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.”

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.

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:

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."

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:

A short Q&A with director, Greg Brotherton,
will follow screening. DVDs will be available for $10. Details at

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.

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."

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

SCC Presents “Eurydice” by Sarah Ruhl
7:30pm, Nov. 12-14 and 19-21 & 2pm, Nov. 22
L ove,
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 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

the enthusiasm of the production staff and a new group of eager and talented
