June - Laurelhurst Community Club
LAURELHURST L E T T E Published by the Laurelhurst Community Club … serving the Laurelhurst community since 1920 Annual LCC Meeting Monday, June 24 6:45 to 8:45 p.m. Laurelhurst Community Center In addition to an opportunity to visit with neighbors and the election of trustees, the program will feature: n Representative Gerry Pollet, 46th District, who will talk about the problem of recently disclosed radioactive contamination at Magnuson Park. n Friends of Battelle/Talaris, who will present information about their Seattle Landmark Nomination for the property. LCC has worked for decades to preserve this site. At the 2011 Annual LCC Neighbors Meeting, David C. Hoedemaker, FAIA, and Richard Haag, FASLA, Hon. AIA, presented a Design History of Battelle Property. Excerpted from an article by Irv Blumenfeld in Puget Soundings and notes by Rich Haag: The Battelle Seattle Research Center was established in 1967. It was intended to sponsor educational seminars, conferences, and workshops and to serve as an advanced study center. Its use was expanded in 1971 to include selfsustaining contract research in the social sciences. NBBJ, the architectural firm commissioned to develop the master plan and buildings for the campus, took great care in assuring that the center would harmonize with the surrounding residential Laurelhurst. A master landscape plan by Richard Haag Associates shaped an 18-acre tract through grading, sculpting and creation of a large pond that acknowledged the bowl-like topology of the site. The unobtrusive, low-rise buildings were situated in a wooded setting defined by broadleaf evergreens, conifers, and deciduous trees. Despite changes in ownership and use, the campus continues to be a tranquil urban retreat.... n R June 2013 Public Not Alerted to Radioactive Soil Contamination at Magnuson Until Now Representative Gerry Pollet, 46th District, will be a featured guest at LCC’s annual meeting June 24. He recently held a public meeting to discuss the Magnuson Park radioactive contamination that was not disclosed to the public for the past four years. Significant contamination exists in the soils around, and the building attached to, the hangar housing Arena Sports and the Magnuson Park Athletic Club. There is also contamination in and around Building 2, which had been the indoor soccer facility prior to the Arena Sports move. The contamination was discovered in 2009 and 2010. However, the Navy, Seattle Parks, and Washington Department of Health together agreed not to post signs to alert the public to the fact that the areas they were fencing off had any contamination problems. The radioactive contamination stems from Navy use of radium paint for dials when the Park was Sand Point Naval Air Station. From reviewing the cleanup plan, Rep. Pollet says, “I am very concerned that the Navy’s plan would leave radioactive contamination at levels 80 to 240 times the acceptable cancer risk allowed for children at hazardous waste cleanup sites under Washington’s Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA). The Navy’s plan – which would allow future exposures to 15 millirem of radiation per year from Radium and Strontium – does not even reference our state cleanup standards.” Hear more about this situation and add your comments and concerns during the LCC annual meeting. Contaminant removal is expected to begin in June and be completed by December 2013 with subsequent demolition of the Building 27 South Shed and restoration of the hangar south wall continuing into 2014. n LCC Promotes Pesticide-free Garden Practices In May 2007 the LCC board of trustees voted unanimously to support efforts to educate our neighbors about gardening without pesticides and using safer alternatives to promote a healthy environment. Refrain from using toxic pesticides and instead opt for safer lawn and garden alternatives. Contact Washington Toxics Coalition (WTC) at 632-1545, www.watoxics.org, for a wealth of information on products and pest control. Why not use pesticides? The devastating effects of pesticides can include neuro-toxics, endocrine disruption, sensitizers/irritants leading to allergies, and cancer. They’ve also been linked to Parkinson’s. Pesticides are tracked into our homes and also drain into the soil and contaminate streams and lakes (think, Beach Club) where they affect humans, environment, and sea life. To get started with natural lawn care, visit King County’s website at www.metrokc.gov/dnrp/swd/naturalyardcare or contact the Natural Lawn and Garden Hotline weekdays at 633-0224. Finally, share safer gardening techniques with neighbors and hire gardeners who use safe practices. If you use a spraying company, insist on an organic, safe solution (many have developed them). Let’s work together to reduce the use of toxic pesticides, and keep Laurelhurst beautiful and safe. n LAURELHURST LETTER • June 2013 U Village Sidewalk Sale and Summer Concerts Meet New Businesses The 56th Annual University Village Sidewalk Sale, which is coming up on June 13-16.

More Time For Five provides a child with the gift of time and ultimately prepares them to flourish in kindergarten. The learning in this program looks like play, but is play with a purpose. It is developed specifically for the five-yea-old student and includes: • Thoughtfully planned and facilitated lessons to help each child develop their sense of self and assume responsibility for their choices. • Answers to the social, emotional, and academic needs of young learners not ready for kindergarten. • Exploration of topics in greater depth with dialogue and discussion. • A focus on kindergarten success skills: fine motor, gross motor, and pre-literacy. The program is not simply repeating a year of preschool. Says Heidi Goldsmith, who works in admission at Villa Academy and taught preschool for 10 years, “It can often happen that programs keep kids in a sort of holding pattern, just keeping them busy until they can go to kindergarten. If kids are in a class where they repeat what they learned the previous year, then the learning can become stagnant, and they can become bored and disengaged.” Villa Academy’s More Time For Five is designed for children who: • are eligible for kindergarten, but would benefit from the gift of time and additional preparation. • miss the Washington state cut-off date for kindergarten. It is also an option for those who may have attended pre-K classes elsewhere. For additional information about Villa Academy’s More Time For Five program, please call Christa or Heidi at 206-527-9388 or visit www.thevilla.org. an alternative medicine clinic that specializes in treating autoimmune diseases and disorders – recently moved to Laurelhurst.
