Tom Traeger, artist and former Shoreline Schools superintendent


Tom Traeger, former Assistant Superintendent for Shoreline Schools, is a Featured Artist of the Month on the website The Arts of Kenmore.

Tom lives and works in Kenmore, but has deep Shoreline roots.

I was in Shoreline from 1964 to 1994, beginning as a teacher at Brookside, moving to North City in 1970 as vice-principal and principal. I moved to Lake Forest Park in 1973 to start the Shoreline Community School program and then on to central office for a number of positions in Federal Programs (Head Start, Title I, Grants Manager) and instructional leadership - Director of Instructional Services, Director of Elementary Education, Public Information Spokesman. From 1985 to 1989 served as Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent and from 1989 to my retirement in 1994 as Assistant Superintendent.
About his work, Tom says,
"I have always had an interest in creative pursuits, having explored clay sculpture and oil painting years ago, many enjoyable hours in my workshop designing and building wood projects. A few years ago, I began casting garden art leaves (rhubarb and gunnera) which I have sold at farmer's markets."

Anyone interested in purchasing his art work can contact him at 425-488-2818 or by email .


Charlene Freeman, in The Arts of Kenmore, provides this information about Tom.

Tom Traeger has been enjoying watercolor painting for the last six years and is now exploring the world of acrylic painting.

His work is inspired by many fond memories of his boyhood home in the farmlands of the Willamette Valley as well as the Puget Sound area where he came to attend college many years ago and has called home ever since.

When asked to describe his favorite topics, Tom can summarize it as boats, barns and birches.

The allure of the white bark of the birch tree finds it way into many of his paintings as it provides a wonderful contrast with many colors.

Tom and his wife, Bobbi, have enjoyed traveling throughout the country. In particular, New England has offered many of his favorite scenes as well as the inspiring visits Tom and Bobbi have made to villages in Mexico and Europe.

Tom was a member of Parklane Gallery in Kirkland for three years and now has an ongoing display of his watercolor and acrylic paintings at Alexa’s Café on Main Street in Bothell. Alexa’s has provided a wonderful gallery space for Tom while offering the many diners at this hometown café an ever changing art show for their enjoyment.

Tom retired a few years ago as Assistant Superintendent of the Shoreline School District. He has had a lifelong interest in genealogy and community history. Tom served as founding president of the Kenmore Heritage Society and takes pride in two outstanding projects accomplished with the members, the Kenmore History Book and the History Path at Log Boom Park.

In his leisure time, in addition to painting, Tom enjoys another creative and challenging pursuit…. golf!

Shoreline Police Blotter 7-13 to 7-20-2010


By Diane Hettrick
Categories and Comments are mine

Petty thievery
7-13….RB Rd, south side. Backpack on sidewalk, someone took an electronic book read and clothes. (no, I have no idea why it was left on the sidewalk. Bus stop? Library? Pizza?)
7-18….18325 Aurora, Fred Meyer. Shoplifted clothing.
7-20….12xx N 205, AV Radio Shack. Shoplifted a voice recorder.
7-20….15332 Aurora, Safeway. Thief put seven steaks in his/her basket, moved to aisle 16 and transferred the steaks to… (I hate it when the reports break off mid-sentence. Where did s/he put seven steaks? Did the packages leak and leave a trail on the floor? What was s/he wearing? How big were the steaks? Oh the images that keep forming…)

Grand thievery (Good grief. We must have every cop on robbery detail this week.)
7-15….13xx N 1788. Car stolen from residence.
7-16….518 NE 165, Camera Clinic. A guy came in to sell Hasselblad camera equipment. Sold it cheaply, but it’s worth thousands. Owner bought it and called police. (Do you know this shop? One of Shoreline’s secrets. He repairs cameras, sells cameras, lenses, accessories. He’s been there for years. Ridgecrest across from the police station, and near the Crest, another one of Shoreline’s secrets.)
7-19….178xx 5 NW. Guy tried to steal canoe from residence. Owner confronted thief, who fled on foot. (He was planning to paddle away. Ok, it’s a cheap shot, but someone had to say it.)
7-19….190xx 20 NW. Stole bicycle from open garage. 2007 Bianchi Volpe Road Bike, green with leopard print seat and combo lock around seat.
7-19….7xx N 161 Pl. Forest Villa Apartments. Two men were seen cutting the lock on the storage shed and taking a blower and compressor.
7-20….177xx 17 NW. Unoccupied house being extensively remodeled. Thief used combination keybox to enter main house and took $1000 work of tools from different contractors.
7-20….3xx NW 177. Stole chainsaw from shed in backyard.

Creepy thievery (probably burglary but then my categories wouldn’t match)
7-19….148xx Whitman, apartments. Victim was home with slider open. Someone came in and stole cell phone.

Yikes!
7-20….N 152 Aurora, Safeway. Guy arrested for assaulting an employee. Had a backpack with possible explosive device. Homemade with cell phone, wires, battery.

I’m not keeping up with the latest scams
7-13….23xx N 161. Victim reported that someone opened a USAA Federal Savings Bank account in his name. (Not sure why, maybe to establish credit for some nefarious purpose).
7-15….152xx Densmore. Caller reported receiving two money orders in the mail. (Maybe a set up? Some of this stuff is just too weird.)
7-15….1524 N 200, AV Transit Center. Lost wallet, then cards and ID were used. (Ok, I get this one. But I’ll bet the wallet wasn’t lost, but was stolen.)

The Nigerian Scam (but this one I know)
7-19….150xx Greenwood. Victim got an email promising him money if he would help the writer get it out of his country. The perp wired $28,000 to the victim, who then wired $8,000 back for "expenses." The $28,000 check bounced. (This one has been around the internet for so long that I thought everyone knew about it. Apparently not.)

Punks and Property Damage
7-13….197xx 6 Pl NW. Rock was thrown through a very large glass window in a residence. (Does anyone call them “plate glass” windows anymore? I never know when I’m out of date.)
7-18….183xx Stone. Mother and son left house for two hours and returned to find their front door broken.

Death
7-20….168xx 16 NE. Sally Granger, died at home. (Sally was a wonderful person and she will be missed. Obituary.)

Taking it to the streets
7-13….145xx 15 NE. Driving with license suspended. Actually no license at all. Arrested.
7-13….14xx N 200 by Costco gas. Traffic stop. Found marijuana and later discovered the driver dumped a pill bottle.
7-18….176xx Meridian. Traffic stop. Couple returning from a concert at The Gorge. Marijuana, marijuana brownies, hash pipe. (and they made it all the way to Shoreline before someone stopped them? Yikes.)
7-19….NE 180/14 NE. Driving with licenses suspended for second time in same night. Impounded car. (Slow learner.)

Geriatrics and marginal people
7-19….192xx 15 NW, RB Rehabilitation. Two patients got in an argument and it escalated with both parties kicking the other in the shin. (I’m so impressed that they could balance on one foot and kick with the other. Must be all those exercise classes.)
7-19….1259 N 205, AV Starbucks. Trespassed someone. (This is about the 83rd time they have Trespassed someone. Ok, I exaggerate. There are at least three guys that are not welcome at Starbucks, so I don’t know if this is a new guy or a repeater.)

Just darned annoying
7-16….145xx 28 NE. Car parked in front of mailboxes. (My neighbor’s house guests did this for years. The post office will not deliver your mail if the boxes are blocked. He finally just moved the boxes. Ok by me, I just wanted my darned mail! Ok, I’m done now. Letting go…)

Museum supporters demonstrate outside Shoreline City Hall


Supporters of the Shoreline Historical Museum demonstrated outside of Shoreline City Hall today, hoping to get the support of King County Executive Dow Constantine, who was meeting with members of the Shoreline City Council and city staff.  

Constantine stopped to talk to some of the 30 people who waited to see him, including three women who attended school in the Ronald School building. (Photo by Vicki Westberg, courtesy Of Paramount Importance blog).

The Shoreline School District is reclaiming its land which is under the Ronald School, currently occupied by the Shoreline Historical Museum. The School District and the Museum had a verbal agreement that the Museum would keep the Ronald School and the School District would pay to have it relocated.

The deal fell apart when the Museum was outbid for the property it wanted to purchase. The School District is proceeding with an earlier school design which builds the new Shorewood High School into the 100 year old Ronald School building, forcing the Museum to find a new location.

Letter to the Editor: Now is not the time to add local taxes in LFP

To the Editor:

If you believe that all your tax dollars to Lake Forest Park are being well-spent, consider this:

The Proposition 1 election itself is going to cost the City a substantial amount of money - many thousands of dollars - particularly since it is being held in August rather than November.

The City has already spent thousands of tax dollars on the "Special Budget Issue" of the Town Crier - an 8-page full color special mailing earlier this year. There will be a "special insert" in the August Town Crier with "information" about Proposition 1 - strictly "information" from the City's perspective.

And then to top it off, some of the most highly paid city employees are handing out "information" about Proposition 1 during regular city business hours. Most recently, the City Administrator (who is compensated over $150,000 a year in salary and benefits) was at the local library handing out such "information".

I am not opposed to taxes. I believe we need to pay for essential services. But young families in my neighborhood are struggling and my elderly neighbors received no cost of living increase in their Social Security benefits this year. For 2010 the city added a $20 per vehicle car registration fee, added additional 6% franchise fees to Shoreline Water District water bills, increased their drainage utility fee 15% (on top of another 15% increase the previous year), increased sewer bills, and took the maximum allowable increase in property taxes.

Now is simply not the time to add to local taxes - particularly when the money is being spent for the types of things listed above.

By Evan Smith

King County will mail voters’ pamphlets for the August primary election in a few days, but the information is already available on line at either the secretary of state’s web site  under “Primary Voters Guide” or through a link at the King County elections web site  under “Your voter guide.”

Here’s the information about the three candidates for State representative, position 1, an open seat in the 32nd Legislative District, a district that includes Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Woodway, part of Edmonds and unincorporated areas in both King and Snohomish counties.

Incumbent Democrat Maralyn Chase is giving up the seat to run for the State Senate. Running to replace Chase are Republican Art Codey, and Democrats Cindy Ryu and Doris Fujioka McConnell.

Here is the voters-pamphlet information from the secretary of state’s web site:
