SCC Softball Sweeps Bellevue College
The SCC Softball Team swept Bellevue College on Saturday, 8-2 in the first game and 7-6 in the nightcap. With the two wins, SCC moves into first place in the NWAACC Northern Region.
In game one, Mo Durant hit a three run homerun in the first inning and SCC never looked back as the Lady Dolphins scored often and Kim Kocik controlled the mound for SCC, only giving up two runs to the BC offensive attack.
The second game was a different story, as SCC rallied from a 3-1 deficient in the 7th inning to tie the score and push the game to extra innings. Shoreline scored 4 runs in the top of 9th to take a 7-3 lead, but watched the lead disappear as Bellevue rallied themselves in the bottom of the 9th to cut the lead to 7-6 with runners on 1st and 2nd with one out, but SCC turned a double play to end the inning and win the game.

SCC is now 10-8 overall and 5-1 in the NWAACC Northern Region. Bellevue falls to 14-5 overall and 4-2 in the region. SCC has two weeks off before it resumes Northern Region play on April 23.

SCC Women's Basketball Coach Resigns
Alisa Scott, Head Women's Basketball Coach at Shoreline Community College, has resigned her position at the college. Coach Scott spent one season with the Lady Dolphin Basketball Team, going 3-21 overall and 2-14 in the NWAACC Northern Region. Coach Scott left to pursue full-time coaching opportunities.
The SCC Women's Basketball Program has had four head coaches in the past 4 seasons, with the 2006-07 team having to cancel the majority of the season due to the lack of players. Rhonda Smith, Derrick Witt, Steve Eskridge and now Alisa Scott have coached the team the past four seasons.

"We appreciate the efforts Coach Scott gave to our program and she will be missed. She took over a program that was in disarray and gave it stability. She worked hard, she never gave up during a tough season and I wish she could have found a full-time job in the area so she could have remained our coach, I think she could have built a solid program here. But we only have part-time coaches at Shoreline CC and that is the nature of the beast that we face in our coaching staff sometimes.

"We have started the search process and hopefully we can name a coach in the next two weeks. Recruiting season is in full swing and our team is behind the eight ball again as far as finding players for next year go. We have a solid core of players returning, including Ana Haberman, the #1 scorer in the NWAACC, but we need some key recruits to start our program back toward the positive side of the win/loss record" stated Palmer.

Evan Smith: Fairley describes support for, opposition to budget deal
By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer
Since the announcement of the tax package to close the State budget gap, legislators have been getting messages from constituents.
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer
Since the announcement of the tax package to close the State budget gap, legislators have been getting messages from constituents.
Democratic Sen. Darlene Fairley (pictured) sent examples of hundreds of letters, faxes and e-mails that have come to her, urging support of the compromise tax package. Most pleaded for passage of the tax package to protect public education, the basic health plan, and programs for children, the elderly and the handicapped, including a letter from a housing advocacy group.
A note from a children’s advocacy group emphasized the need to avoid further cuts to education and praised the taxes on candy, soda pop and other unhealthy products. A note from someone who works with mentally disabled people noted how that group could be hurt by budget cuts, and praised the proposed cutting of tax loopholes and the tax on cigarettes and the temporary taxes on beer and soda pop.
She also got a note from someone in the bottling business describing the hardship the soda-pop tax would put on his business.
Fairley represents the 32nd Legislative District, including Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, the Finn Hill area of Kirkland. Woodway, unincorporated Esperance and part of Edmonds.

SCC Gallery features woodblock prints by Walt Padgett
The woodblock prints of Oregon artist, Walt Padgett are on exhibit at the College Gallery at Shoreline Community College through May 4.
Padgett, a painter and sculptor, began making woodcuts in 1976, hand printed in the western tradition, but when he witnessed an exhibition and demonstration of the Japanese woodblock printing method in 1978, he became enthralled. He completed an intensive one month of study at the Yoshida Hanga Academy in Tokyo in 1983 and has made three subsequent trips to Japan since.
He bicycled the route of the ancient Tokaido Road in search of the actual places and landscapes depicted in the famous woodblock prints by Andy Hiroshige and Jun’ichiro Sekino.

“My main passion is Japanese woodblock printmaking and sources of imagery that can be found in Japanese culture and history,” Padgett said.
Padgett’s current work reflects both western and eastern influences.
Shoreline Community College is located at 16101 Greenwood Ave N, west of Aurora Ave and just north of Seattle city limits. The college gallery is located in the Administration building (1000). Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, Monday – Thursday, and 8 am to 4:30 pm, Friday.

Happy 101st Birthday to Sherm Mills
Sherm Mills blows out the candles on his birthday cake.
April 5th was the day that Sherm Mills celebrated his 101st birthday. His business was Mills Marina at 17220 Aurora Ave N, the property that Aurora Rents used until the recent Aurora project. He was active in the Shoreline business community in the 1960s.. He is now living at Sunrise of Edmonds.
Sherm's daughter Jan (Ron) Hanson is a long-time Shoreline community volunteer. She says "His memory is better than mine and he has a treasure of history in his head. He remembers Judge Ronald’s home sitting up in the air as Aurora cut through."
Rep Inslee sent a flag that was flown in his honor last year for his 100th; the flag still flies proudly on the Sunrise flagpole at 750 Edmonds Way.

Neighborhoods in Shoreline
by Nora Smith, Shoreline Neighborhood Coordinator
Have you ever wondered who organizes the neighborhood Block Watch, orchestrates the community garage sale or keeps track of important issues such as traffic, land use or local improvements? Volunteers like you! Often this type of community organizing happens through a neighborhood group.
Top photo: Echo Lake neighbors spruce up Echo Lake Park every July – and then picnic together. This year's event is July 20, 2010.
When the City of Shoreline incorporated 15 years ago, it was divided into 14 neighborhoods. Volunteers create a sense of community in their neighborhoods by organizing social events, coordinating crime prevention activities, implementing projects, planning speakers and sharing information through newsletters and websites.

Shoreline Community College Dental Hygiene Program
by Donna Myers
The SCC Dental Hygiene Clinic provides a service to community members that cannot be overlooked. Going to the dentist for routine procedures such as exams, x-rays, cleaning and minor fillings is unattainable for many of our neighbors, and our clinic has provided these services for modest fees for over 40 years. meets community and professional needs Students get hands-on training while helping people who cannot afford dental insurance. The clinic provides these services to patients from age four and up to seniors.
Recently, the DH Program moved into another community, partnering with the King County Dental Society, Seattle Care Dentistry and The Northwest Kidney Centers to provide treatment for patients who are on kidney dialysis.
Now, thanks to the partnerships, these patients have found hope. One patient they have helped has now been approved for a transplant. Baker says they are currently seeing several kidney dialysis patients.
The program has also just begun a partnership with 7028 Life Enhancement Charitable Trust to provide dental hygiene treatment to for patients who qualify for their trust.
Baker says that in the 34 years she has been at Shoreline, this is the first time the clinic is doing this kind of partnership.
“What a way to go out,” Baker said, who is retiring in August.
SCC DH Program hosts regional educators conference
To go hand-in-hand with the theme of helping others, the Shoreline Community College Dental Hygiene Program will feature Dr. Britt Yamamoto at the Northwest Dental Hygiene Educators Conference on campus, Friday, April 9 and Saturday, April 10. Faculty from all nine dental hygiene schools and programs across Washington State will attend, including some from Portland, Ore. Yamamoto will talk about service learning and the Dental Hygiene education arena, discussing the opportunities and challenges for integrated learning. SCC Service Learning Coordinator Kaelyn Caldwell will present about the Americorps VISTA Program as will a number of other dental professionals who will share latest research findings and opportunities.

Recently, the DH Program moved into another community, partnering with the King County Dental Society, Seattle Care Dentistry and The Northwest Kidney Centers to provide treatment for patients who are on kidney dialysis.
“They have to have a healthy mouth in order to be placed on a transplant list,” says Dental Hygiene Director Marianne Baker, “and we’re here to help them achieve that.”
Getting a healthy mouth is a real challenge for people on dialysis, Baker says, explaining that the procedure requires four hours a day several times a week, making it very difficult to find a fulltime job that provides health insurance. “These people rely on medical coupons,” Baker says, ‘and most dental offices don’t accept the coupons because DSHS reimburse so little. It’s tragic.”
Now, thanks to the partnerships, these patients have found hope. One patient they have helped has now been approved for a transplant. Baker says they are currently seeing several kidney dialysis patients.

A construction project to help the state Public Health Laboratories meet the increasing demands of disease investigation began today in Shoreline with the groundbreaking for the construction of a new wing for the public health lab located next to the Fircrest site on 15th NE.
The project will improve efficiency, ensure safety for staff and the community, and bolster capacity for disease and environmental testing.
At the groundbreaking ceremony today, Secretary of Health Mary Selecky said the project will benefit all state residents. “Whether it’s newborn screening, tracking a foodborne illness, testing for tuberculosis, or monitoring disease outbreaks like the H1N1 flu, our laboratories are on the forefront of infectious disease investigation and environmental testing and monitoring.”
Selecky says the project is on time and within its budget. The groundbreaking starts construction after four years of planning. The addition provides more space for laboratory storage, receiving, and customer service.
Shoreline Deputy Mayor Will Hall says "The Health Lab helps monitor and protect the health of people, water and food across Washington State. It has been a part of our community since 1985, and it is a partner in our city's emergency planning. The Health Lab is also important to our local economy, providing good jobs for 150 people. The expansion that broke ground today will help the Health Lab meet our state's needs now and in the future."
The Public Health Laboratories provide testing for public and private health organizations across the state. Testing is performed by nationally recognized scientists in the areas of communicable disease, shellfish testing, environmental monitoring, and newborn screening. More than five million tests are performed at the facility every year.
The Public Health Laboratories facility, built in 1985, is an important link in the public health system both in the state and the nation.

Restaurant Review: Richmond Beach Grill House
By Patty Price
Richmond Beach Grill House
1430 NW Richmond Beach Rd
Shoreline 98177, 206-546-5000

My husband Ron and I had a pleasant surprise Tuesday night when we went to the Grill House by the bowling alley, there on Richmond Beach Road.
There have been several restaurants in that location which we tried now and then, but had no inclination to return very soon.
This time. WOW! The meal was served hot (important to us), and gigantic portions of pasta and vegetables plus enough of the main dish (chicken breast) to furnish us with leftovers a couple of nights later, and still as good.
I ordered Chicken Marsala with a vegetable mixture of corn, broccoli (which I don't love, but this was wonderful), carrots & other little bits of stuff, plus huge pan-seared mushrooms and marvelous spaghetti garlic pasta. Ron had Salmon Fettuccine Alfredo made with heavy cream and sherry, yummy - and both each cost only $9.99.
They have burgers, pizza, sandwiches, meats (prime rib next time). You can get a copy of the menu and they have orders to go.
Hours: open at 11:30 am every day and closing at 10 pm, 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday and 9 pm on Sunday.

By Craig Degginger, Shoreline Schools
Tim Murray, English teacher at Shorewood High School, is the first 2010 recipient of the Seattle Sounders FC Golden Scarf. Murray was honored on April 3 prior to the Sounders match against the New York Red Bulls.
In the club's inaugural season in 2009, the club established a tradition before the match starts that puts on display the intense passion of Seattle's soccer community.
The club selects a member of the community that is presented with a special gold scarf, which has come to symbolize the game of soccer, which they raise over their heads, signaling to the fans to do the same.
Murray was nominated for the honor by his wife, Kate Laughlin, and selected in a vote of Sounders fans.
Tim grew up playing soccer and was eventually recruited to Chicago's Croatian League, playing all over, including Europe. He went to college in Ohio on a partial scholarship, and has continued to play in various leagues here. He serves as coach of his son's team in Ballard.
Tim is the long-time adviser to his school"s Interact Club, which is the student branch of Rotary International. The club performs community service throughout the school year. Tim is also a volunteer facilitator for his neighborhood library's book group, and assists with volunteer activities at his children's schools. He also participates every year in his family's MS Walk team, Team Laugh.

"Talk with Tim for just 5 minutes, and you'll be amazed at the depth of his knowledge and passion for the beautiful game," his nomination read in part. "He embodies the ideal of community: works in service every day as a teacher, then keeps on giving more."

Fairley says she hopes budget deal will end special session
By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer
The Legislature apparently has reached an agreement on the State budget that will bring the special session to an end, but 32nd District Sen. Darlene Fairley told me Wednesday night that she is holding her breath, hoping that the agreement gets approved before the session reaches its scheduled end next week.
Fairley said that leaders of the Senate and House had polled members about the settlement negotiated between budget teams from the Senate and House Democratic caucuses.
Leaders say that they have the votes to pass the package that includes no general sales-tax increase but does include a tax on bottled water, temporary tax increases on beer and soda pop, and a surcharge on the business-and-occupations tax.

“There is still so much to talk about and things could go sideways,” Fairley said. “After 16 years. I've seen it happen. So I'm holding my breath until midnight Tuesday.”Read more...
