Boy Scouts from the Northlakes Chapter of the Order of the Arrow honor Society, including Scouts from Bothell and Kenmore, have embarked on a journey to carve a totem pole for Camp Pigott, the Scouts’ summer camp.

The scouts have spent a year working on the task, cutting down a tree on scout property last Christmas, de-barking, removing the core and carving the figures of the Totem.

They then spent six months, prior designing the totems, building the Adzes used to carve the pole. The 15-foottall, 99-year-old yellow cedar is 18 inches in diameter and has the figures of a bear, squirrel and blue heron, figures representing aspects of the Scouts.

The Pole will be raised next spring at Camp Pigott in Monroe. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

The woman’s 42-year-old daughter, Terie Sue Davidson, was arrested on Oct. 27 and later charged with murder.

The Bothell Police Department received a 911 call at approximately 5 a.m. Oct. 27 from the daughter who requested some medical assistance at a mobile home where she resides located in the 3300 block of 228th St. S.E. in Bothell.

Officers contacted the woman outside her front door. Due to some concerning statements and behaviors, the officers determined they needed to check the welfare of anyone inside the residence.

The officers found the woman’s mother inside, who was suffering from severe traumatic injuries.

Medics and aid responded to treat the woman, however she died while still at the scene.

The daughter was taken into custody and as of Monday was in the hospital for undisclosed medical issues, said Langford.

Detectives searched the home following the incident.

sexual relationship upon Lamb’s request, frequently having sex in Lamb’s office, the documents continue.

Mae states in the complaint that while she was employed at the firm, Lamb was more demanding and “asserted power and control over the situation.”

“Mae felt pressured to succumb to Lamb’s advances. She was financially dependent on Lamb,” states the complaint. Lamb stated in court documents that the sexual relationship was “consensual.”

Their sexual relationship allegedly continued for months almost

entirely in Lamb’s office during working hours.

In March, Mae decided to terminate the relationship and stated that she “no longer wanted to be treated like his ‘whore,’” the complaint continues.

Later that same month Lamb allegedly saw Mae printing out information on a person she was considering dating, which sparked a heated argument between the two.

She was fired the next day when she returned to the office, the documents continue.

Since being terminated, Mae claims that her social media and phone have been accessed by unauthorized individuals.

... and we will do this again in four years

T

he 2012 general election was a lot of things.

It was an exercise in democracy, a peaceful transition of power and as annoying as ever.

The cliches alone are enough to make you want to throw something at the TV. We heard a lot of the same lines over and over again. The candidates even threw out many of the same tired old campaign lines.

One cliche that we are used to hearing every four years is “this is the most important election of our lifetime.” How can every election be the most important?

The election was also nasty, mean and full of annoying ads and robocalls. But that is what we say every four years. The fact of the matter is that negative campaigning works.

The race for Attorney General was specifically nasty. The ads for both sides were misleading at best and downright offensive in other cases.

More local races even went negative. One of the worst was the 1st District Senate race between longtime incumbent Rosemary McAuliffe and Dawn McCravey. The negative campaigning in this race was not just from the candidates but also from their supporters. The Kirkland, Bothell and Kenmore Reporters received more letters on this race than any other and most were pretty nasty. In fact, the Reporter newspapers received more letters on this race than another topic during the past four months.

Name calling, digging up sketchy links between the candidates and outside groups and other attacks were sometimes worse than the commercials on TV or the mailers.

The Reporter even received some nasty phone calls for an innocuous story on the 1st Congressional District race. The story was initiated when the Suzan DelBene campaign contacted the Reporter to cover a rally in Bothell with Sen.

Patty Murray. Not wanting to profile one singular candidate or espouse their views four days before the election, Reporter staff attempted to contact the John Koster campaign and to find a more balanced approach.

The story was ultimately written on how the race was being viewed by the nation and what heavy hitters had campaigned for the candidates. The Reporter called and left numerous messages for the Koster campaign during a 10-day period with no response. As most newspapers do, we let the readers know that we attempted to get an interview for the story with no response to the inquiry. We also attempted to make the story as balanced as possible. For some readers it was not enough, leaving phone messages to let us know that the story was unbalanced because we failed to reach the Koster campaign.

Then number of robocalls this year seemed to go up exponentially from four years ago. But it was inaccurate robocalls in other states, telling people

they had until Wednesday, Nov. 7 to vote, that got many up in arms on election day.

And while it seemed in Washington state that the TV election ads would never end, it was worse elsewhere in the United States.

We in Washington State did not get the barrage that those in swing states received for the Presidential election. In Ohio alone, the Romney and Obama campaigns combined to buy nearly 220,000 TV ads. Florida came in second with nearly 200,000 TV ads.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the overall spending on the Presidential election through Oct. 17 was nearly $2 billion.

And in another four years we will subject ourselves to more robocalls, nasty TV ads, underhanded tactics and “the most important election of our lifetime.”

But when you think of the alternative to democracy, we would all agree this isn’t bad at all - unless your candidate lost.

A great citizen doing more than his part My name is Lindsay Trieb. I live on Norway Hill off 100th. Today I witnessed something pretty amazing and I thought that it deserved some recognition. I was driving to work today and saw a man, probably in his mid to late 70’s walking up Norway Hill.

I drove past him as the three cars in front of me had. At the stop sign at the bottom of the hill it struck me that this man deserved my time.

I flipped my car in reverse (obviously not legal, sorry), parked and he started to approach me. I got out of my car and I asked his name and what he was doing. “My name is Jim,” he said gesturing to his ball cap that clearly stated his name. He told me that every other day he walks up Norway Hill and collects all of the garbage because he loved where he lived and wanted to keep it beautiful. Every other day this old man walks up this huge hill by himself cleaning up everyone else’s garbage. I think that is really incredible.

I don’t know who I should email or write a letter to explaining how amazing this man is and how much he deserves to be seen in the public eye for doing something so great so frequently when it’s a struggle for some of us to even do one good, thoughtful deed even

once a week. So, hopefully people take a few moments out of their day to wave, stop and say hello or pull over and help.

Here’s to Jim,

Northshore Community Kitchen, making a difference Much has been written in the press lately about hunger insecurity, especially when it concerns school aged children. We are fortunate to live in an area where several groups and organizations have programs in place to help alleviate this problem. One such program here in our neighborhood is the Northshore Community Kitchen, a joint partnership between Northshore Council PTSA and the Northshore YMCA. Working with the Northshore School District, the Kitchen benefits from sustained support from a small group of local businesses and organizations. It receives donations from PTA units and individuals. The Kitchen also has a great group of volunteers, including high school students during summer vacation.

Those factors have meant that over 20 Northshore families have been able to pick up a simple, freshly prepared and nutritious readyto-eat meal once a week since April.

The program has been so successful that we have now expanded to include a weekly sack

meal for students at a Junior High Hang-Time after school program.

The Kitchen is not a food bank, but we do accept donations of specific non-perishable food items and other pantry staples that are used on a regular basis. Volunteers are always welcome so if you would like to help prepare meals or help in another capacity please contact either of us for more information. Monetary donations are also appreciated and can be made to either Northshore Council PTSA or Northshore YMCA both of which are 501(c)(3) organizations.

The actress Lily Tomlin has often been quoted as saying, “ I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about that.

Then I realized I was somebody.”

We don’t know if she was speaking about hunger insecurity or not, but you’ve got to agree … it’s a great quote!

New project will help start-up businesses thrive in Kenmore

By Matt Phelps mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

The development of downtown Kenmore has been a big focus for the city.

Kenmore officials hope to rejuvenate and redevelop Kenmore Village with the addition of Kenmore Camera. But drawing new businesses to the area is also an important economic goal for the vitality of the city.

The Kenmore City Council is taking steps to help new businesses start and grow within the city through a Business Incubator project.

The pilot program was set in motion during a recent council meeting and will provide low-cost office space and business operation assistance to start-up companies, primarily in the technology field.

“Our short-term plan is to secure interim office space for the next two to three years,” said Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey in his preliminary city budget letter. “In the meantime, we will work to establish a permanent incubator space in the heart of our downtown.”

The city defines the project goals as “to produce successful firms that graduate from the incubation program as financially viable growth-

oriented companies.” important service for the “One really important part incubator to work. of this is that it puts us on “It is also important to the radar screen of entreprenote that business incubators neurs,” said Kenmore Asare not just about providing sistant City Manager Nancy affordable space with low Ousley, who is in charge of overhead,” said Karlinsey in the project. “It shows those the letter. “A business incuwho are working out of their bator, by definition, includes homes that the city is willing business development and to invest and help start-ups mentoring for these fledgling get off to a good start.” businesses.

Ideally, the leasing program would eventually take place in office space developed in Kenmore Village.

Karlinsey said the city will seek grants and investors to construct a quality, technology-oriented space that will be attractive for new businesses to come to Kenmore and get their start.

The city will also focus on primary industry start-ups that bring in money and jobs to the Kenmore community and export products and services, wrote Karlinsey.

The program also aims to grow the city’s natural health industry cluster and high tech and clean technology companies, he said.

The project is proposed to cost the city $238,000 in the 2013-2014 biennium budget, but that does not include revenues received for rental of office space by the start-ups.

The program was first proposed during a September council meeting and funding was approved in the 2013-2014 budget for the program.

The majority of the budget for the project is to go toward leasing the space for the start-ups.

City of Kenmore, Washington News Transportation Benefit District Board to Review Adoption of a $20 Vehicle Fee at a Public Meeting on November 20

Vehicle Fee: Anticipated Revenues The Department of Licensing (DOL) estimates there are 16,107 vehicles in Kenmore (2011 data). The DOL also has stated that jurisdictions which impose the vehicle fee collect approximately 83% of the revenue. The DOL also charges a 1% administrative fee (2011 data) to collect the fees and forward them to the City of Kenmore. In the first five years of implementation, the Vehicle Fee is anticipated to raise approximately $1.3 million dollars.

Vehicle Fee: Authorized Expenditures City of Kenmore Ordinance No. 12-0339, which created the TBD, provides generally that the funds generated by the TBD may be used for any purpose allowed by law including to operate the District and to make transportation improvements that are consistent with existing state, regional and local transportation plans and necessitated by existing or reasonably foreseeable congestion levels pursuant to Chapter 36.73 RCW. The Ordinance further provides specifically that the transportation improvements funded by the TBD shall be made in an effort to preserve and maintain transportation infra-

structure, improve public safety, or implement projects identified in the City’s Transportation Improvement Program. This broad authorization gives the TBD flexibility in spending the vehicle fees. It is anticipated that a substantial portion of the vehicle fees will be used for the City’s pavement preservation program.

Vehicle Fee: Time of Collection; Exempt Vehicles The vehicle fee is collected at renewal of vehicle registration. Several types of vehicles are exempt from the vehicle fee, such as campers, off-road and non-highway vehicles, private use single-axle trailers and snowmobiles as defined in the RCW. Vehicle Fee: Collection and Administration As requested by the Board, the proposed resolution establishes an annual vehicle fee of $20.00. As required by RCW, the resolution provides for DOL to administer and collect the vehicle fees and states that the vehicle fees cannot be collected until six months after approval by the TBD Board. If the resolution is adopted at the November 20 meeting, the DOL is anticipated to begin collecting the vehicle fee in the spring of 2013.

Questions If you have any questions, please contact Engineering & Environmental Services Director Kris Overleese at koverleese@kenmorewa.gov or 425-398-8900.

Additional information on the TBD is available on the City’s website, www. kenmorewa.gov.

For additional City information, visit www.kenmorewa.gov

702029

At the October 22 Transportation Benefit District (TBD) meeting, the TBD Board directed staff to bring forward a TBD Resolution to adopt an annual $20 vehicle fee. The resolution will be presented to the TBD Board on Tuesday, November 20 at 7 p.m. at Kenmore City Hall, 18120 68th Ave NE. There will be an opportunity for public comment at the beginning of the meeting.

The TBD has been created to generate revenues to support transportation improvements within the TBD. The vehicle fee is the only funding option being pursued by the TBD at this time. The meeting agenda and proposed resolution is available to view on the City’s website, www.kenmorewa.gov.

DelBene sworn into U.S. House of Representatives early

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

D

Suzan DelBene addresses her supporters in Kirkland on election night. DelBene was sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives on Monday to fill out former Congressman Jay Inslee’s term until January. She will then be sworn in for the next term as well. CARRIE RODRIGUEZ, Bothell Reporter

emocratic Congressional candidate Suzan DelBene was sworn into the United States House of Representatives on Monday to fill out the rest of the current term.

Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed sent a letter to congressional officials on Nov. 7 declaring that 1st Congressional District candidate unofficially won the race to fill the seat until the end of the current term ending in January. The letter stated that DelBene has unofficially received 60 percent of the vote against Republican John Koster.

The lame-duck session began on Tuesday.

“It would appear from these unofficial results

that Suzan DelBene was elected as Representative in Congress from the First Congressional District of Washington,” wrote Reed to U.S. House of Representative’s Clerk Karen L. Haas the day after the election. “To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there is no contest to this election.”

Winning the lameduck term is significant, as it gives DelBene more seniority in the House of Representatives than a normal freshman representative.

The seat was on the ballot twice for voters from the Canadian border to I-90, once to fill the rest of former Representative Jay Inslee’s term, and a second time to fill the next four-year term.

DelBene holds a 60-39

percent lead for the lameduck term. DelBene has a 53-46 percent lead against Koster for the term beginning in January.

“In the alternative, the House, controlled by the Republicans, had indicated it would accept a Secretary of State letter stating confidence that she had been elected to the short unexpired term,” said State Elections co-director Katie Blinn.

The election results won’t be complete and official until confirmed by the counties in the district on Nov. 27 and by the state on Dec. 6.

The seat was vacated

by Democrat Jay Inslee last spring as he ran for Washington State Governor. Inslee defeated Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna.

McAuliffe defeats McCravey in contentious race, democrats sweep Bothell/Kenmore Reporter

T

he 2012 general election took place on Nov. 6 and results as of Tuesday evening showed local Democrats having a big night.

One of the most hotly contested races pit longtime 1st District State Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe (D-Bothell) against Northshore School Board member Dawn Mc-

Cravey. McAuliffe is beating McCravey, 55-44 percent (34,241-27,692 votes). The race was extremely contentious and generated more letters to the editor for the Bothell/Kenmore Reporter than any other topic during the past year.

The district covers all of Bothell.

The 1st Legislative District has two races to send a representative to Olympia.

Incumbent Luis Moscoso (D-Mountlake Terrace)

defeated challenger Mark T. Davies 60-39 percent (35,202-22,526) for Position 2.

“I have enjoyed this campaign season, and want to recognize my opponent for running a stand up campaign. Despite our stark political differences our campaigns both remained very positive, and I thank Mr. Davies for voicing his beliefs and concerns for our state moving forward,” said Moscoso. “I know that

his sentiments are shared by many across the district, and I will work to represent my entire district to ensure that our economy continues rolling forward and that our families find and maintain the well-paying jobs we need to raise our children, save for retirement, and grow our middle class.”

Davies faced an uphill battle to get on the ballot but many expected this race to be closer as Moscoso only won by .5 percent two years ago.

Redistricting was expected to make the district more conservative.

In the Position 1 race, former Bothell Deputy Mayor and Republican candidate Sandy Guinn lost to incumbent Derek Sanford (D-Bothell) 57-42 percent (34,686-25,550).

The 32nd Legislative District includes all of Kenmore and Finn Hill in Kirkland with both state legislative positions up for grabs.

In Position 1, incumbent

Historic election legalizes same-sex marriage, marijuana arrest or charge individuals caught with one ounce or less of marijuana. There are 12 municipalities that contract with the Sheriff’s Office for police services including Kenmore. It remains the policy decision of the municipal attorneys and policy makers of those cities to determine how they will proceed between now and Dec. 6. This decision only affects the deputies working in unincorporated King County.

The Charter Schools measure, I-1240, is passing with a little over 50 percent or 1,419,188 votes to 1,374,977 votes against.

Anti-tax activist Tim Eyman was successful again this year, helping to get Initiative 1185 passed. The initiative would require that any tax increase be passed with a two-thirds or supermajority vote in the legislature or by a direct vote of the people.

The measure passed with 1,768,833 votes in favor out of nearly 3 million votes cast, or 64-35 percent.

OBEDIENCE and AGILITY CLASSES

Eyman and cosponsors Jack and Mike Fagan released a statement on election night touting the idea of a constitutional amendment, as this is the fifth time voters have approved the idea.

“After five public votes and five public approvals, the people have earned the right to vote on a two-thirds for taxes constitutional amendment. Over and over and over and over and over again the people have voted for this critical protection. They’ve approved it in good times and bad,” said Eyman. “Over the past 20 years the taxpayers have clearly proven they want this protection.”

A supermajority vote measure has passed four times in Washington State: 1993, 1998, 2007 and in 2010. Three times it has been blocked by the state legislature.

Eyman also stated that

in recent legislative sessions, some legislators have introduced bills allowing the people to vote on a supermajority vote constitutional amendment. But leaders in the House and Senate blocked them from being voted on.

“That cannot be allowed to happen in 2013,” said Eyman. “It is time for Olympia to stop the blockade against letting the people vote on a

All results are as of Wednesday morning.

two-thirds for taxes constitutional amendment. The 2013 Legislature must let the House and Senate vote on a two-thirds for taxes constitutional amendment that mirrors I-1185. The people deserve a recorded vote in both chambers.”

Seventeen states have a two-thirds for taxes law as a part of their constitutions.

The 2012 general election results have to be certified by King County on Nov. 27 and by the Washington Secretary of State by Dec. 6.

Washington State voters approved some historic measures during the 2012 general election, including gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana.

The apparent passage of Referendum 74 led to many jubilant celebrations, as same-sex couples looked to a future where Washington State would recognize a legal marriage. Washington was one of four states to approve a same-sex marriage measure this year. R-74 is passing with 53 percent of the vote, or 1,527,272 votes to approve and 1,341,926 votes to reject.

If R-74 is certified as passed by the voters, the first day that marriage licenses can be issued to same-sex couples will be Dec. 6. The first day that licenses could be used is three days later on Dec. 9.

The Recorder’s Office will open for extended hours on Dec. 6, as well as Dec. 7-8.

Another controversial and historic initiative concerned the legalization of marijuana in small quantities. I-502 passed with 55 percent of the vote or 1,593,680 votes in favor to 1,279,005 votes against. I-502 allows adults to possess and smoke one ounce of marijuana and allows the state to license the growth, distribution and sale of marijuana, in many forms.

It will also be taxable by the state. Many opponents argue that passage of the I-502 will hurt medicinal patients and adds a level of uncertainty such as a DUI for marijuana use as traces of THC can be detected in the blood for as long as one week. The state government still has to figure out the details of implementation and the specific law.

Another issue with the initiative is that marijuana in any form is illegal by federal law and conflict between the new state law will also have to be worked out.

Colorado passed and Oregon rejected similar measures during the 2012 general election.

The King County Prosecutor’s Office announced Friday that it will be dismissing all of its misdemeanor marijuana possession cases as a result of the passage of I-502.

The decision will impact 175 King County cases that are currently filed or referred for filing involving individuals age 21 and older who possessed one ounce or less of marijuana.

King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg said that dismissing these cases is the right thing to do.

“Although the effective date of I-502 is not until Dec. 6, there is no point in continuing to seek criminal penalties for conduct that will be legal next month,” Satterberg said.

Following that change in filing by the King County prosecutor’s office, King County Sheriff’s Office deputies will not be directed to

Edmonds man shot by two police officers had displayed a weapon out window The Edmonds man who police officers shot and injured last Friday after a slow-speed pursuit displayed a weapon out his truck’s window.

Robert A. Marvin, 68, who was allegedly suicidal, remains in Harborview Medical Center where he is expected to survive injuries sustained during the incident, police said.

The officers involved in the shooting are a 22-year veteran of the Edmonds Police Department and a sergeant from Mountlake Terrace Police Department with 16 years of experience. Both are currently on administrative leave during the investigation.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Bothell Police Department, were involved in an almost six-mile pursuit of Marvin after his wife reported he was suicidal and left their Edmonds home with a weapon on Oct. 26.

When Marvin refused to stop, police used a spike strip to flatten the passenger side tires on his GMC Sierra. Shortly thereafter, the GMC stopped in the 16700 block of 96th Ave. N.E. in front of Wayne Public Golf Course in Bothell where Marvin refused to get out of the vehicle.

He displayed a weapon out the window. Shots were fired and Marvin was struck several times.

Although still in Harborview Medical Center, Marvin was booked into King County Jail on Oct. 30 on second-degree assault charges.

A SMART investigation was initiated as Snohomish County law enforcement officers were involved in the incident and their respective agencies requested the team investigate.

If anyone witnessed or has information about the incident, please contact the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office tip line at 425-388-3845.

A good belly laugh will help your health It feels good to laugh once in a while. Everyone knows that. But laughter as a healthpromoting exercise is not as widely practiced, despite of the fact that scientists have long known about the healing effects of good humor.

In his best-selling book, “Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient” (W.W. Norton & Co., 1979), Norman Cousins describes his own recovery from a lifethreatening disease, which he credits in large parts to laughter.

At first glance Rolfing looks like a massage but with a couple of key differences. Rolfing is interactive.

It incorporates movement to stimulate nerve impulses to the brain while working on the fascia and soft tissue.

The focus is on the manipulation of fascia (the sheathlike substance that binds muscles together), which is what distinguishes Rolfing from chiropractic, which works with bones, and from therapeutic massage, which works on the muscles.

Rolfing is done on a massage table while wearing running shorts and a jogging bra. Rolfing also incorporates a component of movement analysis. It is common to work on the table for a while and then stand or walk to observe and recognize the changes.

People seek out Rolfing for many reasons. Many come to Rolfing to help improve their posture.

of mind. In Cousins’ case, it seemed that a positive attitude and specifically a great sense of humor helped him muster the inner resources needed to overcome his ailments.

This, obviously, is a dramatic and rare example of the potential benefits of positive thinking. More common are reports that laughter has helped ease pain and suffering, not just the mental but also the physical kind. A recent study conducted at the University of Oxford, England, found that belly laughs caused the body to release endorphins, which act like opiates by inducing emotional calm and enhancing an overall sense of well-being.

During my internship as a clinical dietitian, I observed these effects more than once.

I distinctly remember one occasion around Mardi Gras when a nurse dressed up in a clown costume tried her best to cheer up patients, some of whom were desperately ill.

That night, the nursing staff reported having dispensed significantly less pain medication than on other days.

Rolfing has become popular with athletes to help with balance and quicker recovery time from injuries. People are trying it as a way to enhance athletic performance and increase flexibility. This can help reduce injuries and nagging aches and pains. Increased efficiency in movement can help athletes to perform better and move with less restriction. Rolfing is an excellent foundation for and complement to yoga, pilates and other athletic endeavors.

Improve your life by improving posture

sitting at a desk in front of a computer can take a toll on your posture. Forward head posture is common in our increasing technological world. Forward head posture is when the ears are positioned in front of the shoulder instead of directly over the shoulder.

This can lead to slouching at the computer, while driving or simply sitting. For every inch your head is forward the equivalent of 10 pounds is added to your head which causes the muscles in the neck and upper back to work harder. This added weight and stress on the neck muscles and nerves can lead to headaches, poor breathing patterns, as well as neck and shoulder tension. Well over half the population has forward head posture.

Dr. Rolf had a theory that pain in the body came from basic imbalances in the body’s alignment, which can be reinforced over time by gravity and patterns such as carrying a purse

King County car thefts fall sharply Reporter staff

Car thefts in King County have declined by more than half since the inception of the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office implemented what they named the ‘Car Theft Initiative’ (CTI) in 2005.

Just seven years ago, King County ranked sixth in the nation in the rate of auto theft.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reported that for 2011, the Seattle-King County metropolitan region ranked 12th for the number of stolen cars. The number of auto thefts nationally is also trending down with a 3.3 percent drop from 2010 to 2011.

The Crime Bureau reports that auto thefts

nationally are now at the lowest point in the last 45 years.

The Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority is echoing similar positive trends statewide when it comes to auto theft. It reports that statewide, auto thefts have declined 43 percent from 2005 to 2011.

In the last five years, the average sentence for an auto thief has more than doubled from 27 months to 66 months in prison.

In 2007, the Elizabeth Nowak-Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority Act was enacted by the Washington state Legislature. That program provides grant money for assisting law enforcement in investigating and preventing auto thefts

in the state. It is funded by a surcharge on traffic infractions.

When the prosecuting attorney and law enforcement launched the new car theft initiative, there were approximately 17,700 reported car thefts in King County. In 2011, that number fell to 8,623.

That means that there were 9,000 fewer stolen cars in 2011 than there had been in 2005.

Using the National Insurance Institute’s average claim for loss of $8,600 per stolen vehicle, this decrease reflects a savings of over $80 million to King County insurers over the course of 2011.

The savings to citizens, insurance companies and the overall improvement to public safety have been enormous.

Constructing the full State Route 520 corridor from Interstate 5 to Redmond, including a new floating bridge and six-lane highway, is estimated to cost $522 million less than the 2009 legislative budget cap, the Washington State Department of Transportation said.

WSDOT finalized documents for a $300 million federal loan that will fund design and construction of the next portion of the SR-520 project — a westbound bridge between the west-end landing of the new floating bridge and Montlake.

At the same time, Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond ordered a review to fully understand the cause of concrete spalling and more-than-expected cracking in new pontoons.

Issues that occurred during the first cycle will likely lead to additional, yet-tobe-determined costs for repairs and schedule delays under discussion between the state and its pontoon and bridge-replacement contractors. Negotiations will take place over the next few months.

Bothell football season comes to end in Tacoma, second time in three seasons Two years ago the Bothell High School football team traveled to Tahoma High School in Tacoma to take on Bellermine Prep for a state playoff game. The No. 5 ranked Cougars’ season came to an abrupt end. So when Bothell drew Bellermine Prep Saturday during the second round of the state playoffs it seemed as if karma was coming back around.

But the Cougars fell behind early, making critical mistakes and giving up three second-quarter touchdowns from which they could not recover.

The Lions held off a fourth quarter rally to beat Bothell 35-30, ending the Cougars’ tumultuous season.

Crucial mistakes hurt Bothell, like a 91-yard interception return for a touchdown by Bellermine Prep to start the game. But the Cougars came storming back, first scoring on a two-yard touchdown run by Danny Wilson to tie the game and a 14-yard touchdown pass from Ross Bowers to Jared Berry to take a 14-7 lead to start the second quarter. Wilson finished the game with over 100 yards on the ground.

But another big mistake by

Bothell running back Danny Wilson powers through the line for a few extra yards against Bellermine Prep at Tahoma High School in Tacoma on Saturday. PHOTO COURTESY OF TONY QUINTOS, www.pbase.com/tquintos the Cougars gave the Lions the momentum back. A short run play became a huge 44yard scamper for Prep running back Lou Millie, as he broke free for the touchdown.

The Lions continued to add to the pressure, scoring again on a shorter three-yard touchdown run to reclaim the lead 21-14.

Bothell got three points back with a long 38-yard field goal by Alec Yarno, but Bellermine extended the lead again just before halftime

with its third touchdown of the quarter. The score pushed the advantage to a 28-17 lead heading into the locker room.

Prep pushed its advantage to 35-17 during fourth quarter but the Cougars never gave up. Bowers and Berry hooked up for a 57-yard touchdown pass to cut into the lead. Bowers then found Wilson for a touchdown pass during the waning minutes of the game. But a failed two-point conversion left the Cougars needing a third

touchdown to win and not enough time on the clock.

The Cougars committed three turnovers and a big penalty on a kickoff return that negated a touchdown.

The mistakes hurt the team’s chance to advance to the state quarter finals.

Bothell football blasts Curtis Bothell blasted Curtis 31-3 during the first round of the state playoffs on Nov. 3 at Pop

Keeney Stadium.

Wilson showed why he is so valuable, fighting through leg cramps to scramble for 82 yards on the ground and two touchdowns.

But it was Bothell’s defense, forcing five turnovers, which gave the Cougars a big advantage during the contest.

The Cougars began the game with a quick 7-0 lead, as Wilson scored on the team’s fourth play from scrimmage, a 19-yard touchdown run.

Curtis got a little back with a 28-yard field goal, but it was all Bothell for the remainder of the game.

Gherardini hit a 42-yard field goal on the Cougar’s ensuing possession to push the lead back to seven points.

Wilson then extended the advantage, carrying multiple defenders into the end zone on a 4-yard run. Darrin Laufassa added to the lead with a two-point conversion.

The turnovers began to mount for Curtis during the second half and Bothell’s Aaron Wilks made the Vikings pay for the biggest mistake of the game. Wilks took an interception on the 10-yard line in for a touchdown, giving the Cougars a 25-3 lead during the third quarter.

Bothell added a fourth touchdown during the final quarter, as Kizhan Proctor

scored on a running play from 10-yards out.

For Bothell, this season has been full of highs and lows. The team entered the season ranked in most top 10 polls for the state but then lost its first three games of the season.

The league schedule helped the Cougars get over the hump, as they went undefeated, including a mammoth 66-21 Spaghetti-Bowl victory against rival Inglemoor.

Bothell finishes the season with a 6-5 overall record and the Crest Division title.

The loss was toughest on the team’s seniors, as it was the last time they will step foot on a prep football field as a player.

Those seniors include: Derek Pedersen, Jared Berry, Darrin Laufasa, Jeremy Ruef, Spencer Curtright, Aaron Wilks, Zachary Alvis, Devin Fife-aebischer, Jed Aboulhosn, Jeff Hansen, Jared Markewicz, Will McIntyre, Riley Brohaugh, Dakota Warner, Alec Yarno, Joshua Dibenedetto, Reshon Watson, Camden McLeod, Brad Joyner, Connor Lobe, Davidson, Drew Williams, Kizhan Proctor, Mitch Wells, Danny Wilson, Tristen Bartsch, Anthony Thelen, Sean Hutcheson and Scott Williams.

communications between potential bidders and liquor store landlords.

“The May 11 deadline ensured that those people would have their liquor license by May 31 because they legally couldn’t have spirits without it (come June 1 when privatization was put into effect),” said Liquor Control Board spokesman Mikhail Carpenter.

As a result of the short time-frame, Roselli said some landlords gave adverse rates and length of terms to the new tenants. Retailers ran into problems, despite the effort of extensive public outreach from the Liquor Control Board.

Several stores have yet to open due to complications with leases.

Added expenses have also been a problem for some retailers since privatization.

When bidders began preparing their stores for occupancy, many discovered the hard drives in the Point [ more LIQUOR page 15 ]

were offered a slice of Washington’s billion dollar liquor business.

“Did they bid too much for the opportunity?” said commercial real estate broker

Byron Roselli. “Most everybody would probably say yes, but one of the reasons the bid amounts were where they were at is because of the way the state sold the packages as opportunities.”

After the auction on April 20, which had bids as high as $750,000 a store, the state put down a time restriction.

From April 25 to May 11 store leases or fully executed Letters of Intent had to be locked down as well as a full cash payment of 80 percent of the liquor inventory as of Feb. 1 - soon to be discovered as unfavorable, slow-moving merchandise.

“These transactions take some time – traditionally, lease negotiations (normally) could take up to one year,” said Roselli. “But the state was forcing complete negotiations and executed leases in two weeks.”

Roselli has worked with the Washington State Liquor Control Board on the placement of liquor stores in Clark County and was involved in

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com

www.nw-ads.com

of Sale (POS) systems for keeping track of inventory were removed and they had to “scramble” to load all of the inventory numbers, pricing, codes and other numbers into new systems - another expense.

“All bidders were counting on full inventories so they could compete but they used their cash reserves to buy POS systems and inventory,” Roselli said.

Carpenter says the hard drives were removed because they had secret information pertaining to bank accounts that linked to headquarters, but that was communicated to bidders beforehand.

And when retailers did do inventory, the slow-moving merchandise, such as the $250 Patron, was unsustainable and many were forced to buy more popular alcohol immediately.

The escalated pricing from distributors didn’t help either.

Customers are required to pay a 17 percent fee (includes the cost of goods, operating costs and profit), a 20.5 percent retail sales tax and a $3.77 per liter tax on all product sold. Roselli said taxes and fees make up more than 50 percent of gross sales in all stores.

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com

“The bidders realized they would lose significant business to competing retail but didn’t realize the impact of the 17 percent fee,” said Roselli. “I believe a major portion of the (previously state-run) 167 stores sold will fail by the end of the year.”

Because distributors negotiate price based on volume, outlets like Safeway and Costco could get much better deals if they bought in larger quantity.

“They (the bidders) don’t have the buying power,” Carpenter said. “The prices are determined by the distributor.”

Roselli said there are two major “quasi monopolistic” distributors in Washington - Young’s Market Company and Southern Wine & Spirits.

“From a bystander’s position, it’s absolutely incredible that this is allowed to happen,” Roselli said. “One of the primary issues that every political candidate is running on is jobs. These closures have meant several hundreds of jobs.”

Carpenter confirmed he had heard of liquor store closures but said there was no way for them to track how many since they were now private and had no obligation to inform the State Liquor

Control Board. He speculated a big reason could be because of the rise in competition since privatization but could not verify why.

Two other previously staterun liquor stores in Kirkland have also closed, but the Reporter could not confirm what led to those circumstances.

Other liquor stores which are still open report business is slow or just surviving.

Josh Boggs, assistant manager of Redmond Ridge Liquor and Wine, said that business has been fairly slow since the state was in the liquor business.

“We do have a lot of items that you can’t get at a Costco or other grocery stores,” said Boggs, adding that they carry

specialty items like high-end tequila, bourbon, scotch and gin.

However, those other stores are grabbing a large amount of the liquor business, Boggs added.

“To be able to see liquor right in front of you while you’re shopping, it grabs your attention. It’s a convenience factor,” he said.

Redmond Ridge Liquor and Wine, owned by Chuck Ferrel, has been open about four years and previously contracted with the state to sell liquor.

Abi Eshagi of Woodinville purchased the store at Bothell-Everett Highway 20617 for $110,000.

“We never opened (the Bothell store) because

November 16, 2012 [15]

we couldn’t get the lease,” said Eshagi. “What wasn’t disclosed was that someone already leased the location.”

Pete’s Wine had already applied for a liquor license in that spot.

Eshagi said that he has filed a petition with the State Liquor Control Board and that his lawyers are looking into the matter. He refused further comment on the legal procedures available to him.

He owns two others in the state that have survived.

“Sales have been OK,” Eshagi said. “But they have not been nearly what they were (prior to privatization).”

And yet, there are still liquor store owners who are optimistic.

Over at Premium Wine & Spirits on Redmond Way, manager Peggy Binckley said they’ve been busy since co-owners Jeff and Michael Roh took over in June.

Jeff bid $281,660 in a state auction in April to win the rights to the store.

Location may be key. The state turned the building at 16389 Redmond Way into a liquor store in April 2010.

And the brick building has some history behind it, according to Binckley, who said it was Redmond Mayor Bill Brown’s car-repair shop in the 1920s.

“People love this building — it’s dear to their heart,” she said. “The owners have gone to great lengths to restore it.”

White Gold

Digging British Columbia’s legendary mother lode.

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.
