“BRAC” grant, have traditionally funded the bulk of the cost of regional bridge replacements. Karlinsey said that those grants traditionally are split 80-20 percent with the lower amount being paid locally. “There are no guarantees that the city will

Police shoot man in Bothell near Wayne Golf Course BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ crodriguez@bothell-reporter.com
An Edmonds man who was allegedly suicidal was injured after an officer opened fire at his pickup truck in Bothell on Friday afternoon. He was treated at the scene near the Bothell/
Kenmore border for unspecified injuries and transported to Harborview Medical Center. The shooting occurred after the man’s wife called police around 1:30 p.m. on Friday to report that her husband was suicidal, said Mountlake Terrace police Cmdr. Don Duncan. She
said her husband left their Edmonds home in his pickup truck. Police located the truck near SR 104 and I-5 and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. A low-speed chase ensued when the driver would not stop, said Duncan. After approximately half a mile

King County urges residents to get flu shot King County Public Health Department officials are encouraging people to vaccinate now to protect against the flu. Flu season can begin as early as October. Health experts recommend that everyone six months and older get the flu vaccine, especially people at high-risk for severe influenza, including children 6 months through their fifth birthday, pregnant women, adults age 50 years and older, people
with chronic health problems, certain neurological diseases and extreme obesity. Household members, care givers and other close contacts of high-risk people should get vaccinated to prevent them from spreading influenza. Vaccine supply is widely available in King County. Flu shots are available at doctors’ offices, clinics, pharmacies and other providers. Some health care providers and pharmacies may also have FluMist, the nasal spray vaccine. As always, healthy habits can limit the spread of contagious illnesses, including the flu. Cover coughs and sneezes, wash hands often, avoid close contact with ill people and stay home from work, school and other public settings when ill.

The city has begun researching options for funding but it is not yet known when the west Sammamish River Bridge will need to be replaced. “We really need to know how long we have on the bridge,” said Karlinsey.
Kenmore vehicle fee In November, the board will hold a special meeting to discuss adopting a resolution to implement a $20 vehicle fee. If passed, the resolution would not take effect for six months. Revenue generated from the vehicle fee will help fund pavement preservation throughout the city. Prior to Monday’s meeting, city staff met with the King County Bridge Inspection group to discuss their recent inspection of the Sammamish River Bridges on 68th Ave. N.E. There are two separate structures for north and south bound traffic. The “younger” east bridge’s condition is acceptable. The west bridge, constructed in 1938, continues to age and shows more signs of wear. Currently, the city is working with King County to perform the following for the west bridge: a new load rating study, an update of the bridge monitoring plan and additional analysis of
the pilings and the superstructure (bridge deck and girders) in order to create a short-term maintenance plan. King County is anticipated to provide a findings report during the first quarter of 2013. Once the information becomes available, staff will provide an update on the findings to the board at a public meeting.
Grants for local transportation projects The Puget Sound Regional Council’s Executive Board approved the 2013-2016 Regional Transportation Improvement Program on Oct. 25, which will bring $7.9 billion to planned projects in King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. Bothell and Kenmore are slated to receive $5.7 million alone. “Securing federal transportation funding for communities in the region is one of the key roles of the Puget Sound Regional Council,” said Commissioner Josh Brown, PSRC president. “These projects are advancing a better system that gets people and goods where they need to go, provides transportation choices, and helps grow jobs in the region.” The projects are funded with federal, state and local funds, including recent federal grants awarded through the PSRC. The Bothell area, incorporated and nonincorporated, to receive grant money are the Bothell-Everett Highway and I-405 interchange paving project ($676,000), the N.E. 195th Street and
120th Ave. N.E. corridor overlay project in North Creek ($350,000) and the SR 522 multimodal corridor phase 3 improvements project from 83rd to Wayne Curve near the Bothell and Kenmore border ($4 million). The Bothell-Everett Highway interchange project is designed to rehabilitate the existing pavement to preserve the structural integrity of the roadway. The total cost of the program is $3.3 million. Kenmore will receive needed funds for the Juanita Drive N.E./68th Ave. N.E. asphalt overlay project from N.E. 143rd Street to N.E. 175th Street ($636,725). The project will reshape approximately 9,000 feet of pavement. It will provide appropriate traffic control and field inspection during construction, and re-establish pavement markings when the paving is complete. The total estimated cost for the project is $1.2 million. “It is a big win for us,” said Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey. Karlinsey said that work that was done to secure the money was done before he became city manager earlier this year. “It is competitive for those grants,” said Karlinsey. “They had to make the case for it.” He said that Kenmore’s road rating study prioritized the city’s needs and helped in getting the grant.

Kenmore toll bridge is a scare tactic, diversion The Kenmore Council’s proposal for a local toll bridge over the Sammamish Slough is a scare tactic designed to deflect public attention away from the new tax increase on car tabs. Federal funding is available for 80 percent of the bridge replacement. See the State DOT local bridge program at: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ LocalPrograms/Bridge/Funding.htm. There is no need for a toll going in over the slough. The real issue the council is ducking is why do we need a car-tab tax increase that only pays $300,000 a year for roads? We currently pay $2.3 million a year in “annual road tax and property tax” and the city council still has unused taxing authority of $1.3 million per year with which they can increase our property and utility taxes without a public vote. The car-tabs tax is expensive to administer, only brings in $300,000 per year, and due to complex state regulations the money cannot be used on many of our local roads where it is needed. The truth is that the council has diverted the $2.3 million in annual road tax to pay for city right in Texas! administrative operations and does not want to Vote for Rosemary McAullife! share the money with taxpayers in the form of road safety and economic development improve- Christy Steckler, 1st Legislative District ments.

If the legislature is allowed to consider and discuss school reforms, any new program or policy no doubt will provide a uniquely Washington state solution to the problem of underperforming schools and teachers. At this point Washington is one of a very few states which have not allowed some of the new experimental programs which may improve student outcomes. Washington students need to be smarter and better educated to compete in today’s world economy. State taxpayers pay too much money for public schools not to expect a full examination of student, teacher and school performance. Due to pressure from special interests, Sen. Rosemarie McAuliffe has blocked that conversation.
Lytton Smith, Bothell
McAuliffe’s scare tactics will not work McAuliffe’s campaign is portraying her opponent, Dawn McCravey, as this crazed woman who is going to overturn abortion. That isn’t going to happen. McCravey will go with what the majority of Washingtonians want on these very sensitive issues. McCravey is running because her strength is in education, which is what the majority of our state budget goes toward and the 1st District is in need of a senator that can do it right in the education department. McAuliffe’s scare tactics are a distraction from McAuliffe’s education record, which has plummeted since she’s been chairing it in Olympia. Check Dawn’s record with the Northshore School Board and you’ll see why you’ll want her to represent you in Olympia. And to help cement your decision, if you put aside the issues, just know that every dog or kid that knows Dawn, loves her. You know dogs are a good judge of character, so just that should help you make the right decision for your next 1st District senator!

Attack ad against McCravey is ridiculous I just received a political postcard lambasting state senate candidate, and Bothell resident, Dawn McCravey for her “ties” to the oil industry. [ more LETTERS page 5 ]
November 2, 2012 [5]
www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com [ Letters from page 4]
The ad features a rubber duck drenched in oil and warns that Dawn will prioritize the interests of “big oil” over the interests of the people she represents. The attack is funded by labor unions who dislike her stand on charter schools and her opposition to the system of basing teacher retention on seniority rather than performance. It is also utterly ridiculous! Dawn lives in a middle class neighborhood in Bothell, not exactly the domicile one might expect from an imperious oil baron! She has worked tirelessly for causes she believes in, including improving education for all students in Washington State. Frustrated by the culture of the local school board, which was routinely ignoring parent concerns, Dawn ran for a position on the board and won. She then proceeded to shake up the insular culture, turning the board into a far more responsive, and effective, organization. On environmental issues, she has actively campaigned in favor of environmental issues, like saving the North Creek Forest. Basically, the unions dug up the scandalous tidbits that her husband is employed by an energy company and that her father started a small business in Texas, trying to turn them into a campaign issue. What they have done instead is reveal how little they have to say!
Teri Patrick, Bothell
Sen. McAuliffe listens to constituents’ concerns I’d like to break free of the negative campaigning that has recently surfaced in the 1st Legislative District and explain in detail the reasons that I support the re-election of Senator Rosemary McAuliffe. First, she has consistently supported the teachers and students in our public schools. She helped make the new four-tier teacher evaluation system possible. It provides procedures for teachers to improve their skills, rather than just getting a “pass” or “fail” grade with no feedback as to how to improve the quality of their teaching. She has championed innovation in the schools, so that all student learning styles can be accommodated within the public-school system. She has worked for the improvement of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) instruction in our schools up to and including colleges and universities. The goal is to provide in-state jobs for our graduates and employees for our technology companies, who say there are not enough qualified local applicants. Her efforts made the construction of the new science building at the UW Bothell and Cascadia Community College campus possible, thereby providing local construction jobs now and future educational opportunities for our students.
Sen. McAuliffe is also a strong advocate for early childhood learning and has been the chair of the Education Committee in the State Senate for many years. She has the valuable experience we need so that we can move to fully fund and vastly improve the quality of public education for all students in our state, from ages 3-23. And, finally, another reason I am voting to re-elect Sen. McAuliffe is that she listens to her constituents. If you bring up an issue that she is not completely familiar with she will study it, consult with colleagues, and respond to your concerns. I personally have experienced her willingness to listen to my concerns and agree with my conclusions on two separate occasions. Sen. McAuliffe has a proven track record of service to the 1st Legislative District, and we need to keep her on the job, for our benefit and the benefit of our children. Please join me in voting to return Sen. McAuliffe to Olympia for another four years.
Marcia Stedman, Bothell
Local teachers endorse McAuliffe Rosemary McAuliffe is endorsed by Northshore, Lake Washington, Edmonds and other local teachers because she shares their commitment that every child be taught by a dedicated and highly skilled teacher. I teach junior high, and I
am excited by the new evaluation system that we are in the process of implementing. This new system will give our strongest teachers the recognition they deserve and hold all teachers and principals accountable to high standards. Teachers and principals who don’t meet these new higher standards will be given help to improve and terminated if they do not. I simply don’t understand the charges made by Dawn McCravey when she says that Rosemary McAuliffe blocked reform in Olympia. Rosemary was instrumental in bringing about this smart and tough new evaluation system. She sponsored the legislation that created it, and Rosemary worked with people across the whole state to bring it into practice. Teachers and principals are being trained now to implement it. We need to send Rosemary back to Olympia so she can continue to help us implement this promising new teacher and principal evaluation system reform.
Judy Patneaude, Woodinville
Northshore School District needs a Board of Directors I cannot reconcile the fact that a school board member firmly supports charter schools. It alarms me to think that this same person may be elected as our state senator this November. Dawn McCravey, a Director on the Northshore School District’s
Board, is a champion for charter schools which is a direct attack on our public school system and the quality of education we can provide to all children. A director on the board of a public school district like Dawn McCravey should not promote the creation of publicly-funded independently-managed schools (basically private schools funded by our limited tax dollars). If I-1240 passes, parents or teachers in a school will be able petition to have their school converted to a charter school. Those families and teachers who do not wish their school to become a charter would need to find another school to attend. Where would they go? If a school converts to a charter, the school district will turn the school over for full use by the c harter. The district will not receive rent for the building, but it will be responsible for paying for major repairs of a charter school within the district. Where would the additional needed funds come from to maintain the charter schools? Teachers at the charter school would not necessarily by state certified. An appointed board to manage the school would not be bound by any state or district policies or rules. How can Director McCravey be in favor of such a plan? If students leave their home schools to attend a charter school they will take all the state funds and local levy dollars associated with them. This will leave their home school to operate with less dollars to pay its usual expenses. Charter schools will undermine
the school system that voters elected Director McCravey to support and improve. I hope that Candidate McCravey’s position has caused concern within the Northshore School District administration as much as it has caused me to question her qualifica tions to represent the interests of all children attending our public schools. A board position requires an individual who is fully committed to our public education system. Instead of fighting to fully-fund the present system, Candidate McCravey is asking voters to send her to Olympia to dismantle it. I am deeply disturbed that she is a voting member of our school board, given her support of charter schools and her candidacy for senator to make it happen.
Jill Reifschneider, Kenmore
Who is paying for McCravey I started wondering who was paying for all the commercials and postcards that Dawn McCravey is sending out, so I checked the Washington Public Disclosure Commission web page and found that Stacy Shusterman, the CEO of the Samson Energy Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma, just put $25,000 into funding the Stand for Children postcards attacking Rosemary McAuliffe. What is an out-of-state company that drills for oil and natural gas doing putting that kind of money into a local campaign?

Part of a construction project on the University of Washington Bothell campus cuts into a walkway. MATT
dropped from 17 percent in 2011 to 12 percent this year. A bigger drop of 8 percent was seen between 2009 (26 percent) and 2010 (18 percent). The school saw dramatic growth from its first year in 2007 to 2008 of 22 percent. It jumped 4 percent from year two to year three. Campus housing has grown to meet the changes in student demand. UW Bothell opened Campus View apartments to students this year. Together with the existing Husky Village, the campus currently houses more than
275 students. “The good news is that we have leased an adjacent building that has 30,000 square feet,” said University of Washington Bothell spokesperson Richard Penny. “That will come on board next summer or fall.” That building is located across from Husky Village. The space will be used to centralize student services and to make more classroom space available elsewhere on campus. Penny said that University officials hope to include a food services facility as well. “We also hope to expand housing even more but we do not have any plans yet,” said Penny. With so many students and the rapid expansion, the school is still ahead of transportation issues. “We still have adequate parking and encourage students to use other transportation options,” said Penny, noting rapid transit and biking is en-
couraged. King County leads the way when the student population is broken up by county residence. King County has 60 percent of the student population, while Snohomish has 30 percent. A total of 39 percent of resident undergraduate students receive financial aid through UW’s Husky Promise program and 23 percent are eligible for federal aid. There are 139 students that are U.S. veterans or eligible for veterans benefits. The incoming freshman class totals 670. Applications to UW Bothell increased by 13 percent from the previous year. The incoming freshman are split evenly between males and females. The top feeder high schools include Kamiakin, Mariner, Juanita, Bothell and Inglemoor. There are 651 new transfer students beginning at UW Bothell this fall, a 3.3 percent increase from last year.

the sediment at the bottom of the lake causing dioxin contamination. KAN seeks to be a place for organizations such as PERK and residents to come together and have dialog with the city and other public entities to discuss the issues. KAN even raised enough money to hire its own scientist, Greg Wingard, to study the contamination. The downtown core has caught the attention of many residents and was the main focus of a meeting last night at 7 p.m. at the Kenmore library. The city purchased the land that is just to the west of city hall, known as Kenmore Village, a few years ago and is attempting to sell and redevelop it as a downtown core. Kenmore Camera is slated to take over what would be the anchor position in the development but many residents are not happy with the process. “They talked to Kenmore Camera behind closed doors and wouldn’t tell us what was going on,” said Isaacs, who is a real estate agent. “No one in town thinks it is a bad idea, it is just how they do it.” “They want it done as quick as possible and get it off their books.

Kenmore Action Network The Kenmore Action Network meets at the begining of each month at the Kenmore library. It is designed to be a forum for residents to discuss issues and ideas with city leaders. Ideas and concerns can be sent to KenmoreFeedback@ gmail.com place to hang out and meet other people from Kenmore but we need to do it right.” KAN currently has 60 unofficial members from the community. The organization has been effective in its goal to spur communication as council members, Mayor David Baker and Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey attend the meetings. “We want you to come into our meetings and we will hold you accountable,” said Isaacs. Karlinsey said that the group has a good following and that city officials have an opportunity to use the organization as another communication conduit to residents.
“They are a good group of good people,” said Karlinsey. “I don’t know that they are purely representative of Kenmore but they have been very helpful to me.” KAN has a Facebook page and a yahoo group with tons of information as well. One issue that Isaacs tries to stay away from in KAN meetings is the past. “Everyone wants to complain about the past but we have to move forward,” said Isaacs. “People don’t get it. We have to work on the future.” “I want people in the city to give us feedback about what they want in the downtown core,” said Isaacs. “People can email us or even send letters to the editor to the Kenmore Reporter.” KAN’s email account, at KenmoreFeedback@gmail. com, is set up so that residents can express their ideas on city issues to the organization, which will then bring those ideas to city officials during the monthly meeting. Isaacs said that he would like to put together a survey on city issues for residents in the near future. The next KAN meeting will take place in early December.

Need help buying or selling your home?
Tom Berg • Windermere - Realtor 13901 NE 175th Street Suite 100 • Woodinville 98072 206-579-8137 tberg.withwre.com
“5 acres East of Woodinville”
Q/A | with Tom Berg did you get started in the real estate busines? Q How A :
: Like most realtors, I had a previous career. As the owner of a Landscape design and construction firm in Woodinville, I had been working with homeowners and living on the Eastside since 1979 so my career didn’t change much. I have no employees now but continue to help Eastside homeowners decide what to do with their homes which is what I’ve always enjoyed doing. When I sold the Landscape business my office simply moved across the street to Windermere in Woodinville.
Q
:
Do you work with home buyers and sellers?
A
: Yes, I work with both buyers and sellers and in fact many of my clients are both. They sell their current home since it no longer suits their needs and then I help them find a new home the does. Peoples lives change and so do their housing needs.
Q Is it a good time to buy or sell? A :
: It’s a good time to buy since home prices are still quite low although prices seem to have stabilized and even risen in some areas and interest rates are very low. For each percentage point rates increase you can buy 10% less house so I believe that one can get their best home value by purchasing a home now. Also rentals are difficult to find and rental rates are often about what ones mortgage payment would be. I found a home for a client last year and her mortgage paynent was less than what she had been paying for rent and of course she now had her interest deduction for the IRS. Todays buyer must be dilligent since there are about 40% fewer listings than a year ago and more buyers looking. Many homeowners are reluctant to sell now since their home is worth much less now than a few years ago but they must remember that the home they will be buying
- Wo o d i n v i l l e -
is also worth much less than it was a few years ago so now would be a great time to sell and buy the home of your dreams.
are home buyers greatest concerns today? Q What A :
: They want good value and a house that suits their current needs but I believe their greatest concern is that the home they purchase will go down in market value and they will lose equity. In the past, buyers felt that their new home purchase was guaranteed to increase in market value and the last few years showed that this was not necessarily so. I advise my clients that homes are not a short term investment but a long term investment that will provide a home for them and their family and they should expect to be in their home for at least 5 years to have a good chance of a gain in equity. As low as prices and interest rates are today I think the odds are good that a home purchase today is a wise investment .
advice would you give to someone selling a home today? Q What A :
: Today homes that look good and are priced right sell fast. Have a professional Real Estate Broker (I just happen to know one) advise you as to what you should do to make your home appealing to buyers. Your broker should also be able to produce a Comparitive Market Analysis to demonstrate the status of the market today. This analysis will show homes like yours on the market today as well as ones that have recently sold and even ones that were listed and never sold. Average price per square foot values should not be used to price your home. It’s important to initially list your home a the right price. Listing too high to “test the market” generally proves to be unsuccesful, and after a month or so the listing can become stale and even price drops at that point are not very successful. Take the time and effort to have your home look good, hire a professional agent to assist you, price it right and get ready to move because in todays market it should sell quickly.
can someone expect when they choose you to represent them in buying Q What or selling a home? :
A
: My best asset is that I’m a good listener. It’s the only way that I can accurately determine my clients wants, needs and desires. I aim to make this life altering experience enjoyable, simple and prosperous for my clients. I am always their strong advocate in what sometimes becomes a complicated process. I always follow through, keep my clients informed and provide solutions. I’m very proud of my many years providing solutions for homeowners.
Whats the state of the market in the Seattle area now? Q greater A :
: The housing market varies throughout the greater Seattle area but prices seem to have stabilized for now and prices at the lower end seem to be rising. Houses that look good and are priced right are often recieving multiple offers so the buyer and their agent must be diligent in their search and ready to act quickly. There are ways for a good buyers agent to make their clients offer more appealing to sellers in multiple offer situations because it’s often not always the highest offer that wins the home. For sellers, even though the market is good they still must have their house looking good and priced right to take advantage of this sellers market. They too should be working with a good, professional agent to get the best price and sell their home quickly. With the elections coming up and Winter fast approaching I’m hoping fgor the best but really don’t know how the housing market will do in the next 6 months.
do you do when you’re not at work? Q What A :
: I really enjoy helping people buy and sell homes but when I’m not doing that I like to golf, travel, hike (I did the coast to coast trail in England last year), tinker with and drive my old cars and trucks (8 of them from 1938 to 1965) and play with the grandkids. Life’s too short to not have fun.

YES on 1240 Will Give More Washington Students A Chance To Succeed Initiative 1240 will allow up to 40 public charter schools in Washington state over the next five years. Charter schools are public schools that are free and open to all students, with the same teacher certification requirements and academic standards as traditional public schools, and funded based on
student enrollment just like other public schools. However, charter schools allow teachers and principals more flexibility to meet the needs of students, which is especially important for students who are not succeeding in traditional schools. Please join us in voting YES on 1240.
Parents, Teachers, Civic & Education Leaders Urge YES on 1240
“Public charter schools across the country have a proven track record of helping students succeed, especially those at risk of falling through the cracks. Initiative 1240 brings the best of what works in other states to Washington.“ Dr. Sam Smith Former President Washington State University
“Public charter schools allow teachers and principals more flexibility to meet the needs of students, especially students who aren’t succeeding in traditional public school settings. That’s why I support a YES vote on 1240.” Joan Ferrigno Public High School Principal Seattle
“As a parent of two young children, I understand that every child learns differently. I-1240 provides Washington parents more options to find the best learning environment for our children.” Tania de Sá Campos Public School Parent and Elementary School Parent Volunteer Seattle
“I’ve studied public charter schools across the country, and I support a YES vote on 1240. Initiative 1240 is a well-written law that requires strict accountability and annual performance reviews. And 1240 ensures that public funding stays with public schools– following students just as it does now.” Professor Paul T. Hill, Ph.D. University of Washington Founder, Center on Reinventing Public Education
“As a public school teacher, I’m a strong believer in public education. That’s why I support a YES vote on 1240, to allow public charter schools in Washington. Charter schools give teachers and principals more flexibility to meet the needs of our students… and more options to help them succeed.” Chris Eide Public School Teacher and Co-Founder, Teachers United
“As a proud graduate of Tacoma Public Schools, an advocate for public education and an elected official who cares deeply about our city and state’s future, I urge you to join me and cast your vote for Initiative 1240.” Marilyn Strickland Mayor, City of Tacoma Member, Public Education Task Force U.S. Conference of Mayors

Tree planting on UW Bothell wetlands Nov. 3 The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust and locally-based insurer, PEMCO Insurance, invite Northwest residents and families to join a native tree- and shrub-planting event on Nov. 3 at the wetlands on the University of Washington Bothell campus. The event is to help plant more than 200 native trees and shrubs in the Mountains to Sound Greenway, the 1.5 million-acre landscape that stretches from Seattle to Central Washington and surrounds I-90 and will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “This was a fun way for us to learn more about our Northwest neighbors and help support a truly Northwest cause,” said Jon Osterberg, PEMCO spokesperson. “We look forward to rolling up our sleeves to help the Greenway, and we’d love to have anyone interested come help us plant trees.” The Greenway Trust works with thousands of volunteers each year to restore natural spaces. Volunteers will have fun getting dirty, learning about native plants and exploring new areas. PEMCO’s distinctive WALLY van will be on site with drinks, snacks and giveaways to help energize volunteers. The 58-acre UW Bothell wetlands include North Creek, which is a salmonbearing stream. The UW began restoring these wetlands in 1998 and has continuously maintained them through the removal of invasive plants and by planting native trees to improve habitat for salmon. Volunteers will plant several species of native foliage to also increase the biodiversity of the area. This event is part of the Greenway’s overall goal to plant over 20,000 native trees and shrubs this season in several natural areas in the Greenway. Full and half-day planting shifts are available for the event and registration is required. Visit www.mtsgreenway. org/volunteer or contact 206.812.0122 or volunteer@mtsgreenway.org to register.

Sales tax revenue up overall, despite construction impacts By Matt Phelps mphelps@bothell-reporter.com
M
any people are starting to feel the economy move into positive territory - no matter how slowly. That feeling is translating into the ring of cash registers around the state. But other sectors in Kenmore and Bothell, such as construction, are muddying the economic waters. The Washcity ington State Department of Revenue announced Oct. 5 that the state’s overall taxable retail sales increased 4.7 percent to $26.8 billion during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. Retail trade increased 5.3 percent to $12.3 billion over the second quarter of 2011. Retail trade is a subset of all taxable retail sales that includes retailers but excludes other industries such as services and construction. Among major industries, construction was up 7 percent to $3.9 billion, accommodations and food services increased 5.4 percent to $3.2 billion, motor vehicles and parts rose 12.9 percent to $2.9 billion, and general merchandise stores were up 2.1 percent to $2.4 billion. In King County, taxable retail sales increased by 6.4 percent, while retail trade was up 6.1 percent from 2011. But for areas of Bothell in King County, the trend went the opposite direction with a loss of
more than $24 million, or 15.34 percent, for taxable retail sales. The retail trade sector saw a loss of more than $14 million or 26 percent. But those numbers have more to do with 2011 than 2012. “The city received a higher than normal level of sales tax in the second quarter of 2011, which leaves 2012 missing its mark,” said City of Bothell Finance Director Tami Schackman. “Sometimes you have month-to-month abnormalities.” Schackman said that the year-to-year numbers are more in line with the county’s second-quarter numbers. “In July we saw an increase of 5.5 percent in sales tax,” Schackman said. “In the first seven months we were up $19,000, so you have to look at the larger picture.” Some of the evidence that Bothell’s overall economic numbers are improving lie in the Snohomish County revenue numbers. The Snohomish County half of Bothell saw a dramatic increase of 15 percent in retail sales, with tax revenue jumping more than $12 million. Revitalization efforts during the past few years have kept construction sales tax higher than many other areas. But inclement spring weather helped artificially suppress the numbers. “We were down 18 percent in construction yearto-year,” said Schackman. “We do anticipate that construction will improve in the fall.” Trade sales revenue was slow, only increasing by $346,000 or 1.23 percent.
news
Overall, Snohomish County retail sales were up 4.9 percent, while trade was up 7.6 percent, the most in the state.
Kenmore sales tax According to King County, Kenmore saw an increase in retail sales of 5.63 percent and sales tax revenue went up by a little less than $3 million. A 7.38 percent increase in retail trade was reported, with tax revenue increasing by a little more than $1 million. City of Kenmore Director of Finance Joanne Gregory said that there is a disconnect between the state and city numbers. “Although the state reports an increase in taxable sales of 5.63 percent in the second quarter of 2012 over the second quarter of 2011, our actual sales-tax revenue increased 2.33 percent over that period,” said Gregory. “Various industry sectors are up and down and there hasn’t been any significant trending that I can see. Right now the wholesale sector is trending up but it’s only 6 percent of our total receipts.” But Gregory said that the state’s numbers for the second quarter of 2011 were lower than the city’s revenue figures, leading to an increase difference for 2012. One big change in the future for Kenmore is a decrease in construction revenue, as the gigantic Brightwater project comes to an end in Kenmore. “I estimated that 2013 sales-tax revenue will see a decrease of about

$125,000 from 2012, as my expectation is that the construction activity will be wrapped up,” Gregory said. The new wastewater treatment system went online in September 2011 and the conveyance system and outfall will begin full operations this fall. Final restoration work at construction sites will continue through late
2013. The city has been gaining construction sales-tax revenue from the project, as one of the main access points for the project is in Kenmore. Surrounding cities have seen dramatic increases in sales-tax revenue, according to state numbers. Kirkland’s retail-tax revenue increased by 19.74 percent, while retail trade increased by 14.61
percent. Lake Forest Park reported increases of 8.11 percent in retail and 13 percent in trade. Woodinville was a bit of an anomaly with retail down 2.51 percent and trade up 3.66 percent. Redmond was up a modest 2.17 percent in retail and 2.36 in trade.

Physical Therapists are all about movement — especially during National Physical Therapy Month — and water is a great modality for movement. Aquatic Therapy uses water as a modality for movement to progress a person’s functional ability. Water is a great modality because it supports the body, reduces joint stress, and can be used to add resistance or assistance to movement depending on the task. Children who have sensory processing difficulties, low tone, poor coordination or muscle strength, and decreased range of motion or endurance could all benefit from aquatic therapy. Often times, the pool is used as a modality to help center or calm children with autism since it is in a therapeutic pool which is heated. Benefits include improved muscle strength, increased heart/cardiovascular function, decreased swelling, increased circulation, increased endurance. Aquatic therapy can also work on increasing range of motion/flexibility, as well as balance, coordination, vestibular, motor planning, and body awareness skills. In the pool you can work on different skills than in the clinic, using the water as a tool. The pool also offers the following properties that being on land doesn’t: buoyancy, heat, hydrostatic pressure, and resistance. Provides assistance and support to decrease the force of gravity. This is especially helpful for a person to move more easily with decreased stress on muscles, joints, and bones. Aquatic therapy is often recommended after surgery to strengthen muscles and start weight-bearing. Aquatic therapy is in a heated pool ranging from 9496 degrees. This helps relax muscles and is the perfect environment to work on range of motion. The water surrounds the body and helps circulate blood, which can often help with swelling in the ankles and feet.

Bothell to take on Curtis in opening round of playoffs tonight Cougars fall to Skyline in 4A KingCo championship, finish regular season 5-4 and as the No. 2 seed mphelps@bothell-reporter.com
B
othell High School football fans will get a chance to cheer on the Cougars in a home playoff game at 7 p.m. on Saturday, as their team will take on Curtis at Pop Keeney Stadium. Bothell finished the season with an overall record of 5-4 and the No. 2 seed out of the 4A KingCo conference. The Cougars lost to an undefeated and No. 1 ranked Skyline team during the 4A KingCo Championship game 34-7 on Thursday, Oct. 25. The loss for the Cougars put an end to a four-game win streak. Bothell was ranked in the top five in the state in most polls during the preseason, but a 0-3 start had many questioning if the team would even make the playoffs. Thanks to the four game streak, Bothell climbed back into most top 10 polls. The Cougars won games against Eastlake (33-6), Redmond (35-7), Glacier Peak (41-14) and the team’s largest margin of victory of the year against Inglemoor, 66-21. In contrast, Curtis, a school in University Place, finished the regular season 7-2 with losses to Graham Kapowski and undefeated
Federal Way. But while Bothell has two more losses than Curtis, the Cougars have played five games against top-10 teams. The Vikings have played just two games against top-10 teams, losing both outings. The Vikings entered the playoffs coming off a loss to a highly ranked team, losing to No. 2 ranked Federal Way Friday, Oct. 26 35-6. The road to the playoffs included a stop against undefeated and top ranked Skyline for the 4A KingCo championship game on Oct. 25. Despite the hot run for Bothell, the Cougars were unable to avenge their early-season loss to the Spartans, as Skyline quarterback Max Browne threw for 228 first-half yards to lift his team to the 34-7 victory. The game was made even more difficult for the Cougars as they were without their top offensive player for the game, Danny Wilson. As a result Bothell managed less than 100 yards of total offense during the first half. Skyline began the game on fire. An 84-yard kickoff return put the Spartans on the Cougars’ eight-yard line to start the game. Browne then found a receiver on the ensuing play for the first of his four touchdown passes to give

Skyline the very early lead. Browne would score the Spartans’ second touchdown with his legs from four-yards out and then throw a 21-yard pass to give his team a 20-0 lead during the first quarter. Bothell continued to struggle on offense during the second quarter, as Skyline scored two more touchdowns on the arm of Browne, who will play for the University of Southern California next season. The 34-0 Skyline halftime lead pretty much put the game away. Bothell kept fighting, finally get-
ting into the end zone during the fourth quarter to avoid the shutout. Bothell running back Sam McPherson scored from six-yards out. The week before on Friday, Oct. 19, the Cougars faced Woodinville High School, earning the team’s fifth straight win, beating the Falcons 23-7. The win earned the team the Crest Division Title. A big part of the lateseason comeback has been the legs of running back Danny Wilson, who followed up a 364-yard performance the week before

with a three-touchdown, 173-yard game against the Falcons. Woodinville would not give Bothell the Crest title easily, though, scoring first on an 8-yard touchdown pass during the first quarter. The score gave the Cougars, and Wilson, even more motivation. The running back added kick return to his long list of accomplishments this season, as he outran every player on the field for a 97-yard touchdown during the ensuing kickoff. But a failed extra-point attempt left Bothell still down, 7-6.
The Bothell defense got the ball back on a fumbled punt attempt and Wilson gave the Cougars the lead with a 23-yard touchdown run entering halftime. Alec Yarno extended the lead with a 24-yard field goal to open the thirdquarter scoring. Wilson added his third touchdown of the game toward the end of the third quarter, a 15-yard run from scrimmage, putting the game out of reach for the Falcons. A win over Curtis this Friday would advance the Cougars into the first round of the 4A state tournament as the No. 2 team out of District 2. If Bothell wins, the team will face the No. 1 team out of District 3.

those numbers are within the margin of error. With the race so close, some heavy hitters have visited the state in support of each candidate. United States Sen. Patty Murray attended a rally at DelBene’s headquarters in the North Creek area of Bothell on Oct. 21. “(The district) was designed to be 50-50 and this is a historic time for this district,” said Murray, who grew up in Bothell. “But I predict that after the race it won’t be considered a swing district.” Murray said that she knows how important it is to get voters to the polls. “I remember a Bothell mayor race that was won by one or two votes,” said Murray, who is the senior Senator from Washington first elected in 1992. Along with Murray,
DelBene has had national Democratic leaders such as Pelosi, Congressman Steny Hoyer, who has represented Maryland for 30 years and South Carolina Congressman Jim Cyburn on the campaign trail. Koster has had Christie, Georgia Congressman Tom Price, M.D., talk radio host and son of President Ronald Reagan, Michael Reagan, along with Congressman Dave Reichert campaigning for him. “It really is one of the most evenly divided in the nation and that is great,” said DelBene. “We need more districts like this one.” The Reporter did not receive any response to multiple interview requests and phone calls to the Koster campaign. The campaign rally for DelBene also included the
wife of former 1st Congressional District Rep. Jay Inslee, who vacated the seat to run for Governor. Inslee won re-election in 2010 with 57 percent of the vote against challenger James Watkins. Because Inslee vacated the seat, 1st District voters will get to vote for DelBene or Koster twice during the general election on Nov. 6. The first is to fill the final few months of Inslee’s term and the second is to fill the seat for the next congressional term. This is the second time that both Koster and DelBene have run for Congress. Koster ran for the 2nd District seat in 2010 but lost to Rick Larsen 51.1-48.9 percent. DelBene ran against Reichert in 2010 but lost 52.1-47.9 percent.

that into perspective, it is nearly as big as New Jersey at 8,722 square miles and bigger than Delaware, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia combined (4,245 square miles). But it is not the size that has caught the eye of national news media such as the New York Times and political party leaders, such as former Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. The New York Times recently called the district one of the most evenly divided politically in the nation. The old 1st District fell constantly into the Democrats column.

end schools. “While certainly not ideal, we believe these measures are preferable to multiple boundary adjustments in advance of a long-term solution,” said NSD Superintendent Larry Francois. “We will continue to work closely with the impacted schools to assure a high quality learning environment as schools operate well beyond their enrollment capacity.” Key stakeholders such as parents, staff, students and community will be involved throughout the planning and implementation process for a new high school, grade level reconfiguration and boundary adjustments. “This is a community effort that we believe provides the best possible educational benefit for our children in the future,” said Lacey. “We have a significant task ahead and are eager to work with the community as we move forward.” Additional information is available on the district website, www.nsd.org/ edtf, or by contacting the Communications Department, 425-408-7671

Dick was always the center of any party or gathering and he could hold an audience captive with his stories and quick wit. Dick had the ability to light up any room he was in and when he took to the dance floor people loved to watch him. Dick was born on October 8th, 1938 and grew up on a farm in Bothell,Washington and attended Bothell High School. He served his country in the Air Force and was fortunate to travel the world. Most of his career was spent in the construction / urethane foam industry. Dick was very proud of the young men he hired and trained and took pride in watching them grow into very successful people. He remained close friends over the years with his crew members and thought of them as family. Frequently his faithful companion ‘Charlie’, a golden retriever, would accompany Dick to many job sites. The love and admiration between Dick and Charlie was obvious to everyone and Charlie became a ‘regular’ even when travelling to distant job sites. Dick is survived by his longtime love of 35 years Crystal Darlington and children; son Scott Darlington and Kristen of Camano Island, daughter Kari Gabel and Tim of Snohomish, daughter Deena Eckroth and Steve of Mukilteo and daughter Lisa Gibson and Rob of Lake Stevens. Dick had seven grandchildren; Crystal Hudson and Mark Eckroth, Lindsey, Ryker and Lainie Gibson, and Jacob and Cassie Gabel. Siblings include Pat Seims (Jerry) of Sterling AK, Bob Darlington (Judy) of Snohomish, Sharon Spencer of Bakersfield CA, Sue Aiau (Peter) of Seattle, Sandy Ormbrek of Seattle, Ken Ormbrek (Page) of Yakima and Jon Ormbrek (Bev) of Ellensburg. Dick is preceded in death by his parents; Gay Ormbrek, and George Ormbrek. Although he will be missed by many, we will treasure the many wonderful memories and hold those forever in our hearts. His laughter, infectious smile and his twinkling blue eyes will always remain with his family and friends. 692612

BRIEFS
Kenmore, Kirkland citizens awarded for lifesaving actions The Northshore Fire Department presented Meritorious Action Awards on Oct. 16 to a group of local residents who saved the life of a fellow citizen.
On Sept. 15 while at St. Edward State Park, a man collapsed while walking the park grounds. A few people responded immediately and soon realized that the man was not breathing and had no pulse. “I was terrified,” said David Marshall who was one of the first to reach the man. “At first I just froze.” He asked if anyone knew CPR and Kristen Terpstra jumped in and began chest compressions while other bystanders were directed to call 911 and go for help. When Terpstra tired,
David Graves stepped in and continued CPR. Park rangers Mohammad Mostafavinassab and Lukas Peter responded with an AED (automatic external defibrillator) and delivered shocks to the man’s heart. Due to the selfless actions of all those involved, the life of a total stranger, Keith Dotter, was saved. When emergency crews arrived, Dotter had a pulse and was transported to a local hospital. The citizens honored were: David and Alice Marshall of Seattle, David Graves of
Bothell, Kristen Terpstra of Kirkland and Mohammed Mostafavinassab and Lukas Peter of Kenmore. In addition to recognizing the efforts of these helpful citizens, it is important to mention the role that the King County Medic One program played in this event. For years, Medic One has encouraged and supported local CPR training programs, public education efforts and the placement of AED’s in public places. Medic One states, “The real difference in patient outcome is made in the first ten minutes.” This event highlights how citizen participation is a vital link in the “Chain of Survival” for sudden cardiac arrest. The Northshore Fire Department encourages all citizens to take a CPR class and learn more about what they can do to be prepared to help in case of an emergency. In recognition
From left to right: Mohammad Mostafavinassab, David Marshall, Kristin Terpstra, Keith Dotter, Alice Marshall, Lukas Peter and David Graves. CONTRIBUTED of the importance of citizen CPR, the Northshore Fire Department will be offering two free Adult CPR classes. The free classes will be held at the headquarters station in Kenmore at 2 p.m. Nov. 7 and 6:30 p.m. Dec. 5 (space is limited). Contact Wendy Booth at wbooth@northshorefire.com or 425-3541742 to register.

White Gold
Digging British Columbia’s legendary motherlode.
Here’s how it happens: you sink into a turn and a swirl of crystals envelopes you. A curtain of cold smoke hangs in the air as you link several more explosions before pausing for a well-deserved breath. As the cloud dissipates and sound drifts off like a wind dying in the tree-tops, a weight is lifted from your life. Maybe you don’t feel it right away because the void is filled by what you see: mountains on every horizon— rugged peaks, hanging glaciers, and welcoming bowls hemmed by gentle evergreen skirts. Above you, snow-ghosts picket a ridgeline, alabaster sentinels marching into a cerulean sky. Below you is a vast expanse of unbroken white. Snow of such elemental purity it defies description. In other places it’s called champagne powder, but here, following the mining traditions of the many British Columbia towns it blankets, it’s known as White Gold—because finding it brings a fortune in fun. You’ll know that after your first run. It might be the best skiing you’ve done in a lifetime of great skiing or just a spectacular introduction to wild and free and ridiculously good. And, as you slide back onto an immaculately groomed run to head back to the
lodge, you’ll wonder this: if this is just another winter day in B.C., what’s an exceptional one? Perhaps it’s time you found out. The scope and variety of B.C.’s ski areas is staggering. Whether your choice is located in the spectacular Coast, funky Interior or jagged Rockies, the variability in resort size and ambiance, the amount and diversity of groomed and offpiste terrain, and the consistency of quality snow that ranges from 10-15 metres (30-50 feet) each winter, you’ll know you’ve struck paydirt. Like Europe, B.C.’s vast spaces and convoluted ranges mean you can stay at a world class resort or an undiscovered gem just around the corner. You’ll also find friendly people, modern lifts, lodges ranging from rustic chic to ultramodern, and fabulous, award-winning food. Best of all, getting there is simple. Vancouver & Kelowna international airports act as gateways to B.C.—you can be skiing the same day you leave home. And if the snow happens to break around your knees as you dig into that first turn on your vacation, well, you’ll know. You just struck White Gold. SKI IT TO BELIEVE IT.com
