The Broadview Garden BGC logoClub welcomes Paul Bryant to talk about bees, wasps and other

“Pollinators in your Garden.”   On Thursday, October 9 at 7 pm

Paul Bryant is a master gardener and backyard beekeeper.  He is also the beekeeper for Hazel Heights P-patch (NW 42nd and Baker Ave NW) and a Friend of Fremont Peak Park (4357 Palatine Ave N).  Paul believes that too many people fear bees, and lack an understanding of their critical role in our world.  He feels “we need to be a little more accepting of nature.”  He will tell all about the native insect and animal pollinators (butterflies, beetles, moths, hummingbirds, flies, etc.) that keep the Pacific Northwest green.  Pollination is a vital part of the cycle of growth of our food, and the plants that provide the air we breathe.

Broadview SPU Meeting Information Now Online

by

Updated: September 25, 2014

On Tuesday evening a large crowd of Broadview residents attended the Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) meeting about the paired sewage and drainage alternatives for the 12 Avenue NW basin.  There was a lot of information presented, and a lot of comments and questions.

There will be meetings about the alternatives for the problems in the Dayton Avenue basin this winter.  SPU has some new data about the frequency of potential sewage backups in the Dayton Avenue basin, which suggests that backups there could be more frequent than previously thought.

The presentation and the display boards are now online at SPU’s  Broadview Projects website.

Navigating the Elder Care Maze

by

Posted: September 18, 2014

Aging and Disability Services—the Area Agency on Aging for Seattle-King County— would like you to know about two important services and the agency’s interest in enhancing services in the coming year.

“I need to find assisted living for my mom.”

“My father-in-law doesn’t drive and can’t use Metro. He needs information on transportation options.”

“I’m providing regular care for my adult son, who has a disability. I need help!”

“Who do I call?!”

Do those questions sound familiar? Finding help for an older adult—yourself or a loved one—can be a daunting task. Fortunately, two local programs provide guidance in navigating the maze of community and government programs:

· Senior Information & Assistance (1-888-4ELDERS) is the go-to number for anyone age 60+ and their family members who needs help identifying resources that meet their needs.

· The King County Caregiver Support Network provides guidance to unpaid primary caregivers of adults of any age who are unable to care for themselves—typically family members or close friends or neighbors.

Aging and Disability Services (ADS)—the Area Agency on Aging for Seattle-King County—currently funds both programs. In the coming year, services may be enhanced to help a broader range of older adults and individuals with disabilities plan to live independently in the community.

As part of that process, ADS would like community input. Please take a few moments to complete an online survey that will help with these important decisions. The survey is open through September 30. Here’s the link: www.surveymonkey.com/s/87CHD23
