Eliminating help for seniors is a travesty
Eliminating help for seniors is a travesty
April 21, 2009 1:43 pm

The pending decision by the legislature to axe the state’s Adult Day Health (ADH) program is going to cause tremendous harm to thousands of seriously ill seniors and disabled people across Washington state. And it will all but end this innovative approach to efficient, community-based care for a very vulnerable population, costing more than 500 jobs in the process.

Violence hits  home — in Hollywood and Bothell
Violence hits home — in Hollywood and Bothell
By Shannon West • April 7, 2009 11:48 am

It’s tempting to dismiss the violence occurring in our community. It’s far easier to imagine such pain living in another neighborhood. In recent days, the topic of domestic violence reemerged as celebrity Chris Brown was charged with the assault of pop star and girlfriend Rihanna. As headlines ran, we remembered O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown and we are again reminded abuse and violence in intimate relationships dwell in every corner of the world without prejudice — in Hollywood and at home in Bothell.

March 30, 2009 10:36 pm

As I drive by the umpteen coffee huts along Bothell Way, I must say, I’m absolutely disgusted that the “bikini barista” has hit our town. I’ve always been appalled by the young ladies in Kenmore that don’t seem to mind displaying themselves for folks to gawk at, and now that it’s moved into my town, I’m very disappointed and outraged. Save the bikinis for the beach, the night clubs or the bedroom, ladies!

The darn economy has students worried
The darn economy has students worried
By Elsa Watland • March 17, 2009 2:27 am

Last week, my family and I went out to dinner. A normal family activity you might think, but not this time. Last week was the first time in months that we had gone out to eat. What used to be a weekly ritual, turned into a rare occurrence after the market took a dramatic turn last October. My family is pretty plugged into the business world, so I am used to lectures and family discussions about bad loans and the dismal housing market.

Getting thin can be a dangerous thing
Getting thin can be a dangerous thing
By Shannon West • March 17, 2009 2:26 am

In our culture, we are consistently surrounded by images of what it means to be beautiful, desired, accepted. Images conveyed through our media and displayed within our community speak to the value of appearance most notably depicted by the physical body. Regardless of whether we personally value the ideal or should ascribe to its belief, the message of our culture is clear — to be regarded as beautiful, one must be thin.

March 17, 2009 2:26 am

Imagine a different kind of commute — sipping coffee on a boat as you glide over Lake Washington and watch the day break over Mount Rainier; stepping off a dock and onto a bus that sweeps you off to your final destination in a matter of minutes. Now, contrast that to your current battle through bumper-to-bumper traffic as you inch your way along miles of pavement. It is time to make water-taxi service across Lake Washington a viable way to travel.

Circus trainer? Maybe in another lifetime
By Ilena Adamson • March 9, 2009 9:44 pm

I can honestly tell you that my future is in full swing. I can’t remember the last day my mom hadn’t asked me about college, when teachers forgot to assign homework to “make us better” or when the word career was just a six-letter word. That’s hardly true anymore. My mom is constantly badgering me about colleges I should attend and majors I should consider. As for teachers, they are assigning as much grueling homework as ever. And, in my vocabulary, the word career is a life-altering six-letter word.

March 3, 2009 1:38 am

In November 2008, we submitted an article to the Kenmore Reporter titled “Delving into the excessive costs of a new Kenmore city hall.” The article examined the building process and its funding. Since then, circumstances have changed in the building industry with an impact on the Kenmore city-hall project. The ensuing delay allowed the City Council to place the project into an open bidding process, even though it is in conflict with the existing contract. The escalating economic crisis provided a highly competitive environment resulting in about $5 million cost reduction. This came about due to a deteriorating economy and not by any individual or group decision. The result is a positive benefit for the citizens of Kenmore.
