Iraq veto draws polite protesters downtown
It was, some onlookers observed, an Edmonds kind of protest May 2 when several dozen persons opposing the U.S. government’s policy on the Iraq war gathered near the roundabout fountain to make their views known.
Standing at the four corners of Fifth Avenue and Main Street from about 5-6 p.m., the protesters held small signs, waved to motorists and stepped aside for pedestrians using the sidewalks. Edmonds police had no report of complaints from protesters or observers.
Protesters, who were joined by a few passers-by, voiced opposition to the president’s veto of the Iraq spending bill and support of removing U.S. troops from Iraq, explained Stephen Bernheim, a community activist who participated.
Kindness no stranger to history of Edmonds
A single winner closed out the April history trivia contest sponsored by the Greater Edmonds Chamber of Commerce.
Barbara Kindness of Edmonds, a volunteer with the Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission, won $50 for knowing that only two chamber meetings were held in 1914. Clues to answers to the weekly questions were woven throughout the chamber exhibit in the Edmonds Museum located at 118 Fifth Ave. N.
The contest may be over but the public is encouraged to visit the museum to see the chamber’s display as well as other rotating and permanent ones. Museum hours are 1-4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
