Tracey has attended QuickStart Shoreline since its first workshop and, with the help of many of the initial participants, formed her business, Ready Set, Grow Marketing, to meet the demand she saw of other business owners who were experimenting with Social Media and needed some expert guidance.

The founding of Ready Set Grow Marketing has resulted in speaking engagements with dozens of business organizations (including more than 10 QuickStart workshops) an Adjunct Professor role at Shoreline Community College, the publishing of her first book and in invitation to join the National Speakers Association as incoming President for our local chapter.  

"I'm excited to be able to continue to participate and to give back to the QuickStart Shoreline program which has been an invaluable resource to me as I conceptualized, formed and continue to grow my business. I have made valuable personal and business connections, I’ve learned a great deal about business and I’ve been given a stage to develop my craft.  I look forward to watching this unique program continue to grow over the years.”

"Storytelling, building your brand, and listening effectively with Social Media"

People are making their business decisions differently than they ever have, and Social Media can be a powerful tool to help those who are looking to hire you! The days of, “Oh, I don’t want to do Social Media,” are in the past. In this case, what you don't know, can hurt you! 

Part two: What are others saying about you (and your business)? January 28
Council Chambers, Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Ave N

  • Using Twitter to listen
  • How to respond when people complain
  • Understanding what you can and can't control

*Both workshop sessions will will build off one another, but each will stand on its own as well if you cannot attend both.

Earthquake of enormous magnitude hits the Pacific Northwest coast on January 26, 1700

Earthquake of enormous magnitude hits the Pacific Northwest coast on January 26, 1700.

On January 26, 1700, at about 9:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time a gigantic earthquake occurs 60 to 70 miles off the Pacific Northwest coast. The quake violently shakes the ground for three to five minutes and is felt along the coastal interior of the Pacific Northwest including all counties in present-day Western Washington. A tsunami forms, reaching about 33 feet high along the Washington coast, travels across the Pacific Ocean and hits the east coast of Japan. Japanese sources document this earthquake, which is the earliest documented historical event in Western Washington. Other evidence includes drowned groves of red cedars and Sitka spruces in the Pacific Northwest. Indian legends corroborate the cataclysmic occurrence.

The Earth Moves

The earthquake ruptured what is known as the Cascadia subduction zone -- the area of overlap between two of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's surface, the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American plate. The Cascadia subduction zone extends from Vancouver Island, British Columbia (about 49 degrees 30 minutes North Latitude) south to Cape Mendocino in northern California (about 40 degrees North Latitude). The earthquake dropped the entire Pacific Northwest ocean coastline three to six feet. The tsunami, up to 33 feet high, inundated the ocean coast.

This was one of the largest earthquakes the Pacific Northwest has ever had. It compares with two disastrous earthquakes: the March 27, 1964 Alaska earthquake, which measured 9.2 moment magnitude, and the May 21-22, 1960 Chile earthquake, which measured 9.5 moment magnitude.

Japan's Orphan Tsunami

The tsunami traveled across the Pacific Ocean for some 10 hours and at midnight on January 27, 1700, local time, it hit the east coast of Honshu Island, the main island of Japan. Four contemporary Japanese sources describe the 6- to 10-foot-high tsunami and five of the towns it inundated along 600 miles of the Honshu Island coast.

The Japanese call the tsunami their "orphan tsunami" because no earthquake felt in Japan accompanied it.

Seawater-drowned Groves and Indian Legends

Drowned groves of trees occur in several places in the Pacific Northwest. They have been dated within 30 or 40 years of the known date of the earthquake, which is suggestive but not conclusive. However, carbon dating of the tree rings of a seawater-drowned red cedar near the Copalis River in Grays Harbor County show that the tree died between August 1699 and May 1700, that is, in the same earthquake.

Native Americans witnessed this earth-shattering event. Ruth Ludwin, a University of Washington geophysics professor has searched for Indian legends that could refer to the event. She has found many similar tales of plains becoming oceans, mudslides, and the like.

The Hoh Indians of the Forks area of the Olympic Peninsula tell of an enormous "shaking, jumping and trembling of the earth ..." (The Seattle Times). The Makah who live on Neah Bay at the northwest tip of the continent have a version in which a whale is delivered to the mouth of a river and saves the people who had been starving. This legend forms the basis for the tribe's whale hunt.

Tech Talk: A little white lie trips up apps

This Sunday at 2:30pm in Third Place Commons, Town Center at Lake Forest Park; Brian explores “The Ebook Experience: Formats, Devices, and Sources” in a free Q/A session. More information at bostonlegacyworks.com


By Brian Boston

A Little White Lie Trips Up Apps Too!
“Quicken 2014 says my Windows 7 is not supported.”
That was the problem posed to me a few weeks ago by a client who had been using Intuit’s accounting package for years, faithfully upgrading it each year. Starting Quicken after his most recent upgrade produced two puzzling error messages.

The first message stated that Quicken does not support “running as administrator.” Closing that message produced another message, stating that “Quicken requires Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later to run.” and adding that his version of Windows is not supported.  

Since my client had the only account on the PC, he was the administrator, but the first message suggests he shouldn’t be. The other message suggested that he might be running a pretty old version of Windows. It was very confusing.

Why were these messages appearing? Because Windows 7 was telling Quicken 2014 what it thought it wanted to hear … all in the name of program compatibility.

Compatibility Is in the Eye of the Application 
As Windows has changed in feature sophistication and security, its compatibility with existing applications becomes more problematic. Older applications are unaware of these changes and often have difficulty handling the new restrictions placed on them. The most common compatibility problems occur for programs when (1) they either do something no longer permitted or (2) the Windows version is interpreted incorrectly.

As a result applications, as they start up, typically make requests of the operating system to check for earlier, incompatible OS versions. Unfortunately, many applications misinterpret the results of those requests, disqualifying a new, unfamiliar OS.

For this reason, Windows has included the ability to “lie” to applications, telling them that the current version of the operation system is actually earlier version of Windows that is more acceptable to the application.  This functionality has been built into Windows for the last decade or so under the name “Compatibility Mode.” Compatibility mode will also change Windows’ interaction with the program to accommodate the use of old-style program requests. The latest form of this is included in the Program Compatibility Assistant.

Older programs are also unaware of many security restriction Windows now have in place to protect the system and other applications from malware infection. So these programs often fail if they cannot access or save to protected areas of the hard drive or system memory. In order to run successfully, they need “administrator access.” or to “run as an administrator.”

From Windows 8
The Compatibility Tab
As a result, the properties for a program displays a tab for Compatibility (example shown here from Windows 8). To view this on your Windows 8.1 and earlier system, Right-click on a Desktop or Explorer program icon and chose Properties from the resulting menu.)

Though settings have evolved over the time, two of the most useful are “Run this program in compatibility mode for…” and “Run this program as an administrator.”

The first allows you to tell an application you are running in a previous version of Windows. The second grants the program “administrative rights” to access normally protected parts of the system.

Compatibility Settings are a Double-Edged Sword
Of course, setting administrative rights and a different version of Windows can also backfire, especially with an up-to-date version of a program like Quicken 2014.


From Windows 8.1
A check of the compatibility tab on the icon for my client’s version of the software showed both the administrator and compatibility mode options checked and the compatibility mode was set to Windows XP, Service Pack 2. 

Now the error messages actually make sense. Quicken 2014 does not support any version less that Windows XP, Service Pack 3. And, as it was designed to work within the security boundaries of Windows 7, an objection was made running the using less secure administrator settings.

How Were These Compatibility Settings Applied Initially?
Its hard to know for sure, but I suspect the icon and its compatibility settings were “inherited” from one version of Quicken to another over the years, until a version of the software was installed wouldn’t tolerate them in place anymore.

This Could Happen to an Application Near You
Given that Windows XP, an common compatibility emulation for Windows Vista, 7, and 8/8.1, is reaching its “end of support” cycle this year, we will probably be seeing more of these scenarios in the coming months. More and more application updates will drop support for Windows XP, and if Windows XP compatibility settings are in place, they will also complain as Quicken 2014 did for my client.

Do you have a technical question that needs to be answered or explored?
Please share it with me at brian@bostonlegacyworks.com.

Edwin Pratt is murdered outside of his Shoreline home on January 26, 1969


Edwin Pratt is murdered outside of his Shoreline home on January 26, 1969.

On January 26, 1969, civil rights leader and Seattle Urban League Executive Director Edwin Pratt (1930-1969) is killed by a shotgun blast in the doorway of his home at 17916 1st Avenue NE in Shoreline.

Edwin T. Pratt was born December 6, 1930, in Miami, Florida. He attended Clark College in Atlanta, Georgia, and received a Master's degree in Social Work from Atlanta University. He joined the Urban League and served in Cleveland and Kansas City before his appointment in 1956 as Community Relations Secretary of the Seattle Urban League. In 1961 he became Executive Director.

The Crime

On the ill-fated Sunday evening of January 26, 1969, the city of Shoreline was covered in snow. Having cancelled their original plans as a result of the weather, Pratt and his wife Bettye were looking forward to "a quiet evening by the fireplace" (The Stranger). At around 9:00 p.m., shortly after putting their 5-year-old daughter Miriam Katherine to bed, Edwin and Bettye heard a noise outside that sounded like a snowball hitting the window. While Pratt went to the front door to investigate, Bettye looked out their bedroom window. From the window Bettye could see two men crouched down behind Pratt's car in the carport, and she noticed that one was carrying what appeared to be a shotgun. She immediately shouted to Pratt: "Look out, they've got a rifle!" (Seattle P-I, January 28, 1969). It was too late. Upon opening the door, Pratt was shot in the face and died almost instantly.

Witnesses reported seeing two men, both about six feet tall and in their late teens or early twenties, flee the Pratt home and head west onto NE 179th Street, where they jumped into a car and sped away. It is assumed that a third person was involved, as the driver of the getaway car. One neighbor told police that he thought the car was a two-toned newer model Buick Skylark, a sports type. No one was able to get a license plate number. Furthermore, because of the darkness no witness was able to tell whether the assailants were white or black.

The day after the shooting, a reward totaling $10,500 was offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Pratt's killers. Thomas A. Nault, Chief of King County Detectives said: "It looks like the only way we're going to get anywhere is if some citizen comes forward with valid information" (Seattle P-I, January 29, 1969).

Honoring Edwin Pratt

Thursday, January 30, 1969, was declared a public day of mourning for Edwin Pratt. Acting Mayor Floyd Miller issued a proclamation ordering all flags to be flown at half-staff and urged the public to attend a memorial service for Pratt at 5:30 p.m. in Saint Mark's Cathedral. Pratt's friends, family, and civic leaders expressed shock and sadness at his death and spoke with respect and admiration for his life. James I. Kimbrough, Urban League President from 1965 to 1967, said of his close friend Pratt: "There was no one in this community whom I respected more. This whole thing is senseless. I'm unable to grasp it."

Joseph L. McGavick, Chairman of the State Board Against Discrimination, said:

    "Ed Pratt was one of the most responsible and able people in the whole area of civil rights. He was one of the most highly principled people I've ever worked with. He took a lot of heat at times from both whites and blacks, but he always maintained a perfect balance, perspective and sensitivity on human rights. He was an outstanding human being. I can't possibly imagine a motive for such a terrible thing" (Seattle P-I, January 27, 1969).

The Edwin Pratt Case

The day after the murder, the FBI entered the investigation at the request of the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Justice Department. Despite the added manpower, after three and a half months, the investigation was at a standstill. Detective Sergeant Gordon Hartshorn of the King County Department of Public Safety said on May 7, 1969: "There's nothing to go on. Nothing. It's the most frustrating homicide I've worked on in my 14 years on the force" (Seattle P-I, May 8, 1969). Detective Sergeant Hartshorn said that the car was the closest to a clue police ever had. However, even that was now questionable. He said:

    "It seems it could have been any of several General Motors sports types. Many look similar in the dark. We've checked out thousands of cars that people have tipped us off about. But ... we got nothing, nothing at all" (Seattle P-I, May 8, 1969).

In January 1970, the business groups who had offered the reward cancelled it. Sheriff Jack Porter explained, "It has been nearly a year now since the slaying. We felt that if the reward was going to produce results, it would be within a year" (Seattle P-I, January 13, 1970).

Case Not Closed

For the next 20-odd years, no new solid evidence was uncovered and no apparent progress was made in the Edwin Pratt murder investigation. In 1994, free-lance journalist David Newman took an interest in the Pratt case and requested that the police files be released under the Public Disclosure Act. Newman was not alone in his request: Former investigators, Pratt's daughter Miriam, and Metropolitan County Councilmen Larry Gosset (b. 1945), Larry Phillips (b. 1956), and Ron Sims (b. 1948)  were also petitioning the King County Police Department to release the files, in the hope that the case might finally be solved with the public's help. Claiming exemption from the Act for police investigative files, King County only granted a partial release of the file. Several key documents, including interviews with suspects, were withheld. Captain Dan Richmond, homicide Commander, explained:

    "The only reason for not opening it up is the chance that someone might confess. It's one or two items the perpetrator might know. It's not much. It's nothing that would solve the case, but it's something that would keep the wrong person from admitting to it" (Seattle P-I, November 10, 1994). 

Newman subsequently filed a lawsuit against the County. A Superior Court judge agreed to release the files to Newman, but only once they had been vetted for any material pertinent in an active investigation. However, King County Police immediately appealed the decision and in November 1997, the Washington Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that so long as the Police Department deemed it necessary, the Pratt files should remain closed, as opening them to outside scrutiny would be counter to effective law enforcement.

Newman's investigation into Pratt's murder led him to question how well the police handled the case. One officer reportedly told Newman "I was unprepared for handling the homicide of a prominent person. In fact, this was my first homicide" (The Stranger). This officer was one of the first to arrive at the scene. Apparently, the crime scene was very poorly and improperly secured. So much so that Kevin O'Shaughnessy, a retired King County Police Officer, said that it is "used as a training scenario about potential mistakes in controlling a crime scene by the Sheriff's Department" (The Stranger). On the night of the murder, a hundred or so police, firemen, neighbors and other curious and concerned citizens wandered freely around the Pratt property, right through the middle of the crime scene.

Chief Detective Nault recalled other difficulties with the initial investigation. He said, "We tried to do a moulage from the snow where the suspects' vehicle was parked, but the snow kept melting and we couldn't even get a partial print" (The Stranger). They were unable to get any clues from the shell casing found at the scene, since it was of a common brand. Finally, the fatal bullet had no particular markings, so it was of no help either. Nault also commented to Newman on the FBI's involvement in the case, saying that it seemed to be more hindering than helpful, because of lack of communication and cooperation between the agencies.

A Theory

The closest police have come to solving the Pratt murder was a theory presented in a 1994 Seattle Post-Intelligencer article. The theory was reminiscent of a Police statement in July 1970, which mentioned that the Department had a possible suspect in the Pratt killing, but the suspect had been murdered shortly thereafter. In 1970, Sergeant Hartshorn said: "We could be way off in left field. But one name keeps popping up and that man is dead" (Seattle P-I, July 23, 1970). In addition, Harstshorn indicated that Pratt's murder was possibly a contract hit. Although the police had some leads on the identity of the possible conspirators and accomplices, there was insufficient evidence to make any arrests.

In 1994, it came to light that the suspect was Tommy Kirk, a 21-year-old drug user, dealer, and "small-time hoodlum" (Seattle P-I, December 13, 1994). In May 1969, Kirk was found in a car at a Capitol Hill intersection, shot four times in the side. He was murdered by an acquaintance, Texas Barton Gray, who confessed to police that he shot Kirk in self-defense, because Kirk was about to kill him over a debt.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer received information on the Pratt murder from a man named Steve Butler, a former convict, recovering heroin addict, and acquaintance of Kirk's. Butler said that Kirk, Gray, and a third man had been hired by construction contractors to kill Pratt. Supposedly, the contractors were angry at Pratt's efforts to integrate blacks into the workforce. Allegedly, Kirk fired the rifle, Gray accompanied him, and the other man drove the getaway car. In an effort to reduce his sentence in Kirk's murder, Gray told Seattle detectives in 1969 that Kirk had killed Pratt, but did not implicate himself in the crime.

When the P-I story was published in 1994, Gray was unable to defend himself against Butler's accusations, since he died in 1991 of a heart attack. The man Butler named as the driver said in an interview with the P-I that he had heard Kirk was Pratt's killer and understood how he could have been implicated in the crime: "I had a Buick GSX; it was yellow and black. That kind of car was seen in the neighborhood when this happened" (Seattle P-I, December 13, 1994). He said that police had examined his car, but apparently found nothing.

King County detective Rick Gies, who was investigating the case in 1994, said that he'd received a couple of calls from people naming Kirk as Pratt's killer, but they differed from each other and from Butler as to the names of the accomplices and the amount paid for the hit. Kirk's name had also surfaced in the Pratt investigation in 1974, when a man told detectives that on the night Pratt was murdered, Kirk showed up at his house with a shotgun and admitted to killing Pratt. The man, who passed a polygraph test, said that the gun was hidden in a Queen Anne storage locker. When police searched the locker, no gun was found (Seattle P-I, December 13, 1994).

Captain Dan Richmond said: "It's obvious he (Kirk) is the most promising name we have" (Seattle P-I, December 13, 1994). But he and Gies were quick to point out that (just as in 1969 through to 1974 and later) all they had was hearsay, not physical evidence, which is crucial to conclusively solving a murder investigation.

Consequently, the 1969 murder of civil rights leader Edwin Pratt officially remains unsolved.

Book Review by Aarene Storms: A Confusion of Princes

A Confusion of Princes  by Garth Nix
audiobook read by Michael Goldstrom

Khemri tells the story of the three times he has died, and the time in-between those deaths.

Born a Prince in an intergalactic empire that identifies millions of princes as possible heirs to the ruling Emperor, Khemri's first challenge after emerging from a sheltered childhood is to survive the assassination attempts by other potential heirs.

His early training and biological enhancements make him "better than human," but it takes hostile aliens, rocketship battles, cybernetic gadgetry and a pretty naval reserve officer from a backwater fringe planet to teach Khemri how to be human.

With many nods to classic science fiction traditions in literature (Robert A Heinlein, Andre Norton and Isaac Asimov are obvious influences) and film (Star Wars, 2001, and many others), this rousing space-opera will appeal to readers who like a lot of action, a little introspection, and a touch of romance (and a few incidences of Star Trek sex as well--how appropriate!) 

The book--and the audiobook--are highly recommended for readers ages 12 to adult.  

The events may not have happened; still, the story is true.  --R. Silvern

County Council approves creation of Countywide Task Force to propose comprehensive plan for children and youth


The Metropolitan King County Council gave unanimous approval at its January 21 meeting to legislation that ensures that young people in King County have access to the resources and opportunities they need to become healthy, productive adults, calling for the development of a Youth Action Plan to create a holistic approach to deliver needed resources to young people throughout King County.

The adopted legislation calls for the creation of a broadly-based task force to develop a Youth Action Plan that would include the following elements:

  • Mission, vision, and defined outcomes that enable the County to advance its Strategic Plan and social justice and equity goals as they relate to youth,
  • A Bill of Rights for Youth,
  • Whether a single point of accountability should be established to lead the County’s children and youth services, programs and policies, and if so, it’s form, role and duties,
  • Identification of reform efforts and efficiencies, gaps, opportunities to take programs to scale, and recommendations to overcoming barriers to success,
  • Prioritization of programs and methodologies and recommendations related to funding,
  • Evaluation and reporting structure and implementation timeline.
The proposal calls on the County Executive to appoint members to a Youth Action Plan Task Force. The members of the task force would include elected officials, leaders from Seattle and suburban cities, and non-profit community partners that serve infants, children, youth and young adults. It would be charged with conducting information meetings with community members, stakeholders and consumers to keep interested parties informed on the development of the Plan.

“As a kid growing up in Renton, King County played an important role in my life. I played in our county parks, and received health care at our Public Health clinics. Today’s kids deserve our best efforts to ensure that they have every opportunity to grow up healthy, safe, and succeed in life,” said Councilmember Rod Dembowski, the prime sponsor of the ordinance. 
“This legislation brings together the broad spectrum of participants from throughout the region who help King County’s children and youth to recommit our collective efforts and honor our obligations as adults to the next generation. I look forward to working with these leaders to reform, renew and reinvest in our work to help King County’s kids achieve their full potential.”

Over the last 50 years, King County has been a leader in supporting programs for children, youth and young adults – including developing sports fields in local neighborhoods, providing public health visits for low-income infants and children, establishing a Youth and Family Services Network to help at-risk teens and families, and assisting youth who have become involved with the criminal justice system to take a fresh path. However, the Great Recession reduced or eliminated County support for many programs, and the programs still receiving county funding are operated through many different agencies, too often with little coordination between them.

As part of an initiative adopted by the Council in 2012, a countywide task force has worked to develop a plan for a collaborative, accountable, and integrated delivery of social safety net services in King County. The Youth Action Plan builds on that work.

The goal of the Youth Action Plan is to ensure that King County’s Strategic Plan objective to “promote opportunities for all communities and individuals to realize their full potential,” is applied to the County’s young people and reflected across all County departments, programs and initiatives. The plan also seeks to ensure that King County is a strong partner with the state, cities, private sector, non-profit and philanthropic organizations.

“As a former member of the King County Children and Families Commission, I am pleased to see King County leaders renewing their commitment to focusing on our community’s children and youth,” said State Representative Ruth Kagi, Chair of the House Early Learning and Human Services Committee. “The proposed legislation offers fresh hope for prioritization and investment in our kids.”

The Youth Action Task Force is charged with preparing a Youth Action Plan for the King County Council by the spring of 2015. 

“The Sheriff’s Office is proud to participate in King County’s Youth Action Plan,” said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. “Devoting more attention and resources to our youth will pay dividends in the long run by helping them to succeed and keeping kids out of the criminal justice system.”

2nd half shooting drought puts game out of reach for the Dolphins

Shoreline - Peninsula
Photo by Wilson Tsoi
By Drew Raher

After a closely contested first half in which neither team led by more than five points, the Peninsula College Pirates pulled away for a 76-56 victory over the Dolphins of Shoreline. While the score ended up lop-sided, the game was tight for the first twenty-five minutes as Shoreline used timely defense and clutch three-point shooting to give the Pirates everything they could handle.

The opening half saw the Pirates reach the free-throw line a total of 20 times thanks in large part to twelve Shoreline team fouls. Peninsula converted on 16 of those attempts to shoot 80%. Madison Pilster led the way going eight of ten from the charity stripe. Besides consistent free-throw shooting, the Pirates were determined to throw the ball inside to first-year post Gabi Fenumiai who controlled the paint scoring 10 points inside.

The Dolphins, on the other hand, used hot perimeter shooting to keep themselves within reach as Breyana Dutro (Fr, Kalihi, HI) came out on fire. She scored the first five points of the game for Shoreline on a nice driving lay-up and a long distance three-pointer from the wing. She finished with 11 in the opening stanza on 3 of 4 shooting from outside.

Bianca Benavides (So, Tukwila, WA) also had herself a productive first half knocking down two of three from long distance en route to nine first half points.

With the teams coming out of the locker room all knotted at 34, both teams traded baskets for a while until Madison Pilster took over the second period. The forward scored from the free-throw line, in the lane on pull-up jumpers and even drained a three pointer. The Dolphins zone defense kept her in check for the majority of the night, but Pilster was lethal in the open court. On the occasion Pilster would miss, Fenumiai was there to clean up the put-back.

Shoreline, though would continue to fight and showed great energy and resolve for the whole forty minutes as head Coach Darnellia Russell continues to mold this team as the season goes along.

Playing without starting forward Jordan Mahowald (Fr, Nine Mile Falls, WA), who was out with an ankle injury, provided some of the Dolphin reserves to see more action. Megan Lloyd (Fr, Salt Lake City, UT) and Sheree McDaniel (Fr, Seattle, WA) both contributed off the bench for Coach Russell and her staff as Lloyd finished with five points and two rebounds while McDaniels scored nine points in only 10 minutes.

The Dolphins were led by Dutro’s 18 points on four of six shooting from behind the arc, while Benavides chipped in 14 on 50% shooting from outside.

Peninsula (7-9, 4-2) got a season-high 26 points from Madison Pilster and Gabi Fenumiai tallied a double-double with 22 points and 15 rebounds.

Shoreline Community College (3-11, 1-5) will travel to Bellingham, WA to face off with first place Whatcom Community College this upcoming Saturday. The Dolphins will return home next Wednesday January 29th against Northwest Indian College in a non-conference tilt.

Peninsula pulls away on late 2nd half run as Dolphins drop home contest

Shoreline - Peninsula
Photo by Wilson Tsoi
By Drew Raher

The Dolphins could not overcome a scoring drought that plagued them midway through the second half as Peninsula would build a comfortable lead in the last five minutes of the contest for an 89-80 victory.

The first half turned into a back-and-forth affair as each team shot the ball particularly well from the field, with the both teams knocking down over 40% of their attempts. The scoring in the opening half was spread around a variety of players. The Pirates received some unexpected contributions from Juwan Flowers and Geno Horsley who tallied 13 and 10 points respectively in the opening period. Flowers, who came into the game shooting just 20% from three-point distance, converted on three of five tries from outside.

The Dolphins did a nice job on the defensive end holding the Pirates top two leading scorers to only 11 points as Xavier Bazile only made 3 of 10 shots and Tyler Mckinney finished 1 of 7 from the floor.

Shoreline had many different players contribute offensively in the first half, though no player more productive than Earl Thompson (So, Las Vegas, NV) who scored 13 points on 60% shooting. Local product Gage Carroll (So, Shoreline, WA) came off the bench to energize the crowd with two long treys and a timely three-point play on a driving layup en route to nine fist half points.

More important than the points or shooting percentages was the energy and vibe from not only the players on the court for Shoreline, but also the ones on the bench who were in the game from the start. The energy and effort, which Head Coach Greg Turcott had been looking for were on full display against the Pirates for the whole 40 minutes.

The Dolphins opened the second half on an 11-2 spurt, putting the Pirates back on their heels as head coach Mitch Freeman was forced to call two quick timeouts to stop Shoreline’s momentum. As it looked like the Dolphins may increase their lead with the score in the Dolphins’ favor at 44-38, Peninsula went on an 11-0 run of their own to take the lead for good. Shoreline was able to cut into the lead and pull within 8 points, but could not get closer than that.

Shoreline was led by Thompson’s 24 points on 11 of 22 shooting. He also grabbed 16 rebounds for his 7th double-double of the season. Deron Williams (So, Los Angeles, CA) was tallied seven points in both halves for a solid performance of 14 points on 60% shooting. Bronte Corbray (Fr, Seattle, WA) and Carroll finished with nine points apiece.

The Pirates’ Xavier Bazile came alive in the second half as he scored a game-high 25 points. Horsley and Flowers contributed 15 points each.

Shoreline Community College (3-14, 0-6) continues NWAACC play on the road at Whatcom this Saturday and will return home next Wednesday when they play host to Northwest Indian College.
