    BCC President: ‘Quintuple whammy’ diminishing work force
    BCC President: ‘Quintuple whammy’ diminishing work force
    August 8, 2008 1:00 am

    It’s horrifically ironic.
    Just when we need more than ever to enhance the skills and capabilities of our workforce, and just as youth and adults more than ever need further post-secondary training to get, keep and advance in good careers — the door to higher education begins to swing shut.

    I received an e-mail this week with the subject “Stupid Question” and I began to wonder, “Are there computer-users and technology initiates out there who feel inhibited from writing e-mails or calling in with their questions? I hope not! Please do not be intimidated by or inhibited from sending in your questions. We’re here to help you navigate the ever-changing terrain of technology. Please keep those questions coming!

    Bicyclists/motorists: Share the roads, avoid the problems

    There’s no question that bicycles are popular around here. The Burke-Gilman and Sammamish River trails draw bicyclists (and walkers) daily. Redmond even has a velodrome for bicycle racing.
    However, a problem often arises when bicyclists must share the road with motorists. Most of our roads aren’t built for both.

    Today, most family-wage jobs in Washington require some form of post-secondary education or training. By 2014, 77 percent of those jobs will require training or education after high school — in King and Snohomish counties the number jumps to 85 percent. And yet, Washington allows too many of its children to graduate from high school unprepared for post-secondary life.

    We love parks. And really, who doesn’t?
    With the exception of a few folks here and there who are cranky because field lights interrupt their sleep or because they didn’t like the way a particular park was developed, most people enjoy spending time at the parks in our region.

    When the Port of Seattle and King County recently acquired the Eastside Rail Corridor from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway in a complicated three-way agreement, the public acquired a valuable corridor to be developed into a bike and recreational trail and which will preserve its potential for transportation options, possibly including high-capacity transit.

    Several years ago I watched a thought-provoking film, The Great Divorce, based on the book by C. S. Lewis. In one particularly unforgettable scene the central character boards a bus we later learn is headed for the foothills of heaven. The ride nearly lulls him to sleep, until movement in the distance jars him awake. Straining to see miles ahead, the man eventually glimpses a woman emerging over the rise of a hill, walking confidently and happily.

    I’ve been a dentist in King County for over nine years. My colleagues and I across the state continue to see patients come through the doors of our offices with conditions that could have been prevented with proper care and treatment. This is a critical issue, and one that affects our entire community. Dental problems that go untreated can worsen diabetes, lead to the spreading of infections or heart malfunctions and, in pregnant women, cause low birth weight for their babies. Dental emergencies are one of the top reasons the uninsured are rushed to the ER, often times for issues that were worsened by lack of routine care and could have been prevented with regular dental visits. As doctors of dentistry, we know that oral healthcare is essential for our complete physical health, and is something everyone needs and deserves.

    Thinking of buying a new television? Well, apparently you are not alone if a new jumbo-tronic video monster is calling your name. According to a consumer survey taken this May, more Americans than ever are thinking of getting a new TV.
    Many things are behind the allure of a new television, from life-like pictures to thundering sound. But there’s another twist I noticed in this survey: the high cost of gasoline is causing us to hit the couch rather than hit the highway. In a quest to save energy, we’re choosing entertainment that doesn’t come with a $4.50-per-gallon price tag.
