New Hogwarts students line up to be sorted
into their House

There was magic in the air at Third Place Books “Double 20” celebration on Wednesday, September 5, 2018 at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park's Town Center.

The air was electric. The vast room crowded with a mix of kids and adults. I dressed some in Harry Potter robes, scarfs, glasses, and more than one attendee wore their very own sorting hat.

The occasion? It was a double celebration of the 20th year anniversary of the publication of the first book about everyone’s favorite British boy wizard, Harry Potter, as well as for the 20th anniversary of the opening of Third Place Books.

"Professor" Nicki Marion read to an absorbed audience
Bookseller Nicki Marion said, “Twenty seems like a nice round number to celebrate and it’s the also the 20th anniversary of the opening of Third Place Books.”

Marion also doubled as Professor Nicki and read from Potter author, J.K. Rowling’s book, “Tales of Beedle the Bard” in the Kid’s section of the store to the rapt attention of her audience.

Other bookstore employees did double-duty at the event. Bookseller Lish McBride, an author of several novels in her own right (“Necromancing”, ‘Hold Me Closer, Necromancer”, “Firebug” and her latest “Pyromantic”) sorted new Hogwarts students into their proper ‘house’ or "dormitory" as we say stateside, using the magic of the ‘Sorting Hat’.

Michelle Jones and Kai. Michelle could not
resist being "sorted" herself
Michelle Jones of Seattle brought her son Kai, 8, to the event, but couldn’t resist getting ‘sorted’ herself.

“The hat said I was a Slytherin. You can’t argue with the hat, but I feel like I’m a Gryffindor myself.”

Owen Watson of LFP is a Gryffindor
However, Owen Watson, 11, from Lake Forest Park, was delighted with what the Sorting Hat decided about him. “I’m a Gryffindor!”

Not everyone was there for Harry. Ruth Hayes-Short, former principal of Brookside Elementary (2001-2006), brought her 3-year old granddaughter, Liv, and read from a book that was more age-appropriate.

“I think Harry Potter is wonderful for older kids. My son, 30 now, loved the books.” She also raved about Third Place Books. “I love this place. It’s my favorite bookstore—for so many reasons!”

Author Lynn Brunelle (“Turn this Book into a Beehive”, “Pop Bottle Science”, “Big Science for Little People”, and more) came all the way from Bainbridge Island for the event to teach a potions class.

Potions master Lynn Brunelle has been
concocting potions for hundreds of years
 
Known for the evening as Professor Brunelle, she jokingly claimed to be the youngest potion teacher at Hogwartever, where she’s been concocting things for hundreds of years.

She mesmerized the crowd with her color changing liquids, lava lamp lessons, and tooth paste concoction for Fluffy, Hagrid’s gargantuan and very slobbering dog.

“We are so lucky to have had Third Place Books in our area for the past 20 years,” said one attendee."


Ruth Hayes-Short reads to her
granddaughter Liv
“I remember when the upper level of the shopping mall was a bunch of different stores that used to change ownership frequently. Third Place Books has been that constant attraction for so many years, now.

"Whether it’s to hear authors read or to come to a great book-related event like Harry’s 20th anniversary, Third Place Books and Third Place Commons adds to the vitality of Lake Forest Park and its neighbors.”

Huge win for Shorewood football breaks 17 year losing streak

TBird and Cheer celebrate the team

WesCo South 3A Football
9-7-18 at Shoreline Stadium
Shorewood 38 - Meadowdale 7

As the student section began to count down the final seconds of the game – 5.4.3.2.1 – a momentary silence fell across Shoreline Stadium as heads turned to look at the scoreboard and the reality of the night sunk in.

The final score was not a mirage and it was not the expected outcome – the 17-year losing streak was over – Shorewood Thunderbirds 38 – Meadowdale Mavericks 7.

Shorewood dominated the game and secured their first WesCo league victory since 2014 and now sat 2-0 for the first time since 1998. Suffice to say – with two solid outings to start the 2018 season, optimism is running high for the remainder of the year.

#3 Robert Banks piles up the yards
Senior Robert Banks led an explosive running attack – slicing and dicing through the Maverick defensive for three touchdowns. Banks ran with an intensity and hunger seldom seen on the turf at Shoreline Stadium. Each time he touched the ball – it had the potential for a score.

The T-bird offensive line, even though outmatched upfront size wise – battled on each play – showing a level of grit and desire to ensure the T-bird spread running and passing attack had the time and the creases to play to the running backs' slashing and quick cutting running style.

#15 Kody Carpenter wraps Meadowdale ball carrier

Further, the offensive effort was led by a mature and poised Senior David Snell at QB. In situations where Snell might have panicked last year, he stood tall in the pocket and made focused and accurate passes to a very sure handed T-bird receiving corp. With the addition of Senior Jaro Rouse - who is an absolute rocket on a pair of cleats – Shorewood finally has a consistent deep threat which will give opposing defenses pause.

On the defensive side of the ball the T-birds showed mental toughness and a bend but don’t break attitude, holding the Mavericks to zero points in the red-zone three times. Employing a new 3-3-5 defense, the T-birds swarmed to the point of attack and played sideline to sideline.

#5 Joseph Williamson returns a kick for a big gain
 
Even in situations where the Mavericks found success on the ground – attacking the center of the defense, the T-birds rallied to the cause and demonstrated a resiliency not seen by the Shorewood Green and Blue in ages. Hard hits were the name of the game and at the end of the night Meadowdale knew the effort put forth was not a fluke.

Said Head Coach Brandon Torrey: "I'm proud of the way the team played together and for one another."

Shorewood (1-0/2-0) plays Snohomish (0-0/0-2) next Friday 7pm, September 14, 2018 at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Snohomish.

#2 Jaro Rouse breaks up the pass

It's football season - so time to get ready for basketball - Feeder Program

By Rob Oxford

Another school year is upon us and although the football season has only just begun, many of our young athletes are already focused on the upcoming basketball season.

Back in August we introduced you to Shorecrest's new Basketball Coach, Eddie George. When I tell you he is excited for his first season as the Head of Highlander Hoops, I mean it with all sincerity. 

Coach George brings years of experience as a player and coach, having spent time playing in the ABA, CBA, and Overseas. After spending the past seven years coaching AAU and high school basketball, the Shoreline School District was successful in recruiting this highly sought after addition to their coaching staff.

At a mini-camp held during the Summer, returning players shared with this reporter their enthusiasm at the direction in which they feel the program is headed and the new coach's approach to the game of basketball. Junior Guard Jack Sims is encouraged about the prospect of a much "faster paced game" under Coach George. Jack admits that with the recent graduation of such standouts as Chris Lee and Phillip Pepple, the Scots will need to develop a more balanced attack on the court. He welcomes what he calls a "new perspective" under Coach George and "new play styles" that will enhance the Highlanders offensive attack.

Those who know him more intimately admit that Coach George is hard but fair. He demands excellence, is a tireless worker and expects the same of his players. "Feeder" basketball, which is very important to Coach George, allows younger players to compete against other schools in WesCo that they will ultimately be facing at the high school level.

The Shorecrest Feeder program is no longer affiliated in any way with the Shoreline Sports Foundation which previously ran the program and although district rules forbid Coach George from involvement with the program directly, he has put together an all star cast of trainers and coaches to help express and implement his coaching philosophy.

Longtime Shoreline sports enthusiasts will be familiar with Coach (“Sgt.”) Mike Lawson, an experienced trainer who has worked with local as well as many NBA players. Mike is an award-winning coach for North City youth basketball and currently serves as a strength coach for several colleges and high schools. He played basketball overseas as well as in an NBA summer league in 1996. Mike created the Sonics 4 on the Floor outdoor tournament for the Seattle Supersonics and helped run the Supersonic kids summer camps. He was with the Seattle Reign (women's pro basketball) as well as with the Seattle Storm for many years where he has two championships as a practice player.

Coach Mike welcomes and encourages parents and older siblings alike to reach out with questions or concerns, to just say hello and to see how they themselves can get involved to support our young student athletes. More information on Coach Mike HERE.

If you missed the article on Coach George posted in August, a link to that story is available HERE

Sidewalk initiative, Point Wells update at September Richmond Beach Community Association meeting

The finer points of two dramatic over-the-summer developments for Richmond Beach will be the topics at the September RBCA meeting.

A team from the City of Shoreline will explain what to expect now that 20th Avenue NW from Richmond Beach Road to the Saltwater Park has been put near the top of the priority list for sidewalk improvements.

In June, the City Council decided that, for all the scientific fairness applied to apportioning sidewalk repairs throughout the whole city, common sense told them that the heavily trammeled gateway to the city’s namesake attraction needed immediate attention.

Also in June, a judge in Snohomish County ruled that the developers of a proposed massive condominium complex at Point Wells were woefully deficient and egregiously tardy in their plans and permit applications, and the project was rejected.

In August, an appeal on several points of the judge’s ruling was largely rejected, but some question remains whether the developer, BSRE, can re-apply and under what rules. Local expert Tom McCormick will be on hand to explain and answer questions.

The meeting is open to all. It will be in the basement of the Richmond Beach Congregational Church, at the corner of Richmond Beach Road and 15th Avenue NW, at 7:30pm on Tuesday, September 11, 2018. Come a half hour early to mingle and enjoy refreshments.

American Legion awards 2018 Life Changer and hears from Afghanistan combat veterans

American Legion Post 227 members had an eventful evening at their meeting on Tuesday, September 4, 2018.

The Post’s Life Changer award was presented to the 2018 winner, Ruby Takushi, for founding Recovery CafĂ© in Seattle as a refuge of Healing, Hope, and Transformation for those suffering from drug or alcohol addictions. The CafĂ© offers food and a variety of healthy activities.

In a survey, over 90% of the participants had increased hope and decreased use of drugs and/or alcohol. The award was presented by Christina Frappier, who chaired the selection committee. Takushi was nominated by her friend, Helen Christ, who was in the audience to observe the award presentation.

From left, Tom Young, Daniella Young and Larry Fischer
Post Commander Larry Fischer introduced the invited speakers for the evening, Tom and Daniella Young, who served in combat in Afghanistan.

Tom’s father loved flying a light plane and taught Tom to fly. When Tom joined the Army in 2000, he applied to be a helicopter pilot but was not admitted to flight school.

He became an Army Private but was eventually assigned to be a helicopter mechanic. He later reapplied to flight school and was admitted.

After the 9/11 attacks, Tom was recalled from home leave to begin preparing for combat. He served eight combat tours in Afghanistan, first as a mechanic for CH-47 helicopters and later as a pilot with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer.

In 2009, Tom and his crew were shot down in Afghanistan. Tom was able to get the helicopter to the ground without losing a crew member but his gunner lost part of his leg from the ground attack.

Daniella’s grandfather joined an extreme religious cult and moved to South America with the cult. Daniella’s mother was a cult member when she gave birth to Daniella. Daniella was able to escape from the cult and return to the U.S. 

She joined the Army and became a combat intelligence officer and part of the first group of women to conduct combat operations in a war zone. As a US Army Officer, Daniella was a consultant to high level leadership, led teams of soldiers, and created strong teams. She served two tours in Afghanistan with honor.

Tom and Daniella met on the flight from Fort Campbell, Kentucky to Bagram, Afghanistan. They had their first ‘date’ at Green Beans coffee while deployed together. Daniella was Battalion intelligence officer and Tom was a standardization officer and instructor pilot for the unit. After Daniella’s second combat tour, they were married and she retired from the Army.

Daniella is CEO of Cultural Forte, a culture and innovation consulting firm. She has worked with CEO’s, government, military and non-profit leaders to help them make culture their forte, increasing business results by up to 700%. Tom is currently stationed at JBLM and they will be in the Seattle area until Tom retires in 2020. They love to fly private airplanes to wine country, run marathons and swim in the lakes with Lorelei, their trilingual 2-year-old daughter.

It was a beautiful morning and early afternoon, a bright sunny day. Lee was out walking and found signs of fall - a tree with leaves already turning.

It was a beautiful, sunny fall morning
Photo by Lee Lageschulte

Look at the beautiful blue sky. Lee took the photo around 11:15am Thursday morning.

I had my doors and windows open and was enjoying the nice breeze. I don't remember what time it was - sometime in the late afternoon. Suddenly there was a foul odor blowing in the front door - which means the wind was from the south.

I rushed to close all the doors and windows. By sunset, when Frank took the photo out over the Shoreline Sea, the smoke was obvious.

On the news, I heard of a big new fire in Shasta County, California. The Delta fire has burnt 15,000 acres in 24 hours and is not contained.

It's still fire season. Hoping for rain for California.

100 years ago: Pandemic in Seattle - the Spanish Flu

By Meredith Li-Vollmer
Public Health, Seattle and King County


One hundred years ago this fall a terrible influenza outbreak arrived in King County and Washington state, part of a pandemic that had spread around the globe. Just ten years ago, artist David Lasky and I created our first comic book together, No Ordinary Flu, that told what happened in the United States during the Great Pandemic of 1918 (also known as the Spanish Flu). We’ve reunited to produce a serial comic strip about how that deadly influenza spread in our region and how local people coped with a historic public health crisis.








This comic strip series commemorates the centennial of the Great Pandemic of 1918 and celebrates the 10th Anniversary of our original comic book, No Ordinary Flu. Order copies of No Ordinary Flu (available in multiple languages) and for more on pandemic flu, including what schools, businesses, and individuals can do to be ready for a severe pandemic: HERE

There will be a new chapter each week this month.

Pre-drill briefing

The Shoreline Water District building the fire department was using for training has been demolished (see previous story) so it is their good fortune to have another commercial building available almost immediately.



Merlone Geier, owners of Shoreline Place, are allowing fire departments to train in the old - and very large - Sears building at N 155th and Aurora.



Shoreline Fire is training with departments from all over King County - Shoreline, Bothell, North Shore, Mercer Island, Kirkland, East Side and Redmond.

They will conducting training in and around the building all this month, staging different types of drills.
