Shorewood boys varsity tennis
9-5-23 at Jackson HS
Jackson 4 - Shorewood 3 

The Shorewood boys' tennis season started on September 5, 2023 by facing Jackson High School, one of the toughest WesCo 4A powerhouse teams. 

Shorewood players knew it would be a challenging test to start their season. They were led by Shorewood co-captains, seniors Sam Borgida and Henry Franey, and number one singles, junior JD Drake. Borgida and Drake are 2022 state tournament qualifiers.
 
Jackson started the match by jumping out to a 3-1 lead. Shorewood tied the score with key wins in singles, #3 Xander Gordon, #4 Zack Binz and #3 doubles Kristian Hagemeier and Drew Johnson, to tie the score at 3-3. 

It all came down to Shorewood number one doubles, sophomores Eli Sheffield and Riley Boyd. After losing their first set 5-7, they made some adjustments to the Jackson team's power game to win a very close second set 7-6 (7-2). With the third set score tied at 4-4, Jackson was able to break Shorewood's' serve to go up 5-4 and then held on to win 6-4. 

Jackson won 4-3.

Coach Arnie Moreno told his team he was "proud of how hard they played and their outstanding sportsmanship." He told them that they were "a very good team and they could match up with any tough teams in their season schedule."

Shorewood then played Marysville Getchell, Lake Stevens and Stanwood and defeated each team 7-0, to improve their record to 3-1 in non-conference matches. 

They will start their WesCo South conference matches Monday September 18th by hosting Mountlake Terrace, traveling on the 19th to face KingCo 4A North Creek, and play their second conference match at Lynnwood on the 20th.
 
The Shorewood JV team lost their first match versus Jackson and then came back to win their next three matches by beating Marysville Getchell, Lake Stevens and Stanwood, and improve their record to 3-1. 

Shorewood JV Coach JT Maschman says the he is "very proud of the improvement the young Shorewood players are making in every match." 

The Shorewood JV team plays the same teams that varsity has in the schedule.

All matches start at 3:30pm.

Seattle walks loud to end colon cancer

Marking its second year walking loud in Seattle, the Colorectal Cancer Alliance is hosting the annual Seattle Walk to End Colon Cancer on Saturday, October 7, 2023 at Gas Works Park. 

In its inaugural year in 2022, more than 620 people walked to reject the stigma, stop the silence and cancel colon cancer.

This year’s walk is expected to be even bigger, with 35 teams and 550 walkers already registered. 

Funds raised through the Walk to End Colon Cancer will support the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a national nonprofit that supports the needs of patients and families, caregivers, and survivors; raises awareness of preventive screening; and funds critical research to end colorectal cancer – the second leading cause of cancer deaths in our country.

The untimed 3-mile walk is a community-building event that brings together people who have been impacted by colorectal cancer (CRC) to raise lifesaving funds and awareness around this disease. 

This free event is open to everyone in the community — CRC survivors and allies who want to stop the silence and bring an end to this disease. For information and to register visit www.ccalliance.org/seattlewalk

More than 50,000 people in the U.S. die of colorectal cancer each year. With screening it is one of the most preventable cancers, but the stigma associated with colorectal cancer often creates a deadly silence.

“The impact of colorectal cancer is devastating, and there needs to be an outcry to stop it,” said Brianna Mercker, Chair of the Seattle Walk to End Colon Cancer. 
“Part of my mission as a survivor is to raise awareness of this disease, and I invite everyone who has been affected by colorectal cancer to join me in pounding the pavement and making some noise to save lives. It’s time to walk loud in Seattle!”

The walk will be held at Gas Works Park, 201 N Northlake Way, Seattle 98103. Sign-in starts at 9am, followed by an opening ceremony at 9:30am, and walk at 10am.

Baseball fans will support the Seattle walk and watch the Mariners take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at Strike Out Colorectal Cancer Day this Sunday, September 17 at T-Mobile Park. $8 of every ticket sold through this special offer benefits the Colorectal Cancer Alliance’s mission in ending this disease in our lifetime. The event is sold out.

Garden Guy: Perennials for Beginners

By Bruce Bennett

I have been reminded by several readers that not all home gardeners are experienced and that some would appreciate an occasional beginner-level gardening article. 

With that being the case, let’s start with a column on a basic unit of urban landscapes - the perennial. By definition, perennials are hardy plants that have a minimum lifespan of three years (although most of them are good for twenty years and longer). 

These plants are herbaceous and have flowers, leaves and stems that die back each fall and have new growth that arises from the roots each spring. Foundation plants of a garden, perennials can provide years of enjoyment and long-lasting beauty. However, before adding them to a garden, there are some guidelines for the new gardener…..

Photo by extension.osu.edu
Prepare and Test Your Soil
 

It is important to do some initial soil preparation. After you choose the spot you want to landscape, check the soil drainage by digging a ten-inch deep hole and filling it with water. 

The next day fill it with water again. If all the water has not drained out in eight hours, the drainage is poor and you should consider constructing a raised bed or adding perennials which are able to handle damp soils. 

Add three to four inches of compost or aged manure to planting area and dig int in to a depth of 8” – 12”. This process will build up or “raise” the bed. Next, test the pH of your soil. 

Test kits can be purchased at garden centers and free testing may be a service of your county’s Extension or conservation department. In the Seattle area, look to the King Conservation District. Once you have the test results, make the recommended amendments to the soil. The local Master Gardeners program can help to interpret your test results.

Right Perennials
 

Before buying do some researching. Decide what kind of garden you want; cottage garden, rock garden, mass planting of color, herb garden. Are you going to use bulbs or ornamental grasses? Is your flower bed in mostly sun or shade? 

It is important to have the right growing conditions for your perennials. A shade plant may not survive in the hot sun. A plant that likes direct sun may not flower properly in a shady spot. Make sure the plants are hardy for your area otherwise you are squandering your time and money.

Check the flowering times of different perennials. Pick plants and bulbs with different blooming periods so you have a succession of bloom during the spring, summer and fall. Look for ones that have longer blooming periods. 

Most plant catalogs (and, definitely, the Internet) have this information and will make it easy for the novice to select the right plants for a succession of blooms. You can also mix annuals (plants that live only one season) with your perennials. 

The annuals will help brighten the garden during the periods when some of the perennials stop blooming and will act as ‘fillers’ until the newly planted perennials mature and fill-out.

Purchase your perennials Here there are many choices: garden centers, garden club sales, herb farms, catalogs or better yet, get plant divisions for free from friends, neighbors and relatives who are dividing their plants. 

Perennials are more expensive than annuals, but you only have to buy a few plants of each variety because, over the years, perennials will grow and spread. 

Make sure the plants are healthy looking. You want plants that are dark green and compact—avoid plants with thin, yellowing stems and leaves or ones that may be harboring insects. Read the directions on the plant tags to see if they do best in sun or shade, how far apart to space them, and how tall they will get.

Start Planting
 

Plant in clumps or groups, spacing the plants as the directions recommend and keeping in mind the height of the plants. Plant according to heights starting with the tallest plants in the back of the bed down to the shorter, edging plants in the front. Of course, there are always exceptions. 

Tall plants that can easily be seen through (think Brazilian Verbenia, Verbenia bonariensis at left) can provide an aesthetic screen through which to view the planting bed behind them. Large plants like ornamental grasses do better planted as specimens by themselves since they will grow very large over the years. 

Begin planting by removing your plants from their growing containers leaving as much of the moist soil around their roots as possible. Dig a hole deep enough so that the top of the root ball is level with or just above the surface of the ground.

Before setting the plant in, drench the soil in the planting hole and then fill in with soil around the plant. Water on a regular basis until the plant is established and during dry spells. Water needs to reach the roots of perennials so use a soaker hose, drip irrigation or oscillator with water timers. Your goal is to provide all plants with 1” or water once a week (or more when the area experiences hot, dry spells.

Mulch
 

This gardening aid will keep the soil moist and warm and cut down on weeding. Bark, pine needles or shredded leaves are good organic mulches. You can also use gravel or black plastic landscaping material. Definitely stay away from the inorganic shredded and dyed rubber mulches.

Deadhead 

Remove old flower heads or cut back plants to keep them neat looking after their blooming period is finished. With many perennials, deadheading will cause reblooming and extend the visual interest of the plant.

Fertilize
 

This should be done each spring as plants come to life and begin growing.

Divide 

Every three to five years your plants will probably need to be divided as they will get overcrowded with have bare centers. Divide them into clumps of three to five shoots. Do this when plants are dormant in the spring or fall.

Follow these steps and you are on your way to establishing a beautiful garden. When fall comes, your plants will die back, but what a thrill when they are viewed breaking the soil each spring. With perennials, a little investment in time and money now can give you virtually a lifetime of enjoyment. Happy gardening all!

Murder on the Orient Express - a fresh telling of a classic murder mystery by the Driftwood Players

Friday, September 15, 2023

Murder on the Orient Express runs September 15 to October 8, 2023. Thursdays - Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm. 

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.

By Kindle Carpp

As we settled into our seats the first set was in the foreground of the stage. I was surprised that it didn’t look much like a train. But the art deco pillars that framed the stage set the time frame before a word was spoken
 
As the lights dimmed a scene began to play off stage, heard but not seen. Then Hercule Poirot, played by David Hayes, entered from the theatre lobby and up onto the stage.  Addressing the audience, he began to explain the mystery we were about to witness. 
 
Turning to the set, which I then realized was a restaurant, he transitioned from a narrator to a character. In a dreamlike sequence the cast walked casually on stage and cleared the furniture to the wings. and the story begun in earnest.

The curtains opened on an ingenious set design, built on two double sided sets on casters. It was a simple solution for a limited space. In the background vintage footage ran, showing the view from the train and giving the set depth and perspective. Really very clever!
 
The experienced cast did an excellent job with a few real stand-out performances. Kim Ferse played Mrs. Helen Hubbard in a way that was both campy and charming. Brian Harper and Sky Stafford embraced their characters but knew how to share the stage to allow their fellow cast members to shine.

David Hayes was an excellent casting choice for Hercule Poirot. I found him to be a delight.
 
A highlight for me was Brandon Jepson’s eyebrows, an inspired bit of levity. Watch for them in the second act.
 
This is a fresh production with innovative touches throughout.

Police manhunt startles Richmond Highlands neighbors but nabs the quarry

By Diane Hettrick

Shoreline residents in a wide area centered in the vicinity of 162nd and Aurora in the Richmond Highlands neighborhood were curious and alarmed at a major police presence on Wednesday evening, September 13, 2023.

A police helicopter was circling the area, broadcasting to residents to stay in their homes and lock their doors because they were searching for a suspect. K9 units were searching on the ground.

It should be noted that in these cases police want citizens to stay in their homes, not just because they might be in particular danger, but because they get in the way of the search.

Police helicopters are equipped with infrared devices for nighttime searches. They are not very effective when a lot of people are outside.

The Shoreline police spokesperson said they were trying to serve a felony warrant when the suspect fled. At one point he was hiding in a back yard in the 16000 block of Dayton N. 

He was located in nearby underbrush and booked for multiple warrants.

It's the "ground effect", which, to the best of my understanding, is: air funnels between the bird's wings and the water's surface, creating a cushion that increases the lift and reduces the drag.

Go, Bufflehead!

You can help shape the vision for Lake Forest Park's future public lakefront park

The City of Lake Forest Park has acquired 2 parcels, totaling 1.91-acres, on the shores of Lake Washington to provide the community with active water recreation opportunities. This multi-year effort requires community participation and input. The city and its consultants are now embarking on the design of future public waterfront that will feature expanded park and community space.

Your input is essential to the design of Lake Forest Park’s future public lakefront park! Share your thoughts and vision for the new lakefront park improvement project by taking the community survey.

Be sure to view the project website for more information on the project, sign up to receive email updates, and go on a virtual tour of the park!

End of 2023 Goat Season

September 9, 2023 was the final goat grazing session this summer at 'Midvale Gardens - the neighborhood name of the Seattle City Light parcel at the corner of N 192nd St and the Interurban Trail.

There was a good turnout to cheer on these magnificent beasts as they drifted back and forth across the property.

No forest fire smoke this time (thankfully). 

There was a snafu when one of the goats decided to jump the fence during the morning round-up at their pasture. 

The herd disappointed a few families who stopped by to get an early look. No goats until noon. 

Sorry. Ed stayed late and the goats got their leaves worth so it all worked out in the end.

Goats are happy to be fed and are delicate about eating out of the hands of small children

For those who remember the condition of this site five years ago it almost doesn't feel like the same place today. We will work this fall and winter to get the City of Shoreline (in cooperation with Seattle City Light) to commit to keeping this property clear now that it has been opened up for neighborhood observation. 

Thanks to the volunteers - human and 4-legged - children and kids don't have concerns about drug use at this location. Photo by Steven H. Robinson

We do not want it to slip back into the invasive jungle that once existed. We are pleased to announce that this summer there was no evidence of needles or habitation.
