From Pastor Ron Marshall at First Lutheran Church of West Seattle:
JULY 9, 16, 23, 30: READ THE KORAN IN FOUR WEEKS, First Lutheran Church of West Seattle, 935-6530, www.flcws.org – Have you wanted to know for yourself what the Koran says in a world where Islam is mentioned nearly every day in the news? Then make plans now to join this four-week guided reading led by Pastor Ron Marshall — who’s been teaching this class four times a year since 2003. The $50 registration fee includes an authorized translation of the Koran for your keeping. Worksheets and other background handouts from Islamic scholars will be provided for each class session the week before. Call now to register or make inquiries. Enrollment is limited.
We interviewed Pastor Marshall about his unique class last year; see the story here.
Just in (this is the project we toured recently):
Contributions of $250,000 from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and
$150,000 from Safeco capped a two-year $13 million campaign by Neighborhood
House to build a LEED Gold-certified neighborhood center in West Seattle’s
High Point community. The closing major gifts that brought the campaign to
its goal were announced today at a fundraising event for the nonprofit
organization.The High Point Neighborhood Center will be an environmental learning center
in addition to housing social services and programs for low-income
individuals and families. Among its green features are 256 solar panels that
will cover 6,000 square feet of the building’s roof – the largest array of
solar panels in the state. The solar panels will light up Head Start and
English-language classrooms, heat a Family and Teen Center, fuel a community
kitchen, and save thousands of dollars a year – freeing up critical funds
that will go to services and programs instead of electrical bills.“The biggest solar array in the state is not on a rich person’s house, but
on a community center for the people – everyday people,” Van Jones, White
House Council on Environmental Quality, told Neighborhood House supporters
last year. “This is an extraordinary, bold, breakout move that changes the
agenda for the country.”The campaign’s final fundraising push will seek to raise an additional
$100,000 to purchase a second solar panel array that will then be expected
to power 100 percent of the building’s energy needs, making it one of the
very few energy-neutral structures in the state.Neighborhood House officially kicks off the final solar panel fundraising
effort on the longest day of the year – the summer solstice on June 21.
The official news release (and note that Sept. 7 is Labor Day holiday, so the libraries won’t reopen till Sept. 8):
THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM TO CLOSE
AUG. 31 THROUGH SEPT. 7
The Seattle Public Library system will close Monday, Aug. 31 through Sunday, Sept. 6 due to citywide budget cuts. Please note Monday, Sept. 7 is the Labor Day holiday and all libraries will be closed. Regular Library operations will resume Tuesday, Sept. 8.
All city departments identified reductions to address a $43 million gap in the 2009 city budget. The Library is funded from the city general fund.
The systemwide closure, along with other cuts, will help the Library meet a 2 percent budget reduction – about $1 million. The closure will save approximately $655,000.
The closure will mean salary reductions for about 700 employees who will not be paid, or accrue vacation or retirement benefits during those weeks. An additional $350,000 in cuts – which include management and administration layoffs, extending the staff computer replacement schedule and reducing the training budget, are also being implemented.
No Library services will be available during the one-week closure and will have the following impacts:
· No materials will be due and no fines will be accrued.
* The last day to check out Library items before the closure is Sunday, Aug. 30. Visit www.spl.org, or call 206-386-4636 for more information on which Library locations are open on Sunday and their hours of operation.
* No book drops will be open. Customers should keep books and materials at home until the Library system reopens. No fines will be charged during the closure week. Customers will be responsible for theft, loss or damage to Library materials left outside buildings.
* No access to the online catalog. You will not be able to search the catalog or databases, place holds on materials, or check your Library record.
* No access to the Web site (www.spl.org). No staff members will be working to maintain and troubleshoot problems. This means online computer sign-ups, the online reference service and other features will not be available.
* No Library computers will be available. You will not be able to reserve a computer for the week the Library system is closed.
* No programs or events in Library meeting rooms.
* No Telecirc, the Library’s automated telephone service.
* No Quick Information telephone service.
* No mail will be received during the closure. The Library will have the U.S. Post Office hold all mail until the Library reopens. There will not be staff available to accept deliveries.
· No book club books will be sent, received or returned during the one-week closure. Book club books will be sent to libraries as usual on the last Wednesday of the month, Aug. 26. Books not available then will be sent as soon as possible after Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7. Contact your library, or the Washington Center for the Book at bookgroups@spl.org or 206-615-1747 if you are part of a book group and have questions.
* No Mobile Services.
* No book donations will be collected at Library facilities during the closure. If you have book donations to make during the one-week closure, please contact the Friends Book Sale office at (206) 523-4053 or e-mail booksale@spl.org.
.
* The underground, independently operated parking garage at the Central Library will remain open, as well Neighborhood Services Centers co-located with branch libraries with separate entrances. Service Centers located within branches will continue to provide assistance by appointment only.
Aug. 31 through Sept. 6 was the week was selected for the closure because general Library use at that time is not as high as other times during the year, school is not in session and there are fewer Library programs scheduled.
Other options, such as a rotating schedule of closures so that some Library service was available were examined, but did not produce the magnitude of savings necessary. Closing all branch libraries on Fridays for the second half of 2009 would have produced the same savings as a one-week closure, but service hours would have been reduced by 5,408, in comparison to the 1,437 hours lost by closing all operations for a one week. Also, a Friday closure of all branches would have resulted in an estimated 22 staff layoffs.
“While there were no good options, temporarily closing will have the least impact on public service for the long term,” said City Librarian Susan Hildreth.
The Library’s $50 million operating budget is mainly allocated for personnel who run the libraries and provide direct public service, books and materials, and fixed costs, such as telecommunication and Internet services and utilities.

Received from West Seattle’s Potter Construction:
Potter Construction participates in the MBA’s 16th Annual Rampathon event Saturday, May 16, 2009.
The Master Builders Association’s 16th Annual Rampathon was held Saturday, May 16, 2008 throughout King and Snohomish Counties. Sponsored by the Master Builder’s Association (MBA) Care Foundation, this annual event provides free wheelchair access ramps for low-income disabled homeowners in King and Snohomish counties. This year, ramps were installed at homes in Federal Way, Burien, Snohomish, Enumclaw, Redmond, Kent, Mill Creek, Sea-Tac, Shoreline, Lynnwood, Issaquah, Seattle, Monroe, Brier and Kirkland.
This was the 8th year Potter Construction donated supplies and staff volunteered their time and expertise to design and construct a ramp for a homeowner in need. The Potter Construction team ~ comprised of John Nass, who coordinated the efforts, Roshele Allison who designed the ramp, and Karl Coy, Keith Haas, Harry Howell and Gavin Layton ~ built a platform and ramp for Gloria Southerland who is confined to a wheelchair.
“She loves it. It has given her a new lease on life. She can’t walk, so leaving the house had become treacherous and such effort she never wanted to go out. She now has that ability.” Kim Nelson, daughter of Gloria

Neighborhood Plan, provides a gathering space for all ages, and is a
showpiece for the heart of our community,” said Steve Sindiong, former

Conservation Futures Tax provided $747,000 for acquisition of this
.2-acre property. Additionally, the Levy provided $480,000 for
planning, design and construction for the development of this new
neighborhood gathering space.Approved by Seattle voters in 2000, the $198.2 million Pro Parks Levy
funded more than 100 projects throughout the city over the past eight
years. Projects include improvements to athletic fields, playgrounds,
trails and community centers and parks. Funding also increased green
spaces, supported Zoo programs and enhanced park maintenance.For more information please visit:

The official news release from the campaign:
David Miller, who began his campaign for Seattle City Council in November
2008, officially filed for Council Position 8 this morning. “I’m excited by all the
support I’ve received. In early March, I said I was running for Position 8 and today
made that official,” said Miller.A 15+ year local business executive, environmental advocate, and neighborhood
representative, Miller entered the City Council race to bring balance to these
varying interests and a deliberate and thoughtful perspective to decisions affecting
the citizens of Seattle.“Seattle’s needs are complex and we can’t afford to hire single-issue candidates for
the job,” stated Miller. “Every week, every meeting, every event on the campaign
trail reinforces my goal of creating a diverse coalition of businesses,
environmentalists, and neighborhood leaders is the right approach to this campaign.
It doesn’t always translate easily to a sound bite, but Seattleites appreciate a
candidate who knows voters are smart enough to understand specific answers to
complex questions.”Miller has gathered strong endorsements during the campaign. Earth Day founder Denis
Hayes, habitat preservation leader Matt Mega, pedestrian advocate Lisa Quinn, green
economy guru Stacy Noland, tree advocates Cheryl Trivison and Rich Haag, and open
space advocate John Barber are among those in the environmental community endorsing
Miller.Biotech leader Bruce Montgomery; former head of the National Cancer Institute,
biotech venture capitalist, and Obama Administration advisor Dr. Richard Klausner;

Seattle business icon Bill Grinstein are among Miller’s many supporters in the
business community.Georgetown community leader Kathy Nyland, Delridge leader Pete Spaulding, West
Seattle leader Ivan Weiss, Beacon/Jefferson leader Judith Edwards, community leaders
Bruce Bentley and Kiku Hayashi, low income housing executive Sharon H. Lee, and many
others from all parts of the city are among Miller’s community-based supporters.Miller is also endorsed by State Representative Scott White, King County
Councilmember Bob Ferguson, and former Seattle City Councilmember Peter Steinbrueck.Council Position 8 is currently held by Councilmember Richard McIver, who has stated
his intention to retire. “In my work with City Council on various issues, I’ve come
to respect Councilmember McIver’s tough and direct questions and pledge to carry on
that tradition,” Miller said. “Seattle owes a large debt to Councilmember McIver,”
noted Miller, “and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank him publicly. Seattle
is a better place for his service.”Based upon input from hundreds of Seattle residents, David Miller’s campaign is
focused on four priorities: Grow Responsibly, Strengthen Neighborhoods, Prioritize
People, and Return to Basics. More detail on these themes and the campaign is
available on www.MillerForSeattle.org.Miller filed to run for City Council on November 18, 2008, the third non-incumbent
to file for the race. On March 9, 2009 he became the second candidate to announce an
intention to run for Position 8. Shortly after 9:00am today, Miller made his
official filing for Position 8 with King County Elections.David Miller lives with his wife in the Maple Leaf neighborhood of north Seattle
where he was president of the Community Council, works to preserve existing green
space, and advocates for responsible urban growth and density in our urban core
areas. David is founder and CEO of Biotech Stock Research and volunteers for the
UW-Bothell Center for Student Entrepreneurship where he helps aspiring business
owners launch their companies. A Council-appointed representative to the Parks and
Green Spaces Citizen’s Advisory Committee, David helped create the package for the

alternate serving on Seattle’s Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee.

Yes, an actual news release announcing this has actually been sent out:
OLYMPIA — Mere months after declaring he was “too hip” for Facebook in The Seattle Times, Sen. Joe McDermott, D-West Seattle, has joined the social networking site.
“When the Senate approved both the expansion of our Domestic Partnership law and a measure that added ‘transgendered’ to our hate crimes statute, I sent an email out to my friends, constituents and family praising the actions. A friend replied, encouraging me to join Facebook so I could easily keep everyone informed,” McDermott said. “I knew then that I had to join.”
Facebook is a social networking web site that allows users to add friends and send them messages while updating their personal profiles to inform friends about themselves.
“While I still appreciate face-to-face conversations, I realized that utilizing social networking sites like Facebook would allow me to reach out to even more of my constituents — even if it makes me tragically unhip,” McDermott said.

As announced by the Rat City Rollergirls:
Rat City Rollergirls to Play Championship Bout; All-Star Team Heads to New ShoWare Center
Women’s flat-track roller derby league wraps up successful season; All-Stars to compete for national ranking
The Rat City Rollergirls will finish their fifth regular
season with their championship bout on May 30 at KeyArena. But fans need not fret;
there will still be plenty of roller derby action all summer long, starting with the
league’s All-Stars taking on Detroit a week later at the new ShoWare Center in Kent,
Wash.The May 30, championship bout will include all four teams with Derby Liberation
Front vs. Sockit Wenches for the championship title and a grudge match between Grave
Danger and Throttle Rockets.This has been a season of significant growth for the Rat City Rollergirls, with an
average of 4,000 fans showing up for their bouts at KeyArena. During previous
seasons, when bouts were held at a hangar in Magnuson Park, the venue could only
hold about 1,500 fans, and the events routinely sold out.“We have amazing fans and couldn’t do what we do without their continued enthusiasm
and support. We look forward to another season at KeyArena next year and to bringing
roller derby to ShoWare Center this summer with our All-Stars,” said Maeleeke Lavan
of the Rat City Rollergirls’ Derby Liberation Front team.The All-Star team consists of players from Derby Liberation Front, Sockit Wenches,
Throttle Rockets and Grave Danger. Rat City Rollergirls All-Stars are ranked number
five in the West and number five in the nation according to Women’s Flat Track Derby
Association (WFTDA). Large crowds are expected for the June 6 All-Star game, the
team’s first local bout of the year. The number two ranked Detroit Derby Girls will
join the Rat City Rollergirls at the ShoWare Center, the first Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED(r)) certified sports and entertainment venue in the
country.For the second game of that evening, Rat City’s Rain of Terror, another select team
which includes members for all four Rat City Rollergirls teams, will compete against
the Jet City Bombers, the All-Star team from Snohomish County’s Jet City
Rollergirls.“The Rat City Rollergirls continue to prove themselves as a strong force in Seattle
sports with their ever expanding fan base,” said Tim Higgins, General Manager,
SMG/ShoWare Center. “We’re excited to bring them to a new legion of fans here in the
south end and look forward to welcoming existing fans.”General admission ticket price for bouts at KeyArena and ShoWare Center is $19.00
for adults and $12.00 for children. Tickets for KeyArena are available at all
Ticketmaster locations or at www.ticketmaster.com. For June 6, July 18 and August
15, tickets are available at ShoWare Center’s Box Office in Kent, or online at
