Book clean-up Volunteers wash soot off book jackets of volumes removed from the Elisabeth C. Miller Library after the May 21 fire at the Center for Urban Horticulture that caused extensive damage to Merrill Hall. Librarians estimate that 80 to 90 percent of the collection has been saved, although many books suffered smoke damage and will need to be treated in ozone chambers; or became wet and are on their way to San Francisco in freezer trucks where they can be freeze “dried.” The library will be closed indefinitely.

Streaming video from UW Medical Center Five teens taking part in a program to reduce teen smoking were at UW Medical Center last month as part of a weekend spent living together and visiting several sites in the Seattle area. At the medical center, they viewed specimens of body organs damaged by smoking and had a chance to ask questions with Dr. Corinne Fligner, director of the UWMC autopsy service. The program, set up to be like a reality-based TV show, is now available as streaming video on the Web site for the stop-smoking program, supported by the Washington State Department of Health. The UWMC visit was organized by Julianne Collier, outreach manager in Health Sciences/Medical Affairs News & Community Relations. The UWMC visit is part of Episode 5.

West S-1 entrance expanded Near the existing west parking gate entrance to Columbia Road, just off 15th Ave. N.E., an additional entrance lane is being constructed. A parking gate house will be installed and the new arrangement will include a pass-through lane for permit holders. The additional entrance work needs to be completed before construction on the UW Medical Center’s Surgery Pavilion can begin at the east end of the complex. Photo by Gavin Sisk
