Bothell Fire Commissioner knighted for service in World War II BY DEANNA ISAACS disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

enmore resident and Bothell Fire Commissioner Jack Van Eaton not only turned 91 years old on Feb. 17, but was also knighted as a Chevalier in France’s Legion of
Honour, the nation’s highest honor, for his actions during World War II (WWII). The story started in 1944, when Jack Van Eaton enlisted in the Army with his brother, hoping they’d both go to flight school. While his brother would fly 23 missions in a B-29 bomber
over Japan, Jack would head to Europe and take up arms against the Nazis. “That was my brother,” Van Eaton said. “He flew and I walked [the war].” From armored infantry training, Van Eaton went to train in the Tennessee backwoods.
Students protest lack of a diversity center at UW Bothell
“Maybe 100,000 people were transferred out of the Air Corps into the infantry, so then I ended up in the 78th Infantry Division,” Van Eaton said. “We went to Tennessee to do maneuvers in the swamp and chase poisonous rattlesnakes across the streams in
front of us.” One day, he was told to muster with all his gear in the parade grounds. “Finally, I think they thought we were well enough trained and sent us to a ship in New York harbor. The ship I went on had previously been a

Students at the University of Washington Bothell campus staged a walk-out from classes, on Feb. 25, to protest the lack of a diversity center on campus. While the protest was held in conjunction with the Black Lives Matter protests occurring at the UW Seattle and UW Tacoma campuses, the UW Bothell campus students were protesting for the creation of a place where students can come together to overcome and learn about diversity issues, while also feeling included in the campus community. “Our plan here is that we want a diversity center and

The city of Kenmore held its first ever State of the City address on Feb. 25. Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey addressed the audience about many of the issues facing the municipality, including the city’s finances and five key initiatives. The address was hosted by the Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce and was held at the Inglewood Country Club, in Kenmore. Multi-modal safety has been a key issue within Kenmore. Along with a new sidewalk grant and the Target Zero initiative for pedestrian and bicycle safety, the city of Kenmore [ more ADDRESS page 6 ]
Heated discussions dominate transportation commission public hearing on 405 tolls The proposal to toll Interstate 405 from Bellevue to Lynnwood received less than an enthused response at a public meeting held at Kirkland City Hall Feb. 19. A presentation by Tolling
Division Assistant Secretary Craig Stone to the State Transportation Commission (WSTC) at the beginning of the meeting intended to relieve some concerns about the proposal, as well as explain the necessity for it on a highway which Stone
said is among the worst, if not the worst, in the state when it comes to traffic congestion. Traffic is so bad, he said, the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane is not meeting state and federal requirements for vehicles to be traveling at 40 miles per
hour 90 percent of the time. Instead, Stone said, vehicles are driving at that speed only 60 percent of the time, despite adding nine transit centers, 5,000 new park and ride parking stalls and 1,700 vanpools since 2002. The proposed toll would
charge for the use of the existing carpool lane from SR 522 to I-5, along with two lanes between Northeast 6th Street in Bellevue and SR 522 in Bothell, or 17 miles, for those with less than the specified occupancy. Motorcycles, and buses that seat
at least 16 people, would be exempt from the toll. Stone cited tolled highways in Miami and San Diego as evidence of how the proposal would reduce traffic congestion. Though the commission has yet to determine [ more TOLLS page 10 ]

He was originally sent to Swedish Hospital in Edmonds, but was transferred to Harborview in Seattle later on. Kmetz succumbed to his injuries and passed away at Harborview five days after the accident. While no drugs or alcohol were involved, it does seem that speed was a factor in the accident.

s a U.S. citizen and a resident of Bothell, I am deeply saddened by the recent hate acts against my fellow Americans and their places of worship. I find it hard to understand what the motive was behind it. Our forefathers came to this land to be free and avoid religious persecution. We, as Americans, have made sacrifices to uphold our values of equality and justice for all with religious freedom and tolerance. We believe in winning the hearts and the minds of friends and foes alike. As a result, we are the beacon of hope for the rest of the world. As a civil society and peace-loving citizens of Bothell, I pray that those who made this error in judgement can see the light of wisdom and truth and recognize that it is the goodness in our heart and purity of our intent that has made America what it is today, the only superpower. Our unity and diversity is our strength. It is in America where we have entrusted a son of an African Muslim to be our commander-in-chief and keep Americans safe and protect us from terrorists. It is extremely unfortunate that recently some individuals amongst us vandalized a Hindu temple, an Islamic mosque and a local junior high school with hateful messages. Yes, in our own backyard, some individuals have unsuccessfully tried to harass our peace-loving, law-abiding, tax-paying fellow Americans. They did not even spare a school, possibly trying to affect the minds of the youngsters. I fail to understand their aim or what are they wanting and what they get out of it. No religion, whether it is Christianity, Judaism, Islam,

Question of the week:
Adhere to American principles, embrace differences
Guest Editorial
BOTHELL KENMORE
OPINION
GUEST EDITORIAL
Hinduism, people from other faiths, and non believers, including atheists alike do not preach hurting anybody’s feelings or provoke attacking others religious sites and places of worship. This is what differentiates us from our enemies and this is why there is such a clear-cut difference between good and evil. And we know that in the end, good guys win. And this is the reason that civilization continues to prosper. I see this as a challenge for all of us to get these uninformed individuals back in the fold. We are one big family and we have to educate those who try to scare our fellow Americans of different faiths. We have to make them recognize how our differences do not make anybody better or lesser then others and having a different faith does not mean a threat to anyone. We see on a daily basis how people from different faith are serving our nation in all fields including military and civil, contributing to our progress. We have to start teaching
our children not to harass our next generation of Americans in school. We have to support our schools to help educate tolerance and acceptance of each other. The families, clergy, media, leaders, both elected and non elected, and society in general, all have to continue to work on emphasizing the principles of mutual respect and tolerance and condemn any un-American acts. I know that we as a Bothell community, care for our neighbors and we support and stand up for what is right. I hope and pray for my fellow citizens that God keeps us all safe and away from any danger. I also hope that those individuals who engaged in recent vandalism, make the right choices in the future and adhere to the American principles. Our togetherness is what makes America strong. May God bless America.
Nadia Mustafa, Bothell resident and former city council candidate.

OPINION
Tourism means business
When out-of-state travelers spend money on hotels, restaurants, shopping and transportation, they not only help those businesses, they pay taxes that benefit Washingtonians. Visitor spending in Washington generates $400 in tax revenue for each Washington household – which means a $400 reduction in annual household taxes for each family. Snohomish County benefits greatly from tourism. Visitors spend $930 million in Snohomish County annually, contributing more than $67.3 million in state and local tax revenues. By spending money at local businesses, visitors support employment of Snohomish County residents. The Washington Tourism Alliance (WTA) is aiming to re-establish a robust statewide tourism marketing program via HB 1938 and SB 5916. These bills don’t contain any state funding; instead they ask the State to help collect funds – because the State already has the collection mechanism in place, while the WTA doesn’t. Funding will be generated by the tourism industry itself through assessments and voluntary contributions. Through these assessments, the WTA estimates a $7.5 million target budget. HB 1938 and SB 5916 make good business sense – they will help increase travel to Washington, visitor spending, jobs and tax revenues.

Local leaders call for vandalism to be treated as hate crime BY DEANNA ISAACS AND DAN CATCHPOLE Reporter Newspapers
Local faith leaders have called on law enforcement to treat the vandalism at the Hindu Temple in Bothell as hate crimes, and law enforcement agencies say they are taking the incidents seriously though they haven’t determined if they were hate crimes or not. The Hindu Temple in Bothell and Skyview Junior High School were vandalized with hate-speech graffiti on Feb. 15. The hate speech on the Hindu Temple had a swastika and the words ‘Go Home,’ whereas the school
had a swastika and ‘Muslims be gone’ and ‘Muslims get out.’ The temple has added surveillance cameras and other security measures, said Mani Vadari, one of its founding members, at a press conference on Feb. 25. Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian leaders and community members condemned the acts. As ugly as the incidents are, practitioners at the temple have been “humbled by the overwhelming support we have received” from the community and elected officials, he said. “This incident showed us the kindness and love of our
neighbors and religious organizations,” Niranjan said. “I feel blessed, because I found out who are my friends.” The Hindu community can forgive the perpetrators “for what they did to us,” he said. But “we believe the law should take its course.” The Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating the vandalism at the temple, which is on unincorporated land. The Bothell Police Department is handling the graffiti at Skyview Junior High, which is two blocks away but inside city limits. The campus of Skyview Junior High School was also hit with hate-speech graffiti;
however, kids were on holiday break when the graffiti was found. “We are deeply disturbed by the vandalism at Skyview Junior High School. Here in Northshore School District, we take great pride in fostering a safe, nurturing learning environment that values and honors diversity and inclusivity,” a statement from the Nortshore School District said. “These offensive messages do not reflect the values or culture of our school district or greater Bothell community. District crews worked to quickly remove the vandalism, and the Bothell Police Department is
investigating.” The FBI also has been involved, said Ayn DietrichWilliams, spokeswoman for the bureau’s Seattle division. “From the get-go, the FBI has pursued a parallel but coordinated investigation,” she wrote in an email to The Daily Herald. “Although an open investigation, ours merely matches up with the work done by our Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office partners, so we are poised to become more actively involved should evidence prove substantial to build a federal criminal case.”

In a few short weeks, students across Northshore will begin taking annual, required state assessments. This year, however, students in Washington and 20 other states will take a completely new set of assessments aligned to the Common Core State Standards in math and English/language arts. Adopted by 42 states,
these standards are generally regarded as much more rigorous and demanding than previous state learning standards. For the first time in the 20-plus years of annual state testing, we will soon have data that will demonstrate how our students perform on common learning standards and assessments with students from across the nation. While this will be our first district-wide administration of these new assessments, in recent years

The city’s plan for “Shop more, Play more, Find more, Kenmore” efforts were highlighted during the address, showcasing some of the Kenmore businesses who have incubated their business within the city of Kenmore. These businesses include Lifestyles Express, a highluxury lifestyle club, inventory and solutions corporation Synch, and arts-based support group Silver Kite. The “Where to have fun” segment of the address showcased the before and after photographs of the Northshore Summit Park construction and the plans for a skate park in an empty lot behind Kenmore City Hall, scheduled to open in September 2015. For many Kenmore residents, access to Lake Washington is vital, which led to the city’s acquisition of Squires Landing along the Sammamish River corridor. There are also Kenmore’s Hydroplane Cup and Waterfront Activities Center located at Squires Landing Park, where citizens can rent kayaks, canoes, rowboats and experience a Chinese Dragon boat.

it’s not just about color,” said Melanie McManus, senior at the UW Bothell Campus, about how the protest for a diversity center came from a class project. “One of the things that came out and stuck out to me was that people thought ‘well it’s going to exclude white people’ and we just told them it’s not about just white people.” The idea of a diversity center is not merely for those of minority descent, but is a place where people of all colors and cultural backgrounds can come together as a community for the greater good of the community. According to McManus, the person who first suggested a diversity center was a white male veteran from the same class. Dave Hudson, a teacher of a veterans’ transition class and student veteran at the UW Bothell Campus, wants to see his military experience with diversity extended to the civilian world, too. To Hudson, diversity is “each culture, ethnic background, each community bonding together first on campus, and then we break out as a whole and make it all diverse, within the communities and outside as a bigger
picture.” “To me, the only way we can truly say we are diverse is that, I don’t care about what you see with color of skin around campus; that’s not diversity to me, it’s a socialism of the different communities getting together,” Hudson said. “…That’s what we hope the diversity center will do,” McManus said. “It will give me a space and a place to go to with other people who go through the same things that I’m going through.” That same sentiment was given by many speakers at the protest on Wednesday. Not only do students want a space that they can call their own, but also a space to learn and commune with other students about the difficulties of university life on a diverse campus. While there is collaboration within the classroom, there is not a place where that collaboration of diverse minds can connect outside the classroom. “They’re doing a great job inside the classroom but
not outside the classroom,” had heard the same thing Hudson said. “We need a before, he mentioned, “Not place where people can be from me.” saved, that’s the way I see it: Ross is dedicated to ‘safe spaces.’ creating a space, whether in a For Hudson, knowing that temporary or permanent lospaces are available, not just cation, for students to gather, for veterans but any person though it will come after feeling the need to be heard figuring out where to educate and accepted, can save lives. all the incoming students. “Speaking for veterans, “The biggest challenge you can save lives,” Hudson is [the] campus is growing said. “These different spaces faster than we can accomcan save lives for every modate,” Ross said. “The community involved, to number one priority is talk to somebody that they instruction, labs, etc.” can relate to help them with While the biggest priority anything they go through at is the learning spaces, there the university.” are plans for new dorms and Dr. Terryl Ross, director of more buildings to accomdiversity at UW Bothmodate the influx of ell, was on hand to students.

Inglemoor High School orchestra plays concert at City Hall By Deanna Isaacs
disaacs@bothell-reporter.com
K
enmore City Hall filled with the sounds of Antonín Dvořák, and other chamber orchestra pieces, as the Inglemoor High School Orchestra played a concert for citizens
of Kenmore on Feb. 25. The concert celebrated IHS’s invitation to play at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, both internationally known concert venues in New York City. During the concert, Kenmore Mayor David Baker
presented the Orchestra with a check for $1,500 for playing at city hall that will help students travel to these opportunities. “There’s a couple of pesky laws on the state books and we have to be legal and we have to follow them,” said Baker at the event. “We can’t gift money, we have to have something in exchange for it. We have got to support this, so it’s not much, it’s a start, but here’s a check for $1,500 from the city.”
According to Baker, the city cannot legally donate to their cause, so instead the city paid for the students to perform a concert for citizens at City Hall. “This is something more than that. There’s a lot in the community that don’t get the opportunity to hear these kids,” Baker said. “I find it amazing. We are so fortunate to have this quality of children in our community that I’m just overwhelmed.”

While Kenmore City Hall is not as prestigious as the opportunity to play in New York City, it is still something that the students of Inglemoor’s Chamber Orchestra. “I want to tell you right now, this is more about what is happening in our schools than is not,” said Ted Christensen, teacher of band and orchestra at IHS. “I have the opportunity to work with these kids today as they get ready,… I said to them ‘I hope you all appreciate, at your age, how incredibly talented you all are.’” About 30 people came to listen to the string ensemble play and to support this group of eager and dedicated students reach their goals. “They really do a lot of great music,” Christensen said. While it was an opportunity for many citizens to come hear the music played by IHS’s orchestra, it was also an opportunity for students to raise awareness for their group within the community of Kenmore. “It was really fun, I was glad we were able to do this and raise awareness about
our orchestra and the arts within our city,” said Ben Porter. “It’s really fun, just knowing we are going to Carnegie Hall… and to be part of this group doing so many special things is really motivating and really enjoyable.” For many of the students, it’s not only a joy to play, but to be part of this special community within Inglemoor High School. “I love it, I love being a part of it,” said Rebecca Crawford, viola player in the Dvorak group. “Just being part of the group and being with the other instruments and with other people is really great and interacting is great, and I like being able to contribute to that.” Of course, it’s not every day that students get to go to Carnegie Hall, either. “Carnegie Hall is something you hear about when you’re little, and you hear about all these famous people playing, then we as an orchestra get to go,” Crawford said. “It’s a kind of like a dream come true, it’s really cool.”

[10] March 6, 2015 the tolling rate, the estimate is between 75 cents and $10, though Stone added that they estimate 77 percent of tolls would be less than $1. The proposed toll rate on I-405 from Bellevue to Lynnwood is just one step in an overall plan to toll the entire highway from where it begins, north in Lynwood, to where it connects with State
Route 167 in Renton. SR 167 already has a tolled HOV lane. The WSTC will make their final decisions at a meeting on March 18 at Kirkland City Hall. The public comment segment of the meeting was rife with emotion as both attendants and the advisory board members argued and debated. At one point during
the meeting, one man spoke out of order. Among the people to speak during the public comment was Kenmore Mayor David Baker, who stated that since tolling on 520, the Kenmore Crosslake Corridor has been swamped with commuters looking to avoid the toll by driving north of Lake Washington on State Route 522. If I-405 is tolled, he warned,

communities like Kenmore “will be severely affected” as the city’s streets take the brunt of toll diversion. “We would respectfully ask that you consider using tolling for mitigation for cities affected,” he said. The first person to comment attacked one aspect of the proposal that would raise the exemption for carpooling from two to three people or more during peak times. He said that he and a friend carpool to take the HOV lane, but if this new policy is implemented they likely won’t be able to find a third person. If that happens, he said there is no point in carpooling and they will just take their own vehicles, which would add more cars to the road and make traffic even worse. And while public transit is an option for some people, he said, it’s not convenient for everyone who either doesn’t live or doesn’t work near a transit center. The real solution to traffic congestion, he said, is to provide incentives, possibly financial ones, for more people to carpool. “Who made this proposal?” he asked. One man spoke out of order to express his skepticism about the impact of their comments on the commis-
Tolls for the HOT lanes on I-405 between Lynnwood and Bellevue are expected to be between 75 cents and $10. Reporter file photo sion’s decisions, wondering aloud if the commission had already predetermined things such as the tolling rate and the public comment was to satisfy legal obligations. One man who has lived in Kenmore for 18 years concurred with his sentiments, claiming “It’s a done deal.” He added that the problem has been a reactive rather than proactive plan for dealing with traffic when the infrastructure was being built and the population on the Eastside was growing. While he said he doesn’t have a problem with tolls, the inconsistency with having certain roads tolled and not others causes spillover traffic in streets that aren’t designed to handle it. Originally from Springfield, Mass., he added that the tolled highways on the East Coast have more lanes than I-405. The current tolling proposal for I-405, he said, would just be a “Band-
aid.” “You’re not looking at the bigger picture,” he said. One person to support the toll proposal was Sonny Putter, the former mayor for Newcastle, who said it was the “best sustainable solution” and the only realistic one for traffic congestion. Sean Osborne, a Shoreline resident, called the toll a “disgusting undemocratic idea” and advocated raising the gas tax instead. The only Kirkland resident to speak was Bob Campbell, who said they needed to give commuters a break and not toll I-405, which he referred to as “405 the parking lot.” Transportation Commission Executive Director Reema Griffith told the attendants that state and federal mandates for I-405’s HOV lanes leave them with little choice for improving traffic. “We have a mandate we can’t ignore,” she said.

He and more than 10,000 others in the 78th Infantry, and all their gear, machinery, and equipment, boarded several ships and crossed the Atlantic. “We left New York harbor on Friday the 13th of October 1944. Friday the 13th, we thought, ‘Oh, that’s not a good sign,’” Van Eaton said. “We traveled alone, we did not travel in a convoy. Our ship was faster than the convoys go.” “We were told it was faster than a submarine, but we were quite aware that it was not faster than a torpedo.” The 78th infantry made it safely across “The Pond” in England and started training to fight Nazi troops in France. The first time he saw combat was during the Battle of the Bulge, one of the most notorious of the European campaign. Trench foot and frozen feet were high among the other troops, however, Van Eaton’s battalion never got those issues as he had taught them how to live with the cold. Growing up on a farm in Canada, Van Eaton was no stranger to the cold. “It was probably 30 - 40 degrees below freezing, around 10 to 15 below zero,” Van Eaton said. “No matter what it was called, it was cold.” During his time near the front lines, he had many near misses with Nazi artillery, fortune shone on him, but not on about half of the men with which he went over to Europe. “We were told to ‘keep the
good hearing ‘all cost,’” Van Eaton said. During the Battle of the Bulge, when ordered by his sergeant to lubricate his machine gun with motor oil, Van Eaton was nearly given a court martial for disobeying a direct order. However, men on the lines were needed and when it came time to fire at the advancing Nazi’s, Van Eaton’s machine gun was the only one that fired. “While we were sitting in the woods waiting and doing nothing, except making sure the Germans didn’t make it past us, an order came down and a sergeant came in with a can of motor oil with orders that we should oil all of our weapons,” he said. “I was born and raised in the cold country, and I know that oil - in cold weather - doesn’t allow things to move...” “I said well if I’m court martialed will they come out here and do it, or be forced to go into a warm building to be court martialed,” Jack said. “That upset the poor sergeant, he got real upset...” Another time, a German troop had raised the white flag of surrender and had asked that the Allied troops come and take them into custody as they’d run out of ammunition. Van Eaton was a heavy machine gunner, slower than the rifleman ahead of him, which was good for Van Eaton when the German troops ended up finding some rounds and used them without prejudice. There were also other events during the war that left

Deanna Isaacs, Bothell/Kenmore Reporter Van Eaton feeling survivor’s remorse, when the group split and the other team were spotted by German artillery. They didn’t make it, but his group did, allowing them to see the artillery coming in at 20- to 30-foot intervals. “The one that landed over there were so close to the foxhole that two guys were temporarily deaf from the concussion, it was that close,” Van Eaton said. “So we didn’t shoot anymore, we pretended we were dead. Then when we saw that our riflemen were in town, we left the foxhole and spread out at 25-30 foot intervals so that if artillery shells came in they’d only get one or two of us.” Three shells landed along the division as they came into town; all three shells were duds - a saving grace Van Eaton attributes to the Polish

captives who were creating duds for the Germans. However, the Battle of the Bulge is also where Van Eaton took a Nazi bullet to a leg. “The morning of February the third, why I felt an impact on my leg and I told my Sergeant, ‘I been hit,’ and he said ‘I didn’t hear anything,’ and I said ‘neither did I, but I sure felt something,’” Van Eaton said of getting shot. “The rifle bullet went through a tree around 18-20 inches [away], and went through the buckle on my combat boot and into my leg.” They cut the boot off and found a piece of metal. He still has the bullet. “I consider that my life-saver. I ended up in the hospital and was there for the rest of the war,” Van Eaton said. “Fifty-percent of the
men I went over with, are still over there, so I’m grateful for that guy being a bad shot. I’m sure he wasn’t aiming at my foot.” According to Jack Cowen, honorary consul of France, thousands of people are on a waiting list to ensure the graves of troops who never made it home from WWII are always taken care of. And for good reason, too. The men who fought during WWII were instrumental in liberating France from the grips of Nazi Germany. From France, Van Eaton went to recover in a UK hospital for wounded GI’s. There, he helped keep troops healthy, first as an egg candler (when one looks for rotten eggs by holding them in front of a candle-backlit hole) and then as the most dedicated quality control specialist of
the ice creamery that ever graced the hospital’s kitchen. “I was in charge of the ice cream factory and I was so absolutely concerned about the value that I made it my personal responsibility to inspect every batch,” Van Eaton said. “Unfortunately, I got released from the hospital and that ended.” After visiting some relatives in the UK, connected through marriage, Van Eaton returned to a jubilant hospital. The Nazis had surrendered and the war in Europe was over: Victory in Europe, VE-Day of 1945. Van Eaton still returned to his company in Germany after ‘losing’ his orders on the return trip across the English Channel, and helped to clear houses of munitions or other dangerous leavings. While many of his memories of the war hold violence and strife, there were happier points, too. Such as the quick $40 he made for riding ‘rodeo’ on a mare, hopping off prior to a barbed wire fence separating the horse field from the potato field. Or the time members of his company found out that the accelerant in Nazi artillery was much different than that which the US used. “Instead of black powder, it was these sticks of explosive stuff and they found out if you light one end of it, it goes zipping through the air, and that was kind of like having a Fourth of July party,” he said. “I lit one of them, and mine ended up going ‘ziiip,’ right into the hay loft.”

he Bothell Police Department (BPD) has been utilizing much more social and new media than ever before, with a twitter account and, now, a blog page. According to Bothell police Cpt. Mike Johnson, a self proclaimed social media novice, the BPD has been working on these efforts for a while, though it took a bit more time than initially thought. “We have been working towards getting the blog up and running for weeks (maybe months) but the learning
curve was a little steep for us cops,” Johnson said in an email. Though, difficulties have not stopped police before and neither will difficulties in social media. “We quickly determined that we were not effectively messaging in 140 characters or less,” Johnson said. “There are times we will put out a simple tweet and times we will need more characters to tell more of the story.” The blog will host many types of information, from things currently happening in the community to blotter reports, and other important notices for the public. The BPD’s first official informational post concerned the search for the driver in
a pedestrian and vehicle incident where the driver of a green Subaru Outback hit a female student crossing the road on her way to school. “The search for the hit and run driver just worked out to be a good first post. As time allows we will be transitioning to more information being posted,” Johnson said. “We will also be looking to expand down the road. We are hoping to be able to post Animal Control information, [such as] lost/found animals, reminders about licensing, FAQs about leash laws, [and more].” There will also be information about found bicycles, as there are a lot turned in to the BPD, in hopes of reconnecting owners with their

two-wheeled property. Along with property reports, there will also be information about celebrations within the precinct. “We hope to post news and information about new hires (short bio and pic), news about promotions (we just promoted two sergeants and will be having a promo ceremony next week – I will post pics), retirements (to include a photo and a thanks for a job well done),” Johnson said in an email. While there will be posts and twitter comments about certain types of enforcement, such as stop sign and speed limit enforcements, the BPD blog will most likely not comment on ongoing investigations or internal issues. “As noted above, current issues such as the hit and run suspect, photos of fraud suspects (a pic on twitter with the tag, ‘I like to use stolen credit cards, do you know me’ type of stuff ) and following up on the blog with more information than will fit in a tweet,” Johnson said.

Students participate in scholars program Now in its ninth year, the Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS) program announced that Inglemoor High School students Abhinav Agnani, Kate Poon and Anand Sekar have been selected to participate in phase one of the 2014-15 program cycle. WAS is designed to connect high school juniors with educational and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics through independent learning, hands-on interaction, professional guidance, and site-based
tours. The students applied in fall of 2014, along with 212 student applicants from 112 different public, private and homeschool organizations, to participate in Phase One of the WAS Program. They are now among the 156 students still participating in an online, distance learning curriculum. Designed by NASA and the University of Washington, the curriculum focuses on the past, present, and future of human space travel. Participating students were able to register to earn five UW credits. The top performing 120 students will be invited to one of three Summer Residency sessions hosted by the Museum of Flight in July, phase two of the WAS program.
