"We're trying to create a neighborhood within a neighborhood," said project manager Chris Laurent.

"We're looking for a sense of place." The development would try to attract retailers that wouldn't directly compete with established businesses on nearby East Johnson Street, Laurent said. City Council President Brenda Konkel, who represents the area, applauded Gorman for reaching out early to the neighborhood and establishing a climate of respect. "Generally speaking, I think the neighborhood is glad to see some redevelopment on that block. I think they're will- ing to look at things that would be a little different. (But) there are a lot of details to work out." Meanwhile, McGrath and Associates submitted general plans Wednesday for the $75 million Union Corners project in the 2400 block of East Washington Avenue at Milwaukee Street.

McGrath, who has been working with neighbors and city staff for about 18 months, is proposing 420 apartments and condos, 83,500 square feet of retail space among eight buildings, and 800 mostly underground parking spaces. The project will also feature new interior streets, a courtyard, extensive landscaping and a park. McGrath, who got permission for ongoing demolition work at the site, said he wants to create a "micro urban mixed-use neighborhood." Aid. Judy Olson, 6th District, who represents the area, said McGrath's willingness to work with residents is paying off. "I think neighbors are pretty happy with it," she said of the general plan.

Although the Gorman and raUiliTireR 4X4 McGrath proposals are the biggest, much more is happening on the corridor. Developer Peter Frautschi is preparing plans for a $23.5 million commercial and parking redevelopment of the mostly vacant, 11.8 acre Kmart property on the 3800 block of 1 East Washington Avenue. Also, the city intends a $1 million renovation of Breese Stevens Field and is in the midst of a $60 million reconstruction of East Washington Avenue from near the Capitol nearly to East Towne Mall." Developer Curt Brink is transforming the old Buy and Sell Shop building, 701 E. Washington into an en RAM 1500 WITH AVAILABLE 5.7LHEMI V8 mm mm mm tertainment venue. And the Urban Open Space Foundation is leading an effort to create a 17 acre Central Park in the railroad corridor between East Washington Avenue and Williamson Street.

"This is just the beginning," McGrath said. "There is a major opportunity to improve the entry to the Capitol Square." Konkel added, "I think it's exciting They're not tearing down existing neighborhoods or important social places. They're finding the appropriate sites."

Even in the case of quakes happening farther out in the Pacific or in Alaska, the U.S.

warning system might not be adequate. The network which consists of six deep-sea instruments in Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii and near the equator off the coast of Peru is thin and scattered, and at least two of the gauges in Alaska are not even reporting daily wave readings. Eddie N. Bernard, who directs the network for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the six sensors are the "bare minimum" for adequate warning. He said there are plans to expand the system to 20 sensors in the next five years.

As for the Atlantic Coast, a tsunami is considered extremely unlikely. Some computer models suggest East Coast cities are vulnerable to a large tsunami if there were a huge volcanic eruption and landslide in the Canary Islands, off northwest Africa. But other researchers say such an event would happen only once in 10,000 years, and such a disruption is unlikely to occur. in Sunbury, the son of Kenneth and Gloria (Anderson) Weir.

Risk Continued from Page A1 tsunami warning system to help. In fact, Atwater said there was a 9.0 earthquake under the Pacific more than 300 years ago that had devastating consequences.

He and other scientists last year reported finding evidence of severe flooding in the Puget Sound area in 1700, including trees that stopped growing after "taking a bath in rising tide waters." The danger rests just 50 miles off the West Coast in a 680-mile undersea fault known as the Cascadia subduction zone that behaves much like one that ruptured off Sumatra. The 1700 quake occurred along the Cascadia fault. Scientists say a giant rupture along the fault would cause the sea floor to bounce 20 feet or more, setting off powerful ocean waves relatively close to shore. The first waves could hit coastal communities in 30 minutes or less, according to computer models. Seattle; Vancouver, British Columbia; and other big cities in the region probably would be relatively protected from deadly flooding because of their inland locations.

But other, smaller communities could be devastated. Obituaries Continued from pageA8 The enormity of his scientific endeavors are evidenced by his ability to publish more than 350 papers in top scientific journals, including Science and Nature.
