’Tis the season for pickles
KEN ROBINSON W
hen we moved to a smaller place, we soon realized we had way too much stuff. Half of it is now in a big outbuilding at my wife’s mom’s house in Rochester, near Centralia. We went there Sunday to visit our stuff and eat too much at mom’s. Our other purpose in going was to get some cucumbers from an organic grower called Rising River Farms. We called the day before and left a message. The return call let us know we had to pick up our pickle cukes at the Olympia Farmer’s Market. We did that on the way to Rochester but later drove out to the farm just to look at it along the banks of the Chehalis River. We showed up at moms with our load of cucumbers, a big bush of dill and some garlic. We told her we did not know where to find one critical element in the family
recipe, grape leaves. She looked at us like we were from another planet. Her garden has two long rows of Island Belle grapes in full flower. We grabbed a handful and tossed them into the car with the other parts for pickling. Last season, we did sauerkraut. It was very good and a big hit with friends and family except for brother Tim, who later admitted he gave his jar to a buddy. Tim has a thing about cabbage in any form. Onions too. He is an odd duck. He is not getting any pickles. We have a four-gallon crock, the bona-fide type from Ohio Stoneware that would make antiquers drool if they spotted one in a Snohomish shop. Or they could just buy a new one… We have been counseled on our recipe by several members of my wife’s family when they learned we were pickling. The fundamental advice: make sure you put in the grape leaves. There were claims that this addition makes the pickle crunchier. We will see. This is actually our second rodeo with pickling cucumbers. Four years ago, we came home with a box of medium-size cukes and put them in the garage for a few days because other things in life intervened. When we did set up to pickle and can the load, the cukes were a bit soft. We filled the mason jars with the limp dills anyway. That is how we learned that they do not firm up in the jar. A friend suggested we make relish out of them. This experience made us timid about doing it again soon but we finally got over it. This time, they are going in a crock and not Mason jars.
When we were kids, oldest brother Mike got his first job at Archie Pompeo’s pickle factory in Salmon Creek, halfway between Burien and White Center (now part of Burien). Archie grew his crop on the gently sloping hillside along Ambaum Boulevard. Mike’s job was to harvest the cucumbers and prepare them for pickling. He washed and trimmed the cukes and them dropped them into big wooden casks filled with brine in a long shed at the top of the hill. That was entire process, the old fashioned way. In a future column, we will report on the outcome of our pickling enterprise. If you have never done any pickling, I encourage you to try it. It is fun and you get to say you did it!

Members of the West Seattle High School Gun Violence Prevention Club.
Students speak out for change, gun violence prevention By Kristina Karisch, Westside Seattle intern Amid a growing national discussion about gun violence and rising numbers of mass shootings, high school students in West Seattle are speaking out for change on the local and national level. For many students from West Seattle High School’s Gun Violence Prevention Club, gun-control advocacy has a personal connection. Keaton Dickinson, a rising senior and a member of the club, said the Jan. 18 lockdown at the school solidified just how important it is for students to speak up. After police began a search for a man who had a warrant out for his arrest in close proximity to West Seattle High School, the school was placed on a precautionary lockdown. Students did not know what the threat was, but Dickinson said she remembers sitting under desks and listening to rumors floating around the classrooms as to what was going on. “Our principal made one ominous announcement, ‘This is not a drill,’” she wrote in a letter to Westside Seattle. “We had no other information. ‘There’s a gunman,’ someone whispered from under their desk. I texted my mom: ‘We are on lockdown. I think there’s a gun, I don’t know for sure.’ She replied, ‘I love you.’” Although the man never entered the
school, Dickinson said the uncertainty of that day and the fear students experienced sparked her involvement in gun violence prevention advocacy. She and her best friend, Flora Medina, who just graduated from The Bush School, have made it a priority to educate others on gun violence prevention. Medina said it’s crucial for students to advocate and provide their perspectives to lawmakers. “It’s generally our lives at stake, and so while we aren’t necessarily the people who have the ability to vote on laws ... we would be the biggest advocates,” Medina said. According to data compiled by Vox, there have been 2190 mass shootings in the United States since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, which left 26 dead, including 20 children aged six and seven. Following the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on Feb. 14, 2018—which killed 17 people and injured 17 others—students across the country have taken on increasingly larger roles in the national fight against gun violence. Parkland students organized the March For Our Lives, held in Washington D.C. shortly after the
shooting, and young people across the country have been joining organizations like the Gun Violence Prevention Club at West Seattle High School or their local chapters of Students Demand Action, a national advocacy organization. In Washington, legislators recently passed Initiative 16-39, which took full effect on July 1 of this year. The law implements restrictions on the purchase and ownership of firearms, including background checks, storage requirements and waiting periods for purchasing semiautomatic assault rifles, as well as increasing the minimum buying age for these guns to 21. For Dickinson and other students, the law is an important step forward to ensure fewer shootings take place. Dickinson and Louise Schiele, also a rising senior at WSHS and a club member, both volunteered in efforts to get the law passed last fall. Schiele sees Initiative 16-39 as a “common-sense” law that doesn’t seek to take away guns, merely make them safer. Despite this, a number of local sheriffs and police chiefs have said they would not enforce the measure. “I think it shows that they just don’t care, or that they don’t pay attention,
because so many school shooters receive guns in ways that 16-39 would help prevent,” Schiele said. “It has the minimum age, it has the safe storage, and both of those, if they are properly enforced, could really help the epidemic.” Nina Claflin, who graduated from WSHS this year, researched the ways to minimize mass shootings for her senior project. Through her research, Claflin said she learned that one of the most effective ways to curb gun violence is increased background checks and limiting access to firearms, of which there are an estimated 120.5 per 100 residents. She said change needs to come from those in positions of influence, and a change in the mindset that many hold. Some of those who oppose laws like Initiative 16-39 argue that even with stronger checks, guns will still be sold illegally, rendering the law obsolete, but Claflin argues that more stringent legislation will still result in positive change in the long run. “If we can start with the people that are in charge, and people that are handling and manufacturing, distributing these guns,” Claflin said. “I think we can make strong strides. It might take a few years, but I think it will truly help the gun violence epidemic altogether.”

Burien passes ordinance to ban plastic bags New law effective January 1, 2020 The Burien City Council unanimously passed an ordinance on January 7, 2019 to ban carryout plastic bags in restaurants and retail establishments. The new law will take effect on January 1, 2020, giving Burien businesses time to use their current stock of plastic bags. Specifically, the plastic bag ban ordinance:
• Bans plastic bags from being provided at point of sale. • Requires business owners collect a minimum 10-cent charge for paper bags. • Allows businesses to keep the 10-cent charge. • Exempts damp or contaminated items, such as roasted chicken bags. • Exempts in-store plastic bags like produce bags, bulk item bags, and bags for meat.
• Provides encouragement to food banks, who will be exempt from the ban, to transition away from plastic bags. • A retailer may not collect the 10-cent charge from people presenting a voucher or electronic benefits card (EBT) issued under certain assistance programs, including Women Infants and Children (WIC), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Basic Food), and the Washington State Food Assistance Program.
The law affects all retail businesses within the city of Burien, including grocery stores, convenience stores, fast food, and temporary retailers and vendors such as at farmers markets and festivals. The City is providing support for restaurants and retailers affected by the ban. The City is providing a limited number of free reusable bags at community events to help shoppers prepare for the ban to take effect. For more information, please visit: burienwa.gov/plastics
From enslavement to mass incarceration Documentary ‘On the Brink’ will debut at Admiral Theater September ‘In Our Shoes’—A local exhibit designed to fill in the gaps in U.S. history that you didn’t learn in school In mid-July, 31 people from Lake Burien Presbyterian Church and community participated in a weeklong pilgrimage called “The Gospel & Politics of Race.” “The pilgrimage was a transformative experience for all of us,” says Crystal Hairston, Director of Worship Arts at Lake Burien PC. “We wanted to honor the sacred stories we heard and the people we met on pilgrimage. We felt responsible to bring those stories back with us to share. Creating the exhibit is our way of doing that, and we’re excited to host the community in this space.” The multi-media exhibit entitled “In Our Shoes” traces the throughline of white supremacy from enslavement, through the Jim Crow era, lynchings, segregation and redlining, to mass incarceration. It tells how the immense contributions of enslaved Africans and their descendants laid the foundation of America’s economic wealth. The exhibit also notes the
complicity of churches in perpetuating racism throughout this time. “In Our Shoes” also highlights the faith, strength, creativity, and resilience of African Americans, even in the face of persistent racialized violence. An impressive amount of information has been curated into a beautiful, thoughtfully designed multi-media exhibit. “In Our Shoes” exposes parts of U.S. history that have remained hidden and ignored, and is an excellent educational resource. Visit ‘In Our Shoes’: Lake Burien Presbyterian Church 15003 14th Ave. S.W., Burien Exhibit hours: Until August 31st Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., Closed Wednesdays Saturdays 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Sundays 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 pm, Extended Hours (after August 31st), September & October Saturdays only: 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The exhibit can also be made available during the week by appointment only. Contact office@lbpc.org or call 206.242.6023.
The producers have partnered with the Admiral Theater to screen the documentary “On the Brink” for the first time in our West Seattle community. The event will also feature a Q&A with the Filmmaker and Professor Jeff Shulman of University of Washington and cast members. The movie explores the hyperbolic growth of Seattle and its ramifications to local communities and neighborhoods. The Seattle Times hailed it as “a cautionary tale and a call to action in the face of Seattle’s rapid growth.” Crosscut wrote “The history lesson here is one all Seattleites would benefit from learning.” While the documentary takes place in Seattle’s Central District, it evokes the human impact of a transformation that is occurring in neighborhoods throughout Seattle. West Seattle is experiencing rapid changes and the Historical Admiral Theater is hosting the screening as a community event to start a constructive dialogue about our neighborhood’s growth. Please join us and help spread the word about this event on Sunday, September 8 at 7 p.m. at Admiral Theater. Tickets are $13 and are available on the Admiral Theater’s website. All ticket sales
will be donated to Southwest Youth and Family Services. Southwest Youth and Family Services partners with youth and families to transform their futures through its counseling, education, family support and youth development programs.

Nick shows how to alter the fit for a shoe.
By Rob Clay What is the most significant thing about coming to the U.S. for Nick Svyryda and his dad Vik? Street lights. Yep, that and big buildings and oh...yeah,..nice roads. From the middle of Ukraine to America is a big leap. It was a leap of faith for Vik’s family, who shared a willingness to work hard. He obtained his green card, arriving in the northwest in 2002. Repairing shoes is a skill Vik learned in Ukraine from his uncle as a young man of sixteen. Long hours with a limited resource of hand tools and one polishing machine is a craft handed down from previous
generations. Vik still uses a knife he made from a 1/8 inch flat steel bar, cut to an angle and honed to a sharp edge. He wrapped the handle in a thin piece of leather to get a better grip. When you can’t afford a fancy knife, you make an unfancy one. The skill is in the holder, not the knife. Since 2002 the Svyryda family (s-veer-da) has called Auburn, Washington their home and since then they’ve been in the shoe repair business, first as Vik volunteered at a Bellevue repair shop before opening his own store in Southcenter, until earlier this month when they moved to Burien/ Seahurst.

Ed was born September 25, 1937, in Bellingham, WA to Edward Horace Smith and Myrtle Orpha Smith. He died August 14, 2019 at Highline Hospital. There were three children in the family of which he was the second born. The family moved to the Seattle area about 1941 when Ed was about four years old. They lived on a farm in Renton that was located where the Family Fun Center is located today. He attended school in the old Orillia Grade School. The family moved to South Park in 1943 where he attended Concord School. Later, they moved to nearby White Center. Ed graduated from Cleveland High School. He worked as an auto mechanic, eventually managing a gas station. Ed worked for Group Health Hospital as a custodian, then for an office cleaning firm until going to work for Highline School District in 1994 until he retired in 2009. In 1960, he married Shirley Phillips. They had three children: Twila Taylor, Edward Daniel, and Shawn. In 1985 he married Diane Clark Bender and they had one daughter, Wesley Jo. Ed was very active in Alcoholics Anonymous for 38 years. He attended Three Tree Community Church in Burien. He volunteered for Transform Burien until 2017. He is survived by his wife, Diane; his four children: Twila Smith Taylor, Edward D. Smith, Shawn W. Smith and Wesley Jo Smith; brother; Harold Smith and sister, Beatrice Smith Carpenter, in addition to several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; first wife, Shirley Smith; one grandson, Danny Taylor and a nephew, Bryon Carpenter. Memorials can be made to Three Tree Community Church.
widening. Vik or Nick can adjust the fit of a shoe to accommodate a bunion or even make a brand new shoe fit better with an overnight stretch. If it is leather they can fix it. Customers bring in purses, work and cowboy boots, boots with broken zippers and even leather motorcycle jackets that need patches. To add a touch of class to much of their work, they offer a shoeshine service as well. One great thing about Burien/Seahurst for the Svyryda’s shoe repair shop? It is easy to find in a small building with a big street light and a nice paved road out in front. The shop is located at 15213 21st S.W. in Seahurst, just off 152nd street and next door to Bistro Baffi restaurant and Howard & Marge clothing store. Store hours are Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Shoe-repair business in Seahurst is a good fit
Tucked away in the corner of an unremarkable shopping center in Seahurst isn’t the ‘last’ place you’d expect to find a shoe repair shop but it is there. Vik and son Nick (32) began serving customers the first week of August. Nick has been learning the trade for the last five years. The community has come calling. ”Everyone is nice,” Nick said. They have regular Burien customers who frequented their Southcenter store and now do not have to go far for their needs. It is a family affair with Vik’s daughter Alina initially working the front desk and handling the phone early on while mom Tatyana makes sure the men get out the door each a.m. for the 20 mile commute with lunch bags in hand. Running a shoe repair in Ukraine is far different than here Vik said. Lack of tools and materials means customers wait longer for the repairs to get done. Business is slower and many people do not have money to pay for the service so they go without shoes. Especially when the Ukraine was part of Russia. “A kid would go to school one day,” Nick joked. “The same kid would not show up the next day so the teacher would ask why not. The kid would say the family only had one pair of shoes and it was not his day to wear them.” Vik laughed too. Their easy nature and wide smiles are part of the charm of the shop. The cubbies on the wall are filled with recent orders, a pair of platform wedges, a leather belt, buckles on a leather shoe strap and some leather sandals that needed

Be alert for opportunities when preparing for college costs
SARAH CECIL
Knowledge is golden
N
ow that Summer is winding down, it will soon be “back-to-school” time. When children are young, your logistics for the new academic year may involve little more than a trip to buy school supplies. But if you’d like to send your kids (or grandkids) to college someday, you need to plan far ahead to meet the financial demands. And, as part of your planning, you also need to be on the lookout for all opportunities to help pay those sizable college bills. Specifically, you’ll need to be ready to take action in these areas: Financial aid – You should start thinking about financial aid at least a year before your child heads off to college. For
example, you can begin submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on Oct. 1, 2019, for the 202021 academic year. And if the past is any guide, you’ll always need to remember that Oct. 1 date for the next school year. The FAFSA helps colleges and the U.S. Department of Education evaluate your financial need and determine how much financial support your child requires. And since a lot of financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, it’s a good idea to submit your forms as soon as possible once the application period opens. Scholarships – Colleges and universities offer their own scholarships, but you’re not limited to them. In fact, you might be surprised at the number and variety of college scholarships available to your child or grandchild—but to find them, you may need to do some digging. Find out what’s offered from foundations, religious, ethnic or community organizations, local businesses and civic groups. Also, ask the high school guidance office for information. Your own employer might even offer small scholarships. You can find more information on scholarships on the U.S. Department of Education’s website.
treatments, so you’ll want to consult with a financial professional to choose an investment that’s appropriate for your situation. Community colleges – Not every bachelor’s degree needs to begin and end at an expensive four-year college or university. Many students now fulfill some of their “general” education requirements at affordable community colleges before transferring to a four-year school—often saving tens of thousands of dollars in the process. Paying for college is challenging. After all, for the 2018-19 academic year, the average annual cost (tuition, fees, and room and
board) was $21,370 for in-state students at public four-year colleges or universities; for four-year private schools, the corresponding expense was $48,510, according to the College Board. And college costs will likely continue to rise over the next several years. But, as we’ve seen, by being proactive and having a plan in place, you can go a long way toward coping with these expenses and helping your loved ones enjoy the benefits of higher education.

The event will also feature a Q&A with the Filmmaker and Professor Jeff Shulman of University of Washington and cast members. The movie explores the hyperbolic growth of Seattle and its ramifications to local communities and neighborhoods. The Seattle Times hailed it as “a cautionary tale and a call to action in the face of Seattle’s rapid growth.” Crosscut wrote “The history lesson here is one all Seattleites would benefit from learning.” While the documentary takes place in Seattle’s Central District, it evokes the human impact of a transformation that is occurring in neighborhoods throughout Seattle. West Seattle is experiencing rapid changes and the Historical Admiral Theater is hosting the screening as a community event to start a constructive dialogue about our neighborhood’s growth. Tickets are $13 and are available on the Admiral Theater’s website. All ticket sales will be donated to Southwest Youth and Family Services. Southwest Youth and Family Services partners with youth and families to transform their futures through its counseling, education, family support and youth development programs.

Beware, e-scooters are coming!
JEAN GODDEN I
t is inevitable: E-scooters are coming to Seattle. There are at least three councilmembers (Mike O’Brien, Abel Pacheco and Teresa Mosqueda) who are crazy mad for electric scooters and are determined to get them —many hundreds of them—onto Seattle streets. After all, while Seattle has tarried, pilot programs for e-scooters are underway in Tacoma, Bothell, Redmond and Spokane. Nearby Everett, with a pilot completed, has already decided e-scooters can stay. How did Seattle, one of the first cities to adopt dockless bikes, become one of the last to try dockless e-scooters? The case for this latest fad in urban transit is appealing. The convenient e-scooters will zip riders along to their destinations at speeds up to 15-miles-per-hour for a modest $1 rental (suggested) and then 15 cents per minute. The toy-like devices are simple to operate and fun to ride. All that’s needed are smart-phone owners
willing to waive the right to hold the company responsible for injuries. The latter, of course, is one of the sticking points for those who might be dubious about e-scooters. If one is injured while riding an e-scooter, whom do you sue? If you give up your right to sue an e-scooter provider, the obvious target, the one left with the deepest pockets, would be the city. One can imagine the liability risks of an e-scooter ride in Seattle. One shudders to think about cracks in the pavement, potholes and fissures, as well as unpredictable obstacles. Are Seattle roadways dangerous for e-scooters? Are the devices likely to cause injuries? It’s the likelihood of injuries and even deaths that worries many skeptics. An op-ed by Dr. John Benson, published in the Seattle Times, was headlined “Don’t Go There Seattle.” The doctor, who treats head injuries, warned “e-scooters are unsafe at any speed.” He pointed to statistics from Sweden to Oklahoma that show an epidemic of injuries and fatalities. Most ominous is the fact that 40 percent of those hurt had head injuries. Another objection to e-scooters is environmental cost. Although hyper-green councilmembers like O’Brien are pushing the technology, it would be wrong to promote e-scooters as good for the environment. A full assessment must start with e-scooter production (aluminum, rubber and lithium), transportation from the manufacturer (likely in China), short two-year life span and the need for “juicers” to pick up e-scooters, recharge batteries and transport them around the city. Some argue that e-scooters are less environmentally friendly than buses, electric mopeds or electric bicycles. Among the myriad concerns the city must address is where the e-scooters will be allowed. Will they be restricted to bike lanes and streets? Allowed to travel
on sidewalks? In city parks? And, at the end of rides, where will they be parked? Councilmember Pacheco, although an unelected short-timer, wants SDOT to plan for 30,000 dedicated parking places for e-scooters and e-bikes by 2021. There are also questions about what to do for those who want to rent an e-scooter but do not own a smart phone. Will there be some provision for reduced low-income rentals and what about geographic distribution of e-scooters? Will South Enders be short changed? With so many uncertainties about adopting e-scooters, it is small wonder that Mayor Jenny Durkan is delaying the pilot. It would be foolish not to examine possible downsides. A couple of steps that have been suggested include further public involvement beyond obvious cheerleaders (company reps etc.), evaluation of other cities’ experiences and realistic analysis of true costs. One controversial step is an environmental assessment. Will the city need to do a full EPA
assessment or merely a quick, feel-good review? In the past, Seattle has been naive about adopting new technology. Remember the story of Pronto Bike, a docked bicycle rental project. Pronto seemed a great step forward, urged by former SDOT director Scott Kubly. It was sold as a non profit that would be funded by memberships, but ended up costing city taxpayers. (Full disclosure: As a councilmember, I voted for the original starry-eyed proposal.) Anyone who urges a measured, cautious approach to e-scooters will be dismissed as a curmudgeon, killjoy or behind the times. But, no matter the tarring of skeptics, it still is essential to know where we’re going and who’s going to foot the bill before we begin scooting ahead.
