Haunted happenings around Northshore MATT PHELPS

Board approves ballot measures for new high school, levies

Ghosts, ghouls and gremlins will be gallivanting through the streets of Kenmore and Bothell in less than two weeks. But both cities have hauntingly good events for all ages. Here are just some of the fun haunts for this year’s Halloween festivities in the Northshore area:

Bothell during its meeting on Oct. 8.

Board members voted 4-1 to move forward with the plan for a $177.5 million bond measure mainly to build a new high school, along with an education maintenance and op-

erations levy and a capital technology levy.

“This is kind of the end of a very involved process,” said Northshore School District (NSD) Superintendent Larry Francois, who has met with residents and community leaders during

the past year to answer questions about the issue.

If voters approve the measure in February, the district would go forward with grade level reconfiguration throughout the district.

For taxpayers, the mea-

sures would replace the expiring bond and levies.

A home valued at $400,000 in 2013 will pay an annual tax rate of $2,116.

In 2014, that rate would increase by $20 with an expected home valuation [ more NSD page 3 ]

Community wages ‘War Against Brain Tumors’ to help Bothell mom

BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ crodriguez@bothell-reporter.com

Fussy babies, no sleep, disobedient kids - these are some of the things Nadya Tesar and her group of church friends have grumbled about.

But her good friend Krystal Warwick - a mother-ofthree with a terminal brain tumor - has helped them to put their lives into perspec-

tive.

“She said, ‘I’d love to go back to that, these things are going to fly by - enjoy these moments,’” Tesar recalled.

“It’s helped us gain perspective and enjoy our little kids and everything that comes with them.”

Warwick was diagnosed with oligoastrocytoma, a rare and debilitating type of brain tumor, in 2011. Doctors

recently told Warwick she has a 10 percent chance of beating the disease and last month she was placed on hospice care.

Tesar is now rallying the community to participate in an event she created to support Warwick. The 5 kilometer walk/run event, called “War Against Brain Tumors” will take place at 10 a.m. on Nov. 2 at Blythe Park

in Bothell.

“I came up with that name [for the event] because her last name is Warwick, but also because this really is a war,” she said.

Tesar, who is also a mother-of-three, met Warwick about five years ago at Mars Hill Church in Shoreline.

“We support each other and help each other through our struggles,” Tesar said of

their women’s group.

She recalled thinking about Warwick when she went into labor with her third child, who is now 4 months old.

“She would get so excited to go into labor, which is crazy. She saw it as empowering. She sees things differently than most people do.”

Bothell Chilifest brews up competition for charity

T

his is the seventh year that Dale Amundsen of Bothell’s Evergreen Washelli funeral home has fielded the same question: “Can I trust the meat?” The idea of a chili competition at a funeral home can be off-putting for some - until they taste the chili.

“It is a death defying experience,” jokes Amundsen.

But nearly 150 people enjoyed various types of chili, sweets, drinks and the company of neighbors for two hours during the seventh annual Chilifest Thursday night at the funeral home.

“It started out as a way to say, ‘we are not stuffy,’” said Amundsen. “We are apart of the community and we can have fun.”

There was no lack of laughter or a festive atmosphere. Many of the 11 cooks dressed up in Halloween costumes and dressed up their table.

“I love making chili,” said Ferris. “And this is a great benefit.”

The contest has a limit of 15 entries each year for a very important reason.

“Somewhere between 15-17 crockpots we blow out the circuit,” said Amundsen.

All of the cooks are

members of Great Bothell Chamber of Commerce, which helps organize the event that donates proceeds to Hopelink.

“I spoke to them and the donations and food we raised came to around $875 this year but that is a round number,” said Amundsen.

The event is free to all.

The only cost is a $1 to vote for the best chili.

Christina Parish of Kenmore Self Storage

won the People’s Choice award for her chili called “The Witch’s Brew.” She received a red garnet necklace donated by Olsen Design Jewelers in Bothell. The Burnt Spoon, given to the best hot chili, and Judges Choice awards went to John and Shelli Hugg of Hugg and Associates in Bothell.

The Most Creative award went to Amundsen’s wife Wendy for her Sweet Maui Chili.

The Green Bean award, for the best vegetarian chili, went to Dawn Spiegelberg of Bodywise for her “Chili-Dawn-Carne.”

Richard Olsen, of Olsen Design Jewlers, and his wife Susan Gardner took home the best marketing award. The Reporter staff received the Best Personality award.

Ingredients consisted of everything from chicken, bacon and beef, to vegetables, hot spices and even peanut butter.

Representatives from the Woodinville Costco also participated, bringing free beverages for tasters to wash down the chili.

Williams, Hirt vie for EvergreenHealth board seat

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

V

ice chair of the Evergreen Healthcare Foundation Kinnon W. Williams is taking on longtime incumbent Rebecca Hirt for the EvergreenHealth board of commissioners position No. 2 seat this November.

Williams said the board needs fresh blood and new leadership for the publiclyelected position.

“I have a different background and I would be replacing someone whose entire career has been at the hospital,” said Williams, who lives in Bothell and has raised more than $30,000 in campaign funds, according to the Public Disclosure Commission. “I think we need somebody with a wider range of experience.”

Williams is an attorney at his self-owned company Williams & Williams, PSC and has served as an elected Northshore Utility District commissioner for 14 years.

But Hirt, who lives in Kirkland and has raised around $1,800 for campaigning, said her nearly 30 years of experience on the board of commissioners proves her commitment to the health of the EvergreenHealth community.

“My commitment to the health of this community started as an employee when Evergreen had 76 beds,” Hirt said in the King County voters’ pamphlet. “I have knowledge of health care, a complex industry, and the experience needed to make difficult decisions facing the board in a constantly changing environment.”

Hirt opened the EvergreenHealth Midwifery Care to provide mothers with other options during her time with the board. She also co-chairs the board quality committee.

As a public hospital district, EvergreenHealth Medical Center is governed by five commissioners. Commissioner District position No. 2 represents the cities of Kirkland and Kenmore and is expected to make decisions on the hospital’s budget, policy and hiring the CEO, among other duties.

With an uncertain future in health care reform, Williams and Hirt believe an increase of insured patients will greatly impact the hospital.

Williams believes the hospital could play a bigger role in preventative care by

Man assaulted with baseball bat in Kenmore

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

Authorities are looking for a suspect who allegedly assaulted a homeless man with a baseball bat in Kenmore on Tuesday night.

The incident caused quite

a stir on Northeast Bothell Way, as King County Sheriff deputies responded to the Chevron in the 800th block in force.

“When we arrived we contacted a 20-year-old man who was bleeding from the right side of his face,” said

King County Sheriff ’s Office spokesperson Cindi West.

“The man is homeless and said he had slept a few nights in an abandoned firetruck near the 8300 block of Northeast 175th Street.”

focusing on proper nutrition or alternative forms of treatment, such as chiropractic or midwifery care, so that costs are reduced and people aren’t forced to go to the extreme.

“We could be more transparent in our billing process to patients, and through preventative care maybe we can cut down costs,” Williams said. “Whether people like it or not, public hospitals are taking care of people without insurance.”

And as more people get health insurance, the likelihood of those people using emergency care clinics will increase, while those who use the emergency room for issues that could have been prevented will decrease, he continued.

Hirt expects the influx of insured patients will call for an increase in demand

for primary care physicians, which in turn, she said, could lead to problems of access.

“If re-elected, I will strongly support the recruitment of well qualified family practice physicians and internists, both those employed by EvergreenHealth and independent primary care practices,” Hirt said.

Although, Hirt claims she’ll keep taxes low at a time when “revenues [are] decreasing and costs [are] increasing,” Williams said he is baffled that she would make such a statement.

Williams explains that total revenue has actually increased throughout the last few years - $807 million in 2010 to $1 billion in 2012.

And furthermore, tax rates have bounced around between that time at 30 cents per $1,000 to 51 cents per $1,000, he said. But despite it all, “taxes account for 2.5 percent of the budget” and

are “sort of irrelevant to the budgeting,” according to Williams.

“You have raised taxes consistently, but the bottom line is the taxes are such a minor part of the whole budget, you aren’t going to get any control out of it,” Williams said, adding he believes the hospital could be self-sustaining without taxes and that the cost of medical care is the issue at hand.

But Hirt said she’ll support quality of care and reduce wasted time and resources in all areas, which “has proven to decrease costs.”

Hirt, who received a bachelor’s degree in medical technology from Ohio State University and an M.B.A. in finance and marketing from the University of Washington, has been endorsed by Rep. Larry Springer and Rep. Roger Goodman.

of his belongings in the truck and went back to get them.

“When he got to the truck a white male, whom he did not know, jumped out of the truck and struck him in the face with a baseball bat,” said West. “The victim ran to the Chevron and called 911.”

Sheriff ’s deputies conducted a K-9 search that, according to witnesses, stretched

east to Wayne Golf Course and west down Northeast Bothell Way to 68th Avenue Northeast. West said that the deputies did not locate the suspect.

The victim described the man as a white male, 18 to 22 years old, approximately 5-foot, 10-inches tall, 140 to 160 pounds.

“He had long but groomed

blonde/brown hair and was wearing a red hoody sweatshirt,” said West.

The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center with a possible broken jaw.

Anyone with information about the assault is urged to call the King County Sheriff ’s Office at 206-263-9133.

The right to be wrong

f

As another election day approaches, incumbents seeking reelection and challengers seeking to hold public office are drawing the lines between right and wrong, as they see it.

They all bring their varied backgrounds, life experiences, perspectives and passions to their campaign platforms. Both incumbents and challengers contend that they are correct in their views and their opponents are wrong. Both see the “issues” of the city or other government body differently, and wholeheartedly believe their perspective is not only right but the only way a reasonable individual would think and believe.

Often voters are confused by candidates’ charges and countercharges. How are voters to judge?

Those seeking an elected position run on the premise that the governing body is not being run correctly, a change is needed and they are the answers to bring this change. Too often, they come with a burning issue and have no knowledge of the rest of the story on that issue. They are unaware of the history of what has been tried or accomplished or is scheduled to occur. They do not know the local, state and federal regulations that restrict or require action by the staff or governing body. And they have not fully listened to and analyzed opposing viewpoints.

What are these candidates’ motives and mission? Many come under the guise of “Why aren’t you (the incumbent or staff ) using the best practices as outlined by so and so to run your operation,” never looking into who actually uses these best practices in

S

the region they live in or the surrounding communities.

Many file to run with the anticipation that once they are elected they will be able to single-handedly fire a member of the staff, change a policy or regulation and lead the city into a “glorious future” without the benefit of working with others.

Some contend on the basis that their everyday work experience in the private sector can be used in public arena in the same way – lawyers wanting to be lawyers, accountants wanting to be accountants, not understanding what the roles of members of a policy-making board really are. Some come into the “political arena” a short time before filing for election and run campaigns as if they know better how to manage a city than those with years of experience in that function. These candidates would do things “their way.”

For those seeking re-election, the past speaks volumes regarding their contributions, accomplishments, actions or words. Does the record show evidence of working together for the common good, or making the hard decisions as a member of a policy board and living with those hard decisions?

Or does the incumbent’s record in office indicate negativity and the inability to work together as a team member? Do they promote their private agendas or consider themselves to have greater knowledge or experience than highly qualified and dedicated staff ? Have they gained the respect of the policy board members while “down in the trenches” fighting through the everyday battles all Glenn Rogers

D boards are confronted with? How do they respond when on the losing side of an issue? As individual’s living in a glass bowl, have their lives been transparent and worthy of the trust of their constituents?

Both incumbents and challengers seek to be elected by constituents that too often look to a neighbor, friend, political party or endorsement list to determine whom to vote for.

Too many vote according to how someone else tells them to vote without any knowledge of the issues the candidates support or oppose. They don’t take the time to do the research for themselves. Some make their decisions based on one issue and vote accordingly, forgetting there are other issues just as important on the table but these are discarded for the sake of the one issue.

Other voters decide on the basis of the candidate’s brief write-ups in voter pamphlets. Most voters do not know the candidates or what they stand for, yet these voters consider themselves educated and knowledgeable about the issues and the candidates.

The right to vote was given to us at the founding of our great nation. The following statement was found when I

did a Google searched the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution: “The Constitution has kept liberty safe by giving the people the right to vote. We, the people, have the right to select our leaders to help make our laws. And, we are also able to take the power away from our leaders, if we feel it is necessary.”

Above all the rhetoric, clamor, lies, distortions and loss of faith, Americans have a basic right. That is, no matter what, they have the right to be wrong in whom they decide to vote for in the upcoming election. No one can force them to elect candidates who are the best qualified to make policy decisions and who have the best interests of their constituents at heart.

However, I ask that you, as a voter, take the time to research the issues and candidates’ backgrounds.

Then vote wisely on the basis of this knowledge. Also, vote with passion for the betterment of your city, state and nation and become involved in civic affairs. Our future depends on an educated electorate.

for years. I am a retired attorney with an undergraduate degree in business law and an emphasis in accounting and am well aware of generally accepted accounting principles.

Hendrickson is not a CPA and therefore is not under the authority of the Washington State Board of Accountancy. The links he uses as “proof” of his charges against the city are spreadsheets and documents he prepared. He takes a few facts as he sees them and spins his own version of history.

The truth is that Councilman Van Ness consistently cautioned against the proposed City Hall in 2007 and 2008. Hendrickson was silent. Van Ness felt that the project was too big and expensive and that Kenmore’s economic future was uncertain. He met with the Uplake group numerous times, encouraging them in their campaign to limit the size and cost of the new City Hall. Meanwhile, a larger group of Kenmore citizens strongly lobbied for structured parking, green construction and building

for the future. The Council weighed all citizen concerns.

The Uplake group did not force a rebid of the project in 2008. Rather, the rapidly declining economy and status of the construction industry caused the city to void the original $15 million construction contract with the sole bidder and to request new bids. Of the 13 new bids, the winning one was for $8.5 million. Van Ness then favored the new construction. Investing in the building became a better option than leaving the cash in the bank, earning little interest.

Construction was completed on time and under budget, and the city paid cash. Furthermore, the building earned a LEED Gold environmental certification.

The closure of the King County Sheriff North Precinct meant Kenmore police needed a new home.

Today, Kenmore has a great City Hall that will benefit the community for years to come. It is affordable, sustainable and low maintenance with green technology and construction ― a good investment.

I am pleased that the City Council was able to obtain funding for the next phase of State Route 522 from 65th to 61st Avenue Northeast. It was one of the few projects that received money for construction in the last year. Our Council deserves credit for their work in obtaining state and federal grants of $8.8 million, which completes the funding of this phase of the project.

I urge citizens to read letters to the editor with caution and to critically evaluate claims, considering the author’s background and motivation. Are the statements a vindictive distortion of facts, or are they independently verifiable? I also urge citizens to focus on real issues, not on what happened years ago.

Stoltzfus letter promotes

religious discrimination I was disappointed to read the promotion of religious discrimination in the letter from Susan Stoltzfus published by the Bothell Reporter in the Oct. 4 edition. The letter basically stated that because a person has worked in a religious school and ascribed themselves to certain religious beliefs they should not be considered for a public position or office.

I fail to see how an individuals personal religious choices and convictions means that individual would not “help all students, without regard to their religious beliefs or sexual orientation,” as the author of the letter claimed. It is unfortunate that the author chose to ignore the part of the Community Covenant of Northwest University which states “we endeavor that all of our interactions and communications will show respect for the wellbeing of all, especially those who may disagree with us … Furthermore, we recognize the value of diverse opinions and that unity does not require unanimity.” Is the Bothell Reporter really a platform for this kind of discriminatory nonsense?

Thank you for your consideration.

Majority of Booth’s money from special interests As Bothell residents prepare to elect our new city council member, one might think it matters little where the candidates are getting the money to fund their campaigns. Yet the city council makes many decisions that can affect special interests.

A comparison of the contributions to Steve Booth and Tris Samberg, not including their and their spouse’s money, is quite revealing. Based on data available from the Public Disclosure Commission (www.pdc.ws.gov) through Oct. 6, 52 percent of Booth’s contributions have come from individuals not living in Bothell – why should they care? Then 28 percent comes from businesses, political action committees, city employee unions and other special interests. That leaves less than 21 percent coming from residents of Bothell.

Booth’s special interest backers include the Bothell and Woodinville firefighters unions. Why would they care? Because the Bothell City Council is considering turning our

Fire Department over to another agency where we will not have control over our fire and life safety services. Another is Republic Services – the garbage hauler. Are they planning to try to get the city contract away from Waste Management?

By contrast, fully 95 percent of Samberg’s cash contributions have come from Bothell residents.

At all levels in this country we can see the corrupting influence of money in elections. Who will be free to look out for the interests of the citizens of Bothell?

The answer is crystal clear: Tris Samberg.

Routinely bad procedures at meetings; vote for Samberg On Sept. 17, the Bothell City Council, led by Mayor Mark Lamb, exhibited a high level of disrespect for their fellow citizens and our legal government process when they voted to initiate the process for abolishing the Shoreline Hearings Board. Unfortunately, this was yet another example of what has become routinely bad procedures at Bothell City Council meetings.

For 39 years, the Bothell Shoreline Hearings Board has played an important roll in drafting shoreline regulations for two key water bodies in the city of Bothell - the Sammamish River and North Creek.

OUr extensive waterway trail system and our associated wetlands are a community asset enjoyed by thousands. Staffing requirements for the board are minimal except during the seven-year shoreline program review, the cost for which is born substantially by state grants.

Bothell advertised the vacancies for the board, scheduled, notified and interviewed three candidates.

On Sept. 17 the adopted agenda item was publicized for the appointment of three Shoreline Hearings Board members. However, this vote was aborted when Joshua Freed, with no prior notice, made a motion to consider elimination of the board.

Three council members opposed the motion on procedural grounds. It was also argued that the vote was inappropriate at this final stage of the process.

The vote was three to three, a tie vote, which under Roberts Rules of Order is a failed vote. Mayor Lamb ruled the vote passed.

When fellow council mem-

bers raised a point of order to the council chair, Lamb’s response was to challenge his fellow council members who disagreed to “appeal” his decision - that the tie vote was valid.

Unfortunately, such procedures at Bothell City Council meetings are not a rarity. Disrespect for citizens, for fellow council members and for proper voting procedures occur at almost every public meeting. A new level of disregard was reached when the motion to consider eliminating the board was allowed to proceed with an illegal vote, no notice, during an agenda item for board appointments at the completion of the citizen application and interview process.

Bothell citizens who value their environment and their right for a respectful and legal governmental process should vote on Nov. 5 for an independent council representative. Tris Samberg is that person.

Her opponent, Steve Booth, has been funded and endorsed by Mark Lamb and Joshua Freed.

Vote for a person who values citizen input and good government. Please vote. It counts.

Samberg stands for fiscal responsibility Tris Samberg is the bestqualified candidate running for the Bothell City Council this term.

She is responsible, knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. She has previous experience on the Bothell City Council and can begin working for the citizens of Bothell immediately. Prior to her council

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com experience, she served for 10 years on the Bothell Planning Commission, where she worked on many issues, including the Comprehensive Plan update, the critical areas ordinance and the Downtown Master Plan.

Even though Tris is not on the council at present, she is still engaged in the issues that the citizens of Bothell care about. As I campaigned with her recently, the issue of unfunded budget items continually came up. Most of my neighbors agreed that going into

debt for extravagant new projects made no sense. The council needs a balanced and independent voice so that it can set realistic goals that the citizens of Bothell can afford. Tris will provide that voice.

Tris stands for fiscal responsibility, council responsiveness to citizen input, downtown revitalization and parks and open space. I encourage you to learn more about Tris by visiting her website: www. trissamberg.com and to join me in voting for her.

Start here to make the pain in your back stop.

Marcia Stedman, Bothell

Vote Booth for Bothell I am writing in support of Steve Booth, candidate for Bothell City Council. Mr. Booth possesses superior knowledge of the issues facing the city of Bothell and its citizens. He has served in various and diverse capacities within our community and has been actively engaged in the issues we face.

His endorsements by prominent representatives such as Al O’Brien and Senator Rosemary McAuliffe demonstrate the quality candidate he is.

I urge you to vote for Steve Booth for Bothell City Council.

Susan Anderson, Bothell

O’Brien, Black honest residents

At a Swedish spine seminar, you’ll hear straight from an expert surgeon all about non-surgical solutions to back problems, as well as the latest surgical techniques. You’ll also learn about the advantages of being cared for by one of the largest spine programs in the state.

So, if you’d like to get started on a healthier, pain-free life, go online or call to reserve your spot. Then spend one evening that can make all the rest of your evenings a lot more comfortable.

We are a small community with a huge City Hall and a top-heavy staff while many of our children qualify for subsidized lunches. Yet, our Kenmore City Council increases staff salaries – and such favors are returned with expensive travel budgets and retreats. This council more directly voted itself lavish offices, and yet retreats and further insulates itself from residents’ and businesses’ concerns. Remember when residents pleaded for flood protection and businesses pleaded for viable access to State Route 522 during construction? The council’s response was sandbags and traffic cones - Bandaids to their failing policies.

We residents formed Kenmore with a vision quite different than our current reality of a staff that plays favorites through

wordplay and misinformation. Exemptions from state laws are justified by such doublespeak as naming all manner of entities “public utilities” and “maintenance.”

Kenmore’s driving force is government working for its own survival.

From three staff members during the first few years of our incorporation, the city staff has grown to more than 20, while our population has fluctuated little.

We are a city of supervisors supervising supervisors and demanding not just highend salaries, also retirement programs that grow exponentially.

As residents struggle with personal budgets, we must pay for this outsized staff for decades and suffer as a city with permit fees far more extensive and higher than Kirkland’s. Such fees make it difficult for residents to do home improvements and, perversely, the fees motivate the city to issue permits to subdivide sloping lots, which add to city-wide flooding. At one time, this valid issue was brought up

by Bob Black; the council ignored it for years, except for Councilman John Hendrickson who repeatedly objected to the city policies.

Hendrickson was also brave and correct the many times he warned us that city spending was being mismanaged and hidden taxes were on the rise. The city was granted enough funds to complete the renovation of SR-522 in a timely manner, yet the process dragged on, ruining businesses, with one-third of 522 in Kenmore left un-renovated due to cost overruns.

We now have a failing infrastructure and higher taxes.

Look at your increasing tax costs on just the Frontier phone bill. The council

chose Frontier because the increased taxes benefit the city coffers.

Hendrickson, understandably, may not run again. Remember when Councilman Alan Van Ness told the Kenmore Reporter that the City Hall would cost $5 million, maybe $7 million? Henderickson corrected that misinformation and paid for it in the past election with scathing personal attacks by Van Ness supporters.

Patrick O’Brien has likewise been attacked by the supporters of the current council. You have all heard the city version exaggerated by political foes ad nauseam, of Obrien’s “unsafe” grape arbor later converted to hold solar panels. You saw the photographs of that stout structure. The city did not have a solar permit policy, and city developer Debbie Bent wrote in an email that the city did not require a permit for solar panels. O’Brien’s solar panels were up for three years with a Washington State Labor and Industries electrical permit, and Puget Sound Energy issued a net metering agreement, yet the city decided after the fact that the panels needed a city permit and singled out O’Brien at a cost of $40,000 in city legal fees and personal monetary and reputation costs to O’Brien. Disagree with the city at your own peril. In politics, candidates cannot sue when the truth of what they have done or not done is deliberately mis-stated by political opponents, a strange law, and apparently when it comes to Kenmore city wordplay, there is not a fair day in court.

Healthy aging could be the next frontier of medical research

“Circulation,” the authors call on doctors and other healthcare professionals to include lifestyle changes more aggressively in their treatment regimens.

65 years and older was close to 40 million. By 2030, it will be about 72 million, twice as many as in 2000.

If even a small percentage of the elderly could be kept in reasonably good health, it would make a significant difference, not only in quality of life but also in expenditures for health care and entitlement programs.

“Delayed aging could increase life expectancy by an additional 2.2 years, most of which would be spent in good health. The economic value of delayed aging is estimated to be 7.1 trillion over fifty years,” the study report concluded.

In their assessment, the researchers emphasize that slowing the aging process at least in parts of the popula-

tion is a realistic goal that should be pursued sooner rather than later. In place of combating individual diseases, they recommend large-scale measures of prevention.

A greater focus on early prevention is also supported by many healthcare organizations, including the American Heart As-

sociation (AHA) and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND).

ather than spending all of their time fighting diseases, medical researchers should focus more on how we can enable an aging population to stay healthy for as long as possible, according to a study conducted by some of the country’s top universities.

Rethinking our priorities in terms of medical goals is becoming imperative, simply because of demographic developments, said the study authors. Populations around the world enjoy prospects of longevity unheard of only a few generations ago. Yet, overall health conditions of the aging are not improving as much.

“In the last half-century, major life expectancy gains were driven by finding ways to reduce mortality from fatal diseases. But now disabled life expectancy is rising faster than total life expectancy, leaving the number of years that one can expect to live in good health unchanged or diminished,” wrote Dr. Dana P. Goldman, a professor of public health and pharmaceutical economics at the University of Southern California and lead author of the study report. “If we can age more slowly, we can delay the onset and progression of many disabling diseases simultaneously.”

should be the focus.

Smith said that the city needs to be OK with being a bedroom community and focus on building more sports fields and restaurants. O’Brien said that the city needs to do a better job of writing contracts and feels his background would allow him to facilitate that focus.

Herbig and Van Ness want development to be focused in the downtown, while O’Brien and Black were focused primarily on LakePointe. Herbig, O’Brien, Black and Smith were all against the council’s recent passage of the business registration fee, while Van Ness said he voted against the measure.

One of the only contentious moments of the night came between Van Ness and Smith on the issue of whether the business incubator has a written out plan for the public to view and whether it has been a success with only three businesses created.

“I would have done the incubator differently,” said Smith. “They are not the kind of businesses that our tax dollars should be used for.”

owner is not in a hurry to sell.

The concerns for environmental safety of the industrial area continue to permeate the political discourse.

“LakePointe is a pile of gravel with a smokestack sending out who knows what into the air,” said Herbig.

Smith also took issue with redeveloping the land, citing a study on the economic viability of the land.

“If you read it with an open mind it says the market has decided what we have,” said Smith. He added that people are hoping and dreaming about something different that may be unrealistic.

Van Ness took issue with that conclusion: “They were concerned about a multi-use development … but once people come to the city the businesses will come.”

While all of the candidates agree that the city should not be directly involved in real estate transactions to lure businesses to the city and should just be a facilitator, they did not all agree what

propose and vote on ideas,” said Smith. “The main thing is to learn and listen.”

The city’s role in economic development was a big part of the conversation, including past real estate transactions and how to handle the construction industry properties at LakePointe.

“That land is more valuable for redevelopment than it is for the heavy construction that is there now,” said Van Ness.

A big portion of LakePointe is Lake Washington waterfront property. While most of the candidates want to see the property redeveloped, they didn’t all agree on how it should be done.

O’Brien was glad to get the question on LakePointe last, noting that the property was once a garbage dump.

“There are things in the ground that have not yet been discovered,” said O’Brien. “The land has to be cleaned up to be sold or developed. It makes no sense at all to do anything until you do a study. Let’s find out what is there.”

NSD to host open house for PACE program

October 18, 2013 that’s why. Because my heart is to support and love her and hope that this story can touch even more people.”

She said she has been “blown away” with the support she has received so far for the event.

When she began to look for event sponsors, her massage therapist told her to talk to Shelby Schenck, the owner of Run26 in

...obituaries Audrey Petersen Thomas

Audrey Petersen Thomas was born Audrey Ann on May 23, 1929 to Henry and Anna Kirk Petersen. She was one of seven children born and raised on the family farm in Tyler, Minnesota--a town she fondly described, “where even the O’Tooles are Danish.”

Upon graduating, she attended Mankato State Teachers College and taught school in a one-room schoolhouse until her brother told her United Airlines was hiring and encouraged her to apply.

Shortly thereafter, she began her training as a stewardess, eventually flying out of Denver, Chicago and Seattle, where she met Donald G. Thomas.

They began their married life together on September 8, 1954 - first settling in Bellevue, then moving to Bothell, where they spent 30 years, and retiring to Tacoma. With each community, Audrey gave of her time and self: she was a Den Mother for Cub Scouts, Brownie Leader for Girl Scouts, and a tireless volunteer for her children’s schools, earning her the Golden Acorn Award. She was a member of the Altar Guild at First Lutheran Church of Bothell, a caregiver for her own mother, and the neighborhood “mother” of her children’s many friends. She was loyal to her dear friends, and always welcoming new ones.

After moving to Tacoma, she continued to give of herself at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, Mary Bridge Children’s Foundation, Pierce College Foundation and countless other organizations: Audubon Society, The Humane Society, Lakewold Gardens, to name a few. Audrey volunteered in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as a baby “rocker” and also won the hearts of the doctors and nurses who knew her. She was kind and friendly to everyone and was well loved in and around their neighborhood in the Proctor District.

Audrey was a talented seamstress, artist and gardener. She loved her garden both at home and at the family beach home on Camano Island. She also enjoyed reading and putting together puzzles. Audrey was proud of her Danish heritage, and had perfected the art of many traditional Danish foods, including Ebelskiver and Kransekake, which she lovingly made and shared with friends and family. She always had music playing wherever she was, and made sure each of her children were taught to appreciate music and play an instrument.

She loved animals, especially her miniature schnauzer, Rudy.

Audrey was proud of all her children and grandchildren, providing loving support to each one of them in their separate endeavors. One of her classic phrases was “You’re my favorite today.” She made everyone feel like her “favorite.”

She left us peacefully on October 4, 2013 and will be missed beyond measure.

Audrey is survived by her husband of 59 years, Donald Thomas; son and daughter-in-law, Kevin and Fran Thomas, grandsons Conner and Avery Thomas of Kent; daughter Kathryn Walkley, grandson Ethan Walkley of Tacoma; daughter and son-in-law, Karen and George “Scott” Scott, grandson Morgan Myers, granddaughter Anna Myers of Tacoma; daughter and son-in-law, Jane and James Bigelow, grandson James Bigelow of Tacoma.

Private interment will be held at Tahoma National Cemetery. A celebration of Audrey’s life will held on October 26, 2013. Please contact Kevin Thomas at wirekat@comcast. net for information. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Mary Bridge Children’s Foundation, PO Box 5296, Tacoma, WA 98415-0296.

“He already read our story in the Bothell Reporter; his heart was already open to help Krystal,” she said.

Schenck named Run26 in honor of his brother, Steve, who was born on the 26th of July and passed away from a brain tumor at the age of 13.

“It was really cool to see he already knew about her,” Tesar added. “It was crazy I came in to talk to him on Sept. 26, which

is the day his brother died. They didn’t know he had a tumor on his brain stem. He does tons of marathons to support brain tumor research.”

Her biggest obstacle was getting the city of Bothell to allow her to have the event in November. City staff told her the process would take at least 60 days to process the event permits in Bothell and other jurisdictions. But Tesar said time was of the essence and she needed to set things up right away.

“We kept praying and then everything just came through,” Tesar said.

“The biggest thing was to do the event while Krystal is still here, so the fact the city said ‘yes’ is a miracle.”

The event is a familystyle charity run, so people of any fitness level are encouraged to participate.

Event proceeds will benefit both the Warwick family and braintumor. org. Participants can elect what percentage of their donation to give to the organization, which Microsoft will match, said Tesar, whose husband

Though donations will be graciously accepted, Tesar said the event is not about the money.

“It’s to bring the community together to not only support someone in our community, but to help raise money towards curing this, perhaps,” she said.

Cindy Sheff, Warwick’s aunt, said the family is “incredibly blessed” that Tesar and others in the community want to honor Warwick with this charity event.

“It is the ongoing support of our friends that gets us through the
