SCC reps attend national conference on strategies to help Baby Boomers finish degrees

Wednesday, July 27, 2011

From Shoreline Community College Communications

Shoreline Community College is one of several colleges across the country that is helping baby boomers get the degrees and credentials needed for the jobs of the future. The Plus 50 program at Shoreline offers courses to for people 50 years of age and older who want to - or are being required to return to work or change careers.

David Cunningham, Dean, Workforce Education and Donna Walthers, Program Assistant, Job Center at Shoreline Community College joined representatives from colleges from across the country at the fourth annual conference for the Plus 50 Initiative in Washington, D.C. earlier this month. The 45 representatives from 28 colleges discussed strategies that have worked well in their Plus 50 programs as well as shared resources that have supported program success at the two-day event organized by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC).

Cunningham said the amount of information and exchange of ideas that Plus 50 representatives shared at the conference was very good.  “We came back with a lot of ideas to expand and improve our program,” Cunningham said.

One of the ideas that Cunningham and Walthers plan to do is to improve and expand Shoreline’s program including providing lectures by college faculty members on a variety of subjects with fees going toward instructors’ salaries and student scholarship opportunities.

“Many faculty are experts on a number of subjects,” he said. Cunningham gave an example of the symposium on International Humanitarian Assistance or the American Health Care Reform discussions through the Global Affairs Center. “And lots of people could use scholarships.”

Cunningham said he is also thinking about creating some kind of professional development opportunities for instructors that provide knowledge about the Plus 50 population to support their teaching efforts.

The Plus 50 Completion Strategy aims to help plus 50 workers who are still struggling to recover from the economic recession that sparked record unemployment. According to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 30 percent of the nation’s fastest-growing occupations will be filled by people who have a postsecondary education credential.

But getting those credentials can be challenging, especially if an individual is returning to the classroom after spending decades in the workforce. Plus 50 adults must re-cultivate study habits left behind years ago and navigate an admissions system designed for high school seniors. And most importantly, they must decide on a path of study that will lead to a completed degree or credential and a new career.

The Plus 50 Completion Strategy is funded with a four-year grant from Lumina Foundation. The grant builds on the successful Plus 50 Initiative launched by AACC in 2008 and funded at that time by The Atlantic Philanthropies. Support from The Atlantic Philanthropies augments the current Plus 50 Completion Strategy.

The Plus 50 Initiative at AACC has focused much of its efforts for the last three years on training and re-training programs to get unemployed older adults back on the job.

Research data support the value of college programs assisting baby boomers. An independent evaluation of AACC’s Plus 50 Initiative found that 89 percent of students agreed that plus 50 work force training helped them acquire new job skills and 72 percent attributed landing a job to such training.

The Plus 50 Completion Strategy program at Shoreline Community College is part of a national effort. Earlier this year, AACC joined five other national organizations to sign a public commitment to promote the development and implementation of policies, practices, and institutional cultures that will produce 50 percent more students with high quality degrees and certificates by 2020.

Shoreline City Council Adopts Vision for Town Center

From the Office of the Shoreline City Manager

On July 25, 2011, the Shoreline City Council adopted the Town Center Subarea Plan and Development Code identifying the lands along Aurora Avenue N between N 170th and N 188th Streets between Linden and Stone Avenues as the core of an emerging Town Center. 

With good transit services along Aurora, the Town Center capitalizes on its central location in Shoreline and its “close-in” regional location as a focal point for much of the City’s future commercial and residential growth.

“As a fairly new city, having incorporated only 16 years ago, Shoreline did not have a defined town center as do many older, more established communities. This plan and new development regulations are aimed at creating that sense of place for our entire community,” stated Mayor Keith McGlashan. 
Mayor McGlashan added, “On behalf of the Council, we’re looking forward to working with property owners and investors to create an attractive, compact, walkable and mixed-use center that furthers the City’s goals for economic vitality, environmental sustainability and housing choices.”

Deputy Mayor Hall said,
"This plan is also a big win for the environment.  Encouraging housing in Town Center saves 12,000 trees that would be cut down if those homes were built in new suburbs, and people won't have to drive as far."

The Town Center area will encourage redevelopment that connects, respects and protects the single family neighborhoods that adjoin the District immediately to the east and west. Design standards will greatly improve the area’s attractiveness and encourage people to gather, walk and shop. This includes ample sidewalks, plazas, storefronts and green spaces.

“Town Center is the geographic, historic and civic heart of Shoreline,” stated Planning Director Joe Tovar. “The City’s heritage is embodied in the Ronald School Building, Red Brick Road and nearby Historical Museum. Our focus on a sustainable future is showcased by innovative ‘green’ public infrastructure in Town Center like the new City Hall, new Aurora boulevard and new Shorewood High School now under construction. The innovative and streamlined Development Code sets the stage for redeveloping this area over the next 20 years into the vibrant heart of Shoreline.”

The Subarea Plan and District development regulations were reviewed pursuant to the requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The City adopted the regulations as a SEPA planned action, under RCW 43.21C.031.

As a result, future development proposals within the Town Center boundaries would be exempt from SEPA as long as they follow the Town Center regulations. Those regulations assume up to 1,200 residential units, 200,000 square feet of office and 200,000 square feet of commercial/retail uses within the District.

“Anyone contemplating a multi-million dollar investment in Town Center will find the Subarea Plan a perfect mix of predictability and flexibility,” stated Economic Development Manager Dan Eernissee. “Town Center projects will completely avoid the uncertainties of SEPA review. As for flexibility, city staff is empowered to provide clarification and approval of any proposal that falls within the broad-minded Town Center’s design guidelines.”

Town Center is envisioned to be a neighborhood for the whole City. For more information on the plan and code visit the City website.

UW awarded a patent for electro-spinning co-developed by LFP resident


The University of Washington, Seattle, has been assigned a patent filed December 12, 2006 (7,981,353), developed by Stuart B. Mitchell, Lake Forest Park, WA, and Joan E. Sanders, Sammamish, WA, for a "method for controlled electrospinning."

According to reporter Satyaban Rath, "An electrospinning apparatus and methodology is described that produces medical devices, such as scaffolds that induce the formation of a natural fibrous structure (primarily collagen and elastin) in a tissue-engineered medical device." These are similar to or mimic the structure of animal tissue.

Guess Which Favorite Fruit Tops the 2011 ‘Dirty Dozen’ List

While you are reading this article, remember that we have a Farmers' Market every Sunday from 11am to 4pm at the Lake Forest Park Towne Centre.  Every vendor there is either certified organic or in the four-year process toward becoming certified. By next year, we will have a Shoreline Farmers' Market as well. Our grocery stores have been increasing their organic sections - both Fred Meyer and Safeway have made major increases in the past couple of years.  Central Market has some organic produce, as does QFC, Top Foods, Thriftway, and Albertsons.

Turns out, an apple a day may in fact, do the opposite of keeping the doctor away (depending on your view of the health concerns of pesticides).

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has released its 2011 Dirty Dozen list for fruits and veggies that contain the most pesticides. There are several repeat offenders from 2010, and apples have moved from fourth place to the dubious distinction of first at the top of the pesticide-laden food chain.

Here’s the EWG’s full Dirty Dozen list, from worst to best:

Apples, celery, strawberries, peaches, spinach, nectarines (imported), grapes (imported), sweet bell peppers, potatoes, blueberries (domestic), lettuce and kale/collard greens.

But, wait — there’s some good news, too.

The EWG also offers a Clean 15 list for fruits and veggies with the least amount of harmful pesticides, from best to worst:

Onions, sweet corn, pineapples, avocados, asparagus, sweet peas, mangoes, eggplant, cantaloupe (domestic), kiwi, cabbage, watermelon, sweet potatoes, grapefruit and mushrooms.

EWG reports that the average person can lower his or her pesticide intake by up to 92 percent by avoiding the “Dirty Dozen” offenders altogether, yet families can also forego the chemicals by choosing to go organic when purchasing their favorite fruits and veggies.

You may wonder if the health benefits of eating these nutritious foods outweigh their potentially harmful pesticide counts. On this topic, EWG President Ken Cook says,

“We recommend that people eat healthy by eating more fruits and vegetables, whether conventional or organic. But people don’t want to eat pesticides with their produce if they don’t have to. And with EWG’s guide, they don’t.”

If you are hoping to reduce your family’s chemical consumption and live as pesticide-free as possible, here are three giant steps that you can take in the right direction: Shop at one of the many farmers markets that our beautiful city has to offer, try to buy seasonally whenever possible and buy organic.

Visit Environmental Working Group for more information regarding current pesticide research and to see the EWG’s ranking of its complete list of 53 fruits and veggies.

Rep. Ruth Kagi is a guest columnist for The Sunday Seattle Times


"Washington must confront public-health challenge of childhood trauma

"Guest columnist Ruth Kagi says Washington is leading the nation in confronting the public-health challenges of children who face sustained childhood trauma. Studies show children with such experiences have much higher long-term health risks, including for obesity.

"By Ruth Kagi
Special to The Times

"A NEW study by the Trust for America's Health reveals Washington is one of 10 states in which the obesity rate has increased 90 percent within the past 15 years.

"That we've almost doubled the rate in less than two decades is startling. What is equally worrisome is that obesity isn't only increasing among adults, but among children as well. Two recent Seattle Times articles discuss the state's battle against childhood obesity.

"While various approaches to lowering obesity rates are being pursued, a key finding in another study cannot be disregarded: Young children who experience serious trauma or neglect are more likely to have long-term negative health and other impacts than those who do not — including obesity.

"The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is a decadelong and ongoing collaboration between Kaiser Permanente's Department of Preventive Medicine in San Diego and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). With 17,000 participants, it is the largest study of its kind.

"The study's origins came out of obesity research in the 1980s, in which a connection was discovered between physical or sexual abuse in childhood and chronic health problems in adulthood.

"While every child experiences trauma at some time, if there is a parent or other caring adult who can comfort and soothe the child, science indicates there is generally no long-term damage. In fact, through these experiences children learn how to cope with adversity.

"However, if abuse, neglect or other stressful situations in the home are prolonged, chemicals are released that actually alter development of the child's brain."

CleanScapes Tip: Book Ends

If you have used books that are not suitable for donation or resale, there are unique reuse and recycling options.

Old or damaged books can be turned into upcycled objects d’art, fashion accessories and unique home décor. Online tutorials give step-by-step instructions for turning old books into paper vases, wreathes, purses, wallets, table legs, wallpaper and lamps. Go on, get crafty!

If crafting is not your forté, you can recycle book pages by cutting them away from the cover and binding. Unfortunately, book covers and binding cannot be recycled and should be placed in the garbage.


The Big Picture

In 2009 there were 960,000 tons of books disposed in the US. While 33% of these were recycled, the rest were buried in landfills across the country.

Unless books are damaged, they can be kept in the ‘reuse’ loop for a long time. Help reduce waste by donating or selling unwanted books, reusing books in craft projects or removing book pages so they can be recycled into new paper products.

Reduce first. Reuse what you can, and then Recycle.

Reduce, Reuse and Win! Do you live in Seattle or Shoreline? Learn how you can help your community win funding for a community project!

Shoreline's 2011/12 Neighborhood Rewards competition is underway! Do you know where your neighborhood ranks?

Edmonds begins construction on missing link of Interurban Trail

Teresa Wippel, publisher of MyEdmondsNews.com, reports that work has begun on the Edmonds section of the Interurban Trail, running from the intersection at N 205th and Meridian Ave N (SR 104 and 76th Ave W) to 228th St in Mountlake Terrace.

Map courtesy City of Edmonds via MyEdmondsNews.com

The first stage includes erosion control work, including installation of catch basic protection.

The Interurban Trail Project will complete the missing link for the 30 mile trail. The Shoreline section is complete, running the length of the city, from NE 145 to NE 205. There is no indication that Seattle plans to work on their north Seattle section any time soon.

The following is from the MyEdmondsNews article:

The $2.4 million project — with $1.3 million coming from state and federal grant funds — is scheduled to be completed “on a 120-day construction cycle,” Haus said. Adding time for weather and other unexpected delays, work is likely to be finished in early 2012."

Currently, bicyclists who follow the Interurban Trail north from Shoreline are directed along 76th Avenue West, where there are no official bicycle lanes. When the Edmonds link is complete, cyclists and pedestrians will have the choice of continuing along 76th, where a bike lane will be added both east and westbound. (Parking will be alternated between the east and west sides of 76th to accommodate the bike lane, which will be tapered in and out around the parking.)

Artist's rendition of Ballinger Station.  Courtesy My Edmonds News
Those who want a more scenic (and slower) route can leave 76th at the PUD crossing near McAleer Way, and will be able to take a breather at Ballinger Station, a landscaped rest area for users of the Interurban Trail. Highlights include a drinking fountain, an open shelter with a park bench and two interpretive historical panels that tell the story of the Interurban Trolley Line, which ran from Seattle to Everett until 1939.

A spur trail heading west from this location will also be built to Mathey Ballinger Park, using the PUD crossing at 76th Avenue West with a 12-foot trail through what is now power line right-of-way.

The McAleer Way entrance will be marked with bollards and then follow a 12-foot-wide paved trail that will be built along the power line right-of-way that runs between homes just off McAleer, rejoining the street at 74th Avenue West. (A marked crosswalk and a four-way stop will be added here to slow down vehicle traffic.)

The trail will continue lakeside along 74th Avenue West, which will be paved with new asphalt and striped with a walking area for pedestrians on the east side and shared use for cars and bicycles on the west. The roadway currently varies in width from 12 feet to 20 feet, so the goal will be to widen it to 20 feet. Retaining walls will built along the route as necessary to protect trail users.

Three sets of speed cushions (wide enough to slow cars but narrow enough to allow speedy passage of fire trucks), will be installed along this portion of the 74th as a safety measure.

In the final section of the Edmonds trail, users will be directed along a now-unpaved portion of 74th (commonly referred to as an alley). That street will be paved and widened from 12 feet to 15 feet to accommodate access by bicyclists, local residents with driveways on the street, and garbage trucks. From there, the trail will exit to a crosswalk at 228th Street Southwest, and rejoin the already-completed Mountlake Terrace portion.

Turn in your potholes, Shoreline residents

The Shoreline Public Works department wants to know about potholes on city streets. Not only potholes, but cracks, low spots, and other imperfections in Shoreline City streets.

Operations Manager Jesus Sanchez says, "It's easier and more cost-effective to fix a small crack in the road than to wait until the road is in full failure."

If you live in the Echo Lake neighborhood, they want to know right away, and your streets will get priority. (See story).

Public Works has made it as easy as possible to report those flaws, by providing a variety of ways to communicate with them.

Customer Response Team
If you have an honest-to-goodness pothole, call the CRT at 206-801-2700. They'll have someone out within 24 hours to do a temporary fill and they'll create a work order for Public Works crews.

On-line form
If you have something not so urgent, you can create a work order for Public Works by going on their website and filling out a simple form.

Eight miles of Echo Lake streets to be resurfaced

Do you live on one of the Echo Lake neighborhood streets marked in purple on the map? If you do, your street will be resurfaced next month, as part of Shoreline's street maintenance program.

Public Works will use a process called "Chip-seal" or "Bituminous Surface Treatment" (BST). Chip-seal has been used in Mountlake Terrace for years, but this is the first time for Shoreline.

Shoreline originally started resurfacing streets with asphalt, which creates a very smooth surface. It is also extremely expensive, and the original project had some difficulties with the asphalt peeling.

BST is very durable and inexpensive compared to asphalt. Jesus Sanchez, Director of Operations in the Public Works department, told Echo Lake residents at a public meeting in May, that one mile of asphalt was about the same cost as eight to ten miles of BST.

Public Works has been working with a consultant who has national expertise in BST. Contractors have been lined up. The City is waiting for hot weather. The BST process they have chosen requires three layers of material, with a curing period of 5-7 days between the second and third coat. The hotter the weather, the faster the new surface will cure.

Residents reminded the staff about the August 2 Night Out Against Crime block parties and staff promised that the work would take place after that date.

In response to questions, Sanchez said that residents would be notified street by street and given about a week's notice of work to be done.

The bed of the truck rises 13 feet.  Trees and other vegetation have to be cleared in advance.
Photo courtesy City of Shoreline.
Residents need to cut back all vegetation on their property which would be in the path of the trucks when the bed is up - typically a height of 13 feet.

Residents need to plan to avoid driving on the new surface until the traffic revision signs are removed.

Public Works wants to know about any imperfections in the streets, so they can be repaired before the new surface goes on. (See article). Public Works staff are surveying the streets but they want to make sure they haven't missed anything.

There is a set of questions and answers on the City street maintenance website.

Some streets in Echo Lake are not being resurfaced now because there is other work planned for them.  Many streets to the east of 5th Ave NE were resurfaced with asphalt under the first resurfacing project.
