Memorial Day, May 31, 2021

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
The holiday's exact origins are uncertain, but it came out of Civil War traditions of decorating the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers. Many cities and individuals claimed to have been the first to celebrate the event.
In 1868, General John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic called for a "Decoration Day," which was widely celebrated. By 1890, every Northern state had adopted it as a holiday.
The World Wars turned it into a generalized day of remembrance, instead of just for the Civil War. In 1971, Congress standardized the holiday as "Memorial Day" and changed its observance.

Shoreline Police: Speed bumps are a challenge on a good day. But when you're seriously impaired, well....
Arriving deputies found a silver SUV partially up on the curb.
The vehicle was still running and a male was passed out in the driver's seat.
Unfortunately, he had vomited all over himself.
Deputies slowly opened the vehicle door, which woke the driver immediately.
The driver was safely taken out of the car and detained, and then promptly got sick again.
The driver could not stand on his own and smelled of alcohol.
The driver was taken to the local precinct for a breath analysis.
Unfortunately, he had vomited all over himself.
Deputies slowly opened the vehicle door, which woke the driver immediately.
He shifted his vehicle into drive, rolling into a deputy's patrol car.
The driver could not stand on his own and smelled of alcohol.
When asked if he needed an aid car, the driver declined any medical attention.
Deputies checked the driver's SUV and found red paint transfer on his vehicle.
Deputies checked the driver's SUV and found red paint transfer on his vehicle.
They eventually located a red Honda Civic nearby that, it appears, was sideswiped by the suspect vehicle.
However, due to his inebriated state, he was unable to stay awake long enough to perform the test.
Once deputies obtained a blood warrant, the fire department was called to the precinct to take the driver's blood samples.
Charges are pending while we await toxicology results from the Washington State Patrol lab.

Creating Safe Neighborhoods #Stop Asian Hate presentation Thursday with Jolene Jang
Creating safe neighborhoods and “#Stop Asian Hate“ will be presented by Jolene Jang on Thursday, June 3, 2021 from 5:30 to 6:30pm.
Link: http://evite.me/WmqAKMaZWt
Hate crimes against Asians have escalated, and Jolene wants to help change this trend. Please join her in this timely information session.
Most people won’t see these hate crimes against Asians because they’re not the target, and Asians “don’t want to burden you, it’s not in our culture to do that,” said Jolene.
The following topics will be discussed:
The following topics will be discussed:
- Define the dangers for Asians in your neighborhood.
- Learn the impact on Asians.
- Why it is important for people to be pro-active and speak-up before bad things happen.
- Why crimes against Asians are not reported in the news.
- Why this topic is not talked about.
- How you can make a big difference in other people’s lives with little effort.

From the Lake Forest Park Tree Board
In Lake Forest Park, we love our trees and our forest canopy — the “roof” of leaves made by all our trees. We love them so much we have laws to protect them, and we honor them on Arbor Day. They are important because they clean our air, give birds and bugs places to live, and cool off our Earth.
Kids and animals grow up and stop getting bigger, but did you know that trees keep growing their whole lives? A “champion tree” is the biggest tree of its kind. There is a list of champion trees for our whole country, and a list of champion trees in our state. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a list of champion trees in our city, too?

We want this list to be started by KIDS and TEENS! To kick off this project, the volunteer Lake Forest Park Tree Board is holding a contest to see who can find the biggest examples of five common trees in our city.
There will be multiple winners in each age category (12 and under and 13-17) who will each receive a GIFT CARD for SWIRL FROZEN YOGURT!
If you live or go to school in Lake Forest Park you can enter! Hunt for big trees in your yard, your neighborhood, at a park or your school — anywhere in Lake Forest Park.

While they couldn’t perform an in-person musical this spring, Shorecrest Drama took “pandemic projects” to another level by producing an original musical comedy series, More Than a Feeling.
Written by Shorecrest Theater Director Andy Kidd and his musical collaborator Chris DiStefano, students took on much of the series’ filming and editing.
The story was told in seven episodes, released one day at a time. Here's the trailer.

Applicants will need to sign up online to schedule an appointment. Information about how to sign up will be available soon on the City’s Passport Services webpage.

Information about any changes to this will be widely distributed to the public when the time comes.

Information about any changes to this will be widely distributed to the public when the time comes.
Due to the small size of the Council Chambers, staff is working on the logistics of socially distanced seating for a seven-member City Council and nine-member Planning Commission, as well as a limited number of chairs for audience members. It is probable that a hybrid approach to public meetings will be the norm in the future, with limited in-person public attendance and wider public participation via Zoom.
While City Hall was closed, many COVID-19-related improvements were put in place to protect employees and visitors:

Scene on the Sound: Articulated tug
 |
| Photo by Jan Hansen |
Jan Hansen captured this tug and barge sailing by Shoreline last week.
John Crawford identified it as an articulated tug barge (ATB). ATBs consist of a tank vessel (barge) and a large, powerful tug that is positioned in a notch in the stern of the barge, which enables the tug to propel and maneuver the barge.
And, he says, it could be a Crowley ATB as they operate on the West Coast.

Shoreline Police: Airbags save lives after accident at NE 150th and 15th NE
 |
| Collision on 15th NE at NE 150th |
If you judge simply by looking at these pictures, you'd think this May 21, 2021 crash in Shoreline would have resulted in very serious injuries.
Thankfully, that was not the case. Why? Airbags save lives. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that, as of 2017, more-than 50,000 lives have been saved by frontal airbags.
King County deputies responded to the intersection of NE 150th St and 15th Ave NE, just after 12:30pm, to investigate this crash. One motorist was transported to NW Hospital as a precaution.
One driver was cited in this case but both, thanks to airbags, will go home.
We must always buckle-up. When used together, seatbelts and frontal airbags reduce fatalities by 61%.
--King County Sheriff's Office
Shorewood wrestling match 5-28-21 vs Cascade answers the question of Why wrestle in a shortened pandemic season?
When the 2021 wrestling season finally began in early May people asked “Why”?
Why wrestle if the season is only 5 weeks long? Why wrestle if you have to get Covid tested twice a week?
Why wrestle if there were no district, regional, or state tournaments?
Why wrestle if there would be no titles to win? Why wrestle?
The young men from Shorewood and Cascade high schools answered those questions and so much more in an entertaining, electric, and dramatic match on Friday night, May 28, 2021.
The contest began at 132 pounds with team captain Quincy Laflin the first Thunderbird to step on the mat. Laflin gave up the first takedown and quickly found himself locked up in a cradle. After fighting off his back he was able to get back to his feet and escape. Laflin didn’t let his second chance go to waste, scoring a takedown of his own and turning his opponent for a pin to give Shorewood the early 6-0 lead.
The two teams traded pins at 138 and 145 pounds before Shorewood's sophomore Joseph Rivera went out at 152 pounds. After giving up the first takedown Rivera was able to rally to grab a 3-2 at the end of the first period.
In the second round it was move after move, effort after effort, counter after counter as Rivera clung to a narrow 5-4 lead. In the third period the two wrestlers began on their feet and Rivera paused for just an instant, letting this guard down for just a moment and getting thrown straight to his back. After over a minute of fighting to stay alive Cascade finally solved the puzzle for a pin with just 23 seconds left in regulation.
Cascade built on their huge win at 152 pounds to take the next two weights and build a 24-12 lead. RJ Buchheit returned to the line-up for the Thunderbirds at 182 pounds after missing the last two matches and did not disappoint. After jumping out to a 6-2 lead in the first period, Buchheit turned his opponent early in the second period for a momentum killing pin.
Shorewood’s Hunter Tibodeau picked up a pin of his own at 195 pounds to tie the team score at 24-24 with just three bouts to go.
At 220 pounds Cascade’s Sam Kolesar put Shorewood’s Max Null on the defensive the entire match before finally getting a pin with only 3 seconds left in the third period that brought the entire gym to their feet.
T-bird heavyweight Milan Johnson fell behind 4-1 in his match before reversing his opponent for the pin as the two teams, each brimming with excitement, found themselves tied 30-30 with just one match remaining.
The final bout of the night featured Shorewood’s Clayton Elder against Cascade’s Kevin Jacks. Elder fell behind in the opening seconds, but fought back to put Jacks onto his back. With his shoulders just millimeters from defeat Jacks was saved by the buzzer at end of the first period. Elder built his lead up to 9-5 in the second period before being caught with a reversal to his back.
There was no salvation this time though as Jacks was able to get the pin with just one second remaining in the period to give Cascade a dramatic 36-30 victory.
So if anyone still wonders why we are wrestling this year, here is the answer. We wrestle for the nights like Friday. The joy of victories and the lessons learned in defeat. We wrestle for the competition and the camaraderie, the intensity and the passion. In this year of uncertainty we are grateful to wrestle. We wrestle. We wrestle because we can.
Shorewood wrestles next on Thursday, June 3rd, at Shorecrest High School. Wrestling begins at 7pm.

Wisteria at Gateway Plaza in Shoreline
 |
| Photo by Cynthia Sheridan |
Bearing clusters of fragrant flowers in spring, this glorious vine is very popular in the Seattle area, despite its reputation as an extremely vigorous grower.
Wisteria can grow out of control without careful maintenance; it requires sun and a strong supportive structure. The American and Kentucky varieties are most durable in frosty climates.
Warning: fertilizer not recommended ( if you want to save your other structures!!!)
This lovely arbor is in front of the U.S. Post Office retail store in Gateway Plaza at 185th and Aurora (Midvale) in Shoreline.

Shoreline Planning Commission to consider "mobility hubs"
The Shoreline Planning Commission will study the concept of mobility hubs at its meeting on Thursday, June 3, 2021, 7 - 10pm online.
To maximize the use of the upcoming light rail and to support in car-light and car-free lifestyles, the City is interested in creating “mobility hubs'' in strategic locations across Shoreline.
The City is particularly interested in how these hubs can be integrated into rezoned mixed-use development surrounding the new light rail stations and connect residents to neighborhood-based commercial services.
The City is also interested in better understanding the range of features and services offered at mobility hubs and how these might differ given community needs and the surrounding environment.

Origins: True Tales of the Immigrant Experience
Shoreline Community College is hosting a live streaming production with performances written, performed, and directed by some of Shoreline Community College students.
The show will be held on June 11 and 12, 2021 at 7:30pm on Shoreline’s Ray Howard Library's YouTube channel. This is free and open to the public.
Origins is a collection of performances based on the students’ experiences or members in their community about traveling to the United States. This production was inspired by the book and documentary, Papers: Stories of Undocumented Youth, where people between the ages 10 and 19 share their experiences coming to and living in America.

They were nominated by Shoreline Schools Superintendent Rebecca Miner, who also delivered the award plaques to the recipients in person this week.
“Since our schools were forced to close on March 12, 2020, the City of Shoreline, City of Lake Forest Park and the Dale Turner Family YMCA engaged in offering a system of support and child care for families and students in our district,” said Superintendent Miner.

Recognizing that child care was the most immediate and pressing need many families were faced with, the three organizations quickly mobilized their resources and staffing to begin offering child care and remote learning camps, and offering scholarships and funding so that those programs would be offered for free to families in of that support.
“We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding efforts of the Cities and YMCA during this very challenging year,” said Superintendent Miner.
