The Everett Clinic in Edmonds

The Everett Clinic, a division of DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA), recently opened a 50,000 square foot medical facility in Shoreline. On Monday, January 16, it will open a new outpatient surgery center and urgent care walk-in clinic located at 21401 72nd Ave. W. in Edmonds.

“The surgery and specialty center in Edmonds is a wonderful complement to our enhanced primary care clinic that recently opened in Shoreline,” said Chris Knapp, chief executive officer of the Everett Clinic. “We’re excited to bring The Everett Clinic’s brand of integrated, convenient and patient-centered care to the South Snohomish County community.”

The Edmonds clinic is designed to offer a comfortable patient experience, as well as provide convenient hours, high-quality care and a welcoming, integrated care team. The clinic is approximately 31,507 square feet and will be home to three operating rooms.

The Everett Clinic in Edmonds
 
In March, a number of medical specialists will join the Edmonds clinic, including orthopedics, ear nose and throat (ENT), hand surgery, physiatry, general surgery and advanced imaging through mammography, CT and MRI. Dr. Scott Schaaf, a well-known orthopedic surgeon and member of The Everett Clinic’s leadership team, will act as the Edmonds surgery center’s medical director.

“We are proud to bring state-of-the-art surgical services to Edmonds,” said Dr. Schaaf “We are dedicated to putting the patient first with regard to how we approach care and efficiency in this new facility.”

The Everett Clinic Edmonds surgery center will also provide convenient access to outpatient surgery and advanced imaging to The Everett Clinic’s locations in Shoreline, Mill Creek, and Thomas Lake.

The surgery center will be open 6am to 6pm Monday through Friday. The walk-in clinic will be open from 8am to 7:30pm Monday through Friday and 9am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.

In The Garden Now…. Elaeagnus Shrubs

Golden Elaeagnus
Text and photos by Victoria Gilleland

One of the easiest ways to liven up the winter garden is to add a variegated plant or two.

With that mission in mind Variegated Elaeagnus shrubs can add a light bright blast of color to your garden in the coldest darkest months.

These evergreen shrubs are fast growing, drought tolerant and easy to grow. They do well in full sun to shade. They can be pruned to form hedges or screens of various heights or used as focal points in the mixed shrub border.

Growth tends to be dense and twiggy with some spines. Plants are more open when grown in shade. Elaeagnus can be pruned into a wonderful evergreen variegated espalier. I treasure them for the strong contrast to green foliage and deciduous plants they provide year round.

Yellow Edge Elaeagnus Shrub
Elaeagnus shrubs grown in full sun will produce small but fragrant white flowers and red berries.   The same plant grown in shade is unlikely to produce flower or berry. Shrubs can reach 6-14 feet, but can easily be kept smaller and denser with pruning. They’re easy to grow in containers as well.

Chase the drab from your winter garden with the addition of a Variegated Elaeagnus shrub or two! You’ll find it’s a worthwhile garden addition year round.

(Botanical Name:  Elaeagnus pungens ‘Maculata’ and Elaeagnus pungens ‘Variegata’ )

Noon – 1 p.m.

1308 5th Ave, Seattle

Photo courtesy King County

"America owes a debt of justice which it has only begun to pay. If it loses the will to finish or slackens in its determination, history will recall its crimes and the country that would be great will lack the most indispensable element of greatness—justice." —Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The public is invited to join King County and its employees to celebrate the life of civil rights pioneer Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 'The theme of this year's celebration is a reminder that one of the goals of Dr. King's "Beloved Kingdom" was justice and that goal is always a "work in progress."

Seattle's historic 5th Avenue Theatre will be the backdrop for the celebration, now in its 30th year. This free event recognizes the achievements of America's foremost leader for Civil Rights and commemorates Dr. King's vision of an America offering opportunity for all.

Alexs Pate, keynote speaker
Alexs Pate, author, professor, and founder of the Innocent Classroom program for K-12 educators, will present the celebration's keynote address. The Innocent Classroom program focuses on ending educational disparities by closing the relationship gap between educators and students of color.

Other speakers at the celebration will include King County Executive Dow Constantine.

The event will also feature musical performances by the Seattle Women's Steel Pan Project, a multi-generational, multi-ethnic women's Caribbean steel drum band dedicated to creating a space for women and girls in music through arts education.

The 5th Avenue Theatre is accessible. Sign language interpretation will be provided. Other reasonable accommodations will be provided upon advance request. For more information or to request reasonable accommodations, please contact Paula Harris-White at 206-263-2444.

Poem: Hand in Hand in Love



Hand In Hand In Love

Yesterday I saw love walking,
Hand in hand,
The two of them, side by side, in harmonious pace!

He in a sporting green beret,
She wearing a bright calico scarf!
Yesterday I saw love walking!

Their obvious love displayed acts of shared understanding, valuing, caring and respect,
As they appeared oblivious to the world around them!
Yesterday I saw love walking, hand in hand,
The two of them, side by side, in harmonious pace!



Contentment, joy and happiness are the soul felt rewards of true love!

Backyard crows

Photos and Text by Wayne Pridemore

Seems like we have no crows around and then suddenly big flocks swoop in and take over the neighborhoods, perching in trees and calling to each other.


Most of us don't really appreciate the crow.

It is low on the cute scale, the sound of its cawing is not musical, and the scattered litter when it gets into our garbage is far from endearing.

They will eat almost anything - typically earth worms, insects, and other small animals, road kill, seeds, fruit, and our pets' food.

"Hey - so much for road kill, the almond bar is open !"
So what species of crow is this dainty eater ?

Many will say that it is the American Crow, others that it is the Northwestern Crow.

The Northwestern Crow (Corvus caurinus) is usually defined as along the immediate coastline from Southeast Alaska through British Columbia and northwestern Olympic Peninsula of Washington.

It is supposed to be smaller than the American Crow.

Other birding experts will state that there is no such species as the Northwest Crow, the two are one and the same.

"As for me, I say who cares ? "

My backyard crows are intelligent, wary, here one moment, and gone the next.

They are social flock members who guard each others backs.

Book Review by Aarene Storms: Fantastic Beasts and where to find them

Monday, January 2, 2017

Fantastic Beasts and where to find them - the original screenplay
by J.K. Rowling

The year is 1926, and British magiczoologist Newt Scamander has arrived in New York with a quest and a briefcase full of unusual magical creatures.

Also: Grindelwold, the bad guy idolized by Voldemort.

Also: Mary Lou Barebone, a sort of Carrie Nation against the magical world.

Also: some children, who may or may not have secrets.

Also:  two pretty ladies, see above re: secrets

And finally: Jacob, a regular guy who wants to be a pastry baker.  He has no secrets.

When a few beasts escape, Newt must locate them all before something dire happens. What could possibly go wrong?

The long-awaited return to the magical universe of Harry Potter does not disappoint: the magic is there, the mystery, and the threat to peaceful people everywhere. The story is written in screenplay format, which appears to be close to the final version used in the movie.

If you've seen the film, the book will offer no surprises. If you haven't seen the movie yet, you'll want to see it, if only to view the fantastic beasts described in the book.

Magical (non-gory) violence, no cussing. Some romance and kissing. No nekkidness.
Recommended for fans of the series, ages 10 to adult.


The events may not have happened; still, the story is true.  --R. Silvern

WeatherWatcher: Cold Blast, New Year's Day snow, December in review


Cold Blast: The forecast is calling for one of the coldest periods we've seen in a couple of years. With pretty good certainty it is expected to be sunny and cold through Friday afternoon. We are looking for high temperatures in the low-mid 30's and lows in the teens and low 20's. Wednesday will have a second strong outflow from Canada bringing temperatures down a notch once again.

Getting further out, next weekend has a storm moving in Friday night into Saturday that is expected to start as snow, but a warm up to rain is expected. Longer range is showing rain for a few days before another cold blast arrives around January 11th or 12th with a renewed chance of snow once again.

New Year's Day snow: We had snowfall New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, however the ground and air temperatures were still too marginal for most of it to stick. It wasn't until New Year's Day morning that temperatures got cold enough for snow to stick, however, most of the moisture had already started moving out by that point. The convergence zone band that was expected did develop, but it missed Shoreline and actually got Burien near Sea-Tac, dumping up to 6 inches of snow there. We dodged that heavier snow, but notice how easily that could have been us.

Total reported accumulations in Shoreline were up to 1 inch if you were further west such as Richmond Beach (Particularly North Richmond Beach neighborhood). Half inch of snow graupel was also reported in North City and at my weather station, with about a quarter inch of regular snow on top of it.

December in review: In short, December was colder than normal, with several minor snow events mixed in. The graph below shows our daily high and low temperatures compared to the station's average.


Daily average temperature graphed compared to the station's average gives you a better idea of how much colder December 2016 was. Notice the large dips around the 7-9th and 13-18th.


We had, in total, between all snow events, just over 4 inches of accumulated snowfall. Most snow on the ground at one time was 3 inches on December 9. Rainfall was short of normal but not by a huge amount. We are still well above normal for the season in rainfall. This graph shows the precipitation for the month, both in rainfall and snow accumulation. Note that any snow that falls and snow that accumulates is measured as rain when it melts in the rain gauge.



Here are the numbers for December 2016:
High temperature: 47.3°F (Friday December 2nd)
Low temperature: 21.7°F (Saturday December 17th)
Rainiest day: 0.69 inches (Friday December 23rd)
Total rainfall: 3.5 inches
Total snow accumulation: 4.1 inches
Average temperature: 36.1°F
Normal average temperature: 37.7°F (1.6°F below average)

You can recycle plastic bags

From Republic Services
Contrary to what you may think, you can recycle plastic bags.

Part of a category known as "plastic film," which applies to all thin plastic bags and wraps, they can be recycled.

The issue is with individual pieces or bags and the damage it does to the recycling equipment.

According to Recology (Shoreline) 
While the plastic itself is surely recyclable, bags cause major problems for recycling facility machinery. If a plastic bag enters the facility solo, the soft, flexible plastic is easily caught in the disks and grooves meant to help sort materials, eventually causing the machinery to jam and the forcing the facility to halt processing. Because of these complications, single plastic bags should NOT be placed in the recycling bin.

Both Recology and Republic (Lake Forest Park, Kenmore) say that the answer is saving up your plastic film and bundling it into one bag.

Bag plastic bags inside a larger plastic bag, tying the top to secure the bundle, before tossing it in their blue recycle bin. This bundle of bagged bags helps the material to take on a more three dimensional shape, making it less likely to get caught in the machinery.

Top Ten Names for dogs and cats in King County

Adopt him from PAWS and name him Max

From Regional Animal Service of King County

It’s that time of year again when kids everywhere plead for a new furry friend. If this is the year you believe they’re ready for the responsibility, then you may need help naming it, and you might be wondering how to keep it safe.

The Regional Animal Service of King County (RASKC) and Metropolitan King County Council Vice Chair Reagan Dunn are teaming up again to bring you answers!

“Licensing your pet not only helps to protect your pet if it ever becomes lost, it also helps fund the life-saving work of Regional Animal Services of King County,” said Dunn. “Our pet registry awareness efforts contributed to a 10 percent spike in animal registrations last year. I’m hoping to see similar results this year”

RASKC serves nearly one million residents living in 25 cities and unincorporated communities throughout King County. This year’s top ten pet names came from more than 27,000 pets that were registered in King County.

RASKC has a shelter in Renton, but Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, and Kenmore contract with PAWS in Lynnwood for shelter services. If your pet is missing, contact PAWS.

Pet licenses are sold at city halls and the Shoreline District courthouse.

Chef Janice Bellotti-Pace retires

Chef Janice in the Senior Center kitchen
By Jon Ann Cruver

After seven years of providing outstanding meals to the participants of Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center, "Chef Janice" is retiring.

She has said that “food is my passion”. She has expressed that passion in her years with the senior center. She has made the Community Dining Program vital to the many people she has served meals to on a daily basis. She has over doubled the participation for this program.

In addition to the many fabulous meals, she has also supported events at the center. She always provided a great line up of food and treats at the center's karaoke-bingo nights, ran two days of meals for the annual Holiday Bazaar while throwing in cooking classes for the seniors.

The City of Shoreline's yearly Santa Breakfast was one more way for her to provide meals for special guests.

She has barely changed in her years
at the Senior Center
During her goodbye salute, several participants expressed their gratitude to her for not only her meals, but for her friendship and devotion to them.

"(We) have so appreciated your total dedication, the delicious meals, your interest in the people you serve, even knowing everyone's name. Each month the two of us would look over the wonderful lunch menus and pick out or favorites. Each meal always had a yummy main dish, a vegetable, salad, fruit and dessert. 
Creating a new menu, every month, year after year is a victory on its own. Throw in looking for grocery specials, staying on budget, food purchasing for the week, preparation, working with volunteers and serving. I'm tired just thinking about it!"

Chef Janice is going to be missed in so many ways. But her time with us gave us many memories, and now, it’s her turn to move on to new adventures.

We all wish her well as she heads out creating her own new memories for the future.

One of the nicest things about life is the way we must stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.” Luciano Pavarotti
