Bothell mayor pre-applies for Wayne development permit BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com

development group, with which Bothell mayor Joshua Freed is involved, has begun the pre-application process to allow development of 50 houses on the back nine of Wayne Golf Course, a

proposal which has caused unease in the Bothell community. Many hope to see the back nine preserved as an open space. Jesse Sears, president of OneBothell, a group dedicated to preserving Wayne Golf Course for a variety of reasons, including environmental concerns, said the

pre-application development process is standard practice for developers. “He’s doing everything that a normal developer would do,” he said. Pre-applying for development raises the appraised value of the property, allowing Freed, who is in negotiations with a preservation

group called Forterra, to raise the purchase price. While the company does not yet own the land, the Richards family who currently owns the property is in a binding agreement to sell to it, Sears said. The problem for the community, Sears thinks, is the perception that the

mayor is acting more in the interest of his development company at the expense of resident’s wishes. “The community feels like he’s trying to maximize his profits against the community,” Sears said. Forterra has been in purchasing negotiations with the company since June,

Many religions celebrate during holiday season BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com

The American holiday season has traditionally been marked by Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year’s celebrations, but many other religions and traditions celebrate holidays, festivals and host practices as well. The Northshore area is home to a wide and diverse variety of traditions and faiths, and as the greater Seattle area continues to grow, many more may start to grow.

The emperor wanted the residents to convert and summoned Bahadur to New Delhi where he hoped to convince him to adopt his religion. When Bahadur and his five companions refused, Sing said three were executed and two were sent back to their village as messengers. When Bahadur refused to convert as well, he was beheaded.

Residents, council questions Puget Sound on power outage durations The atmosphere was tense during the Nov. 23 Kenmore City Council meeting. Around 25 residents took seats in the council chamber, many waiting to voice their concerns to councilmembers

and a representative from Puget Sound Energy (PSE) about widespread power outages after a Nov. 18 windstorm. Long-time Kenmore resident and business owner Russ Johnson was critical of PSE’s response. “I felt a great deal of frustration about the loss of

contact I experienced with my customers,” he said. Johnson owns Royal Journeys, a fishing expedition operation. He said he talked with other business owners around town who are also frustrated with lost revenue. Power outages in the area are fairly common after

large storms when branches and trees fall on power lines and equipment. One area in particular in northwest Kenmore is served by circuit 26, which doesn’t follow a road. In all, there are nine separate circuits that deliver power to Kenmore and most of those lines fallow roads. Circuit F

26 lines run through back yards and private property, which PSE spokeswoman RaeLynn Asah said makes it difficult to locate and repair damage. City officials expressed frustration at their inability to fix the problem since PSE owns the infrastructure. PSE is responsible for keep-

Hanukkah This year, the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah begins on Dec. 6 at sundown and goes through Dec. 14. Rabbi Yohanna Kinberg of the Congregation Kol Ami in Woodinville said that Hanukkah is more of a cultural

While the Hindu celebration of Diwali may have already passed this year, Hindu Temple and Cultural Center Chair Nit Niranjan said their center is always open for the public to come and pray, meditate or talk and improve themselves on a personal level. “The main emphasis is you need to do your job properly,” he said. “You need to have love, respect and knowledge.” He said people have many jobs, like being a good parent, loving spouse or working hard in a professional environment. The temple houses many shrines with deities from various religious orders. Niranjan said their temple believes all prayers to any god, great teacher or prophet is sent to one God, so people of all or no religious persuasions are welcome at the temple. “This religion survived because of what it stands for, it stands for humanity,” he said. The temple is anticipating more than 5,000 to come on New Years Day for prayers, food and community.

While it is a controversial celebration in some branches of Islam, others celebrate the Mawlid an Nabi, or the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad on Dec. 23. Ryan Welton from the Islamic Center of Bothell said they do not celebrate the tradition, but they do celebrate Ramadan and the Hajj along with all Muslims. The Islamic Center is open for prayer daily.

I’m seeing it getting worse for the infrastructure of electric,” he said. Many residents and councilmembers said they had to dispose of perishable food, watched their computers and appliances overload and try to stay warm during the November storm. “I don’t know how we’re going to work this,” Michelman said. PSE serves some 9,000 customers in Kenmore; they are the only electrical provider for the area. Many of these customers have family or friends living with them. Asah said the city is served by the Inglewood Substation along with nine different circuits. She said PSE is aware of their company’s poor performance in Kenmore and said it’s working on ways to fix it. One way Asah said PSE is addressing the problem is trimming brush and branches away from lines every four years instead of six, and also suggested the city help their linemen with easements on private property, an idea which struck a sour chord with the council. “I would say do everything you can to enforce

those easements,” Councilman Brent Smith said. “It’s your responsibility to enforce that.” Asah said the company is also working on installing a recloser on 195th Street, two new switches on 185th Street and a distribution automation in the Juanita area to decrease outage times. These improvements will be installed next year and assessed for another year, Asah said. Another frustration expressed by residents was the duration of the outages, which they felt was longer than surrounding areas. Power to Kenmore, Asah said, was restored before many surrounding areas in Snohomish and King Counties. Concerns about Kenmore being at the ‘end of the line’ were also expressed, leading to other areas willfully being restored first. “I can tell you that’s not true at all,” Asah said. “We restore power to every community based on the exact same metrics.” PSE’s metric for restoring power is based on a priority list, Asah said. Power is first restored to main lines, then priority targets such as hospitals and water treatment plants and finally private custom-

Kenmore residents took the stand to air their frustration over frequent outages to the Kenmore City Council. AARON KUNKLER, Kenmore Reporter ers and distribution lines. In this last storm, Asah said, the main line supplying power to Kenmore was downed, which the company had to restore before they could begin working on smaller outages. Weather woes were also blamed for outages in August due to drought-stricken trees becoming more brittle and breaking on lines during what the company said was the third-strongest storm in the last decade.

Councilwoman Laurie Sperry took a softer tone, thanking PSE for restoring power to Kenmore City Hall early, allowing them to use it as an emergency community center, but said it would be better if outages were reduced. “It does affect us, so anything you can do to shorten that duration,” she said. Finally, the idea of burying power cables was floated multiple times, an idea which Asah said may

not make a difference. “We can see and repair overhead power lines much easier than underground,” she said. Kenmore’s contract with PSE will be expiring soon,

and city officials said they will continue negotiation the terms of a renewal.

Bothell letter writer cherry-picks data Talijah Vaotogo of Bothell led in a letter, “If the world was blind, how many people would you impress.” Vaotogo added to mysteriousness of that by possibly inadvertently writing a letter that cherry-picks data in order to make a point. But Vaotogo is right that racism is a problem but doesn’t note that it is more so of an issue today than it was in 2008, when a clear majority of those who voted showed little penchant for racism in electing a black president. A good case can be made that actions on the part of this administration has created this change. Vaotogo identifies the need to stop “stereotyping and racial profiling” identifiers of racism today, without noting that they involve generalizing from numbers of exposure. If one expects to see Hispanics near our southern border it is because of experience. But most egregiously, Vaotogo identifies incidents that he/she thinks reflects racism without identifying the specifics of each. In the Michael Brown case, it was clear he robbed a store, and apparently those, including blacks, who found the officer innocent believed witnesses who testified Brown attacked the officer. In the Tamir Rice case, he aimed a gun at the officer and it should be made clear even to a kindergartner that doing so, especially under the kind of circumstances involved in this case, carries consequences. And in the Eric Garner case, if you violently resist arrest, you must expect a determined effort to subdue that resistance regardless of your color. Vaotogo cherry picks by stating that the officers involved used terms like “appeared aggressive” (appeared when attacked, point a gun, resist arrest?) apparently in reports that he/ she is quoting. That makes clear the reading of those reports must have involved very selective perception. Racial tensions are not confined to one race. Those that result in harm to individuals arise out of limited understanding and capacity for empathy. Being “blind” has many causes and manifestations making “impressing” particularly difficult.

WANIC program helps high school students find career path

An inter-district effort WANIC is a consortium made up of seven school districts from the Eastside: Bellevue, Issaquah, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, Northshore, Riverview and Snoqualmie Valley. Through this partnership, the districts share career and technical education (CTE) programs and high school students from any of the participating districts are able to enroll in any of the courses — even those whom are not at their home school or home district. Courses are offered at a number of locations throughout the districts, including Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWIT) in Kirkland and DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond as well as in schools in the Northshore, Bellevue and Issaquah school districts. And as in Running Start, students must provide their own transportation to get to these courses. And while courses are offered all over the Eastside, Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is the host district for WANIC. Dan Phelan, career technical education (CTE) director for LWSD, said in this role,

Fields of study WANIC is a state-approved inter-district CTE consortium, WANIC’s primary mission is to provide quality, diverse and costeffective career and technical education for all students. “It was established to provide advanced-level career and technical education program based upon rigorous academic and industry standards to prepare students for post-secondary education and successful entry in to high-skill, high-demand careers and employment,” Phelan said. In addition, Karen Hay, director of WANIC, said students can also receive college credits for the WANIC courses they take, bringing them that much closer to a degree. WANIC classes can also shorten the time it takes for them to earn specific certifications in their chosen field. The different areas of study offered through WANIC are arts, media, communication and design; business management; natural resources and agri-science; engineering, science and technology; health and human services; and information technology.

to meet and connect with other students they probably would not have otherwise because they are in different schools and districts. He said the people — students and instructors alike — are his favorite inbeing part of WANIC. Smith said he is still in contact with students from last year and has become close friends with a number of people.

A win-win

An instructor assists as two WANIC students work a fire hose in the program’s fire and EMS course. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Specific WANIC courses include interior design; horticulture; welding technology, design and fabrication; DigiPen robotics and future technologies; sports medicine; CISCO Networking Academy and fire and EMS. Hay said WANIC has 13 skill centers that are three class periods long and in which students can earn three credits. She said the program also offers 1-2 credit courses that are one period long. There are also threeweek courses students can take during the summer.

Career training Smith enrolled in the fire and EMS course his junior year and now, as a senior, is still in the program. “It’s a great program,” he said. In the fire and EMS course, Smith has gained firefight-

ing, first aid and medical knowledge. Smith said his class also includes spending time at various fire stations in the area for more hands-on experiences such as receiving bunker gear, performing drills and working in student “company” groups just as firefighters work in engine companies. Jack Greaves — who is the director of the fire and EMS program and runs First-In Training and Education, the nonprofit WANIC hired to run the courses — said students learn basic fundamentals of firefighting and first responder medical training and also learn to work together in teams. He said this gives them the opportunity to get comfortable with the duties they would be tasked with on the job. When asked if he would have participated in such a

program if it was available to him when he was in high school, Greaves — a Bothell firefighter — said he definitely would have signed up. Greaves added that a former fire chief he brought in to speak with students one day voiced his amazement that such a course is available to high school students. In addition to the technical and skills training they receive through WANIC, both Greaves and Smith said there are skills students learn that can be applied to any field. These include leadership and communication skills, accountability and punctuality. Smith added that the WANIC courses are character building and they give students the opportunity

While WANIC exposes students to possible career paths and offers an affordable option to set them on that path, the program may also have the opposite effect: Students may go through a course only to learn that they do not want to pursue a career in that particular field. “That’s a win,” Hay said, because it saves them time and money as they are not spending years paying for college courses they learn they do not enjoy. She said that lesson is just as important to learn as finding your passion. Smith agreed, saying it is definitely good to learn whether you are really interested in a field before spending thousands of dollars to attend college (or in his case a firefighting academy) only to learn you don’t like the subject matter. Fortunately for Smith, he has learned he really does enjoy firefighting.

So he began looking into the different options and programs available to him as a high school student. Initially, as a Running Start student, he planned to enter the fire science degree program at Bellevue College (BC). However, he said that following school year, BC closed the program.

In addition, he said students in any of the WANIC programs will appear as LWSD Skill Center student enrollment — one of the reasons the district had a higher-than-average spike in enrollment this school year, as previously reported. And because WANIC is part of public school districts, there is no cost to students. However, there may be course or lab fees for supplies and other costs, just as typical high school courses may require. Phelan added that if students find themselves unable to pay any required fees, WANIC will find the funds to help them. “Money should never hold a kid back (from enrolling in the program),” he said.

City of Bothell looks to sell more downtown property

Kenmore recognized by League of American Bicyclists The League of American Bicyclists has recognized the city of Kenmore as an “honorable mention” Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC). The four-year designation, received after careful review of the city’s application materials, is presented only to communities with strong commitments to bicycling. Kenmore is one of only 27 new communities across the country to receive an “honorable mention” award during this round of applicants and joins the list of

retail and office spaces, and a plot across SR 527 could be turned into a specialty grocery outlet. Many property sales

and development offers will be presented to the City Council beginning in December, Stowe said.

18 communities in Washington State to be recognized as a Bicycle Friendly Community. Washington is ranked as the No. 1 bicycle friendly state in the nation. Other Washington communities include Redmond, Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma, among others. In addition to the community’s recognition, Kenmore is home to Corpore Sano Physical Therapy/Bike PT, a recognized bicyclefriendly business. The city is actively involved in making changes that positively impact bicycle safety. Through our Target Zero Initiative, we have implemented various new projects and programs to help us reach our goal of zero bicycle or pedestrian fatalities or serious

injuries by 2025. Examples of improvements include widening the shoulder and adding cyclist markings along Juanita Drive and rechanneling 61st Avenue Northeast to one lane in each direction with a center left turn lane and shoulder bicycle lanes. “The city is proud to see our efforts in making Kenmore a more bicycle friendly community recognized by the League of American Bicyclists,” said Kenmore Mayor David Baker. “Kenmore is a wonderful community and we will continue to expand multimodal transportation to ensure Kenmore is a safe, family friendly community.” The BFC “honorable mention” is an important

step in obtaining bronze status and recognizes Kenmore’s commitment to improving conditions for bicycling through investment in bicycling promotion, education programs, infrastructure and engineering, and pro-bicycling policies. For more information on the city of Kenmore’s Target Zero Initiative, visit www.kenmorewa.gov/targetzero. The League of American Bicyclists, founded in 1880 to advocate for better roads for bicycling, represents 57 million cyclists in its mission to lead the movement to create a bicycle-friendly America for everyone.

BRIEFS NSD bond refinancing NSD seeking saves taxpayers $2.7 parents for PASS million committee The Northshore School District has refinanced its callable 2004 and 2005 bonds on Nov. 18 to take advantage of lower interest rates, which are projected to save taxpayers $2.7 million over the next three years. The savings flow directly to taxpayers through reduced tax levies and are not available for district expenses. “Refinancing existing debt to take advantage of lower interest rates reduces taxes for our community. We continually work with our financial team to seek opportunities like this to achieve taxpayer savings,” said Northshore School District Superintendent Larry Francois. The Northshore School Board accomplished these savings by approving the issuance of an amount not to exceed $43 million in refunding bonds at its meeting held on Oct. 13. The district has been actively monitoring bond market conditions, and recent low interest rates allowed the district to exceed its savings target. Interest rates averaged 0.87 percent on the new bonds compared to 5.115 percent on the old debt. Additional district financial information is available online at www. nsd.org/businessservices or by contacting Business Services at 425-408-7630.

Northshore School District Special Services Department is seeking parent applicants for the newly established Parent Advisory for Student Success (PASS) committee. Representation will include parents of students served by Special Education, English Language Learners (ELL) Services and Title 1/Learning Assistance Program (LAP). Participants on the PASS will develop an understanding of federal and state mandates associated with the various programs; provide parent perspective for the development of a unified systems approach; review and examine performance/monitoring data; explore ways to increase parent involvement; and assist with communications efforts. These voluntary positions will be selected by the Special Services Administrative Team and serve for two years. The PASS will meet once during the 201516 school year and three times during the 2016-17 school year. Applications are available at www.nsd. org or by calling 425408-7670 and are due to the Communications Office by Jan. 15.

ew condominiums could be on the way for Bothell along State Route 522 in a land sale between the city and Windward Real Estate. Block A has been marked as surplus property and slated to be sold as part of the ongoing downtown revitalization project. Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe said the nearly acre-sized property adjacent to Bothell Landing will be turned into 24 condominiums to meet the growing demand for housing in the city. “There’s a lot of interest for residential housing,” he said. A representative for Windward Real Estate said it’s too early to comment on specific plans, but said they are in talks with the city. The company is also looking into access points and soil conditions at the property.

If a deal is met, the city could sell the 38,500-square-foot plot for more than $27 per square foot, bringing in more than $1 million to continue funding for the downtown revitalization plan. The city has also sold, or is looking to sell, more than ten other plots for development around downtown, including the properties already sold and developed by Six Oaks and McMenamins. Three large plots near Pop Keeney Stadium could be sold to Main Street Property Group for residential, retail and office stores. Boulevard Place owns the old Safeway location along State Route 527 and could develop it into 285 senior housing units with office and retail space as well. Another plot, known as Block EFG on the northeast corner of SR 522 and SR 527, is slated to be developed into a drug store,

to purchase the property. Funding is secured through private investors and state and county grants, which must be paid back. Sears said while these funds are fluid, he believes there has been enough financial interest for Forterra to proceed, even though OneBothell is not privy to negotiations. Despite community concerns, Sears also thinks Freed will continue negotiations with Forterra. A joint statement, issued by Forterra and the potential development company from Nov. 23, states they are in a voluntary transaction negotiated in “good faith,” that Forterra was aware of the pre-application meetings and that external communications about the effort were “premature and inappropriate.” It also stated the time elapsed since the June agreement is “both normal and expected.” In a statement, city of Bothell representatives, who are not privy to the negotiations, said they hope “that Forterra is successful in their efforts” to buy the property. McNeal said the effort to raise property value before sale was worrisome. “I’m very disappointed, to say the least, at the approach (Freed is) taking with this,” he said. “As a man, as a Washingtonian, I don’t even understand it.” McNeal resigned his position as the president of OneBothell when he was elected to the city council on Nov. 3 to avoid a conflict of interest and said the idea of keeping Wayne as an open space has been in the city’s comprehensive plan for nearly two decades. “Is there really a reason to change that to allow additional building next to a habitat that you’re trying to preserve or restore,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense to me, I would not do that to

my community.” A phone call to Freed was not returned as of Monday afternoon, but Bothell Councilman Mark Lamb, who is a representative for the development company, directed inquiries to the joint statement. Negotiations have been occurring over the future of the Wayne Golf Course since the owner, Dave Richards, sent the city of Bothell a notice the golf course was up for sale in November of 2013. The Bothell City Council declined to make an offer on the property during an executive session and then a sale agreement was reached between the development company, with ties to Freed, and the Richards family. Aside from preserving open spaces for community use, many groups interested in the Wayne properties are concerned about the salmon habitat in the Sammamish River which runs along the back nine of the course. The river, and another stream which runs through the back nine, provide spawning grounds for the salmon, who are adversely affected by warming water temperatures, which Sears said development on the course would create. Preserving as much open space as possible in a quickly developing Bothell is what McNeal said he will be focused on during his term on council. “Not everything can be saved, but the point is you have to try,” he said. Bothell City Councilman Tom Agnew said he hopes the mayor sells the property to Forterra. “I just hope the mayor and his staff try to do the right thing for the citizens of Bothell. That’s all we can hope for,” he said. “They have an opportunity to do the right thing, and do something very significant for the city and the citizens.”

He got out with the leaders and ran strong the entire race. His finish earned him a spot on the podium and a trophy. Ledsham placed 38th overall in a time of 19:21.

Kenmore Community Club could undertake $20,000 remodel BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com

If approved by the King County Council, the Kenmore Community Club could receive a $10,000 grant from funds originally slated to pay off the Kingdome in Seattle. The Kenmore Community Club is one of more than 100 arts, heritage and cultural organizations in King County to receive a slice of the $28 million revenue pie. Club president David Evans said they already have plans for the funds. “It’s all about making the interior modern and at the same time restoring it to its original historical look,” Evans said. “We’re very excited.” Evans said the club will match the grant, for a total of $20,000, which they will use to renovate the interior. Exterior renovations at the

club were undertaken earlier this year. Kenmore Community Club was built in the 1930s, and Evans said that ever since it’s been open to area residents for weddings, dances, birthdays, religious and cultural events among a whole slew of additional gatherings centered around bringing the community together. “It has been used for exactly that purpose in an unbroken timeline for 90 years,” Evans said. “It’s really a wonderful cross-section of our area here in the Puget Sound.” The club is also a countydesignated landmark, which Evans said makes it easier for them to secure funding from sources such as the Kingdome funds grant. These funds came after the county paid off its Kingdome construction and mainte-

nance debts earlier this year, 15 years after the stadium was demolished. The Kingdome was funded through the county’s taxes on hotels and motels, which is around a couple cents per dollar spent on lodging. This funding was slated to continue paying off the debt through the end of 2015. Since repayment was completed early, the state designated the funds, which have accrued during the remainder of this year, to be turned over to 4Culture, a King County public development authority. “A lot of the reason it’s been paid off early is the overall economic boom in our area,” said 4Culture spokeswoman Christina DePaulo. Part of the boom, DePaulo said, has been from the Seahawks’ performance over the past few seasons, which

The Kenmore Community Club. AARON KUNKLER, Kenmore Reporter brings in fans from all across the region, but DePaulo said it wasn’t the main reason. “The overall story of the impact really is the constant increase in tourism and people staying in hotels in the King County region in the past couple years,” she said. 4Culture traces its roots back to 1956, when the county started the King County Arts Commission. Since then, its been through many different iterations, but it’s core focus remains

funding public arts, heritage and cultural sites and activities and preserving existing landmarks, among others. “We end up funding the majority of the arts and cultural projects in King County through a variety of ways,” DePaulo said. King County Councilman and Kenmore representative Rod Dembowski said that funding was almost turned down until he advocated for the club to receive the money. “There’s been a backlog

of projects that have not received funding for many years, so it’s an exciting opportunity,” he said. Also receiving funding is the Shoreline Historical Society with a $250,000 grant, and the Shoreline Veteran’s Memorial to the tune of $20,000. While the funds have not been approved yet, Dembowski said he thinks the council will approve it largely as-is. “My sense is the allocations as they exist today is primarily what you’ll see,” he said. Evans said the club is ready to continue serving the greater Seattle area. “People, they need to know that its mission is just community welfare, you don’t have to live in a particular place to be a member,” he said.

More importantly, Desilet said, is the faces he saw pass through his door day-in and day-out. “I have totally enjoyed the relationships we’ve built over

the years, and we just send out a heartfelt thank you to everyone for supporting us,” he said. Paul Richards Clothing will be open as they sell off their remaining stock, after which the Desilets will be closing shop and retiring. The business is located at 10127 Main Street, Bothell and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

UW Bothell marks 10th year of continuous growth The University of Washington Bothell marks its 10th year of continuous growth since it began admitting first year students in 2006. The university welcomed its largest firstyear class of all time for fall 2015-2016 with a 9 percent increase over the prior year, making it the fastest-growing public university in the state of Washington and among the top 10 fastestgrowing in the nation. It is also the largest of the five university branch campuses in the state. The university reports an overall headcount for 201516 of 5,279 students, also counted as 4,932 full-time equivalent students (FTE). This number compares to an FTE of 4,587 in the previous year, corresponding to an increase of 345 FTEs or 8 percent. “This is an exciting time at UW Bothell as we continue to bring talented students here and support them through programs that foster deep engaged learning inside and outside the classroom,” said UW Bothell Chancellor Wolf Yeigh. “The leading edge student engagement experienced through UW Bothell is a direct result

...obituaries Milton Harold Gilmore June 2, 1931 - November 17, 2015

Milton Harold Gilmore, age 84, passed away on November 17th, 2015 after a lengthy illness. He was born in Seattle, Washington to Harold and Margit Gilmore. Milton spent most of his life there and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1949. After graduating, he joined the United States Air Force and served in the 4750th Air Base Squadron. He then subsequently worked for Toledo Scales and Ecolab from which he retired after many years. In his retirement, Milton enjoyed traveling with his wife Frances to more temperate climates to escape the Seattle winters. He and his wife went to places such as Mexico, Hawaii and Palm Springs. In the summer months, they stayed at Lake Chelan, where he thoroughly enjoyed boating and water skiing. Milton was an avid fitness enthusiast and spent several days a week at the gym. He is survived by his wife Frances of 55 years, children Debra Zayac and Terri Gilmore, step-children Sue Munroe and Charles Divelbiss, sister Mary Lynn Farrar and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Milton will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends. A private memorial service will be held for the family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice. 1472382

Scholarship opportunity with NSF The Northshore Schools Foundation has announced its second annual scholarship for Northshore School District (NSD) Junior or Senior level students. One NSD junior or senior attending either the Secondary Academy of Success, Bothell, Inglemoor or Woodinville High Schools, who can best demonstrate how Foundation funded programs have made a meaningful impact on their life will receive a $1,500 scholarship. A selection committee of foundation volunteers will interview the top applicants. The scholarship winner will also be the featured speaker at the upcoming All in for Kids Luncheon to be held April 6 at the Lynnwood Convention center. The Northshore Schools Foundation has been awarding grants since 1996 impacting students individually on an average of eighteen times during their school career. The scholarship is an opportunity to showcase those students who have seen a positive impact on their life as a result of foundation funded programs or teacher training. “We have been tracking our impact on students,

MOD Pizza staff present representatives with the Northshore Schools Foundation with a check. CONTRIBUTED and what we see is truly a journey that students take with the foundation, throughout their school career,” said Northshore Schools Foundation Executive Director Carmin Dalziel. “Every student’s journey is different; however the diversity and district wide nature of Foundation funding insures that all students see the benefits. We are excited to hear the student perspective and how they feel the Foundation has supported them through their experience in the Northshore School District.” Applicants can download the scholarship application and determine what grants have affected their lives by visiting the Foundation website at www.NorthshoreSchoolsFoundation. org. Applications are due at 5 p.m. on Feb. 12, which is an extension from the original deadline. For more information e-mail schoolsfoundation@ nsd.org or call 425-4087680.

MOD Pizza gives back to community through the NSF MOD Pizza celebrated the grand opening of their Canyon Park location on Oct. 23 by donating 100 percent of pizza sales to the Northshore Schools Foundation to support individualized learning opportunities for all students. On Nov. 3, the MOD Pizza team presented the Foundation with a check for $4,422.88 to enhance learning opportunities for students and support the mission of the Foundation. The grand opening was

attended by more than 400 people who not only enjoyed great pizza but also enjoyed the free photo booth, giveaways and personalizing the location with stickers with their name. The first 52 people received free pizza. “This is what we hope will be the beginning of a lasting partnership – building a genuine connection between MOD and community members,” MOD representatives said in a statement. “We love providing MODsters with the opportunity to feel the emotional rush of that comes with giving back and it means that much more when it’s a cause they have chosen themselves. And the Goodness doesn’t stop there. Studies show that giving has countless benefit for the giver including gratitude –one of MOD’s most important values.” In a continuation of this giving back, MOD Pizza has also chosen Northshore Schools Foundation for their Spreading MODness campaign this year. The Spreading MODness campaign celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday and the company’s seventh birthday by donating $1 for every MOD Pizza purchased during Thanksgiving week, Nov. 24-29. On Black Friday, typically a day of spending, MOD is encouraging customers to give back and “add a buck” to their bill to double the donation and double the impact. “We have grown this business with the intention to impact as many lives as possible. To do this, we start with our MOD Squad and encourage them to

make a difference, both in our stores and within their communities. Our Squads are very motivated by this purpose beyond pizza, and the chance to ‘Spread MODness’ which we define as the ripple effect of simply doing the right thing,” said co-founder of MOD Pizza Ally Svenson. “We are proud to once again partner with such an inspiring group of local organizations to not only support their amazing efforts, but to promote generosity – one of MOD’s core values.” MOD Pizza is located at 22833 Bothell Everett High Way in Bothell. To find out more about the Spreading MODness campaign, visit https:// www.facebook.com/ events/1507209302906145/. To find out more about the Northshore Schools Foundation, visit www.
