This is my annual “dog days of summer” column, although I am not quite sure when summer will actually arrive weather-wise. I have been collecting notes about “my three sons,” about perhaps the best scholarship to be received this year and news of what’s in store for the Bothell High class of 1961 at its 50th reunion. Here goes:

Touring Nardoland

Ron Nardone, the self-appointed mayor of unincorporated Maltby, has invited his Bothell High classmates of 1961 to “Nardoland” to celebrate their 50th class reunion. They will gather Aug. 19 on the first day of a three-day celebration presented by the Bothell High Alumni Association. Alumni weekend will culminate with a picnic and car show for all alums from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 21 at Bothell’s Blyth Park.

By John B. Hughes • June 29, 2011 10:43 am

When asked to highlight the life of the late Jeanne Edwards, the description of “ultimate civic volunteer” was my first and lasting thought.

I recall a life that spanned Campfire leadership all the way through a remarkable public life that included a number of years representing her community in the state Legislature. She was a champion for children, her community and her family.

The Northshore Scholarship Foundation will award 79 scholarships this month with two of them at the record-breaking value of $7,500.

The recipients are Heidi Schauble and Mea Pen, both students at University of Washington, Bothell next fall, and who are graduates of the Secondary Academy for Success (SAS) and Woodinville High, respectively.

Eric Greenwood, foundation vice president, noted that the scholarships are renewable and are named “Make a Difference” grants intended to help students enter or continue in college whose financial circumstances might otherwise have precluded their pursuing higher education. Eric is also the chair for Literacy, Education and Scholarships for Woodinville Rotary Club, which funds both grants from proceeds of the club’s annual fall community auction.

State Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe of Bothell is at it again — throwing open historic Hollywood Schoolhouse for a worthy “FUNraiser” — this time for the nonprofit locally based TEAM Center of Washington.

The event is part of a series of “Women, Wine and Business” projects to be held from 5- 9 p.m. April 28 at the schoolhouse. It has a theme of “Spring into the Arts” and costs $20 per person.

This is graduation month for Northshore high schools and the only safe prediction about the Class of 2010 at Bothell, Inglemoor, Woodinville and Secondary Academy for Success (SAS) is that they are going to get an overload of advice this month.

John Devine of Bothell is thoroughly convinced that tried-and-true techniques of “coaching” can help special-needs children develop sufficient technology skills that could earn them a future role in the workplace. Seven years of one-on-one volunteer mentoring of early elementary-age school children, including his grandson, have shaped this concept.
