Vince Santo Pietro, 2012 Shoreline Teacher of the Year

Vince Santo Pietro, science teacher at Shorecrest High School, has been selected as the 2012 Shoreline Teacher of the Year.

Vince has taught science at Shorecrest since 1994. He will be honored at a reception on Monday, May 14 prior to the School Board meeting that evening. The public is invited. Shoreline will honor its certificated staff members during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 14 to 18.

“Whatever the task – managing an experiment in chemistry, coordinating and communicating a technology initiative, or jumping in as the go-to guy when you take 160 people on a 10-day trip to Ireland – Vince Santo Pietro is not only one of our school leaders, but he also believes in the importance of being a team player and partner,” his nomination read in part. “ 
In his classroom Vince is the master of questioning strategies, probing students and encouraging higher level thinking skills as he provides feedback to push students toward their learning goals. He incorporates real world applications to make subject matter relevant, and stays current with developments in his teaching assignment.”

Vince has served for many years as Shorecrest Science Club advisor, as school webmaster, and on its emergency preparedness committee. He has been a member of District technology committees, served as the District’s representative to the Washington State Public Health lab assessment committee, and on the design team for the new Shorecrest.

Each year he organizes a popular Astronomy Night that is open to the public. He teaches for the UW in the high school program, and he received a two-year Murdock grant to do astronomy research at the UW.

For the recent trip by the Shorecrest marching band, pipers, Highland Dancers and flags to Ireland, Vince worked on the staff team to handle many of the organizational logistics for band director Vince Caruso to make the trip a success.

In the community, Vince was one of the founding members, and a clarinet player, of the Around the Sound Community Band, a performance group dedicated to the joy of music and sharing that joy through community service. The band began as a Shorecrest senior project.

Vince also volunteers for the Fremont Arts Council, and has served as head of security for the famous Fremont Solstice Parade. Finally, Vince is devoted to his church community, the University Congregational United Church of Christ. He has served on several of the church’s boards and committees, notably, the facilities board, and he worked on a committee helping to organize the moving and packing through an extensive remodel. Recently he helped organize and presented a series of programs exploring faith and science.

“Vince brings as much zest and pride and pleasure to a new lab experiment as he does to a brand new iPad, as much passion to a Power Standard as he would to correcting an astronomy quiz. Vince is a doer not to keep busy, but to stretch and to grow and to keep on learning and trying, and it is that fundamental, innocent, unvarnished revelry in learning that makes him such an unassuming but tremendously powerful role model for our students. Vince personifies the most basic cornerstone of our work – learning - in everything he touches at Shorecrest, and indeed in our larger community,” his nomination concluded.

Vince is married to Nadine Santo Pietro, who teaches integrated arts at Echo Lake Elementary. He graduated from Temple University with a bachelor of arts in Chemistry and from the University of Pennsylvania with a master of science in Chemistry. He also has a masters in education from Seattle Pacific University. He began his career in the science museum industry, first with the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia and later with the Pacific Science Center in Seattle.

The Shoreline Teacher of the Year is selected by a committee of certificated and classified staff, administrators and parents from nominations received from throughout the District. Vince will receive a $500 professional development grant from the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation and will be Shoreline's nominee for the 2013 Washington State Teacher of the Year.

On Saturday, April 21st, CleanScapes’ Waste Zero Manager and Shoreline Mayor Keith McGlashan announced the winner of CleanScapes 2011/2012 Neighborhood Reduction Rewards Competition. 

CleanScapes, the solid waste company serving Shoreline, awarded a $10,000 community grant to the neighborhoods of Hillwood, Innis Arden, Richmond Beach and Richmond Highlands.

The winning neighborhoods, located in CleanScapes’ Thursday collection area, reduced their total waste – garbage, recycling, and food/yard waste by 2.2 percent from last year. The $10,000 award will go towards a project accessible to the public that will benefit the community.

"This is the third year of the Neighborhood Reductions Reward Program, and we are remarkably pleased with the projects we have been able to fund," commented Chris Martin, President of CleanScapes. 

Since the inception of the program CleanScapes, working with the City of Shoreline, has funded a number of community improvements, including installing five park benches and mile markers along the Interurban Trail.

This year’s winning neighborhoods will again be able to select the project that CleanScapes will fund.

"I think this is a great way for CleanScapes to collaborate with neighborhoods in Shoreline, and give back to the City," commented Mayor McGlashan.

Interested in helping your neighborhood win? The 2012/2013 competition will launch in April, giving neighborhoods the chance to compete again for a $10,000 community project. Contact Cleanscapes  for ideas on how to rally your neighbors around reducing waste and helping the community at the same time.

46th District Democrats make nominations for the State Legislature for the 2012 Election

Report from the 46th Dems

The 46th District Democrats welcomed new members from Lake Forest Park and Kenmore this week, including guest and 32nd District Senator Marilyn Chase. The district expands in 2013 to add these two Northshore cities. 

The monthly general meeting included a candidate forum and was held in the Elks Club Lodge just over the LFP city boundary on 145th Street NE. The 46th District, which has long been recognized as one of the State’s most progressive districts, is anchored by the University District in the south and includes the North Seattle communities along the western shore of Lake Washington as well as the Greenlake neighborhood.

As expected, attendance at the Sunday April 15th’s Democratic Precinct Caucuses was down from the huge crowds experienced in 2008, but the 200 PCOs and members who gathered at Thursday’s general meeting were enthusiastic about supporting Barack Obama for President, Jay Inslee for Governor and other Democrats near the top of the ballot for statewide office. 

Thursday night, they were attentive and focused as they listened to many candidates running for the state legislature and other local and judicial offices.

Following Washington State Democratic Party Rules, the PCOs in the 46th District cast ballots to officially nominate their preferred Democratic candidates in the three Legislative District races. The nomination process identifies the official Democrat in these races prior to candidates filing for office with the County Auditor and Secretary of State. This step is required because the State of Washington does not have a true “primary” election, but holds an election on August 7, 2012 to narrow the field to the top two vote-getting candidates.

Candidates earning the 46th District nominations were:

  • 46th District Senate Seat: Sen. David Frockt, who was appointed to the vacant Senate seat after the death of Sen. Scott White;
  • 46th District House Seat 1: Rep. Gerry Pollet, who was appointed to the vacancy created when Frockt was appointed to the Senate; and
  • 46th District House Seat 2: Sarajane Siegfriedt, a human services advocate and long time party activist.


Candidates for statewide, congressional and judicial positions were also in attendance to build support within the district membership in preparation for the 46th District Democrats’ Endorsement Meeting in May. 

PCOs and members were particularly interested in the candidates running for an open seat on the State Supreme Court against Republican Richard Sanders, who lost his seat in 2010. Sanders, a Vashon Island libertarian, was narrowly defeated by Charlie Wiggins after 16 years on the court. Other challengers for this open seat include Appellate lawyer Sheryl Gordon McCloud, former Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg and King County Superior Court Judge Bruce Hilyer.

Delegates and Alternates elected at the Precinct Caucuses are encouraged to attend the Legislative District Caucus to elect Delegates and Alternates to the Congressional District Caucuses for the 1st and 7th Congressional Districts, and approve the 46th District 2012 Platform. This meeting will be held on April 28th, 2012 10:00am, at Ingraham High School, 1819 N. 135th Street, Seattle.

The 46th District Democrats will meet again on May 24th at Olympic View Elementary School for the Endorsement Meeting.

Shorewood will seek a baseball sweep at Everett Tuesday after defeating Everett 3-1 Friday at Meridian Park School.

Shorewood and Everett go into the Tuesday game tied for fifth in the Western Conference 3A division with 5-6 division records.

The Friday victory moved the Thunderbirds ahead of Oak Harbor, which had held the sixth and final Western Conference berth in the Northwest District 3A tournament before Shorewood’s victory dropped Oak Harbor into seventh place.

Shorewood takes a 6-9 overall record into the Tuesday game at Everett (5-10 overall).

Shorewood's Duncan Hendrickson broke a 1-1 tie with an RBI double and scored on Ben Andrews' RBI triple in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Adverse Childhood Experiences and the Health of Society speaker on April 6

Dr. Robert Anda

Service providers and community members dedicated to serving, educating and advocating for families across Shoreline/Northshore and East King County communities gathered on Friday, April 6 at Chateau Bothell Landing retirement and assisted living community in downtown Bothell to hear Doctor Robert Anda, Co-Principal Investigator of Adverse Childhood Experiences and the Health of Society.

Adverse Childhood Experiences such as child abuse and neglect, have a strong influence on several adolescent issues, such as; smoking, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, etc. A summary of findings reflect that ACES are very common and are strong predictors of health risks and disease from adolescence to adulthood. 

However, Dr. Anda emphasized that those with ACEs are resilient and adaptable, able to change behaviors and overcome these toxic experiences that have affected them over many years. Attendees at the conference shared their strategies and experiences in using this ACE research while serving vulnerable people; helping them recognize their capability to adjust and pursue healthy behaviors that improve their quality of life. 

The presentation was co-hosted by the Shoreline/Northshore and Eastside Community Networks. 

Findings from the ACE Study have been presented at Congressional Briefings and numerous conferences around the world. The ACE Study is being replicated in numerous countries by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is now being used to assess the childhood origins of health and social problems in more than 18 U.S. states with Washington leading the way through the statewide Community Network that builds capacity in local communities translating Science to action using the public health framework.

On Tuesday, April 23,  the 17 members of the Varsity and Junior Varsity Robotics Teams from King's High School will be leaving for St. Louis, Missouri to complete in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) World Championship robotics competition.

The FIRST Tech Challenge, held from April 25 to 28, welcomes 2,100 teams and 21,000 students from the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Netherlands. The FIRST Tech program provides students with hands-on science and technology experience and access to more than $9.7 million in college scholarships for 2012. 

FIRST - For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.

The King's students have completed more than 14,500 person hours planning, developing and building working robots to showcase in the international competition.

Under the leadership of head coach and math teacher Mikel Thompson, the students are split into three teams: Building, Software and Support.  The varsity and junior varsity team will both compete as part of 128 teams from around the world.  The 128 Teams will be divided into two different sections to compete in a kind of double elimination round.  This could mean the varsity and junior varsity teams could compete with each other if they both do well.  

Last year, the King’s High School varsity team finished among the top eight teams in the world.

The Robotics team has had two mentors this year, Mike Pringle and Todd Rudberg.  Todd works for Electroimpact, in the Mukilteo area, owned by Peter Zieve. Electroimpact supported the students with company products so students were able to use commercial equipment to build their robots.

The competition will consist of four team robots at one time picking up three crates at different times and placing a ball in each crate until they have the three crates upright.  Then the robot will need to raise the three carts in unison to the highest extension possible, which for the King’s High School teams will be 14 feet in the air.  The different rounds last 3 minutes.

The teams gathered with their robots for one last time on Monday, April 16, before shipping the robots to Missouri.

King's High School is part of CRISTA Ministries, located in Shoreline, Washington.

Coffee with a Friend: Sky Nursery

Vicki Michels is a woman on a mission - and that mission is to find every coffee shop in the area where you can get a good cup of coffee and sit down to enjoy it with a friend.  To see the other coffee shops in this series, look under Features in the first column of our webpage.

The main entrance to Sky Nursery and the coffee shop
has been on the north end since the new greenhouses were built.

SKY NURSERY COFFEE
18528 Aurora Avenue North

By Vicki Michels

OK, this is not exactly a "coffee shop", but it is a wonderful stop along (atop?) the Interurban Trail! Just inside the front doors of the greenhouse you will find a full-service counter selling hot and cold drinks, just perfect to carry with you as you survey the beautiful plantings.

Or you can sit at one of the little nearby tables with a drink and a munchie, and just listen to the birds and inhale the peace and scented air.

The coffee shop is right by the north entrance

The coffee itself comes from Fidalgo Bay roaster in Burlington; they are organic, fair trade, and kosher. I recently had a white macadamia latte that was marvelous.

HOURS:
Open – Mon-Sat 9 a.m.; Sun 10 a.m.
Close - Mon-Sat 4 p.m.; Sun. 4 p.m.

FOOD:
The counter sells only pre-made goodies, but such goodies they are! There are "Uncle Seth" pink cookies, both regular and mini. Biscotti. Cookies, of course. And wonderful breads, including blueberry, sour-cream walnut, lowfat lemon poppyseed, and my fave: yogurt mandarin.

PARKING:
There is plenty of parking for the nursery, both in the main lot and also some at the side along Aurora Avenue.
(By the way, one can still enter from Aurora, coming either direction, but the main entrance is off Midvale, a block or so north of the police station. The Midvale street turn is across from Bartells Drug Store.)

SEATING:
Inside the nursery there are benches and little places to perch everywhere. Just near the coffee kiosk are perhaps three little tables with 2-3 chairs at each. Certainly sufficient to meet a friend for coffee.

COMPUTER/INTERNET:
There is no access right now, though the barrista says she has been nagging. . .

Book Review by Aarene Storms: The Fault in Our Stars

Book Review by Aarene Storms
The Fault in our Stars by John Green

Seventeen-year-old Hazel has been surviving terminal cancer for four years when she meets Augustus Waters, who lost a leg to osteosarcoma. Hazel and Gus are smart, they are witty, they read, they discuss, they are both very ill.

Do you think you know how this story ends?

If you think it's going to end like a cancer book, you're entirely right, and you are also completely wrong. As Hazel herself says, "cancer books suck."

This book, incidentally, doesn't suck.

This book is funny, it's goofy, it's sad, it's appalling and it's sexy. The world is a better place because this book has been published...and that's not a small thing.

Highly, highly recommended for readers ages 13 to adult.

Some minor cussing, some underage drinking (champagne!), a few tearful pages and incidents off-page intimacy.

State Rep. Ryu says she’s proud that budget didn’t cut education

By Evan Smith

Democratic State Rep. Cindy Ryu says that she’s proud that the State’s supplemental budget adopted at the end of the recent legislative session made no cuts to education.

Ryu represents the 32nd Legislative District, which now includes Shoreline. Lake Forest Park, Woodway, south Edmonds, Kenmore and part of Kirkland. With the coming election, it will still include Shoreline, Woodway and south Edmonds, but will add Lynnwood and part of northwest Seattle and no longer include Lake Forest Park, Kenmore or Kirkland.

Here is part of the report that Ryu sent to constituents last week:

“Thanks to the many hundreds of you who either e-mailed or called my office, there are no cuts to K-12 and higher education. The budget also reflects the feedback from you requesting that the legislature protect our vulnerable citizens by maintaining funding for important safety net programs, including the Basic Health Plan, Disability Lifeline, and family planning grants. 
“The capital budget/Jobs Now Act fosters prosperity and invests in our future. The Jobs Now Act is anticipated to generate over 22,000 jobs statewide, funding construction investments that are essential for the long-term prosperity of our communities and our state.”

Marla Miller has been appointed as deputy superintendent of the Shoreline School District, Superintendent Sue Walker announced. Her appointment is effective July 1 and was approved by the Shoreline School Board at its April 16 meeting.

Miller has been employed by the Edmonds School District since 1993, and has served as its executive director of business and operations since 1998. Her responsibilities include oversight of business and finance, capital projects, food service, technology/print shop and facilities operations.

“We are excited about welcoming Marla Miller to our Shoreline team,” Superintendent Walker said. “She brings a wealth of experience in Washington state school finance and her breadth of knowledge in capital projects will be essential as we continue construction of the new Shorecrest and Shorewood High Schools.”

Miller will succeed Marcia Harris, who announced in March her plans to retire August 31 after six years as Shoreline’s deputy superintendent and 37 years overall in public education.

Miller first joined Edmonds as a human resources consultant, then became human resources manager and director of business services, payroll and benefits before assuming her current position. She is a graduate of Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. She is active in the community as a member and past president of the Edmonds Daybreakers Rotary Club, as a board member of the Edmonds Public Facilities District, on the Dale Turner Family YMCA Strategic Planning Committee, and as past president and lifetime member of the Seattle Milk Fund.

Miller and her husband live in Edmonds and are the parents of three children.
