State Parks looks to lease iconic Seminary

BY MATT PHELPS

mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

S

aint Edward Seminary in Kenmore stands like a regal beacon at the center of Saint Edward State Park. One of the most monolithic structures in the Northshore area, it is clad in brick with timeless architecture.

It is also a casualty of the Washington State Parks funding gap.

In recent years, Parks

officials have attempted to raise more money to meet their budget through various means, such as implementing the Discover Pass. State funding has nearly dried up and officials continue to try finding new and creative revenue sources.

For many of the Parks’ 770 buildings, funding has come from unlikely sources.

Leasing the buildings to colleges and businesses has been a popular way to save the structures from deterioration.

But the seminary is still out in the cold with an immense 90,000-square-feet of space and a growing list of repairs and maintenance.

“We are trying to find a way to take care of it,” said Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission Public Affairs Director Virginia Painter. “We are always interested in what we can do to take care of the building, and the space available could be appropriate for office space.”

She added that a lease “seems like a natural thing.”

Parks officials have had discussions with many businesses and organizations in recent years about leasing the building.

“We haven’t received a written inquiry but verbal interest,” said Painter. “They usually want to know how much space is available. We have been at it a long time.”

Iconic Bothell sign might be making a comeback among redevelopments

Holiday happenings Experience the magical arrival of Santa by sleigh from the sky at 7 p.m. on Dec. 7 at Country Village.

A traditional tree lighting follows his arrival, heralded by a town “town crier.”

The Village will be decorated with thousands of twinkling lights and whimsical animated light displays featuring a 40-foot sea serpent, fiddling pig, giant dragonfly, marching ducks and more. Various festivities take place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., including complimentary hot-roasted chestnuts served at 4 p.m. while supplies last, and local groups will perform holiday-themed music on the stage throughout the day.

This event is free and open to the public.

Train rides and pony rides are available for a nominal fee.

The Saint Edward Seminary was built in 1930 and was bought in the 1970s by the Washington State Parks. The building has 90,000 square feet of space but needs an estimated $40 million of repairs. MATT PHELPS,

New Country Village craft business operates on fun mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

J

anet DeGrave opened her business “The Creativity Place” in Country Village during August. But she wants to make fun, not money.

“This is a place where people can come and do arts and crafts,” said DeGraves. “It is free but donations are welcome.”

She said that “business” has been slow because the concept of a free place to do arts and crafts, where the supplies are free as well, is a hard concept for most to grasp.

“To me, I am having more fun if money is not involved,” said DeGraves.

“You can go to the playground and play for free, why not a crafts store?”

She said that all of

her costs, such as rent, her business cell phone, insurance and advertising, which comes to around $400 a month, are paid for by her husband. She said that she has accumulated $250 in donations since she opened.

“This used to be set up in my garage,” said DeGraves, who used to work at the Northshore YMCA. “When that got full I thought I have to find a new place.”

All of the craft supplies are things that she has collected and stored, were donated or were purchased for a low price. The supplies include everything from colored construction paper, clothespins, beads, markers, scraps of wood, scissors and glue, to ribbon, egg cartons, string and anything else resourceful and crafty. Among those craft

items are 2,000 plastic Coke bottles and more cardboard toilet paper rolls than she can count.

Most of the inventory is recycled or found in nature.

In all, she has 250 different items. She said she even has patterns for people, like her, who can’t draw freehand. But DeGraves wants those in the community who want to donate supplies to ask first, as she has limited space.

Located in building “M,” her space at Country Village is as unusual as her business model. The long narrow space is more reminiscent of a display area than a store. But the layout is perfect for DeGraves with all windows on one side and all supplies on the other.

She can accommodate between eight and 10 kids

for a given project. And being creative and having fun is the only criteria.

“Different age groups need different supplies,” said DeGraves. “I love working with all age groups.”

And she knows how to work with kids. She volunteered to be the arts and crafts director while she worked at the YMCA and said she put in about 60 hours a week.

“Safety with crafting is big,” said DeGraves, who also owned a daycare for 10 years. “We don’t have a lot of breakable items.”

She wants the kids to create openly with few boundaries.

“Ninety-nine percent of children know what they want to do,” said DeGraves.

DeGraves said that she has always loved being

“I was one of those people who loved staying home and playing with my kids,” said DeGraves.

“I don’t want this to be a chore to come to work. It is fun to be a community resource.”

For Halloween, she had 574 trick-or-treaters come to her store and she handed out a treat bag of things she had created with her supplies.

and also welcomes birthday parties.

Her hours are not always nine-to-five. Her schedule is always posted on the front glass of the store and on her Facebook page. She also invites those who want to come and do crafts to call her and set up a time to come by. Drop-ins are also welcome.

“Someone asked me if I was a business owner then,” said DeGraves. “I said I prefer some other title … like ‘fun master.’”

Davidson called 911 last year, first asking to be taken to a psychiatric hospital. When police officers arrived she asked them to take her to jail, saying “it’s really bad.”

Voters always have the last say

P

ublic input is essential in any democracy.

From elections, to how taxes should be raised, each citizen has the right to be heard.

The public outcry over the cost of a new Bothell City Hall has been big news. I have covered three different cities during the past five years and I have never seen 17 people line up to talk during a single public comment portion of a city council meeting. And to have all 17 give comment on the same topic in one evening, as they did during the Nov. 19 Bothell City Council meeting, is simply amazing.

The council voted on Nov. 26 to move ahead with getting a guaranteed maximum price from Vulcan Real Estate on Nov. 26. The building was expected to cost about $42 million two years ago.

Changes in state building requirements will only make that price go up.

The vote was 5-1 with only Councilman Patrick Ewing voting against the motion and Councilman Tom Agnew absent. But the process during the past month has been confusing for many citizens. And some residents have clouded the issue with missinformed statements.

Some residents were upset that the issue was not on the extended agenda for a longer amount of time before bringing it before Council. City staff confirmed that the issue was placed on the extended agenda on Nov. 1. The issue was then placed on the regular meeting agenda on Nov. 8 for the Nov. 12 meeting. One week does not make for an extended agenda.

City officials have been trying to get a new city hall built for at least a decade.

The current plan is five years in the making. During the month of November, city staff and Council members argued that point when asked why the issue was brought back to council “so fast.” A twoyear break due to the economic downturn was the catalyst for the delay.

But many things have changed during the past two years. Many residents have come and gone from the city. Staff and council have had some changeover. People forget when it doesn’t concern the building they work or live in. The development downtown has moved forward. While the plan for the new city hall did not change, many things

around it have. The economics have also changed.

The city staff and Council did a good job of waiting and taking extensive public comment on the issue. Council took comment from about 25 speakers during three council meetings. Those comment periods, along with Council discussions, were a total of nearly nine hours of talking.

Nearly all the residents asked for the city to slow the process down or to scale back the plans. Most speakers seemed to be just opposed to spending that much money at all, which is also a valid point of view. The economics of the plan can be debated. But the need for a new city hall is plain to see.

The current building is nearly 85 years old.

Slowing the process down could run the risk of making the building more expensive. Construction projects are still relatively cheap as we emerge from the economic downturn. Interest rates and material costs are low and labor is still relatively easy to find.

It is important to point out that the vote was not to move forward with the actual construction but rather to get the price of the construction. The $835,000 to get that price tag is not cheap, but at this point is a needed element to make an informed decision.

There are going to be plenty of people in Bothell Matt Phelps

who do not like the decision by the council to move forward. They have their reason and all are valid. No one likes debt. No one likes spending a lot of money if their opinion is that there is another solution. The 25 or so people who spoke during the meetings will and should have more to say in this project’s future and will get their chance.

But the one thing that struck me is that the only person leaving the council on January 1, Ewing, was the only one who voted against moving forward. He will be replaced by Tris Samberg, who undoubtedly would have voted the same way. During this year’s council election Ewing’s council seat was the only one vacated and the only one to draw candidates.

Deputy Mayor Joshua Freed and Councilmen Del Spivey and Tom Agnew were all on the ballot. No one challenged them. These three men were on the city council the last time the city hall issue was debated. This is not to cast aspersions about the job these residents are doing on the Council. It does however show one of two things: either there is a silent majority on this issue or there is a lot of apathy for city government issues.

Don’t trust State Parks’ motive with Seminary building Parks administration is likely flimflamming the public when it says public-private lease at Saint Edward State Park is to save Saint Edward State Park Seminary building.

In a recent article regarding a potential tenant for the Saint Edward State Park Seminary building, the Bothell Reporter website reported, “The monthly lease rate was not addressed in a letter of understanding by a potential tenant.”

Kidder Mathews brokerage stated: “It is our clients hope that we can put something together quickly to prevent further deterioration of the seminary building thereby avoiding the burden of potential demolition and related costs to

Washington State Parks,” the document states. “Per our discussion, we spoke to the city of Kenmore and Bastyr University. All parties are committed to work with Washington State Parks and each other to create a public-private partnership that will restore, preserve and improve the Saint Edwards State Park Seminary building for current and future generations.”

I would like to object to both the State Park and city of Kenmore secretive behavior that created the commitment “to public-private partnerships” for the State Park without public review. The push is on to lease the building by January.

Why? As the article states, $2.4 million was provided by the State of Washington to protect the building from further water damage and to build a large cistern, an ongoing water source for park landscaping.

Common Core and data mining?

Water was the main culprit in the buildings’ ongoing damage under Parks management during the past 30 years and that has been solved.

The client has chosen to stay anonymous and all parties are complying with the request.

The discussions went so far as Kidder Mathews representatives drafting a letter of understanding outlining preliminary lease details. And while some have speculated that the client is the U.S. Department of Defense, Painter said that is not true.

“It is not directly the Department of Defense,” said Painter.

Other sources have said that it is a company that works for the Department of Defense.

In the letter of understanding, the Kidder Mathews client would help maintain the building and perform restoration work. The document states that the “landlord shall be responsible for all structural maintenance, including the foundation, roof, exterior utility lines, floor slab and exterior walls.”

“I am sure that would come up but it would be a part of the bigger discussion,” said Lynn.

Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey said that McMenamins had some interest in the building during the latter part of the last decade. McMenamins is currently preparing to renovate the Anderson School Building for its new location in downtown Bothell.

“It was kind of a theoretical idea,” said Painter.

“We put out a query to see what kind of interest there was and McMenemins replied ‘we can see it being this.’ Ultimately, the idea was not pursued.”

Parks has many buildings and structures that are being leased as a way to maintain facilities.

“We have some cell towers and Fort Worden is a good example of where we have leased space,” said Painter.

Fort Warden is located in Port Townsend and leases to a college and some other businesses.

“We don’t have many buildings like the seminary in many places and most are not suitable for businesses to lease,” said Painter. “It is just a hand full of places.”

“We are honored to be one of only 18 communities in the U.S. to receive this recognition. The health of the children in our community is important to us as they are the future generation of leaders. The City Council strives to adopt policies and work with community partners to ensure that children have access to healthy affordable foods and opportunities for physical activity,” said Kenmore Mayor David Baker.

The accomplishments Kenmore has made in relation to the five goals include the completion of a needs assessment of playspaces, the launch of policies and programs to increase access to physical activity, and participation by the Northshore School District in the School Breakfast Program.

Baker continued, “We are fortunate to live in a community that tremendously cares about the wellbeing of children. We’re ever so thankful for the support of community organizations and businesses in creating free recreational opportunities and for joining forces to assist the City in or-

along at a brisk pace. The realignment was made possible by a new LIFT, or Local Infrastructure Finance Tool, bond where the state matches funds for infrastructure projects. Lamb said that the LIFT bond will pay for $15 million of the project’s principal investment.

was needed for the future growth of Bothell.

“We had studies that were showing that the traffic would eventually be backing up into the neighborhood roads if we did not do anything,” said Lamb.

Most of the road construction in the downtown core is on side streets, with through traffic on SR-522 nearly completed. One of those streets, Bothell Way Northeast, will eventually be reconstructed into a Multiway Boulevard with

The city amended the development agreement last month with McMenamins for a six-month extension.

McMenamins purchased the old high school building and plans to renovate the property to create a 70-room hotel, including a restaurant, pub, movie the-

In the purchase agreement, Bothell residents will receive free access to the soaking pool, community garden and meeting space for 15 years. The extension will mean a completion date some time in January 2015.

Some residents and local media have expressed disappointment at the fact that the old school district pool on the property will be converted to a four foot soaking pool and not left as a lap swim pool.

Councilwoman-elect Tris Samberg states that when the council approved the Purchase and Sale Agreement in 2010 the public was misled on the issue.

“Everyone in the community who was present that night was led to believe that we would get the pool back in its existing state,” said Samberg. “That is key - the expectation was we were getting a real pool for the $4.7 million ‘community benefit.’”

The actual contract does state that there would be a soaking pool.

“The verbiage says there will be a soaking pool, and then the next line says the pool will be refurbished,” said Samberg.

UW Bothell

BRIEFS

UW Bothell hosts interactive educational exchange with top educators A delegation of 30 top Chinese educators from South China Normal University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, of the Peoples’ Republic of China will participate in an Educational Leadership Learning Exchange at UW Bothell.

The Chinese educators are involved in a three-year practice-based program of study at South China Normal University. The UW Bothell Education Program is coordinating the academic activities of the delegation as well as arranging visits with many of its educational partners at local schools, school districts, and community organizations.

The director of UW Bothell’s Education program, Brad Portin, said the key to a successful exchange is to focus on engagement, rather than tourism.

“The learning sessions are about conversation and exploration around shared topics of interest,” Portin said. “School visits will highlight shadowing opportunities rather than just campus tours.”

On the UW Bothell campus, ELLE participants will engage with Education faculty members and University administrators in seminars on the U.S. Education System, Teacher Development and Leadership, and Post-Secondary transitions to higher education. They will also meet with representatives from the campus International Admissions and the Chinese Student Association to discuss differences in the American and Chinese education systems.

Dawei Yang, Vice Director of SNCU’s School of Professional Development and Research on Primary and Secondary Education, said he has high expectations for the exchange.

“UW Bothell has such a strong program in school leadership and principal preparation,” Yang said.

“We are confident our discussions with UW Bothell faculty will deepen our understanding of K-12 education in the U.S. and specifically in the field of school leadership develop-

ment.”

For one full day of their visit, the Chinese educators will join working teachers who are also UW Bothell students in a seminar that is a part of the UW Bothell Leadership Development for Educators (LEDE) program. These two groups will learn together, under the guidance of University faculty and practicing school principals. They will examine case studies, discuss differences in approaches to U.S. and China educational challenges, and expand their understanding of teaching practice and leadership.

ELLE participants will visit the Northshore and Tacoma School District offices as well as schools in the Northshore, Everett and Seattle school districts.

They will even attend a public meeting of the Northshore School Board.

Most of the schools visited during this exchange will have a K-8 certified graduate from UW Bothell. More than 200 are employed throughout the state, including high concentrations in Snohomish and King Counties. The program has also placed educators in school principal internships throughout the region.

UW Bothell partners Technology Access Foundation in South King County and the TAF Academy, a public/private partnership, 6-12 school in the Federal Way School District are also scheduled stops for the ELLE delegation. Founded in 1996, TAF offers STEM based programs to children in diverse neighborhoods of mostly low-income families in order to reach students disadvantaged by poverty.

This program is a collaboration between the UW Bothell Education Program, Pacific International Education, the Chongquing Municipal Government of China Municipal Education Commission, Alta Leadership and SCNU.

As parents, we are our biggest advocates for our child and we should be!

We want the best for our children. Sometimes, there are disagreements. This is okay. However, the way we go about “challenging” the process is key. Parents who disagree with a teacher on how something is handled should first go to that teacher and discuss the issue. Many times the issue is just a simple miscommunication that can be solved with a quick conversation.

Other times, this is not the case especially if the same problem keeps repeating itself with no solution. If we as parents feel the problem

Everything we do as parents should be in the best interest of our children. Whenever making decisions that affect our children, we should ask, is this what is best for kids?

And we must ask this of all kids, not just our child or a select group.

Parents who want to build a relationship with their child’s teacher must remember this. We are advocates for our own child of course, but when we step in the classroom we are there for all the children. The teacher needs us to share in this vision and make the job easier, not more difficult.

As parents, we must be ready to help all children succeed in our child’s classroom. Some par-

Challenge the Process

929304

Dear Local Parent, It is well known that when teachers and parents work together, students achieve at a higher rate. A year ago, I began my doctorate of education leadership at Seattle University.

During my studies, I read a book called, “The Leadership Challenge” by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner.

Because I am passionate about teachers and parents working together to create success for students, I kept framing this “leadership challenge” as a parent, as a teacher and as a leader in a child’s education.

Kouzes and Posner share five traits on how to be an effective leader: Inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, encourage the heart, model the way and empower. And so, to answer your question on how to build a positive partnership with your children’s teacher this year, I give you the leadership challenge.

ents I know just want to volunteer so they can see “what’s going on in the classroom.” This is an added plus of volunteering but this should not be the goal. The goal should be to help all children learn when we are in the classroom. Listen to the teacher.

Use the words he/she is saying.

When the teacher claps to get the children’s attention, you clap and encourage the same. When the teacher is explaining directions, listen. Being a classroom volunteer is just one way you can build a relationship and share in the vision of helping all the children there succeed. However, it is not the only way. Even if you can not give your time as a classroom volunteer, take

We as parents also must pick our battles at times. We must know when to challenge. My gauge is if there is immediate danger or emotional upset being caused to my child (ie. bullying issue) or if in the future the issue will affect other students in a harmful or negative way.

Most of all support your child at home by reading aloud to your child every day (yes, even if they can read by themselves), provide learning opportunities, encourage the passion of learning, and converse with them about their day.

Bothell woman collecting recyclable cans, hopes to attend marine research foundation

B

othell resident Maddy Dalgarn wants to make a difference for endangered marine mammals and sea turtles. The University of Washington biology student is participating in a scholarship contest through Dosomething.org to help her in attending the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation in New York. Participants have to collect as many recyclable cans as possible, with the winner receiving $4,000

toward housing for six months in New York.

Dalgarn hopes to work with the foundation to help rehabilitate sea life.

The winter is the busiest time of the year in the Northeast for the Riverhead Foundation, as it helps sea turtles suffering from the cold weather by nursing them back to health. The workers then release the turtles back into the wild during early summer.

While there, Dalgarn would be responsible for the care of all in-house animals and will help with the rescue and release of

seals, dolphins and sea turtles.

From a young age Dalgarn has always had a strong passion for the well being of animals. During a family trip to Hawaii, she fell in love with the sea turtles. She visited the Maui Ocean center and learned about their endanger of extinction.

“She wants to bring awareness to the public about how to help and conserve these beautiful creatures,” said Sean McVeigh with Country Village, where Dalgarn works as a barista at the Village Bean.

Dalgarn grew up in Bothell and attended Bothell High School.

When she is not studying towards a degree in Biology, she enjoys spending time with her horse or going for long walks with her dogs along the BurkeGilman trail.

Please drop off any aluminum cans or direct donations at the Village Bean in Country Village

by Dec. 12 to support Dalgarn.

For more information about the Riverhead Foundation visit www. riverheadfoundation.org.

He was also not at his best for the strongman competition - or so he thought.

“The day before the competition I could not bend down to touch my kneecaps,” said Castelli, who had a back injury.

But he had not flown 2,000 miles just to sit and watch. He instead achieved the impossible, winning the National title in 175-pound weight class, beating out two former world champions and a record number of competitors.

“It was definitely exciting,” said Castelli, who got some tips from a professional strongman on how to deal with the injury just prior to the competition.

“I felt better going into day two than day one. I think it was partly adrenaline and decreased inflammation in my back.”

The two-day competition is a grueling test of strength with six different events that would make most people shake their heads in disbelief.

During the first event, competitors had to clean and press a 220-pound axle as many times as possible in one minute. The second event consists of moving a 200-, 225- and 350-pound keg 75 feet in a wheelbarrow as fast

During the last event on the first day, competitors had to dead lift a midsize sedan as many times as possible in one minute. The second day started with carrying a 635-pound yoke frame 50 feet and then a 550 pound yoke 50 feet as fast as they can. The fifth event was a medley of clean and pressing a 135-pound dumbbell, 175-pound keg, 220-pound axel and 250-pound log in 60 seconds. For the final event, competitors had to carry three Atlas Stones weighing 200, 240 and 260 pounds each, 15 feet and lift them over a bar.

Castelli doesn’t think he was the strongest person at the competition.

“There are small strategic things you can do,” said Castelli. “I beat them by being faster and smarter.”

He said weight class is 185 pounds. that his conversation with “The rest of the world the man was a bit scary. does not like to compete

that small,” said Castelli.

The win at Nationals is not the first time that Castelli has been a trailblazer.

He grew up in Bothell and graduated from Ingelmoor High School in 2008. He planned to attend Western Washington University but the school did not have a wrestling program and he was not ready to give up one of his passions.

“They hadn’t had a wrestling program for like 30 years,” said Castelli, who helped to bring it back.

Castelli, 23, has only competed in 12 strongman events during the past five years. He got involved in the sport while at Western.

“I was in the weight room at Western when my roommate introduced me to Chris Lee, who was trained by Jesse Marunde,” said Castelli.

Chris Lee helped bring Strongman competitions to Western and Jesse Marunde was a runner-up at World’s Strongest Man in 2005. Marunde died in 2007 before Castelli could meet him.

“Chris has definitely had a big influence,” said Castelli.

Castelli, who graduated with two exercise science degrees from Western, said that he does a lot of weight lifting at Endzone Athletics and then trains for the actual Strongman events 12 weeks prior to the event. He said that his gym gives many professional athletes who train there a big advantage. The gym has a BioForce HRV or Heart Rate Variability machine.

“It manages the stimulus to adjust the training each day,” said Castelli.

The gym has played host to some famous professional fighters and local stars. Castelli helped to train former Seahawks quarterback Seneca Wallace on his first day at the gym.

“My eyes went wide and I was like ‘OK, don’t mess this up,’” said Castelli.

He said that he originally wanted to get his Strongman Pro Card but his win at Nationals has given him other goals as well.

“I kind of want to become the most dominant 175 pounder,” said Castelli.

Bothell City Council completes annexation of 6,000 residents The Bothell City Council adopted an ordinance annexing nine areas and 6,000 residents in King County during their Nov. 19 meeting.

Total area of the annexation is 1,005 acres. The areas range in size from 1.9 to 660 acres, and in population from seven to 3,980 people. Four of the annexation areas are islands of unincorporated King County completely surrounded by Bothell.

“We’re looking forward to the privilege of serving our new citizens,” said Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe. “We’re eager to demonstrate what makes Bothell a very special community.”

The annexations were initiated in February 2010 and processed under the city, county and fire district annexation interlocal agreement method.

This method, which does not involve an election, is most suitable for fill in annexations which square off a city’s boundaries and are undisputed by any other jurisdiction.

The nine annexations have been designated by city and county plans as part of Bothell’s logical service area since the mid-1990s and will eliminate a number of pockets of unincorporated territory that have been difficult for King County to serve.

The annexations will go into effect on Feb. 28, 2014.

The nine areas and estimated population numbers are: North Bloomberg Hill - 405; Hillside Estates - 39; South Norway Hill and NE 160th 3,980; Magnolia Dairy and South Westhill - 1,195; North Westhill - 380; Westhill Island and North - 34; Westhill Island and East - 7; Westhill Island and South - 32; and Maywood Island - 8.

The annexations implement the state Growth Management Act, which establishes that cities are the most appropriate providers of urban services.

The annexation process was initiated by resolution of the Bothell City Council in February 2010.

During the next three years, interlocal agreements were negotiated with King County, Fire District 16 and Fire District 36. Following approval of interlocal agreements by all parties, four notices of intention covering the nine areas were submitted to the King County Boundary Review Board. The annexations were approved by the Board on Nov. 15 clearing the way for the Bothell City Council to adopt an ordinance annexing in the nine areas.

PSE offers some customers incentives Puget Sound Energy is offering electric customers who live in manufactured homes and use electric forced-air as their primary heat source the chance to seal up leaky ductwork and receive other energy efficiency upgrades for free.

The service is being offered to PSE customers in Bothell and Kenmore. The estimated value to each customer is about $500, and the upgrades could reduce their heating bills by approximately 30 percent.

A large number of manufactured homes likely have leaky heating and cooling systems that have to work overtime, which results in higher energy bills. The program helps customers who live in manufactured homes install energy-efficient measures to increase their comfort and manage their energy bills.

To qualify, those living in manufactured homes must be PSE electric customers and use electric forced-air as the primary heat source. Eligible homeowners cannot have previously received PSE’S manufactured home energyefficiency upgrade service.

UCONS representatives will be going door-to-door with flyers to discuss the service with PSE customers. PSE customers can also request the service by calling UCONS at 1-800-828-8440.

secutive year and is one of two school districts in Washington state and one of nine in the U.S. and to be on the AP Honor Roll every year since it was established.

Since 2011, Northshore School District has increased the number of students participating in AP by 7 percent while maintaining a 70 percent rate of students receiving a qualifying score of three or better on all AP exams.

The majority of U.S. colleges and universities grant college credit or advanced placement for a score of three or above on AP exams. This translates into tens of thousands of dollars saved by Northshore families on college tuition. More importantly, many more students are better prepared for the rigors of college level work through their participation in AP courses in high schools.

The AP District Honor Roll was started by the College Board, the parent organization for AP, four years ago. Inclusion on the list is based on the following criteria: increase in participation in/access to AP by at least 4 percent in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts and at least 11 percent in small districts; increase or maintain the percentage of exams taken by African American, Hispanic/Latino and American Indian/ Alaska native student; and improve performance levels when comparing the percentage of students in 2013 scoring a three or higher to those in 2011, unless the district has already attained a performance level at which more that 70 percent of its AP students are scoring a three or higher.

STOP CHRONIC PAIN! FDA cleared non-surgical, drug-free, pain-free procedures that are safe and effective

HigHligHTS

Kristl’s Story “I was having constant unrelenting pain in my neck, shoulder and arm that made just being upright difficult. As a labor and delivery nurse, being in constant pain made it harder to support my patients the way I wanted to. After my shifts I had to spend hours on the couch with ice – Kristl C., Edmonds WA packs on my neck and shoulder. When I scheduled an appointment and saw Dr. Shelley, I was impressed by his thoroughness. He did tests no one had done before and based on his findings, sent me out for an MRI on my neck. The MRI showed I had three disc herniations that were causing my pain. After about a week of treatment I started to feel better and now my pain is completely gone! The treatment at Olympic is special because it is individualized, it is thorough and very comprehensive. Now, not only am I pain free, I’m back to exercising regularly and look forward to skiing, biking and golfing. Thanks to the posture correction procedures I’m sitting and standing so much straighter.

it’s like being around friends instead of just being in another doctors clinic.”

The Challenges of Daily Pain Dealing with the challenges of chronic daily pain combined with the disappointments of failed treatment after failed treatment can cause even the most even keeled people to become frustrated, angry and even depressed. Many back or neck pain sufferers have tried or considered surgery, chiropratic, pain pills, physical therapy, back pain relief gadgets or

injections for their back pain, neck pain or sciatica and it has failed. It can make them think they are doomed to live a life of discomfort. It makes many people wonder if they will ever live a “normal” life again. Even if you have already had back surgery or tried everything else, thanks to a combination of new FDA cleared treatments, there often is hope for even the toughest cases.

products. Instead, followers are encouraged to eat meats, seafood (wild caught) as well as certain vegetables and fruits, as long as they can be found in their original, unmodified state.

Intermittent fasting is also recommended.

Some nutrition experts and biologists, however, are skeptical of these restrictions.

The paleo diet is basically a fantasy, according to Dr. Marlene Zuk, a professor of ecology, evolution and behavioral science at the University of Michigan, who gave an interview on the subject to the German news magazine Der Spiegel.

“Its supporters assume that, at a certain point in time, our ancestors were perfectly adapted to their environment. But those conditions presumably never existed,” she said.

Other scientists agree.

“Scientists find it appalling

that a number of proponents of the supposed stone-age diet claim to be knowledgeable about a period of time that lasted around 2.5 million years and ended in about 8,000 B.C.,” said Dr. Alexander Ströhle, a nutrition physiologist at the University of Hannover, Germany. “On the whole, the feeding behavior of prehistoric man […] was very flexible.”

Besides that, “our modern food products are well removed from their wild ancestors. They have been extremely modified and, as a result, are more calorierich, easier to ship, or simply better-tasting than the original. So, even if we wanted to, we couldn’t live exactly the way our ancestors did,” said Dr. Zuk. As far as the health benefits of the paleo diet are concerned, they are so far undetermined. Some studies have linked the regimen to reducing blood pressure, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and triglycerides (a fatty

For humans, ancient or modern, the paleo diet is the optimum diet, says Dr. Loren Cordain, a professor in the health department of Colorado State University and author of “The Paleo Diet,” who calls himself the “world’s foremost authority on the evolutionary basis of diet and disease.”

Genetically we have not been able to adapt to our modern food choices, i.e. the so-called Western diet, which is largely based on processed foods and laden with fat, salt and sugar, he says. Consequently, we are now plagued with diseases that are caused by our acting against our nature.

While the council chooses to boast of the economic development they are bringing to the city, they also ignore the fact that since they took office in 2004 and 2006, that nothing has been done to improve our sub-standard local roads. Instead, road tax dollars have been used to construct the $17 million City Hall, and more importantly, and expensively, to pay for the increased operating costs. This has been a conscious choice by the City Council that puts pedestrian safety at risk for

substance in the arteries that can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke). But the strong emphasis on eating meat, including red meat, has its own well-known disadvantages. Also, followers of vegetarian eating styles (for religious, cultural or other reasons) will not easily be able to adhere to this diet.

That doesn’t mean there are no benefits to be had from the paleo diet. For those who are interested, there are plenty of food guides available on the Internet, like the Ultimate Paleo Guide, to name just one.

More importantly, however, dieters should still focus on the healthiest food choices, no matter what philosophy appeals to them.

Timi Gustafson R.D. is a registered dietitian, newspaper columnist, blogger and author of the book “The Healthy Diner – How to Eat Right and Still Have Fun”®, which is available on her blog and at amazon.com. generations to come.

When the city incorporated in 1998, according to the objective financial plan, the King County Road Tax was replaced with two new taxes: first, the city’s real estate tax imposed at the legal maximum $1.60 per thousand, and second, they imposed a new utility tax.

The plan clearly stated that the Council was now financially responsible for our sub-standard roads and this was the revenue source for it. The city Council however, has taken the position that none of that tax is for roads or is a road tax.

I have posted two links in a drop box to document the original financial plan and the council’s opposition to the stated responsibilities in it. At the Feb. 14, 2011 council meeting, now Deputy Mayor Bob Hensel, speaking for the council, went on the record, vehemently denying that the city has ever collected a road tax, while the plan he reads from says otherwise. As he read this into the public record, Hensel deliberately omitted critical language of responsibility, from the very sentence he was reading from, in an attempt to deny that these tax dollars were intended and needed for our roads and pedestrian safety.
