Bethany Friesen, Mark Medem, and Olivia Yin are recipients of Edmonds CC Community Read scholarships. The Edmonds Community College Foundation will award each of the students $1,100 scholarships for their spring quarter tuition.
Yin, who is working on an Associate of Science degree and also takes art classes, combines her interest in art and science in her paintings. They are inspired by the biology and history of the fruit, including the idea in the opening chapter of Banana that the scientific names of the plants suggest that the banana tree was the biblical “tree of knowledge” and the banana the true “forbidden fruit.”Started by E.
