*************** NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS *****************

STATE BUDGET PROBLEM NOW $2.6 BILLION
As anticipated, the projected hole in the state budget got deeper when officials announced Thursday that the expected deficit is now $2.6 billion.

“As Gov. Gregoire said a week ago, ‘This is dire,’” Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert said Thursday afternoon, Nov. 19, 2009. “The previous forecast put the problem at $1.8 billion, but most people thought it would slide to at least $2 billion, maybe a little more. This is worse than we expected.”  Read more at On Campus page.

7pm, Tuesday, December 1, SCC Theater

Free Screening of FINDING PLAYLAND -
an hour-long neighborhood documentary exploring what it meant to work and play with the family at Seattle's long-lost Playland Amusement Park on the shores of Bitterlake, just off Aurora avenue at 130th St. in North Seattle.  Open from 1930 until 1960, generations of Seattle kids were thrilled by rides such as the Shoot the Chutes and the Big Dipper.  Regional amusement parks such as Playland were a characteristic feature of American urban centers at this time and Playland's story reflects opportunities and changes in American history. 

Frenetic Productions is an award-winning Seattle-based film production company.  Their most recent release, THE VIOLIN MAKER, took honors at the 2009 International Documentary Challenge and has been screened at the Port Townsend Film Festival.  The film is available to view in its entirety at: http://www.freneticproductions.com/.

A short Q&A with director, Greg Brotherton, will follow screening. DVDs will be available for $10. Details at http://www.findingplayland.com/.

PEBB DEPENDENT PROJECT VERIFICATION UPDATE
Dependent Verification Project Update

The PEBB Program recently mailed 81,000 letters to employees who had dependents enrolled under their account as of September 1, 2009.  The letter requested verification of dependent eligibility for PEBB benefits.  If you received a letter, your response is due by November 30, 2009.  If you didn’t receive a letter and think you should have because you had dependents on your account September 1 or if you overlooked it or lost it, you can expect another letter late in December reminding you of the need to provide verification.    PEBB will reach out again by mail before we take any action related to your dependents.
  
Literally tens of thousands of you are responding as requested. Once we process your documents, we will send you a letter either confirming verification of your dependents' eligibility, confirming termination of your dependent per your request, or asking you for additional information. It may take us four weeks to process your materials, so please be patient.  And remember, no dependents will be removed from coverage due to your non-response until we have made additional efforts to contact you for your verification information.

You can find more information about the dependent verification process on PEBB's website at http://www.pebb.hca.wa.gov/ by selecting "Verify My Family Members."

an hour-long neighborhood documentary exploring what it meant to work and play with the family at Seattle's long-lost Playland Amusement Park on the shores of Bitterlake, just off Aurora avenue at 130th St. in North Seattle.  Open from 1930 until 1960, generations of Seattle kids were thrilled by rides such as the Shoot the Chutes and the Big Dipper.  Regional amusement parks such as Playland were a characteristic feature of American urban centers at this time and Playland's story reflects opportunities and changes in American history.

THEFT ALERT
Although we all know we need to be mindful about putting our personal items in a safe place at work, sometimes we are reminded to do so by those who take advantage of us.  On Monday of this week, two employees returned to their desks after having been gone only a short time and only across the hallway, to find their wallet and cell phones gone. Two other similar incidents occurred earlier this fall in employee offices in the 2800 and 2900 buildings.  Read more at On Campus page.

ENROLLMENT UP, FUNDING DOWN ACROSS THE STATE
The numbers are in from across the state and it is clear that community and technical colleges are doing more with less, lots more with lots less.

Community and technical colleges continue to be part of the solution to Washington’s economic recovery with people turning to two-year colleges in record numbers. The latest numbers from fall quarter 2009 show that enrollments are up 16 percent above the state-funded level. At the same time, that state-funded level is down 11 percent.  Read more at On Campus page.

The PEBB Program recently mailed 81,000 letters to employees who had dependents enrolled under their account as of September 1, 2009.  The letter requested verification of dependent eligibility for PEBB benefits.  If you received a letter, your response is due by November 30, 2009.  If you didn’t receive a letter and think you should have because you had dependents on your account September 1 or if you overlooked it or lost it, you can expect another letter late in December reminding you of the need to provide verification.    PEBB will reach out again by mail before we take any action related to your dependents.
  
Literally tens of thousands of you are responding as requested. Once we process your documents, we will send you a letter either confirming verification of your dependents' eligibility, confirming termination of your dependent per your request, or asking you for additional information. It may take us four weeks to process your materials, so please be patient.  And remember, no dependents will be removed from coverage due to your non-response until we have made additional efforts to contact you for your verification information.

FREE SCREENING OF "FINDING PLAYLAND" FILM
7pm, Tuesday, December 1, SCC Theater

Free Screening of FINDING PLAYLAND -
an hour-long neighborhood documentary exploring what it meant to work and play with the family at Seattle's long-lost Playland Amusement Park on the shores of Bitterlake, just off Aurora avenue at 130th St. in North Seattle.  Open from 1930 until 1960, generations of Seattle kids were thrilled by rides such as the Shoot the Chutes and the Big Dipper.  Regional amusement parks such as Playland were a characteristic feature of American urban centers at this time and Playland's story reflects opportunities and changes in American history. 

Frenetic Productions is an award-winning Seattle-based film production company.  Their most recent release, THE VIOLIN MAKER, took honors at the 2009 International Documentary Challenge and has been screened at the Port Townsend Film Festival.  The film is available to view in its entirety at: http://www.freneticproductions.com/.

A short Q&A with director, Greg Brotherton, will follow screening. DVDs will be available for $10. Details at http://www.findingplayland.com/.

"DEATH IS SHORT, MAKE THE MOST OF IT!" 
SCC Presents “Eurydice” by Sarah Ruhl
7:30pm, Nov. 12-14 and 19-21 & 2pm, Nov. 22

Love, death and rock and roll take center stage in the Shoreline Community College production of Sarah Ruhl’s award-winning play, a modern adaptation of the classic myth, “Eurydice." 

“This is one of the most ambitious projects that the Shoreline Drama Department has ever undertaken. Building off of the buzz that has been steadily growing around the Shoreline theater community, the time seemed right to harness the enthusiasm of the production staff and a new group of eager and talented actors to take on a daring project like this,” says director Jesse Ross. 

The scale and scope of this production are extraordinary, not just for Shoreline Community College, but for any non-profit theater organization in the region.  Set construction began last summer and the production as a whole has relied on the contributions of more than 40 students, faculty, and staff members.

Love, death and rock and roll take center stage in the Shoreline Community College production of Sarah Ruhl’s award-winning play, a modern adaptation of the classic myth, “Eurydice." 

“This is one of the most ambitious projects that the Shoreline Drama Department has ever undertaken. Building off of the buzz that has been steadily growing around the Shoreline theater community, the time seemed right to harness the enthusiasm of the production staff and a new group of eager and talented actors to take on a daring project like this,” says director Jesse Ross. 

The scale and scope of this production are extraordinary, not just for Shoreline Community College, but for any non-profit theater organization in the region.  Set construction began last summer and the production as a whole has relied on the contributions of more than 40 students, faculty, and staff members.

Love, death and rock and roll take center stage in the Shoreline Community College production of Sarah Ruhl’s award-winning play, a modern adaptation of the classic myth, “Eurydice." 

“This is one of the most ambitious projects that the Shoreline Drama Department has ever undertaken. Building off of the buzz that has been steadily growing around the Shoreline theater community, the time seemed right to harness the enthusiasm of the production staff and a new group of eager and talented actors to take on a daring project like this,” says director Jesse Ross. 

The scale and scope of this production are extraordinary, not just for Shoreline Community College, but for any non-profit theater organization in the region.  Set construction began last summer and the production as a whole has relied on the contributions of more than 40 students, faculty, and staff members.

Love, death and rock and roll take center stage in the Shoreline Community College production of Sarah Ruhl’s award-winning play, a modern adaptation of the classic myth, “Eurydice." 

“This is one of the most ambitious projects that the Shoreline Drama Department has ever undertaken. Building off of the buzz that has been steadily growing around the Shoreline theater community, the time seemed right to harness the enthusiasm of the production staff and a new group of eager and talented actors to take on a daring project like this,” says director Jesse Ross. 

The scale and scope of this production are extraordinary, not just for Shoreline Community College, but for any non-profit theater organization in the region.  Set construction began last summer and the production as a whole has relied on the contributions of more than 40 students, faculty, and staff members.

The redesigned Shoreline Community College Web site rolled out Tuesday, Oct. 13, with many kudos and comments submitted through the feedback@shoreline.edu e-mail link that is temporarily posted on new home page.  By far, the No. 1 comment was, “Where’s the ‘staff’ link?”  Good to know that many people access all the good stuff on the college Intranet site through the home page. The Web Work Group wouldn’t do away with such an important link, but the home page is aimed primarily at those new to the college.  So, here’s the answer: Bottom right corner of the page and it's now called “Intranet.” It links to the same place as before.

The best way to give your feedback on the new site is by e-mail at feedback@shoreline.edu. Members of the Web Work Group are looking at every response, fixing the things that can be fixed, explaining the explainable and trying to respond to every comment.

NEW WEB SITE
The redesigned Shoreline Community College Web site rolled out Tuesday, Oct. 13, with many kudos and comments submitted through the feedback@shoreline.edu e-mail link that is temporarily posted on new home page.  By far, the No. 1 comment was, “Where’s the ‘staff’ link?”  Good to know that many people access all the good stuff on the college Intranet site through the home page. The Web Work Group wouldn’t do away with such an important link, but the home page is aimed primarily at those new to the college.  So, here’s the answer: Bottom right corner of the page and it's now called “Intranet.” It links to the same place as before.

The best way to give your feedback on the new site is by e-mail at feedback@shoreline.edu. Members of the Web Work Group are looking at every response, fixing the things that can be fixed, explaining the explainable and trying to respond to every comment.
