this year, and allow the historic Main Street to extend west, according to the city.

The city received four bids for the project. Construction on the final phase of the project will start in late May or early June and the project is expected to be

completed June 2014.

“We are pleased with the results of the bid process,” said Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe. “The winning bid was over $2 million less than originally estimated, demonstrating the advantages of moving forward with projects during a time when labor and materials are less expensive.”

DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY APPROVES KENMORE SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM

The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) has approved the city of Kenmore’s new shoreline master program.

Kenmore’s shoreline program will result in significant improvements in the protection, use, development and restoration of eight miles of shorelines and the water quality of Lake Washington, the Sammamish River, Swamp Creek and other waterways.

The new master program combines local plans for future shoreline development and preservation with new shoreline development ordinances and related permitting requirements.

“Kenmore’s shoreline master program helps protect the economic and environmental health of our waters. By working together, we are protecting our treasured shoreline resources for ourselves, as well as our children and future generations. Our shorelines make Washington a great place to live,” said Geoff Tallent, Regional Shorelands

and Environmental Assistance supervisor.

About 260 cities and counties statewide are in the process or soon will be updating or crafting their master programs, under the state’s 1972 voter-approved Shoreline Management Act. Shoreline master programs are the cornerstone of the act. The law requires cities and counties with regulated shorelines to develop and periodically update their locally-tailored programs to help minimize environmental damage to shoreline areas, reserve appropriate areas for wateroriented uses, and protect the public’s right to public lands and waters.

Kenmore brought diverse local interests to the table to work collaboratively. The shoreline master program process began with a thorough inventory of existing land-use patterns and environmental conditions.

Participants included waterfront property owners, scientists, nonprofit organizations and state

and local resource agency staff.

Mayor David Baker said, “We are pleased that the new Shoreline Master Program has received final approval. Kenmore is known as the city by the lake, and we see great value in protecting and preserving our shorelines, particularly along Lake Washington.”

Kenmore’s shoreline master program: • Provides shoreline regulations in one stop by integrating the city’s growth management planning and zoning, floodplain management and critical areas ordinances.

• Addresses protection of habitat and water quality through regulations that apply to shorelines, wetlands, and other critical areas in Kenmore.

Includes a restoration plan showing where and how voluntary improvements in water and upland areas can enhance the local shoreline environment.

[ MERUN from page 2] is “challenging and fun,” and would like to work in the engineering field when he grows up.

He recently placed first in the North Sound Foundation math bee in Seattle, and then finished in the top 20 at nationals in San Jose, Calif.

Pandian noted that Merun participated in the Bear Creek Elementary gifted program as a second-grader — under the tutelage of Stacey Robb — and transferred to Shelton View to continue his studies.

“Merun shows a strong ability to process math mentally.

He has been working two years above his grade level all year long. It continues to

amaze me that he is so accurate on unit tests,” said Shelton View EAP (English for academic purposes) teacher Sallie Hartman.

“He understands his math skills and he’s utilizing it properly,” Pandian added. “It’s (the ability) there, but the practice is also important.”

At the family’s Bothell home, Merun’s trophies dominate a shelf leading up to the stairway. There’s awards for vocabulary, math, chess and dancing contests.

“He tries out a lot of things — he won’t reject anything,” said Pandian, noting that after tackling the vocabulary and math bees, he’s ready for the science and brain bees.

“He’s a bee person.”

EDITORIAL

Don’t be a victim once — or twice Many of us have heeded police officers’ advice to make our vehicles less attractive to thieves.

Store your valuables out of sight or take them out of the car if you can. Do not leave purses or briefcases where potential thieves can see them.

Apparently, this may not be enough anymore.

The Eastside – including Bothell – has been hit with a series of motor-vehicle prowl and burglary incidents during the past few weeks.

Police believe several recent cases involving similar scenarios may indicate thieves are using a new strategy to burglarize homes.

Here’s the scenario: A person goes out to see a movie or eat at a restaurant and parks their car. A thief prowls their car and takes the person’s vehicle registration. Police believe the registration information is used to draw thieves to the unoccupied homes.

In one case, someone’s car was prowled while parked at the Woodinville Costco and then the thief burglarized their Bothell home, according to Bothell Police Department Sgt. Elmer Brown. Another victim’s car was prowled while parked in Woodinville, and then the thief burglarized their Kirkland home while it was unoccupied, said Kirkland Police Department Sgt. Rob Saloum.

Kenmore Police Department Chief Cliff Sether said there were no such incidents in

his city.

Redmond also recently had a string of these incidents. In one of the cases, the victim was a Medina resident, but their car was broken into while in Redmond.

In another case, a vehicle was broken into in the parking lot of the Regal Bella Bottega movie theater in Redmond and then the victim’s home in unincorporated King County just outside of Redmond was burglarized.

In a third incident, A Redmond resident’s car was prowled while in the parking lot of a Woodinville movie theater. While the victim’s home was not burglarized, Redmond police say they received a report of suspicious circumstances in that neighborhood, which may have been tied to the vehicle prowl.

Redmond police said they are aware of more incidents in at least nine neighboring jurisdictions, including Bellevue and Issaquah.

Protect yourself.

The best thing you can do is keep your vehicle registration information on your person and not in your vehicle, said Saloum. Go through all the contents of your car and make sure there is nothing with your home address or other identifying information on it.

Also, if you are a victim of a vehicle prowl, let police know if your registration information is missing so that they may make sure your home is safe.

That’s not a lot to do to protect yourself from becoming a victim — twice.

More than a year ago during a Bothell City Council meeting, the councilmembers engaged in a lively discussion about the value of the parcels known as The Boy Scout Property on the side of Maywood Hill in Bothell. The steep, wet acreage became a point of discussion thanks to the efforts of a local advocacy group known as HOW, Help Our Woods. For more than a decade, HOW has fought development of the 63.8 acres consisting of six parcels, and encouraged the city and community to save the forest for future generations and the wildlife living there.

The woods provide multiple benefits to the environment through air and water quality, ensure habitat for animals squeezed by development and give residents and visitors a beautiful Bothell.

Bothell’s City Council strives for fiscal responsibility to their taxpayers. Therefore, the lively discussion going on more than a year ago was about the use of taxpayer funds to match grants provided by the county or state. The council felt torn by a desire to preserve and protect a valuable Bothell asset and the need to use increasingly limited funding wisely and representative of its citizens.

MY TURN

From left, Bothell City Councilmember Patrick Ewing, Northshore School Boardmember Dawn McCravey, Bothell Mayor Mark Lamb and Help Our Woods president and founder Sandi Clement hand off their donations at a recent city-council meeting. Courtesy of Chapters Photography In an inspired moment, Mayor Mark Lamb stated that if all the 600-plus petition signers would follow his lead in donating, this debate would resolve itself. Councilmember Patrick Ewing was quick to embrace this challenge.

Northshore School Boardmember Dawn McCravey pledged to match Ewing’s donation at the break when an appropriate time for public comment occurred.

Our local representatives on the Bothell City Council and Northshore School Board deserve a hand for their unwavering dedication to a better

Bothell.

In the past year, HOW has received 501C3 status so matching funds could be donated by our community and the pledges made that night could be optimized. This status allows donations to be tax deductible and many companies will match the donation to HOW. The funds are dedicated to saving the forest and preserving habitat there. HOW echoes the sentiment of our city council to provide funding through community outreach and donations.

HOW recently partnered with the city of Bothell once again to apply for another King County Conservation Futures Fund grant. It has been successfully completed and filed, so the hard work of collecting matching funds begins.

HOW needs your donations to help make this dream a reality. It is our pledge to dedicate all collected funds to the purchase and revitalization of the forest. HOW is a nonprofit organization that exists solely for this purpose. We are the only nonprofit 501C3 organization able to collect donations for saving these woods.

Please send your tax-deductible donations to: • Help Our Woods 19803 108th Ave. N.E. Bothell, WA 98011 If your company has a matching-funds program on employee donations, HOW qualifies for those programs.

Students pound away on their birdhouses as Pete Klinefelter (below) watches. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter recycle your phones.”

The kids got to keep their birdhouse and a certificate for participating.

All the Home Depot employees were volunteering on their own time.

“It is not hard to get the volunteers,” said Home Depot manager Chris Durbin. “We want to get out and touch base with the community and give back to our customers. We always strive to go one step beyond what our customers expect.”

The expectation for Klinefelter is fun. He stresses that kids learn to build naturally with no power tools. All the wood materials are precut, but the kids have to figure out what pieces to use. Klinefelter said that his parents instilled his creativity by example.

“I built a boat when I was 13 and went out on Lake Washington,” said Klinefelter. “It sunk pretty fast because I used the wrong glue. But you have to try things.”

Klinefelter, who worked construction for 50 years, loves to work with kids.

“I was a Seafair clown in 1957,” said Klinefelter,

who drives 45 minutes from Index to the Home Depot to volunteer to lead the class. “I learned how to be a clown from J.P. Patches.”

Klinefelter’s loyalty is returned by his students, including one girl who has been attending the Home Depot class for five years. The idea to bring the class to the school came from two of Klinefelter’s loyal students — Juanita Elementary students Kaizen Mouw and Hannah Schleer.

“For the last two-anda-half years he has been getting me up at 7 a.m. on Saturdays, my only day to sleep in, to go to the workshop,” said Kaizen’s father Jordan Mouw, who has more birdhouses than he knows what to do with.

“It’s fun. I don’t mind at

More than 30 hammers pounded away with youthful fervor last Friday at the Juanita Elementary field house.

The incessant noise felt and sounded more like a freight train barreling through the open-air field house than a school art project.

About 50 students at a time, out of the 400 kids who participated, took their turn creating a birdhouse with the help of 10 volunteers from the Bothell Home Depot, 25 or so parents and one special conductor.

“There is a lot of effort that goes into this one hour,” said Pete Klinefelter, who has been running Pete’s Workshop on Saturday mornings at the Bothell Home Depot for more than a decade. “They select the nails, glue or whatever they need. It pulls the creativity out of the kids. It is just fun.”

Klinefelter — with a short white beard reminiscent of Santa in summer and wearing a painted white lab coat, giant tie, leather hat and goggles with a fake eyeball hanging off the lens to emphasize safety first — got the kids started by telling them about the project.

The free class at Home Depot teaches kids how to build small wood projects, such as bird houses, cars, hydroplanes and planter boxes. But this art project came to the kids at Juanita Elementary.

The supplies alone could have filled a boxcar.

“It’s really cool,” said fourth-grader Allison Lofquist. “I have been looking forward to this.”

QFC also donated birdseed and all the wood material were scraps from Home Depot’s lumber department.

“In the past, all this wood would just go into the garbage,” said Klinefelter. “Most of it comes from fencing.”

The event is also designed as an Earth Day event to teach about recycling.

“We learned that stuff made with plastic goes in the recycle,” said Lofquist. “You can even

all.”

Mouw and Sue Schleer, art docent director and Hannah’s mother, helped set up the event for Juanita Elementary.

“It is a good hands-on experience,” said Juanita Elementary principal Dana Stairs, who said that the kids had safety training for the event.

“They are surprisingly good with the hammers.”

Mouw helped Klinefelter set up his own Facebook page, “Pete’s Workshop for Kids,” where kids and parents can find out about the classes, see pictures and watch videos.

Klinefelter said that when he retired his wife told him to find something to do.

“I really don’t know what I would do if they eliminated my ‘job’,” said Klinefelter.

“The schools are cutting down so much.

There is so much out there to do and no one is doing it. I love it.”

And if the wide smiles and pride on the kids’ faces are any indication, Klinefelter’s job is secure.

Where you live may determine how healthy you are or can hope to be, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Researchers using a geographic information system (GIS) found that access to quality food outlets and opportunities to be physically active can make communities not only more attractive but also more healthy.

Both children and adults who live in areas that provide supermarkets within reasonable distance, recreational parks and safe sidewalks and bike paths have on average lower rates of obesity,

better what chances the local population has to live more healthily, the researchers said.

“To address this health crisis, attention must be focused on a key issue that lies at the core of the epidemic: The social inequities of obesity,” said Rear Admiral Susan Blumenthal, MD, MPA, a former U.S. Assistant Surgeon General.

“A significant body of scientific evidence links poverty with higher rates of obesity. Families with limited economic resources turn to food with poor nutritional quality because it is cheaper and more accessible. Lowincome families live in neighborhoods where it is dangerous to play outside, reducing opportunities for both children and adults to exercise. Instead of supermarkets, [lowincome] neighborhoods may have an abundance of fast-food retailers and corner stores that are stocked with products high in fat and low in nutrients. Families are often targeted by food marketers with advertisements encouraging the consumption of nutrientpoor foods, increasing the likelihood of adopting unhealthy dietary practices.”

diabetes and heart disease than those living in underserved neighborhoods, including so-called food deserts.

“The biggest difference we found in rates of obesity were in places where the environment was good for both nutrition and physical activity,” said Dr. Brian Saelens, professor of pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Research Institute and co author of the study report. “The rates [in the best places] were less than 8 percent. But if the nutrition and physical activity were not good, the rates went up to 16 percent.”

Although these findings should not come as a surprise, it is the first time that scientists have used geographic data to specifically investigate the causes of lifestyle-related health problems.

Up to now, most studies on the ever-rising obesity epidemic have been focusing on factors such as lifestyle, income, education and genetic preconditions.

Geographic differences should be used more often in the future to assess the connections between nutrition, physical activity and obesity. For instance, if we can count the numbers of grocery stores, convenient stores, fast food restaurants and recreational facilities in a particular area, we may be able to predict

other incentives, local governments find it hard to overcome the many obstacles they’re facing.

The so-called food deserts in many poor urban and rural areas persist because of lack of consumer demand (people don’t have the money to buy nutritious but pricey foods), high crime rates (and insurance costs) and transportation expenses (to remote areas).

An area is officially considered a food desert when it has no supermarkets within 1 mile in an urban setting and within 10 miles in a rural environment. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that nearly 25 million Americans live in food deserts.

Social welfare programs such as food stamps bring only limited relief because of geographic hindrances.

According to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), a quarter of all food stamps recipients do not have easy access to supermarkets. High gas prices and lack of private or public transportation only worsen the situation.

Obviously, not all or even many of these conditions can be changed overnight. However, a few small steps in the right direction can go a long way.

Communities have taken initiatives all over the country to facilitate more local farmers markets and sales outlets for urban farms where fresh foods are available at affordable prices. Achieving better “walkability” has become a goal in cities and towns of all sizes. With greater awareness, good will and some imagination, we all can make a difference for ourselves and our neighborhood.

Do you suffer from fatigue, eczema, asthma, chronic infections, dark under eye circles, gas and bloating, bowel issues?

You could be suffering from a food reaction. It is believed that 60-70 percent of Americans, healthy or sick, suffer from symptoms associated with food reactions. Food reactions, whether allergic or intolerance, are the leading cause of leaky gut syndrome. Leaky gut syndrome also causes food reactions leading to a vicious cycle that the body is unable to recover from.

There are two types of food reactions, allergic and intolerance/sensitivity. Allergic reactions to food evoke an immune response. An immune response could include hives, difficulty breathing, nausea, diarrhea, intestinal cramping, chest pain, runny nose, and swelling of the airways to the lungs.

Food intolerances occur when there are lack of enzymes to digest food or food irritates the digestive system, which then causes an intestinal response. When a food eaten irritates the intestinal lining, the resulting symptoms include nausea, stomach pain, heartburn, cramping, gas, headaches, irritability/nervousness, diarrhea and vomiting.

Both types of responses lead to increased intestinal inflammation, damage, and permeability, leading to leaky gut syndrome.

What is leaky gut syndrome you ask?

Leaky gut syndrome is when the intestinal lining is more permeable or porous than it should be. When the intestine is constantly offended by foods that are irritating, it begins to produce mucous to protect itself. This protective mechanism is also the leading cause of the damage. The increased mucous results

in not only decreased nutrient absorption and malnutrition but inflammation as well. It is this inflammation that breaks down the barrier between intestinal cells, allowing particles that are too large and not properly processed to enter the blood stream.

This is when food reactions occur; either the immune system mounts a response, or the intestines respond to the irritation. As you can see, the cyclical relationship between the two poses a challenge to get rid of the uncomfortable symptoms.

Eighty percent of Americans get their calories from the same 11 foods. These foods are often the most likely to cause a response, such as dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, peanuts, corn, and potatoes. By iden-

tifying whether or not any foods are affecting your body can help to decrease your risk for many conditions associated with inflammation. These conditions include eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, asthma, psoriasis, and other immune conditions.

Treatment goals include identifying the cause (offending foods), removing the obstacles to cure, reducing inflammation, addressing weakened systems, and reintroducing intestinal flora.

[ heroes from page 1] During the recent salmon-release project at North Creek, 65-70 students let 240 Coho salmon fry free into their new habitat. Students received the fry from the Friends of Issaquah Salmon Hatchery (FISH) and they hatched at school in mid-January.

Members of the school Green Team and others then measured the speed of the North Creek stream, the temperature of the water and the amount of oxygen, nitrates and phosphates that was present.

“We are not alone, humans are pivotal pieces, but we are interconnected with the world around us,” Nowak said of the salmon project, adding that it’s important in “getting kids out of the classroom and seeing science.”

Skyler Grant, a seventhgrader, said the two projects are “interesting and fun, and you get to see other people working together.”

Added fellow seventhgrader Marianna Gilbert: “It’s really important because we feel we need to give back, and this is our way of saying ‘Thank you.’

CANYON CREEK

It’s been a passing of the

recycling torch from last year’s sixth-graders to this year’s bunch, according to teachers Chris Brush and Rodeen Peterson. And in turn, the students are mentoring the younger Canyon Creek kids in the ways of recycling, which makes it a team effort all

the way.

“The end result was they reduced the garbage amount by 50 percent,” Brush said.

“It’s cool to see them because it’s a real project for them — it’s not a worksheet. It’s something where they could affect

change in their environment — right now — and they have some power, and they don’t get a lot of that in their lives.”

Added Peterson, as she watched students dump items into the correct recycling bins in the cafeteria last week: “We’re

trying to teach these kids to be responsible citizens.

They’re very excited, and they really are trying to be very conscientious and they’re trying to think of new ways (to recycle).”

She praised sixth-graders Cameron Bellusci and Aqib Rasheed for learning that Capri Sun drink packets can be recycled by the company that produces them; they mail the pouches off to Kraft Foods and have raised more than $100.

“It’s really great. We want to organize it so it goes in the right spot,” Bellusci said.

Added Rasheed: “To see how many kids are contributing to this wonderful recycling program is just awesome.”

Fellow sixth-grader Kylie Monson said that students have come a long way in making recycling a part of each day.

“I watch every day how people come up and they’re recycling, and at the beginning of the year, they would waste a lot more,” she said. “Now that they’re aware of the fact that they need to recycle, it’s pretty cool.”

Bothell churchgoers participate in Good Friday Cross Walk

ring to the Holy Bible’s Book of John, 3:16-17.

The group also stopped at several churches during the trek. Their first stop was at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in Kirkland, where Pastor Scott Smith taught about when Jesus accepted the cross.

Church members also stopped at the Juanita Community Church to hear Pastor Brandon Brazee speak about Simon of Cyrene’s help carrying the cross, and the group ended at their home church, the Eastside Foursquare Church at 100th Avenue Northeast in Bothell, to hear Pastor Vick speak about how Jesus died on the cross.

Participants planted the cross on the stage for that evening’s Good Friday service.

Nearly 200 members of the Eastside Foursquare Church walked a large wooden cross more than two miles from Juanita Beach Park in Kirkland to the Bothell church on April 6.

The second annual Good Friday Cross Walk was to honor Good Friday, a religious holiday observed by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

“It’s a nice, quiet, humble way to get our message out,” said church Pastor D.J. Vick.

“It’s an opportunity for us to remember what Jesus endured for us as Christians, but also to communicate that message to the community that God loves us and Jesus came to die for us and restore our relationship with God.” During the walk, church members took turns carrying the 10foot, 80-pound wooden cross, which was constructed by church member Mark Allen.

“We have no agenda,” said Chris Peppler, community outreach pastor, adding that the group’s message was to show the freedom that Christ offers.

A church member came up with idea for the Good Friday Cross Walk last year. Vick said church officials thought it was a great idea and the event generated a “phenomenal response,” with nearly 350 people participating in the walk along the same route.

Before the walk, Jeff Vileta spoke about how when Jesus carried the cross through the streets of Jerusalem, he was viewed by many as a condemned man. However, he carried the cross for us, said Vileta, refer-

Bothell Cougars are ‘hitting the ball like crazy’ Fastpitch team features two college signees: Heyer and Rose

COACH LUCKEY’S CORNER: On Heyer — “Kendra is an athlete (she’s lettered in basketball, soccer and softball). She didn’t just letter, she played really well.

She’s a great person to be around, she’s a competitor, she loves to laugh, she’s just been a joy to this program.

She’s one of the reasons that we really want to do well — she’s really been a dedicated Bothell High School athlete.”

BY ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@bothell-reporter.com

Just like they do on the fastpitch field, Bothell High’s girls support each other when they’re up to bat at the interview plate.

Last Thursday at practice, seniors Kendra Heyer and Savannah Rose and junior Sammy Morris shared the load while describing their Cougar team to the Reporter. They all fed off each other’s comments and often finished each other’s sentences when talking fastpitch and friendship.

Fourth-year Bothell coach Rob Luckey has an insightful and talented crew on his hands.

Heyer, an all-4A Kingco center fielder last year and La Salle University (Philadelphia, Pa.) signee, notes that Luckey describes the team as having a “calm intensity,” which has gotten them off to a 8-3 overall start at press time.

“We’re not an overly loud team in games, we stay focused and we’re really good at just calming down when we need to,” said Heyer, adding that the team has bonded well and is full of laughter, too.

“That will take you

Bothell High players, from left, Sammy Morris, Kendra Heyer and Savannah Rose stand strong as some of their teammates goof around in the background. ANDY NYSTROM, Bothell-Kenmore Reporter farther than any type of skill will — team chemistry. And we’ve got the skill to back it up, so it’s just even that much better.”

Added Morris, the team’s lefty leadoff hitter and shortstop: “We’re not getting overconfident and (we’re) keeping our cool, even though we are a good team. We keep it pretty intense, but (don’t) freak ourselves out with too much pressure. We stay focused towards our goals, but we still have a good time.”

The team goal, according to Heyer, is to make it to the state tournament. She said the Cougars have a good chance at doing that since they possess 11 varsity returners

and only graduated one starter from last year’s 15-9 squad.

Bothell’s top returners, along with Heyer, Morris and Rose (pitcher, infielder), are juniors Camille Weisenbach (four homers this year), Arista Honey (catcher), Allie Vick (left fielder) and Ama Magalei (first baseman); and sophomores Kelsie Morgan (second baseman) and Julia Warner (pitcher).

Junior Abi Bittle and sophomore Kat Balyeat round out the pitching crew this season.

“I just think we’ve got a lot to offer, we’ve got a really deep lineup,” Heyer said.

“If one person gets hurt, we’re not in trouble. We’ve got plenty of people to back us up,

and I think that’s really hard to come by for a high-school team.”

Added Rose, a Chapman University (Orange, Calif.) signee on playing for Bothell: “The girls have been really encouraging, really welcoming.

It’s a lot of fun having all the different grades on varsity.”

Thus far, the girls have been making an impact in all aspects of the game, especially at the plate, Luckey said.

“We’ve been hitting the ball like crazy,” he said. In the first five Kingco games, Heyer (.667), Morris (.625), Weisenbach (.588) and Honey (.563) have led the way.

“And we’re playing some really good defense,” said Luckey,

On Rose — “She carried us as a sophomore in the (pitcher’s) circle, she battled for us last year at third base and in the circle.

She’s a hitter, she’s a competitor. She’s playing through shin splints, and I’m so proud of her for coming out here and not complaining.”

(Heyer played through a sprained ankle this season.)

“Those are the kind of kids that we look up to. They want to leave here with a bang.”

On Morris — “She played JV freshman year for about a day: We saw right away that she was just a really strong athletic girl, and she’s been in our leadoff spot ever since. Her on-base percentage is about .700.

She’s just a threat. She is literally the battery that gets us going.”

adding that the girls are playing in honor of Tim Driver, former assistant coach who passed away last year.

“We have T-shirts that say, ‘We are Driven.’ It’s tough, but we still talk about him and think about him, that’s been our motivating saying this year.”

IHS fastpitch up to bat with positivity

BY MEGAN STEVENS Special to the Reporter

Inglemoor High freshman Lauren Brown waits for her pitch during a recent 4A Kingco game. MEGAN STEVENS, Special to the Reporter

Every season has its ups and downs, but it’s how a team responds to those triumphs and failures that defines its eventual success.

Despite having lost two of its last three games at press time, the Inglemoor High varsity fastpitch team has remained positive and looks to the future. With a current record of 7-5, the girls have a strong chance of reaching the playoffs this year.

“A lot of our goals are long term,” senior shortstop and captain Taylor Peacocke said, “but we’re on track. We’ve had some tough losses, but we should definitely go to the playoffs with a good seed. We just need to stay hot throughout the season.”

Much of the success of the season has been attributed to the addition of three freshmen. With

no junior-varsity team last year and a large number of positions to fill, the team was taken aback with the level of talent they received.

“The strength of the team is driven by the seniors,” assistant coach Mike Brown said, “but five of our nine home runs have been hit by our freshmen. They’ve really been surprising us.”

While some of the freshmen have been playing for most of their lives, some have just a few seasons under their belt.

“Getting them acclimated to how we play softball has been difficult, but they are doing a really good job,” junior first baseman Holly Sandborg said. “In a lot of ways, we’ve gone over our expectations —some of the freshmen are just blowing our minds. These girls are going to carry this team into the future and I’m happy for them. ” In addition to teaching

the new players the tricks of the trade, the team has been striving toward stronger communication on the field.

“We’ve really been working on picking each other up and staying positive,” Peacocke said.

Learning how their teammates react to different situations has allowed the players to improve their bonds with one another, as well as advance them as a team.

“If someone makes an error, you need to know how to pick them up and get them past the fact that they aren’t doing well,” Sandborg said. “Everybody has their own sense of leadership and does their part to help.”

Now that the season is at its midpoint, the team will be facing some of its most difficult games as the 4A Kingco tournament draws nearer.

“There are a lot of strong teams in Kingco this year,

but our chances of getting to state are really high,” junior pitcher Alyson Harrington said.

“We just have to take it step by step.”

More than ever, the next two months will be vital for the overall success of the team. With games every few days and a strong 4A Kingco division, there isn’t much room for error.

“We’re no longer just a group of people who play softball, we’re a team,” senior outfielder and captain Shelby Johnson said.

“Now we just need to stay focused and be consistent in our performance.”

Spirits are high on Inglemoor’s softball field, and not without reason.

They are prepared to face conference rivals in their final eight regular-season games and more than ready to welcome the challenges that the postseason will bring.

Until then, it’s just one game at a time.

In the midst of a glacial economy and skyrocketing tuition costs, it seems logical that students and schools would devote greater time and resources in developing strategies to pay for college.

They aren’t.

Every April, students receive crisp letters of ac-

ceptance from universities, the culmination to years of hard work and dedication.

Inglemoor High does quite a lot to prepare students for going to college, but when it comes to paying for it, there’s room for improvement.

To graduate, students are expected to have a fiveyear plan for life after high school. They are expected to have explored career options and to have looked into further education.

They are not expected to know how to write a resume, to have a plan to pay

for college, or to be fiscally responsible in any way.

In short, students may be able to get into college, but they may not have a practical plan to pay for it.

Left to their own devices, Inglemoor High seniors came up with a range of schemes.

“I’m gonna win the lottery,” Seaver Radovich said.

Radovich later said he’d been joking, but admitted he did not have a clear plan as to how he would be paying for college.

Anthony Leach said he’d pay for tuition through “fi-

nancial aid, my own work and my parents,” but when pressed to give further detail, he remained silent, seemingly at a loss over what to say.

Senior Kendal Crawford had the most detailed plan.

“At the college I’m going to,” Crawford said, “they have a financial counselor.

I’m going to do a workstudy program.”

The financial-aid process is ambiguous at best. Crawford only knew about the work-study option offered at her college after doing additional research, not because of any information provided

by Inglemoor. The school does little to advertise opportunities beyond posting scholarships and hosting a financial-aid night every year.

With regards to fiscal responsibility, the outlook isn’t much better. Some

English classes teach students how to write resumes and basic ways to apply for jobs and pay for college; other students leave high school never having learned how to do any of this.

“We, as public education in general, fall short,” Inglemoor counselor Bryan McNeil said. “There are no state requirements for such things like finance or business class. And, as you know, state requirements drive such things.”

Growing budget cuts over the past several years have forced shrinkages in many programs previously offered. Students enrolled in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, for instance, have their schedules packed so tightly that now they are left unable to take classes that might help them prepare for their financial

future.

“I was never taught financial planning,” IB Diploma senior Shannon Barnes said. “My mom had to teach me last year how to balance a check book.”

By not requiring financial-planning classes, the state and the school district are missing out on a valuable opportunity to teach teens fiscal responsibility.

Come this April, most teens will receive welcome letters of acceptance. The vast majority of those presently finding their college dreams realized, however, will be left wondering how to pay for this new-found expense.

It’s understandable that time and budget constraints make it difficult to teach such classes and that students should be expected to seek out the information themselves, but the reality is that they most likely will not and shouldering them with future debt this early in life is an arguably unfair burden to place on an 18-year-old.

The school district should reconsider its policy toward financialplanning programs and give every student the basic education and resources to pay for college, get a job and make it through this process alive.
