Opera at Shoreline Community College


Shoreline Community College’s Opera 2013 offers three shows open to the public at 7:30pm 
  • Friday February 22nd, 
  • Saturday 23rd, and 
  • Sunday 24th.


Dr Charles Enlow, Producer and Music Director, said “This year we offer a diverse sampling of nearly three hundred years of opera repertoire. 

"In addition to the major work on the program – Purcell’s Baroque masterpiece, Dido and Aeneas – we have included excerpts from Handel’s Serse, Bizet’s Carmen, Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, and Kurt Weill’s Street Scene. Love is the powerful force that motivates and moves each of these varied operatic stories. Whether it is the love and ultimate betrayal of a warrior prince or a rebellious gypsy cigarette girl, the youthful infatuation of a young woman with a handsome aristocrat, or the coming-of-age story of a young woman struggling to rise above her lower class urban surroundings - all of these operatic gems have important stories to tell, and lessons to teach, about risk-taking and growth.”

Cultural and historical diversity is another conspicuous theme of this workshop. Languages presented in their own historical and cultural contexts represented in this program include English/American, Russian, Spanish, French, and Italian. This diversity of repertoire, language, and cultural and historical contexts also serve as potent educational resources from which our workshop students are able to explore a rich and varied musical and theatrical journey.”

This year we celebrate our forty-first year of opera productions at the College. As an opera training program for young singers, we have attained an enviable position within our educational community by continuing to produce high-quality productions while at the same time providing unparalleled educational opportunities for our students.” 

The college is located at 16101 Greenwood Ave N, Shoreline 98133. The production is in the 1600 building.


Tickets:

General Admission: $18
Students, Shoreline Community College Faculty/Staff: $12
Shoreline Community College Students / children: $10

Former LFP water district employee embezzled over $360,000 from District

Updated and corrected 02-20-2013 5:02pm

Lake Forest Park Water District offices

The Washington State Auditor's office has released the results of a two year investigation into suspected fraud and embezzlement by the former office administrator of the Lake Forest Park Water District. (see previous story).

Lake Forest Park Water District is a small District at the north end of Lake Washington in King County, Washington. The District serves about 873 connections with clean, unchlorinated well water from 8 artesian wells and 3 deep wells in a watershed located within the District.

The employee, who has not yet been charged, had worked at the district for half a dozen years, the only full-time office staff. A routine audit in December 2010 quickly uncovered massive irregularities in the bookkeeping. The employee was suspended without pay and a firm of forensic accountants hired to go over the books and overhaul the district's bookkeeping methods.

According to our news partner, The Seattle Times, the two year state audit revealed that the trusted employee had been charging home improvements to the district. She hired her children to do part-time jobs, then inflated the hours and salaries. She had a district cell phone but added a second one and "used 20,000 minutes and 300,000 text messages in two years." In all, she took $350,000 from a district whose annual budget is around $600,000.

After being on unpaid leave for two years during the investigation, she was fired on Tuesday.

The losses are all covered by the state insurance pool and the district will be submitting a claim, now that the audit is complete. According to a statement on the district's website,

"The District has a crime insurance policy as a member of the Water and Sewer Risk Management Pool (WSRMP). The District is in the process of filling a claim through WSRMP, which includes sufficient coverage to protect the District and its ratepayers against losses incurred due to employee dishonesty and crime." 

A new district manager position was created and the operations manager was promoted into the position, effective January 2011. This position will now supervise the bookkeepers and office assistant. The old board included one who had stepped in to finish the term of her husband, who had died. Another board member retired because of ill health, and the third board member died unexpectedly. New board members were appointed and subsequently elected to their positions. 

The accountants cleaned up the bookkeeping and set up reports that balanced against each other and were easier to spot discrepancies. Bookkeeping is now done by an outside firm. Internal controls have been established and two people are required to approve expense vouchers, as well as a Treasurer from the new Board.

The former employee's fate is now in the hands of the Lake Forest Park police and the U.S. Attorney's office.

EarthCorps and local volunteers plant 997 new plants in Echo Lake Park

Volunteers under the direction of EarthCorps
plant native species on the east side of Echo Lake

The City of Shoreline, the Echo Lake Neighborhood Association, and EarthCorps joined forces to make the planting event at Echo Lake Park this weekend a huge success!

52 volunteers came out to help plant 633 shrubs and 364 groundcovers adding up to 997 plants total! 

The project’s goals were to restore wetland natural areas on the east side of Echo Lake. Having healthy native vegetation along the edge of the lake will decrease runoff into the lake, attract native birds, and increase the health of the ecosystem.

The area was previously the site of densely packed
bushes over six feet tall.

EarthCorps crews worked at the site for a few days before the volunteer event, preparing the site for planting by removing invasive plant species. Neighborhood and community members were a strong presence at the event showing that the restoration of Echo Lake Park is valuable and worthwhile to the community.

Leadership of the Echo Lake Neighborhood Association, who stage a work party in the park every July, were thrilled with the results of the EarthCorps work. Several of them commented, "We could never have done this by ourselves."

The EarthCorps event is part of a major renovation of Echo Lake Park, being overseen by Maureen Colaizzi of the City Parks Department.

Ronald Wastewater District oversees four sewer projects in 2013

Corrected 02-20-2013 11:10am

Even when problems are not visible above ground, Ronald Wastewater District routinely performs preventive maintenance to ensure sanitary sewage collection systems operates safely and efficiently. To that end, they have scheduled four capital improvement projects to be completed in 2013. The majority of these projects involve replacing existing eight inch concrete pipe lines, which have a high defect rating and maintenance problems, with eight inch high density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic pipe.

The first project, which will begin in early March, was awarded to Budget Sewer who submitted the lowest bid of $782,260 (between 2% and 8% below the engineers’ original estimate). Budget Sewer will replace 2,340 feet of pipe on the following main sewer lines:

• 12th Avenue NE from NE 175th St to 17211
• N/S Easement line at 17302 12th Ave NE easterly 328 feet
• E/W Easement line between NE 175th St and NE 174th St from the Library to 114 NE 174th St
• 13th Ave NE from NE 170th St to the north end of St
• 15 additional locations around the City of Shoreline to replace District stubs (the 6" pipe from the main line to the property line).

The second and third rehabilitation projects (which are not yet ready for bid) will replace the pipes on the following main sewer lines:

• 5th Ave NE from NE 175th St to NE 170th St
• 5th Ave NE from NE 155th St to NE 145th St

Lastly, the District will address a major hydraulic upgrade in the Ridgecrest area on 11th Ave NE, from NE 175th St to NE 168th St. The goal of this project is to provide greater collection system capacity, in response to City zoning changes that will allow a higher population/housing density in this area. Approximately 4,640 feet of eight, ten, twelve and fifteen inch concrete pipe will be replaced with ten, twelve, fifteen and eighteen inch HDPE pipe respectively. The District will also replace the residential side sewers that connect to these main lines at no addition cost to the customer.

Ronald Wastewater is a special purpose district focused on the operations and proactive maintenance of the sanitary sewage collection system serving the corporate limits of the City of Shoreline (excluding The Highlands), parts of unincorporated Snohomish County, a portion of the Town of Woodway, the City of Mountlake Terrace, and the Highlands Sewer District.

Last week you gave your heart. This week, give blood!

Blood Buddies Tom and Robert say, "Put'er there, pal!" 

By Tom Petersen

The Puget Sound Blood Center’s mobile unit will be back in Richmond Beach this Saturday, February 23, from 10am to 4pm. This is the first of six blood drives for 2013 in Richmond Beach; they come about every eight weeks, which is the allowable gap between a person’s donations.

The bloodmobile will be parked in front of the Shoreline Fire Safety Center, at corner of 20th Ave NW and Richmond Beach Road.

Bring A Buddy!

Richmond Beach’s neighborhood theme this year is “Bring A Friend!”  The neighborhood has a long record of successful drives, thanks to a large group of regular donors, but the pool always needs replenishing. Surveys show that people are more likely to start donating blood, and become regular donors, if they go with an experienced friend who can show them how easy, safe, and fun it is. So, whether it’s a Valentine sweetie or the bud you’re going to watch the Daytona 500 with . . . Bring A Friend!

Book Two!

Donating blood is quick and convenient already, but even more so with an appointment. Reserving a particular time is done online and going to “search drives” under “donate blood.”  There, all drives in the area in the coming weeks (not just Richmond Beach) can be found. Of course, walk-ups are always welcome. PSBC also has permanent, open-daily storefronts in Lynnwood and northern Seattle that are handy to Shoreline.

Quick-Start business workshop Tuesday Feb 19

The Tuesday Quick-Start Shoreline Business Workshop for start-up, existing or potential business owners will be held on February 19, 2013 from 12 noon to 1:30 pm at Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Avenue N.

Special 2 part series:

"Successful Pay Per Click Marketing Campaigns with Google Adwords"

Feb 19th:  Adwords Strategy- how to think about and approach Pay Per Click Advertising for positive Return on Investment.

Feb 26th:  Adwords Tactics, real world techniques and tips that work.  (Now that You Understand the Strategy)

Adwords Pay Per Click advertising can eat up a budget seemingly overnight, and with no results. If you've tried Adwords, tempted by the $75 free get started coupon, or by adwords express, you probably have wondered, why isn't this working for me?These workshops should help give you the answers.

There are assumptions that Google makes, that you need to know, before you can begin to get positive results from Online Search Advertising. We will start with the context and strategy behind a successful campaign, and will  focus in on keyword based Search Advertising, following up with real life examples and tips and tricks. This is designed as a beginner's workshop, but the expectation is that you have looked at Adwords, and may have tried it, but with mixed success. If you are currently running your own campaigns, you are likely to see some new approaches and examples that will help you optimize your work.

In this two part workshop, we we will cover the basics of Search advertising.  In the first session, we will understand the theory, and the must-dos in your website and customer understanding that have to be in place to start a pay per click campaign. In the second session, we will put that strategic approach to work, and delve into the tactics of how to structure a campaign, bid on keywords and write ad copy that will generate an ROI, and most importantly, how to set your accounts up so you can measure results.

Feed birds - not coyotes


Lake Forest Park is advising residents of the negative consequences of feeding wild animals.

Many people feed wildlife because they believe it helps them survive. Unfortunately, that could not be farther from the truth. Wild animals that are being fed by humans will quickly become dependent on this unnatural food source and will lose their natural fear of humans. This inevitably leads to negative human/wildlife interactions (such as close encounters with coyotes). In addition, feeding wildlife creates an unsustainable wildlife population with characteristics such as poor health and increased rate of premature death. People that truly care for wildlife do not feed them.
