"Stokes rescue evolution" doesn't mean anything to me. Can you translate that?

A Stokes litter is the type of metal basket stretcher that is used often in rescue situations. In the pictures, the ladder boom of the fire engine is being used as a crane to lift out the stretcher.

Would be REALLY helpful if the CoR mentioned on the official Renton Farmer's Market that there will be no Sunday market this year instead of making people hunt down the info (or lack thereof) :-( I'll opt to head out the Maple Valley FM on Sat's instead. A bit of a drive but they always have good eats and offerings! Just wish they had more than 1 vendor offering farm-fresh, free-range eggs <sigh> as the vendor sells out sooo quickly!

When we partnered with the City of Renton to launch our Farmer’s Market in 2011 we were very…Read More excited to provide a convenient place for the community, our staff, patients and their families to find nutritious natural foods. Our decision to close the VMC market after two seasons was not an easy one to make, and it was purely a financial decision. The market was more expensive to host than we anticipated, and we didn’t draw the crowds we expected. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you can’t make the Renton Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays, here are some other options with weekend and later hours: Maple Valley Farmers Market: 25700 Maple Valley Black Diamond Hwy (Rock Creek Elementary School); Saturday, 9:00am - 2:00pm; Jun 15 - Oct 05; www.maplevalleyfarmersmarket.org. Auburn International Farmers Market: Auburn Station Plaza, 23 A Street SW; Sunday, 10:00am -3:00pm; Jun 09 - Sep 22; www.auburnfarmersmarket.org. Des Moines Waterfront Farmers Market: 22307 Dock St; Saturday, 10:00am - 2:00pm’ Jun 01 - Oct 26; www.DMFM.org. North Bend Farmers Market: Si View Park; Thursday, 4:00pm - 8:00pm; Jun 13 - Sep 12; September market hours: 3:30-7:30pm; www.siviewpark.org/farmers-market.phtml.

Went out of town for (4) four weeks and hired Torrens Landscaping Company to take care of my lawn…Read More while my family was on vacation. When we returned, our neighbors commented that our lawn had never looked better. Torrens Landscaping came each week for only $35.00 and mowed the front yard. We have continued to use this company because it does save time and wear & tear on my own lawn mower. Just can’t beat the price and the service this company provides!

Mr. Lambert says some things that are speculative. For instance, how does he know that City Attorney…Read More “Larry Warren was not willing to defend the City “? However, Mr. Lambert does raise interesting questions. What transpired at the three-person meeting of June 27? That wasn’t a casual get-together that occurred spontaneously, it was a planned meeting about business concerning KCLS and the City. If the City cannot provide notes from the meeting, I have to ask “Why?” Were they lost? Were they never taken in the first place? If notes were not taken in such an important meeting, why not? The “threatening letters” mentioned by Mr. Lambert should be made available for public consumption. That’s called “transparency.” Are they available on the World-Wide Web? If there is a third such letter, why hasn’t the City provided it to Mr. Lambert? The idea of one government agency’s suing another is interesting but scary. Who pays for it? (Taxpayers, of course!) Who wins and who loses? Could KCLS have prevailed in a lawsuit that pitted its interpretation of the inter-local agreement (ILA) against the vote of the citizenry? If so, how would that have affected the initiative process (other than helping KCLS)? The ILA that I and Mr. Lambert refer to is document CAG-11-130, available on the City’s website at http://rentonwa.gov/uploadedFiles/Governement/CAG-11-130%20Interlocal%20Agreement.pdf . The library issue continues to generate questions.
