Shorecrest Football: Wiped Out During White Out

Marcus Tidwell barrels into the end zone

Shorecrest Scots football vs Edmonds-Woodway 
Friday, September 13, 2019 
Edmonds-Woodway 38 - Shorecrest 14

Text and Photos by Rob Oxford

If the Shorecrest Scots had visions of cruising through the WesCo South on their way to a 3A Championship this season, Friday night's surprising 2nd half beat-down by the Edmonds-Woodway Warriors hopefully put things into perspective.

The Warriors, who scored 38 unanswered points after trailing at the half 14 - 0 were in no way the better team leading up to kickoff, yet they were the ones celebrating after the final buzzer and rightfully so.

Designated as this season’s “White Out” game, which encourages fans to dress in white as a show of solidarity, the Scots had been expected to be 2 and 0 at the end of the contest and coming into Shoreline Stadium the Warriors had to have felt inferior.

Scots Offensive Guard Jacob Halvorson in pass protection

I imagine they, too were privy to the preseason hype identifying Shorecrest as “the team to beat”. Regardless, Highlander fans, at least those who didn’t leave at halftime thinking they had seen all they needed to see, would make the short drive home scratching their heads and wondering “what just happened?”

A narrow victory against Marysville-Getchell the week prior should have been a wakeup call for the Scots. Unfortunately, a lot of the same mistakes were made on the offensive side of the ball. False starts, holding and procedure penalties, fumbles, dropped and under-thrown passes all led to stalled drives and turnovers.

If there was one shining moment, it would have to be the touchdown scored by Junior Running Back Marcus Tidwell, his first on the season. At 5’11 205 lbs. Tidwell appears to enjoy going through would-be tacklers instead of around them.

An additional highlight could be the play of Senior Gannon Dow. The 5’11 WR was called on to replace Eladio Fountain after the Quarterback left the game with a minor injury. Dow was able to scramble for positive yardage, however there seem to be some miscommunication with his receivers on a couple of passing plays.

The Scots Defense, on the other hand, couldn’t have played much better. Although a few instances of poor open-field tackling extended what should have been several 3 and outs, for most of the night the Warriors were unable to move the ball on the ground effectively. Three of the Warrior touchdowns were scored while the Defense was still on the sideline. 

A Punt return, a pick 6 and a fumble return for a touchdown would have been more than enough to secure a Warrior victory, but football is as much a mental game as it is physical and once a deficit seems unsurmountable, it’s difficult to convince young men that a chance to come back still exists.

During the 2nd half several Scots' players were sidelined with various injuries and those that weren’t had been playing both sides of the ball for most of the night. Conditioning is what makes a “4th Quarter Team” and the Scots are simply not there yet.

In trying to focus on something positive to be gained from the night's disappointing loss, one can take solace in the fact that due to the injuries indicated above, Head Coach Brandon Christensen was forced to play many of his second-stringers and from where this reporter was sitting, the Scots seem to have much more depth than one might initially assume.

In his first taste of varsity action, Junior Defensive Linemen Wyatt Patenaude came up with a couple big tackles as did Max Takhtarev, who for the second time this season made a significant impact on defense.

Win or Lose - A proud Shorecrest Grandfather

For those Scots who see limited playing time, but contribute each practice by filling in on “scout teams,” the call came Friday Night and it was exciting to finally hear some of those names called by stadium announcer Wyatt Tonkin.

One such player is Kingston Lam. At 5’9 157 lbs., he’s not your prototypical linebacker, but when it comes to heart, you’ll find none bigger in the Shorecrest Locker Room.

Several Sophomores also found themselves filling significant roles late in the 4th Quarter. #22 Daryl Scot filled in for injured RB Markus Selzler and moved the ball downfield rather easily. While #28 Ben Seather-Brady did a commendable job returning kickoffs, replacing Des Fox who had also been banged up earlier in the 2nd half.

Although the outcome of Friday Night’s Home Opener was not what most in the audience had anticipated, the season has just started and quite often a 38 – 14 loss such as this is exactly what a good doctor might prescribe.

Next week the Scots travel to Everett for an 8pm start against the Seagulls and you can rest assured the Highlander Coaching Staff will be doing everything within their power to prepare the Scots for victory.

Amended Shoreline council agenda: responding to DSHS plans for Fircrest

Shoreline City Hall and Council Chamber
Photo by Steven H. Robinson
The following items has been added to the agenda for the Shoreline City Council meeting on Monday, September 16, 2019.

The staff report provides the following information regarding Study Item 9(a) Discussing Ordinance No 868

Based on the recent renewal of activity by the State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to submit a Fircrest Master Development Plan (MDP) that includes
  • the expansion of existing uses on the campus,
  • new uses that would support persons with developmental disabilities, and 
  • the siting of an Essential Public Facility (EPF), 

staff recommends that Council enact a citywide moratorium on the acceptance of permit applications for MDP permits and EPF Special Use Permits (SUPs).

A moratorium will allow staff time to study the current approval criteria for both permit types in relationship to the City’s goals and policies and determine and adopt adequate and relevant processes to best evaluate a plan that includes the siting of an EPF.

Shoreline author, Jeffrey D. Briggs, at Third Place Books on Tuesday, Sept 24

Shoreline resident and new author, Jeffrey D. Briggs, will be at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park Town Center on Tuesday, September 24, at 7pm, to read from his debut novel, Out of the Cold Dark Sea, book one in the Seattle Waterfront Mystery series. 

Set among locations familiar to area readers such as Ballard, Lake Union and Puget Sound, Out of the Cold Dark Sea features Martha Whitaker, who waits alone on a pier in the pre-dawn rain for her friend and mentor, Hewitt Wilcox.
Fear had laced his last message. Now she must control her own fear as she navigates secrets new and old to clear her name and locate her missing friend ...before anyone else is killed.

The dark, cold waters of Puget Sound can hide secrets for a long time until mysteries and old grudges arise like ghosts from a history long-forgotten.

When his empty van is hoisted from the frigid waters, Martha begins the search to find Hewitt.

Resourceful, strong, and steeled by inner wounds, Martha is joined by a crusading journalist who believes Hewitt’s disappearance may reveal secrets about an ugly chapter of American history.

Together they’re drawn into a sinister world of forgery, murder, and betrayal, and she is forced to confront her own dark past, where violence provided primal justice. In a fight for her life, she finds she’s in a fight for her soul.

Out of the Cold Dark Sea is a gripping debut in the Seattle Waterfront Mystery series from a journalist who plumes the depths people will go to for revenge.

Shoreline author Jeffrey D. Briggs
will be at Third Place Books
on September 24 at 7pm
Jeffrey D. Briggs, a writer and journalist, has been writing about the Seattle waterfront since he moved onto his sailboat thirty years ago. 

He now lives on land with his wife and dog and can often be found on the shores of Puget Sound, wondering what secrets lie hidden beneath those cold waters.

He has published over 350 articles in regional and national magazines. A long-time resident of Seattle, Wash., he took a detour in life and moved to Rochester, Minn., where he became a biomedical science writer for Mayo Clinic, and got to preview all his future diseases.

He also got to shovel many varieties of snow and experience his first Polar Vortex.

Realizing his mistake when he could no longer see out his office window because of snow drifts, he returned home to the Pacific Northwest, dropping anchor in Shoreline’s Richmond Beach, a beachfront community on the shores of Puget Sound.

Third Place Books is on the upper level of Town Center at the intersection of Bothell and Ballinger Way in Lake Forest Park.

Little Free Library saved from the wrecking ball

Little Free Library was headed
for the wrecking ball
Google maps
By Diane Hettrick

A well used and loved Little Free Library in Ridgecrest was saved after the property where it was located was going to be demolished.

Neighbors decided to work together to save it. Three of them got together and moved the library a block up the street, to a new home.

The Little Free Library was built and installed in its original location by the Scully family.

Still a Shoreline resident, Keith Scully said: 
"We built that as a family project with my mom and stepdad. They’ve both since passed, and I have amazing memories both of constructing it with them and of watching neighbors come to get and leave books. 
Happy in a new home

"I’m delighted you managed to preserve it. And yes, we moved – with new twins we outgrew the house and now live in Richmond Beach. But we miss Ridgecrest! Such amazing people."

According to the Ridgecrest neighborhood association,

"It is now open for business. Be sure to stop by and check out a book or 2 and drop off a couple in trade."

The Puyallup parade

You may know about the Western Washington Fair in Puyallup - but did you know that it starts with a parade down the main street in the town of Puyallup?


Steve Robinson was there with his camera to capture some of the highlights. The parade led up to the gates of the fair and inside (after a bag check and purchase of a ticket!)


The Grand Marshal is wearing a plaid shirt and sitting on a bale of hay in the back of a pick up truck.



The fair continues until September 22, 2019. But for now, enjoy the parade!



Looks like a fire vehicle - just different horsepower



Donkey - horse mix? Beautiful animal.
The little buggy looks like it should be carrying the town doctor.


Fire department - wonder what vintage this beauty is.

Book review by Aarene Storms: Brave

Brave by Svetlana Chmakova

In his daydreams, middle schooler Jensen is a hero who saves his friends from sunspots and zombies.

In real life, Jensen doesn't have real friends.

Then, one day, another student does something that changes everything.

This excellent graphic novel may stir up unpleasant memories of life in middle school... and it might just inspire readers to do something to change everything.

How cool would that be?

Recommended for readers ages 10 to adult.


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

Letter to the Editor: I support Doris McConnell

To the Editor:

I would like to add my voice in support of Doris McConnell in her race to represent Shoreline on the city council. Her opponent, David Chen, is not only a supporter of real estate developers, but now we learn he has been affiliated with Crista Ministries, am organization which does not support their LGBT students and staff.

I do not want someone representing me on my city council who does not support equal rights for all citizens. I cannot believe that Mr. Chen had no idea his employer, Crista, held these views. I suspect that with the recent brouhaha about staff and students leaving the school because they felt unwelcome, he decided to cut his losses and disassociate himself, but I am sure he has known all along about their 19th century policies.

Vote for Doris McConnell, she will represent all citizens of Shoreline fairly and she won't be selling out to real estate developers who want to cram more and more apartments into our city, cutting down trees and grabbing single family homes for profits.

AG Ferguson: Judge sanctions Eyman, rules that $766,000 given to him are political contributions

Tim Eyman has another initiative
on the fall ballot. I-976.
On Friday, September 13, 2019, a Thurston County Superior Court judge sanctioned initiative promoter Tim Eyman and ruled that more than $766,000 given to Eyman are contributions in support of ballot initiatives, not “gifts” from supporters as Eyman has claimed.

This $766,000 is separate from Eyman’s alleged improper personal use of more than $300,000 in contributions made to political committees and concealment of more than $490,000 in contributions that prompted Attorney General Bob Ferguson's original lawsuit.

“Today was a good day for campaign finance transparency and a bad day for Tim Eyman,” Ferguson said. 
“The judge found that more than $766,000 in payments to Eyman are not ‘gifts’ as he has claimed, they are contributions in support of ballot initiatives. That is significant. The law requires that all contributions be reported to the public at the time they are made. 
"Mr. Eyman has never reported these contributions. He ignored the law, and shielded his contributors from public view. Translation — this means that Tim Eyman concealed more than $766,000 in campaign contributions and the state can and will seek additional penalties for every day he fails to report them.”

Judge James Dixon granted Ferguson’s motion for non-monetary sanctions against Eyman, agreeing that Eyman has “willfully and deliberately” continued to defy court orders compelling him to produce documents related to the case.

In his order, Judge Dixon found that $766,447 in funds deposited in Eyman’s accounts between February 2012 and July 2018 “are hereby found to be ‘contributions’ in support of ballot propositions … and not gifts.”

The Attorney General’s Office uncovered these contributions in bank records obtained after filing its lawsuit.

“In the 19 months that the Eyman Defendants have been held in contempt, they have failed to provide the information ordered by the Special Discovery Master and this Court, despite clear instructions on what exactly needed to be provided,” Dixon ruled.

Dixon’s decision noted that multiple previous orders and contempt sanctions against Eyman have not accomplished their purpose of compelling him to turn over documents. 

Eyman has racked up more than $236,000 in daily contempt sanctions related to discovery violations since February of 2018. 

The court originally ordered $250 per day in sanctions starting Feb. 16, 2018 while Eyman failed to provide the required information to the state. When Eyman continued his refusal to comply, the court doubled the daily penalty to $500 as of Sept. 7, 2018.

In July, Eyman was found in contempt a second time because of his refusal to disclose complete information related to hundreds of thousands of dollars of payments he solicited from individual donors.

In September of 2015, the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) referred the Tim Eyman case to Attorney General Ferguson for enforcement. The chair of the PDC Commission described the case as “one of the most egregious the PDC has seen.”

In March of 2017, Ferguson filed the campaign finance lawsuit against Eyman, alleging improper personal use of more than $300,000 in contributions made to political committees, concealment of more than $490,000 in contributions and misleading reporting. Additional concealed contributions were discovered during the State’s investigation since then. The lawsuit also accuses Citizen Solutions of participating in a scheme to conceal campaign money the company funneled to Eyman.

Assistant Attorneys General Eric Newman, Todd Sipe and Paul Crisalli are handling the case.

Rep. Gerry Pollet on vapor products

Rep. Gerry Pollet, D-46
Rep. Gerry Pollet, D-46, released the following statement in reaction to the announcement of Washington’s first recorded case of an illness related to vapor products.

“I am saddened to see that the rash of vapor product and e-cigarette illnesses has impacted one of our neighbors here in Washington. I wish this individual a speedy recovery. 
"We passed first-in-the-nation legislation to allow our Department of Health to bar toxic substances and ingredients that may cause illness in the hopes that we would never have such news.
“We know that these are dangerous products and that the companies who make these products have impermissibly been marketing them as safe. Vapor products aren’t safe. Neither are e-cigarettes or any form of tobacco. 
"I have introduced and passed legislation in previous years to tackle this epidemic that disproportionately affects our children and young adults. I am going to keep fighting to protect our neighbors, children, and students from these highly toxic products. 
"I look forward to working with our state Department of Health, Governor Inslee and local public health officials to remove products with toxic substances from sale and to pass legislation ending the sale of flavored vape and e-cigarette products aimed at addicting youth.”

Rep. Pollet represents the 46th Legislative District in the Washington state legislature. The 46th District includes the City of Lake Forest Park, City of Kenmore, Seattle neighborhood of Lake City and other parts of northeast Seattle.

"Ladies Man" at Phoenix Theatre opens Sept 27


Phoenix Theatre in Edmonds kicks off its 2019/2020 season with an explosion of inspired craziness. 

Ladies Man by Charles Morey (adapted from Tailleur Pour Dame by George Feydeau) is the laugh-out-loud comedy set in Paris about the recently married Dr. Hercule Molineaux who tells “one, tiny, little, hardly noticeable lie” to cover an innocent, but embarrassing, indiscretion. 
From that single untruth tumbles a hilarious and infectiously charming farce.

What press has said:
