A mannequin is surrounded by smoke and sparks after an illegal explosive device was discharged Tuesday in a demonstration at the Renton fire station on Lind Avenue to show the danger of such devices. Fireworks are illegal in Renton, but their use and danger still remain. Fireworks tips and more photographs of the demonstration are on pages 10 and 11. dean a. radford, Renton Reporter

Renton is entering the peak period of its water use – summer – with the assurances the city can meet the demand for water.
But that doesn’t mean that residents and businesses, or the city, should water those lawns at will. It’s just the opposite. The City of Renton has stepped up its water-conservation message under a new agreement with
Seattle Public Utilities that will ensure the city will have the water to meet short-term needs and to meet growth demands for the next 50 years. The special section inside today’s Renton Reporter, Conservation

Three Renton pastors endorse legalizing marijuana By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Three Renton-area, African American pastors have given their endorsement to legalizing, taxing and regulating marijuana for adults. The Rev. Leslie Braxton of New Beginnings Christian Fellowship, Rev. Carl Livingston of Kingdom Christian Center and Rev. Steve E. Baber of Skyway United Methodist Church announced their support of Initiative 502 mid-June. Staff from the “Yes on I-502” campaign approached the pastors, because some knew the pastors were outspoken on issues related to legalizing marijuana. The pastors all agree that the criminalization of the drug has contributed to the disproportionally high numbers of incarcerated African Americans and other minorities. “It’s no longer enough to say the War on Drugs has been a failure,” said Braxton in a press release. “We have to recognize that it has done damage, especially to black Americans, and we have to change course. “Marijuana law enforcement has become a pretext for pushing people into the criminal-justice system where they get
branded with criminal records that turn them into second-class citizens facing additional barriers to education and employment.” The pastors are trying Rev. Carl Livingston to inform their congregations on this issue. Livingston has tried to educate his members – about 70 who attend his church – with information for and against I-502, but with more information in support of the measure. So far, he has not received any negative feedback from his congregation because of his endorsement. Livingston bases his support on studies that go back to the Nixon administration that say marijuana is no more a health risk than cigarettes and drinking whiskey. “Although, I consider cigarettes and heavy drinking of alcohol to be spiritual, medical and economic ills,” he said. “It does not mean that I feel that as a matter of policy that society should criminalize (marijuana).” Not enough attention has been paid to the findings of authors and scholars on the subject of high incarceration rates, Livings-

ton said. He cites author Michelle Alexander’s book, “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness,” as proof the evidence is out there. The I-502 campaign states in its literature that “In Washington, an African American adult is three times as likely as a white person to be arrested for marijuana possession, three times as likely to be charged, and three times as likely to be convicted, despite the fact that white Washingtonians use marijuana at a slightly higher rate.” In March 2011 a Seattle task force released a “Preliminary Report on Race and Washington’s Criminal Justice System” that points to the same occurrence. Livingston references these sources to say that while the state prides itself on being inclusive, it is one of the worst when it comes to the number of incarcerated African Americans. A different approach must be taken with
people who use marijuana, said Baber. “It’s better to work with people who have these kinds of issues than criminalize (marijuana),” he said. Baber has a congregation just under 100 members but has not received any feedback from them on his endorsement. He acknowledges that not all pastors agree on this subject. The Rev. Dr. Linda Smith of SKY Urban Empowerment and Transformation Center is also African American, but shares a slightly different opinion on the issue. While she does not oppose her colleagues’ endorsement of I-502, she said she doesn’t feel legalizing, taxing and regulating marijuana for adults will change the underlying issues affecting the African American community. “Because employers will still have the right to drug test, and police will still be able to arrest based on being under the influence and children will still be exposed to drug use in the home,” she wrote in an email. “Therefore, the problem especially in the African American community remains, which is at a much deeper moral and spiritual level.” Voters will get to decide Nov. 6, when I-502 appears on the general election ballot.

5-year-old nearly drowns; is fence answer? By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Ellie Widmer, at right, stands next to the pond with her brothers, from left, Anthony and Jackson, and her mother Sue Widmer, where she nearly drowned last week near the patch of water weeds in the left part of the photograph. Dean A. Radford, Renton Reporter Peternell is concerned that any changes in the regulations could come too late. “If there is an unfenced pond and it’s a hot day, a child could die,” Peternell said. Peternell doesn’t normally walk over to the pond. But this day, Thursday, June 21, she had a feeling that she needed to go there now. She figures it took about a minute to walk to the pond. She saw Anthony going under the water. He popped up, then went under again. Where’s Ellie? she asked Jackson. Ellie is under the water and Anthony is trying to save her was the answer. It took her about 30 seconds to figure out what was going on. Peternell ran into the pond, which is about 5 feet deep. She lifted up Anthony. “Thankfully, he was holding onto Ellie,” she said. This week, Anthony described how he held onto Ellie, pointing to a patch of weeds several feet out in the pond. His head was
right under her chin. He yelled for help, but his brother didn’t understand him. “She got heavier and heavier and heavier,” he said. Widmer said Ellie weighs about 68 pounds. Anthony told his mother later that he held on so tight because he couldn’t imagine life without his little sister. Ellie had been under water for at least a minute or two. Three boys were watching from the bank, including one who had dared Ellie to go into the pond to fetch a ball. “I remember looking down and seeing her hair floating under the water,” Peternell said. “I didn’t know whether she would be alive or not when I pulled her out. I didn’t know.” She pulled up Anthony and he pulled on Ellie, who immediately popped to the surface. Ellie was unconscious, her eyes were rolling into her head. Holding both kids, Peternell smacked Ellie on the back. “I really didn’t know to do

Two days into summer, as measured by the last day of school, it was sunny and warm, about 75 degrees. Can you come out and play? Sue and Glenn Widmer’s three kids were asked by some neighbor friends, a routine request. Ellie, Anthony and Jackson were on their way, with admonitions from Mom: Don’t go near the pond. Look both ways. Stay together as a group. And look after your sister. The kids played air hockey in the garage and played at the small park next to the pond, checking in every few minutes. Then Widmer noticed they weren’t coming in. She decided to finish what she was doing, then check on them. She heard a knock on the front door. Standing there were her neighbor Jansy Peternell and Ellie and Anthony, dripping wet. “They looked like they had gotten out of the shower and hadn’t toweled off,” Widmer said. Soon, Widmer would learn that Ellie, her 5-year-old daughter, nearly drowned in a detention pond near their east Renton home. She survived because 8-year-old Anthony was able to hold onto Ellie, even though she got heavier as she lost consciousness, and Peternell sensed there was something wrong at the pond across the street from her house. All was quiet; she had heard no cry for help. Now the neighborhood of 23 homes is trying to convince the City of Renton to build a fence around the detention pond. Peternell has lived with her family in the neighborhood since 2006, one of the original homeowners. The neighborhood was in unincorporated King County then. The banks of the pond weren’t steep enough to require fencing under county regulations. For the past several weeks, the City of Renton has been reviewing its own regulations regarding stormwater ponds. Fencing the pond is a possibility.
that. I just did it,” she said. Ellie started coughing. Peternell carried both kids to the bank. She could barely touch the bottom of the pond. By now Ellie was crying. They ran to Widmer’s front door. Peternell told Widmer that one of her kids almost died. Peternell had yelled for one of the boys to call 911, but he panicked and didn’t. Widmer didn’t realize immediately the seriousness of what happened, but she soon did. Widmer decided to take Ellie to their pediatrician after Peternell told her Ellie had swallowed a lot of what Widmer called “disgusting water.” On the way, she called Peternell to thank her. Peternell was concerned because Ellie had lost consciousness and had been under water. That’s when she realized that Ellie had nearly died. Her pediatrician told her she probably should have called 911. The doctor checked Ellie’s lungs and vitals. She was fine. Ellie also had an X ray at Children’s Hospital and was observed there. City spokeswoman Preeti Shridhar said this week that public works officials have looked at the pond. City code also doesn’t require a fence around the pond, because the banks aren’t steep enough to warrant one. Most of the city’s stormwater ponds are steep enough to require fencing. The city has 101 surface-water ponds, she said. There are 55 retention ponds of this type that are fenced. Fifteen are not fenced; they are the ones that have annexed into the city. The city is now considering the recommendations of the review of the ponds. A capital request could be made to pay for fencing. Shridhar pointed out that there are hundreds of such ponds in the county and not all of them are fenced. “We want people to be safe,” she said. It’s important for parents to keep their children safe around water, she said. She pointed out that 911 wasn’t called, something people should do when there is an accident or potential drowning.

Wizards of the Coast brings a bit of Magic to Renton By ADAM McFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
Dungeons, and dragons, and Magic! Oh, my! To outsiders, Wizards of the Coast might seem a mystery. To fans, it’s a standard of the gaming industry. To Renton, it’s simply a neighbor. Greg Leeds took over as president of Wizards of the Coast in 2008, after working for Hasbro, Wizards’ parent company, for six years. In an email interview, Leeds talked about the importance of Renton’s location to the company. “In my personal experience, the city of Renton is very well run and makes our location an ideal place to do business,” he said. “Our employees are generally very happy with the location and that is an important factor for our success.” Peter Adkison founded the company in 1990, and Wizards’ first big splash into the gaming industry came in 1993 with Magic: The Gathering. Magic, a collectible card game, was a hit immediately. It lofted the company from a handful of employees in 1993 to 250 in 1995. It continues to have a huge following today with more than 10 million players. The company acquired another big-name game in Dungeons & Dragons after purchasing TSR in 1997. Wizards also started producing the Pokemon trading
Greg Leeds is president of Wizards of the Coast, located in south Renton. wizards of the coast card game in 1999. The game sold nearly 400,000 copies in less than six weeks and Wizards produced the game until 2003, when Nintendo took over. Those big-name games helped position Wizards as a leader in the field of gaming. Leeds talked about the company’s biggest ongoing challenge: enhancing products for current fans while drawing in new ones. Wizards’ most successful games
tend to cater to more serious gamers, meaning it can be tough to bring in new users. “Luckily, we have found ways to offer experiences that appeal to established fans and bring in new fans,” Leeds said. One example he cited is Magic’s Duels of the Planeswalkers video game. He said it’s a good intro for new players as well as a more casual playing experience for more
entrenched players. Leeds said that while the games have their trends in audience (Magic customers tend to be young adult males, while D&D skews a little older and is more balanced between male and female), the typical gamer isn’t so easy to nail down. “Our fans often belie stereotypes,” he said. “What sets them apart is a love of great game experi-

ences and a desire to share those experiences with a strong global community of enthusiasts.” Located in south Renton on Lind Avenue, Wizards now employs more than 300 people. Leeds said it’s a dynamic work environment, and one where gaming is front and center. “The creativity associated with developing games is a cornerstone of company culture,” he said. “There are frequent formal and informal testing sessions. We even have former employees come back at night to enjoy gaming with the old gang.” Leeds and the employees also have to take on their role as a leader in the gaming industry seriously. Beyond the health of itself, Wizards is concerned with the financial health of the hobby game industry as a whole. They also try hard to promote the industry, rather than the company specifically. “We want to grow the entertainment pie, not fight for shares,” Leeds said. “As an industry, our competition is not each other but the entire entertainment/leisure business.” As for what’s ahead, Leeds said adding local talent is vital and a focus for the company. “Our business is growing and requires more and more talent particularly in the digital and creative areas of the business for us to be successful in the long run,” he said.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
“In my personal experience, the city of Renton is very well run and makes our location an ideal place to do business,“ Greg Leeds, president of Wizards of the Coast
Renton LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Arguments against library relocation more of same old themes As a longtime Renton, resident I find the arguments against the relocation of the library a continuation of the same old tired themes that have restricted Renton’s development for the past 40 years. In the 1970s when the city purchased the golf course, people were outraged. There were claims that the city could not afford it. Today I think that most city residents would have a hard time envisioning Renton without the golf course. In hindsight the city made a very responsible move which helped to improve the image and the quality of life in Renton. In the 1990s when the city was out of compliance with its jails and proposed moving the City Hall to its current location, residents were again outraged. Today the move is seen as having been shrewd and financially responsible and today most city residents would have a hard time envisioning the city in its old City Hall. When the old city pool was leaking and outdated, the city proposed building the aqua center and again residents were outraged. Today the center is financially secure and I believe that most city residents see the aqua center as an overall improvement to the quality of life in Renton. Today we need a modern library (it was clearly stated in the voter’s material that new libraries were needed when voters agreed to join the King County Library System) and again residents are outraged. Well the new site has better parking, better public transportation access, and costs less than renovating the existing structure and will result in a structure that is built to the specifications and needs of our new library system. Being adjacent to the Piazza it would help to revitalize the downtown core. Some people have raised the issue of crime but thousands of people from all across the city feel safe enough to attend the Farmers Market every week. If city residents are safe to attend the Farmers Market, why would they not be safe to go to the new library? I believe that just like the golf course, City Hall and aqua center, a new attractive library adjacent to the Piazza will help to improve the image and overall quality of life in Renton. It is my hope that the majority of city residents will be able to recognize that the potential gain for the city far exceeds the initial concerns.

Fast response, great job by RPD The other morning I was awaken by a call from the alarm company servicing our business property. I was told the alarm had been tripped and did I want the police notified. Since our business has been broken into previously, I said yes. I live two miles from the property and was there within minutes. When I arrived, there were already three Renton
city police officers on-site checking out the grounds. A boat and trailer had been recently moved off-site and the officers even knew to ask about them. Great job Renton city police! Thanks from the community!

Bergquist’s education, economic knowledge make him the pick I am writing to express my support for Steve Bergquist’s campaign for the 11th District’s state representative. Steve’s campaign needs no more acclaim with the huge turnout of support he’s received but I want to explain why my former high school teacher’s bid for office has me so excited. Beyond his deep roots in the Renton community, his dedication to education and his economic knowledge as a small business owner, the thing that most makes him a qualified candidate to me is his passion for the people he serves. With such hard economic times we need a representative who understands the common citizen’s issues and can make decisions that benefit the future of our district. Steve was a great teacher and I have no doubt he will make a great representative. He will make time to listen to the issues, persist in getting the 11th a strong voice in Olympia and act with commitment and honesty. Please consider voting for the man behind the success of many of his students.

Many reasons to go with downtown library location at the Piazza Join me in voting for the new downtown library located west of the Piazza. There is no argument from me that the building over the Cedar River is unique and special to the City of Renton. It is a very special building with many needs and possibilities.
This building should be repurposed for the City of Renton residents. 1. Allows a building to be made that will fit the needs of library users, not the users fit the building. 2. Reduces the possibility of damage while updating the Cedar River building to the present code. a. Depending on the amount of work required for a certain project is the deciding factor if the building remains in its 1966 state-ofthe art condition or if it has to be brought up to the present date building codes. Updating this building to a 2012 state-of-the art building will require updating to the present code. b. Any reconstruction can be more difficult with unknown consequences than a new building. 3. Allows usage of a full-service library during construction of a new library building. a. Cuts out the need and cost for a temporary library during reconstruction. 4. The smaller size makes sense: a. The Service Center in Issaquah provides support operations for the entire KCLS library branches, including Renton, and there is additional long-term storage at the Preston site. b. The library branch in the Highlands has seen increased usage since its hours were increased and with a larger residential area will again see a raise in usage with the 2 1/2 times increase in size, while it is likely that the downtown library will see a decrease in usage, because of the increase in size to the Highlands branch. c. With a new smaller building it will provide better sight lines inside the building that will assist in reducing unsavory activity and make it more desirable for usage. 5. Makes the building over the Cedar River available for any usage that the city desires. This building, if kept as a library, would be under the control of KCLS and even something as simple as posting the winner of the rubber duck race on the front door of this building would not be a possibility.

Conner previously VP of Supply Chain Management and Operations MAX in Renton that will keep thousands of aerospace workers employed in Renton and throughout the region for many years. "We look forward to working with him and his team and continuing to build on the strong partnership that we have with The Boeing Co.," Law said. Boeing has been in Renton for 70 years, building the 707, the first commercial jetliner, and the 737, the world's most-popular airplane, at its production plant. "We are extremely proud of our history with Boeing and we are working hard to ensure its continued success," Law said. Law also thanked Albaugh for his years of service to Boeing and the aerospace industry. “It was under Mr. Albaugh’s leadership that historic agreements were made resulting in a significantly strengthened aerospace industry across Washington state, including continued historic 737 production in Renton,” he said. In making the announcement, McNerney said Conner's "breadth and depth of experience in commercial airplanes is unmatched
in our industry." "He has built airplanes, sold airplanes, serviced airplanes, managed our largest programs, knows our customers extremely well, and is respected by our employees. He is the natural next leader of our growing commercial airplanes business and this move is consistent with our executive succession plan." According to the company press release, prior to leading global Sales and Customer Support, Conner served as vice president of Supply Chain Management and Operations, where he was responsible for business conducted with thousands of global suppliers, as well as the performance of the company's in-house manufacturing, quality, fabrication and propulsion systems divisions. This assignment included overseeing development of Boeing's new production and assembly facilities in South Carolina, according to the press release. Among many other leadership roles held during his career, Conner also served as vice president and general manager of the 777 and 747 programs, and vice president of sales
for the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions. Last year, he played a lead role in negotiating a landmark, four-year contract extension with Boeing's largest union. Conner joined Boeing in 1977 as a mechanic on the 727 program. Gov. Chris Gregoire Tuesday called Albaugh "one of the finest chief executive officers in the nation, and one I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know well. "His departure is a huge loss to Boeing, and the men and women that make up the company. Under his leadership, Boeing has achieved historic success – including record sales, increased production rates, a landmark labor agreement, and the landing of the U.S. Air Force refueling tanker. We should all be proud of his work and his accomplishments." And, in a press release Gregoire said she welcomes Conner as the new president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Ray has spent his career at Boeing, and knows every aspect of the company. He will be a tremendous asset in this role. I hope to see him at the Farnborough Air Show next

month and look forward to working with him in the future," she said. Albaugh joined Boeing in 1975 in what was then Rockwell Corporation's defense and space business, which Boeing acquired in 1996. During his career, he served as president of Rocketdyne Propulsion & Power, president and CEO of Boeing Space and Communications, and president and CEO of Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. Albaugh will continue to report to McNerney while assisting with the transition to Conner until the effective date of his retirement. "We thank Jim for his many years of service in our defense, space and security businesses and, most recently, to Boeing Commercial Airplanes where he helped ensure the certification and successful entry into service of the 787 Dreamliner and 7478, and the launch of the 737 MAX," said McNerney. The leadership change is effective immediately. A replacement for Conner will be named later, according to the company.

About nine students got into a fight in front of Lindbergh High School, disrupting traffic and damaging a vehicle on June 13. Police arrived at about 2 p.m. and the students and crowd dispersed once they arrived. One student captured the fight on a cell phone and the police reviewed the footage. Police observed a group of mostly male students and a couple of female students as well, engaged in the fight. The fight began with two students throwing punches at each other and one tackled the other into the side of a nearby vehicle. Security from the school tried to intervene, but the fight got larger, with more students striking each other. Five vehicles stopped as the fight was obstructing traffic.

Man robbed of rifle, drugs A Renton man was robbed of his rifle and prescription drugs on June 15. The 47-year-old man had parked his vehicle in the 15400 block of Southeast 155th Place and sometime between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., someone stole items from it. The man left his vehicle unlocked and the suspect got into the trunk and took his .22 caliber rifle with a highpowered scope. The suspect also made off with a bottle of Percocet, which was prescribed to the man. Together, both are worth about $350.
Road-rage incident Two Renton men were involved in a road-rage incident on June 15. The incident occurred just before 8:40 p.m., near the 1100 block of Edmonds Avenue Northeast. A 30-year-old man was driving his 2006 BMW when he noticed a 46-year-old man driving a Mercury mini van and frantically waving his arms at him. The two eventually pulled over and had a heated verbal argument, which ended with the 30-year-old driving off. The 46-year-old told police he was injured by the side mirror of the other car, when the driver took off. Police noticed the man had injuries confirming his story. The case was forwarded to city prosecutors for possible
filing of charges.
Threat to homeless man Someone pulled a gun on a jay-walking homeless man on June 16. Police were called to a report of a threat with a weapon at 361 Rainier Ave. S. at about 2:15 p.m. There they found a 35-year-old man, who appeared intoxicated and possibly homeless. The man told police that he was jay-walking across the street in front of a car, when the driver followed him in his car into a nearby parking lot. The driver apparently told the man he was going to kill him and pulled out a black handgun. Police could not get a clear description of the suspect as the man’s story kept changing.
Neighborhood tagged with graffiti A Renton neighborhood was targeted with graffiti on June 17. Police responded to the 800 block of Dayton Avenue Northeast at 11:31 a.m. after receiving reports of illegal spray-painting. A 46-year-old woman reported her garage was tagged with spray paint as well as numerous fences and other garages in her neighborhood. Police discovered 18 locations on the block where names had been spray painted. All of the sites where photographed for evidence. Tracey Compton can be reached at 425-255-3484

Renton will use water from Seattle’s supply when needed [ conservation from page 1 ] affordable water sources, in order to meet population growth expectations, is a major challenge for many cities,” said Mayor Denis Law. “Having this 50-year agreement with SPU assures that Renton will have all the water we need to meet our future growth projections.” Today, Renton gets its water from cityowned wells that tap into the city’s aquifer, a large underground pool of water that’s constantly recharged naturally but also drawn down by human use. The city has mandated limits how much water it can withdraw from the aquifer, for a peak use such as on a hot summer day or for an entire year. These are the city’s water rights. The city also knows it doesn’t have enough rights to provide water for all the residences and businesses that will exist in the city at full buildout under today’s zoning. Buildout is forecast to happen around 2028. Under the agreement with Seattle, which was effective Jan. 1, Renton will buy as
much water as needed “The more water from Seattle, using we can leave in interties between the streams, the better Seattle and Renton stewards we are of water systems. Previ- the water, the more ously, Renton had a it is available for water-supply agreeothers to use.” Lys ment with Seattle, but Hornsby that was for limited supplies during emergencies or as backup. “Seattle supply basically completes the city’s needs,” said Lys Hornsby, the City of Renton’s utilities systems director. “With time, we will start using that supply.” But, first, Renton would prefer “to optimize and maximize” its own source of water, said Hornsby, through a waterconservation program. The issue is the cost of the water. “It’s cheaper for use to use our own water,” said Hornsby, due to the higher cost of buying water wholesale from Seattle. The City of Renton could have sought
out another water supply, but a new supply would be more expensive to develop than buying from Seattle’s existing supply, she said. Using Seattle water when needed “is the best deal for us,” she said. Whether Renton will need to use Seattle water this summer to water lawns depends on the weather, which is variable and makes the water use variable. But staying within the city’s well water right is easier to manage, knowing the Seattle water is available, she said. Right now, the city’s water supply is “sitting pretty,” she said, but there hasn’t been any hot weather. As part of the SPU agreement, the City of Renton is now part of a partnership that regionally is promoting water conservation. “The more water we can leave in the
streams, the better stewards we are of the water, the more it is available for others to use,” Hornsby said. The agreement with SPU doesn’t require that Renton conserve water, which is mandated under other regulations, she said. The city sets its own water-savings goals. The city doesn’t talk in terms of having a family of four, say, cut its water use by 300 gallons a year. Instead, the city is educating residents and businesses about how to conserve water, through product-labeling programs such as WaterSense or buying products such as washing machines and toilets that use less water. Rebates are available for many of those products. “We know those save a lot of water,” Hornsby said, which the resident does automatically.

Possessing or setting off fireworks in Renton to celebrate the Fourth of July is illegal. Fireworks were banned in Renton in May 2005 and since then, the city has seen a continuing decrease in fireworksrelated fires and injuries, says Renton Fire Chief Mark Peterson. In 2010 and 2011 there were 1,051 fireworks-related emergency incidents in Washington, resulting in more than $2.6 million in property loss and 373 injuries. With the ban in place, Renton experienced 80 fireworks-related calls and $900 in property loss in 2010 and 2011. Recognizing that some will still use fireworks, the City of Renton will have fire crews patrolling neighborhoods on July 4 on the lookout for illegal fireworks. They’ll be joined by police officers. The City of Renton ban includes the sale, use and possession of any fireworks. Violations can result in criminal and civil citations and fines of $100 to $500. The sale, possession, and use of explosive devices such as M-80s, M-100s, and homemade or modified fireworks are a felony offense and violators will face criminal prosecution. To report violators, call 911. Peterson’s suggestion is to leave fireworks to the pro[ more fireworks page 11 ]

Laws about fireworks vary by city [ fireworks from page 10 ] fessionals and go to the citywide fireworks show next Wednesday at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park on Lake Washington. Tuesday, the state fire marshal came to Renton to give a demonstration why the improper use of legal fireworks and the flat-out use of illegal explosive devices can kill or maim or set a house on fire. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives used illegal fireworks standing alone or attached to a dummy or plywood to show the damage they can cause. Little was left of the dummy that first lost a hand, then in the demonstration’s finale was blown up by an illegal firework attached to her ankle. Fire Marshal Charles Duffy, a former deputy fire chief in Renton, used the demonstration to urge the public to follow local laws governing fireworks use and to use them safely. Laws governing fireworks use vary by city or county. “The key to using fireworks safely is to follow the directions on the package,” he said. “It sounds simple, but that is really truly what you need to do if you are going to celebrate safely on the Fourth of July.” Duffy and others at the media event Tuesday offered several tips: • Supervision of kids 14 and under is critical in reducing emergency responses to fireworks incidents. • Talk to kids about fireworks and safety. • Set family boundaries, only adults should light fireworks. • Store fireworks in a secure location, out of the reach and sight of curious children. • Personal fireworks require personal responsibility. • Be Prepared – Have water nearby and put pets indoors. • Be Safe – Only adults should light fireworks. • Be Responsible – Clean up fireworks debris. Duffy has presented the same safety message for several years. Cheryl Bishop, an ATF special agent, explained why. “Because every year it’s not the same family, it’s not the same friends that I guarantee you are going to be impacted by illegal fireworks or the improper use of legal fireworks.”

Many live music acts are scheduled for the Fourth of July celebration, including R&B group Oncore. This is the group’s third appearance at the event. submitted
via email. “I think that is what this holiday is about: coming together as one. We feel blessed to be a part of such a wonderful celebration.” Oncore has been together since 2006 and its members have performed at venues worldwide, including Japan, France, Italy, Mexico and Canada, as well as across the United States. “Our hope is that you won’t be able to contain yourself when we play,” said Ferguson. “We want to see you dance, bop your head, clap your hands, and smile.” Oncore will perform right up until a half hour before the fireworks are set to go off at 10 p.m. The fireworks show should last about 20 minutes, said Mejlaender, and there will be music timed to the show. Mejlaender has heard mention of a possible Olympics theme for the music, but she wasn’t certain on the final details this week. Those seated in the galleria area, next to Kid Valley restaurant, should be able to hear the music coming from the entertainment
stage. Many people will also view the fireworks from boats, canoes, kayaks and surrounding neighborhoods. About 15 to 20 volunteers will assist the dozens of City of Renton staff, police and fire and emergency services crews during the course of the day. More than five City of Renton departments will be represented in event staff for the Fourth of July celebration at the park. Some of the same staff, including the Lindbergh High School Key Club, will be at the park early the next morning to make sure that it is “pristine” by 10 a.m., said Mejlaender. Attendees to the festivities should be aware parking is limited at the park and is not permitted along Lake Washington Boulevard. However, parking is available on Houser Way North, on the top two floors of the parking garage at The Landing and the parking lot located at North Eighth Street, Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North. There is no event shuttle service.

...obituaries John Paul Phillip Dunkel
John Paul Phillip Dunkel passed away in his sleep of a heart attack on June 3, 2012 at his home. He was born Nov. 10, 1968 in Seattle, WA to John and Rose Dunkel. He was cherished by his family and friends his entire life. He had his own roof cleaning business for years and then worked in the underground utility construction field as a pipe layer. His real passions in life were his family, hunting, fishing, motorcycles and helping anyone in need. He is survived by his wife, Dionne, children Elyssa Raaum: son Austin; and stepsons Jeremiah and Dylan. He is dearly missed by his parents John and Rose; brother Joe Dunkel; sisters Denise Bone and Sharon Bolding (Kevin); grandmother Violet Dunkel; nephews William, Daniel and Michael; niece Sammy and a large extended family. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, William and Sara Bourgault and John Dunkel. A Mass of Christian Burial was held on June 14, 2012 at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church.

Do baby teeth really matter?
Affordable Wills
YES – they matter a lot! Decayed or decaying baby teeth can potentially represent active infection in the mouth. Anytime there is infection in the body or mouth, it requires immediate attention by a physician or dentist, respectively. Long term, if baby teeth are left to rot, fall out, or get extracted, there is greater potential for permanent teeth to grow in and shift requiring future orthodontic care.

King County to help return pets scared off by fireworks The Fourth of July is coming up, and that means shelters like the King County Pet Adoption Center will soon be filled with pets that ran away after being scared by fireworks. Again this year, Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) will team up with Missing Pet Partnership to train volunteers for “Mission Reunite: Help and Hope for Lost Pets.” The trained volunteers will assist owners looking for their pets after the holiday. A training session is set for Saturday, June 30, from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. at the Pet Adoption Center, 21615 64th Ave. S., in Kent. During the training, volunteers will learn how to give strategic advice to pet owners whose cat or dog is missing, and how to show pet owners the tools they can use to aid in the search. “We’re excited to once again join with Missing Pet Partnership to offer this valuable training,” said RASKC volunteer program manager Sarah Luthens. “And while Mission Reunite will help bring lost pets back together their owners, it’s also important for people to license and microchip their cat or dog.
A pet that is licensed and microchipped has a much better chance of being reunited with its owner.” “The ‘return to owner’ rate for lost pets at animal shelters across the country is low, but the Mission Reunite program can help our lost pets in King County get back together with their families,” said RASKC manager Gene Mueller. “This exciting program has proven very successful in reuniting owners and their stray pets, but we need volunteers to help continue that success.” Missing Pet Partnership was founded in 2001 by Kat Albrecht, a former police detective-turned-pet detective. Albrecht made her entrance into pet detective work back in 1997 after she used a search-andrescue dog to track down her missing police bloodhound. Since then, Albrecht has successfully trained a number of search dogs and volunteer pet detectives to search for lost pets. For more information, or to register for Mission Reunite, or any other RASKC volunteer opportunity, contact Sarah Luthens at sarah.luthens@kingcounty. gov or 206-296-3946.
