Updated Election Results

After a second election, all four previous winners held on to their leads, but with closer margins this time.  In fact, there will be a run-off election for both Minister of Government and Minister of Communications between the top two candidates.  Kanpong Thaweesuk will be the new President, and Cynthia Darmawan will take over as Chancellor.  Although the position of Chancellor was the closest race of all (an 11 vote difference), because there were only two official candidates there will be no run-off for that position. Here are the results for the top two candidates in each position, as well as results from the first election that got disqualified due to campaign violations.

Fire Dept. responds to smoke from SCC Library

Shoreline Fire Department responded to an alarm in the library at around 12:30 p.m. from what appears to be smoke from an electrical burnout. The building has been evacuated and closed to determine the exact cause.
“We’re going to have to close the library until further notice,” Safety and Security Director Robin Blacksmith said.
Blacksmith said the cause was “probably” an H-VAC motor that burned out.
Responding to the scene were units from three separate stations, including three aid units (ambulances), one battalion car, and three fire engines – one of which was a ladder truck.
