The Everett Historical Commission voted to postpone taking action on the city's request for permission to demolish the Clark Park gazebo.

Feliks Banel's guest on this live broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Andrea Tucker, president of the non-profit Historic Everett on the group's effort to reach a common-sense compromise with the City of Everett to preserve the Clark Park Gazebo. Also featured on this episode is a tribute to the late Louis Larsen, the final surviving member of the executive leadership team of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, who passed away last month at age 99. Larsen was a good friend of CASCADE OF HISTORY, and we listen back to excerpts from interviews with him. And, since April 21, 2024 is the 62nd anniversary of the launch of the fair, we play some old "Century 21" novelty songs and theme songs, too. This LIVE broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally presented at 8pm Pacific Daylight Time on Sunday, April 21, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

On Tuesday night, the Everett Historical Commission once again weighed a request from the City of Everett for permission to demolish the historic gazebo at Clark Park.

The Everett Historical Commission met Tuesday night to discuss the city’s formal request for permission to tear it down, and then offered up a strategic compromise instead.

Feliks Banel joins SMN to discuss Mayor Cassie Franklin of Everett's decision to demolish the historic 1921 gazebo at Clark Park. Not everyone is happy about the decision, or about the opaque manner in which it was made.

The Clark Park Nature Center gives people an up-close education on the flora and fauna around our area. The park also offers walking trails, a waterfall and outdoor adventure. Learn more in this episode of City Update and then go check it out!

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Oct. 15th. And then, the cold arrived. According to the National Weather Service, it will be sunny in Cedar Rapids on Thursday but much colder than the day before, with a predicted high of 54 degrees. It will also remain quite breezy, with a windspeed of 15-20 mph gusting as high as 30 mph. The low for Thursday night will drop to 32 degrees, with the wind at least settling down a bit, to 5 to 10 mph. Dan Gable, a lifelong Iowan and an incredibly popular amateur wrestling icon as a competitor and coach, is being awarded the https://www.whitehouse.gov/medaloffreedom/ (Presidential Medal of Freedom), the nation's highest civilian honor. President Donald Trump's office sent a letter to Gable via email Tuesday night to inform him of the honor. There is no date set for Gable to get the honor, the first ever given to a wrestler. Coaches and athletes from nine other sports have received it. The medal has gone to citizens in many walks of life, from the arts to science to politics to journalism. President Trump was in Iowa on Wednesday holding a rally at the Des Moines Airport.  In the closing weeks before the election, Trump has been polling neck and neck with former vice president Joe Biden in Iowa, a state he can't afford to lose if he wants to replicate his previous path to victory. Gable was also on stage with the president Wednesday night, declaring Trump is “already a one-time champion, but because he's open for learning and he's already very competent, that he's going to be a multi-champion president of the United States of America.” Trump, speaking to thousands of supporters, touted his policies on ethanol and aid to farmers he has championed, whether in response to financial hits from multiple disasters or to help lessen the pain caused by the trade war between the United States and China, one of Iowa's largest customers in the world for soybean crops and other agriculture exports. The large public rally also came as Iowa's COVID-19 cases continue to rise. Nearly 1,500 Iowans have died from COVID-19 since March, when the coronavirus first appeared in the state. Hospitalizations from the disease rose from 463 to 473 — yet another new high for the state. The state also added 1,178 new cases, bringing the total of Iowans who tested positive to 101,866. The state's seven-day rolling average is 1,073 new cases per day, one of the highest rolling seven-day averages recorded since late August. Iowa's highest rolling seven-day average was 1,177, recorded Aug. 31. Of the 5,406 test results reported in the 24-hour period, 1,178 came back positive, while 4,228 gave negative or inconclusive results, making for a positivity rate of 21.79 percent. That's the highest positivity rate since Aug. 27, when antigen tests were added to the state's tallies. The Cedar Rapids Police Department announced Wednesday that the body of a woman officers had been searching for had been found in a Hiawatha park. The body of Sharon Hangartner, 54, was found just before 4 p.m. Wednesday in a wooded area north of Clark Park. Cedar Rapids police said that Hiawatha public safety personnel who had been assisting with the search found the body. Hangartner was reported missing and was last seen in the early morning hours on Sunday between midnight and 7 a.m. in the 6200 block of Windy Meadow Lane NE in Cedar Rapids. The Cedar Rapids Police Department confirmed the body was Hangartner's, and notified her family. Hangartner will be transported to the Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner for an autopsy. While there is still an investigation ongoing, police said that based on current information, there is no ongoing threat to the public related to this incident.

This week on the Live in Everett Podcast we talk about the Everett Farmers Market’s move to downtown, share events from the Weekly Goodness, have a chat with Ryan and Lindsey from Clark Park: Active and play Five Fast Favorites with Green Everett Partnership.

Today I sat down in the ever lively Clark Park, home of the Annual Community Unity Festival, with Philadelphia Jazz Icon Justin Faulkner. Brought up in a musical household, extremely gifted, and infinitely motivated he began his professional career at thirteen. Since then he has played with Jazz royalty such as Jimmy Heath, Orrin Evans, Sean Jones, Tim Warfield, Pharoah Sanders, Terence Blanchard, Jacky Terrasson, Christian McBride, and perhaps best known as drummer for the Branford Marsalis Quartet. We had a great conversation about a variety of topics including: the origins of The Community Unity Festival, fashion, his acting debut in the film “Bolden”, the joy of listening, coming up in Branford's band, advice for students and much more.  I hope to see you all at this year's Community Unity Festival on August 3rd at Clark Park in West Philadelphia. It's always a blast, supports a great cause, and it's free. http://communityunitymusicfest.wedid.it/campaigns/6489

In this episode, Talking Practice host Grace La interviews Jeanne Gang, founder and principal of Studio Gang, Professor in Practice at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and 2011 MacArthur Fellow. Gang describes the beginnings of Studio Gang and her desire to differ from traditional modes of practice, stating the importance of a supportive work environment and describing the role of design management within her studio. With the aim of creating better social and environmental relationships through projects like the Montparnasse Tower in Paris and the extension to the American Museum of National History in New York City, she discusses the emphasis on tectonic culture in her architectural and urban projects, and the essential combination of technology, craft, and material for her design practice. Gang gives her thoughts on the future of practice, highlighting the importance of trans-disciplinary and non-traditional practices in architecture, the benefits of collaboration, and her belief in the power of public engagement as a design strategy.

Stacey Finney guest interviews Jo-Ann Rogan, lead singer of the band Thorazine. Jo-Ann was born and raised in North Babylon, New York, a suburb of Long Island. In 1985, Jo-Ann moved to Philadelphia where she began attending Temple University for Kinesiology. Shortly after coming to Philadelphia, she connected with West Philly punks and ultimately lived at Kill Time warehouse, a punk venue and living space. Jo-Ann helped put on shows that included many local artists such as Flag of Democracy (FOD) and hosted other events in Clark Park, a West Philadelphia land mark for outdoor festivals. Prior to entering Thorazine, Jo-Ann tells wild tales of backpacking through Europe and following FOD while they were on tour there. From dancing naked on stage with FOD to hitching a ride with a driver who jerked off in front of her and a friend, she weaves the tale of a young woman sowing her adventures and exploring the world on her own terms. Jo-Ann talks about touring and living with her band mates as well as being sued by the pharmaceutical giant, Smith-Kline-Beecham for using the name Thorazine. Jo-Ann shares many stories about the band’s ten-year stint: making a music video, playing Lalapalooza, and opening for the band Fear. Jo-Ann speaks with a heavy heart about the band’s break up in 2003, but shares her excitement for their recent reunion and what is happening with them now. She also discusses some of the barriers to being a female in the Philly punk scene as well as being the mother of two special needs boys. Jo-Ann talks about how her involvement in the punk scene has taught her to be a bold advocate where her children are concerned. Additionally, Jo-Ann blogs as “Punky Mamma,” where she writes about her daily experiences as a mother, among other topics. Jo-Ann shares some unbelievable stories and, in her own words, says, “Oh, it happened and it happened to me!” Photos by Stacey Finney     The post LOUD! FAST! PHILLY!
