Ron Belcher and Stacy Murphy were voracious readers, and they invited students and staff members to follow them along that path.

“That’s why we’ve cho-sen this statue for both principals — to remind us of them,” said Westhill Elementary second-/third-grade teacher Kathy Easton while pointing to a picture of a bronze statue featuring two children sitting on a bench and reading a book.

Belcher — who died from Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2010 at age 65 — and Murphy — who died from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011 at age 45 — both served as principals at the Bothell school and are both remembered as strong, car-ing people who lived their days to the fullest.

Each person rarely had a book far from their hands and stressed literacy wherever they went.

“I think it’s important for the kids to understand this — these people

made a difference and inspired all of us,” said Easton, who is part of the Westhill Elementary Care Team that is raising funds to purchase the me-morial statue in honor of the princi-pals.

The team began raising money in September, and at press time had garnered $2,134.10 of its goal amount of $3,198.95 to purchase the 2 ½-foot-by-4 ½ foot statue. With the help of donations, a small grant from a state re-tirement organization, some PTA money and cash from a few raffles (for Easton’s sticky buns and a chocolate cake), the team is 67 percent

of the way there and hopes to have the statue at the school by springtime.

Naturopathy is a ho-listic system, meaning that naturopathic doctors strive to find the cause of disease by understand-ing the body, mind and spirit of the person. Most naturopathic doctors use a variety of therapies and techniques (such as nutrition, herbal medi-cine, homeopathy and acupuncture).

“I think Joe Pizzorno and Michael Murray would agree with me that the reason we’re in medicine is because we cannot accept that people have to die miserable deaths of cancer and arthritis and diabetes and heart disease and all the things that just bring us down,” Standish said. “We believe that we can be healthy and live a very long productive life and

do meaningful things and change the planet, but you need a good body for that.”

Standish, who has worked at Bastyr for more than 20 years, is also a research profes-sor for the School of Naturopathic Medicine at Bastyr and serves at the University of Washington as a clinical professor for its School of Public Health and an affiliate research professor in its radiology department.

Pizzorno, who is presi-dent of SaluGenecists Inc. and editor of “In-tegrative Medicine: A Clinician’s Journal,” said that he’s proud of helping Bastyr become the first accredited, multidis-ciplinary university of natural medicine. Also ranking high on his list of accomplishments is when he was appointed

by President Clinton in December 2000 to the White House Commis-sion on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy. He has been li-censed as a naturopathic physician in Washington state since 1975.

Murray currently serves as director of product development and education for Natural Factors and is president and chief executive of Dr. Murray Natural Living Inc.

“One of the great myths about natural medicines is that they are not scientific. The fact of the matter is that for most common illnesses there is greater support in the medical literature for a natural approach than there is for drugs or surgery,” Murray said on his Web site.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE

INFORMATION NIGHT ON TAPInformation night for parents and

Let there be Light-house at Northshore’s Secondary Academy for Success (SAS).

Because of its strong focus on science, tech-nology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, small teach-er-to-student class ratio for effective instruction and partnerships with organizations like 21 Acres, Brightwater and McKinstry to solidify environmental aware-ness into students’ minds, SAS will receive a $20,000 grant from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.

SAS, which is located in Bothell, is one of five schools and one school district in the state to garner Lighthouse honors.

Randy Dorn, state superintendent, will present representatives from SAS and the Career and College Readiness program with the award at the Feb. 14 school-board meeting.

“One of the focuses for SAS has been to think about a sustainable environment. We have a sustainable engineering technology and design class that is a core focus of the program, as well as the school itself,” said Principal Vicki Puck-ett. “(The school) was designed and built to be energy efficient and to educate students and community members, parents and staff.”

SAS consists of every-thing from solar panels to a successful recycling program to an interac-tive-educational kiosk that shows how much energy they’re generat-ing with wind, solar and water.

And that’s just a few examples, Puckett said, adding that SAS instruc-tors are as environmen-tally conscious as the students, urging their charges to refill their

water bottles and engag-ing them in discussions about global warming and how different food products break down and affect the environ-ment.

Mike Wierusz’s sus-tainable engineering technology and design class is a hot spot for students who are retro-fitting a 20-foot cargo trailer and transforming it into a mobile green learning lab — named the Green Machine.

“We’re going to take it around to different elementary schools and just teach them about ways they can incorpo-rate green living into their life; get it in their minds,” said Victoria Arno, a Bothell High ju-nior who takes Wierusz’s class in the morning. “It’s fantastic. This is where we need to be going for the future into more green things, so that we can preserve the planet.”

The machine will feature wind-turbine energy kits and a bicycle that generates energy when you ride it and can power a DVD player, for example. SAS students will also discuss recy-cling with the elemen-tary students, among other green topics.

Larissa Maninger, a Woodinville High senior, is part of the marketing team that is working with partners — such as Brightwater — to help with signage and other features for the Green Machine.

“I’ve never taken an off-campus class, so to do something so big my senior year — I’ve al-ways been interested in science — it’s really fun,” Maninger said.

Wierusz added that the Green Machine is special because “you’re taking the message out and helping other schools. It’s a small starting point on a big scale.”

Puckett said the Lighthouse money will also go toward start-ing a robotics program, purchasing more green-education signage and keeping its building of a greenhouse on track.

The greenhouse

“gets students to start thinking about organic farming, and hopefully the products we use out of the greenhouse we can use here in school in lunches and in the home-arts class that they take,” the principal added.

Students also learn about organic farming at 21 Acres in Woodinville.

SAS counselor Kjerstin Lee appreciates what she sees at school each day.

“SAS is a really great place to be. The staff that work here, we never leave because we like it so much,” she said.

“We just have really interesting kids, and they’re really out-of-the-box kids, just individu-als — and I learn a lot from them every single day. The staff at SAS is really special, as well. The teachers are really caring and they just re-ally enjoy being here. We see a lot of great things that happen with kids.”

Which way do you go?Some mornings, I’ll drive from my north Seattle

home along Lake City Way through Kenmore and Bothell en route to the Reporter’s offi ce in Kirkland. Other days, I’ll horseshoe it around Interstate 5 to Interstate 405 and blast up to Totem Lake.

I usually don’t have a problem with State Route 522, even since the State Route 520 bridge tolling went into eff ect last month and people are hitting that road harder.

It’s a pretty smooth drive for me. Sure, there’s some more traffi c on the road nowadays, but I guess I’m lucky to avoid any sort of mess because of my brilliant timing, right?

However, variety is the spice of life, and I like to do the 5-to-405 thing some days. Th at’s turning into a big mistake lately. Instead of blasting to the offi ce along the 405 corridor, it’s been a painfully slow crawl with everyone doing the same thing to avoid paying the tolls on 520. Now we’re “paying the price” big time on 405, as well. I’ve learned my lesson, though, and I don’t plan on 405-ing it the whole way anymore. (I’ve still got to deal with it from 522 and on to Kirkland; but there’s also the choice of cutting up other roads and across to work.)

Kenmore Mayor David Baker and others are fi nding life on 522 and other local roads tough these days, too. (From my driver’s seat on Wednesday

morning, I could see cars galore heading westbound on 522 through Kenmore; as I made my way down through Bothell, it didn’t seem too backed up on 522.)

One day last week, Baker was set on taking 522 up to Lake Forest Park and then on to I-5 for a meeting in Olympia.

“It took forever,” said Baker, who left City Hall at 8:55 a.m.; 35 to 40 minutes later, he fi nally found I-5.

From the data he’s seen, Baker noted there’s about a 13-percent increase of traffi c on 522 since the tolling began. “A number of residents I’ve talked to say it’s taken 20 to 30 minutes longer to get into downtown than it used to,” he said of Seattle-bound drivers.

Simonds Road Northeast and 68th Avenue

Northeast/Juanita Drive Northeast are also seeing some extra auto action, said Baker, who added that two car-counter tubes have been placed on those roadways. He’ll get back to us with statistics soon.

So we’ve all heard about 522 getting bombarded with traffi c, but what’s life like on those other roads?

“In the morning, there’s a much longer line of cars up Simonds Road from Juanita than there used to be,” Baker said. “And the queue is back out to the bridge with people taking 522 to 68th and then a left onto Simonds.”

When I told Baker about my ordeal on 405, he shot back with a laugh: “You’re the reporter, you’re supposed to get out there.”

Agreed upon, Mr. Mayor, we’ll see how it goes. Good luck out there.

One reader’s perspective on educational costs

Th e recent street demonstrations by teach-ers for increased funding requires at least an attempt to give a little historical perspective to educational costs.

It takes 36 years for pay to double at an an-nual increase of 2 percent per year.

In 1960 in the Puget Sound area, teacher pay was in the neighborhood of $4,700 to $5,500, with very generous medical (full coverage), re-tirement (some could retire at 52 comfortably), sick leave (two weeks that accumulated) and various insurance subsidies.

In 1980 — not 36 years later — but 20, teacher pay had doubled, ranging approximately from about $10,000 to high $12,000s. Th e benefi ts were equally good, but there more state subsidized investment and insurance possibili-ties.

In 2010, salaries ranged from about $50,000 to about $70,000, but there has been a slight diminishment in the benefi ts, although the cost for the benefi ts in each successive period was more.

Th is is base pay and doesn’t include pay for a variety of possible activities.

Many teachers are married to other teachers.Given there was more than a 10-fold increase

in pay from 1960 to 2010, there was more than a thousand-percent increase in costs during this period, making clear that either there was much

larger societal infl ation than is governmentally provided, or that teachers have continued being comfortably middle class, especially for the two-income ones. One only needed to sit in faculty rooms just before summer vacation or just aft er it in these three periods to hear talk making clear just how comfortable life is for many teachers. Interesting trips, vacations. Earnings made in summer jobs. Newer cars.

Th e teachers enjoy equating state support with “the kids.” Meaning that if more and more money is spent on education, then the “kids” educational growth markedly benefi ts. But back in the 1960s, colleges were not complaining about the lack of skills that high-school gradu-ates brought to them. And employers rarely complained about lack of basic skills. Remedial education was less costly, and special education didn’t take up half of all district income. And back in the 1960s, there were very few of the ad-ditional costs that are now abundantly available: many kinds of teacher assistants, graders and much more support staff .

Also since then the education system has had to do multiple broadenings of basic education defi nition, and standardized tests have been dumbed down.

How does U.S. educational achievement com-pare with most other countries today?

Readers should look up answers to this, and then ask themselves what are the effi cacy of the teacher arguments in the demonstrations.Richard Pelto, Kenmore

Ban on cell phones uselessBanning all cell phone use while driving may

not be the answer. Cell-phone use is addictive and is perceived by many as safe, especially when it is done hands-free. Addictive behavior is diffi cult to stop even when it is illegal.

In states where cell-phone use is now banned, there is evidence that many accidents are caused by drivers trying to hide their phones while using them.

One of the things to consider is that Ameri-cans don’t obey laws if they think the law is unfair, feel they won’t be caught, can aff ord the fi ne, or can get out of being convicted because they have a good lawyer.

People fl aunt the cell-phone law that is cur-rently in eff ect because they mistakenly believe they are safe doing so and the chance of getting caught is so slim.

You can’t ban everything that is a distrac-tion — we have all seen people eating a burger, putting on make-up, programming a GPS, or turning around to check on a toddler sitting in the back seat.

It oft en isn’t the distraction that is truly the cause of the accident, but rather the fact that a driver may be following the vehicle in front of him too closely. How oft en do you see a line of cars traveling at 60 mph with only two car lengths between them?

Whether a driver is distracted or not, if the [ more LETTERS page 5]

vehicle in front of him slows suddenly, he will not be able to stop his vehicle in time to avoid a crash.

According to studies, the “thinking, reacting, stopping” distance of an alert driver is at least 240 feet. It takes about 3.5 seconds before you can bring your car to a stop.

I fully support a ban on texting while driving but I wonder if the law will actually keep a teen from overcoming the urge to look at his phone when it buzzes.

Adults in Washington aren’t setting a good example by ignoring the “hands-free only” law now in eff ect. I am one of the few people I know who doesn’t own a cell phone, and I know I am a better driver because of it.

Common sense should be a greater mo-tivator than the fear of a penalty.

If you can’t ignore the ringing or buzzing of your phone while driv-ing, then turn it off or leave it at home!Margarette Bull, Kirkland

Arts of Kenmore mem-ber Roland Lindstrom looked at the organization’s budget and said, “We’ll go for it.”

And they went big, recently handing off $3,200 worth of grants to fi ve area schools to enhance arts education. Th e 17 grants and total monetary amount are record highs for the Arts of Kenmore, which gives out grants each year.

“Th ese are broadening experiences for the young people and we’re so happy we can help with that,” said Arts of Kenmore’s Jo Ann Evans. “With schools just really struggling to fund their programs, they’re so

lucky in the Northshore School District to have (top-notch) arts and music programs.”

Th e grants enabled Inglemoor High’s music and drama departments to

hire a viola coach, acquire jazz CDs for the listening library, purchase materials for building theatrical sets and hire a choreographer. Kenmore Junior High was able to purchase desktop

easels and music stands, pay a vocal coach and provide band supplies to under-privileged students. A grant to Arrowhead Elementary funded supplies for fi ft h-grade students to make quilts in the Americana Quilts project. Kenmore Elementary received a grant to support the PTA Art Docent Volunteer Program. Grants to Lockwood El-ementary helped fund fi eld trips to the Village Th eatre, Seattle Art Museum and a Seattle Children’s Th eatre drama workshop.

Evans noted that reaction from teachers has been great, and the kids are able to keep their fi rm grip on the arts, Lindstrom added.

“Arts and music pro-grams are tremendous in

Northshore; there’s a big interest, there always has been,” Lindstrom said. “It’s amazing how much talent is out there. It’s got to start in school.”

Arts of Kenmore, which will hold its annual art show June 20-24 at Bastyr University, also invites students to send in their art projects to place on its Web site at www.artsofk enmore.org.

Th e organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofi t funded primarily by donations. To contribute to this com-munity program, donors may mail a check to Arts of Kenmore, P.O. Box 82767, Kenmore, WA 98028-0767. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent of the law.

Specializing in Early Childhood Education

Ages 2-7, M-Fup to 4 hours/dayTh e New York Times

recently published an article about Finding Good Apps for Children with Autism. Th is is certainly a daunting task, as at last count there were more than 140,000 apps for the iPad alone, and more than 500,000 for the iPhone! Th ere are many apps available that are designed to work on lan-guage, fi ne motor skills, and cognition, as well as a multitude that were designed for fun, but can be adapted to facilitate skill development.

One term mentioned in the article is the idea of “self-learning.” Th is is when a child would be using an app on

their own, and the app provides feedback on performance (correct/incorrect). Although this can be a valuable expe-rience, your child may learn more if technology time becomes more in-teractive. Many children with autism struggle with social skills; isolation activities, such as self-learning, do not further those important interac-tion skills. You can join your child, using the app together, and practice skills like turn-taking and giving and following directions.

Please be sure to share some of your favorite apps with us! I am cur-rently exploring using apps in speech therapy as a new way to target receptive and expressive language skills.

Respect and tolerance are values and admirable traits. As a parent, you can weave lifelong lessons of respect and tolerance into your family’s everyday life. Here are some ways.

Be a respectful role model. Speak to your child using words that demon-strate respect. .

Teach your children that they have value and the importance of self-respect. You can help your child understand the concept of self-respect by applying it to concepts like pride and self-worth. Even simple things like eating healthy, using good hygiene and getting enough sleep help children learn self-value through learning to care about their

own well-being. Children must learn the importance of self-respect before they can be expected to respect others or show concern for others.

Should your child say something inappropri-ate, don’t overlook your child’s disrespectful com-ments because you may be uncomfortable or even embarrassed. Children tend to possess a very egocentric view of the world. Th ey of-ten assume that everybody is just as they are; acting and talking as they do. When children see some-one who isn’t just like them, they may make comments that appear rude to adults. If and when your child does this, use it as a “teachable

moment.” Th is lesson takes on a greater signifi cance when we display through

our own actions respect and tolerance of people who ap-pear to be diff erent from us.

“The memorial is to honor these people and have another section of our school grounds be a showplace that we can be proud of,” Taylor said.

Taylor and Easton de-scribed Belcher and Murphy as people who cared about others and always wanted to include both students and teachers in all activities, whether it was dancing in a talent show, a contest to see how many books kids could read or gathering people for story time or at staff gatherings in their homes or at Starbucks.

Murphy was a Starbucks girl, Taylor said: “We always used to laugh at her and say, ‘Stacy, we’re going to start keeping track on the calendar, how many Starbucks can one principal drink in the day and still be able to sleep at night?’”

Laughter ensued when Taylor recalls the time Belcher — who was at Westhill from 1988-98 — roller skated around campus for a full day because students reached their goal of reading a wealth of books.

“He was very tall and athletic and played basketball and tennis, but roller skating was not one of his fortes,” said Taylor, who noted that Belcher soon belted a pillow around his behind because he took a fall. “He said, ‘I can’t take too many more falls on these skates.’” He lasted the whole day on skates, Taylor added, so the kids could see that he was following through on his commitment.

After being diagnosed with his disease, Taylor said that “he carried on admirably because his philosophy was, ‘If I can keep moving, maybe I can beat this thing.’”

Easton described Murphy

— who worked at Westhill from 2003-07 — as a fun-lov-ing person who once surprised the staff by baking cookies for Easter and asked them to join her in icing the treats.

“That was just her way of trying to make connections with her staff. She appreciated us,” said Easton, who added that Murphy enjoyed giving roses to people, as well, and was a fighter, working her job at East Ridge Elementary in Woodinville up until the last week before she died.

Elaine Belcher, Ron’s widow, said that she’s thrilled with the memorial project and plans to be at the dedication.

The statue is perfect, Elaine added, noting that when she and Ron vacationed in Colo-rado after he was diagnosed, they saw a similar statue in the town center of a ski resort and both had their pictures taken with it.

“As educators, we both loved that statue. I remem-ber him saying how much he loved it. Children were always top priority, even with all the administration duties he had,” Elaine said. “So, it is pretty amazing, even uncanny, that this same statue is what Westhill has selected. They did not know this was one of Ron’s favorites.”

Tim Murphy, who said that his wife was a “fantastic” princi-pal who knew every child’s name and cared for them, is glad that Easton, Taylor and crew are keeping Stacy and Ron in their thoughts.

“Our youngest daughter is studying for finals in high school, and we’re wishing (Stacy) was here right now,” Tim said. “It’s a nice thing for them to keep her memory alive.”

The Bothell High boys basketball team (7-5, 11-6) has proven one thing true to its fans this season in 4A Kingco league play — don’t ever leave early.

Never was that truth so evident than on Tuesday night in the Cougar Den, as its second matchup against Northshore rival Inglemoor, much like the first, came down to the final shot in a thrilling 58-56 Bothell victory.

But for head coach Ron Bollinger, it was no rest for the weary as his team played again on Wednesday night at Woodinville, after the Reporter’s deadline, and has another game at third-ranked Skyline tonight, and its regular-season finale at home against Ballard on Saturday.

“Hey, that’s basketball,” said Bollinger on the exhausting schedule caused by the snow cancellations. “Hopefully we’ve done our job throughout the year, so it’s just a matter of making adjustments now.”

A THRILLING FINISHWith both teams seeming

to match each other shot-for-shot in the first half, nei-ther team took control in the third quarter, with Bothell shooting 5-for-12 from the field to tie the score at 38-38, while Inglemoor fared even worse at just 3-for-14.

After star guard Zach LaVine stole an inbound pass for a quick bucket to lead off the fourth, Ing-lemoor went on an 11-0 run to take a commanding 49-40 lead with only about four minutes left to play.

As the capacity crowd at the Den grew anxious, the momentum began to swing back to the Cougars.

Sharpshooting sophomore Kellen Webster drained a 3-pointer to cut the lead

back down to four with 3:00 left, and after LaVine connected from downtown, Webster nailed another from beyond the arc to tie the game at 56-56.

Bollinger called a time out with 12.6 seconds left, and put the ball in the hands of LaVine, who hit three straight game-winning shots for the Cougars earlier this season.

But the Vikings’ defense prevented the junior from driving the lane, so he dished the ball out to Webster, who put up a 3-ball from the corner to win the game.

Webster’s shot was deflected into the hands of 6-foot-5 center Aaron Wilks, who converted a layin as time expired, sending a mob of blue-clad fans across the court in a frenzy.

“(Zach) made the right play, kicking it to the corner,” Bollinger noted. “We were getting there all game long on those rebounds, and Aaron gets there, wheels around and hits that shot. Another close one against Inglemoor.”

On the other side of the camp, the sting of yet an-other tough loss was all too familiar for Inglemoor head coach Greg Lowell and his young team.

“We just made really dumb mistakes the last four or five minutes of the game,” said Lowell, whose team dropped to 1-11 in league, including four losses by one or two points. “The kids are disappointed, I’m disappointed. The effort for 98 percent of the game was great, it was just finish-ing things the last three to four minutes of the game, and that’s been a struggle for us.”

LaVine led all scorers with 20, followed by Perrion Callandret’s 17 and Webster’s 11. For the Vikings, Chris Bryant scored 19, with Sam Omondi and Brendan Lauck

adding 10 each.“It felt great to get the win

at home,” said Wilks, whose game-winning shot was his only field goal of the contest. “(Inglemoor) is our big rival here, and we definitely got away with the game.”

TOURNEY TIMEAfter the Cougars finish

off their regular season, they will enter the eight-team Kingco Tournament, a double-elimination event that will see three teams advance to the 4A regionals and hopefully onto the state tournament in March.

Bollinger admitted that the Cougars’ several recent close wins have given his young squad a huge confi-dence and momentum boost going forward, and that his team is indeed peak-ing towards playoff time as planned.

“We’re getting better every game,” he said. “We showed the resilience to come back being down eight with a minute or two to go, but we’ve got to keep getting better.”

From here on out, how-ever, it’s all about jockeying for seeding position for next

week’s tournament, and the Cougars have a crucial battle against Skyline tonight on the Spartans’ home court, tipoff at 8 p.m.

And the Cougars are ready for the challenge.

“We’re looking forward

to playing in that new gym, and trying to get ‘em in their place,” Bollinger said.

Added Wilks, “We’re hop-ing to make our move and get the two seed. If not, we’ll take the three (seed) and see how far we can go.”

Bothell guard Zach LaVine faces off with Inglemoor’s Chris Bryant during Tuesday night’s 58-56 Cougar basketball win. LaVine finished with a game-high 20 for Bothell, and Bryant led the Viks with 19. TIM WATANABE, Bothell-Kenmore Reporter

[email protected]

The Bothell High gym-nastics team was locked in a thrilling battle with

Inglemoor last Thursday in their final 4A Kingco meet of the season, with the Cougars pulling out a slim 168.235-167.35 win over the Vikings. Garfield

also attended the meet and finished with 117.70 team points.

Cougar and Viking gymnasts took the top three spots of each event, with Inglemoor’s Mina Tanaka winning three of four individual events – bars (8.95), beam (9.3), and floor (9.65), while earning the all-around title with 37.30.

Cougar senior Raynie Hultgren won the vault with a near-perfect 9.7, while placing second behind Tanaka in the bars (8.9), beam (8.885), floor

(9.45), and all-around (36.935).

Julia Winters also had a strong showing for Bothell, taking third in the floor (9.4), vault (9.1) and all-

around (33.75).The teams will next be

participating in the Kingco Championships, which takes place this Saturday, Feb. 4, at Roosevelt High School. Action begins at 8 a.m.

RED-HOT LADY VIKINGS ARE ON A ROLL

The Inglemoor High girls basketball team won its eighth and ninth-straight victories last weekend in wins over Roosevelt (69-31) on Friday and Skyline (68-54) on Saturday.

On Friday, a solid defensive effort held the Roughriders to no more than eight points per quarter, while the Vikings, led by Taylor Peacocke (19 points) and Chay Fuller (15) broke the game open early.

On Saturday against Skyline, Inglemoor came out firing again, taking a seven-point lead after the first quarter that it would never relinquish.

Peacocke, who is among the league’s leading scor-ers (19.5 points per game) scored a game-high 23, with four more players in double digits: Julia Hain-ing (13), Kelly Conroy (11), Fuller (11) and Kate Taylor (10).

With the wins, the girls improved to 9-2 in 4A Kingco and 13-3 overall.

LADY EAGLES CONTINUE ROMP THROUGH EMERALD CITY LEAGUE

The Cedar Park Christian girls continued their thrashing of the 1A Emerald City League last weekend, winning twice in a rout – 53-31 over Northwest School and 65-28 over Seattle Academy.

Against Northwest, Rachel Staudacher and Tyanna Fouts led the offense with 12 and 11 points, respectively, as a great defensive effort held their opponents to just three in the second quarter to break the game open.

The next night against the Cardinals, the Eagles’ trademark offense put 22 first-quarter points on the board, allowing them to coast to victory.

Staudacher poured in 23 points, with Madison Parmenter and Laura Goodnight adding 10 each.

The Lady Eagles re-mained perfect at 11-0 in league play and are now 12-5 overall.

Costumed critters strike up fun in Kenmore

A total of 135 attendees, including more than 40 costumed critters, had a ball at Kenmore Lanes last Saturday, Jan. 28 during the “When Furballs Strike” bowling meet, a gathering of anthropomorphics fans from the Pacific Northwest. Anthropomorphics fans enjoy cartoon animals – animals with human characteristics – and often get full costumes made of characters they have personally created. The meet, which is held seasonally, draws visitors to Kenmore from all over the greater Puget Sound region, as well as Canada and Oregon. Photo courtesy of Bobby Yadon

Bothell’s Studley wins national awardREPORTER STAFF

Bothell resident Kari Studley, a Northshore high school mountain bike team head coach and leading physical therapist out of Kenmore’s Corpore Sano Physical Therapy, recently won the “Coach of the Year” award at the 2011 National Interscholastic Cycling As-sociation (NICA) Awards.

Studley was recognized for her work in starting a largely successful high-school mountain bike team in the Northshore area.

The program was so successful, each of the Northshore schools (Bothell, Inglemoor and Woodinville) will start their own teams next season.

Studley has also raced well

this year, winning the U.S. National Cyclocross Single Speed National Champion-ships in Madison, Wis., on Jan. 5, and placing sixth two days later in the 30-34

Masters group.She is also a five-time

Washington State Cyclocross champion, and races profes-sionally with Team Redline, out of Kent.

Bothell’s Kari Studley was recently recognized with a national ‘Coach of the Year’ award for her work with starting a local mountain biking team for high-school students. An accomplished racer, she won the U.S. National Single Speed Championships earlier this year in Madison, Wis. Courtesy photo
