Starbucks, Schultz Foundation, Microsoft donate major funds to combat homelessness in King County
Mary’s Place, which runs the annual No Child Sleeps Outside campaign, is a 17-year-old emergency shelter organization with six locations throughout King county that operates primarily with private funding.
Mary’s Place provides emergency shelter to nearly 40 percent of families experiencing homelessness across King County – serving 115-120 families per night, and 400 families throughout the year. (See previous story)
However, 20 families a day are still turned away because there is not enough capacity at these shelters.
Together with other businesses, they are joining an unprecedented effort to mobilize the community, and contributing over $3 million to provide safe emergency shelter for the estimated 500 unsheltered families in King County including hundreds of children.
The campaign also has the support of companies like Microsoft Corp., Dick’s Drive-In, Comcast, Alaska Airlines, Weyerhaeuser, Expedia, Nordstrom, Bank of America, Key Bank Foundation, Group Health, Seattle Mariners, as well as the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Seattle Association which together represent thousands of Seattle businesses.
Following a 20 percent jump in the homeless count last year, families with young children are waiting months for emergency shelter, leaving many sleeping on the streets, in cars and parks across the community.
Following a 20 percent jump in the homeless count last year, families with young children are waiting months for emergency shelter, leaving many sleeping on the streets, in cars and parks across the community.
This move by The Starbucks Foundation, Schultz Family Foundation, Microsoft, and others supports an immediate expansion of Mary’s Place, and responds to the critical, short-term need to bring unsheltered families inside.
“The 500 families with small children who are sleeping outside in King County cannot wait for the promised reforms and housing that will take a year or more,” said Howard Schultz, chairman and chief executive officer of Starbucks and co-founder of the Schultz Family Foundation.
“We need to treat this daily tragedy with the same urgency that would follow any natural disaster. This is a short-term but urgent humanitarian need, and we are proud to join other Seattle employers in the No Child Sleeps Outside campaign.”
Starbucks Foundation to match customer donations in more than 200 King County Stores in December
“No child should have to sleep outside at night. We must come together as a community to address this vital need as a local imperative,” said Brad Smith, Microsoft president.
“We are pledging $1 million, including $250,000 to Mary’s Place, to address homelessness across King County. We will support partners throughout the area to pursue both short- and long-term systemic solutions, including permanent housing.”
Starbucks Foundation to match customer donations in more than 200 King County Stores in December
In addition to a $1 million financial contribution to the No Child Sleeps Outside campaign, The Starbucks Foundation will match every dollar donated by customers in participating King County Starbucks® stores between December 1st and 31st, up to an additional $1 million dollars to help shelter local families.
The Starbucks Foundation will also allocate an additional $250,000 to other local nonprofits including the United Way, YWCA, and Youth Care that connect homeless families and youth to job placement programs, and other critical services.
Howard and Sheri Schultz, co-founders of the Schultz Family Foundation, are also personally contributing $1 million to Mary’s Place through the Schultz Family Foundation to expand both shelter capacity and the organization’s ability to move families into permanent housing. In addition, the Schultz Family Foundation will continue to support other Seattle homelessness organizations to reduce the number of unsheltered youth and young adults.

Hue - Chamber Chorale and Shoreline Singers concert Thursday
Shoreline Community College choral director Evan Norberg has this to say about the concert:
The program you are about to watch is one of deep thought and emotion. At times easy and accessible, at others difficult to grasp and fleeting.
It is my hope that you will be able to find something in every song that catches your breath, stirs an emotion, or plays with your soul.
The idea of hue came out of the many moments we had as an ensemble grappling with the lyrics. Toying with color in our voices, discovering new ways to ramp up intensity in big moments, and on the flip side still bring excitement in the soft hushed passages.
Mainly, every piece has had a place in history, set many times in different ways. Every composer sees a different story, a different interpretation, or different lyric that rings true to their soul, and thus out of that, a different direction.
Think of it as different branches of the same tree, made of the same material, but winding and bending in different ways to support life.
Please sit back, relax, and let the students bring you on a lyric journey of joy, contemplation, focus, as well as poignant, timely story.

RBCC Players present World War II Radio Christmas
This moving holiday show recreates the experience of attending a recording of a 1940s radio show broadcast on Christmas Eve during World War II.
Using period songs and stories inspired by actual veterans, World War II Radio Christmas transports the audience to another time. An inspiring look at strength in the face of hardship, this play is a reminder of the importance of coming together for the holidays.
The author, Pat Kruis Tellinghusen, is a graduate of Watson Groen Christian School (now Shoreline Christian High School). She currently lives in Central Oregon.
She drew on her skills as a news reporter to interview people and research news reports and advertising of the day. She based vignettes in World War II Radio Christmas on the experiences of people who lived through the war years.

Reader's question about the proposed school construction bond
Reader Glenn C. sent in a question about the school district bond which will be on the February ballot.
Marla Miller, Deputy Superintendent of Shoreline Public Schools, responds.
I’m not sure what tax statement the reader is reviewing, but the school district tax information isn’t correct. The school district doesn’t collect taxes at $11 per $1000 now, but if it were that rate and we did go to $5 per $1000, that would actually be a reduction.
The 2016 TOTAL SCHOOL DISTRICT tax is $4.28847 per $1,000 of property value, not $11.00 per $1000.
The $4.28847 includes the General Fund levy, the Technology levy, and payments for previously-issued bonds.
If the 2017 bond proposal passes, we estimate the TOTAL tax rate, including the new bonds, will peak at $5.30 per $1,000 between 2020 and 2025, and be lower both before and after that period of time.
The proposed tax says about $5 per assessed $1000. This year's total taxes were about $11 per $1000. If this is correct, the bond would increase our taxes by about 50%. That is $2000 on a $400,000 assessed value. Please explain.

Tim's Community Sharing Tree is back again in the lower level of the Lake Forest Park Town Center, intersection of Bothell and Ballinger Way.
From now until December 22 shoppers can pick up information (gender and age) about a child in our area who could use a lift at Christmas.
You buy a gift, drop it off unwrapped at the tree, and we get it delivered, through the Shoreline School District, Hopelink and the North Helpline.
Last year the Sharing Tree provided holiday gifts to over 500 children.
The Sharing Tree has been a service project of the LFP Rotary Club for the past 22 years, and has become a holiday tradition for many local residents.
This year the Tree is being managed by a Boy Scout from Troop 309, Matt, who is doing this service as his Eagle Scout project requirement. The name of the project honors Tim Davis, a former LFP Rotarian who started it.
Rotary Club members will staff the Tree everyday between 11:00am and 8:00pm, through December 22, to help you pick a child to shop for and to provide gift ideas.

Sandi Staples
As a Seattle native, I've grown up with a love of the beauty and color that surrounds us here. I have always been compelled to create, and over the years I have enjoyed working in many mediums, from photography to decoupage. Discovering the art of glass mosaic work feels like an amalgamation of the best characteristics of everything I've worked with - it allows me to incorporate color, grace, geometry, flow, and imagination into what I create.
I try to see the beauty and possibility in everyday things. Inspiration can come from a bookmark or a flower, a mandala or an architectural detail. Creation is the product of love; I hope you enjoy the work as much as I did making it.

Xfinity X1 platform down for the evening
By Diane Hettrick
If you are an X1 customer from Xfinity / Comcast, you probably weren't watching The Voice Monday evening.
Because of an unspecified national problem with the X1 platform, the entire Seattle / Tacoma service area had extremely limited services from about 9pm.
At our house, we had Channel 4 ABC - and that was it. Whatever channel you were on when the outage occurred was where you stayed.
Reportedly, the engineers are working on the system pole by pole and node by node. They think they will be back online by midnight.
Telephones and internet may have been affected in some areas.

World Concern doubles goat gifts on #GivingTuesday
 |
| Khuki with her goat |
Shoreline's World Concern is doubling all gifts given through the Global Gift Guide on Tuesday.
That means when you give a goat to someone living in extreme poverty, two goats will be given!
You’ll double your impact and help twice as many people in need, thanks to special matching grants.
Can the gift of a goat really change someone’s life?
Can the gift of a goat really change someone’s life?
Khuki, a young mother of three living in Bangladesh, is living proof that it can.
Like many women in Bangladesh, Khuki was married at just 15. Her husband abused her and left her for another woman when she was pregnant with her third child. She was desperate enough to go door to door begging for help.
That’s when Khuki was introduced to World Concern, and received a goat that changed her life. She began selling the milk, and earned enough to buy several more goats. She now has a steady income to feed her children and even send them to school.
That’s when Khuki was introduced to World Concern, and received a goat that changed her life. She began selling the milk, and earned enough to buy several more goats. She now has a steady income to feed her children and even send them to school.
“The support has opened new doors for me and my family,” said Khuki, who was recently able to build a small house for herself and her children—something she never thought possible.
And to think it all started with a goat!
Now through midnight Tuesday, November 29, your gift will multiply when you give a goat to someone like Khuki — changing not one life but two this #GivingTuesday!

Unified Robotics Championship at Pacific Science Center
Helping Bridge the Opportunity Gap for High School Students
Collaborate. Build. Compete. Students with special needs have the opportunity of a lifetime with Special Olympics Unified Robotics. This “sport for the mind” is spreading like wildfire across Washington state and beyond; fifteen high schools competing in its inaugural season.
The opportunity gap for high school students with special needs is staggering. The unemployment rate for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities is twice as high as for the general population, according to a nationwide study by Special Olympics.
Unified Robotics provides hands-on learning experience and prepares students for future careers in STEM fields. The program is adaptable for students of all levels of learning; diversity is embraced in Unified Robotics.
Pacific Science Center is hosting the Unified Robotics Championship, open to the public, on December 3, 2016 from 10am – 4pm.
Pacific Science Center is hosting the Unified Robotics Championship, open to the public, on December 3, 2016 from 10am – 4pm.
Over 32 teams will compete and present their unique robot designs while encouraging others through team spirit activities.
Featured speakers, Will Daugherty (Pacific Science Center CEO) and Dave Lenox (Special Olympics Washington CEO) will welcome guests before the competition. Senator Joe Fain and Dr. Gary Stobbe (Director of UW Adult Autism Clinic) are among other VIP event judges.
Unified Robotics was founded last year by then King’s High School senior, Delaney Foster, an active advocate for inclusive education. Foster, whose sister is diagnosed with ASD, has seen firsthand the opportunity gap that exists in high schools. Students with ASD and/or intellectual disabilities are often excluded from extracurricular activities, and even elective classes, because of lack of accommodations or ability to provide modifications.

Hügelkultur comes to Calvin
 |
| Hügelkultur bed |
By Londa Jacques, Diggin’ Shoreline
A hügel-what-er you may be asking? Hügelkultur is a German word, meaning “hill culture”, and one of the latest trends in sustainable farming and gardening sweeping the United States.
Jarret Griesemer, Project Coordinator from King Conservation District’s Urban Agriculture program approached Becki Koukal-liebe of Diggin’ Shoreline seeking a space in town to do a Hügelkultur installation. An ideal site for the installation was found at Calvin Presbyterian Community Garden.
Becki and Jarret explained the project to Dan Coppin and the church properties committee, who gave it their blessing. With the church on board, KCD put the word out for volunteers, and so did Diggin’.
On November 12, despite the wet and windy weather, 19 volunteers from as far away as Redmond and Renton, Diggin’ followers, and folks from Hillwood neighborhood participated.
Some were experienced hügel installers, while others came to work and learn. At 9:30am ceremonial groundbreaking pics were snapped, and by 12:30pm the project was done and tools put away! We accomplished in less than 3 hours, what was expected to take 6 — the completion of a 5-foot wide by 18-foot long by more than 3-foot tall planting hill.
Actually, the practice of Hügelkultur has been around for several hundred years. This method involves digging and removing the top one-foot of soil and sod, and layering of organic materials —rotting wood, branches, twigs, straw, compost, green manure, removed soil/sod, compost, and topsoil. Most of the ingredients needed to build such a bed are things that gardeners prune, chop, rake or toss in compost piles and yard waste bins on a regular basis.
Hügelkultur has several amazing advantages over traditional raised bed gardening. Think of it as a time-lapse version of the hundreds-year-old soil creation process that takes place on the forest floor. With decomposition accelerated, nutrients are released more quickly, and moisture is retained. The practice is ideal for restoring contaminated, depleted, and compacted urban soils.
If you stop by the Calvin garden (corner of N 185th and Richmond Beach Road) now, you’ll simply see a high mound covered by burlap bags. In a few weeks, the hill will lose one-third of its height, the bags will be gone and planting will begin — perennials on top, annuals at the base. The bed will be used to raise food bank crops, and many more plants can be grown on the mound’s surface than on its flat footprint.
But underneath is where the real magic is happening. The interwoven logs and branches are already retaining water (so much so that after a year very little, if any, water will be needed to maintain the bed), and the pile is heating up with the composting taking place. Soon there will be rapid growth of mycorrhizae and release of micronutrients. Plantings above will be fed as their roots reach deep into the loose, dark, crumbly soil that was once root-stunting, compacted clay.
Roots grew deeper in our community, too. Many thanks to the volunteers from KCD, Diggin’, Calvin, and Hillwood neighborhood who planned and approved the garden, hauled materials, performed the labor, fed the volunteers and cheered them on. Together we proved, once again, that many hands DO make light work!

Review: Mr. Scrooge - it’s a Dickens of musical comedy experience
Mr. Scrooge
By Richard Morris,
Dolores Claman, Ted Wood
Directed by Kylie McKenzie Soder
Music Direction by Mark Press
Edmonds Driftwood Players
November 25 – December 18, 2016
It’s a Dickens of musical comedy experience.
Edmonds Driftwood Players is celebrating 58 years of providing high quality live theatre to our community. For the opening of the Christmas season, it is presenting this light-hearted version of the familiar Christmas tale, Mr. Scrooge.
The audience will enjoy cast members singing and dancing as a special treatment of the story of the awakening of Ebenezer Scrooge. There is wonderful costuming and set design, which reflect the sensation of “Steampunk.” Artistic elements blend with industrial items to create a new perspective on reality.
Imagine, for instance, a steam powered wristwatch, with a train whistle alarm. Could it be in this production? You will enjoy spotting those Steampunk features, which do make an appearance. Add your own Steampunk ideas / inventions, also.
 |
| The cast poses in front of the magical clock Photo courtesy Driftwood Players |
The entire cast gives a wonderful portrayal of Ebenezer’s time travel experiences, from his present, into his past, and into his future. The magical background clock is appropriately his means of transportation.
Scrooge learns about himself as he visits his alternative possibilities. He may not be able to change the past, but he can work in the present to create a better future.
Scrooge takes actions to make a better life for himself and those around him. The most prominent of those who benefit from the new Mr. Scrooge is Bob Cratchit and his family, including the crippled boy, Tiny Tim.
 |
| Tiny Tim is inspired to say, “God Bless Us, Every One.” Photo courtesy Driftwood Players |
From a life of loneliness, Ebenezer Scrooge has found happiness and caring from the Cratchit family. Relationships make the difference.
Be sure to attend a performance of Mr. Scrooge. The whole family will enjoy this special Christmas Holiday treat.
