By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
For 50 years the news – and the gossip – of Renton has been told and retold from the hairstyling chairs at Center Coiffures. “If you want to know what’s going on in town, come get your hair done,” says Mike O’Connell, a longtime stylist and
one-time owner of the salon. Center Coiffures is marking its anniversary this month, even though its lineage goes back a little earlier, to when Betty Richards started her career at Renton Beauty Salon at the Renton Center on Rainier Avenue. The year was 1960 and Renton Center was still a work in progress. But it had the beauty salon and a barber shop a

couple doors down. Richards walked into the salon, looking for a job, fresh from graduating from Bennett’s Beauty School on Main Avenue in Renton. “I got the job,” said Richards, who was 30 when she enrolled at Bennett’s. “It’s the only place I’ve ever worked.” But the salon ran into financial trouble. She arrived one morning to find the front door padlocked. The developer of Renton Center, Robert Edwards, worked out a deal that allowed her to manage the shop. In late 1962, she bought the salon outright. She built a flourishing business and gave a generation of hairstylists a start.
The fight is on to gather more signatures for a petition designed to keep the downtown Renton library where it is over the Cedar River. Stuart Avery, the spokesperson for the citizens group effort, received word March 2 from Renton City Clerk Bonnie Walton that the group was short 1,442 valid signatures. The group needs 6,375 valid signatures to certify the petition. The petition asks that any library improvements for a downtown library must occur at the existing library location and not at any other location unless the alternate proposed location for a downtown library is approved by a simple majority vote of Renton voters. The petition group had submitted 7,263 signatures. More than 900 signatures were from people not registered to vote. Almost 900 signatures were also invalid because they were from people who didn’t live in Renton. This weekend the citizen group of volunteers will attempt to collect the addiStuart Avery tional signatures required in what they are calling a “Super Saturday” canvassing drive. Volunteers are asked to meet outside the library at 100 Mill Ave. at 9 a.m., Saturday, March 10. Several people in the all-volunteer group met Monday night and decided that asking people whether they are registered to vote in the City of Renton would be key in their renewed efforts. “The canvassing campaign will be going to residential neighborhoods within city limits, so that should help with a better ratio of valid signatures as opposed to retail venues, which have a mixed traffic and less control,” said Avery. The group intends to collect about 2,000 signatures by Monday to be safe. Renton resident Richard Bray found out about the petition just three weeks ago. He and his family, which includes five children, have

Chamber gets new home downtown By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
After 52 years overlooking the Renton Municipal Airport, the Renton Chamber of Commerce has found a new home. Three chamber officials, John Galluzzo, Jason Parker and Bill Taylor, signed the final paperwork on Monday for the $840,000 purchase of the historic train depot downtown from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Co.

Are bad teeth hereditary?
Cavities are not just caused by a lack of brushing and flossing or by eating too much candy. A genetic predisposition to cavities can be passed from parent to child.

Sale of Bob Bridge dealership is finalized By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Bob Bridge has turned over the keys to his Toyota Scion dealership to longtime friend, Michael O’Brien. The sale of Bob Bridge Toyota Scion to O’Brien, owner of a number of high-end dealerships in Washington and Oregon, was announced in December, but the deal was signed last week. Under O’Brien’s ownership, the dealership will be known as Toyota Scion of Renton. In an interview O’Brien said he names his dealerships after the franchise and the city where they’re located. The business will get its new sign sometime soon. In the meantime, the OB remains from the Bob Bridge Toyota sign.
Workers thought that was fitting, as OB is O’Brien’s nickname. O’Brien expects to retain all existing employees while adding more jobs in 2012. The new jobs include 10 to 15 sales Michael O’Brien positions; within the next 30 days or so, he plans to open a retail used-car lot on Rainier Avenue. Like Bridge before him, O’Brien says he’ll become involved in the community, especially Renton’s schools. “Over the past 31 years, Mr. Bridge has built one of the most-respected dealerships in the country and been a great champion for the Renton community,” said O’Brien,

The OB on the Toyota dealership is new owner Mike O’Brien’s nickname. dean A. Radford, Renton Reporter owner of O’Brien Auto Group, in a news release announcing the final deal. The O’Brien Auto Group is the largest auto dealer in the Northwest. “We look forward to building on that tradition under the O’Brien brand and are committed to making a positive impact within the Renton community,” he said. Last week Bridge and O’Brien each made donations to the Friends of Renton Schools, with Bridge donating $25,000 and O’Brien $25,500, at an informal VIP luncheon Renton High School. “We are extremely fortunate to have the support of these two men and their companies,” said Friends of Renton Schools Chair Pam Teal. “Mr. Bridge and Mr. O’Brien are two outstanding business people who understand the value of giving back to the
community. The money they contributed this week will be put to use in the programs that have a proven track record of directly impacting the achievement of students in the Renton School District.” The Friends of Renton Schools is holding its annual fundraiser on April 30. Bridge has said he will dedicate more of his time to philanthropic efforts. O’Brien’s history of community involvement was a key factor in his decision to sell. “Over 30 of the nation’s most prominent auto retail organizations were interested in buying the dealership,” said Bridge. “With this type of interest I was able to select the best fit for the Renton community. It’s only by coincidence that the best auto retail organization to replace Bob Bridge was in Seattle. That was just amazing.”

School bond put to April vote Page 6
“Really what that says is we need to fine-tune that message and go back out,” he said. The super majority rule was probably partly to blame, Galluzzo said. The super majority rule required that this bond get 60 percent voter approval and have a minimum voter turnout of 10,582 voters. Voters were confused about that, but also there Mary Alice Heuschel was the confusion voters had on how to calculate the tax, Galluzzo said. “I think we go out and we clear that up for a lot of people and I think that easily gets us votes,” he said. The district estimates the cost of the bond will be 18 cents per $1,000 of assessed property valuation for the average home valued at $257,100. That would be about $46 a year. At the meeting John Knutson, district assistant
superintendent, gave a presentation on the Feb. 14 election results. The Maintenance and Operations levy passed at 61.71 percent and the Technology levy passed at 60.48 percent. The bond, even though it had a 58.08 percent approval, failed. Knutson’s slide depicting over-crowding at the district’s three middle schools brought gasps from the audience. McKnight Middle School, with 1,152 students, is the third-largest middle school in the state, Nelsen is ninth and Dimmitt is 24th. Whiteaker has a kindergarten student and secondgrade student at one of the 14 elementary schools that feed into the three junior high schools. She requested a copy of the visuals from the school board to make the same point to neighborhoods when she goes canvassing for support of the bond in the April election. Sam Seid, a senior at Lindbergh High School, attended the meeting to voice his support of the bond and pool improvements that could come with the bond’s
passage. He is the swim captain of the Lindbergh team. “I started off with basically the knowledge of how to swim and I ended this year being able to place at state in two different events,” Seid said. “So, the pool is a really big part of my life.” The pool improvements at Lindbergh and the construction of a new junior high at the site of the old Hazelwood Elementary are two of the bigger issues on the ballot. Over-crowding in the interim is still a concern the district is trying to work through. “There’s no more room for any portables,” Heuschel said. “It’s a very unfortunate situation. And, yes, we have talked about many many scenarios, because we have to prepare for the future.” Options in the interim could include converting elementary or high schools to a middle school, which then could make the elementary become overcrowded, Heuschel said. The ballots for the April 17 election should be in homes by March 28, according to the district.

In an unanimous vote, the Renton School Board decided Feb. 29 to put the “Building for a Lifetime of Learning School Construction” bond measure on the April 17 election ballot. Board members said they did not want to lose momentum after the bond measure failed by a little more than 300 votes in the Feb. 14 special election. Also, the other possible election dates did not look favorable for the successful passage of the bond measure, board members said. The $97 million bond measure includes plans to build a new junior high and make improvements to the pool at Lindbergh High School. The other possible election dates would have been Aug. 7 and Nov. 6 of this year. Superintendent Mary Alice Heuschel didn’t see either one of those dates as viable for the bond to pass. School is out in August, and November would mean competing with the presidential and gubernatorial elections as well as other measures, she said. Had the school board not voted to proceed with the April 17 ballot, it could delay the construction of a new junior high by two years if the measure passed on a later ballot in 2013. Grace Whiteaker, a parent and Hazelwood Elementary School PTA member, was happy the board decided to move ahead with the April election. She had canvassed neighborhoods for support of the levies and measure for the Feb. 14 election and found voter confusion. “The message that I got from a lot of people, as I was talking to them, was they had a very big misunderstanding of what (the bond) was going to mean in terms of taxes,” Whiteaker said. Others at the school board meeting Wednesday night at Campbell Hill Elementary School agreed the message could have been clearer. The levy approvals at 60 percent and the failure of the bond issue by just 300 votes were proof that voters support Renton schools, said John Galluzzo, the chair of the Citizens for Renton Schools Committee.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
“Falsely equating downsizing with ‘end of life,’ we put it off until we no longer have the strength, or will, to handle our own affairs.“ Tish Gregory, wise Renton Reporter columnist
A spring cleaning that your children will appreciate They have their own tastes and a limited capacity to absorb more things. Secondly, sometimes the ability to control our own life takes a sudden turn, like moving into smaller living arrangements, poor health, dementia or moving up. Our concern is now focused on more important things, rather than the importance of things. Inertia takes over and our things stay at rest until someone moves them. And that usually is our adult children, who are busy working and raising families. It falls to them to sort, clean, prepare, conduct estate sales, donate unwanted items and make numerous trips to the dump – a burden even more difficult for those who live out of the area. Judging by their comments at estate sales, they are not only overwhelmed, but resentful at having to drop everything to deal with our stuff. “Why couldn’t they have done something with their things while they were able and not leave it to us?” is their complaint, as well as plea. Finally, we subconsciously believe that as long as we have things, we have life. Falsely equating downsizing with “end of life,” we put it off until we no longer have the strength, or will, to handle our own affairs. So if our children could convey a simple message to us, it would be this: Listen, mom and dad, you’ve been responsible all your lives. Don’t stop now. Deal with your things while you still Tish Gregory
COMMENTARY
When you write commentary, you often get advice from others on what to write about. This column was inspired by our adult children. March Madness usually brings to mind the NCAA Basketball tournament. But my thoughts turn lovingly to my mother and her obsession with spring cleaning. Under her direction, my brothers and I would spend countless days cleaning walls, ceilings, floors, doors and windows. Everything in the closets, dressers, cupboards and pantries were scrutinized for cleanliness, usefulness and orderliness. These “Reluctant Kids” could out clean any “Merry Maid,” although at the time we were almost certain some kind of child labor laws were being broken. But, as I get older, it’s hard to follow this spring ritual with the same vigor. I tend to ignore its importance and benefit. In particular, the purging part is more difficult because of what it implies. Things make their way into our lives and cling to us like lint. We place value on these things – most are needed, useful, memorable, or bring us emotional comfort. But there is much, outside those parameters, that over the years lost its luster or usefulness, yet never found its way out the door – what you might call “stuff.” For seniors, especially, eliminating stuff is complex for several reasons. First, we have the mistaken belief our adult children will want our things and put the same value on them as we did. Shocker! No they won’t.

There are plenty of resources to help, like local charities and the City of Renton. Listed are several upcoming events to get us started on our spring cleaning chores.

Thank you, Renton community, for school support Dear Renton community, On behalf of almost 15,000 students and 2,000 staff, thank you for your support of and confidence in the Renton School District. You once again approved our Maintenance and Operation Levy and our Technology Levy with overwhelming support. Approval of these measures enables the district to better address individual student needs, offer district-wide programs to ensure student success, and maintain safe learning environments, thus preparing our students for their roles in the 21st century and beyond. I want to particularly thank the members of the Citizens for Renton Schools Committee for their hard work in this effort. We are blessed to have leaders throughout our community who are making a difference, and who are clearly committed to making Renton a great place to live, learn, work and play! A high-quality education is perhaps the most essential solution to our national economic recovery and the best insurance possible for preparing our students for fulfilling lives. The welfare and safety of our community depends on a quality public education system. As our community continues to grow, your enduring support sustains Renton’s good work on behalf of the next generations of citizens. Our staff is committed to meeting the needs of each and every student and, with your outstanding support, we can help students reach their full potential Mary Alice Heuschel

Police found the 41-yearold man laying in front of a Metro bus about 9 a.m. at Southeast Carr Road and 108th Avenue Southeast. The man had apparently gotten on the bus, did not pay his fare and started a commotion by banging on the doors. The bus driver let him out and he laid down in front of the bus and did not move. The man was cleared medically and then arrested. While police were trying to arrest him, he lunged at an officer trying to bring him down. The man was handcuffed and faced possible charges of disorderly conduct and unlawful transit conduct.

The suspects fled with the 60-year-old in pursuit for a few seconds. The man called police. Police did not locate the suspects.

About a week after the theft of more than $10,000 worth of recording equipment from Cry Out!, the youth were back to recording music and staff was still assessing the damages. The youth organization was burglarized on Feb. 28 and police still have no leads. Celestine Ezinkwo, executive director of Cry Out!, gave police evidence he believed had fingerprints on it, but police weren’t able to lift any prints. Staff members are making changes in the security system so they don’t have random strangers in the building, Ezinkwo said. Located in the Harambee Center, Cry Out! is an escape for youth into the visual and performing arts as well as an after-school hangout. Cry Out! hosts about 30 to 40 teens in its programs currently. Although some of the teens lost music that was stored on computers in the burglary, they were back to recording music

rehearsing elsewhere in the building. The studio is located in a lower section of the building; Ezinkwo believes the suspect used a chair to break the studio door and steal the equipment. Ezinkwo has reviewed the security tapes and said he might recognize one of the suspects, but he isn’t sure yet. “If it’s a kid in my program, I’ll be heart-broken just because that’s the worst that could happen,” he said after the theft. A theft by one of his program participants would be hard to deal with because of the kind of environment he has tried to create at Cry Out!, he said. The suspects could just as easily be people in the community, Ezinkwo said, because he has heard of a lot about recent thefts. With no leads in the case, Ezinkwo is waiting to hear what his insurance company can do before he figures out how to replace the stolen equipment. He has heard from community members, some of whom have offered prayers.

According to the state patrol, the Renton man was eastbound in the westbound lanes of Martin Luther King Way near 57th Avenue South at about 10:30 p.m. when his 1993 Toyota Camry collided head-on with a 2002 Honda Civic driven by a 27-yearold Seattle man. The Seattle man was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment, as was a 27-yearold Seattle woman who was a passenger in his car. After the collision, the Camry continued eastbound, colliding with a 1999 Toyota 4Runner, according to the state patrol. The 4Runner then collided with a 2005 Mazda MPV driven by a 26-year-old Renton man. Neither driver was injured. Passengers in the Mazda were a 24-year-old Renton woman and two boys, ages 3 and 5. The cause wasn’t available midweek; the state patrol indicated that drugs or alcohol were involved.

Renton’s Church Web Works recognized Renton-based Church Web Works, a world leader in providing Web sites for churches, has again been named one of the best Christian workplaces in the United States. The award is given annually by the Best Christian Workplace Institute to outstanding Christian employers. The company is the only software developer on the list. This is the second time that Church Web Works has received the award, which is based on an anonymous survey of thousands of employees across the United States, Canada and Australia who work at organizations with a stated Christian mis-
sion and values. The survey covers issues such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, Christian witness, supervisory effectiveness, personal growth and development, teamwork, communications and pay benefits, according to a press release. “This award recognizes the core Christian values that we bring to the workplace,” says Church Web Works President Gavin Fysh. “We believe that our personal faith is vital to the success of our company.

A two-alarm fire damaged a paper-shredding and recycling company Tuesday night at 710 Thomas Ave S.W. in the south Renton’s warehouse district. An employee of DB Secure Shred called 911 and the alarm company reported the fire at just after 7 p.m. The worker attempted to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. The fire was upgraded to two alarms after responding crews saw the extent of smoke coming from the building, said Deputy Fire Chief Bill Flora. Crews from the Tukwila Fire Department responded. The cause of the fire was officially “All indications undepoint to a terdeep-seated, mined, smoldering Flora product brought said. A into the damage business.” Deputy estimate wasn’t Fire Chief Bill Flora availWright able midweek. There were no injuries. “All indications point to a deep-seated, smoldering product (shredded paper) brought into the business, which ignited when the evening worker opened the large roll-up door as he started his shift,” he said. The fire involved shredded paper next to a piece of equipment, said Flora. It occasionally happens that a spark from some source will ignite shredded paper, Flora said. The fact the paper caught fire was not intentional, he said. The sprinkler system kept the fire under control. Fire crews then used hoses to fight the remain fire; equipment was used to move paper around to search for embers. “If the sprinklers had not contained the fire, there were enough combustibles to have taken off and caused a lot of damage in the building,” said Flora.

Highlanders look forward to fresh start By ADAM McFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
The work for this Hazen boys soccer team started last May. On the bus ride after a season-ending loss to Auburn Mountainview, coach Ken Matthews spelled things out for the team. “I laid down the law at that point,” said Matthews, who took over as head coach of the team mid-season. “They all know I have very high expectations.” Hazen finished 7-72 overall last year and tied with Evergreen for second place in the Seamount. The team made the subdistrict playoffs before the loss to Auburn Mountainview. “We flushed that down the toilet,” said senior Conner Hall. Hazen’s Frankie Johnson dribbles “It’s the start of a new season.” up the field at practice. adam mcfadden, Renton Reporter The team’s captains are Hall and junior Sam Bunnell.

Keum leads Eagles to fifth By ADAM McFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
There's little doubt Lindbergh senior Jimmy Keum knows how to step up when it counts. Keum led the Eagles to fifth place at the 2A state basketball tournament and the team's first-ever state tournament win. Keum scored 33 points in Lindbergh's (16-14) early win against Clover Park. He scored a combined 21 points in the Eagles final two state games as teams started to adjust their defenses around him. "They were really double and triple teaming him," said Lindbergh coach Robert Graham. "Clover Park decided to play him heads up, and you just can't do that. He's too good." Playoff heroics are nothing new to Keum, who scored 49 points in a double-overtime playoff loss against Port Angeles last season. Keum averaged 19.3 points per game this
season, second best in the Seamount. This despite most teams orienting state their defense around him. While that strategy was frustrating at times this season, Graham said Keum won't have as much of a problem with that at the next level. "When he gets to the next level teams aren't going to be able to do that because of everybody else on the floor," he said. "I think he's going to be very effective at the next level." Graham said Keum has interest from Seattle University and Western Washington University. After the opening win against Clover Park March 1, Lindbergh came up just short against White River March 2.

Hornets edged the Eagles 43-40 in overtime, the second time this postseason White River has beaten Lindbergh by three points or less. Graham said the loss seemed to wear the team out. "Fatigue set in after losing that heartbreaker Friday," he said. "They wanted that one really bad." The Eagles took on Kingston March 3 in the third place/fifth place game. Lindbergh led by one point at the half, but a 17-8 Kingston run in the third put the game away. Austin Franklin led Lindbergh with 12 points in the game.

Center Coiffures stays in the ‘family’ [ Salon from page 1] She changed the name to Center Coiffures, heralded by a sign made of wood. An important event had happened months earlier. On March 6, 1962, the Renton Center held its grand opening, featuring a Market Basket grocery store, a Sears store and an interior open-air mall with a stage and fountain. Now 84, Richards enjoys being a regular Friday morning customer at her salon, now owned by her daughter, Judy Ford. Ford and O’Connell are marking the date Renton Center held its grand opening to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the hair salon. The 1960s were a time of big hair, bleach and hair pieces, a “stylish time,” said Ford. Women had their hair
done every week, a standing appointment, much like many do today. A shampoo, style and set was $3.50, plus a 50-cent tip. Men’s haircuts were $3. The price today is about $20. There were lots of “specials” along the way. In 1989 during a 48-day strike Boeing workers could get a haircut for $7.47, if they showed their badge. In those 50 years, styles have changed and Richards, Ford and O’Connell and their co-workers have adapted. Working beside them are Jeana Mar, Carol Braunschweig and Georgia Pine. They offer cuts for kids and trick colors and foils. “We have had to conform to each younger group, which keeps us alive,” Ford said.
...obituaries
O’Connell likens Center Coiffures to that famous TV show “Cheers,” a bar where everyone knows your name. But “All in the Family” also works. Richards sold the salon to O’Connell in 1979, when she moved with her late husband Bill to Arizona. “It was March when you finally hung up your comb,” O’Connell said, during a morning of reminiscing. O’Connell owned the salon when it moved to its current location in October 1990, a few years before Renton Center was turned into an enclosed Fred Meyer store. And, in 1998, Ford bought the salon from O’Connell. “It just keeps going back and forth,” said Ford. It’s easy to see why. “Mike is like a son to me,” said Richards. “I’ve worked with him for 40 years,” said Ford. They’re “like brother and sister,” said Richards. She
Mike O’Connell has been with Center Coiffures almost from the beginning. dean a. radford, Renton Reporter hired O’Connell right out of beauty school, after he cut her hair on a Sunday. They swear they should write a book. Of course, they would have to write about the horse manure that piled up under their chairs. Center Coiffures was probably the closest salon to Longacres racetrack. So it attracted a lot of horse owners, trainers and their wives. The chairs had small
foot rests. “The horse manure and the straw would just pile up under there,” O’Connell said. The Seattle PI took a picture of Richards braiding a horse’s tail at the track in the early 1960s. Beside her was her sister Peggy Bevan, one of the first female horse trainers in the state. The memories constantly go back to the relationships the three have made
with their customers. It’s a relationship that extends all the way to death. In the back of the shop is a wall filled with obituaries of customers. “They mean something to us,” O’Connell said. At a family’s request, they’ll come to a funeral home for a final styling. “It’s the last favor we can do for their loyalty, coming to us all these years,” O’Connell said.

More Barbee Mill cleanup planned Overpass demolition The Department of Ecology is seeking public comment on a set of proposed projects that would continue an ongoing process to clean up contamination at the former Barbee Mill site in Renton. Ecology and Barbee Mill Co., Inc. (Barbee Mill) have negotiated amendments to a 2009 legal agreement, called an agreed order, under which the company has carried out several steps that build on earlier work performed under the ecology department’s Voluntary Cleanup Program, according to an ecology department press release. A lumber mill – and at times, ship-building – occupied the 22-acre site at 4101 Lake Washington Blvd. N. until 2006. The property had undergone redevelopment as a residential community. Barbee Mill has previously conducted studies of soil, groundwater and nearby lake sediments. The company’s past cleanup actions include removed soil contaminated with petroleum products, arsenic, zinc and wood preservative;
installed a below-grade barrier that filters arsenic from groundwater that moves toward the lake; operated a system to extract and treat groundwater contaminated with metals; and removed wood debris and other material from the lake bottom, just offshore. The company also has filed deed restrictions to permanently protect and properly operate environmental controls that have been or will be installed. The amended order continues ongoing interim cleanup activities identified in the original order. These activities include: addition of a gravel layer to a stormwater detention pond now lined with sand; a study on information still needed about contamination in the lakebottom sediments; sampling of wells to monitor groundwater flowing off the site and evaluate the groundwater treatment system; reports that provide additional needed data and evaluations. These efforts are considered “interim action” and are not the final
cleanup. The new amendments to the order include plans for Barbee Mill to gather more data, evaluate cleanup options and develop a final cleanup plan. Ecology will seek public comment in the future before approving the site’s final cleanup plan. The draft amended agreed order is available at: • https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/gsp/ Sitepage.aspx?csid=2368 • Renton Public Library, 100 Mill Ave. S. • Department of Ecology, Northwest Region – by appointment only, 425-649-7190 – 3190160th Ave. SE, Bellevue Comments or questions may be directed to Ching-Pi Wang, Ecology site manager, 425-649-7134; email cwan461@ecy.wa.gov. The comment period ends on April 2. A fact sheet with further background on the Barbee Mill site and the amended order is available at: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/gsp/ DocViewer.aspx?did=6379.
shuts 520 this weekend Demolition crews are gearing up to take down the old Evergreen Point Road overpass above State Route 520 in Medina, which requires closing the highway and floating bridge between Seattle and Bellevue this weekend. During the closure, drivers will have to find another way across or around Lake Washington from 11 p.m. Friday, March 9, until 5 a.m. Monday, March 12. All lanes and ramps will be closed between Montlake Boulevard in Seattle and Interstate 405 in Bellevue. Alternate routes could see traffic delays midday Saturday and Sunday. The narrow two-lane overpass was built in 1962 to carry local Medina traffic over SR 520. Crews estimate they will stockpile
and later haul out up to 50 dump trucks of concrete overpass debris to the Cadman recycling yard in Redmond. During this weekend’s construction about 100 construction workers will focus on demolition and other highway work. Once the Medina overpass is gone, crews will shift gears to build new concrete supports for the new Evergreen Point Road lidded overpass, which will be completed during the next 18 months. While SR 520 is closed for the weekend, traffic is expected to be heavy midday Saturday and Sunday on I-5 and I-90 heading into Seattle and on I-405 approaching I-90. The express lane schedules will change this weekend on I-90 to maintain traffic flow.

methamphetamine. The seven who likely died from overdose were from areas across King County, ranged in age from 17-61 years of age, and included experienced and inexperienced users. If someone is with a person who is overdosing on heroin, they can help by immediately calling 911. The Washington state Good Samaritan law took effect in 2010 and provides immunity from criminal charges of drug possession for both the witness and the person experiencing the overdose. The new law also expands access to Narcan (generic name naloxone), an opiate antagonist that reverses the effect of overdose from heroin and other opiates. Public Health – Seattle & King County has recently initiated a Narcan program at its downtown Seattle needle exchange to dispense Narcan to heroin users and train them on how to use it in an emergency. For more information on the Good Samaritan law, see http://stopoverdose.org/index. html Public Health is also working with community partners to alert members of the public who use heroin that there appears to be an increased risk of death from using heroin currently being sold.

Key ways to reduce the risk of overdose include: • Never inject when you’re alone • If you got heroin from someone new or it looks different, use less. • Don’t use heroin in combination with other “downers,” such as benzodiazepines (i.e. benzos), alcohol or prescription-type opiates such as OxyContin or methadone. It is also dangerous to use with stimulants such as cocaine or
