Children's Advocate Joe Cunningham running for Shoreline School Board
 |
| 20 year education and disability advocate Joe Cunningham is running for school board |
Local children’s advocate Joe Cunningham is running for an open seat on the Shoreline School Board, after years of successfully leading advocacy efforts passing legislation and serving as a statewide leader of Arc of King County, (a longtime national organization for intellectual and developmental disabilities) and holding many leadership positions with the Children’s Campaign Fund.
Joe has filed for the open seat (Position 5) created by Dick Potter leaving the Board after his term ends this November.
“I’m a 20-year resident of the Briarcrest neighborhood in Shoreline, and my involvement in education and the community runs deep. My father was a School Superintendent, Coach, Special Education teacher, and Federal Teachers Union President and my Mom taught music in schools as I spent a fourth of my childhood being raised on Native American reservations and Central America. I am raising my two children in Shoreline, and they are and have all attended Shoreline Public Schools,” Joe said.
“As a parent of a child who experiences a developmental disability, I have professional and personal expertise in special education, which is especially important now as the Legislature has just passed a history-making $25.2 million to address our special education needs which have frustrated parents for such a long time,” Joe said.
He’s networked with Dads across the state as a member of Washington State Fathers Network, as well as Member of Governor’s Committee on Employment and Disabilities. “
As a Shoreline School Director, Joe said he will work with school staff to make sure all students achieve at the highest levels.
As a Shoreline School Director, Joe said he will work with school staff to make sure all students achieve at the highest levels.
“I will work to steward voter passed resources for our schools – ensuring funds directed to ensuring recruiting and maintaining quality teachers, including hiring more teachers of color, and ensuring that maximum dollars raised for schools go toward educating students,” he said.
With a background in equity and social justice policies, Joe will work to ensure Shoreline schools are using principles of equity in all policy decisions. He is committed to serve as a bridge with teachers, parents and administrators to work collaboratively to strengthen “our extraordinary Shoreline Public Schools.”

Echo Lake is one of the lakes that is stocked with fish annually. Fishermen are regularly seen at the lake.
There is also a tree that is an annual nesting site for cormorants. They appreciate the state for stocking the lake.
If you can get there before the cormorants do, there is a trout fishing derby going on until October 31, 2019 in participating derby lakes.
The 2019 Statewide Trout Fishing Derby
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is pleased to announce the 4th Annual Statewide Trout Fishing Derby which kicks off on April 27 and runs through October 31, 2019.
The derby is open to anyone with a valid Washington fishing license; youth age 14 and younger do not need a license. There is no registration or entry fee required.
Over 1,000 rainbow trout will be tagged and put into more than 100 lakes statewide, so you won't have to travel far to take part in the fun. Any angler who catches a derby tagged fish will win a prize -- It's that simple!
How to catch fish and win a prize:
1. Buy your fishing license, and go fishing at a participating derby lake - like Echo Lake
2. Catch a rainbow trout that has a blue tag
3. Call the phone number listed on the tag to find out what you've won and where to claim your prize
4. Snap a photo of your winning fish or prize and use #watroutderby on social media

‘Operation Dry Water’ targets boating under the influence July 5-7
State Parks Boating Program reminds boaters to stay sober while boating
The Washington State Parks Boating Program, safety advocates and law enforcement agencies are asking boaters to help keep everyone safe on the water by not consuming alcohol or marijuana while when operating a boat or paddlecraft.
As boaters prepare for the Fourth of July holiday, law enforcement agencies are preparing for Operation Dry Water — a nationally coordinated effort that focuses on boating-under-the-influence (BUI) awareness and enforcement.
Boaters will notice an increase in patrols across Washington from July 5 through 7, as federal, state and local marine law enforcement will intensify efforts to detect and remove dangerous and impaired boaters from the waterways.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, boating under the influence is the leading-known factor in fatal recreational boating accidents.
“Every year we see boating accidents and tragedies that could have been avoided by staying sober,” said Rob Sendak, State Parks Boating Law Administrator.
“Boaters have a choice to choose safety first, and stay sober. At a minimum, they should designate a sober skipper.”
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, boating under the influence is the leading-known factor in fatal recreational boating accidents.
In Washington state, it is illegal to use any substance that impairs a person’s ability to operate a boat. The law applies to all boats, including kayaks, canoes, rowboats and inflatable fishing rafts.
State law allows law enforcement officers to require suspected intoxicated boaters to submit to a breath or blood test. Refusing to submit to a test is a civil infraction with a maximum fine of $2,050.
The penalty for operating a boat under the influence is a gross misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $5,000 and 364 days in jail. Additionally, a BUI is considered a prior offense if there are later convictions for driving under the influence (DUI).
Boaters can learn more about BUI laws in Washington State and about the risks of boating under the influence by visiting boatsober.org.

Operation Dry Water is a national awareness and enforcement campaign focused on reducing the number of alcohol-and drug-related boating accidents and fatalities.
As part of the campaign, emphasis patrols are conducted annually near the Fourth of July, a holiday known for increased boating activities and use of alcohol, during which law enforcement sees an increase in the number of boating accidents and fatalities.
The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) coordinates Operation Dry Water in partnership with the Coast Guard, safety educators and local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission administers the state’s Boating Program, which provides leadership in recreational boating safety and environmental education and outreach.

Advancing the Retreat
April March wants nothing more than to be left alone, but her husband has joined the church across the street, and April gets pulled into the mischief of the congregation.
The minister's wife has a secret; the minister has a different secret. Meanwhile there's a squirrel loose in the church, a loan to pay off, and a sacrilegious calendar. Everyone pulls together—just barely—for Christmas. Then something happens that cracks façades, and lets the essence of life shine through.

Conversation with Timothy Lee – Co-Founder of the Shoreline Royals Baseball Program
 |
| Coach Tim volunteered to help Shoreline Little League with a skills clinic. Photo Courtesy of Shoreline Little League |
Nicole Schultz, President, Shoreline Little League, sat down with Coach Timothy Lee to ask a few questions
A: I graduated from Shorecrest in 2011 and the UW 2015 and was lucky enough to be an assistant coach at Shorewood School while I was finishing my senior year at the UW. I wanted to find a way to give back to Shoreline while an opportunity to coach a bunch of 12 year olds happened and it evolved from there. The east side of Shoreline never had a “select” baseball program so Brian Hamshaw (then President of North King County Little League) and myself merged our teams to create the Shoreline Royals.
Q: What’s the end-goal?
A: The Royals were built to fill a void in this area of Shoreline. To give an opportunity to play competitive travel baseball at an affordable price. We are able to keep our costs 2-3x lower than anyone else because we are entirely volunteer based – from our back-end admin to our coaches, myself and Brian included.
Q: Besides the pricing – how else are you different from anyone else?
A: I think because our coaches are volunteers, they are doing it for the right reasons. Other coaches do it because it is their job but with our coaches and myself in particular, our hearts are in this for the kids. We also have this family-feel to the program where every player in our program knows every coach and player. For example, we have all our catchers work with Mark Green, a former-professional baseball catcher for the Mariners so they all learn the same concepts and they do it together – whether they are 11 or 17 years old.
Q: How successful has it been?
A: The program has grown and we get more interest from families outside of Shoreline every year to play with us. I am really proud of our retention rate of players being over 90% in the entire program, meaning our kids who are Royals want to continue being Royals. They are having fun here and enjoy the high quality coaching that we provide. But we also win a few tournaments here and there too.
Q: How many teams do you anticipate on having next year?
A: Six teams; it is surreal to think we started this with just one team and we’ve grown this much and this quickly. Hopefully we can fill a 10u, 11u, 12u, 13u, 14u and 18u team next year.
Q: Are you connected with Shoreline Little League?
A: The Royals are not directly affiliated but the majority of our players play for both the little league and Royals. We’re absolutely supportive of them and we often partner with them on coaching clinics or skills clinics. We have the exact same mission of providing high quality baseball to kids in the area.
Q: Why is baseball so important to you?
A: When I was 12 years old, I told my mom I was done with baseball because I just was not having fun anymore. She convinced me to play one more year of little league and that was when Brian Hamshaw coached me for the first time. I fell back in love with the game and then played another four years at Shorecrest. I’m not sure if I’d be where I am today without the experiences and the people I have met through baseball.
Q: If someone is interested in the Royals – how do they join or get more information?
A: Our website has all of that information. We have tryout dates posted already and they can sign up online.

Illegal marijuana grow house discovered in Lake Forest Park
 |
| Illegal grow house in LFP Photo courtesy LFP Police |
The residence was in the 2800 block of Meadow Place in Lake Forest Park. The initial investigation showed the high use of electricity, strong odor of green growing marijuana, and unusual activity. As the detectives continued their investigation, they found related history of another growing operation investigated in 2008 by Lake Forest Park Police.
Lake Forest Park Police obtained search warrants and with the assistance of the Northsound Metro SWAT and the Major Crimes Task Force through the Coalition of Small Police Agencies (CSPA), they served the warrant on Monday morning, June 24, 2019.
As a result, detectives confirmed the home was solely being used to illegally cultivate marijuana. All three levels of the home were being used for various stages of growing. They seized over 350 marijuana plants.
The home was vacant at the time and detectives are continuing their investigation. The homeowner did not have a license through the State Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) and did not have a Medical Marijuana Cooperative license.
These illegal activities embedded in our neighborhoods pose a risk to families and children. The Lake Forest Park Police Department will continue to partner with our community members in order to help solve these problems and enhance neighborhood livability.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation is urged to contact Sergeant Ross Adams at 206-364-8216 or radams@cityoflfp.com or Detective Troxell at 206-957-2860 atroxell@cityoflfp.com while referencing incident number 2019-05815.

Recology: recycling gets a lot easier with more stringent restrictions
Blue recycling bins are for:
paper,
cardboard,
metal,
glass bottles/jars,
rigid plastic (tubs, jugs, bottles bigger than 3 inches).
Recycling should be Empty, Clean, and Dry
don't leave anything that can mold and contaminate the paper in the bin
That means that customers have to be more careful about what they put in their blue recycling bins.
Recology and the City of Shoreline have been considering their options. One idea under consideration was to inspect individual bins and give warnings and then fines. This idea has been put on hold. Not only was it invasive and sure to create backlash from residents, it wasn't particularly effective.
Drivers would not be able to inspect every bin every week. They would not be able to do more than just look at the top layer. And it would not necessarily do anything to educate the public.
The first change for customers is in what goes in the recycling bin. A letter was sent to all Shoreline residents explaining that plastic film will no longer be accepted in recycling bins. That means any plastic that is pliable - plastic bags, and wrapping on food or goods such as toilet paper. As before, rigid plastic must be at least 3 inches (or about the length of your finger).
Prices will also increase by $1.35 per month for residential customers.
Recology will focus on education, particularly for multi-family housing.
If anyone has any questions about recycling / composting / garbage, they should contact Recology at the main number of 206-763-4444. You can also call this number to schedule training or presentations for groups.
Destinations: Two Pride Parades in Seattle this weekend
June is designated as Pride Month because the Pride movement started with the Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village, New York in June of 1969. (Wikipedia article)
The biggest local events are this weekend, at the end of the month, with a festival on Capitol Hill and a parade in downtown Seattle.
 |

Capitol Hill PrideFest begins at noon on Saturday, June 29, 2019 with events lasting until 9pm.
The biggest festival day on Capitol Hill all year long! Return to the place where Pride was held for decades, now a 5-block festival with food, vendors, 5 stages of entertainment, and the most diverse crowd you’ll see all year long. Best of all, it’s free.
500 E Pike, Seattle. Drive to the University Stadium light rail station and go to the Capitol Hill station and you'll be right in the middle of the festivities. Don't even think about driving. Capitol Hill is one of Seattle's most congested neighborhoods, even without 50,000 partygoers!
The 45th annual Seattle Pride Parade begins at 11am Sunday, June 30, 2019 and will go along 4th Avenue from Westlake Park to the Seattle Center. The parade is approximately four hours long.
Light rail is your best bet to get to this downtown Seattle event. There is a Westlake station that will put you right at the starting point of the parade.
Poem: Carl the Crow

Carl the Crow
by Jean Monce Bryant
Oh Carl the Crow- what a cute funny guy
He exited the nest when not able to fly
His parents are nearby-they're armed and they're ready
So predators BEWARE--their surveillance is steady
They feed Carl often--his demands will not quit
He'll squawk and he'll CAW till he gets every bit
As Providers and Security there's no time to sleep
They'll answer each call--even one tiny peep
With hawks, owls and raccoons and eagles as well
The dangers are many--I think you can tell
And neighborhood cats also can pose a threat
The parents relax???No, no time for that yet
If baby, though noisy, can hide from their view
His chance for survival's much better it's true
If one of his siblings has left the nest too
The parents' duties are doubled--for them I'll say "WHEW"
But any good parent--though tired and worn-out
Will come Wide-Awake at a peep or a shout
So thank you for babies--and parents as well
Their love and devotion it truly is swell
Carl will be growing his tail feathers soon
And then he can fly and head straight for the moon
He's patiently waiting for them to arrive
With rudders on board--he can fly and survive

For the Birds: Nestling crows leave home before they can fly
 |
| Maaaaaaa! Carl the crow calls for his parents |
Photos by Peggy Bartleson
Do you have a crow on the ground, making a loud noise? Unless you see blood, or a hanging wing, it is probably not injured. It is most likely a nestling crow which has left its nest before it can fly. Most crows leave the nest early for safety reasons. Nests, with their “feed ME” sounds, are lures for predators — raccoons, hawks, owls, eagles. The sooner nestlings are strong enough to leave their nests and hide, the more likely that they will survive.
 |
| Feed me! Carl the crow begging parent for food |
And do not fear; the parents are watching, dive-bombing cats and other dangers, and feeding their youngsters on a regular basis. Sometimes a couple of youngsters will hang together, but more often they will go their separate ways, thus increasing their probability of survival. The parents know where each is, and are feeding them appropriately.
Don’t let the nestlings’ size fool you. When they leave the nest, they are 80% or more of their adult weight. Their legs are already adult size, and their wing feathers are nearly full grown. But they are still babies. They will often tip side to side as they walk, making them look a trifle drunken. Part of the problem is that they don’t have their tail feathers yet to act as their rudders.
 |
| Carl being fed by his parent |
The pictures are of a neighborhood nestling. I first saw it five afternoons ago. The first neighbor didn’t know what to do, but had put out some tuna fish. Baby crows have to have the food stuffed down their throats—so putting out food won’t help nestlings.
The next morning that baby had moved across the street, near a house with a known hunter cat. The parents dive-bombed that cat until it started lying elsewhere. Now the little crow is staying at a house where the owner watches daily, but doesn’t crowd it. The parents feel comfortable in the yard, and Carl the crow (that’s what the neighbor calls it), struts around more steadily every day, and hides in the flowers at night.
 |
| Still no tail feathers - Carl is grounded. |
It still doesn’t have tail feathers yet, but will soon.
Remember, most birds found walking about on the ground are not abandoned, and don’t need human “help”. Keep your pet away from the area that the bird is staying, and wait about a week. It will fly away then.

Shoreline woman arrested after attempting to kidnap a child

According to Police, she is being booked into jail on several felony charges.
Police say she was arrested after attempting to kidnap a child.
The child is safe, was not harmed, and was returned to their parent.
The woman arrested is said to be related to the child.
According to Pastor Kelly Dahlman-Oeth, of the nearby Ronald Methodist Church,
"She is known to some of us in the community and the police department. In every encounter I've had with her, she presented behaviors that were clearly untreated and unsupervised mental illness.
"Whether she has a housing option, I've never been able to discern, as all of my encounters were with her living unsheltered on the streets.
"Though she has never exhibited dangerous behavior or issued threats, if she attempted to kidnap her child, she most certainly needs treatment for the constellation of issues she is dealing with including mental illness.
"It's my hope that she is receiving that treatment in King County Corrections instead of simply being incarcerated."
Neighbors reported that the police came and went from the location several times during the morning. They said that the woman was lying the street screaming before her arrest.

| Dusk by Don Wesley |
“Birds Like Us” retrospective features select works from the past twenty years of Don Wesley’s work. Wesley considers birds his muse.
“Birds are arguably the most accessible animal on earth,” says Wesley in his artist statement. “Wherever we are living, so are birds. Even in the most congested and polluted cities of the world, birds survive and thrive alongside us.”
Wesley’s pursuit of a degree in the arts began in the early 90s while he was serving in the US Army as a tank driver and attending classes at Pierce Community College. In 1995, he completed his bachelor's degree in Art at Western Washington University.
While visiting the Frances Anderson Center, be sure to also see the digital art exhibit by Edmonds area teens in the McDevitt Youth Art Display Case (next the main floor elevator) and a new group show by Wax On Washington in the Edmonds Festival Gallery.

On Wednesday, June 19, 2019 several members of our Refugee Welcome Mat group spent time at the Gates Discovery Center at 440 5th Ave N in Seattle where we were asked to demonstrate how we make our rag rugs. This event was the first of three After Hours@DiscoverGates events planned for the summer.
Group members from Kenmore, Mountlake Terrace, Kirkland, Redmond, Shoreline, and Lake Forest Park brought mats that they had already crocheted, woven, and knitted as samples to display. We also demonstrated these various techniques and showed visitors how we prepare our ‘yarn’ by ripping strips of fabric.
People of all ages from places such as Singapore, South Africa, Florida, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Seattle stopped by our table to participate.

Our project has been featured at the Gates Discovery Center for the past two months at the end of the visitors’ tour. Center staff have set up a ‘station’ where people can see one of our mats, learn more about our project, make tags welcoming refugees to our area, and practice tearing upcycled fabric into strips. The Gates Discovery Center has contributed these strips to our group to use in making more welcome mats. This activity will continue at the center through August.

Our group, Welcome Mats for Refugees, was formed two and a half years ago to demonstrate in a tangible way that refugees are welcome to our area.
If you’d like to join us in our efforts, we meet the first Saturday of every month throughout the year, from 10am to 1pm at Third Place Commons which is located on the upper level of the Town Center at 17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park 98155.

Once our artists finish their mats, we tag them with a card that says, “Welcome Home”, signed by the artist who makes the mat. Then, we contribute the mats to the International Rescue Committee (IRC).

The IRC places our mats in the apartments they prepare for new refugee families. Often, these mats are the first things they see when they open the door to their new home.
If you’d like to join us in our efforts, we meet the first Saturday of every month throughout the year, from 10am to 1pm at Third Place Commons which is located on the upper level of the Town Center at 17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park 98155.
We have supplies to get you started and we can teach you to crochet and/or knit. Our next meeting is July 6, 2019.
Our group will also be participating in a similar event at the Gates Discovery Center in late August.

Reader Martin Král says:
The orange blooms are Asiatic lilies and kniphofia (Red Hot Poker). The former bloom early and usually are not fragrant; the very fragrant Oriental lilies come a month later. Indian Paintbrush blooms at this time, but in the mountains and prairies, not in our gardens.
Thanks to Martin and other gardeners for identifying the lovely flowers.
