In an answer to the complaint � led in Snohom-ish County Court on Nov.

Boy Scouts from the Northlakes Chapter of the Order of the Arrow honor
Society, including Scouts from Bothell and Kenmore, have
embarked on a journey to carve a totem pole for Camp Pigott,
the Scouts’ summer camp. The scouts have spent a year working on the task, cutting
down a tree on scout property last Christmas, de-barking,
removing the core and carving the � gures of the Totem.
They then spent six months, prior designing the totems, building the Adzes used to
carve the pole. The 15-foot-tall, 99-year-old yellow cedar
is 18 inches in diameter and has the � gures of a bear,
squirrel and blue heron, � gures representing aspects of the
Scouts.The Pole will be raised next
spring at Camp Pigott in Monroe. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Medical examin-ers have ruled an elderly Bothell
woman’s death on Oct. 27 a homicide.
Lila J. Donaldson, 81, died of a blunt impact to the head, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s office determined Tuesday.
Donaldson was found suffering from severe trau-matic injuries and later died at the scene more than two weeks ago.
The woman’s 42-year-old daughter, Terie Sue David-son, was arrested on Oct. 27 and later charged with murder.
The Bothell Police De-partment received a 911 call at approximately 5 a.m. Oct. 27 from the daughter who requested some medical assistance at a mobile home where she resides located in the 3300 block of 228th St. S.E. in Bothell.
Officers contacted the woman outside her front door. Due to some concern-ing statements and behav-iors, the officers determined they needed to check the welfare of anyone inside the residence.
The officers found the woman’s mother inside, who was suffering from severe traumatic injuries. Medics and aid responded to treat the woman, how-ever she died while still at the scene.
The daughter was taken into custody and as of Mon-day was in the hospital for undisclosed medical issues, said Langford.
Detectives searched the home following the incident.

Mae pay all court and at-torney fees.
“My lawyers have ad-vised me not to comment on this lawsuit against myself, my wife and my law firm,” said Lamb. “We will have no further com-ment until the conclusion of this matter.”
Lamb has served as Bothell’s mayor for six years.
“We will be vigorously defending Mr. Lamb in this matter,” said Lamb’s lawyer Christine A. Slat-tery in an email. “We dispute the claims, and believe the suit to be frivolous. Unfortunately, public figures are often the target of frivolous lawsuits. We will have no further comment.”
Mae and the mayor’s relationship began in 2010 when the woman was working at Masala Bar and Grill in Bothell.
According to court docu-ments, Lamb and another unidentified member of the Bothell City Council, ate dinner at Masala when Lamb allegedly met and obtained Mae’s phone num-ber.
After a few days of speaking on the phone, the woman claims that Lamb invited her to come with him and Bothell Deputy Mayor Joshua Freed to a conference in Las Vegas. Mae claims that she de-clined the invitation, ac-cording to the complaint.
But the two had their first “date” shortly after and their relationship al-legedly became sexual in nature. Her relationship with the mayor alleg-edly caused a problem with her employer, as he was a client of the North Creek Law Firm. Lamb suggested that Mae quit
her job and then allegedly provided her with $3,000 a month on an intermit-tent basis after she moved to Lynden, the complaint
continued.Mae claims that
Lamb asked her to quit her job at a wireless company and move back to Bothell later that year. Lamb allegedly paid for Mae’s move back
to Bothell and continued to intermittently support her financially as the two continued to see each other.
During the relation-ship Lamb suggested that Mae come work for his law firm, the documents continue. He eventually offered to support her in attending Edmonds Com-munity College’s paralegal program. The woman eventually accepted the offer and began work-ing at the North Creek
Law Firm in November 2011 as an intern for $3,000 a month with the caveat that their personal relationship end, accord-ing to the complaint. Mae also allegedly told Lamb that she intended to start seeing other men.
But Mae alleges that Lamb never paid her more than $1,500 a month and “had to beg to be paid.”
Lamb states in legal documents that Mae was a paid intern for the firm starting in November 2011 and was paid $1,500 a month but denies all other monetary allega-tions.
In January, the two allegedly restarted their
sexual relationship upon Lamb’s request, frequently having sex in Lamb’s office, the documents continue.
Mae states in the complaint that while she was employed at the firm, Lamb was more demand-ing and “asserted power and control over the situ-ation.”
“Mae felt pressured to succumb to Lamb’s advances. She was fi-nancially dependent on Lamb,” states the com-plaint. Lamb stated in court documents that the sexual relationship was “consensual.”
Their sexual relation-ship allegedly contin-ued for months almost
entirely in Lamb’s office during working hours.
In March, Mae decided to terminate the relation-ship and stated that she “no longer wanted to be treated like his ‘whore,’” the complaint continues.
Later that same month Lamb allegedly saw Mae printing out informa-tion on a person she was considering dating, which sparked a heated argu-ment between the two. She was fired the next day when she returned to the office, the documents continue.
Since being terminated, Mae claims that her social media and phone have been accessed by unau-thorized individuals.

that it is subject to the political process,” said Strachan. “I can honestly say I would do it all again and I have truly been honored to serve as your Sheriff.”
The race was conten-tious at times, with both blaming each other for issues within the Sheriff ’s Office.
Urquhart, the longtime spokes-person for the department, has served with the Sheriff ’s office for 24 years and was selected as officer of the year twice during his career.
“The voters have spoken with a clear voice,” said Urquhart. “They want a Sheriff ’s Office that shares their values. They want a Sheriff ’s Office that does not have that attitude of ‘We’re the cops, and you’re not… don’t tell us how to
do our jobs.’ They want a Sheriff ’s Office that walks among, and interacts with, the community. They want a Sheriff ’s Office that uses force as a last resort, not the first.”
Urquhart was endorsed by former King County Sheriff and current Rep. Dave Reichert and former
U.S. Attorney John Mc-Kay. Strachan was
endorsed by Rahr and King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg.According to
the Public Disclosure Commission Urquahrt raised nearly $187,000 more than five times as much money as Strachan ($36,877). He also used more than $125,000 of his own money.
The Sheriff ’s Office is the second largest local police agency in Washing-ton and the 13th largest Sheriff ’s Office in the
United States. It has a budget of $160 million and over 1,000 employees.
“I’ve said it many times over the last seven months: To be a police officer is an honor and a sacred trust,” said Urquhart. “The 1,000 men and women of the Sheriff ’s Office serve the public day in and day out. The street cops, civilians, detectives and command staff are some of the best, hardest working and most ethical people I have ever met. With their help and yours, I will set a tone and culture of leadership that maintains and reinforces the trust and support of the citizens we serve.”
The King County Elec-tions Department will certify all 2012 general election results on Nov. 27, with the Washington Secretary of State’s office certifying all results Dec. 6.

Can mold make me sick?
Molds have the potential to cause health problems. Molds produce allergens (substances that can cause
allergic reactions and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Touching mold or inhaling mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Allergic responses to mold are common. They can be immediate or delayed. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. A direct correlation can be drawn between the presence of airborne mold and asthma in children. In addition, mold exposure can irritate eyes, skin, nose, throat and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people.

The 2012 general election was a lot of things. It was an exercise in democracy, a peaceful transition of power and as annoying as ever.
� e cliches alone are enough to make you want to throw something at the TV.
We heard a lot of the same lines over and over again. � e candidates even threw out many of the same tired old campaign lines.
One cliche that we are used to hearing every four years is “this is the most important election of our lifetime.” How can every election be the most important?
� e election was also nasty, mean and full of annoying ads and robocalls. But that is what we say every four years. � e fact of the matter is that nega-tive campaigning works.
� e race for Attorney General was speci� cally nasty. � e ads for both sides were misleading at best and downright o� ensive in other cases.
More local races even went negative. One of the worst was the 1st District Senate race between longtime incumbent Rosemary McAuli� e and Dawn McCravey. � e negative campaigning in this race was not just from the candidates but also from their supporters. � e Kirkland, Bothell and Kenmore Reporters received more letters on this race than any other and most were pretty nasty. In fact, the Reporter newspapers received more letters on this race than another topic during the past four months.
Name calling, digging up sketchy links between the candidates and outside groups and other at-tacks were sometimes worse than the commercials on TV or the mailers.
� e Reporter even received some nasty phone calls for an innocuous story on the 1st Con-gressional District race. � e story was initiated when the Suzan DelBene campaign contacted the Reporter to cover a rally in Bothell with Sen.
Patty Murray. Not wanting to pro� le one singu-lar candidate or espouse their views four days before the election, Reporter sta� attempted to contact the John Koster campaign and to � nd a more balanced approach.
� e story was ultimately written on how the race was being viewed by the nation and what heavy hitters had campaigned for the candidates. � e Reporter called and le� numerous messages for the Koster campaign during a 10-day period with no response. As most newspapers do, we let the read-ers know that we attempted to get an interview for the story with no response to the inquiry. We also attempted to make the story as balanced as pos-sible. For some readers it was not enough, leaving phone messages to let us know that the story was unbalanced because we failed to reach the Koster campaign.
� en number of robocalls this year seemed to go up exponentially from four years ago. But it was inaccurate robocalls in other states, telling people
they had until Wednesday, Nov. 7 to vote, that got many up in arms on election day.
And while it seemed in Washington state that the TV election ads would never end, it was worse elsewhere in the United States.
We in Washington State did not get the bar-rage that those in swing states received for the Presidential election. In Ohio alone, the Romney and Obama campaigns combined to buy nearly 220,000 TV ads. Florida came in second with nearly 200,000 TV ads.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the overall spending on the Presidential election through Oct. 17 was nearly $2 billion.
And in another four years we will subject our-selves to more robocalls, nasty TV ads, under-handed tactics and “the most important election of our lifetime.”
But when you think of the alternative to democ-racy, we would all agree this isn’t bad at all - unless your candidate lost.
A great citizen doing more than his part
My name is Lindsay Trieb. I live on Norway Hill off 100th. Today I witnessed something pretty amazing and I thought that it deserved some recognition. I was driving to work today and saw a man, probably in his mid to late 70’s walking up Norway Hill. I drove past him as the three cars in front of me had. At the stop sign at the bottom of the hill it struck me that this man deserved my time.
I flipped my car in reverse (obviously not legal, sorry), parked and he started to ap-proach me. I got out of my car and I asked his name and what he was doing. “My name is Jim,” he said gesturing to his ball cap that clearly stated his name. He told me that every other day he walks up Norway Hill and collects all of the garbage because he loved where he lived and wanted to keep it beautiful. Every other day this old man walks up this huge hill by himself cleaning up everyone else’s garbage. I think that is really incredible.
I don’t know who I should email or write a letter to explaining how amazing this man is and how much he deserves to be seen in the public eye for doing something so great so frequently when it’s a struggle for some of us to even do one good, thoughtful deed even
once a week. So, hopefully people take a few moments out of their day to wave, stop and say hello or pull over and help.

Northshore Community Kitchen, making a di� erence
Much has been written in the press lately about hunger insecurity, especially when it concerns school aged children. We are fortu-nate to live in an area where several groups and organizations have programs in place to help alleviate this problem. One such program here in our neighborhood is the Northshore Com-munity Kitchen, a joint partnership between Northshore Council PTSA and the Northshore YMCA.
Working with the Northshore School District, the Kitchen bene� ts from sustained support from a small group of local businesses and organizations. It receives donations from PTA units and individuals. � e Kitchen also has a great group of volunteers, including high school students during summer vacation. � ose factors have meant that over 20 North-shore families have been able to pick up a simple, freshly prepared and nutritious ready-to-eat meal once a week since April.

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com [5]November 16, 2012
At the October 22 Transportation Benefit District (TBD) meeting, the TBD Board directed staff to bring forward a TBD Resolution to adopt an annual $20 vehicle fee. The resolution will be presented to the TBD Board on Tuesday, November 20 at 7 p.m. at Kenmore City Hall, 18120 68th Ave NE. There will be an opportunity for public comment at the beginning of the meeting.
The TBD has been created to generate revenues to support transportation improvements within the TBD. The vehicle fee is the only funding option being pursued by the TBD at this time. The meeting agenda and proposed resolution is available to view on the City’s website, www.kenmorewa.gov.
Vehicle Fee: Anticipated RevenuesThe Department of Licensing (DOL) estimates there are 16,107 vehicles in
Kenmore (2011 data). The DOL also has stated that jurisdictions which im-pose the vehicle fee collect approximately 83% of the revenue. The DOL also charges a 1% administrative fee (2011 data) to collect the fees and forward them to the City of Kenmore. In the first five years of implementation, the Vehicle Fee is anticipated to raise approximately $1.3 million dollars.
Vehicle Fee: Authorized ExpendituresCity of Kenmore Ordinance No. 12-0339, which created the TBD, provides
generally that the funds generated by the TBD may be used for any purpose allowed by law including to operate the District and to make transporta-tion improvements that are consistent with existing state, regional and local transportation plans and necessitated by existing or reasonably foreseeable congestion levels pursuant to Chapter 36.73 RCW. The Ordinance further provides specifically that the transportation improvements funded by the TBD shall be made in an effort to preserve and maintain transportation infra-
structure, improve public safety, or implement projects identified in the City’s Transportation Improvement Program. This broad authorization gives the TBD flexibility in spending the vehicle fees. It is anticipated that a substantial portion of the vehicle fees will be used for the City’s pavement preservation program.
Vehicle Fee: Time of Collection; Exempt VehiclesThe vehicle fee is collected at renewal of vehicle registration. Several types
of vehicles are exempt from the vehicle fee, such as campers, off-road and non-highway vehicles, private use single-axle trailers and snowmobiles as defined in the RCW.
Vehicle Fee: Collection and AdministrationAs requested by the Board, the proposed resolution establishes an annual
vehicle fee of $20.00. As required by RCW, the resolution provides for DOL to administer and collect the vehicle fees and states that the vehicle fees cannot be collected until six months after approval by the TBD Board. If the resolu-tion is adopted at the November 20 meeting, the DOL is anticipated to begin collecting the vehicle fee in the spring of 2013.
QuestionsIf you have any questions, please contact Engineering & Environmental Ser-
vices Director Kris Overleese at [email protected] or 425-398-8900. Additional information on the TBD is available on the City’s website, www.kenmorewa.gov.

The development of downtown Kenmore has been a big focus for the city. Kenmore officials hope to rejuvenate and redevelop Kenmore Village with the addition of Kenmore Camera. But drawing new businesses to the area is also an important economic goal for the vitality of the city.
The Kenmore City Coun-cil is taking steps to help new businesses start and grow within the city through a Business Incubator project. The pilot program was set in motion during a recent council meeting and will provide low-cost office space and business operation assis-tance to start-up companies, primarily in the technology field.
“Our short-term plan is to secure interim office space for the next two to three years,” said Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey in his preliminary city budget letter. “In the meantime, we will work to establish a per-manent incubator space in the heart of our downtown.”
The city defines the project goals as “to produce success-ful firms that graduate from the incubation program as financially viable growth-
oriented companies.”“One really important part
of this is that it puts us on the radar screen of entrepre-neurs,” said Kenmore As-sistant City Manager Nancy Ousley, who is in charge of the project. “It shows those who are working out of their homes that the city is willing to invest and help start-ups get off to a good start.”
It is expected that the program will accelerate the successful development of entrepreneurial companies, according to city docu-ments.
The city has hired Barry Weisband, who is the former director for UW Bothell Business Development Center and the Center for Entre-preneurship, to provide program start-up, operation and business consultation for participating businesses through December of next year. According to city docu-ments, Weisband’s contract is through 2014 and is to be paid $47,000 for his services from September 2012 to December 2013.
“We will propose an amendment to the contract for the 2014 amount as we have a better idea of the work needed in 2014,” said Ousley.
Weisband will provide an
important service for the incubator to work.
“It is also important to note that business incubators are not just about providing affordable space with low overhead,” said Karlinsey in the letter. “A business incu-bator, by definition, includes business development and mentoring for these fledgling businesses. Our proposed incubator program will also include these services.”
The program proposes a three-year lease agreement
with Kenmore Com-mercial LLC for 3,000 square feet of office space in downtown Kenmore at 7204 N.E. 175th St. for the
pilot program, with the location, space and
price being “appropriate for the intended purpose.”
The city will then lease that space at a reduced cost to the start-ups.
“We don’t know what the offset will be from that part of the project,” said Ousley.
The lease period will begin Dec. 1. The city also has the ability to terminate the lease after two years with 90 days notice.
The program also allows Kenmore to actively pursue opportunities for a long-term incubator program with Bastyr University, the
University of Washington Bothell, along with others. Ideally, the leasing program would eventually take place in office space developed in Kenmore Village.
Karlinsey said the city will seek grants and investors to construct a quality, technolo-gy-oriented space that will be attractive for new businesses to come to Kenmore and get their start.
The city will also focus on primary industry start-ups that bring in money and jobs to the Kenmore community and export products and services, wrote Karlinsey. The program also aims to grow the city’s natural health industry cluster and high tech and clean technology companies, he said.
The project is proposed to cost the city $238,000 in the 2013-2014 biennium budget, but that does not include revenues received for rental of office space by the start-ups.
The program was first proposed during a Septem-ber council meeting and funding was approved in the 2013-2014 budget for the program.
The majority of the budget for the project is to go toward leasing the space for the start-ups.
New project will help start-up businesses thrive in Kenmore

Para educator’s characters selected for publication
Arrowhead Elementary School para educator Becky Fukuda’s “unthinkable” characters were chosen for publication in a new edition of Michelle Garcia Winner’s Superflex curricu-lum, “Social Town Citizens Discover 82 New Unthink-ables.” Superflex is the hero whose main power is being a flexible thinker.
“Unthinkables” are characters who embody behaviors that get in the way of good social skills.
Individuals submitted new ideas for unthink-able characters along with written descriptions of these invaders and ways to use Superflex thinking and strategies to defeat them.
Becky’s four unthinkable characters were among the 82 selected from 500 submissions.
A Superhero Social Thinking Curriculum is used in many special education classes in the Northshore School District.
It teaches students with social and communication difficulties how to develop further awareness of their own thinking and social behaviors and to learn strategies to help them de-velop better self-regulation across a range of these behaviors.

Democratic Congressional candidate Suzan
DelBene was sworn into the United States House of Representatives on Monday to fill out the rest of the current term. Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed sent a letter to congressional officials on Nov. 7 declar-ing that 1st Congres-sional District candidate unofficially won the race to fill the seat until the end of the current term ending in January. The letter stated that DelBene has unofficially received 60 percent of the vote against Republican John Koster.
The lame-duck session began on Tuesday.
“It would appear from these unofficial results
that Suzan DelBene was elected as Representa-tive in Congress from the First Congressional District of Washington,” wrote Reed to U.S. House of Representative’s Clerk Karen L. Haas the day after the election. “To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there is no contest to this election.”
Winning the lame-duck term is significant, as it gives DelBene more seniority in the House of Representatives than a normal freshman repre-sentative.
The seat was on the ballot twice for voters from the Canadian border to I-90, once to fill the rest of former Represen-tative Jay Inslee’s term, and a second time to fill the next four-year term. DelBene holds a 60-39
percent lead for the lame-duck term. DelBene has a 53-46 percent lead against Koster for the term begin-ning in January.
“In the alternative, the House, controlled by the Republicans, had indi-cated it would accept a Secretary of State letter stating confidence that she had been elected to the short unexpired term,” said State Elections co-director Katie Blinn.
The election results won’t be complete and official until confirmed by the counties in the district on Nov. 27 and by the state on Dec. 6.
The seat was vacated by Democrat Jay Inslee last spring as he ran for Washington State Gov-ernor. Inslee defeated Washington State Attor-ney General Rob McK-enna.

Ferguson wins Attorney General race, will vacate County Council seatBY MATT PHELPS
With new election numbers showing King County Council mem-ber Bob Ferguson with a nearly 200,000 vote lead over fellow council-man Reagan Dunn for Attorney General, King County Executive Dow Constantine has begun
talking about a replace-ment for Fregu-son.
“His election will create a vacancy on the council and I will work to ensure the people of his district are repre-sented by a quali-fied councilmember,” said Constantine.
After redistricting took place with the 2010 Census, Fer-guson’s first dis-trict was redrawn to cover Kenmore, Bothell and Finn Hill in Kirkland, along with parts of Shoreline, Lake City and Lake For-
rest Park.Constantine said that
after the election is certi-fied he will con-vene a “stakehold-er” committee that is “representative of the district.”
“The commit-tee’s job will be to vet the candidates who apply for the vacancy, and pass along all qualified candidates to me,” said
Constantine. The Executive
said that he will then recommend three people to the council for mem-bers to vote on.
“This will en-able the council to fill the position as soon as it official-
ly becomes vacant,” said Constantine. “Applicants
should plan to submit a resume and statement of qualifications to the stakeholder committee after the election is certi-fied.”
Certification of the election will take place at the county level on Nov. 27. The Washington Secretary of State will certify all election results by Dec. 6.

McAuliffe defeats McCravey in contentious race, democrats sweepBy MAtt PhelPs And CArrie rodriguez
Bothell/Kenmore Reporter
The 2012 general elec-tion took place on Nov. 6 and results as
of Tuesday evening showed local Democrats having a big night.
One of the most hotly contested races pit longtime 1st District State Sen. Rose-mary McAuliffe (D-Bothell) against Northshore School Board member Dawn Mc-
Cravey. McAuliffe is beating McCravey, 55-44 percent (34,241-27,692 votes). The race was extremely conten-tious and generated more letters to the editor for the Bothell/Kenmore Reporter than any other topic during the past year.
The district covers all of Bothell.
The 1st Legislative District has two races to send a representative to Olympia. Incumbent Luis Mos-coso (D-Mountlake Terrace)
defeated challenger Mark T. Davies 60-39 percent (35,202-22,526) for Posi-tion 2.
“I have enjoyed this campaign season, and want to recognize my opponent for running a stand up campaign. Despite our stark political differences our campaigns both remained very positive, and I thank Mr. Davies for voicing his beliefs and concerns for our state moving forward,” said Moscoso. “I know that
his sentiments are shared by many across the district, and I will work to represent my entire district to ensure that our economy continues rolling forward and that our families find and maintain the well-paying jobs we need to raise our children, save for retirement, and grow our middle class.”
Davies faced an uphill battle to get on the ballot but many expected this race to be closer as Moscoso only won by .5 percent two years ago.
Redistricting was expected to make the district more conservative.
In the Position 1 race, former Bothell Deputy Mayor and Republican candidate Sandy Guinn lost to incumbent Derek Sanford (D-Bothell) 57-42 percent (34,686-25,550).
The 32nd Legislative Dis-trict includes all of Kenmore and Finn Hill in Kirkland with both state legislative positions up for grabs.
In Position 1, incumbent
Cindy Ryu (D-Shoreline) de-feated Republican challenger Randy J. Hayden 71-28 percent (41,403-16,118).
Position 2 incumbent Ruth Kagi (D-Shoreline) de-feated Republican challenger Robert Reedy 72-27 percent (41,601-15,662).
In the race for Governor, Inslee defeated Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna 51-48 percent or 1,460,770 to 1,391,168 votes.All results are as of Wednesday morning.
historic election legalizes same-sex marriage, marijuana By MAtt PhelPs
Washington State voters approved some historic mea-sures during the 2012 general election, including gay mar-riage and the legalization of marijuana.
The apparent passage of Referendum 74 led to many jubilant celebrations, as same-sex couples looked to a future where Washington State would recognize a legal marriage. Washington was one of four states to approve a same-sex marriage measure this year. R-74 is passing with 53 percent of the vote, or 1,527,272 votes to approve and 1,341,926 votes to reject.
If R-74 is certified as passed by the voters, the first day that marriage licenses can be issued to same-sex couples will be Dec. 6. The first day that licenses could be used is three days later on Dec. 9. The Recorder’s Office will open for extended hours on Dec. 6, as well as Dec. 7-8.
Another controversial and historic initiative concerned the legalization of marijuana in small quantities. I-502 passed with 55 percent of the vote or 1,593,680 votes in favor to 1,279,005 votes against. I-502 allows adults to possess and smoke one ounce of marijuana and allows the state to license the growth, distribution and sale of marijuana, in many forms. It will also be taxable by the state. Many opponents argue that passage of the I-502 will hurt medicinal patients and adds a level of uncertainty such as a DUI for marijuana use as traces of THC can be detected in the blood for as long as one week. The state government still has to figure out the details of implemen-tation and the specific law. Another issue with the initia-tive is that marijuana in any form is illegal by federal law and conflict between the new state law will also have to be worked out.
Colorado passed and Oregon rejected similar mea-sures during the 2012 general election.
The King County Prosecu-tor’s Office announced Friday that it will be dismissing all of its misdemeanor marijuana possession cases as a result of the passage of I-502.
The decision will impact 175 King County cases that are currently filed or referred for filing involving indi-viduals age 21 and older who possessed one ounce or less of marijuana.
King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg said that dismissing these cases is the right thing to do.
“Although the effective date of I-502 is not until Dec. 6, there is no point in continuing to seek criminal penalties for conduct that will be legal next month,” Sat-terberg said.
Following that change in filing by the King County prosecutor’s office, King County Sheriff’s Office depu-ties will not be directed to
arrest or charge individuals caught with one ounce or less of marijuana. There are 12 municipalities that contract with the Sheriff’s Office for police services includ-ing Kenmore. It remains the policy decision of the municipal attorneys and policy makers of those cities to determine how they will proceed between now and Dec. 6. This decision only af-fects the deputies working in unincorporated King County.
The Charter Schools measure, I-1240, is passing with a little over 50 percent or 1,419,188 votes to 1,374,977 votes against.
Anti-tax activist Tim Ey-man was successful again this year, helping to get Initiative 1185 passed. The initiative would require that any tax increase be passed with a two-thirds or supermajority vote in the legislature or by a direct vote of the people. The measure passed with 1,768,833 votes in favor out of nearly 3 million votes cast, or 64-35 percent.
Eyman and cosponsors Jack and Mike Fagan released a statement on election night touting the idea of a consti-tutional amendment, as this is the fifth time voters have approved the idea.
“After five public votes and five public approvals, the people have earned the right to vote on a two-thirds for taxes constitutional amend-ment. Over and over and over and over and over again the people have voted for this critical protection. They’ve approved it in good times and bad,” said Eyman. “Over the past 20 years the taxpayers have clearly proven they want this protection.”
A supermajority vote mea-sure has passed four times in Washington State: 1993, 1998, 2007 and in 2010. Three times it has been blocked by the state legislature.
Eyman also stated that
in recent legislative ses-sions, some legislators have introduced bills allowing the people to vote on a superma-jority vote constitutional amendment. But leaders in the House and Senate blocked them from being voted on.
“That cannot be allowed to happen in 2013,” said Ey-man. “It is time for Olympia to stop the blockade against letting the people vote on a
two-thirds for taxes consti-tutional amendment. The 2013 Legislature must let the House and Senate vote on a two-thirds for taxes consti-tutional amendment that mirrors I-1185. The people deserve a recorded vote in both chambers.”
Seventeen states have a two-thirds for taxes law as a part of their constitutions.
The 2012 general election results have to be certified by King County on Nov. 27 and by the Washington Secretary of State by Dec. 6.

The Edmonds man who police officers shot and injured last Friday after a slow-speed pursuit displayed a weapon out his truck’s window.
Robert A. Marvin, 68, who was allegedly suicidal, remains in Har-borview Medical Center where he is expected to survive injuries sustained during the incident, po-lice said.
The officers involved in the shooting are a 22-year veteran of the Edmonds Police Department and a sergeant from Mountlake Terrace Police Depart-ment with 16 years of experience. Both are cur-rently on administrative leave during the investi-gation.
Multiple law enforce-ment agencies, including the Bothell Police De-partment, were involved in an almost six-mile pursuit of Marvin after his wife reported he was suicidal and left their Edmonds home with a weapon on Oct. 26.
When Marvin refused to stop, police used a spike strip to flatten the passenger side tires on his GMC Sierra. Shortly thereafter, the GMC stopped in the 16700 block of 96th Ave. N.E. in front of Wayne Public Golf Course in Bothell where Marvin refused to get out of the vehicle. He displayed a weapon out the window. Shots were fired and Marvin was struck several times. Although still in Har-borview Medical Center, Marvin was booked into King County Jail on Oct. 30 on second-degree as-sault charges.
A SMART investiga-tion was initiated as Snohomish County law enforcement officers were involved in the incident and their respective agen-cies requested the team investigate.
If anyone witnessed or has information about the incident, please contact the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office tip line at 425-388-3845.

Enhanced bottled water company, Essentia Water based in Bothell, donated over 32 tons of water to New York City residents affected by the devastating impact of Hurricane Sandy. Essentia
worked with Feed The Chil-dren to distribute the water through its partner agencies, which are on the ground in New York and New Jersey providing disaster relief.
“Contributing to those in
need has always been a cor-nerstone of our company,” said Ken Uptain, president of Essentia Water. “We feel fortunate that we’re in a posi-tion to help residents of New York stay hydrated, since that is the last thing they should worry about as they begin to rebuild their lives.”
Essentia provided over 24,000 bottles of water, which will be distributed
by Operation Compassion and Adopt-a-Block along with other basic necessities to victims in the New York neighborhoods of Jamaica, South Ozone Park and Manhattan.
Essentia has also partnered with Feed The Children to provide water to Northwest Harvest, which fights hunger in Washington state.

It feels good to laugh once in a while. Everyone knows that. But laughter as a health-promoting exercise is not as widely practiced, despite of the fact that scientists have long known about the healing e� ects of good humor.
In his best-selling book, “Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient” (W.W. Norton & Co., 1979), Norman Cousins describes his own recovery from a life-threatening disease, which he credits in large parts to laughter.
What at � rst sounds like a good story – man cures himself by watching funny
movies – is in fact an account of what scientists call the “natural recuperative mecha-nism” of the body, a.k.a. “ho-meostatic response,” meaning that the body is able to heal itself and return to a state of normalcy from injuries su� ered at a time of illness.
Of course, proper medical care can support and ac-celerate the natural healing process, but recovery almost always also depends on the body’s own defense mechanisms. Among these defenses is the patient’s state
of mind. In Cousins’ case, it seemed that a positive at-titude and speci� cally a great sense of humor helped him muster the inner resources
needed to overcome his ailments.
� is, obviously, is a dramatic and rare example of the potential bene� ts of positive think-ing. More common are reports that laughter has helped
ease pain and su� ering, not just the mental but also the physical kind. A recent study conducted at the University of Oxford, England, found that belly laughs caused the body to release endorphins, which act like opiates by inducing emotional calm and enhancing an overall sense of well-being.
During my internship as a clinical dietitian, I observed these e� ects more than once. I distinctly remember one occasion around Mardi Gras when a nurse dressed up in a clown costume tried her best to cheer up patients, some of whom were desperately ill. � at night, the nursing sta� reported having dispensed signi� cantly less pain medica-tion than on other days.
Structural Integration, or Rol� ng as it is commonly referred to is a system of hands on manipulation bodywork and movement
education developed in the 1970s by Dr. Ida P. Rolf. � e goal of Rol� ng is to bring the body into proper alignment and restore bal-
ance by working with fascia and connective tissue. Our bodies tend to come out of alignment from a variety of factors, such as poor pos-
ture, injuries and over use. At � rst glance Rol� ng
looks like a massage but with a couple of key di� er-ences. Rol� ng is interactive. It incorporates movement to stimulate nerve impulses to the brain while working on the fascia and so� tissue. � e focus is on the manipu-lation of fascia (the sheath-like substance that binds muscles together), which is what distinguishes Rol� ng from chiropractic, which works with bones, and from therapeutic massage, which works on the muscles.
Rol� ng is done on a massage table while wear-ing running shorts and a jogging bra. Rol� ng also incorporates a component of movement analysis. It is common to work on the table for a while and then stand or walk to observe and recognize the changes.
People seek out Rol� ng for many reasons. Many come to Rol� ng to help improve their posture. Years of slouching and
sitting at a desk in front of a computer can take a toll on your posture. Forward head posture is common in our increasing techno-logical world. Forward head posture is when the ears are positioned in front of the shoulder instead of directly over the shoulder. � is can lead to slouching at the computer, while driving or simply sitting. For every inch your head is forward the equiva-lent of 10 pounds is added to your head which causes the muscles in the neck and upper back to work harder. � is added weight and stress on the neck muscles and nerves can lead to headaches, poor breathing patterns, as well as neck and shoulder tension. Well over half the population has forward head posture.
Dr. Rolf had a theory that pain in the body came from basic imbalances in the body’s alignment, which can be reinforced over time by gravity and patterns such as carrying a purse
or bag on one shoulder, or protecting an injured le� knee by shi� ing weight to the right leg. Rol� ng works to correct these imbalances and re-train the body to move in a more balanced and e� cient manner.
Rol� ng has become pop-ular with athletes to help with bal-ance and quicker recovery time from injuries. People are trying it as a way to enhance athletic performance and increase � exibil-ity. � is can help
reduce injuries and nagging aches and pains. Increased e� ciency in movement can help athletes to perform better and move with less restriction. Rol� ng is an excellent foundation for and complement to yoga, pilates and other athletic endeavors.

CRIME ALERTThis week’s…
Police Blotter RePORTeR STaFF
Car thefts in King County have declined by more than half since the inception of the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office imple-mented what they named the ‘Car Theft Initiative’ (CTI) in 2005.
Just seven years ago, King County ranked sixth in the nation in the rate of auto theft.
The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) re-ported that for 2011, the Seattle-King County met-ropolitan region ranked 12th for the number of stolen cars. The number of auto thefts nationally is also trending down with a 3.3 percent drop from 2010 to 2011.
The Crime Bureau reports that auto thefts
nationally are now at the lowest point in the last 45 years.
The Washington Auto Theft Prevention Author-ity is echoing similar positive trends statewide when it comes to auto theft. It reports that state-wide, auto thefts have declined 43 percent from 2005 to 2011.
In the last five years, the average sentence for an auto thief has more than doubled from 27 months to 66 months in prison.
In 2007, the Elizabeth Nowak-Washington Auto Theft Prevention Au-thority Act was enacted by the Washington state Legislature. That program provides grant money for assisting law enforce-ment in investigating and preventing auto thefts
in the state. It is funded by a surcharge on traffic infractions.
When the prosecuting attorney and law en-forcement launched the new car theft initiative, there were approximately 17,700 reported car thefts in King County. In 2011, that number fell to 8,623. That means that there were 9,000 fewer stolen cars in 2011 than there had been in 2005.
Using the National In-surance Institute’s average claim for loss of $8,600 per stolen vehicle, this de-crease reflects a savings of over $80 million to King County insurers over the course of 2011.
The savings to citizens, insurance companies and the overall improvement to public safety have been enormous.
For more information, go to the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority website: http://watpa.waspc.prg.
King County car thefts fall sharply
SR-520 rebuild is under budget
Constructing the full State Route 520 corri-dor from Interstate 5 to Redmond, including a new floating bridge and six-lane highway, is estimated to cost $522 million less than the 2009 legislative budget cap, the Washington State Department of Transporta-tion said.
WSDOT finalized docu-ments for a $300 million federal loan that will fund design and construction of the next portion of the SR-520 project — a westbound bridge between the west-end landing of the new floating bridge and Montlake.
At the same time, Trans-portation Secretary Paula Hammond ordered a re-view to fully understand the cause of concrete spalling and more-than-expected cracking in new pontoons.
Issues that occurred dur-ing the first cycle will likely lead to additional, yet-to-be-determined costs for repairs and schedule delays under discussion between the state and its pontoon and bridge-replacement contractors. Negotiations will take place over the next few months.

Two years ago the Bothell High School football team traveled to Tahoma High School in Tacoma to take on Bellermine Prep for a state playo� game. � e No. 5 ranked Cougars’ season came to an abrupt end. So when Bothell drew Bellermine Prep Saturday during the second round of the state playo� s it seemed as if karma was com-ing back around.
But the Cougars fell behind early, making critical mistakes and giving up three second-quarter touchdowns from which they could not recover.
� e Lions held o� a fourth quarter rally to beat Bothell 35-30, ending the Cougars’ tumultuous season.
Crucial mistakes hurt Bothell, like a 91-yard inter-ception return for a touch-down by Bellermine Prep to start the game. But the Cou-gars came storming back, � rst scoring on a two-yard touch-down run by Danny Wilson to tie the game and a 14-yard touchdown pass from Ross Bowers to Jared Berry to take a 14-7 lead to start the second quarter. Wilson � nished the game with over 100 yards on the ground.
But another big mistake by
the Cougars gave the Lions the momentum back. A short run play became a huge 44-yard scamper for Prep run-ning back Lou Millie, as he broke free for the touchdown.
� e Lions continued to add to the pressure, scoring again on a shorter three-yard touchdown run to reclaim the lead 21-14.
Bothell got three points back with a long 38-yard � eld goal by Alec Yarno, but Bellermine extended the lead again just before hal� ime
with its third touchdown of the quarter. � e score pushed the advantage to a 28-17 lead heading into the locker room.
Prep pushed its advantage to 35-17 during fourth quar-ter but the Cougars never gave up. Bowers and Berry hooked up for a 57-yard touchdown pass to cut into the lead. Bowers then found Wilson for a touchdown pass during the waning minutes of the game. But a failed two-point conversion le� the Cougars needing a third
touchdown to win and not enough time on the clock.
� e Cougars committed three turnovers and a big penalty on a kicko� return that negated a touchdown. � e mistakes hurt the team’s chance to advance to the state quarter � nals.
Bothell football blasts Curtis
Bothell blasted Curtis 31-3 during the � rst round of the state playo� s on Nov. 3 at Pop
Keeney Stadium.Wilson showed why he is
so valuable, � ghting through leg cramps to scramble for 82 yards on the ground and two touchdowns.
But it was Bothell’s defense, forcing � ve turnovers, which gave the Cougars a big advan-tage during the contest.
� e Cougars began the game with a quick 7-0 lead, as Wilson scored on the team’s fourth play from scrimmage, a 19-yard touchdown run. Curtis got a little back with a 28-yard � eld goal, but it was all Bothell for the remainder of the game.
Gherardini hit a 42-yard � eld goal on the Cougar’s en-suing possession to push the lead back to seven points.
Wilson then extended the advantage, carrying multiple defenders into the end zone on a 4-yard run. Darrin Lau-fassa added to the lead with a two-point conversion.
� e turnovers began to mount for Curtis during the second half and Bothell’s Aar-on Wilks made the Vikings pay for the biggest mistake of the game. Wilks took an interception on the 10-yard line in for a touchdown, giv-ing the Cougars a 25-3 lead during the third quarter.
Bothell added a fourth touchdown during the � nal quarter, as Kizhan Proctor
scored on a running play from 10-yards out.
For Bothell, this season has been full of highs and lows. � e team entered the season ranked in most top 10 polls for the state but then lost its � rst three games of the season.
� e league schedule helped the Cougars get over the hump, as they went unde-feated, including a mammoth 66-21 Spaghetti-Bowl victory against rival Inglemoor.
Bothell � nishes the season with a 6-5 overall record and the Crest Division title.
� e loss was toughest on the team’s seniors, as it was the last time they will step foot on a prep football � eld as a player.
� ose seniors include: Derek Pedersen, Jared Berry, Darrin Laufasa, Jeremy Ruef, Spencer Curtright, Aaron Wilks, Zachary Alvis, Devin Fife-aebischer, Jed Aboulhosn, Je� Han-sen, Jared Markewicz, Will McIntyre, Riley Brohaugh, Dakota Warner, Alec Yarno, Joshua Dibenedetto, Reshon Watson, Camden McLeod, Brad Joyner, Connor Lobe, Davidson, Drew Williams, Kizhan Proctor, Mitch Wells, Danny Wilson, Tristen Bartsch, Anthony � elen, Sean Hutcheson and Scott Williams.

Don Sidhu has held vari-ous jobs at gas stations, he’s driven ice cream trucks and taxi cabs and worked in a small business since he came to the United States from India in 1992.
Sidhu put a lot of money into his new business when the Liquor Control Board auctioned o� the 167 state-run liquor stores to private retailers in April. He says he and his brother have put in $1.5 to $2 million from the four stores they bid on, including one in Kirkland’s Houghton neighborhood.
But Sidhu - like several other liquor store owners in the state - has felt the impact since liquor privatization took e� ect last June.
He was forced to close Liquor Store No. 57 in Houghton two weeks ago because he said the store lost 85 percent of business since privatization.
“We’re broke. � e landlord
(at one location outside of Kirkland) is coming a� er us because the personal guar-antee is signed,” said Sidhu. “I’m looking for everything, there’s nothing I can do.”
Bankruptcy may be inevi-table, he says.
Sidhu, who bought two stores in Vancouver and one in Kennewick, which is now closed, purchased the right to the Houghton location at 10609 N.E. 68th St. for $344,712. � e right to operate the others were purchased at state auction for $264,125, $263,152 and $212,106 respectivly.
Many retailers would say the state packaged the liquor stores as a great business opportunity. � e high-est bidders were promised “special rights,” such as the exclusive right to apply for a liquor license at the current state run locations. And under Initiative-1183, the stores couldn’t sell liquor if their retail space was under 10,000 square feet, but these stores could. Additional cost
control by employing non-government workers would also save retailers a substan-tial amount of money in the private sector.
On top of it all, retailers
were o� ered a slice of Wash-ington’s billion dollar liquor business.
“Did they bid too much for the opportunity?” said commercial real estate broker
Byron Roselli. “Most every-body would probably say yes, but one of the reasons the bid amounts were where they were at is because of the way the state sold the packages as opportunities.”
A� er the auction on April 20, which had bids as high as $750,000 a store, the state put down a time restriction. From April 25 to May 11 store leases or fully executed Letters of Intent had to be locked down as well as a full cash payment of 80 percent of the liquor inventory as of Feb. 1 - soon to be discovered as unfavorable, slow-moving merchandise.
“� ese transactions take some time – traditionally, lease negotiations (normally) could take up to one year,” said Roselli. “But the state was forcing complete nego-tiations and executed leases in two weeks.”
Roselli has worked with the Washington State Liquor Control Board on the place-ment of liquor stores in Clark County and was involved in
communications between potential bidders and liquor store landlords.
“� e May 11 deadline ensured that those people would have their liquor license by May 31 because they legally couldn’t have spirits without it (come June 1 when privatization was put into e� ect),” said Liquor Control Board spokesman Mikhail Carpenter.
As a result of the short time-frame, Roselli said some landlords gave adverse rates and length of terms to the new tenants. Retailers ran into problems, despite the e� ort of extensive public outreach from the Liquor Control Board.
Several stores have yet to open due to complications with leases.
Added expenses have also been a problem for some retailers since privatization.
When bidders began preparing their stores for occupancy, many discovered the hard drives in the Point

www.bothell-reporter.com • www.kenmore-reporter.com [15]November 16, 2012[ Liquor from page 14] of Sale (POS) systems for keeping track of inventory were removed and they had to “scramble” to load all of the inventory numbers, pricing, codes and other numbers into new systems - another expense.
“All bidders were counting on full inventories so they could compete but they used their cash reserves to buy POS systems and inventory,” Roselli said.
Carpenter says the hard drives were removed because they had secret information pertaining to bank accounts that linked to headquarters, but that was communicated to bidders beforehand.
And when retailers did do inventory, the slow-moving merchandise, such as the $250 Patron, was unsustain-able and many were forced to buy more popular alcohol immediately.
The escalated pricing from distributors didn’t help either.
Customers are required to pay a 17 percent fee (includes the cost of goods, operat-ing costs and profit), a 20.5 percent retail sales tax and a $3.77 per liter tax on all product sold. Roselli said taxes and fees make up more than 50 percent of gross sales in all stores.
“The bidders realized they would lose significant business to competing retail but didn’t realize the impact of the 17 percent fee,” said Roselli. “I believe a major portion of the (previously state-run) 167 stores sold will fail by the end of the year.”
Because distributors nego-tiate price based on volume, outlets like Safeway and Costco could get much better deals if they bought in larger quantity.
“They (the bidders) don’t have the buying power,” Car-penter said. “The prices are determined by the distribu-tor.”
Roselli said there are two major “quasi monopolistic” distributors in Washington - Young’s Market Company and Southern Wine & Spirits.
“From a bystander’s posi-tion, it’s absolutely incred-ible that this is allowed to happen,” Roselli said. “One of the primary issues that every political candidate is running on is jobs. These closures have meant several hundreds of jobs.”
Carpenter confirmed he had heard of liquor store closures but said there was no way for them to track how many since they were now private and had no obligation to inform the State Liquor
Control Board. He speculated a big reason could be because of the rise in competition since privatization but could not verify why.
Two other previously state-run liquor stores in Kirkland have also closed, but the Reporter could not confirm what led to those circum-stances.
Other liquor stores which are still open report business is slow or just surviving.
Josh Boggs, assistant manager of Redmond Ridge Liquor and Wine, said that business has been fairly slow since the state was in the liquor business.
“We do have a lot of items that you can’t get at a Costco or other grocery stores,” said Boggs, adding that they carry
specialty items like high-end tequila, bourbon, scotch and gin.
However, those other stores are grabbing a large amount of the liquor busi-ness, Boggs added.
“To be able to see liquor right in front of you while you’re shopping, it grabs your attention. It’s a convenience factor,” he said.
Redmond Ridge Liquor and Wine, owned by Chuck Ferrel, has been open about four years and previously contracted with the state to sell liquor.
Abi Eshagi of Woodin-ville purchased the store at Bothell-Everett Highway 20617 for $110,000.
“We never opened (the Bothell store) because
we couldn’t get the lease,” said Eshagi. “What wasn’t disclosed was that someone already leased the location.”
Pete’s Wine had already applied for a liquor license in that spot.
Eshagi said that he has filed a petition with the State Liquor Control Board and that his lawyers are looking into the matter. He refused further comment on the legal procedures avail-able to him.
He owns two others in the state that have survived.
“Sales have been OK,” Es-hagi said. “But they have not been nearly what they were (prior to privatization).”
And yet, there are still liquor store owners who are optimistic.
Over at Premium Wine & Spirits on Redmond Way, manager Peggy Binckley said they’ve been busy since co-owners Jeff and Michael Roh took over in June. Jeff bid $281,660 in a state auction in April to win the rights to the store.
Location may be key. The state turned the building at 16389 Redmond Way into a liquor store in April 2010. And the brick building has some history behind it, according to Binckley, who said it was Redmond Mayor Bill Brown’s car-repair shop in the 1920s.
“People love this building — it’s dear to their heart,” she said. “The owners have gone to great lengths to restore it.”

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