The 11th successful season of Renton’s Farmers Market comes to a close next Tuesday at the Piazza. Valria Lopez, market coordinator, called this past farmers market season “fantastic.” “The beginning of the season was a little cool, but it’s been just gorgeous and the crowds have been wonderful, lots of vendors,” Lopez said.
One last Farmers Market The final day for this year’s Renton Farmers Market is 3 p.m.-7 p.m. Tuesday at the Piazza at Third Street and Burnett Avenue in downtown Renton. A Terrible Beauty is providing the final Taste of Renton.
“It’s been a really good year at both markets.” The Farmers Market at Valley Medical Center concluded last Sunday,

Renton, KCLS officials express commitment to build new library over the Cedar River By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
The Renton City Council established its commitment to renovating the downtown library over the Cedar River and adopted guiding principles for the city’s relationship with the King County Library System. The council unanimously adopted nine principles presented in the Committee of the Whole meeting during its regular session Monday night. Then Tuesday night about 50 people attended the first open house at which they will have the chance to ask questions about the development of the city’s two new libraries and help guide the process. Peter Renner, the city’s facilities director, and Chip Vincent, the community and economic development administrator, Monday night took turns laying out the City of Renton’s stance on the interlocal agreement with KCLS, the budget for the libraries, design process and citizen communications for the Cedar River library and the new Highlands branch. “We discussed ideas of establishing some parameters that at a very high level provide general guidance for the council, community and the staff as we advance the two libraries here for the City of Renton,” said Vincent.
Sept. 17. The markets have increased in popularity with vendors and a wait list for selling stalls developed, Lopez said. This market season also brought lots of berries to the Renton markets because of the great weather. “The berry vendors are still bringing strawberries, which seem like a really spring thing,” said Lopez. “It’s just been a fabulous year for berries [ more market page 20 ]

Sandra Polley of Renton writes down her idea for the design of the new Cedar River library Tuesday night, during an open house at City Hall attended by about 50 people. Dean a. radford, Renton Reporter The Committee of the Whole meeting featured an extensive briefing on the design of the Cedar River library and the Highlands library and the guiding principles. The guidelines spell out the city’s and KCLS’ commitment to building the libraries once again in the Highlands and now over the Cedar River. Under the guidelines: • The projects will stay within budget.
• KCLS’ leadership in the design and construction role for the libraries is reaffirmed. • Two City of Renton departments will facilitate and support KCLS in design and construction and also obtain the necessary permits for the project. • The city and KCLS will provide open houses and presentations as outlined in the interlocal agreement and receive feedback [ more library page 18 ]
On Sept. 4 Renton resident Joanna Greer made the ill-conceived decision to rob a local bank, seeking escape and treatment in jail for her mental illness. She entered the Key Bank in the Renton Highlands and – unarmed – robbed a teller of almost $1,500. She told police she couldn’t cope with her illness Det. Chris Edwards anymore and preferred to be in jail where “you did not have to do anything there,” according to court documents. Although Greer will now get some treatment for her illness through the justice system, she has been charged with first-degree robbery. Had she committed a misdemeanor crime, her options might have led her to a new treatment facility recently opened in Seattle. [ more intervention page 19 ]

A Regional Approach Produces Efficiencies, Competitive Edge Message from the Chair | John Marchione, Mayor, City of Redmond I’m pleased to announce that Cascade has progressed from its original status as a watershed management partnership, to a municipal corporation. This important step provides Cascade with flexibility to address future challenges as we continue to strive to provide water resources to the region for the future. the change in status was made possible through the recently adopted joint municipal utilities services authority act (JmUsa) that allows more efficient use of public dollars when municipalities and special districts combine to provide essential public services. Legislators saw the benefit and the act gained broad support. JmUsa was adopted in 2011. in July, Cascade became the first municipal corporation in the state to be formed under JmUsa. Our customers, residents and ratepayers will all benefit as a result. A Competitive Edge for Puget Sound | according to a pronouncement made earlier this summer by Cascade and all the major water providers in King, pierce and snohomish counties, the puget sound
region will have enough water for the next 50 years. Better forecasting, wise infrastructure investment by the utilities, and smart use of water by consumers and the utilities means water will be available. this is not only important for us as we turn on the tap at home but it offers the region a tremendous economic advantage as we look out to the future. Unlike in other parts of the country, we can tell business that the region will have enough water to support population and economic growth. We are well positioned here in this region when it comes to the essential necessity of water.
this summer sharing with residents how our members have combined to form Cascade to ensure they have high quality great tasting water today and tomorrow. From local fairs to farmers’ markets and other events, thousands of Cascade area residents stopped by to visit our booths, getting information about Cascade and our water saving ideas. enjoy these last days of summer and the coming of fall—and use our wonderful water wisely!

Renton Ave. closed for repair A sunken stretch of Renton Avenue South was closed and repairs started Monday, sending traffic and Route 106 buses on a temporary detour during three weeks of construction. King County Road Services is scheduled to repair Renton Avenue South between South 128th and South 130th streets, replacing a culvert and rock wall damaged by stormwater in 2010. Construction cones have shifted traffic away from the damaged roadway since 2010. Federal emergency repair funds will pay for the work, which also rebuilds the curb, gutter and sidewalk and repaves the road. Four Route 106 bus stops will temporarily close during construction, replaced by two temporary bus stops – one in the
southeast area of South 130th Street and Renton Avenue South, and one west of 78th Avenue South on Renton Avenue South. A map posted online shows the locations of the detour and closed and temporary bus stops. Resident and business access will be maintained during the construction closure. The construction contract bid was approximately $490,000. The road is expected to reopen to traffic by mid-October. Sidewalk improvements also are planned in coming months on Renton Avenue South between South 75th and South 76th streets using federal and state grants. The finished project will include a new sidewalk, planter strip, parking and a bike lane on the east side of the street.

Lindbergh High School is celebrating its 40th birthday Sept. 27 with a celebration for the whole community. The open house will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and feature refreshments, tours of the school, and alumni gatherings. The current school band, choir, cheer squad and leadership teams will be on hand to support the festivities in spirit with performances. Alumni from Lindbergh’s opening year will be in attendance as well as the first principal, Brian Barker. The school is expecting 200 to 300 guests for the event with the many generations that are promoting the birthday celebration. Some interesting facts about the school’s construction are it was built originally around two “houses,” where home rooms and lockers were located. The first floor is called Washington House and the third floor is Lincoln House. A third unbuilt house was to be named Kennedy House. “House names are still used by many students and staff,” wrote Kayla Sherwood, Lindbergh teacher in an email. “The houses still function as a kind of departmental divide, with Lincoln House containing most of the math department and Washington house containing the English department.” Lindbergh has done some major and minor renovations over the years. The mid-1990s brought a robotics lab, 2006 a new commons area, 2009 an auditorium upgrade and 2010 a new weight room, roofs and window exteriors among other improvements in the following years.

The Renton School Board last week authorized the hiring of Teach for America (TFA) candidates for teaching positions. So far, the Renton School District has hired one U-ACT/TFA candidate of the more than 125 teachers hired this summer. More than 50 people showed up to protest the move at the school board meeting. The group included teachers from the Renton Education Association, as well as teachers from Seattle, Highline, Clover Park and Bellevue who had experience with TFA. They wore "No TFA" labels and more than 10 speakers got up to testify during the public comment period. "I'd say we are dismayed, saddened and beyond disappointed that they have chosen to take this action," said Phyllis Silling, president of the Renton Education Association, after the vote. There was no clear understanding of why the district chose to go this route, she said. "I think it will be an ongoing source of conflict," Silling said. "It certainly changes the way we have worked together. You don't show that kind of disrespect and expect things to return to normal." The school district will now enter into an agreement with Teach For America that allows candidates who enroll in the University of Washington's Accelerated Certification for Teachers (U-ACT) program to apply for teaching positions in the district. Previously the board held a study session to learn about the district's proposal to hire alternative-pathway candidates enrolled in the U-ACT program in partnership with TFA. The TFA program has received its share of criticism in Renton and around the country because it helps to employ professionals who don't have teaching certificates in positions traditionally held by certified staff. The U-ACT program provides these professionals or teacher candidates over the course of a year of study with the core practices, instructional strategies, content knowledge, student engagement techniques, classroom management and other skills associated with being an excellent teacher, a district release stated.

“It’s really been a good year at both markets.“ Valria Lopez, Renton Farmers Market coordinator
City’s libraries in good hands It seems the Cedar River library has a lot of friends in its boat, including the Renton City Council. Monday night the seven council members committed to renovating the iconic library, which, in my view at least, puts to rest any inkling that the Piazza library was still in play. Bill Ptacek, director of the King County Library System, was at the meeting, too. He is eager to get moving on the renovations. Ptacek is keeping an eye on an improving economy that could increase construction costs. And, following the overwhelming public support for keeping the Cedar library expressed in the Aug. 7 vote, the council committed to involving the public in every step of the way through listening and open houses and presentations. What everyone had hoped – that the city and KCLS would work together to design and rebuild the Cedar library within budget – is happening. But the residents’ group, Renton Advocacy Coalition, isn’t resting, just a few short weeks after it formed. Member Beth Asher wanted to know just how the city would include the coalition’s concerns into the design process. Certainly, the citizens’ coalition can’t have a seat where final decisions are made about library design. That’s the job of the elected city leaders and the KCLS trustees. Those elected city leaders have a team of experts who can ensure they are well-informed. But the coalition should have every chance to influence that decision, in discussions and at meetings with city staff and council members. That’s the same access accorded others who have a stake in city business. To be honest, I was a little concerned about the expectations of the coalition. Someone on rentonreporter.com called the group a “shadow government.” Then at the Sept. 10 City Council
I heard Garrett Huffman give his stamp of approval to the wording of revisions to the city’s transportation and parks impact fees. He had a hand in that wording. So I figured that if the government affairs manager in South King County for Master Builders could have a say in something dear to builders, then why shouldn’t ordinary citizens have a similar say in something dear to them, the Cedar River library. This is all about access to policymakers and citizens should always be first in line. Now comes Monday’s City Council meeting, where a number of top city staffers gave council members a detailed briefing on the status of design work for the Cedar library and the equally important new Highlands library. It was a powerful show of expertise. I got the sense that the show was intended, so everyone would know the city has the staff to provide oversight from finances, to engineering, to working with other government agencies on permitting. The point is that there is an important role for everyone in such critical issues.

Our view Treatment, not jail
T
oo often, it seems that those with mental-health issues aren’t getting the support they need nor the understanding they need, especially when they get into trouble. That’s why the Crisis Solution Center and its therapeutic program is such an important alternative to jail or an emergency room. Already, Renton officers and detectives are taking advantage of the training that will help them identify what offenders would benefit from such attention. It is time and city money well spent.

Council members need to ask the tough questions in highly public settings, such as its Monday night meetings, and not just in committee meetings where the audience is often paid to be there. And the public needs to engage enough so it’s satisfied the tough questions were asked by its elected leaders. That is what the Renton Advocacy Coalition is doing; if it’s not satisfied, then it will have to ask those tough questions itself. It is bolstering its arguments and ideas with its own set of experts. In the end it’s the city staff who live and breath the details, often day and night, that will provide the mayor and City Council with the knowledge it needs to make informed decisions. We pay them to provide that information, just like we elect and pay mayor and City Council to make those decisions for us. In any case the downtown library over the Cedar River and the new library in the Highlands are in good hands.

Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound is offering up to $1,000 for information that will lead to an arrest in the homicide of a West Hill man Aug. 19. Minh Phu was celebrating his 22nd birthday with friends at a house on Langston Road just outside the Seattle city limits when he went outside to charge his cell phone in a friend’s car, a green Audi A4. Sometime after 1:35 a.m., sheriff ’s deputies responded Minh Phu to Langston Road to a report of shots fired. When deputies arrived, they discovered Phu shot and sitting in a car. He died at the scene. His family made a plea Wednesday in downtown Seattle for anyone with information about the fatal shooting to step forward. Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Stoppers’ confidential phone number, 1-800-222TIPS. Those with information also can text SPD+ the message to 274637 or submit a tip online at crimestoppers.com.
RTC receives $2M grant for student success Renton Technical College has received a $2 million Title III grant from the U.S. Department of Education to support its “Student Success and Entry Pathway” program. During the five-year grant period, the Student Success and Entry Pathway program will help the college improve new student engagement and success by redesigning student services. There are three main components to the grant supported project: • Implementing a Comprehensive Developmental Advising system that supports intentional student career and academic
planning and implements an early warning systems for intervention when students are struggling academically • Simplifying registration and advising and making the financial aid process easier to understand and access • Establishing clear, consistent assessment and placement protocols that include a precollege quarter for those who need college success, computer literacy, reading, writing or math support to create structures that get more students off to a strong start. Redesigning services so that students receive timely front-end services (e.g., orientation, advis-
ing, financial aid rules, financial literacy, career assessment etc.) will reduce the need for later intervention.

Do baby teeth really matter?
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.

Man charged with vehicular assault says he was drunk By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The blood-alcohol level of a Renton man charged in a high-speed rollover accident last week was more than three times the legal limit at about 10 a.m., according to King County prosecutors. Joseph Lee Meun, 21, was charged in King County Superior Court with two counts of vehicular assault. He posted $5,000 bail on Sept. 8, the day after the accident on South 180th Street near Oakes-
dale Avenue. His arraignment is Sept. 24 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. According to charging documents, Meun told Renton officers at the scene: “I’m not going to lie; yes I am drunk, no bullXXX. I haven’t been no crash.” Meun and his two passengers were trapped inside the Pontiac Grand Am after it veered off South 180th Street, hit a tree and turned over in a parking lot. Renton fire crews extricated the three from the car. The back-seat passenger was treated for
a broken neck at Valley Medical Center. Surgeons at Harborview Medical Center removed glass embedded in the forearm and forehead of the front-seat passenger. Meun was taken to Valley Medical Center about a mile away, where his blood was drawn for the blood-alcohol test. The result read .298; the legal limit is .08. Meun was arrested at the scene for investigation of vehicular assault. Arriving officers found a half-empty bottle of Jamison whiskey on the ground next to the Grand Am.
He agreed to answer an officer’s questions, according to the charging documents. He told the officer: “I drank a lot. I am the driver, I can’t remember where I was – somewhere in Seattle. I was drinking in Seattle.” After medically cleared at Valley Medical Center, Meun was taken to the SCORE jail in Des Moines. According to prosecutors Meun has a juvenile record, including convictions for vehicle prowl and taking a motor vehicle without permission.
Man stalks woman with artificial birds in front yard The following information was compiled based on City of Renton police reports. By ADAM McFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
A Renton man was warned to make no further contact with a Renton woman after stalking behavior. The 54-year-old woman found a note on her car Aug. 18 that addressed her as “Parrot Lady,” expressed romantic interest, and directed her to a website. The woman owns a parrot and has several bird statuettes in her front yard. The website contained a video of a man punching a punching bag at an LA Fitness. A co-worker told her to not worry and threw the note away. She found another note the next week reiterating romantic interest, including lines like “Cold nights, no lights, long nights you made me smile and held me down.” At this point the woman contacted police. She had noticed a car frequently parked across the street from her house and gave police the license plate number. From the number, police were able to find the 49-year-old Renton man who left the notes. The man has an active Sexual Assault Protection Order against him in Tukwila and is a convicted felon. When police investigated, they found the woman who had the order against him (the two had previously lived together and been in a relationship) was also 54, had a very similar appearance to the second woman, and also had decorative birds in her front yard. There was not probable cause for an arrest, but police warned the man to stay
away from the woman.
Woman denies accident A Seattle woman was arrested for driving under the influence Sept. 3. Police responded to an accident on Rainier Avenue to find the 67-year-old woman in her Toyota Highlander, which had major damage to the front end. The woman was verbally hostile with Fire Department personnel as they tried to treat her. At one point she tried to strike a firefighter. She continued to be difficult and repeatedly denied being in an accident. She finally admitted to drinking some gin, but said she had two drinks the day before. Police arrested the woman for driving under the influence.
Man throws girlfriend, dogs outside A Renton man was cited for domestic assault after he threw his girlfriend on the ground Sept. 6. The 27-year-old Renton man and 24-year-old Issaquah woman had been dating off and on for eight years. They rode in a taxi home from a wedding and fought over who would pay. Once inside their home on 17th Place Northeast, the woman said her boyfriend went “berserk” and told her to leave. She was gathering her things when he threw her to the ground several times before finally throwing her out the front door onto cement steps. The woman told police she had to delay calling 911 because the man also threw her dogs out the front door and she had to

apartment, which was against her rules. She found the son minutes later smoking and drinking a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20. The man pushed his mother against the wall several times, ripped off her shirt and threw a picture causing it to shatter, before leaving the apartment. Police caught up with the man at the 76 station on Puget Drive. Then the man fought with an officer, and at one point reached for the officer’s gun belt, but was unable to grab the weapon. While handcuffed, the man continued to yell obscenities at officers and tried to ram them with his shoulders. In the police car, he repeatedly slammed his head against the partition. The man was arrested and is under investigation for felony assault, domestic assault and malicious mischief.

Renton’s Swiss Family Browne There are 16 windows. Two laying hammocks and one sitting hammock. Two immovable bunks and one that folds down. The “back” tree IS the flagpole - the flag is roughly 40 feet off the ground. There is a captain’s wheel and stairway that goes from the inside to the top promenade where the pirate flag proudly flies as well as the American Flag on the 4th. And a great slide. “How did this all happen?” I asked Curtis and Stephanie from high up on the second floor. “I threw Curtis a surprise 40th birthday party at Treehouse Point in Fall City with four other couples. We stayed in these amazing tree houses,” Stephanie said. From that experience Curtis learned about the “Treehouse Workshop,” a joint venture with Treehouse Point that offers four-day workshops where people come from all over the world to learn how to build tree houses from world reknown, tree house builder and owner Pete Nelson. “That was April 2010,” Curtis said. “Six months later Curtis began building their pirate ship.” The tree house would eventually take a year and a half to finish. And, judging by the size of the beams that held up the structure, it was hard to believe Curtis built it all by himself. “How did you bolt those beams in [ more carolyn page 11 ]

Here is the Browne family of Renton, from top, sitting on the steps to their tree house: Cameron, Kenadi, Andrew, mom Stephanie, dad Curtis and Madison. carolyn ossorio
When I was a kid, my sister and I loved making forts and designing elaborate sketches for our summer plans of living in a tree house on a wild and deserted island. Meanwhile, our dad was busy building a real house on 10 acres of wooded property (roughly the exact size of our deserted island). Our father loved enlisting us as unskilled construction labor . . . if he could find us. The desire to explore the natural world is something kids are born with especially when inspired by classic adventure books and movies like “Pippi Longstocking,” “My Side of the Mountain” and “The Swiss Family Robinson” as I was. These summers spent with my sister in the woods collecting tree sap for glue, rubbing two sticks together in an attempt to make a fire, dragging tree branches and lashing them together a roof that we eventually thatched with ferns are some of my favorite childhood memories. So I was thrilled when I heard
about a local family who had built an “epic” tree house. A tree house unlike any tree house I had ever seen! On a recent Sunday morning the kids and were driving through an east Renton neighborhood looking for what had been described to me as a “tree house unlike any tree house I had ever seen!” “THERE IT IS!” Amelia pointed toward the horizon from the front seat like a pirate spying land from a crow’s nest. Tucked away in a cluster of tall evergreens and perched 30 feet inside the grip of four magnificent Fir trees was a pirate ship complete with a pirate flag flying from the masthead. The Browne family consists of two parents, Curtis and Stephanie, and four children, Kenadi, 13, Madison, 10, Andrew, 6, and Cameron, 11 months. My four kids and I hopped out of the car, introduced ourselves. But our eyes were on the prize. The Brownes, keen to the special place they have created and its consequent effect on people of all ages, understood our need to climb into the two-story, pirate ship tree house. Carolyn Ossorio

Brownes built house to teach about environment, self reliance [ carolyn from page 10 ] to place?” I asked. Pointing to and fro, Curtis explained how he’d done it with a system of scaffolds and pulleys like one imagines Houdini explaining to the layperson how he escaped the straight jacket while hanging upside down over a pit of fire. “The design elements had to “fit” the trees, including location, movement, and growth over the next 100 years. It was also designed such that the platform could be reused/modified to turn into a two-story office/sleeping room as the kids outgrew the ship concept.” Which judging by the playing going on wouldn’t be any time soon. Ty was crawling up and down the stairs Curtis had repurposed from rough split logs that still had the bark outside. On the top floor, 10-year-old Madison had devised a raising and lowering pulley system out of improvised rope and sand bucket and the boys were making a game of filling it with pine cones.
“Is this always how it is when you have guests over?” I asked. Even though our kids had just met, the tree house seemed to provide the space and laid back temperament for instant fun that included everyone. “We built the tree house as a way to teach our kids about the environment and self reliance. Roughly 50 percent of the materials were from recycled decking, free Craigslist finds and trees taken down in our backyard. As well as a gathering place to create friendship and community.” Building the tree house had even helped Curtis overcome his fear of heights. “Before when I’d get on the roof I’d be afraid. Building the tree house helped me “be” with the fear and ultimately overcome it.” According to Pete Nelson’s website, people are building tree houses all over the country from varying sizes with plumbing and electricity. “Nationally, people are living in tree houses as alternate housing. It’s a nascent experience . . . back in time we were in the trees and

And everything I bought was off the shelf, which means no custom tools or supplies, so I could just run down to Dunn Lumber or McLendon’s,” Curtis said. “The Swiss Family Robinson” was an adventure novel published in 1812 by Johan David Wyss
about a Swiss family shipwrecked. Apparently, Wyss wrote the book, “to teach his four sons about family values, good husbandry, the uses of the natural world and self-reliance.” 200 years have passed and it seems the Brownes are creating a similar adventure for their kids
and community in the form of a backyard pirate ship tree house.

A. With the advent of modern synthetic oils, many car companies have extended oil change recommendation intervals much longer than the 3 months, 3,000 mile mantra that we’ve all grown up hearing. Dealerships are extending oil changes to 7,500, 10,000, and in some cases, 15,000 miles between changes. This may sound extreme to you, and it should! As these intervals are extending, the oil filters are, in some cases, shrinking! This means that less filter is doing more work for a much longer time. This leads to dirty oil and eventually, sludge buildup in the engine. The simple defense against this is to change your oil more BMW engine out of a 2002 frequently. You may ask, “Don’t the 530i with approximately 85,000 people who build the cars know miles. Note the excessive sludge better?” It’s a great question, but build up. unfortunately the engineers aren’t the ones who decide this for the manufacturers. As companies have begun providing “free” maintenance and oil changes for new car buyers, they have reduced their costs by reducing how many oil changes Same engine with proper they’ll have to perform under that maintenance intervals. maintenance period. This is borne out by the class action lawsuits that have been brought against major manufacturers such as Toyota and Volkswagen / Audi. Oil sludge is dangerous because it prevents the oil from lubricating and cooling the sensitive parts of your engine, and will lead to premature failure in the long run, and poor mileage and oil consumption in the short run.
and vision examinations are an important part of preventive health care. Many eye and vision problems have no obvious signs or symptoms. As a result, individuals are often unaware that problems exist. Early diagnosis and treatment of eye and vision problems are important for maintaining good vision and eye health, and when possible, preventing vision loss. A comprehensive adult eye and vision examination may include checks for many systemic diseases including, but not limited too, high blood pressure, Diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis. The sooner you receive treatment for an eye or vision problem, the less likely you are to suffer complications. Schedule your appointment today.

1. Almost any problem involving the eye should be seen right away. Glaucoma, corneal ulcers, and foreign bodies beneath the eyelids are very serious and may lead to permanent blindness. 2. Profuse vomiting is another sign that needs immediate attention. It does not take very long for a pet, particularly a small one to become dangerously dehydrated. 3. Difficulty breathing is also a problem that should not wait. Difficulty breathing may be a severe cough, but more commonly it is exaggerated effort in breathing, with pets often using their abdominal muscles to help them breathe. 4. If there is active hemorrhage, of course, the pet needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away. If there are just a few drops of blood from a minor wound, it is probably OK to wait for your regular veterinarian. 5. If your pet has its first seizure, particularly if it lasts more that a couple of minutes, should be examined immediately. 6. If your pet ingests a toxin, particularly antifreeze, they should be taken to the emergency hospital as soon as possible. The doctor may induce vomiting to try to eliminate the absorption of the toxin, so time is important. 7. If your pet is pregnant, and is having difficulty having the babies, it should see the emergency veterinarian. If sever, this problem may require an emergency caesarean section. Of course, there are many other problems that pets can have. If you need advice on whether your pet’s symptoms should have immediate attention, call your Veterinarian or the local Emergency Hospital for advice. They will be happy to discuss your pet and their problem.

Lindbergh High School will host free youth heart screenings in October in the hopes of preventing sudden cardiac arrest. Called a “Nick of Time” event, the screenings will be available from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 3 at Lindbergh, 16426 128th Ave. S.E., Renton. The heart screenings are available to youth between the ages of 14 and 24 years old and participants don’t have to be enrolled at the school. Lindbergh is hosting the event in partnership with the Nick of Time Foundation, which was created in memory of Nick Varrenti. Varrenti was a multi-sport athlete who suf-
fered a cardiac arrest and died at age 16. “This year I jumped at the opportunity to host, because as a high school junior, I lost a cross-country teammate after she collapsed and died from sudden cardiac death following a meet,” wrote Keith Hennig, Lindbergh assistant principal and athletic director, in an email. “Hopefully, we can get as many LHS students to participate in the events and maybe save someone’s life.” Last year Hazen High School hosted the same event and had more than 400 Renton School District students receive free screenings. The screenings consist of a health survey,
Spotlight
of
blood pressure test, physical examination and an on-site echocardiogram and they take between 15 and 30 minutes. Appointments are limited and Lindbergh students must return a completed health survey form to the athletic office to schedule an appointment. Non-Lindbergh students must email appt@nickoftimefoundation.org to schedule appointments between 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. with the child’s full name, age, gender, attending school and parent’s name and contact information. A copy of the “Health Survey” packet is available at the Lindbergh High School Main Office and online at www.nickoftimefoundation.org/programs/youthheartscreening.

Local teams off to strong starts | Soccer By ADAM McFADDEN amcfadden@rentonrepoter.com
With a new core the Lindbergh girls soccer team is looking to build on last year’s success. The Eagles went 12-6 and finished with the top record in the Seamount last season. Even after losing talented seniors Whitney Hilde, Kimi Girmus and Jordyn McLuen, the team has plenty of talent this year. “We are off to a good start this year,” said Lindbergh coach James Valles. “We play the Seamount league 3A schools twice each this year so it should be a pretty competitive season for us.” It starts with senior forward Elise Aylward. After earning all-league mentions her freshman and sophomore years, Aylward sat out last season with an injury. She’s back now and tied for the team lead in goals with five. She also leads the team in assists, with four. Junior forward Lindsey Pfluger also has five goals this season.

principles were adopted. “And, thank you especially to our staff who have worked very hard to come up with a guiding principle list that really involves the community and takes care of the interests of all the people involved.” With regard to permitting for the library over the Cedar River, Vincent said there was some good news.
The current library is above the flood plain, but structural improvements below a certain point could trigger a federal permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The City of Renton will issue most of the permits, Vincent said. KCLS Director Bill Ptacek expressed his eagerness to the council to continue working on the Renton library projects. Worried about an erosion in good prices for sub-contractors and construction needs, Ptacek said he wants to keep the process moving. The Highlands library, Ptacek reported, is close to the schematic design phase. Council members Don Persson and Randy Corman brought up the issue of whether a housing portion of the Sunset Boulevard redevelopment and Highlands library project was off or where there had been some stumbling blocks. Dave Nielsen, director of development for Colpitts Development, said there were discussions about the design elements for the project, but the deal is not off. He indicated KCLS did not want housing units located over the library. The Highlands library project remains six months ahead of schedule.

Training helps officers identify people in behavioral crisis [ Intervention from page 1] The Crisis Solution Center was created as a therapeutic alternative for people experiencing a behavioral crisis to go for help, instead of jail or an emergency room. “The bank robber, it was unfortunate, but it’s deemed a violent crime even though it wasn’t violent,” said Detective Chris Edwards of the Renton Police Department. “And so it has to be treated that way; it has to be investigated that way.” Greer had no previous convictions prior to this incident, but did have previous contact with police concerning her mental health. In August Edwards completed crisis-intervention training that helps him identify people eligible for the Crisis Solution Center and its services. Edwards is a hostage negotiator and said other detectives and patrol officers within the Renton department have taken the training or plan to by the end of the year. Although police officers receive this type of training in the police academy, Edwards said there is a big push now for updated and enhanced training. “I went through 17 years go and they really didn’t have this type of crisis intervention training,” he said. “But, now everything is keying toward it.” A class on the Crisis Solutions Center was part of Edwards’ 40-hour training put on by the Criminal Justice
Training Commission. The center is operated by the Downtown Emergency Service Center or DESC and staff is trying to inform as many law enforcement officials as possible of the services. “Since DESC’s Crisis Solutions Center opened on Aug. 6, we’ve seen a steady ramp-up in referrals, and so far things are going well,” said Nicole Macri, DESC administrator. “However, almost all referrals have been from area hospital emergency departments. We continue to reach out to police departments around the county about this new resource.” Macri believes the slow participation from police departments has to do more with procedural issues involved in incorporating these sort of diversion referrals. However, she is confident the trend won’t last. “King County Sheriffs and Seattle Police Department are currently rolling out new procedures to their officers that we hope will provide a good model for other departments around the county,” Macri said. “We anticipate law enforcement referrals to pick up in the coming weeks.” There are three components to the Crisis Solutions Center: a Mobile Crisis Team, a Crisis Diversion Facility and Crisis Diversion Interim Services. So far the Mobile Crisis Team has had four calls or contacts in Renton. None of those contacts resulted in transports to the center; instead the person went to area shelters.
People who police encounter experiencing a behavioral crisis must choose to go to the center on a voluntary basis. Often police find people who’ve committed petty or misdemeanor crimes are also suffering from some type of mental distress. In the training Edwards completed, he received a list of the types of offenses eligible for diverting people to the center instead of going to jail. The list includes criminal trespass, malicious mischief, unlawful bus conduct, disorderly conduct and possession of marijuana among other offenses. The Crisis Diversion Facility is a 16-bed unit and a stepdown program offers 23 beds for clients who are homeless or unable to return to their previous living situation. So far the center has operated at a 25 to 80 percent, capacity depending on the day, according to Macri. The goal of the center is to stabilize a person’s crisis with a team of mental health and chemical dependency professionals by connecting them to long-term resources to fit their needs. Edwards sees value in the center and agrees hospitals and jails have become revolving doors for people in crisis. “This is to prevent that and this is what we want,” he said. “We don’t want to keep booking people into jail. No. 1, it’s costly, but No. 2 it screws a person up unfortunately financially and mentally when they’re in jail.”
Renton woman looking for better place to live robs a bank By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
A 23-year-old Renton woman just wanted to live where she didn’t have to do anything. So, she walked into the Key Bank on Northeast Fourth Street in the Highlands late in the afternoon on Sept. 4 and demanded cash from a teller. She was handed what the teller initially thought was about $1,700. Then she waited in the bank’s lobby for police to arrive. She wanted to go to jail because, she told officers, “you did not have to do anything there.” Joanna M. Greer was charged last week with first-degree robbery; her arraignment was Thursday. She’s being held at the King County Jail in Seattle on $50,000 bail. A bank employee was
holding the stolen cash outside the bank when a Renton Police officer arrived at about 4:30 p.m. The officer could see Greer in the bank lobby, holding her purse. The officer recognized Greer from previous contacts for involuntary commitments, according to charging documents. She told officers she suffers from mental illness. According to documents, Greer told the officer she robbed the bank because she could. Greer told the officer she was not feeling well and wanted to go to jail. The robbery happened at 4:21 p.m., when Greer walked up to a teller, told her this was a robbery and that she could call police. She demanded money and said “no dye pack.” The teller asked Greer whether she was serious

and she said yes. The teller notified security she was being robbed. After attempting to walk away, the teller handed Greer the money.
Greer started to leave, but the doors were locked. The teller called 911. The employee recovered the money from Greer; it totaled $1,487.
Greer was arrested and interviewed at the police station at Renton City Hall. According to the charging documents, it appeared to the officer that Greer
robbed the bank not for monetary gain but to get treatment or “be in a perceived better environment.” She has no prior convictions.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
