Admiral Theater on track for ADVERTISING spring makeover as seats arrive The renovation of the Admiral Theater is on track and set to take place most likely in March according to Entertainment Director Dinah Brein. The seats (gently used) have arrived, a cushy red velvet style and the process of installing them will take place along with the conversion to four theaters this spring. The four-plex sections will not be equal. The front theaters will have closer to 200 seats with the screen about midway into the present depth of the building. They will be conventional seats looking down at or roughly level to the screen. The back theaters will be smaller and be stadium style seating but looking up to the screen. New carpet, new paint and new wall coverings, of course, will come in but the digital projectors (state of the art Digital Laser products) have been in place for a few months now since The Admiral shows first run films. It’s likely the theater will close for about two weeks to permit the complete renovation of the restrooms since it means everything will be updated and made modern. The initial plan for the theaters themselves was to close one side and remain in operation on the other side as the
conversion takes place. The funding for the renovation is being provided to a large extent by the award of $95,000 from a City of Seattle cultural grant. Speaking of first run films, Star Wars The Force Awakens will debut at the Admiral on Dec. 18

Surely the distillation of this stereotype rings shallow, but there it is, and here is my defense. As a millennial, I have opted out of voting because all too often I have not felt represented
The unfortunate consequence of such opting-out is that millennials and millennial perspective are evermore under-represented by those politicians and institutions that implement policy and nevertheless represent us.

CHRISTY PHU CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Si Phu is no stranger to the law. Earlier this year, court documents show, Snohomish County prosecutors charged him with cyberstalking-domestic violence. Investigators said he sent threatening text messages to an ex-girlfriend after a breakup. Probable cause documents filed with the prosecutor’s office state that a detective “conducted a pre-
liminary examination of text messages on the phone and noted there to be repeated and specific threats by Si Phu to kill Christy Phu by shooting her.” Investigators said that “he has threatened surviving family members.” Phu is being held on a $2 million bond and charges are expected later this week. Some of the content in this story is from our news partner Q13 Fox News.

In addition to the Water Taxi system milestone, each route is achieving a record year for ridership. The West Seattle route currently stands at 307,500 passengers for 2015.

Theater review ACT’s A Christmas Carol is best when it’s wacky and weird By Amanda Knox
Additional ridership details: The King County Water Taxi celebrates its 500,000th passenger
sengers for 2015 and will exceed 200,000 passengers later this month. The previous record on this route was 187,824 passengers set in 2013. As the Water Taxi service continues to grow, so does the King County Marine Division’s fleet. Earlier this year, the Water Taxi launched two new vessels with the capacity of 278 passengers each. In the prior three years, the Marine Division also added a back-up vessel along with a new moorage and maintenance barge as part of its fleet expansion.
This year ACT is performing its 40th Anniversary Production of a yearly holiday tradition, A Christmas Carol. It’s a bit ironic, considering that ACT is otherwise a theatre focusing on contemporary, progressive theatre productions. But that’s OK. Some stories have staying power. A Christmas Carol is a sentimental reference point for many who celebrate the Christmas holiday—that’s why there are so many iconic film versions—so why shouldn’t it be so for ACT as well? ACT’s A Christmas Carol suffers from its attempt to reconstruct the cinematic, without the benefits of cinema. For example, Kurt Beattie is a brilliant Scrooge when he’s hunched behind his accountant’s desk, rhymically counting coins, barking orders, and scowling scorchingly at anyone who looks at him the wrong way. But it is most awkward to watch the same Scrooge flail his arms about his head and twirl around the stage in order to recreate the idea that he is flying through the air on his way to the past. Why not take advantage of the strengths (instead of emphasize the weaknesses) of the theatre to arrive at these same scenes? Scrooge doesn’t need to fly. ACT’s A Christmas Carol is at its best when it takes advantage of the direct connection the theatre offers between the talented actors and the audience, and also when it gets wacky and weird. In terms of the weird, G. Valmont Thomas is an excellent Jacob Marley, with amazing physicality that takes up the whole stage. He is effectively creepy and pitiful from the moment he erupts from beneath
a trapdoor, lurches around the stage, dragging his chain, to the moment he is finally dragged back down again, moaning and wailing. Similarly, it is a surprisingly weird and creepy moment when the oft-overlooked characters Want and Ignorance writhe out from underneath the Ghost of Christmas Present’s robes, wrapped in rags like tiny, freaky, memorable mummies. In terms of the wacky, Rob Burgess is a winning Mr. Fezziwig, also effectively taking up the full stage with his jolly clowning that comes across as very genuine and benevolent. Another oft-overlooked character, the Turkey Boy, also becomes memorable through Brandon Oke, who puts on the most hilariously incredulous face, and exclaims, “Why, it’s Christmas Day!” To top it off, he exaggeratedly thrusts his arms out in front of him a few times for good measure. It’s hard to explain how funny this is without just seeing it. All in all, for a theatre that usually caters to “curious, openminded, and brave audiences,” ACT’s rendition of A Christmas Carol features strong, talented actors, but is disappointingly unsuccessful when attempts to recreate iconic film productions. It would have been better had ACT re-envisioned the story so that it catered better to the theatre setting. As it stands, you might as well just watch one of the film versions—The Muppet Christmas Carol being my personal favorite. A Christmas Carol plays Nov. 27–Dec. 20 at ACT (700 Union St., Seattle). Tickets are on sale now and may be purchased online at www.acttheatre.org or by phone at 206.292.7676, or at the box office.

Consider long-lasting financial gifts to grandchildren
Knowledge is golden Sarah Cecil On Sept. 13, we observe National Grandparents Day. If you’re a grandparent, you might get a card or a little present from the grandkids. However, you will probably get great-
er pleasure from the gifts you give them. And if you’d like to make a financial gift, you’ve got some attractive options. How you choose to make your gift depends somewhat on how you’d like the money to be used. Do you want to provide an intermittent source of income that your grandchildren can use at various points in their lives? Or would you rather designate your gift to be used exclusively for college? If you’re interested in the “intermittent income” type of gift, you might want to work with a legal professional to establish a trust, which offers several key benefits, including the following: Wide choice of investment options—A trust can be funded with virtually any financial instrument—stocks, bonds, cash, and
so on. Although the trust owns the assets, you, as trustee, control them and can decide what type of investments to make. Flexibility in distribution of assets— You can direct the trust to distribute assets to your grandchildren at various ages. Many trusts make payouts at 25, 30 and 35 years of age, but it’s your choice. And you can determine when the trust will terminate. Reduction in estate size—Currently, only a small percentage of Americans pay estate taxes, but these laws are frequently in flux, so someday it may be to your advantage to have reduced the size of your estate through gifts to an irrevocable trust. As of 2015, you can give up to $14,000 per year ($28,000 for a married couple filing jointly) into each irrevocable trust you create for each grandchild without incurring gift taxes.
Your grandchildren can obviously enjoy the financial benefits of being beneficiaries of a trust. But if you want to specifically earmark some funds for your grandchildren’s college educations, you can find other vehicles that may be more appropriate. One such possibility is a 529 plan. Contribution limits are quite high, and your earnings can accumulate tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS penalty on the earnings). Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be eligible for state income tax incentives. But 529 plans vary, so check with your tax advisor regarding these incentives. If you, as a grandparent, own a 529 plan, it is not reported on the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the document commonly used to determine a student’s financial aid eligibility. However, withdrawals from your 529 plan will be treated as untaxed income to your grandchild and could significantly affect your grandchild’s financial aid eligibility for the following school year. Consequently, you may want to save your 529 plan assets for your grandchild’s final year of college. By establishing a trust or investing in a 529 plan, you can help improve the quality of life for your beloved grandchildren. Consider taking action soon.

A major landslide destroys one home and affects others Record-breaking heavy rains the week of Dec. 7 in the Puget Sound region caused a large landslide in the Burien community Tues., Dec. 8. The slide occurred in a private residential area just north of Seahurst Park. The area is known as Standring Lane and is a gated beach community. There is no public access. Following the slide, only emergency personnel from the City of Burien and some other officials were allowed entry. The point of the slide is south of the entry. Photos and other information about the slide were obtained from the City of Burien. We have no estimate of damage, but have been told one house is destroyed and one vehicle was pushed into the bay. Our sources in the area have told us residents there do not want to talk to the press. What follows is information from the City of Burien. The City of Burien has worked throughout the day with geotechnical specialists to assess conditions at the site of the mudslide that damaged two houses north of Seahurst Park. Preliminary reports indicate that the slope has not stabilized and evacuation orders remain in effect. Residents of all five evacuated homes are to remain away from their houses overnight but, except in the case of the most-impacted house, residents will be allowed back to retrieve belongings under supervision for short periods of time.

Details of Geotechnical Review: The slide began at approximately 150 feet elevation—about half way up the slope—where soil composition changes. Above that point, ground water is absorbed. It then seeps out below that elevation. Given wet soil conditions over the past several days, seepage behind the slope’s surface layer likely caused the soil to blow outward, resulting in the slide. The source of the slide and much of the debris field lies within the property lines of the southernmost house. It is typical in slides like this one for the margins to continue settling. This will be particularly likely as rains return overnight and throughout the coming days. Details of evacuation status: Access to the southernmost property is prohibited. The public is asked to stay away from the area as further settling remains likely. Signs will be posted at the north end of Seahurst Park to prevent public access from below the slope. The property owner of the secondmost southern property will be allowed to return to collect personal
items briefly and under supervision. The stability of the slope above that property remains in question and further settling is likely. Property owners in the remaining three evacuated houses will be asked not to reoccupy their homes until they are able to demonstrate through an independent geotechnical study that it is safe to return. Other updates: The city is working with the Fire Department to secure the vehicle that was pushed past the bulkhead in the slide. At this time, there is no access to be able to tow the vehicle out of the water. Staff on site indicates that there is no evidence of oil or gasoline leaking from the vehicle. The Homeowners’ Association has asked the public to respect their privacy at this time. Updates will be provided at www. burienwa.gov under “News & Announcements” as information is available. Update as of December 11: City of Burien leadership continues to work with homeowners impacted by Tuesday’s mudslide as evacuation orders remain in effect. Reports from the area indicate that the toe of the slide is still moving, though at a very slow pace. As the city’s response moves from preserving public safety into evaluating impacts to the environment, the city is coordinating with Washington State Department of Ecology to determine what cleanup response is feasible given the ongoing settling at the site. The city’s geologist maintains his recommendation that staff, residents, and the public stay away from the evacuated area and far away from the toe of the debris. Any disturbance to the debris, as could happen during cleanup, has the potential to further destabilize the slide. Because of these risks, Ecology is not requiring removal of debris at this time. Property owners hold the ultimate responsibility for the cleanup once it is safe to do so. As a condition of re-occupancy, homeowners in the evacuated area must complete further geotechnical studies of their property to make sure it is safe before they resume living there. As reported yesterday, Red Cross resources have been made available if shelter is requested. King County Office of Emergency Management announced yesterday that those who suffered property damage or other losses in this week’s storm may be eligible for assistance. Information is available at www. kingcounty.gov/damage and a hotline has been set up at 800.523.5044.

During last night’s regular Council Meeting the SeaTac City Council repealed the city’s utility tax effective March 1, 2016. The Council originally adopted the utility tax in Oct. 2014, making it effective beginning Jan. 1, 2015. The six percent (6%) tax originally adopted in Oct. 2014 applied to electric energy, natural or manufactured gas, solid waste (5%), surface water management, telephone, and cable television businesses within the city. The ordinance repealing the tax will not affect utility companies’ payment of the tax through February of next year. The low-income, senior citizen utility tax relief program will also remain in full force while the tax is in effect. The annual rebate program applies to SeaTac residents who are very low income and either 65 or older or disabled and unable to work. More information on the utility tax and relief program is available on the city’s website at www.ci.seatac.wa.us/ utilitytax.

Police arrived to the scene to find the victim laying on the ground. A K-9 unit was brought in to help locate others involved in the shooting but attempts were unsuccessful. The victim was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but his current status has yet to be updated. Police are asking that anyone with information about the crime contact the Tukwila Police Department by calling 206.433.1808.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Waive the Visa Program, not the liberty In response to what happened in Paris and California, the House this week passed legislation that changed our Visa Waiver Program. After talking to my fellow Seattleites, I’ve learned that many don’t know exactly what this program is. And why would they? It isn’t something that any of them will ever use. But I tell you, it is still important. The Visa Waiver Program uses the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) to eliminate the need of a visa for people from partner countries, thirty-eight of them in all including Western Europe, Japan and Australia. People from those countries go on the ESTA website, pay a small fee and answer security questions. Then sometime in the following day(s) they are granted permission to enter the US for three months without having to apply for a visa at a consulate or embassy, a process that can be lengthy, arduous and expensive. The new bill, according to CNN.com, would bar those from Iraq, Syria, Iran and the
Sudan, and any traveler from the partner countries that has visited those countries in the last five years from entering the US without a visa. Iraq, Syria, Iran and Sudan were never part of the program, so people from those countries always needed a visa to enter. No big change there. The people this mainly affects are those with which we have strong solidarity, like France, which was also the catalyst for the urgency of this bill. How ironic. But, okay, this doesn’t completely bar someone from the country. It just stops them from using the Visa Waiver Program. And it’s hard to argue that increased screening, for let’s say a Frenchman who has been to Syria in the last few years, even if it seems draconian and robotic, would be bad. After all there is a war going on. But there is also a provision in the bill that allows the Department of Homeland Security to revoke program status if a partner nation doesn’t share adequate traveler information with them, something that the European
Union has already warned could have a backlash for US travelers. Many countries have reciprocal visa policies with the US; if we require an expensive, lengthy visa process for them, sometimes they require the same for us. So if we revoke the non-visa status from Europe, that could mean, if we want to travel to France, it would cost us money and time. There is also the possibility that they might turn us away for something that we’ve done in the past or for somewhere that we have gone on vacation that they don’t like.
from entering a neighboring country because of something that you weren’t even found guilty of. Could something similar start happening every time we try to leave the US? What if a DUI you haven’t even been convicted of stopped you from being able to enter every country in the world? Our perception has been put through a cheese-grater, and we think that this legislation is mild because we have Trump on the far, radical right—on the far nuts— screaming to keep all the Muslims out. Meanwhile Senator Feinstein and Senator Flake are proposing a bill that would have people get biometric screening in an embassy before they applied for entry. Could you imagine traveling to Europe and having to get a biometric screening before going? After the countless domestic acts of terrorism, Obama and our Congress push to change border laws. Then the laws that they do change mostly affect our allies and potentially ourselves.
as a whole and their ability to move around the globe freely? Is travel a luxury, and by traveling, do we put ourselves in the position to be scrutinized? Do these laws help the war on terror? I know that we are trying to protect ourselves and that it is a dangerous world out there and all are enemies are waiting for us in the darkness ready to pounce on us when we make a mistake, but fear can be powerful and it can cloud our judgment. Let’s be careful not to trade liberty for security.
They will have all of our information on a screen. We share criminal information with Canada and they share it with us.

As I was preparing to write my latest column concerning the recent dreadful events in Paris, two other appalling incidents occurred…the Planned Parenthood attack, followed by the bloodbath in San Bernadino. The deeds of the perpetrators may be ‘explained’ by ‘political’ or ‘religious’ motives, while remaining forever incomprehensible to most of us. But such episodes bring home the fact that, on any given day, or in any given moment, we cannot know what may be delivered in our direction. We could step out the door to never return, or chat with a loved one, never dreaming this will be our final conversation. Fortunately, violence or terrorism is rarely responsible for our ever-evolving fate. To the contrary, it is likely to be something

SDOT looking to create RPZ parking in central Ballard
By Shane Harms
Area in the Ballard Urban Hub SDOT surveyed.
Seattle Department of Transportation has done a new study that could designate an area in Central Ballard as a Restricted Parking Zone. The Central Ballard Residents Association sent Seattle Department of Transportation a letter last September that requested they look into implementing an RPZ after a rise in street-parking congestion. Michael Kahrs is founder and Committee Chair of CBRA. He said that the group was concerned for the wellbeing of residents in Central Ballard. “One of the issues I was seeing problems with was parking. It seemed that every neighborhood that’s had growth has had success with an RPZ, and Ballard did not have one,” said Kahrs. ““Parking has been an issue near and dear to my heart since I started CBRA, and my goal is to make it easier for residents to live here.” SDOT responded by doing an RPZ study in Central Ballard last year, focusing on the residential area to the north of the Ballard Urban Hub core (N.W. 57th Street to N.W. 65th Avenue and 15th Avenue NW to 28th Avenue N.W.). The findings did not justify designating an RPZ. In order to implement an RPZ, 75 percent of on-street spaces must be occupied, non- resident vehicles must occupy at least 35 percent of those spaces and the zone falls within 20 contiguous blocks. Later in May/June of this year there were changes to the commercial parking in the Urban Hub. Paid parking hours were extended from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and paid parking was added to Ballard Avenue N.W and other blocks. SDOT waited for citizens to acclimate to the changes
before doing a follow-up study for an RPZ. However, this RPZ study focused on areas further south of N.W. Market Street, and it revealed different results from the previous study. SDOT determined this by surveying license plates at evening and morning hours on Wednesday and Saturday. This time the findings warranted implementing an RPZ. In all hours surveyed, parking was over 90 percent occupancy with close to 50 percent non-residents. So what comes next? Ruth Harper with SDOT headed the studies. She said that just because the findings warrant an RPZ there is still some work to do. “We are still very early in the process and no decisions have been made,” said Harper. SDOT plans for public meeting to gather community input on designating the area as an RPZ zone. They plan to send out a zone survey in early 2016 and have public meetings in the spring to discuss zone boundaries and hours of operation for the zone. “The details we’d like to hear about include whether we chose the right hours or the right blocks or if residents think this will make parking better. People say many different things, and we want to hear what they think.” If implemented residents in the zone would need to apply for a permit. Permits cost $65 for two years and permitted vehicles would be able to park in the same spot in the zone for up to 72. There are currently 31 RPZs in Seattle and the last one implemented was in Fremont. Most zones allow 2 hour parking for individuals without permits. For more information about RPZ visit www.seattle.gov/transportation/parking/parkingrpz.htm
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Another pot shop in Ballard?
Summary of SDOT’s RPZ study.
To the editor: I am writing to inform the editors that there is a influx of marijuana stores coming to Ballard. I already know of two that are currently open, and I just read that another plans to open in the Ballard Historic District. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? We all share the same belief that we need to keep Ballard’s
character the best we can. I for one cannot accept a POT SHOP in our beloved historic district. Does the Ballard News Tribune have any thoughts on this? Perhaps a story on this topic is due. Thank you for your time and I would appreciate any insight you may have on this matter. —Steven Jarvis, Ballard

Boy Scout Troop 100 begins holiday tree sale Sold trees mean adventure

BALLARD OBITUARY
By Shane Harms North Seattle’s Boy Scout Troop 100 has begun its annual tree sale at St. Alphonsus Church in Ballard. The tradition has been going on for over 60 years in the Ballard community. In fact, this fall Troop 100 will be celebrating their 75th year as a troop in Ballard. The sale is their sole fundraiser for the year. The fundraiser raises money for their many adventures in the wilderness and to pay for summer camp. Once a month from September to June the scouts have an outing and the funds go toward paying for those trips. Also, every year scouts have a special summer trip where they go backcountry and hone their skills. Last year the troop sent 45 kids down to Camp Meriwether in Oregon. For their special summer trip they went canoeing down the Pend Oreille River near Spokane. Ballardites should hurry to claim their trees because they are going fast and this year they have everything from Norway Spruce, Noble Fir, Grand Fir and Fraser. Wreaths and garland are also offered. Even the local Firefighters from
Station 35 in Crown Hill ornamented their fire engine with a wreath from the scouts. Firefighter John Stone of Fire Station 35 ran the lot for four years while his son was in the scouts. He said that he comes down to support the troop when he can. Fighters Adrian Beer, Joel Petrella and Lt. Collins joined Stone last Thursday. The crew purchased a wreath from the scouts and pinned it to the front of their fire engine. Ballardite Dave Hansen has a son and daughter involved in the scouts. Hansen was volunteering at the tree lot when the Ballard News-Tribune stopped by last week. “I couldn’t think of a better fundraiser for us to do. Scouts love the outdoors so to raise money working with trees makes a lot of sense— you’re smelling the trees and outside working,” said Hansen. ”We’ve been blessed that every year we can send the scouts out to do something they all enjoy.” The tree sale started just after Thanksgiving and will continue until the trees are gone or Dec. 20.

High School in 1970. At the age of 15, Walter got a job painting halibut schooners at Pacific Fishermen Shipyard. It was then that he decided he wanted to become a fisherman. After graduation Walter immediately went off to Southeast Alaska for a summer of salmon seining. That was the start of a rich and colorful career for Walter that spanned over 40 years and included west coast trawling, Bering Sea crabbing, and Bristol Bay salmon. In the early 1970s, Walter fished the west coast on the Windjammer where he met and became friends with Dan Hanson. Then he went onto the Norseman with Kjell Fjortoft in 1975 and started Bering Sea crab fishing. From there he went on the Valiant with Scott Bowlden and Peder Hvatum and eventually he became partners with Peder on the Rosie G in the early 1980s. During the 1970s, he also fished with Magne Nes and later Russ Ott on the Ocean Leader. He also fished on the Aleutian No. 1, and he was captain of the boat, which was owned by another friend from Ballard, Ron Peterson. Walter also bought his own drift boat, the Miss Sonja during the 1980s, which he fished till the mid-2000s in Bristol Bay. In the late 1980s, Walter went to work for Kevin Kaldestad and he became a captain and part owner in the crabber, Arctic Mariner which he ran for Kevin until the fall of 2005. Walter was always a top producer in salmon and crab fishing and he took pride in his work and in being a fisherman. Walter, along with Dan Hanson and Tom Suryan, found-

He remembered details such as someone who made beer in the bathtub and the slow, slow boat stateside. He played in clubs all over Seattle in a band before the war, the Johnny Star Band. His instruments were clarinet and saxophone; a Margaret Anderson from 39th Street was the piano player. “We just love him so much,” Lori Harris said many times over the week, with a Texas delivery and voice that gets her recognized sight unseen at drive-through restaurants. Perhaps it was that accent that called to mind that sitcom from my childhood: “Love American Style.” Yet this isn’t really about a Ballard couple reunited after 54 years apart, the love story is the almost improbable connection between a family in Texas and an undeniably old man who loved their distant cousin Helen.
