The Shorecrest girls' basketball team qualified for the State 3A tournament with a Northwest District 3A tournament semifinal victory over Meadowdale Friday night. The Scots take their 15-7 record into the District championship game against Glacier Peak (13-9) Friday, Feb. 18 at Lynnwood High School.

In the three-point victory Wednesday, Shorecrest held a 7-point lead after the first quarter before Shorewood cut the lead to 5 points at halftime and 3 points after three quarters, but the Thunderbirds couldn’t close the gap in the final period. Brianne Lasconia led Shorecrest with 25 points; India Matheson scored 12; and Janie Uppinghouse added 10. Erin Ellersick led Shorewood with 12 points.

Both teams picked up the pace in the fourth quarter as the T-birds outscored the Hawks 16-13. It wasn’t enough as the Hawks hit several key free throws late in the fourth to move on to the next round of the playoffs.”
        
In Shorecrest’s 64-44 loss at Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon (12-7) led throughout the game, outscoring the Scots in each of the four quarters. Junior Chibuogwu scored 32 points to raise his season average to 17.7 points per game. Keith Shattuck scored 15 to raise his average to 11.9.

Shorecrest girls' victory over Shorewood leaves Scots one game from State tournament, Thunderbirds one from elimination

The Shorecrest girls' basketball team defeated Shorewood 54-51 in a first-round Northwest District 3A tournament game Wednesday at Shorecrest.

The game moves Shorecrest within one game of a return trip to the State 3A tournament and Shorewood within one game of elimination from the District tournament.

Shorecrest, the No. 1 seeded Western Conference team in the tournament takes a 12-game winning streak and 14-7 overall record (12-2 Wesco 3A) into a Friday home semifinal game against Wesco No. 3 Meadowdale (13-8 overall, 10-4 Wesco 3A), which defeated Sedro Woolley 79-44 Wednesday.

The winner of the 7:30 p.m. Friday Shorecrest-Meadowdale game advances to that District championship game against the winner of a game between Wesco No. 2 Lynnwood and Wesco No. 5 Glacier Peak. The District championship game, Feb. 18, at Lynnwood High School, will send both finalists to the State tournament beginning Feb. 25-26.

A Shorecrest loss Friday would mean that the Scots would have to win two games to get the District’s No. 3 State tournament berth.

Shorewood (4-17 overall, 3-11 Wesco 3A) plays a loser-out game at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Sedro Woolley (7-14 overall. 5-8 Northwest 3A-2A-1A League). The winner of that game plays in one of two elimination games Feb. 15, with the winners of those games advancing to the third-place game Feb. 18 at Lynnwood.

Shorecrest’s 54-51 victory over Shorewood marked the second straight time the Scots had won a close game from the Thunderbirds. Shorecrest had won 43-41 in January after an 11-point win in December.

In the three-point victory Wednesday, Shorecrest held a 7-point lead after the first quarter before Shorewood cut the lead to 5 points at halftime and 3 points after three quarters, but the Thunderbirds couldn’t close the gap in the final period. 

Brianne Lasconia led Shorecrest with 25 points; India Matheson scored 12; and Janie Uppinghouse added 10. Erin Ellersick led Shorewood with 12 points.

Spectacular Structure Fire in Kenmore

Photo courtesy Northshore Fire

The Northshore Fire Department responded at 7:10 p.m. on Wednesday, February 9, to a fully involved garage at a single family residence in the 6100 block of NE 192nd Street. Upon arrival; firefighters found flames coming from the garage and extending to the house.

Firefighters initially attacked the fire defensively. After initial knock down of the flames in the garage, Northshore firefighters along with personnel from Shoreline and Bothell, made an interior attack and extinguished the fire on the first and second floor. The fire was under control in approximately one hour.

One of the occupants was at home and saw flames coming from the garage; he evacuated the house safely and called 911. No one else was home at the time of the fire and there were no reported injuries.

Northshore Fire Marshal, LaFlam also responded and assisted the Fire Investigator from the King County Sheriffs Office with the investigation. The fire, which started in the garage, was determined to be accidental and was caused by an electrical malfunction. Damages are estimated at $200,000.

Teachers from Shoreline out to make musical history at Wintergrass Music Festival

What do Grammy winners Mark O’Conner, YoYo Ma, Wynton Marsalis, Michael Doucet, Laurie Lewis, and Darol Anger have in common with Shoreline residents Beth Fortune and Tom Petersen?

Beth Fortune
Fortune is on the same mission as many of the greatest Classical, Jazz, Folk, and Americana performers: bridging the gap between the oral and classical traditions. Students of all ages who play a variety of styles and who learn to play by ear, in addition to reading music, are better musicians and more motivated players, she says, and the educational evidence is on her side.

Fortune, the Strings and Choir teacher at Seattle’s Washington Middle School, has been a pioneer in the field of what’s known as Alternative Styles. 

this month’s Wintergrass Music Festival, she’ll help direct the world premier of a youth orchestra playing traditional and roots-styled music. The students will share the stage with famed Bluegrass fiddler Laurie Lewis, renowned New Acoustic composer Darol Anger, and Cajun legend Michael Doucet.

The showcase performance, on the festival’s main stage, will be the first of a planned annual event open to schools and individuals nationwide that will demonstrate the joy and value of Alt Styles education. Fortune will also oversee a class for music educators looking to join in the fun.

Alt Styles’s time has come. Much in the way Jazz went from being a shunned form, found only in scattered after-school clubs in the 1960s and ‘70s, to being the most prestigious and popular band program nearly everywhere, 

Alt Styles are poised to move from lone efforts like Fortune’s, and into the mainstream. Canadian fiddler Natalie McMaster is on the cover of this month’s Strings Magazine. Classical kingpin O’Connor has just released an instructional program in Traditional American music, while YoYo Ma said in a recent Seattle Times interview that learning to play Bluegrass helped him improve his Baroque playing. 

Petersen and students on mandolins

Marsalis, who hosts the nation’s top competition for high school Jazz bands, in his book about music education, Moving to Higher Ground, pointedly says that Bluegrass shares with Jazz its Blues root and communal playing experience, and thus is equally vital and valid.

Wintergrass has long conducted a Youth Academy for young pickers, under the direction of Fortune and taught by famed multi-instrumentalist Joe Craven. For older players, there is the Reader’s Session, in which classically-trained strings players learn to “get off the page,” aided by the nation’s top Alt Styles clinician and arranger, Renata Bratt.

That music returns to the regular classroom is the goal of Tom Petersen. The longtime Shoreline community volunteer and M.C. of the Richmond Beach Strawberry Festival teaches in the Northshore district, where he teaches History with the aid of the folk and popular songs that chronicled our nation’s past. “Music has always been the great social glue,” he says. “Something’s lost when no one knows the same songs any more. That’s why Classic Rock and Roots music are so popular with kids – they can speak the same language again.”

Add caption
Two years ago, Petersen, whose sons were in the Wintergrass Youth Academy, was asked to participate in a workshop by the Foundation for Bluegrass Music to show regular classroom teachers how “three chords and the truth” could engage reluctant students and appeal to a wider variety of learning styles. 

The workshop is now a full-blown day-long course, held at the Wintergrass festival, at which teachers can earn 8 Clock Hours of credit, learn those three chords, and take home a pile of classroom-ready lesson plans and materials.

This year, Petersen and Fortune combined their efforts to add a course at Wintergrass specifically for Music teachers looking to put Americana in the school music program. Renata Bratt, American String Teachers Association president-elect Bob Phillips, education professor Tom Kopp, Ph.D, and several of the festival’s headline acts will join in the instruction.

The proof that Alt Styles and music in the classroom works is backed by a growing volume of education research, and by the rousing success of events like last December’s Bluegrass concert by the Kenmore and Canyon Park Junior High orchestras. Director Karen Cramer, who took Fortune and Petersen’s workshop at Wintergrass last year, overcame initial skepticism and created an indelible experience that inspired the students, their parents, and the local Bluegrass musicians who helped tutor the groups, to insist that the lesson become a permanent part of the music program.

The Gallery at Towne Centre presents Interpretations

Featuring Artwork by Kathy Kimball and Photography by Joan Bowers
February 22 – April 2, 2011

Abstract acrylic painter Kathy Kimball and photographer Joan Bowers create different types of art, or do they? At first glance you might think so, but on further scrutiny you find that they both make art that invites free interpretation. The definition of interpretation is the act or process of explaining, and there is no right or wrong when creating or interpreting art. The Gallery at Towne Centre’s new exhibit Interpretations runs February 22 through April 2, 2011. As usual, the galley also features a stunning array of locally crafted glass, pottery, jewelry, fine art and more.

More on the Artists:

Stepping Over
Exploration in paint is similar to playing with finger paints as a child; enjoying the feel and surprising outcomes as I put brush to canvas and then scratch out portions that I have just covered with paint. The excitement in finding a small portion of what existed underneath the surface continues to push me to add and subtract and build complexity. When completed it seems as if I have found a remnant of ancient times with a hint of the story buried in the paint.

As I moved from realistic work to abstract painting the colors and shapes became the communication instead of the use of spoken language. Editing down a paragraph to a single sentence has power to it that I try to create in a painting. The joy in abstract work is the story is different for each person so the experience is personal and can represent a range of responses that go beyond the title of each piece.

Dumferline Cathedral
My interest in black and white photography dates back to the time when color film was not accessible to the photography hobbyist. I never lost interest but it was only after retiring that I launched into improving my skills. This included learning darkroom processes and recently learning the art of lith printing, as well as work with Polaroid transfer processes. While I am toying with using a digital camera, my first love will always be the type of results I achieve with "wet chemistry" processes.

The Gallery is located on the inside lower level of the Lake Forest Park Towne Centre, 17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park, WA 98155. Hours are 12-5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For information on the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council see webpage.


The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to nurture all of the arts in the community through programs and events, arts education, advocacy, and support for artists and arts organizations. Proceeds from the Gallery at Lake Forest Park Towne Centre help fund these programs and events.
