Groundbreaking for new Shorewood High School in Shoreline Town Center October 17

From the Office of the Shoreline City Manager

On Monday, Oct. 17, the Shoreline School District will break ground on the new Shorewood High School located in Shoreline’s Town Center. The new high school will completely replace the current high school and continue the positive changes seen in the area.

“We are very excited to see construction beginning on the new Shorewood High School,” stated Mayor McGlashan. “Shorewood is an integral part of the Town Center vision. It, along with the new City Hall and the Shoreline Fire Department headquarters, are the anchors to Town Center. 
"The activity surrounding the high school brings vibrancy to the area and we anticipate that soon people will have a variety of shopping and restaurant choices to enjoy before a game or performance at Shorewood.”

With good transit services along Aurora, the Town Center capitalizes on its central location in Shoreline and its “close-in” regional location as a focal point for much of the City’s future commercial and residential growth. Shorewood’s modernization and relocation to the northeast corner of the site will have a positive impact on Town Center as it transitions to a more attractive, compact, walkable and mixed-use center.

Site preparation on the Shorewood site began over the summer with the demolition of old portables, renovation of the former wood shop area to provide classroom space and the installation of temporary portables on the old athletic fields. Construction will begin in November. Scheduled completion of the new school building is expected for August 2013.

The community is invited to the 4:00 pm groundbreaking ceremony and the reception immediately following.

I believe I have the background, experience, and established commitment to serve our community as a Shoreline School Board Director.

My wife, Janelle, and I and our oldest child graduated from Shorewood. We have three children currently attending Shoreline schools. They are third generation Shoreline students.

I am active in the community and have received several commendations including PTA's Outstanding Advocate and the Award of Excellence from Richmond Little League.

For the Birds: Red-breasted Sapsucker- The fifth local woodpecker

Red-breasted Sapsucker.  Photo by Christine Southwick.
By Christine Southwick

There’s a bird with a bright red head high up in your cottonwood tree that acts like some kind of woodpecker. It is too small to be a Pileated Woodpecker. What is it?

In our area it is a Red-breasted Sapsucker. One diagnostic field mark is the vertical white stripe running up its side. Only sapsuckers have this white stripe.

There are two other sapsuckers in Washington: the Red-naped, mostly in eastern WA; and the Yellow-bellied sapsucker, further north; before 1985 they were considered one species. Being mostly non-migratory, only the Red-breasted Sapsucker is regularly seen here in the winter.

Rows of neat holes show the presence of a sapsucker.  Photo by Suzanne Tomassi.

Sapsuckers drill neat horizontal rows of holes in large healthy trees, and return repeatedly to feed on the running sap and the insects that get caught in the sap. They also eat some berries and seeds.

Red-breasted Sapsuckers are considered a keystone species, because so many other species take advantage of their sap wells. Both Anna’s and Rufus hummingbirds eat the bugs, and a little of the sugary sap. Rufus Hummingbirds commonly build nests near a Sapsucker tree—like living near a neighborhood deli.

Whereas Red-breasted Sapsuckers prefer dense old growth forests with large dead trees, they will use second growth forests that have large nesting trees. They can use large cottonwoods in riparian habitats, if necessary.

...their drumming sounds like someone learning to use a hammer...

Because their nests are high, 50-60 feet above ground, not much is known about Red-breasted Sapsuckers nesting behavior. Single-season nest cavities are started about April, usually in deciduous trees like Aspen or Cottonwood, with both members of the year-round monogamous pair excavating the nest hole. Both male and female incubate the 4-7 eggs , feed their nestlings insects, and teach the fledglings to drill holes and survive.

Except while establishing territory, or excavating a nest, these are relatively quiet woodpeckers. They have a squeal-like call, and their drumming sounds like someone learning to use a hammer, maybe because they have to move make the next sap well.

Males and females look alike. The juveniles have a brown head, and an over-all brownish color, as compared to the bright black of the adults.

So, if you hear an irregular tapping, look at tree trunks, or maybe old telephone poles, and if you see a red-headed bird smaller than a flicker, but larger than a downy, it is our native Red-breasted Sapsucker. Their sap tree could be near by…


Christine Southwick is on the Board of the Puget Sound Bird Observatory and is their Winter Urban Color-banding Project Manager. She is a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat Steward, having completed their forty hour class. We're happy that she's sharing her expertise with us about the birds in our backyards.

Voters' pamphlet statement: Supplemental School Levy


King County Local Voters' Pamphlet

Shoreline School District No. 412

November 8, 2011 General And Special Election

Simple Majority (Wash. Const. Art. VII, sec. 2(a))
Proposition No. 1
Supplemental Levy to Support Class Size
The Board of Directors of Shoreline School District No. 412 adopted Resolution No. 2011-14, concerning a supplemental levy to support class size.  This proposition would address impacts on class size due to State budget reductions by levying the following excess taxes, in addition to the existing levies for educational programs, maintenance and operations approved by the voters in February, 2010, on all taxable property within the District:
Collection Year
Approximate
Levy Rate/$1,000 Assessed Value
Levy Amount
2012
$0.09
$1,300,000
2013
$0.09
$1,400,000
2014
$0.10
$1,500,000

all as provided in Resolution No. 2011-14. Should this proposition be approved?
YES __
NO __
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Passage of Proposition No. 1 would allow the levy of $1,300,000 of property taxes within the Shoreline School District for collection in 2012, the levy of $1,400,000 of taxes for collection in 2013, and the levy of $1,500,000 in taxes for 2014. The purpose of the levy is to support class size in response to State budget reductions.  This supplemental levy is in addition to the maintenance and operation levy, approved by the voters in the February 2010 election, on all taxable property within the District.  The taxes approved by this proposition would be deposited in the Shoreline School District’s General Fund and expended to support class size.  If authorized by the voters and based upon current assessed valuation information, the estimated levy rates per $1000 of assessed value would be $0.09 (2012 collection); $0.09 (2013 collection) and $0.10 (2014 collection).
Statement For
Please vote “Yes” to support the Shoreline School District’s ongoing commitment to provide quality education to students.  Cuts in education funding by the state and federal government have resulted in a reduction of over $6 million from the Shoreline School District budget in the past two years.   Continued funding cuts have made it increasingly difficult to maintain current class sizes. In 2010 state law was passed to allow local school districts to seek additional funding through voter approval of a supplemental levy. A “Yes” vote on the Shoreline School District’s Supplemental Levy will provide funds specifically targeted toward the classroom.   A “Yes” vote on the supplemental levy is an opportunity for the citizens of Lake Forest Park and Shoreline to renew their commitment to excellent public education.   A “Yes” vote will help the district keep class sizes at appropriate levels to meet the educational needs of its students.  Shoreline Schools have always been a place for our kids to receive a quality education.  Let’s keep it that way.  Vote “Yes” for Shoreline Schools on November 8.
Statement submitted by: Wes Brandon, Ruth Kagi and Krista Tenney 
Statement Against
No statement submitted.
Statements in favor of and in opposition to a ballot measure are submitted by committees appointed by the jurisdiction. No persons came forward to serve on the committee and to write a statement in opposition. If you would like to be involved with a committee in the future please contact the jurisdiction.

Poem by Bob Barta: A Leaf

It's fall and the leaves are falling. If there isn't a breeze, go pick up some leaves. Free-up your mind and enjoy the geometry and the colors of each leaf, or just shuffle in a pile of leaves and pretend you're a kid again:)


A LEAF

©2011 Bob Barta

A leaf on a tree, what does it mean to me?
It waves its beauty in the summer’s breeze,
Surely a comfort more lasting than tea!

Its oscillating motions entertain me.
as it collaborates with the billowing winds.
A leaf on a tree, what does it mean to me?

A leaf makes me wonder
why its beauty is a mystery to me
Surely a comfort more lasting than tea!

And wonder of wonders even while I sleep,
It makes the air that I breathe.
A leaf on a tree, what does it mean to me?

I am delighted by its beautiful shapes
and marvel in its oxygenating science.
Surely a comfort more lasting than tea!

A leaf is there for you and me for a reason,
and in winter it falls to make another for next season.
A leaf on a tree, what does it mean to me?
Surely a comfort more lasting than tea!

On a windy day, go check and see,
the beautiful dance of a leaf on a tree

Flags remain at half-staff for Gov. Roselinni

Flags at Washington State agency facilities will remain at half-staff until late Tuesday afternoon, October 18, following the burial of Governor Rosellini, or first thing Wednesday morning, October 19.

It is with deep sadness that Governor Chris Gregoire directs flags at all state agency facilities to half-staff in memory of former Governor Albert D. Rosellini who passed away Monday at the age of 101.

Other government entities, citizens and businesses are encouraged to join this recognition.


Gov. Rosellini's first term as governor has been praised as one of the most effective and progressive in state history.
In particular, he was credited with improving nightmarish conditions in state prisons, mental hospitals and juvenile homes.
"He brought the institutions into the modern era," said Smith, the biographer. "They were languishing in a situation where they were almost like they would have been in the Civil War."
At the time, some inmates still were bound in manacles and housed in cells with buckets for toilets. Gov. Rosellini fought for more modern facilities, training for staff, jobs for inmates and forestry camps for low-risk offenders.
Gov. Rosellini also overcame political opposition and daunting funding problems to build a second bridge across Lake Washington. The Highway 520 floating bridge opened in 1960, coming in under budget. The bridge was officially renamed in his honor in 1988.
And Gov. Rosellini worked to support the UW Medical Center, whose creation he'd proposed as a state legislator. As a New Deal Democrat, he believed strongly in public education.
