Mount Zions affordable senior housing development hoped to help address displacement and gentrification could begin construction as soon as this summer.
The property is on 19th Ave just north of Madison and is being developed by Mount Zion Housing Development, the housing arm of the nearby Mount Zion Baptist Church. The property is currently occupied by the Price Arms apartments on a lot shaped roughly like a triangle with one end cut off. The existing building, a two-story, four-unit apartment building that county tax records indicate was built in 1901, would be demolished. Mount Zion housing has owned the property for decades.
The project will add to a small wave of new housing for seniors in the area and could be part of a series of new buildings related to Mount Zion as one of Seattles leading Black churches moves forward on long-held plans to develop its property holdings.

Plans first began taking shape in late 2019 for the senior housing project but have changed a bit as theyve gone through review. Final plans call for a six-stories above ground and one below, according to Sam Cameron of Rolluda Architects. Inside there will be 61 units, including a mix of studio and one-bedrooms, with some of the units set aside for veterans. The plan also includes space for group meetings or activities, and a roof deck. The housing is going to be rented at prices designed to be affordable to people making between 30% and 60% of the area median income.
Initial plans had called for two ground level spaces for retail uses, but those have been nixed, Cameron said. Instead there will be a ground level community space and no commercial space along 19th Ave.
There was limited public comment during the review process, but the few written comments surrounded parking. The building had been planned to have seven spots, which commenters considered too few. They noted many in that age group still drive, and also that they might receive visitors who would need a place to park.
The new plans cut parking back even further, allowing for four spots to be used by service vehicles, Cameron said. City regulations do not require any parking for this project.
The building is for seniors, defined as people ages 55 and older. The developers plan for culturally relevant and linguistically competent services to be available and to target the units to seniors who have been displaced or are at risk of being displaced because of gentrification. The design and colors are hoped to reflect the African diaspora.
Its just behind another Mount Zion Housing project, McKinney Manor on Madison. The developer plans to use the adjacency to help link the two buildings.
Last spring, the project went through an administrative process as Seattle has moved affordable projects out of the standard and longer design review. The administrative process is typically faster than the standard process of going before the review board, and is permitted in cases like this one which involve publicly funded developments. In this case, the project is drawing on funding from the city of Seattle Office of Housing, King County Housing, and the state Housing Trust Fund.
Cameron said they expect to begin construction in July and complete it by December 2022.
The 19th Ave project could be part of a small wave of new development for seniors hoping to stay or become part of the Capitol Hill and Central District communities. Community Roots Housing is developing LGBTQ-affirming affordable senior housing project The Eldridge on Broadway between Pine and Pike.

CAIRO Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Tuesday said opposition views should be expressed only under certain conditions that he believes are useful to directly improving citizens lives.
This makes political reforms contingent on the calculations of the Egyptian regime, which is now ready to make concessions in favour of spontaneous popular opposition while rejecting any compromise with the political opposition in order to not appear weak.
Sisi said that the Egyptian people have the right to express their opinions and objections, but only if they are forms of valid opposition.
The president made the comment at the inauguration of the Integrated Medical Complex in Ismailia Governorate, east of Cairo.
If the goal of expressing opinions or political opposition is to improve peoples conditions and lives, Sisi said, then people have the right to express their opinions and make objections. If people speak out to warn the state of a problem, he said, then this is acceptable, so long as they are well informed.
Egypt is serious, honest, and sincere in facing its challenges, which will ease the burden on opinion and opposition, said Sisi. Say whatever you want, but please as you speak, look and listen.
International media have increasingly criticised Cairos restrictions on freedoms following statements by the administration of US President Joe Biden on human rights, freedoms and democracy in many countries, including Egypt.
The Egyptian government recently responded to many popular demands, agreeing to discontinue certain development projects that locals complained would have a negative impact on their lives. On the other hand, however, authorities have refused many political parties demands for reforms that would enable them to exercise their role. The Egyptian government, experts say, seems to prefer the peoples clamour over the parties peaceful moves.
By tolerating disorganised public clamour, the government has come under increased pressure and paid a heavy price, facing opposition for every unpopular decision it makes.
Over the years, the popular clamour has grown into a dangerous weapon that many have used to reach their goals, knowing that the government usually bows to such pressure.
A few days ago, government sources were forced to deny news that a bridge was being constructed next to the Basilica church in the Heliopolis area east of Cairo. With its denial, the government sources tried to absorb the anger of the mob, which did not fully settle until assurances were provided to various parties that the bridge would not be constructed.
Locals had shared posts on social media opposing the construction of the Ismailia Bridge in the Heliopolis neighbourhood, which is 2km long and passes by the Church of the Virgin Mary a heritage church established 110 years ago to the Ittihadiya Presidential Palace and the Heliopolis Sports Club.
Church officials expressed solidarity with the locals and also opposed the project for security and spiritual reasons. They argued that the bridge would make it easier for terrorists to access the church and that the sound of traffic overhead would inconvenience the place of worship.
The Basilica, in solidarity with the Maronite Church and the Greek Orthodox Church, sent a letter to Egypts parliament speaker, the speaker of the Senate, and the prime minister to express their opposition to the bridges construction. The Basilica also intended to address the president before the project was withdrawn.
The project adjacent to the Basilica was not the only one that the government opted to withdraw. The authorities reportedly stopped implementing many provisions on building violations.
After growing popular opposition, the government also promised to study the idea of withdrawing the Cairo Eye project in Obelisk Park near the Nile River at the entrance to the island of the upscale Zamalek neighbourhood in Cairo, close to the Egyptian Opera House, which replicates the London Eye.
The Cairo Eye project, an entertaining 120-metre high rotating wheel, includes 48 cabins and allows visitors to see about 50km from Cairo. The project is owned and implemented by Hawaii, and is estimated to attract 205 million visitors per year.
The Egyptian government appears to be practicing a new kind of democracy, through which it wants to win the peoples blessing rather than opposition parties, which face many political restrictions.
Geographical concerns were at the heart of the controversy that accompanied the Heliopolis and Zamalek projects, and criticism was largely from citizens living in those areas. Experts say the peoples opposition is limited in scope while political parties often criticise political visions and trends, not just small service or tourism projects.
The announced projects, the experts argue, have no political implications, and the discussions regarding them focused on considerations related to citizens perception and the direct impact on their lives.
The government apparently responds to citizens cries because peoples actions do not include specific political goals. By responding to popular demands, authorities want to communicate that they are in touch with the pulse of the street and push back against allegations that they arrogantly deal with public affairs. The government also wants to impose its political vision, including on issues such as human rights, which it views as limited to access to food, drinking water and clothing, and does not include the issue of freedoms.
The governments perception of the oppositions role means that dissidents are expected to conform to general policies and not voice certain disagreements. Such opposition usually includes parties or figures that are tolerated and close to the regime.
The government refuses to allow the opposition to play an open role under the pretext that Muslim Brotherhood members could use it to infiltrate the political scene again. All these factors have encouraged the government to create a new approach that forces it to make more concessions and withdraw more development projects, especially those that could anger a large segment of the population.
Political analyst Jamal Asaad Abdel-Malak said that the rise of popular opposition is something that many countries of the world are witnessing, and is in line with the rising concept of populism, which is the antithesis of representative democracy.
While the influence of political parties diminished and the role of the local councils in expressing peoples views retreated, the public space opened for popular campaigns, he explained.
Abdel-Malak told The Arab Weekly that the Egyptian publics interest in the projects of the Heliopolis Bridge and the Cairo Eye has links to the geographical scope inside the capital, which includes areas where the elite of politicians, journalists, writers and community stars reside. The elite have reported what is going on in the street to the media, then the popular opposition was able to impose itself, accompanied by public support that may be absent in many other cases.
Observers say that the absence of community dialogue on current projects is one reason mob opposition emerged, posing a threat to development projects the government has invested heavily in.

St. Paul, MN (KROC-AM News) - Minnesota's Health Commissioner has set a goal of having all of Minnesota senior citizens at least partially immunized against COVID-19 by the end of next month.
Jan Malcolm made the announcement this morning concerning Minnesotans who are age 65 and older. At last report, a bit over a third of the state's senior population had received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Overall, the most recent report from the state indicates over 710,000 Minnesotans have now received at least one dose and over 264,000 have had both vaccination shots.
State health officials note that Minnesota's allocation of vaccine doses has increased nearly 30 percent since January but recent deliveries have been hampered by the snow and ice storms affecting parts of the country. Yesterday, Olmsted County Public Health had to postpone a vaccination clinic because an expected shipment of the vaccine did not arrive and there have been similar reports of delayed shipments in other parts of the state.
The Minnesota Department today reported 14 coronavirus-related deaths and a Mower County resident between 30 and 34 years old was on that list. The state reported 928 new COVID-19 cases throughout Minnesota, including another 26 infections in Olmsted County. The daily testing positivity rate was down to about three percent based on over 31,000 tests completed on Wednesday.
The overall number of Minnesotans hospitalized due to COVID-19 is the lowest reported in almost 5 months. The latest count from Wednesday was 287 with 54 of the patients in intensive care. It marked the first time the overall hospitalization total has been below 300 since September 21 and the ICU total is the lowest since last spring.

The legal and political battle between New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell and Parallel Products is about to take another twist and become more complicated.
Parallel Products wants to expand operations in the New Bedford Industrial Park. The project will bring more than $50 million in private investment to the city along with an estimated $1 million dollars in additional taxes and approximately 100 jobs to the region. The project will also result in more truck and car traffic to the industrial park and the trucks will be filled with various types of waste products.
This expansion project is going to be approved by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and then it is going to go to the New Bedford Board of Health for approval or rejection.
Earlier this year, the New Bedford City Council finally passed an ordinance overhauling the residency requirements for some city employees and all appointees to local government boards. Mayor Mitchell vetoed the ordinance, but his veto was overridden by 10 of the 11 councilors.
The members of the Board of Health are now governed by this ordinance. Only city residents can serve on the board and that means two of the three current members are either going to move to the city from Dartmouth, or Mayor Mitchell will eventually have to find two new board members to serve.
The board is currently all medical doctors and even though two members live outside of the city, they have deep roots in the city. Are there any medical professionals who live in the city and are willing and able during the COVID-19 pandemic to serve on the Board of Health?
Stay tuned.

The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino will come down once and for all via an implosion today at 9 am. You can view it online. Here's how.
The City of Atlantic City will be streaming it on their website. Click here to view that stream. It'll happen around 9 am. The exact start time could be a few minutes before or after.
Here's a video where you can view the demolition live, via 6ABC:
The immediate area around the building is closed to the public, as you can imagine for safety purposes.
The city of Atlantic City has opened a viewing area at the nearby Bader Field. Guests are encouraged to watch the implosion from outside of their vehicles. They're charging $10 per car, and social distancing will be followed, our sister station Cat Country 107.3 reported.
In 2007, more than 100,000 visitors attended the implosion of the Sands Casino. The event included a fireworks display and more on a Friday night.
Trump Plaza opened in 1984. It closed in 2014, and the structure has since fallen in disrepair.
The cleanup will take some time. The target date for the final cleanup is estimated to be before the summer.
The future of the site isn't known at this time. The building's current owner, billionaire investor Carl Icahn, has not announced any plans for the site.
Here's an alternate view of the demolition from Earthcam via YouTube:

There may be snow on the ground right now, but spring is right around the corner.
With that comes the scramble to get ready for gardening season and the resumption of yard waste collection in the Central Okanagan, which will begin for the year on March 1.
Rae Stewart, the Regional District of Central Okanagans waste reduction facilitator, says that means its time to do a pre-season check up of your yard waste cart.
Make sure to take out any materials that dont belong and may have landed in your yard waste cart by mistake over the winter months, she explained.
Anything at all that is not yard waste and could damage equipment or compromise the composting process must be removed before you put your cart out at the curb.
That includes plastics, flower pots, garbage, bags of any kind, pet waste, recycling materials, rocks, sod or soil.
Its vitally important to keep those kinds of materials out of your cart, as yard waste collected subside is composed and given new life as a valuable soil enhancer.
Last year alone, the program collected just under 15,000 tonnes of yard waste at the curb and turned it into high quality compost instead of it being buried at the landfill, said an RDCO release.
Yard waste, which includes leaves, tree needles, branches, prunings under five centimetres in diameter and one metre in length, wood chips, barks, plants, fruit droppings and grass clippings are all acceptable.
For more information on yard waste collection, or to inquire about purchasing or replacing a cart, visit the RDCO website.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The white flag is out. The leader of the race has the hammer down, but both eyes are glued to the rearview mirror. What he sees is a pack of angry, onrushing race cars that want to be where he is. Then suddenly, that leader is no longer the leader. The pack is no longer a pack. It is a scrapyard. Meanwhile, someone who wasn't the leader is now the leader and not only that, they are also the newest champion of the biggest stock car race in the world.
Shortly after midnight on Monday, that's exactly how it went down at the Daytona 500. That's how Michael McDowell wound up driving his underfunded, likable loser, Pittsburgh Pirates of a Front Row Motorsports Ford into NASCAR's most hallowed Victory Lane. Not Joey Logano, the leader with half a lap remaining, only a mile from his second Daytona 500 victory. Not Brad Keselowski, the second place-running former series champion whose only missing jewel is a win in the sport's most prestigious event.
Nope. They both ended up in the fence, along with six other machines that were sliding, colliding, some exploding into flames while others flung mud and sod into the air. McDowell drag raced defending Cup champ Chase Elliott and 2018 Daytona 500 winner Austin Dillon to the finish before the caution flag froze the field and ended the race.
Keselowski said: "I don't feel like I made a mistake, but I can't drive everybody else's car. So frustrating.''
Logano said: "Pandemonium, I guess. Chaos struck."
McDowell said: "I know a lot of people are mad. I know a lot of people are asking, 'Who the heck is Michael McDowell and how is he wearing this Daytona 500 ring?' Joey went one way, Brad went the other, and it was like watching a door open."

When told that people (more specifically, internet people) were questioning how that door opened -- as in, he'd used his front bumper to open it -- the racer who'd just ended a career 0-for-357 winless streak smiled, shrugged and chuckled.
"This is the Daytona 500, man," McDowell said. "If you were shocked or surprised at how that just happened, then you haven't been watching this race, certainly not in recent years."
The racer they call McDriver is McCorrect. Last-lap crashes and lead changes used to be the Daytona 500 exception. There's a reason we grew up with constant replays of Richard Petty and David Pearson in the frontstretch grass in 1976 and "There's a fight!" between Cale Yarborough and the Alabama Gang in 1979. They were very literally extraordinary moments. Back in the day, that kind of last-lap, no-idea-who'll-win stuff never happened.
Now it happens every year. Chaos and pandemonium are the modus operandi. The Great American Race has become the Joie Chitwood Thrill Show.
To paraphrase the great philosopher Richard Flair, you can love it or you can hate it, but you'd better sit down and look at it, because this is what the Daytona 500 is today.
Over the first 57 editions of the 500, there was a lead change on the final lap nine times. Now it's happened four times in six years. And that's only the official lap leader stat, scored at the start-finish line. It doesn't count an exchange such as one year ago, when Ryan Newman took the lead during the white flag lap and held down the point all the way into the tri-oval before getting turned into the wall his now-famous crash as winner Denny Hamlin streaked by.
Before 2017, no one had ever won the Daytona 500 by leading only the final lap of the race. Michael McDowell was the third driver to do it in the last five years.
So, what exactly does all this mean? Should we feel manipulated because these finishes might be the product of a system increasingly rigged to create parity? Should we be wrestling with our motorsports morality because today's Great American Race is so much different than the ones won by the Greatest Generation? Have we sold our stock car souls in the name of better-than-CGI imagery of crashes and flames and banzai move finish-line heroics straight out of Mario Kart?
E60 explores the legacy of Dale Earnhardt 20 years after his death. Stream now on demand
Is General Maximus about to throw his hands into the air and expose our lust for more by exclaiming, "Are you not entertained?!"
"I don't know about all that," McDowell said in an empty Victory Lane early Monday morning, watching and rewatching the video of his move into the lead. It was the first time he'd seen it, and his eyes grew large as the crash unfolded and the reporter's smartphone screen became orange with the images of flames.
"As a sports fan, all you can ask for is not knowing what's coming next, right? The big finish at the end," he continued. "You never know what's coming next in this race. Certainly not these days. So, it's pretty entertaining and fun, I would think."
McDowell paused, turned and pointed to the massive Harley J. Earl Trophy behind him. Track workers were already bolting on a silver plate freshly engraved with his name, alongside the likes of Petty, Pearson, Earnhardt and a lot former Daytona 500 winners whom he'd just outrun, including would-be winner Logano, who had come by moments earlier to congratulate McDowell in person.
"Entertaining and fun. I guess that's easy for me to say, isn't it?"

Opportunity seldom knocks twice. As the town of Swampscott embarks upon the siting of a new elementary school, I can hear it knocking.
Here, at the planning stage, the town has the opportunity to ensure that the new school is environmentally sustainable, protects neighboring natural areas, and provides ample open space for play and learning. It will be much harder and more expensive to incorporate energy saving and sustainable solutions after the project is completed, rather than now at the design phase.
Why is this important? Its because open space - not just classroom space - is vital to our childrens education. Research consistently shows that access to open space, especially natural green open space, promotes cognitive, physical, social and emotional wellbeing. In designing the new school, we need to expand open space wherever possible, and protect the existing natural and conservation areas we already have. Further, incorporating environmentally sustainability and energy efficient measures now, will likely save the town money in the long run.
The conservancy has shared its recommendations on the Stanley School site with the School Building Committee and the towns consultants. These recommendations include the following:
The opportunities go beyond what happens outside the new building. There are opportunities to enhance what happens inside the school as well. In particular, we believe there needs to be a commitment by the town to fund environmental education programs and to explicitly incorporate them into the schools curriculum. To that end, the conservancy has offered its assistance in developing a site-specific curriculum that includes MA-STE aligned standards that meet the needs of the educator, family, and student communities.
At the recent SBC public forum, the conservancy was happy to hear that the towns consultants are committed to preserving and creating high quality open space, preserving and restoring trees, using native plantings, and creating a rain garden. We hope that the town wholeheartedly support the recommendations of the conservancy and take full advantage of this opportunity to improve nature in our neighborhood and our childrens lives.
Lets seize this fleeting moment and achieve long-lasting benefits for our town.
Toni Bandrowicz, chairman of the Swampscott Conservation Commission and president of the Swampscott Conservancy, pens the monthly Nature in the Neighborhood column through a partnership between the conservancy and the Swampscott Reporter.
