Evan Smith: School Board member Maren Norton backs unopposed candidate Nicholson for her position

Maren Norton, School Board
By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer

When Shoreline School Board member Maren Norton announced June 10 that she would not seek a second term on the Board, she endorsed candidate Dick Nicholson for her position.

Nicholson is running unopposed for the position representing District 4 on the five-member Board.

Norton said that she would not seek re-election because her work as an attorney will require a great amount of travel over the next few years.

She thanked voters for giving her the honor of serving four years on the Board.

Board members Richard Potter and Mike Jacobs both are running for re-election with single opponents in the November general election.

Shorecrest High School Modernization

Architects' design of the new Shorecrest High School.
Courtesy Shoreline Schools.
By Cindy Tien, ShorelineAreaNews Intern

Back in February 2010, the Shoreline School Board approved the design for the modernization / replacement of Shorecrest and Shorewood High Schools. The creation of these designs includes a “safe and secure environment for students, an environment that honors community values and promotes community access, and spaces that support a comprehensive educational experience.” Construction for both High School sites began in early 2011, with expected building completion in time for the 2013-2014 school year.

Shorecrest’s modernization will occur in three main phases, with a timeline from February 2011 - August 2014. The new campus will be set back farther from 25th Avenue NE and feature a three-story main academics and commons building. The south end will feature the athletics building. The existing theater building will remain at its present location at the north end of the campus and the school will be able to carry on and expand Shorecrest’ art and music programs, even during construction. Throughout the campus there will be a number of green open spaces, including the popular rocks where Shorecrest students sit outdoors.

Site preparation work has already begun, and 18 portable classrooms will be at Shorecrest’s current south parking area. Now that classes are over for the year, classroom furniture and materials will be transported to the new portables.

Construction timeline:
  • Beginning July to September, the site will be prepared for the new Gymnasium, with demolition of the existing portables and H wing, with new installation of new utilities.
  • During October 2011 to August 2012 the first phase will begin (of three parts) of building the new Gymnasium.
  • In January 2012, the second part of phase one will be the site preparation for the new Arts complex, which will be incorporated into the existing Theater. Portions of the main school building will be removed (C8-C10, F4-F7, B10).
  • Following, February 2012 to November 2012, the last part of phase one will be to continue building the new Arts complex.
  • From July 2012 to September 2012, Phase two will occur (in two parts) which will be the preparation of the site for construction of the new Main Academic Building. Buildings G, J, and S will be demolished, while utilities are installed.
  • October 2012 to February 2014, Phase two of part two will be in-progress, constructing the new main Academic Building.
  • March 2014 to August 2014 will consist of the final phase. This involves the removal of the remaining original building, and transition of portables and the completion of site work.
  • Fall 2014 will feature the grand opening of the completed Shorecrest High School project.

Windermere Shoreline volunteers spend the day working at Food Lifeline

Windermere Shoreline real estate brokers
By Jessica Lake, Windermere Shoreline

On Friday, June 17, 2011 Windermere Real Estate Shoreline brokers spent the morning at Food Lifeline in Shoreline volunteering in the food distribution warehouse. 

Food Lifeline is a growing, and much needed, resource for many people in our community and throughout western Washington.

Frozen peas
Whether it’s a donation of time or money, Food Lifeline makes every bit count. 96 cents of every dollar goes directly to feeding hungry people. 

Broker Jack Malek
The Food Lifeline staff made the most of our volunteer time as well. 

With great direction and instruction, we were able to repackage 9,660 pounds of frozen peas in a little less than 3 hours, resulting in 7,431 meals!

Repackaged peas
Food Lifeline provides food to over 686,000 people through a network of nearly 300 emergency feeding programs including food banks, hot meal programs and shelters. 

Windermere Shoreline at Food Lifeline 
We were reminded today that people from all walks of life may look to a food bank for help. 

Thank you, Food Lifeline, for giving Windermere Shoreline the opportunity to give back to the community.

CORRECTION: Shorecrest Memory Book

Sunday, June 19, 2011

Shorecrest Memory Books, by Sang-Won Cho
Graphic designer (and Shorecrest attendance secretary) Sang-Won Cho of Sancho Design has created a photo book of Shorecrest High School. Most of the school, with the exception of the Performing Arts Center, will be torn down and rebuilt in 2013.

Cho has documented the Shorecrest campus in two books - one 80 pages and an expanded version of 360 pages. You can preview and purchase the books online.

We previously reported that all proceeds would go to Shorecrest. That should have read "All profits will go to Shorecrest."

You can preview the book and purchase either the 80 page version or the 360 page version.
As we look forward to a brand new Shorecrest in 2013, we wanted to make sure the old building will never be forgotten.

Evan Smith: CORRECTION – Shoreline ballot will have County ballot measure

By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer

I wrote yesterday that August ballots in the City of Shoreline would have nothing but a one-candidate election for the Court of Appeals.

That’s wrong.

While the Court of Appeals candidate is the only candidate on Shoreline ballots, ballots in Shoreline, Lake Forest Park and the rest of King County will have County Proposition No. 1, the renewal of the Veterans and Human Services Levy.

Thanks to a reader for pointing out that the levy will appear on ballots throughout King County, including those in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.

So, ballots in Shoreline will have the levy plus the one-candidate election for the Court-of-Appeals position, and ballots in Lake Forest Park will have the levy, the Court-of-Appeals election and a three-way primary for mayor among City Councilman Dwight Thompson, former Councilwoman Mary Jane Goss and Republican precinct committee officer Stan Lippmann.

Another reader asked why we vote twice to elect an unopposed judge.

This happens only for judges of the Supreme Court and courts of appeals. Proposals to change the system or to reconcile the ways we elect judges at different levels have failed in recent sessions of the Legislature.

Letter to the Editor: Veterans and Human Services levy on the primary ballot

To the Editor:

This morning in the Shoreline Area News, Evan Smith wrote that the primary in Shoreline was meaningless with only one judicial candidate. I would like to point out that although the candidate list on the primary ballot in Shoreline is short, there is one primary ballot measure of great significance. That is renewal of the Veterans and Human Services Levy. This levy, initially passed in 2005, is now one of only two sources of human services funding by King County. (The other is the Mental Illness and Drug Dependency Sales Tax). Contrast this with 2005, when the Veterans and Human Services Levy was thought of as a supplementary levy, and the County spent $20 million per year on human services out of the general fund.

The ballot measure sets the same initial rate as the original 2005 Veterans and Human Services Levy, 5 cents per $1000 of assessed value. The ballot measure specifies that levy growth will be tied to inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, with a floor of 1 percent and a ceiling of 3 percent. Half the money is dedicated to veteran services and half to more general human services. There are separate oversight boards for the two halves of the levy. Reports of use of dollars and results of the levy are contained in the King County website.  I know that the oversight boards have been very conscientious about putting together a plan and carefully selecting projects that support that plan.

The human services levy was approved by the Regional Policy Committee of King County, endorsed by the Suburban Cities Association, and passed to the voters unanimously by the King County Council. I know this is a bad time for taxes. However, it is a good time to continue this levy, which supports veterans in need who have put their life on the line for this country. Additionally, the human services part of the levy supports measures to provide homes for homeless families and fund low income medical clinics. I strongly support continuing this levy and urge Shoreline voters to also support it.

Green Justice group says "Buy organic bananas and save a tree"

Green Justice members Bob Moore and Julie Houff . Photo by Jo Moore.
Members of the Shoreline Green Justice Group spent an hour in the produce section of the Shoreline Safeway at 15th NE and NE 175th today, talking to customers about bananas.

The problem is not the bananas, but the fuel used in the trucks that transport them.

Today's environmental demonstration was part of a national effort by Bellingham-based Forest Ethics to protect the Boreal Forests in Alberta, Canada from destruction due to the extraction of Tar Sands for diesel fuel.

Chiquita and Dole transport their bananas in trucks that burn fuel produced from Tar Sands extract.

According to Adam Gaya, Forest Ethics Organizer,
"A typical Chiquita or Dole banana travels 3,000 miles before you buy it - and fuel for that long journey comes partly from Tar Sands refineries. With Dole and Chiquita producing half of the world's bananas, they've got a whole lot of bananas traveling a whole lot of miles with dirty Tar Sands fuel, and we see a whole lot of opportunity for positive change."

Some local stores carry organic bananas which are transported by trucks using bio-fuel. Moore points to Central Market and TOP Food and Drug as examples, as well as PCC, Whole Foods, and Trader Joes.

Moore said that they had a productive conversation with the Produce Manager but "the store manager was annoyed that we hadn't contacted him about our plans at the beginning, and he objected to our efforts to get his customers to buy bananas at the other stores and asked us to leave."

What if the cell towers fall and the land lines overload? Talk to the Shoreline ACS

By Josh Gibbs

People take communications for granted these days. With cell phones, text messaging, and the Internet, communications are literally at your fingertips at any time. Cell phones and the Internet are amazing technologies that make our lives better, but there is a downside -- they are very complex and fragile systems. 

The radio systems used by police and fire are more robust, but are also prone to failure during widespread emergencies. 

During the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, the local police and fire radio system became so overloaded with traffic that many firefighters were unable to use their radios to communicate.

Just when we really need our technology, it is likely to fail!

Enter the Shoreline Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS). 
We are a group of amateur radio operators – licensed by the FCC – who use our training and skills as radio operators to provide a backup means of communications for Shoreline Police, Fire and the City of Shoreline. We bring to the table the ability to communicate locally or globally, using extremely simple and rugged equipment. We have our own radios and power (batteries or generator) and we can provide voice or data communications as needed.

Who are the members of the ACS? Our members range in age from early 20's to 80's. We tend to come from technical backgrounds. Most have been licensed ham radio operators for decades, while some have only been licensed for a few years. We are all residents of Shoreline (and surrounding area), and share the love of radio and the desire to serve our community.

We are always looking for new members. If you have an interest in emergency communications, please contact us via our webpage. We can give you information on getting licensed and joining the ACS.

See the ACS in action at the Shoreline Arts Festival, Saturday and Sunday, June 25-26, at the Shoreline Center.

Shoreline Caucus summer series begins Tuesday with Brian Sonntag

Brian Sonntag, State Auditor

We have some great speakers lined up for the summer series, so be sure not to miss a single one! These events are held at the Innis Arden Clubhouse. Refreshments are served at 6:30 and meetings begin at 7:00.

Please join us next Tuesday, June 21 (not Thursday this month), to hear State Auditor Brian Sonntag speak. Sonntag is a very humorous and engaging speaker (most accountants and auditors are like that, right?), and you will definitely enjoy this event. Please bring a friend – s/he won’t be disappointed!

On Thursday, July 14, Bill Bryant, President of the Port of Seattle Commission, will be speaking at the Shoreline Caucus. Sounds dry, right? Wrong! Every time he opens his mouth, facts came out, not fluff. Under Bryant’s leadership the Port has avoided raising taxes for several years, and in fact they cut their costs to match revenue, something our state ought to emulate. Bryant is the real deal and he’s well worth meeting, so we hope to have a great turnout for him.

Thursday, August 18th – come and meet Rob McKenna, running for Governor. McKenna is articulate and energetic, and more importantly, he’s got a clear-cut, conservative vision for the state (including cutting the size of state government). This is going to be a tough race – our opposition is going to go all-out to retain this seat, so please come and show Rob your support. Let’s fill the clubhouse.

The Innis Arden Clubhouse is at 1430 NW 188th St, Shoreline WA 98177

Evan Smith: A meaningless primary ballot in Shoreline

See updated story


By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer

Shoreline voters will get a ballot for the August 16 primary election even though there are no primary contests for the Shoreline City Council, the Shoreline School Board, the Shoreline Fire District, the Shoreline Water District or the Ronald Wastewater District.

Voters will get a ballot with a single item, an election with only one candidate.

It’s the primary for a position on the State Division 1 Court of Appeals.

Unlike other non-partisan elections, elections for the State Supreme Court and courts of appeals appear on both the primary and the general-election ballots even when they have only one or two candidates.

Most Supreme-Court and court-of-appeals elections are in even-numbered years, when the primary ballot is filled with contests for partisan offices, but the District 1 Court of Appeals, which serves King County, is what a State elections official calls an anomaly, with elections in odd-numbered years.

The single-candidate election for the Court of appeals position will appear on ballots throughout King County, but most places in the County, like Lake Forest Park, have at least one meaningful contest on the primary ballot, but a few, like Shoreline, will get the meaningless ballot with a single candidate for a single office.

Highland Terrace Elementary students raise more than $6,500 for Hopelink

Highland Terrace Elementary School Principal Mike VanOrden and Student Council members present a check for $6,586.25 to Leslie Brooks, Shoreline Center Manager for Hopelink. Photo by Frank Kleyn.

The 360 students at Highland Terrace Elementary School in Shoreline may be young, but they are already making a significant difference in their community.

On May 19, the students held a walkathon fundraiser for Hopelink that collected $6,586.25 for the Redmond-based nonprofit -- the largest amount of money ever raised by an elementary school for the agency's annual "End Summer Hunger" drive.

Student Council members and Highland Terrace Elementary School Principal Mike VanOrden presented the check to Hopelink’'s Leslie Brooks during an end-of-year assembly Friday, June 17 at the school.

Student council members say they chose Hopelink because of the direct services the agency provides to families in the Shoreline area, and as a result of their efforts, more families will receive the help they need to get back on their feet.

Hopelink’'s Shoreline Center Manager Leslie Brooks said the summer months can be a particularly challenging time for families who are already struggling to make ends meet. 
“School lunches are often the most nutritious meal of the day for children in low-income families,” Brooks said. "“When school is out for the summer, we see a lot more people asking for help in filling that need – families who are already squeezing every penny out of their budgets.”"

The money raised will help Hopelink address the higher summer demand on its food banks, when the additional food needed by families with children on summer break costs about $13 per child for a two-week period.

The Shoreline Hopelink is one of five Hopelink locations in north and east King County which help children, seniors and people with disabilities by providing food, shelter, homelessness prevention, family development and stabilization, transportation and adult literacy skills.

Since 1971, Hopelink has served homeless and low-income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities in north and east King County. Hopelink promotes self-sufficiency for all members of our community and helps people make lasting change by assisting people to meeting their needs for food, shelter, homelessness prevention, family development and stabilization, transportation and adult literacy skills.
