Sound Transit seeks best light rail route through Kent

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Sound Transit officials are trying to figure out in the next few years where to build light rail

tracks when they extend the line along Kent’s West Hill by 2023.

After numerous studies and public input, Sound Transit has narrowed the options to five

potential routes, mainly along Pacific Highway South or Interstate 5, as it aims for a decision on a preferred route by 2015 with a final selection in 2016.

Light rail is funded to be built from South 200th Street in SeaTac to Kent/Des Moines near Highline Community College, just north of South 240th Street.

But transit officials are designing a route to South 272nd Street in Federal Way, including [ more LIGHT RAIL page 5 ]

City seeks levee funds from flood district

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent city officials hope to persuade the King County Flood Control District board to transfer money saved in a couple of Green River levee projects to help fund other city levee projects along the river.

Mike Mactutis, city environmental engineering manager, gave the Kent City Council an update about levee projects and potential funding by the flood control district at a July 2 council workshop. The flood control district is in the process of adopting its 2014 Capital Project list that includes projects through 2017.

ROAR FROM THE PAST The Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN) hosted the annual Pacific Northwest Historics Vintage Races at Pacific Raceways last weekend.

The event attracts hundreds of cars, and thousands of enthusiasts and

spectators to raise money for the Seattle Children’s Hospital. The field included Porsches, BMWs, Alfa Romeos, Ferraris, MGs and other classic cars that took to the raceway’s 2.25-mile road course. Story, page 14. SHAWN SKAGER, Reporter

Learning on the fly Sealfon recalls skills he learned in Vietnam after Army training

BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com

Life rarely goes as planned, and even the best training doesn’t prepare us for everything. If there’s one lesson Michael Sealfon learned during his

yearlong tour in the Vietnam War, and the 40 years since, it’s that.

Sealfon, who recently self-published a book on his experiences in Vietnam, says the tour shaped his perspective on life and problem solving, and affected him in the subsequent years

[ FESTIVAL from page 1 ] of course, the traditional Kent Lions, the festival’s producers, to keep a good thing going.

“It’s one of the largest events in the state of Washington now. We get upward of 300,000 people at it,” said Westcott, volunteer festival coordinator. “It brings a lot of people into Kent who don’t normally come here, especially into downtown historical Kent.

“I do it because it’s a fundraiser for the Kent Lions (and the Lions Foundation),” Westcott said, “but it also benefits upward of 250 nonprofit organizations who depend upon raising money at the event.”

The 42nd annual festival, the oldest and largest of its kind in South King County, opened Thursday and continues through Sunday.

Originally known as the Kent Lettuce Festival in the 1930s, Kent Cornucopia Days has grown in size and scope.

The event features a fullsize carnival, a street fair of more than 600 booths offering a variety of items from food to crafts, live entertainment, exhibitions, games, shows and,

grand parade on Sunday afternoon. Hours vary with festivities beginning at 10 a.m. each day.

The festival has diversified over the years, and now offers a 5-K run/ walk, dragon boat races on Lake Meridian, a soccer tournament sprinkled over seven area pitches, and a skateboard tournament.

It might be symptomatic of an improving economy, but participation and sales have picked up, Westcott said.

Carnival operators have reported improved sales for rides, above last year’s clip.

“People are willing to spend money now,” Westcott added.

Organizers also have run out of room for vendors. Some organizations were put on standby, waiting for the likelihood of a last-minute opening.

“We’ve got more vendors than we have spaces for,” Westcott said. “We have all the spots taken.”

Anywhere between 150 and 200 volunteers will work this weekend, ensuring the festival’s safety and success.

“It’s just a ton of work,” Westcott said. “It’s not

getting easier as time goes by … there are more rules, more regulations, more insurance costs.”

But it’s all worth it, considering it benefits the Kent Lions and other nonprofits.

“We work well with the city of Kent. They do a great job for us,” Westcott added.

Notes The Kent Cornucopia Days 5K Fun Run and Walk turns 10 this year. The run begins at 9 a.m. Saturday at Three Friends Fishing Hole Park, 20025 Russell Road. Parking is available at Iron Mountain Storage.

The 3.1-mile course is U.S. Track and Field certified and flat. For those who haven’t signed up yet, race day registration and packet pickup are available near the start/finish line at 7:30 a.m.

Developer drops plans for cottage housing

KING COUNTY AWARDS VAN TO REFUGEE WOMEN’S ALLIANCE King County Councilmember Julia Patterson has provided an eight-passenger van to Refugee Women’s Alliance (ReWA), a nonprofit organization that assists refugees and immigrants living in King and Snohomish Counties.

The van will help ReWA transport seniors and youth program participants to activities throughout South King County, according to a June 21 County Council media release. ReWA provides services in South King County, including programs in SeaTac and Kent.

“Refugees in our South King County communities often face language, cultural and transportation barriers to accessing services and making a successful transition,” Patterson said. “ReWA helps people overcome these barriers.”

The developer who planned to build the city of Kent’s first cottage housing development has dropped out of the project.

Bill Ruth, president of Kent-based W.E. Ruth Real Estate Inc., said in a June 12 letter to City Planning Director Fred Satterstrom that the company will abandon plans for the Blueberry Cottages development for “many and varied” reasons.

even gotten off the ground, most never left the planning stage,” Ruth wrote in the letter. “The scattered few that came out of the ground suffered poor sales, minimum profits and usually showed large losses.

They sound good but end up bad.”

The City Council approved cottage housing in 2008 under a demonstration ordinance in an effort to give buyers more options and get away from the cookie-cutter style of homes that dominate many developments. The recession delayed the project but Ruth Real Estate earlier

this year tried to get the project going again but couldn’t find financial backing from banks.

“A short but sad analysis is that banks, large, small, traditional and hard money lenders in total say no under any circumstances,” Ruth wrote. “Lending on cottage projects has ultra bad history.”

Ruths said cottage homes are very expensive to build per square foot.

“Builders then cannot be competitive with other projects,” Ruth wrote. [ more COTTAGE page 4 ]

North Park residents criticize downtown Kent urban plan

BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com

Controversy over the use of the North Park district took center stage at a Monday night public hearing at City Hall concerning the further development of Kent through the downtown urban plan.

“To have a vibrant downtown, we need housing for all types of people,” said Alan Gray, who echoed the concerns of fellow Land Use and Planning Board members Barbara Phillips and Randall Smith regarding keeping low income housing available in the area.

The existing plan, designed by city planner Gloria Gould-Wessen, would streamline downtown zoning by sectioning the area into six distinct regions based on their pedestrian and commercial characteristics: North, South, East and West districts, as well as Central Avenue and Historic districts. The zoning in these regions would be adjusted to more align with the goals for the downtown plan as well

OSPREY PERCH Alaska Copper & Brass this spring installed a nesting platform for local osprey. It is visible from State Route 167. Osprey are retrieving debris left out in farms and other fields to use as nesting material. These materials, as seen hanging from the platform, present a serious entanglement issue for the young that are now in the nest, observed Matthew Rinearson, of Alaskan Copper & Brass.

Local farmers and businesses need to be made aware of the risks they are creating, Rinearson said.

City to host B&O tax filing workshop July 18 The city of Kent hosts a free training workshop on the city’s new business and occupation tax (B&O) on Thursday, July 18 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, 220 Fourth Ave. S. Interested parties are asked to register online at KentWA.gov/CityTaxes.

According to city auditor Robert Goehring, CFE, CPA, the workshop is designed to help filers understand the city’s B&O tax reporting respon-

sibilities.

“Participants will learn about B&O tax reporting classifications, exemptions, deductions, gross receipts and square footage tax and how to file online,” said Goehring. “Besides filing online, taxpayers will soon be able to make payments online and set up taxpayer accounts.”

Slated to go live in mid-July, a new B&O Tax Return System will allow filers to submit B&O tax returns

electronically, pay B&O tax via eCheck or credit card, complete and submit previously saved returns and view past returns that were filed online.

“We’ve made some excellent technology upgrades to make filing very simple for the taxpayer. We’re pleased to provide these new options in advance of the July 31 due date for second quarter taxes,” Goehring said.

as encouraging specific types of growth and development in each.

The plan also calls for the rezoning of a half block between Fourth and Fifth Avenues, south of Cloudy Street to a commercial use space, and rezoning several blocks between First and Fifth Avenues from single family low income housing to multi-family townhouse use.

Several board members feared that the rezoning would push low income and single family housing out of the area in favor of more expensive townhouses and commercial enterprises.

During her public address to the board, Tina Budell, with the North Park Neighborhood Association, laid into the plan, saying that it would irrevocably damage the neighborhood’s community.

“Changing the designation of our neighborhood to MCU (Mixed Use Core Urban) will kill our neighborhood,” Budell said. [ more DOWNTOWN page 4 ]

[ LEVEES from page 1 ] “One of the challenges is to get new projects on the budget and whether there are other places in the county to put funding from the transfers,” Mactutis said.

The flood district is funded by a property tax assessment of 10 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation to fund projects. That tax brings in about $40 million per year to help pay for projects along six county rivers, including the Green, Tolt, Snoqualmie and Cedar.

About $10 million pays for operating costs per year with $30 million going to fund capital projects, Mactutis said. About $7 million

City staff wants the flood control district to include four levee projects in its 2013-18 capital projects budget in addition to the $18 million BriscoeDesimone levee approved earlier this year by the King County Flood Control District Board of Supervisors after a dispute between the city and county about the best repair method for the 2.5-mile levee.

Kent staff has proposed $9.5 million for the Lower Russell Road levee; $8.4 million for the Russell Road Upper levee; $6 million for the Milwaukee No. 2 levee; and $400,000 for the Myers Golf levee.

King County staff had budgeted $32 million for the Briscoe levee under its more extensive plan that the board voted down. That project will now cost an estimated $18 million, with construction starting this year.

The county also has $5.8 million budgeted for the Horseshoe Bend levee that city staff says no longer is needed because the levee meets federal standards.

Flood district levee work under way this summer REPORTER STAFF

The King County Flood Control District has three levee projects it is helping to fund this summer along the Green River in Kent.

All three projects when completed are designed to meet the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s insurance standards for 100-year flood accreditation, according to county officials.

County staff wants to keep $2.6 million in the budget for potential property purchase near the Horseshoe Bend levee.

The county has budgeted $500,000 for the Lower Russell Road levee and $3.7 million for the Russell Road Upper levee.

Decision time The Flood Control District Advisory Committee will consider the capital projects budget at its July 18 meeting. The Flood Control District Executive Committee is expected to consider the capital projects at its

council will look at options that may include a revision of the ordinance, waiting for a period of time or abandoning the notion altogether.

“Cottage housing had worked successfully in other communities and the city wanted to test the waters here,” Satterstrom wrote in the letter.

“Your experience, even though it was unsuccessful, has given us insight to certain market and development conditions that will help the city to evaluate the merits of continuing to pursue this unique form of housing.”

The council’s Economic and Community Development Committee will discuss cottage housing at a future date.

The projects include: • Hawley Road levee: Construct approximately 835 feet of levee on the east bank of the Green River, between Washington Avenue/West Valley Highway and SR 167 along the approximate alignment of Hawley Road.

• Boeing levee: Construct a secondary levee and levee-wall combination behind a portion of

Sept. 16 meeting before the budget goes to the full board, which is composed of the members of the King County Council.

“We need to revisit this,” said Council President Dennis Higgins about staying on top of the flood control district budget process.

“If we don’t participate, we’ll be on the losing end of the bargain.”

County staff also wants to do a System-wide Improvement Framework (SWIF) to aid in the development of a framework to address key flood risk reduction issues on the Lower Green River. The SWIF study has

a deadline of February 2015 and will prioritize capital projects to repair levees.

Kent has already spent money to study the levee repairs needed in the city and city officials don’t want those projects delayed because of the SWIF study.

“We do not object to SWIF but we’ve done the studies and don’t want to wait in the case of Kent because we’ve done the work,” City Public Works Director Tim LaPorte said to the council.

The city’s projects are aimed to have the entire levee system within city limits accredited by the

[ DOWNTOWN from page 3 ] While the area discussed is only half a block, Budell fears that it will follow a progression seen over the past several years of slowly pushing low income housing out of downtown Kent. Budell says that the association provided Gould-Wessen with a number of ideas for development of the North Park area, but didn’t see any of those suggestions in GouldWessen’s presentation.

Gould-Wessen denies that the idea has been in any part of her proposal, and that the rezoning of the block was made more with consideration of ShoWare Center’s proximity to the half block than a desire to move out the low income housing.

In addition to the complaints regarding North Park, other residents voiced their opinions on focused methods for improving the atmosphere downtown.

concerns that other businesses would be pushed out of downtown, or would take their stores elsewhere if costs became too high. As a recent example, he cited a fruit store which moved to the East Hill due to high costs of operating downtown.

“It’s kinda sad when we see more businesses moving out than moving in,” Schwartz said.

“It’s a tough row to hoe,” said board member Jack Ottini, after reminding the board and audience that as a 73-year resident of the city, he’s also seen the downtown footprint expand and that there’s no easy answer to managing the growth.

Whichever choice the planning board picks, one fact is inevitable, as put forth by a 40-year Kent resident. “Growth is inevitable, you either grow or you die,” the man told the board.

www.kentreporter.com [ LIGHT RAIL from page 1 ] $8 million in the 2013 budget for project development. Officials want the route designed to Federal Way in case money becomes available to build the line that far.

Cathal Ridge, South Corridor development manager of Sound Transit, presented an update about the project July 2 to the Kent City Council at a workshop.

“By late 2016 the board will select a project (route) to build,” Ridge said to the council.

Here are the options: • Interstate 5 westside This route along the west side of I-5 could cause problems because the state Department of Transportation (DOT) has limited right-of-way north of 240th Street. The DOT also may want to use the right-of-way to add toll lanes, Ridge said.

• I-5 mix Part of the route along the west side of the freeway and part of it down the freeway median.

Sound Transit is uncertain if the median is available if DOT wants to expand freeway lanes.

• State Route 99 (Pacific Highway) Tracks could be elevated and go down the median of SR 99, also known as Pacific Highway South. This would cause minimal impact to existing vehicle lanes and businesses but would be an issue at crossing intersections and where the highway doesn’t have a median.

• 30th Avenue South Elevated along the west side of the street that runs east of Pacific Highway South. Could be difficult to transition the track from Pacific Highway to 30th Avenue.

• State Route 99 (Pacific Highway) hybrid Track would run along west side of street in some areas; down the median in some areas and along the east side in other areas. Track would be elevated in most areas, at-grade in others.

“I’ve been tracking this for a couple of years and the hybrid (option) looks like the more elegant solution I’ve seen,” said Councilwoman Elizabeth Albertson in response to the proposals listed by Ridge.

“We looked at all of the configurations and screened out a lot,” Ridge said. “It was not good to go all on the east side or all on the west side. It (the hybrid) is kind of the best of all worlds.

But this is out there for consideration, it’s not how it has to be.

There may be questions about why it’s on the east side or the west side (at certain spots).”

Sound Transit also needs to determine where to put stations and how many stations to have.

Right now the primary stations are expected to be at Kent/Des Moines near Highline Community College and at South 272nd Street (either along I-5 or SR 99).

Light rail currently runs from Sea-Tac Airport to downtown Seattle. Sound Transit has started construction on a new 1.6-mile line from the airport south to

South 200th Street in SeaTac that is expected to open in 2016. That route will run on an elevated guideway primarily along 28th Avenue South and is budgeted for $72 million this year.

Sound Transit gets the majority of its funding through sales taxes, vehicle licensing fees, federal grants and fare box revenue.

Voters initially approved funding light rail in 1996 and approved a sales tax increase in 2008 to fund expansion projects through 2023 to Southwest King County, Overlake and Lynnwood.

Ridge said once a route is picked, it will take until 2014 to compile a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and until 2016 to get a final EIS. Design of the project takes another two to three years. Construction takes three to four years, with a projected start of construction in 2019. That pushes the project completion date to 2023.

Councilman Bill Boyce asked Ridge if Sound Transit had heard any strong opposition to the project.

“No, not yet,” Ridge said. “I don’t know if that’s good or bad.

Maybe people don’t know about the project. But we sent mailings to everyone in or near the corridors.”

For more information and to comment about Sound Transit’s light rail plans, go to www. soundtransit.org/Projects-andPlans/Federal-Way-TransitExtension.

Golf course poses danger to those using sidewalk I was walking east on the public sidewalk at Meeker Street toward the Riverbend Golf Complex, carrying my 3½-pound dog when a golf ball hit her in the eye. It has caused serious damage to her eye, causing the eye to be removed and a loss of sight.

My sister was with me and yelled at the golfers, but they did not come. We rushed her to the vet, who hospitalized her for several days, and we have made several followup trips.

The incident was reported to the city of Kent. We filed a liability report with the city, advising the injury along with our vet bill and pictures, which in turn were forwarded to claims management. They have replied, advising they attempted to locate the golfer, but no one admitted it was their ball

GUEST EDITORIAL

Upon review, the Legislature was predictable Now that the interminable journey of Washington’s 147 lawmakers is over, what is remarkable is how predictable everything turned out.

Veteran observers of life under the Capitol Dome said in January that a divided Legislature, a rookie governor, a court order to boost school

funding and a slowly recovering economy created a perfect storm for bitter impasse and grudging compromise.

In the aftermath of a regular session and two extra sessions spanning 153 days, that’s pretty much what happened.

As expected, most of the signa-

COMMENTARY

?

Question of the week:

Every great cause requires a person to stop forward and make that dream a reality.

Several years ago I had the pleasure of working with a leader in our town who underestimated her ability to make the dream of a critically ill young man come true.

In 2008 Cullen Steele was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, a disease that requires the Kent boy to take a battery of drugs, including wearing a backpack that administers medication intravenously at six-minute intervals. Cullen, then a thirdgrader at Holy Family School in Auburn, was told he would eventually need a heart, double-lung transplant.

But before the specialists at Stanford University would put him on the transplant list, his family had to raise $75,000 to help pay for expenses that wouldn’t be covered by his medical insurance.

Fortunately for the Steele family, there is an organization called the Children’s Organ Transplant Organization, COTA, that exists just for this purpose. The people at COTA met with the family and local volunteers to help organize a one year fundraising campaign. At this point, Amy O’DonnellRiley stepped in to be the coordinator to help make Cullen Steele’s dream come true.

Amy had a worthy cause and dedicated volunteers to help. But the path was rough.

There were people who questioned why the focus on one kid, when there were plenty of people in need. Her pitch to a group of local government employees was turned down in favor of another charity. And as the year progressed it looked more and more unlikely that we were going to achieve the $75,000 goal.

At one point of great frustration Amy was talking to me about whether or not she was the right person to lead this effort.

ture initiatives put forth by Democrats, Republicans and Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee wound up on the editing room floor. Those which survived were watered-down or made the subject of further study.

the public. We also want to make people aware of the danger to pedestrians walking on this public sidewalk to prevent this from happening to anyone else.

Fireworks out of control When my neighbors on the East Hill in Kent started the Fourth of July fireworks on the evening of the third, I called 911. What I found was very disturbing.

You can legally torture my dog from 9 a.m. until 11 p.m., but as no one does anything about it, you can illegally continue to torture him for several more hours and begin the torture again on July 5 and July 6.

This is barbaric. When will we grow up and ban fireworks in Kent altogether?

[ BROOKE from page 6 ] She said, “I must be the world’s worst COTA coordinator.”

I lamented with her, offered encouragement, and remembered the comment.

Amy and her band of believers stayed the course. Auburn pastor Don Stevenson walked 1,200 miles throughout the state of Washington to raise money for the cause.

A Buddy Holly tribute concert at the Auburn Avenue Theater brought the community together, raised money, and spread the word about Cullen.

Friends and classmates “donated their birthdays” by asking for support for COTA instead of gifts. A Brownie troop donated their part of cookie sales to the cause.

And during one particularly low point, Leon Sanders, the father of one of Cullen’s classmates, walked into an organization meeting with three checks totaling more than $6,000 – the results of scrap metal contributions by local businesses.

As the good news piled up, I frequently had the chance to kid Amy by telling her, “Not bad for the ‘world’s worst COTA coordinator.’ ” But as the year wound down it looked like we would fall short of the $75,000 goal.

Industrial facilities recognized for environmental compliance Seventy area facilities that met or exceeded wastewater discharge permit requirements this year earned environmental compliance awards from King County’s Industrial Waste Program.

Each year, the Industrial Waste Program, which operates as part of King County’s Wastewater Treatment Division, honors local facilities whose business practices contribute to regional pollution prevention goals.

As anticipated, the session’s signature achievement could be seen coming months in advance.

Lawmakers triumphantly poured an additional $1 billion into the basic education of the state’s 1 million public school students. But it had to be done as they were under the duress of a Supreme Court mandate to pay the full price of the education the state promises rather than make local districts cover the tab.

And lawmakers of both parties pretty much never hesitated at expanding Medicaid to cover as many as 300,000 more children and adults. With the federal government covering the additional costs, it wasn’t all that hard a decision.

On taxes, neither party could claim total victory.

House Democrats and Inslee could not get the $1.3 billion tax package they wanted and Republicans could not completely block all tax increases as they

Cullen Steele is now 14 and a priority candidate for the transplant list. He now carries two backpacks to deliver critical medication on an around the clock basis. Getting on the transplant list depends on his ability to have transportation from his Seattle area home to San Francisco in four hours or less – on a moment’s notice.

If you can help in that area please contact me at dennis@dennisbrooke.com. If you’d like to make a tax deductible contribution to Cullen’s COTA fund go to cota.donorpages.com/PatientOnlineDonation/COTAforCullenS/.

You also can go to www.COTA.org and search for Cullen Steele.

Keep in touch with his progress at his Caring Bridge Site: www. caringbridge.org/visit/cullensteele.

Amy rallied her team.

Pastor Stevenson talked a local choir into a benefit concert that raised more than $10,000. Leon organized a community scrap drive, and in the end the “World’s Worst COTA coordinator” raised more than $79,000. Because we beat the one-year deadline, COTA added $15,000 in matching funds for a total

of nearly $100,000.

Sometimes success is showing up, recruiting fellow believers, and persevering through tough times. Fortunately for Cullen Steele and his family, Amy O’Donnell-Riley was there to do that.

vowed to do. In the end they agreed on measures closing a loophole in estate tax law and ending a break for users of landline telephones.

Tension on this front eased after a June report on future tax collections predicted the state would take in $231 million more than forecast in March. This battle will flare up again.

Inslee wanted to crack down on serial offenders of the state’s drunken driving laws by locking them up for longer prison terms after fewer convictions. The House and Senate found the idea too costly. They did agree to other changes aimed at keeping drunk drivers from getting behind the wheel after their arrest and getting enrolled in recovery programs.

In retrospect, it’s easy to understand why so much failed or faltered.

Liberal Democrats controlled the House and the first-term governor is a liberal Democrat, too. The Senate, meanwhile, was

under the management of the Majority Coalition Caucus made up of 23 mostly conservative Republicans and two pretty conservative Democrats who decided to join their GOP friends late last year.

Such power-sharing hadn’t occurred around Olympia for a while.

Certainly everyone knew what to expect from House Speaker Frank Chopp, DSeattle. No one was certain if the Senate marriage could hold together and operate under pressure. Neither did many know how Inslee would operate at all given his inexperience as an executive.

Fair to say, everybody knows a lot more today.

Maybe enough to predict they won’t need 153 days or nearly shutting down the government to get their work done next year.

State budget prioritizes education FOR THE REPORTER

Sen. Joe Fain (R-Auburn, 47th District)) is pleased with what the state Legislature’s new two-year operating and capital budgets mean for Kent students and their families.

“After a difficult stretch the local economy is starting to recover and for the first time in years we were able to drastically increase funding for public schools,” said Fain, who serves on the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee. “Because of a shared focus and recognition that education is not only our constitutional duty but our ethical imperative

we worked to make sure that we made a strong investment in the future of Washington’s students.”

The state’s overall operating budget provides $15.2 billion for K-12 education. Based on current budgets that means the Kent School District, which educates about 27,000 students per school year, could see as much as a $1,200 per student funding increase during the next two school years.

“One of our main focuses this year was increasing our high school graduation rate and closing the opportunity gap,” Fain said. “By making strategic enhancements in the Learning Assistance Program and programs for bilingual students we can make sure that more students are successful.”

biochemistry for a less than altruistic reason.

“Who do you know that likes chemistry? Nobody, right,” Sealfon said. “So if you want to get promoted without much interference, you chose biochemistry.”

But after a week of medical school at Walter Reed Hospital in Virginia, he was sold on lab science and the study of virology. As a laboratory officer, Sealfon analyzed diseases found in soldiers and provided his findings so doctors could effectively treat them.

Sealfon knew that it wasn’t a question of if but when he would be sent to Vietnam, and Uncle Sam called his number in March of 1970 while working as the senior laboratory officer at Fort Knox’s Ireland Army Medical Center. He arrived in the country on June 8, 1970 and began his real training overcoming a number of obstacles there.

“You have a basic skill set,” Sealfon said, holding his hands roughly six inches apart. He then widened the gap to 12 inches. “Here’s your job.”

There were a number of jobs that needed to be done that none of his training had prepared him for, and he had to work out as good a solution as he could with the resources he was given.

His first task involved weeding out soldiers that would adversely affect his organization, including alcoholic and over-managing sergeants and a neurotic, obsessive major who he relied on for additional lab

“Bad people,” he lamented, “One or two of them can kill an organization.”

Beyond building an effective and loyal laboratory team, Sealfon also had to improvise solutions for disposing of lab waste and finding weapons.

Seaflon’s lab hired a Vietnamese citizen to help dispose of the trash and laboratory bio waste, but he soon learned that she had also spent time sifting through the trash for anything of use. The practice was gross under normal circumstances and downright lethally dangerous in the context of medical waste.

“She’s gonna bring stuff back to the village, they’re gonna get contaminated, we’re going to have an epidemic on our hands,” he said.

of the disease). In exchange to test the officer unofficially, he received a small arsenal of rifles, grenades, flares and a pistol.

The lessons Sealfon learned while in Vietnam – be it team molding, improvisation or negotiation – continued to serve him through his time in the civilian world and the reserves.

“Maybe of all things it was the ROTC training, as an officer,” he said. “They always would stress: make a decision. It may not be right, it may not be wrong, you can’t sit back and think what to do, you have to be decisive, and I guess that stuck with me.”

QUESTIONS ABOUT MEDICARE?

Maintain, adjust to our summer conditions

Q. I am very upset. I have a new clematis vine called Nelly Moser and I was so excited to see many buds on the plant. One of the buds opened up to reveal lovely purple striped petals on a huge flower. Then, shortly after I fertilized the plant the buds fell off. I used a 2020-20 plant food that I also use on my fuchsias. (My fuchsias are fine so I know I did not mix it up the plant food incorrectly.) What do

Public invited to park dedication While it may still look like a construction zone, Turnkey Park’s transformation is nearly complete.

A. I think your clematis

THE GARDENER

just had a hizzy fit because you dared to push a big meal right as she was getting ready for her grand performance.

Clematis can be divas when it comes to the flower show.

They do not like being fertilized or moved or having their skinny stems knocked or damaged.

Is the entire plant wilting?

Clematis are also susceptible to a disease called clematis wilt that strikes suddenly and there is no cure. If your buds fell off but the vine looks otherwise healthy just water but don’t feed. I have a feeling you’ll be forgiven and old Nelly will be singing “this buds for you” in another few weeks once she recovers from being fertilized while in bloom.

Q. I have a great new plant called Scabiosa “Mariposa.” You told me it would attract butterflies and you were right. I love the round purple blooms but after a few weeks these flowers start to turn brown - but I see new buds emerging.

Is it okay to cut off the brown flowers? Do I cut off the stem as well as the flower heads? Do I need to fertilize this plant? Will it come back next year? I am a beginning gardener.

R.B., Tacoma lot, fencing and landscaping.

On June 7, KaBOOM!, Disney and more than 200 community members assembled a new playground along with picnic tables, benches and a learning garden.

Turnkey Park is at 23312 100th Ave. SE. Light refreshments will be served.

For more information, call 253-856-5113.

A. Congratulations on your butterfly garden – Scabiosa, also known as pincushion flower due to the round shape of the blooms is a nectar-rich perennial that attracts both humming birds and butterflies and it is a perennial so it will come back next year after going dormant this winter.

The new variety you have is called “Mariposa” because this is the Spanish word for butterfly and the flat flower heads make it easy for butterflies to sit on the blooms as they sip up the nectar.

As for deadheading, yes you should follow the stem of the faded flower all the way to the base of the plant and cut out the stem and faded bloom with one snip.

This variety of Scabiosa will continue to bloom all summer, behaving like a free-flowering annual plant if you continue to remove faded flowers.

You do not need to fertilize Scabiosa all summer long as you would a container garden or hanging basket of annuals.

Many perennial plants will grow leggy and flop over if constantly fertilized. Use a slow release plant food in the spring when you see signs of new growth.

Another growing tip is to try and keep the foliage dry when you water. Scabiosa loves full sun and soil that drains quickly – yellow leaves at the base of the plant means it may be getting too much water.

Q. I have some shrub roses that are growing out of control. Can I prune them back now? How far back can I go? Thanks. P. Email A. There is still time to get snippy with your roses but don’t delay because once the month of August arrives roses do not like to be cut down to size. You can shorten any rose plant by one-third of its height in July and always remove the three D’s any time of year – that would be anything dead, diseased or damaged.

If you have a shrub roses or landscape roses that are multi-branching such as the Flower Carpet or Drift rose this is the time of year to prune back with confidence removing all the faded blooms. Give your newly pruned roses a shot of fertilizer and you’ll be rewarded with a late summer flush of flowers

The middle of July brings questions on summer maintenance. This is your last chance to control the size of some fall and autumn blooming perennials so get snippy with mums, phlox, sedum “Autumn Joy” and delphiniums.

Continue to dead head or remove the faded flowers from annuals and perennials to encourage more summer blooms.

Lawn mowing should change a bit during the warm summer months.

Even if you love a closecropped lawn, this is the time of year to gradually allow the grass to grow taller between mowings.

Just raise the mower each week until it is at the highest setting. The taller grass blades will help shade the soil and conserve moisture plus they will create shade that discourages clover and other sun-loving weeds.

For 25 years, the Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN) has hosted the annual Pacific Northwest Historics Races.

Every year the charitable event attracts hundreds of cars and thousands of enthusiasts and spectators to Pacific Raceways in Kent to raise money for the Seattle Children’s Hospital.

To date, the event has raised more than $9 million for the hospital.

The annual event is a smorgasbord of automobile fun for spectators, with some of the region’s finest Porsches, BMWs, Alfa Romeos, Ferraris, MGs and more exotic road iron vying for the checkered flag on Pacific Raceway’s 2.25-mile road course.

In the paddock and pit areas, which are open to the public, fans can shop for auto parts and memorabilia and get close up to racing cars most people only dream of seeing in real life, such as the Porsche 917 driven by Steve McQueen in the 1971 movie “Le Mans”.

For Auburn’s Tana Bryan, known as “The Datsun Lady,” this year’s event is the 18th she has volunteered at.

In that time, Bryan said, she’s done everything from flagging on the track to guiding people around the massive three-day event.

“I wouldn’t miss this for anything,” she said. “I’ve always been into old cars and it helps Children’s Hospital. It’s also a lot of fun. I bring one of my own cars

Seattle Mist cruises to win in Legends Football League REPORTER STAFF

The Seattle Mist clinched a women’s Legends Football League playoff spot with a 38-0 win over the Minnesota Valkyrie last Saturday night at the ShoWare Center in Kent.

Seattle quarterback Laurel Creel received game most

Spectators get a close look at the Porsche 917K that was driven by actor Steve McQueen in the 1971 film “Le Mans.” The car was just one of many attractions at the 25th Pacific Northwest Historics Vintage Races, hosted by the Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN), at Pacific Raceways last weekend. The event raises money for Seattle Children’s Hospital. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter to the car show every year.

Every year I let somebody else drive my own car. This year I did the parade lap in somebody else’s car following my car.”

Bryan, who runs a Datsun parts supply business, said she first caught the car bug in 1976.

“I got my first (Datsun) for free in 1976, and I still have it,” Bryan said. “It’s a 1968 Datsun Fairlady and it has about 600,000 miles on it. I drove that as my daily driver for many years and I started buying parts cars for it. People wanted parts so I started selling parts and I’ve sold them all over the world since then. So I’ve been running that for about 25 years and I’m the president

valuable player honors, according to the Legends Football League website.

Creel threw a 35-yard touchdown pass on Seattle’s first play of the game.

The Mist improved to 3-0 in the Pacific Division with one regular season game left on July 20 in Las Vegas.

Minnesota dropped to 0-2.

In three games, Creel has completed 30 of 56 passes for 362 yards with 11 touchdowns.

The Mist beat Green Bay and Los Angeles earlier this year.

of the NWDE (Northwest Datsun Enthusiasts) club.”

In addition to being able to get her classic car fix and show off her Datsuns, Bryan said she has a personal reason for coming every year.

“My daughter was a patient at Seattle Children’s,” she explained. “She has a very rare disease, scleroderma, an auto immune disease.”

For Erica Lange, secretary for SOVREN, the event is still new to her.

“I love the raising money for Seattle’s Children Hospital part,” Lange said, clearing spectators out of the way of McQueen’s Porsche as it took to the track. “I’m not as up on all the racing stuff.”

Still, she said, she enjoys the event and the opportunity to help lure in the next generation of car enthusiasts.

“It’s great for the families to get out and just look around,” she said. “We want the public to learn about racing. We need to build interest because we want people to learn about these cars and vintage racing and get involved.”

Among the several classic cars on display at the track was Jack and Bobbie Berg’s 1956 MGA convertible roadster.

“It’s basically all original,” said Berg, an Auburn resident. “It’s been painted but it’s never been restored.”

As he buffed the car’s paint

into a higher level of shine with a cloth, Berg shared how he and his wife became the second owner of the British-made gem, which has just 55,778 original miles.

“The original owner is a friend of mine, we sail together,” Berg said. “And we were at his house for dinner one night, a whole group of us, and he hauled this out and said, ‘Is anybody interested?’ Of course, I said, ‘yeah.’ My wife said no.”

Berg said after a year of persuasion and an outing to a MG Northwest Centre car club meeting, he finally got the go ahead from his wife.

“Now if I was to leave her or something like that, which wouldn’t happen because we’ve been married 41 years, she’d take the car and give me everything else,” Berg said. “She loves the car that much.”

Berg said he and his wife attend several car shows and events every year, but this one is special.

“This is a charity event, all the profits go to Children’s Hospital and that’s why I’m here,” Berg said. “I love to go to car shows and talk to car people. I don’t want to say car people are the friendliest people in the world, but as a rule they are.

I’ve taken this to hot rod shows and been accepted, with all the big chrome V8s with 400 or 600 horsepower. This one though, is a neat event with all the money going to the hospital. It’s really important.”

T-Birds assistant takes new job REPORTER STAFF

Seattle Thunderbirds assistant coach Darren Rumble has accepted the head coaching position with the Moncton Wildcats of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

“Darren did a very good job for us, and we wish him all the best with his new team as a head coach,” said Seattle Thunderbirds general manager Russ Farwell in a July 5 media release.

It was a difficult decision for Rumble, who was an assistant coach with the T-

Birds for the past two seasons. He joined the T-Birds on June 28, 2011.

“Russ and Steve (head coach Steve Konowalchuk) are two of the finest people I have ever had the privilege to be associated with, both personally and professionally,” Rumble said. “This was not an easy decision as the T-Birds are on the upswing and there are going to be some exciting times ahead for the team. Professionally, though, this was an opportunity to be a head coach I couldn’t pass up. I would like to thank all the T-Birds fans for their support the last two years .”

Each year the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority responds to calls for ruptured natural gas lines as people work on sprinkler systems, install fence posts, or do other common below-ground projects.

Hitting these lines can result in injury, death, property damage, and disruption of services, according to a Kent Fire Department media release. In addition, you can be liable for any damage to utilities you cause.

On a national basis, there are more than 200,000 reports of utilities being hit and damaged annually.

Utility lines include: electrical; natural gas; sewer; cable TV; and water.

What can residents do to protect themselves and their property? Call before you dig.

Any time you plan on digging more than 12 inches deep, you must first call 811 or 1-800-424-5555. By making this call at least two business days before you dig, you will alert utility companies in your area of your intent and allow them to mark their underground lines on your property.

This call is required by state code RCW 19.122. There is no charge for the marking of utilities to homeowners. The cost is paid for by the utility companies to help prevent damage to their buried lines.

For more information, go to the 811 website www.callbeforeyoudig.com.
