Senior Center Thrift Shop find makes a happy child - half a world away

One never knows just how far-reaching an act of kindness can go.

Several months ago, a participant at the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center received a special request from some friends. They are missionaries in Kosvo and they have a daughter who just turned seven years old. Little Nikol wanted a princess costume.

As it turned out, the perfect costume was found at the senior center Thrift Shop. The costume and other treats were bundled up and sent off in hopes of getting to the country before the holidays. Of course, that didn't happen, but this special package did arrive just in time for this little girl's seventh birthday! The grateful parents sent a photo of a very happy birthday girl ... and that was sent via e-mail, so got here a lot quicker than their package!

Kosvo girl as princess

You could find a treasure at the Senior Center Thrift Shop, too! Shop hours are 9:30AM to 3:30PM, Monday through Friday. Thrift Shop Volunteer Manager, Judith Enich, is looking for volunteers at this time, as well as customers. Please call the center on Mondays or Fridays and ask for Judith to see if this is a good volunteer fit for you: 206-365-1536. The Thrift Shop is a major fundraiser for the senior center.

Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center is located at 18560 1st AVE NE #1, Shoreline, and is part of the Shoreline Center campus. Phone: 206-365-1536.

Infopinion: Everyone has an opinion - Marriage Equality Act on track for passage in Washington state

By Diane Hettrick, Editor

The Marriage Equality Act, which extends the right of full and legal marriage to same-sex couples in Washington state passed the Senate on Wednesday evening. Having already passed in the House, it is expected to be passed by the full legislature sometime in the next week. Same sex marriage will be legal in Washington state.

Courtesy of TVW, I watched the live proceedings as the Senate committee on Government Operations, Tribal Relations and Elections listened to public testimony from anyone who signed up. Our Senator, Maralyn Chase, serves on this committee.

It was pretty fascinating. Religious leaders of several varieties were there. A rabbi, who said he had the largest Reform congregation in the state and was head of the Washington state Reform rabbis organization, said that Jews are in full support and see it as a matter of dignity and fairness. A Christian minister pointed out that religious organizations are not obliged to perform ceremonies just because a civil union is recognized by the state, so there's no reason for the state to hold back on religious grounds.

A Lutheran minister spoke in favor. Another Christian minister said his church was performing ceremonies for same-sex couples and was offended that the state did not honor those unions.

Representatives from the restaurant, catering, and tourist industry spoke in favor, for business and economic reasons. They envisioned more weddings, anniversaries, receptions, and suggested there would be an increase in tourism as couples came to Washington to marry.

A genial Catholic priest said that the Roman Catholic church was in opposition. A scary woman delivered a staccato speech, using every second of the alloted time to talk about the harm this would do to children and family structure. She turned out to be from out of state.

Finally, there were many stories from people in domestic partnerships, who had been bludgeoned with bureaucracy when one of the couple was hospitalized. The domestic partnerships aren't enough, they said. We were still prevented from being with our partner when they needed us.

And that was just one hour. I understand that a wedding photographer complained he would be forced to take photos of people he didn't approve of (and who would want to pay money to have that black cloud at their wedding?). The Washington state AFL-CIO endorsed, as did Microsoft and Starbucks.

The Metropolitan King County Council passed a resolution in support, as did the Shoreline City Council, unanimously.

Mayor Keith McGlashan travelled to Olympia to watch the proceedings.

Obituary: Pat Pattison, former Shoreline Schools counselor

Services will be held Thursday, February 2 for Warren “Pat” Pattison, 79, former longtime counselor in the Shoreline School District.

Pat worked at Shorecrest, Einstein and Shorewood during a 30-year career and retired in 1989.

Services will be held Thursday at 2 pm at the North Sound Church, 404 Bell St. in Edmonds.

Beck's Funeral Home in Edmonds is handling the arrangements. The full obituary is on their webpage.

Former Athletic Director Rich Gustafson said, "I got to know him when he was a counselor at Shorewood High School. The kids loved him and so did the staff. He was a true friend to all and will be missed."

Book Review by Aarene Storms: I am J

By Aarene Storms, youth services librarian

Richmond Beach Library, KCLS

I am J by Cris Beam

J has always felt misunderstood, and no wonder: his parents think he's a lesbian, his best friend Melissa think he's a girl, and his girlfriend Blue is pretty sure he's gay. But J knows that he is a boy, although he was born female. After doing some Google research, J learns about testosterone shots, and is convinced that taking "T" will fix everything in his life. But even after seeing a psychologist and starting hormone therapy, J learns that, as much as he loves them, the people in his life are still not perfect.

Readers will learn a lot about the lives of transgender teens as J attends a support group, enrolls at a school for transgender teens, and does his best to become a man in a society that isn't quite sure how to define him. The book is obviously issue-driven; however, the convincingly multi-ethnic and gender-diverse characters retrieve it from the "Afterschool Special" pile. Not everyone accepts J as he accepts himself, but there is hope.

Squeaky-clean: no cussing, no sex. References to body parts are polite. Sexual tension does not progress beyond a few exchanged kisses.

The events may not have happened; still, the story is true. --R. Silvern

Flags at half-staff on Thursday, February 2

Governor Chris Gregoire has directed flags at all Washington State agency facilities be lowered to half-staff Thursday, February 2, 2012, in memory of U. S. Army Private First Class Neil I. Turner, 21, of Tacoma, who died January 11, in Afghanistan of injuries sustained from a training accident.

Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business Thursday, or first thing Friday morning, February 3.

Other government entities, citizens and businesses are encouraged to join this recognition.

Shoreline Community College signs agreement with Taiwan Academy

Shoreline Community College President (left) and Andy Chin, Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Seattle, swap documents as they sign a letter of intent between the college and the Taiwan Academy.

By Jim Hills, SCC

The world of opportunities for Shoreline Community College students and the surrounding community just got wider.

An agreement signed on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2012, by Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert and Andy Chin, Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Seattle, opens new cultural and scholastic channels.

“This agreement will enrich campus internationalization at Shoreline, and highlights the college’s global engagement mission and reputation in Washington state, the nation and the world,” Lambert said.

The agreement, a letter of intent, is between the college and the recently established Taiwan Academy. The academy was created in October, 2011, as a public diplomacy program by the Taiwan Foreign Ministry. To date, the University of Washington is the only other college or university in the state to participate in the program.

“We welcome this partnership and look forward to strengthening the relationship with Shoreline Community College,” Director General Chin said.

Chin has served in a variety of diplomatic positions since 1992, representing Taiwan in Sweden, Latvia and Dominica. Chin took over the Seattle post on Jan. 17, replacing Daniel Liao who has moved to another diplomatic position.

For Shoreline students and faculty, the agreement means the chance to study and do research in Taiwan. The Taiwan Academy tie brings access to historical and diplomatic archives. Opportunities to learn the Chinese language will also be enhanced.

Priority opportunities for applicants to the Taiwan Fellowships and Scholarships Program are also now available.

The agreement may also ease the way for cultural exchanges, including art, music, literature and other opportunities.

For its part, the college will become a “Contact Point of the Taiwan Academy,” disseminating information on the various academy programs and working on other activities through mutual cooperation.
