Bartell Drugs sponsors the Walk for Hope for women's cancer research

Thursday, September 23, 2010

Bartell Drugs will be joining the fight against women's cancers as a sponsor of the City of Hope's annual Walk for Hope on Sunday, October 3 at Seattle's Warren G. Magnuson Park.

Walk for Hope brochures are available at camera and pharmacy counters at all Bartell Drugs locations. Visit the website for more information or to register for the Walk.

City of Hope's Walk for Hope is the only national series of walks that directly benefits research, treatment and education programs for cancers unique to women. City of Hope has more than 40 collaborations with cancer and medical centers in Washington, including Fred Hutchinson, University of Washington, Children's Hospital and others.

Through its multidisciplinary Women's Cancers Program, City of Hope is working to improve outcomes for women with breast and gynecological cancers. Researchers are investigating risk factors for ovarian and endometrial cancers, as well as interventions that could reduce those risks. Scientists also are identifying potential therapies, including targeted treatments and prevention methods, and exploring the challenges experienced by women undergoing treatment for breast and gynecologic cancers to improve treatment-related complications for survivors.

Seattle Chocolates' Survivor Chick(r) chocolate bars are now on sale at Bartell's through the end of October-with $1.50 from each $2.99 bar sold benefiting life-saving research, treatment and education at City of Hope. Also available at Bartell's are Walk for Hope reusable totes for $1.99-where $1.00 from the purchase of each bag is donated directly to City of Hope.

Founded in Seattle in 1890, Bartell Drugs owns and operates stores in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. Family-owned and operated, it is the nation's oldest drugstore chain.

The Shoreline Bartell Drugs is in Gateway Plaza at N 185 between Midvale and Aurora.

Smoke alarms find new homes


The Northshore Fire Department is conducting a pilot program to install 100 smoke alarms in three mobile home parks in the fire district.

The ten-year lithium battery smoke alarms were provided through a grant from the Washington State Department of Health. Statistics have shown that residents of mobile homes have an increased risk of death and injury from fire.

In addition, the Northshore Fire Department will provide fire safety materials, including appropriate materials for non-English speaking residents. The smoke alarms will be installed by fire department personnel and volunteers. Volunteer interpreters will also be available to assist with the non-English speaking residents.

The Northshore Fire Department hopes to extend this program to other mobile home parks in the future.

Smoke alarms save lives. Be sure to install smoke alarms on every level in your home, test them monthly and replace the battery every year (unless it is a 10-year lithium battery). It is recommended that smoke alarms be replaced after 10 years.

Point Wells neighbors say project will swamp area


Seattle Times reporter Lynn Thompson attended the Point Wells open house on Thursday, September 23, and filed this story:

Frustrated residents of Shoreline and Woodway told the developer of a proposed mixed-use project at Point Wells that a dense residential development of condominiums in towers up to 17 stories high would overwhelm their roads and put public safety at risk.

About 200 community members attended an open house Thursday night sponsored by Blue Square Real Estate Point Wells, which has proposed dismantling and cleaning up the fuel-transfer operations at the site and building upscale condos, shops and restaurants on the 61 acres jutting into Puget Sound.

SCC Global Affairs Center to host Human Migration Symposium Tuesdays, Oct 19 – Nov 18


What is the history of immigration in the U.S., what drives it, and what are its implications? Is political asylum part of the larger debate about immigration or a complicated side issue in an era of clashing civilizations?

These topics will be discussed at a five-session Symposium on Human Migration at Shoreline Community College, beginning October 19.

The college’s Global Affairs Center is sponsoring the 90-minute evening sessions to stimulate critical thinking and engagement on issues that bear tremendous political and economic repercussions.

The sessions will begin at 7 pm in the Student Union Building (9000), PUB 9208.
  • October 19 The Good, the Bad and Confusing of U.S. Immigration Policy  (History, economics and moral issues surrounding U.S. immigration policy.)
  • October 26 Advocates’ Views, (Debate on U.S. immigration policy with representatives of rights groups.)
  • November 2 Assets or Liabilities? (The politics of immigration in Europe and their parallels in the U.S.)
  • November 9 Internal Migration: China’s Achilles Heel? (Population shifts in China and their effects.)
  • November 16 Political Asylum in an Age of Clashing Cultures (Current laws and practices in U.S.)

Additionally, 60 minute day-time roundtable discussions will take place from 12:30 to 1:30 pm October 27 – November 18 in the PUB (rooms vary). Students and community members will share their personal immigration experiences. Representatives from local organizations will also talk about their work with refugees and immigrants.

Baby Harbor Seal at Richmond Beach

Wednesday, September 22, 2010


Baby Harbor Seal on Richmond Beach.  Photo by Allan Bain.
From Tracy Tallman

Allan Bain, Richmond Beach resident and dog-walker, stumbled upon a baby Harbor Seal at Richmond Beach on Tuesday, September 21, and gave me a call. After digging around a bit on the internet, I found the “Northwest Marine Mammal Stranding Network” online. A call to their NW Regional Office in Seattle at 206-526-6733 (message machine) resulted in a quick return call from “Kristin” who called Allan for an exact location of the baby seal.  She then dispatched the Shoreline Parks Department to put a fence around the baby. 

Babies are left on the beach by their mothers and the mother will not retrieve the baby if it has been touched by humans or dogs, hence the protective fence.

So, to all you dog-walkers and beach-strollers, please put 206-526-6733 in your cell phone and contact Kristin for a quick response and maybe save a baby seal on your outing.

Letter to the Editor: Cindy Ryu is the clear choice

To the Editor:

I read Ms. Wacker’s recent endorsement letter with some amusement. Yes, educational achievement, having endured emotional and financial hardship, and caring about the needs of citizens’ are all things that should matter to us as voters. But, these qualities are not unique to Ms. Wacker’s candidate. Indeed, all exist in abundance in Cindy Ryu.

I must add that simply because one has taken a physician’s oath, it should not make us feel that no harm could result from inexperience in legislative efforts. We need someone who can be effective and get things done.

Besides personal story and character, it’s extremely important for our elected officials to have relevant experience and proven track record. I have nothing but confidence in the Democrats’ Candidate for this seat in our State House of Representatives. Cindy Ryu has served the community well in so many ways in the past, and I will be proud to vote for her.

Cindy Ryu is the clear choice.

Shoreline Point Wells open house Thursday, September 23


Detail of photo from Brightwater, showing road from Point Wells to Richmond Beach Road
The Shoreline open house on Point Wells, sponsored by the developer to obtain feedback from the community, is scheduled for Thursday, September 23 at the Shoreline Conference Center, 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline 98155, in the large Shoreline Room at the north end of the building.

It is an Open House format, from 5 pm to 7:30 pm, although BSRE Point Wells LP has arranged for its architect, Peter Busby from Chicago-based firm Perkins+Will, to give short presentations during the September 23 meeting.

Residents of Richmond Beach have many issues with the proposed development, with the main issue being that the only access to the site, which could have as many as 3,000 condo units, is through a very narrow road which leads only to Richmond Beach Road and eventually to the intersection at N 185th and Aurora. 

It is uncertain who would have the responsibility to provide fire and aid services. Even though the only road is through Shoreline, the site is in Snohomish County.

The developers, who are known for their "green" buildings, have explored many options for potential surface transportation, but none are currently in existence or in planning.

School district and Museum reach agreement on Ronald School building

According to the school district website, the Shoreline School District and the Shoreline Historical Museum have reached an agreement on the Ronald School building, currently occupied by the Museum and located at 749 N 175th St, one block west of Aurora on N 175th at Linden Ave N.

Front, north side of Ronald School
Under this agreement, the School District will ultimately pay the Museum $852,000 - $652,000 at the closing of the purchase and sale agreement and $200,000 when they vacate the building, which must be prior to February 1, 2011. These funds will come from the 2010 bond money for the Shorewood modernization/replacement project.

The Museum will convey its interest in the Ronald School and current ground lease to the District by September 30, 2010. The Museum will lease the Ronald School building until February 1, 2011 and a portion of the Sunset School for storage only, from September 30 to no later than June 30, 2012.
south, back side of Ronald School

The District will include the Ronald School in the design of the new Shorewood, abutting the Ronald School on the south, rear side and leaving the north, east, and west sides free. Under codes governing school buildings, the Ronald School will need to be brought up to current earthquake codes.

The Museum and its officers agree not to oppose the project either directly or indirectly and to write a letter of support for the District's application for a Certificate of Appropriateness and a Conditional Use Permit from the City of Shoreline.

The full agreement and further details are on the School District website.

The agreement does not mention the bell tower.  In the 1930s the cupola that housed the bell needed replacement and was taken down. The bell remained in place standing alone on the top of the building, but the cupola was not replaced and an earthquake in 1949 caused the bell to be removed for safety reasons. The bell is on display in the Shoreline Historical Museum.  (Information corrected.  I had the wrong earthquake.  DKH)

Letter to the Editor: Ethical integrity is the priority in selecting leadership

To the Editor:

Ethical integrity is the number one priority in selecting leadership. As a lifelong Democrat I have looked to the character of candidates, and I endorse Art Coday because of his integrity. As a physician he has applied the principle that doctors must “do no harm” and will bring that principle to the State House of Representatives.

As a teen Art lost his father, and this caused great emotional and financial hardship for him and his family. Nevertheless, he excelled by graduating from Lakeside School, UW (honors, magnum cum laude), and Harvard Medical School. During his school years Art worked hard to pay his own way and help support his family. Now, Art Coday brings empathy to the disadvantaged and he brings zeal to the constitutionally mandated public school system. He will demand that the state provide the very best for our children and teachers.

Dr. Coday sees mainly Medicare and Medicaid patients, providing loving care to our most fragile and vulnerable citizens. He is a man of compassion and integrity that we can trust, and he brings a depth of understanding to the legislative debate that no other candidate has.

The PDC filings clearly show Art’s ability to manage money responsibly. Some people attempt to buy political power, but Art has proven that he will serve the general public, not special interests, with his scholarship and skills.

All members of the 32nd Legislative District will be well served by Art, including seniors, children, the poor, working people, businesses, and new immigrants looking for opportunity. Art will do this with fairness for everyone, attention to detail, care in spending our tax dollars, and concern for the environment.

I urge Democrats and Independents to join me on the team to elect Dr. Art Coday. He is the kind of leader we need.

On the local front: Sisters Kari, Julianne, and Kristen Larsen, writing as K.J. Larsen, offer "Liar, Liar" (Poisoned Press, 250 pp., $14.95 paperback — a very funny book starring Seattleite Cat DeLuca and her irresistibly named Pants On Fire Detective Agency.

Letter to the Editor: Vote Yes Proposition 1 - Save Shoreline Dog Parks

To the Editor:

As a Shoreline dog owner who uses the wonderful Shoreline Off-Leash Park, I am very concerned that a lack of funding will jeopardize our great resource. If the City can't raise money as allowed by the passage of Prop 1, it will be forced to start cutting non-essential services. Parks will certainly be on the block, and with them, off-leash areas. Say good-bye to any future off-leash areas and expect drastically reduced funding for existing facilities. See supportshoreline.org for more information.

Teaching artists from the Seattle Dance Project are working closely with teachers to help integrate dance into their curriculum. Seattle Dance Project is now providing ten dance education classes to every student from K-6. 

According to Laura Ploudre, Principal of Parkwood Elementary School, the dance education program brings many benefits to the school's students: "The academic content becomes more accessible and learning is deepened when it is accessed through arts instruction." Ms. Ploudre also noted that "the dance curriculum adds a new element of rigor to the core curriculum and gives students the opportunity to be educated in a rich, meaningful and more comprehensive way."

The matinee performance of Project Orpheus is open to students of all grade levels city wide. In the current educational climate which tends to focus almost exclusively on test scores for reading and math, education in dance is intended to give students an important learning experience about the arts and to explore new ways of thinking. The matinee performance will be interspersed with actual lectures that demonstrate some of the key components of dance as an artistic medium.

The highly respected, veteran dance instructor Anita Kuroiwa, who is the founder of Seattle Academy's Dansation program, found Project Orpheus to be so breathtaking and extraordinary that she urged her students to see it more than once in order to realize the full depth of its technical and artistic intricacy.

Timothy Lynch and Julie Tobiason are Co-Artistic Directors of the Seattle Dance Project (SDP), which is now going into its fourth season and has established a reputation for working collaboratively with other arts, theater and music groups. 

Lynch said, "Our dance company is deeply committed to seeking educational opportunities that allow children of all ages to experience dance."

Class Teachers and school administrators and volunteers from all schools at all grade levels are urged to book seats in advance by contacting ACT- A Contemporary Theatre or the Ticket Office located at 700 Union Street, Seattle 98101, 206-292-7676.
