Juneau tabbed to lead Seattle schools Tolls for downtown roads?

Queen

BY JOE VEYERA

Montana’s former Superintendent of Public Instruction is set to take the helm of Seattle Public Schools later this year.

On Wednesday night, the school board voted unanimously to enter contract negotiations with Denise Juneau to succeed Larry Nyland as superintendent.

Juneau — a Mandan Hidatsa Arikara tribal citizen — will become the first American Indian to lead the district.

“I am ready to work with the school board to help them achieve their goals of educational equity in outcomes, closing the opportunity gaps, robust engagement with community and parents, and providing a quality education for all students,” she said in statement.

More than 60 candidates applied for the position, a pool that was narrowed to three finalists. That trio — which also included superintendents from districts in Michigan and Colorado — was in Seattle at the end of March to tour schools, participate in a public forum, and interview with the board.

During a session with the media during that visit, Juneau said she had conversations elsewhere, but “it never really felt right.” Seattle had what she called the right priorities, including equity for all and closing the opportunity gap.

“I really think Seattle is poised to create a system where students are ready to

Queen Anne coffee shop readies for unexpected move

BY JOE VEYERA

After nearly 20 years in Queen Anne, a neighborhood coffee cornerstone has been given until the end of the month to vacate its space on Queen Anne Avenue.

But despite her frustration over what she says was an abrupt notice to vacate, owner Jill Killen is hopeful that El Diablo Coffee Co. won’t have

to move far.

“We’re committed to staying on top of Queen Anne,” she said. “We’re committed to being in the neighborhood.”

Killen has been scrambling since a courier handed the notice to one of the shop’s baristas late Monday afternoon, giving them until the end of the month to be out of the space at 1811 Queen Anne Ave. N.

For months, Killen said, she had attempted to work out a new long-term lease with the building’s owner, Erickson Family LLC, to no avail. The business was already paying market-rate for the space — which she says needed electrical and plumbing upgrades — but Killen did not get a response from the landlord to negotiate an agreement.

When the Queen Anne Book Company signed a new fiveyear lease next door, she figured her business would be next. Instead, they’ve been forced to look elsewhere.

“I just put $3,500 in the space that I don’t get to take with me, because the space was literally falling apart and work does need to be done,” said Killen, who also owns Royal Drummer Café in Ballard and Cloud City Coffee in Maple Leaf. “But they weren’t willing to work with me. They weren’t willing to give me a decent amount of time so I could

Durkan rolls out new climate plans

BY JOE VEYERA

Congestion pricing could be coming to the city’s downtown core, as part of a new push to reduce carbon emissions announced Wednesday.

But Mayor Jenny Durkan says downtown tolling is only one part of larger slate of “meaningful changes” to meet carbon goals and relieve traffic congestion in the face of inaction from the Trump administration.

“We know it can’t stand alone. We know it’s a heavy lift, and we have to engage people deeply before doing that, and we have to make sure that it is paired up with meaningful transit.”

“We know it can’t stand alone,” she said during a press conference Wednesday morning at Kerry Park. “We know it’s a heavy lift, and we have to engage people deeply before

Transportation is one of the two areas of focus (building efficiency the other) in a new set of short-andlong-term actions as the city tries to hit the pollution reduction targets in the Paris Climate Agreement.

In addition to studying the potential for congestion pricing, the city is also putting a

new emphasis on electric vehicle infrastructure — requiring its inclusion is new construction and in renovations that include parking — and plans to phase out the use of fossil fuels in all fleet vehicles. Also proposed is the development of recommendations for the full electrification of the ride share and taxi fleet. But with that electrification comes the need

for a wide expansion in the number of charging stations around the city.

“Ideally, we would want charging stations to be more frequent than gas stations,” Durkan said. “We want people in every part of the city to take advantage of the technology of the future, and we know there

Juneau comes to the district having managed a $1 billion budget over 450 schools and more than 150,000 students during her tenure in Montana, before facing now-Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke in a race for the state’s lone House seat in 2016.

“The work that we do is based on trust,” said Board Vice President Rick Burke. “And what I heard from so many people was that Ms. Juneau is already coming in with a high level of trust.”

Director Zachary Dewolf noted what Juneau’s background would mean to students, particularly those from underrepresented communities.

“Many of our young kids — whether they are young girls, whether they are queer folks, or native kids — will finally feel visible, and seen, and represented,” Dewolf said.

National Sinclair script undercuts work of all media outlets

“This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.”

Sinclair Broadcast Group had anchors and reporters at nearly 200 stations across the country say those words as part of promos bemoaning, “irresponsible, one-sided news stories,” and members of the media that, “use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda.”

Of course, the script provided to each market didn’t address the irresponsible, one-sided news stories mandated as “mustruns” by the company itself, or the personal bias and agenda of its conservative owners.

Instead the broadcaster is intent on sewing discord against the media as a whole, under the guise that they are the ones to be trusted and others to be looked at with a sense of skepticism at the least, if not outright cynicism.

It is true that none of us should take what we read or see at face value; a critical eye for consuming news is not a bad thing. And no media organization is beyond critique, nor should it be.

It’s the feedback from our audience that makes us better, and gives us a greater understanding of the stories that readers need to know.

But what makes this effort from Sinclair so insidious is the attempt to create this dichotomy of “us versus them,” and instill a leeriness of the media in its entirety.

There’s a difference between espousing your own values and commitments to journalism and saying that others aren’t getting the job done.

The slogan of the New York Times is, “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” not “All the News That’s Fit to Print, Unlike Some of Those Other Papers That Peddle Falsehoods and Misinformation. You Can Trust Us Though.”

The vagueness of the statement read by Sinclair anchors suggests that no outlet is to be trusted.

Sadly, this latest display — in addition to the must-run segments — undercut the efforts of the hardworking reporters in the KOMO-TV newsroom, trying their best under less-thanideal conditions to provide local news each day.

Many of them were there long before Sinclair took over the station as part of its acquisition of Fisher Communications in 2013, while others are reportedly hamstrung by contracts that include non-compete clauses and financial penalties for those who quit.

But their good work is undercut by the efforts of their ownership to push their national agenda.

And it makes viewers question if edicts from above are influencing their day-to-day efforts. We’d like to think that’s not the case.

The fact that it’s even called into question is disappointing, because displays like that nationwide script are what truly erodes the public’s trust in the media.

And you could even say that it’s extremely dangerous to our democracy.

Remembering Ray Jackson

University of Washington Husky running back and legend, Ray Jackson, passed away recently at age 83. Star of the great Rose Bowl teams from the 1959 and 1960 seasons, he’s considered by many to be one of the best players from the “Coach Jim Owens era”.

But Jackson’s contributions to our community went beyond his football career extending over decades. He also must be remembered as a pioneer in the fight for racial equality in sports here in the Northwest. Jackson also was a coach of mine who left an indelible mark on my life.

and then on the junior high and high school teams.

For my freshman year (19681969) at the UW I donned a Husky uniform with dreams of playing professionally. Several other players from the Rose Bowl era were on the coaching staff including Jim Lambright (later a head coach there) and Bob Schloredt. But the two coaches who motivated and inspired me were Ray Jackson and Carver Gayton.

SUBSCRIPTIONS 206-461-1337

After his career as running back, Jackson became one of the first two African Americans to coach football at “Huskyville”. The other was Carver Gayton, another outstanding Husky football player from Coach Jim Owens Rose Bowl teams. Jackson would leave football in the 70’s and go on to a successful career at Puget Power retiring in 1998 as its budget director. He also for many years was a boardmember and coach to Central Area youth, earlier a police officer, and always a community leader.

“Jackson’s contributions to our community went beyond his football career extending over decades. He also must be remembered as a pioneer in the fight for racial equality in sports here in the Northwest. Jackson was also a coach of mine who left an indelible mark on my life.”

in the early sixties, during an era when Husky football was essentially the only game in town (along with hydroplane races), Ray Jackson was a legend. At that time, the town of Edmonds was uniformly white and middle class.

For kids like me, growing up in the suburbs north of Seattle

I don’t think I ever met and got to know a black kid until I went to work in a lumber mill the summer before college. But that didn’t stop us from admiring and trying to emulate Ray Jackson and other great AfricanAmerican athletes who played for the Huskies, like George Flemming, Joe Jones, Charlie “he’s-stillfirst-downing” Browning, and Charlie Mitchell. First we played out our dreams in extremely rough sandlot full tackle (unpadded and unhelmeted) games with kids from other neighborhoods

While most of the coaches were ‘old school’, aggressive and authoritarian — Schloredt regularly grabbed players by their facemask, violently shaking them senseless, and favored only the few players he’d personally recruited — Jackson and Gayton believed in positive reinforcement and inspiring players to do their best on the field and in life. They offered counsel to all, not just the favored few.

My direct experience with Jackson and Gayton lasted only one school year. I got caught up in politics, disillusioned with football and left after freshman and spring ball. But what Jackson (and Gayton) offered, their lessons and influence on me, I have carried with me all my life and through my career as a homeless and housing advocate and organizer for 40-plus years in Seattle. It was only later that I came to understand the larger role these two and the other black athletes played at that time in addressing inequality within UW sports programs. Throughout the sixties, there was a high level of dissatisfaction among black players over how they were being treated. Those concerns came to a head in the fall of ‘69, the year after I left the program. In response Coach Owens called all 80 players into his office and demanded they pledge loyalty to his program. Four of the black players took the courageous stand of

saying no and were immediately kicked off the team. Keep in mind, these were kids risking scholarships and careers beyond football. And Jim Owens was revered by the white corporate power-structure and establishment, with influence rivaling the governor. While the school alumni and downtown crowd cheered Owens’ actions, all the remaining black players walked off and protests erupted in the black community.

In the wake of the turmoil and national news coverage and intervention by Gayton, all but one of these players were even -

tually reinstated.

Two years later in 1971 four other black players left the team. Following an investigation and recommendations by the UW regents, Owens hired Ray Jackson as a full-time assistant coach. Ray Jackson, Carver Gayton, Junior Coffey, George Flemming, Joe Jones, Charlie Mitchell, Charlie Browning, Harvy Blanks, Greg Alex, Lamar Mills, Ralph Bayard, Donny Moore, Calvin Jones, and others; these pioneering black ball players (and Jackson and Gayton as coaches) who stood up during the Coach Owens era played a critical role in reshaping not just of the football program but the

sports department in general. Unlike Coach Owens, not one of these ball players has a statue in front of Husky Stadium marking their contribution as early pioneers in the fight for racial equality on the field and in our community. They deserve it. Among these Husky legends, I am especially grateful for my direct experience with ‘Coach Jackson’. Thank you, Ray. I’ll always remember you.

Transportation, building efficiency main focuses

are real barriers to electrification — both because of cost and availability of infrastructure.”

And while transportation accounts for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions, building efficiency is another other major driver, with another set of proposals to address that sphere.

“We are going to be really looking to make sure that we can set the bar for not just this area, but for the country on how we build and keep and sustain more efficient buildings,” she said.

That means a new city-wide pilot — first announced during the mayor’s State of the City address in February — offering additional height and floor space incentives in exchange for significant upgrades surrounding energy and water usage, storm water management, and transportation efficiency for up to 20 major renovations in urban centers.

Durkan also wants to expand City Light’s pay-forperformance energy efficiency pilot, and find funding to transition the 18,000 homes in the city that still use heating oil to electric heat pumps.

Backed by the heads of Seattle Public Utilities, Finance and Administrative Services, and the Department of Construction and Inspections, the mayor said

she’s well aware that city agencies will have to work together on these new initiatives to hit the targets they’ve set.

“We know that we can’t live in silos, and that we have to move together as a city across all platforms to get us more ecologically friendly,” she said. “It will be a challenge for us, but we’re up to the challenge.”

City councilmember Mike O’Brien was on hand for Wednesday’s announcement as well, and said the plans were, “the types of commitments necessary for the city to be true leaders on climate change.”

“The people of this region have long been fighters, fighting to protect the arctic from oil drilling, fighting new pipelines, fighting coal exports coming through our communities, but we know that if we’re going to solve climate change, we also have to make changes right here in our community,” he said.

Durkan likened the latest plans to past environmental efforts — like separating garbage from recycling — where initial skepticism gave way to acceptance.

“We can do this,” she said. “Seattle has led, and we will continue to lead.”

Design review April 18 on proposed Interbay apartments

BY JOE VEYERA

Plans for a five-story apartment building with ground-floor retail just blocks from the Interbay Golf Center will return to the West Design Review Board for a recommendation meeting next week.

The project at 2258 15th Ave. W. — which calls for 32 residential units and parking for 21 vehicles — received mostly positive

feedback from the board last June, during its Early Design Guidance meeting. A pair of existing singlefamily residences at 2254 and 2258 15th Ave. W. would be demolished under the proposal. Umtanum Build LLC of Bellevue is listed as the site’s developer, with Seattle firm Workshop AD serving as project architects.

The meeting starts at 8 p.m. at the Queen Anne Community

Center (1901 1st Ave. W.), after the board reviews a proposed 13-story addition to the Firestone Auto Supply and Service Building in South Lake Union. Comments on design considerations regarding the development may be submitted through April 17 via email to PRC@seattle.gov, or to City of Seattle – SDCI –PRC, 700 5th Avenue, Suite 2000, PO Box 34019, Seattle, WA 98124-4019.

POLICEBLOTTER

The following are selected reports from the Seattle Police Department’s West Precinct. They represent the officers’ accounts of the events described.

BY LYDIA SPRAGUE

Overnight Burglary

At approximately 6:45 a.m. on March 28, the owners of a home in the 3200 block of 36th Avenue West called 911 to report an overnight breakin.

They told responding officers that the break in occurred while they were sleeping, sometime between 11:30 p.m. and 4 a.m.

When they woke up that morning, they found several interior doors open and the front door unlocked, not how these doors were left the night before.

The victims reported two cell phones and a laptop stolen from the downstairs study. None of the residents reported hearing any noises while they were sleeping.

Mail Thieves

Shortly after 12:30 a.m. on March 29, police responded to an apartment building in the 500 block of Aloha Street.

The building manager reported there had been a mail theft the previous morning.

The building’s video surveillance system captured two suspects entering the building by unknown means and approaching the mail room at about 1:30 a.m. the day before. The suspects opened at least four packages and took the contents before trying to force open a mailbox.

Just Looking

Just after 6 p.m. on March 28, police responded to an apartment building in the 200 block of Fifth Avenue North for a burglary that occured shortly before 3 a.m. that morning.

The building manager showed responding officers video of two suspects prying the building’s exterior door open, then heading to the bike storage locker and prying its door open as well.

The suspects looked around the bike locker but appeared to have left without taking anything.

Officers warned the building manager that the suspects would likely be back, now that they knew they could easily pry the doors open.

The building manager said she’d called a contractor who was going to come out and reinforce the doors.

Everything and the Kitchen Sink

A little before 9:30 a.m. on March 20, a contractor called 911 to report the house he was working at — located in the 2800 block of 30th Avenue West — was burglarized, and a bunch of his tools were missing.

He said he got to work at about 8:30 a.m. that morning and couldn’t get in the front door because someone had pushed his tile saw up against the door to keep it from opening.

It took him several minutes to get the door open, and once he did, he found about $4,500 worth of tools missing.

A basement window was found open, and its screen was removed. A red portable battery charger was found in the back alley.

The burglar may have parked a car in the alley and loaded the tools in it.

The contractor reported 24 tools and pieces of hardware stolen including the kitchen sink.

Stolen Baseball Cards

Shortly before 10 a.m. on March 30, residents of an apartment building in the 700 block of Second Avenue West called 911 to report a burglary, which occurred sometime between midnight and 6:30 a.m.

The burglar pried open two mailboxes in the mail room before heading down to the parking garage. Once there, he broke into two storage units, stealing six boxes of collectible baseball cards from one storage unit.

The victim told police he believed the baseball cards were worth about $10,000.

The suspect also shattered one resident’s car window, stealing a pair of sunglasses and the remote to the parking garage door.

Stolen iPad

Just before 6:30 p.m. on March 30 the building manager of an apartment located in the 300 block of First Avenue West called 911 to report a burglary.

He said there was security video of the suspect prying open the building’s front door at about 1:47 a.m. that morning. Once inside the building, the suspect roamed around before prying open the building manager’s office door and making off with a tablet computer.

He also went down to the parking garage, but the manager said he wasn’t sure if he’d stolen anything else.

Giving Up

Easy

Around 4:30 p.m. on March 30, police responded to an apartment building in the 700 block of Seventh Avenue North for a burglary.

The building manager told police there was video of two suspects picking the lock to the building’s front door. Once inside the suspects went down to the underground parking garage and tried the handles to several cars. Finding none of the cars unlocked, the suspects gave up and left. They were inside the building for about 20 minutes total.

Compromised Garage Door

Just after 1:30 p.m. on March 31, police responded to a burglary at a house in the 2500 block of 30th Avenue West.

The homeowner reported that his daughter returned from work at about 11:30 a.m. earlier that morning, and found the front door standing open.

He said he believes the suspect entered the house through the garage and exited out the front door. He found the garage door rolled up about two feet.

The victim walked through the house and found multiple drawers open and rummaged through but nothing appeared to be missing.

Two new smartphones — still in their boxes — had been taken from the house, but were later found in the front yard of the home.

The homeowner did say his daughter was missing about 25 video games and some medication bottles.

Failed Robbery

At approximately 1:30 a.m. on March 31, employees of a store in the 100 block of Mercer Street called 911 to request assistance for a robbery victim that had just walked into the store.

The victim, who had a laceration by his right eye, told police he’d been waiting at a bus stop a couple of blocks away when a small man tried to rob him.

He said the suspect hit him on the side of the head with a small club.

He said the blow caused him to lose consciousness for a short period, but the suspect didn’t actually take anything from him.

Police searched the area for the suspect but weren’t able to find him.

KIDS IN FOCUS

Ask Dr. Universe

Dear Dr. Universe: My daughter is asking, why do bees have pointy behinds? — Asma, Pakistan

Dear Asma and Friends:

Lots of bees have pointy behinds, but not all of them. The ones that do have a pointy behind, or a stinger, can use it to help defend their homes, food, and fellow bees. That’s what I found out from my friend Megan Asche, a graduate student at Washington State University who studies honey bees and takes super close-up photos of insects.

Asche explained that when a honey bee adult emerges, it chews through one of the waxy hexagon cells in the hive before pushing itself out into the world. For the first two days of the bee’s life, it can’t sting. The bee has a pointy behind, but the venom-releasing organs attached to her stinger are still growing. She needs to walk around and eat before the stinger fully forms.

Sting like a bee

If you get stung by a bee, it’s going to be a female. Males don’t have a stinger.

Female bees’ ancestors used to lay eggs inside plants or animals using a kind of shovelshaped thing on their rear end called an ovipositor. After a while, they didn’t need their ovipositor, so it stopped being used for laying eggs and instead became a stinger bees can use to help defend their home.

When a new queen honey bee hatches, she will use her

stinger to damage the wax cells where her rival queen bees are growing. She also has to look for a mate. Once she has found a mate, she doesn’t need her stinger anymore. If there’s any stinging to be done, that’s the job of the worker bees.

Ready for their close-up

In one of the photographs

Asche took in the lab, you can see that a honey bee stinger has lots of tiny sharp parts, or barbs. The little barbs on a honey bee stinger are long enough to stick in your skin. Bees don’t want to hurt you, but sometimes they will sting if they feel threatened. Once a honey bee stings you, it dies. That’s because its stinger is attached to important organs inside of the abdomen.

“They are essentially making the greatest sacrifice,” Asche said.

A call to fellow bees

When you get stung, the bee will release a pheromone, or a

chemical. The bees are basically flagging you. Other bees can sense this pheromone in the air and may show up on the scene. Their stingers may be tiny, but they sure can use them to protect their fellow bees.

“Worker bees are defending their sisters,” added Asche. “They are protecting their home and their food.”

In the end, a pointy stinger can help a family of bees survive. That’s really important for humans and other animals, too. Bees are pollinators. We rely on them to help plants grow and reproduce so that we can have oxygen, food, and a healthy planet. Can you think of other ways insects might defend and protect themselves in nature? Tell me about it sometime at Dr.Universe@wsu.edu.

Sincerely, Dr. Universe

Seattle Rep’s ‘Great Leap’ uses basketball to tell story resonant beyond the court

BY JOE VEYERA

There’s something surprisingly universal about basketball.

At least, that’s what playwright Lauren Yee found, with no shortage of actors, directors, and other theatre types expressing their love of the game, in relation to her latest work.

“I didn’t realize how many people in their youth played on a so-so middle school basketball team,” she said.

April 22 at Seattle Repertory Theatre — inspired in part by her father’s trip to China in the early 1980s to play in a series of exhibition games against that country’s top teams.

“You have to imagine these worlds that you are not apart of and generally did not experience, and you have to find something true and identifiable in it if you’re going to be able to do the piece.”

Lauren Yee, ‘The Great Leap’ playwright

The sport is at the heart of Yee’s, “The Great Leap,” — playing through

“[It’s] not my father’s story exactly,” she said, “but it is the story of a young man like my father, going to China for the first time.”

The near two-hour production jumps back and forth between early 70s China, and late 80s San Francisco, with just four actors taking the stage.

That’s not just a coincidence, concerning a sport typically played with five-person teams.

“One of the things for the audience to figure out is, ‘Who’s the fifth player?’” she said. “Where are they? And I think that’s part of the plot that you get to unravel as the play moves on.”

Balancing the two time peri -

In any case, there will be a gap between when the shop closes in its current location, and when it opens elsewhere. To address that transitional period, a GoFundMe page has been set up, with the hope that a loyal customer base will help cover the costs associated with an

unexpected move.

“It’s not easy, because there’s still going to be a downtime,” she said. “There’s still going to be a time where I’m trying to keep my employees paid somehow, and the goal is to have them help actually move and do some of the work.”

As of press time, the page had raised more than $11,000 of its $75,000 goal. Once a lease is signed, Killen said the page will be updated with more specifics about how the funds will be spent.

“We want to be very, very transparent about where the money’s going,” she said.

minds when it comes to the question of whether her work takes on new meaning in the current political climate.

“I do think that if you write a good story and the themes are resonant — it’s like Shakespeare — it will always be timely,” she said. “But there’s different aspects of it that will be refracted in really different, interesting ways depending on what time period you’re in.”

At the same time, the aspects that stand out now are of particular interest.

“I feel fortunate to be able to be presenting this story now,” she said. “I think now is a time when our relationships with other countries are particularly volatile and unpredictable, and that also just seeing the commonalities between countries is a particularly helpful thing to keep in mind.”

That’s where basketball comes in, as a sport that both the United States and China view as part of their national identities.

But beyond that, she said, it actually works as an effective metaphor for diplomatic relations.

“There are different playing styles and different strategies that you’re going to use in the game … and diplomacy’s this world in which there’s set parameters and there’s set rules, and you need to figure out how you’re going to achieve your goals within these parameters.”

Just don’t expect the characters to actually put up shots on stage.

That’s something Yee felt would be a bit too unpredictable to hinge any part of the plot. But her hope is that she still captured the spirit of the sport.

“A lot of the scenes are a showdown between two characters, fighting for their part of the role,” she said. “I think even if you’re not watching people shooting hoops and guarding each other, I think you get the feel of a basketball game.”

“The Great Leap” runs through April 22 at Seattle Repertory Theatre, before making its New York premiere in May at the Atlantic Theater Company. For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit www.seattlerep.org.

If you live in Seattle, chances are you have unexpectedly come across a mini pig being walked on a leash. Many places classify mini pigs as farm animals, which are not allowed to live within city limits. Seattle is one of the few cities that allows mini pigs as pets; where pet pigs even have city licenses like cats and dogs.

There are multiple breeds of mini pigs, including Vietnamese pot-bellies, as well as Juliana and KuneKune crosses. The full-grown weight of these cuties is usually 60 to 150 pounds, but they can reach over 200 pounds when obese. However, even the largest mini pig is still much smaller than their barnyard counterparts, which can weigh 500 pounds or more! Pigs don’t stop growing until three years of age. So, if the piglet you are adopting has parents that are younger than that, you cannot know your piglet’s full weight potential.

Mini pigs have made their way into the comfort of our homes. They are

great companions, highly trainable, easily housebroken, and make wonderful pets. Even though they can really enjoy being indoors, they still need to have daily outdoor time for environmental stimulation, grazing grass, and other foraging. Rooting is a natural behavior in pigs, so they need to have access to an area they are allowed to root in. For pigs that spend a lot of time indoors, you can make a rooting box inside the house that contains stones or straw. Fulfilling your pig’s needs for environmental enrichment will help improve their temperament and contentment.

Mini pigs need to be fed a diet formulated specifically for them.

Feeding a commercial swine food can lead to obesity since those diets are formulated to increase weight quickly. Vitamin E degrades rapidly in the feed, so make sure the feed bag is fresh to avoid vitamin deficiencies.

Salt toxicity is a very serious danger with pigs, so always supply fresh water

and avoid salty treats.

Routine maintenance and veterinary care of mini pigs includes vaccinations and tusk & hoof trimming. Tusks continue to grow throughout life. They are trimmed once they become visible beyond their lips to prevent injuries to themselves and others. Overgrown hooves can cause lameness in pigs, so it is important to keep them trimmed (usually every three to four months).

Mini pigs are growing in popularity as pets, and if you get a chance to interact with one you’ll see why! Please keep in mind that their specific needs are different than other domesticated pets, so it is important to evaluate your environment and lifestyle to identify any necessary adjustments prior to adding mini pigs to your home.

Work to start at Bhy Kracke Park

BY JOE VEYERA

Much of Bhy Kracke Park (1215 5th Ave. N.) will be closed to the public as construction work begins on a much-needed maintenance project later this month.

Funded by the Seattle Park District’s Fix It First Initiative, crews will install pipe pile retaining walls at the pathway behind the play area, and remove a deteriorating cherry tree, which will require the closure of the play area (and pathways behind both it

and the arbor), the adjacent lawn, the lower field and the picnic/ arbor area. The work is expected to be completed by early July.

While the contractor for the project — Bayshore Concrete — will work to minimize impacts to the neighborhood, the work to drive piles for the foundation of the wall will be noisy, and take about a month.

Two additives were not within the budget and will not be constructed as part of this work; an additional pipe pile wall behind

the arbor along with the removal of its northern bay, and the removal of a secondary switchback pathway at the lower garden with vegetation restoration.
