Where have the birds gone? Since the installation of smart water meters last month, the birds have disappeared from the Rolling Hills neighborhood

Library debate heats up again as plans emerge By TRACEY COMPTON

Paul Ouellette has lived in the Rolling Hills neighborhood for decades and since his retirement he has spent a lot of time in his backyard, which contains several bird feeders. “Normally you walk Normally at this into a neighborhood time of year, his and hear birds. Here backyard is filled there’s nothing. And with birds; finches, this time of year it chickadees and should be getting even hummingnoisier.” Bruce Chase, birds. Rolling Hills “It’s very nice to see them flying around the yard all the time,” he said. But this year is different. This year an eerie silence has settled over Ouellette’s yard - and his entire neighborhood. “The birds are gone,” he said this past week. “Our feeders are still full.” Ouellette said some people tell him it’s the hawks or that this winter has been foggy and that’s thrown off the birds. But Ouellette, a retired civil engineer, isn’t buying it. He’s seen winters like this before and there have been birds.

four times a day to help monitor water usage without having to send workers to check individual meters. By mid-January, the entire Rolling Hills North neighborhood had been equipped with the new meters.

The debate got heated again during discussions on the Cedar River library renovations at an open house meeting Tuesday night. Audience members interjected and expressed frustration as City of Renton officials tried to explain information collected for the pre-application process for land use and environmental permits for the library over the Cedar River. Many said they felt slighted by what the city was presenting and questioned whether the public’s input was truly being considered. Chip Vincent and Peter Renner updated the medium-sized crowd in City Council chambers on the latest developments on the downtown Renton library and the Highlands library that’s part of the Sunset Boulevard redevelopment project. Vincent is the city’s community and economic development director and Renner is the facilities director. The majority of the meeting was focused on the public’s concern for the downtown library over the Cedar River. Frustrations are tied to a conceptual floor plan the city released in which the footprint of the building is smaller and the main entry has been

Paul Ouellette has been feeding birds in the Rolling Hills neighborhood for several years and said since the city has installed smart water meters, he has not had to buy bird feed for the multiple feeders in his backyard. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter “If you feed the birds, you know when they’re (usually around),” he said. But there is a difference in the neighborhood this winter. Beginning in mid-December, the city began installing new smart-water meters on homes all throughout Rolling Hills. The meters send information to the city

The union representing Boeing’s professional and technical workers was handed in a split decision on the company’s most recent contract offer. The engineers have accepted the contract while the technical workers rejected the offer. In addition, the technical workers gave the bargaining unit the authorization to strike if they

felt necessary. According to SPEEA, the numbers shook out like this: The Professional Unit representing engineers accepted the contract 6,483 to 5,514, but also authorized a strike 6,727 to 5,249, just in case. “They have locked in a contract that provides 5 percent raise pools for its duration and no increases in medical,” said SPEEA spokesperson Bill Dugovich.

The Technical Unit representing technical workers voted to reject the contract by a margin of 3,203 to 2,868 and authorized a strike 3,903 to 2,165. With rejection of Boeing’s contract offer by members of the Technical Bargaining Unit, the union notified the federal mediator Wednesday to schedule the resumption of negotiations, according to a Wednesday press release from SPEEA, The Society of [ more SPEEA page 8

Armondo Pavone to run for open City Council seat 1986 and operated until 2011. He continues to own a steakhouse, The Melrose, along with his partner Franco Phillips. Pavone has been a business leader and has been active with the Renton Chamber of Commerce, Renton Hill Neighborhood Association, former board member with the Downtown Renton Association and a member of Renton Rotary since 1996. He was one of the founding members of the Renton Blue Ribbon Committee that was responsible for changing the direction of the city and credited with attracting new development and jobs to the community. Pavone says his interest in serving on the City Council is a continuation of his commitment to play a role in Renton’s future. “I have watched this city evolve from a small manufacturing town into a desired community to live and operate a business,” Pavone said. “Renton has earned the respect of the entire region for being a progressive, quality city, where people work together for the good of the community.” Pavone cited the quality of Renton schools and the rich diversity of the community that makes Renton a special place to live. “We have quality parks and schools and many public amenities that continue to attract new families here,” he said. “I look forward to working with other council members and the city administration in making sure that we protect, and even improve, the quality of life in our community.”

Armondo Pavone, a life-long Renton resident and business owner, announced Tuesday he will run for a seat on the Renton City Council this year. Pavone and his wife Angela live on Renton Hill with their two young boys, Roman and Dominic. Pavone will seek an open seat on the council currently held by council member Rich Zwicker, who has announced he does not plan to seek re-election to his seat this year. Zwicker was appointed to the City Council in 2008 and elected in 2010. “I’m thrilled that Armondo is stepping forward to run for City Council,” Zwicker said. “He has my full support.” Pavone has deep roots Armondo Pavone in the Renton community. His father John retired after 24 years of service with the Renton Police Department. Pavone was born and raised in this community and is a graduate of Renton High School.

New home for Italian cuisine in city By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Renton business partners Santiago Potenciano and Salvatore Lembo got the green light to take their restaurant concept to the next level after a city landlord recognized their potential. Denny Dochnahl, who owns property in Renton, was a regular customer of the duo’s Vino Ristorante on South Third Avenue for eight years. Potenciano became a partner in 2010 and built up a growing clientele. Lembo owned Vino for several years prior to 2010 with another partner, before he closed it in 2008. Dochnahl saw the need for the business to expand its space in Renton and offered the two men the space in his building formerly occupied by restaurant Armondo’s. Marianna Ristorante, Pizzeria and bar opened on Jan. 28. Potenciano had dreamed about opening a full wine bar upstairs at the former location but was limited by liability and accessibility issues that prevented him from expanding to a second level at Vino. Marianna’s new space at 310 Wells Ave. S. gives the restaurateurs more square footage, space for a new pizza oven and an even better kitchen. “A lot of my customers were very very sad that we were leaving that house; but when they saw what I did here, they were just, ‘wow’,” said Potenciano. Partner Lembo is no stranger to Italian restaurants. He’s owned Bellevue’s Firenze Ristorante Italiano for 20 years. Rosendo Ruiz is the executive chef at Firenze and also a partner at Marianna in Renton. Originally from Sicily, Lembo came to the states in 1986. He owns a small winery in Tuscany, which produces about 5,000 bottles, which he sells in his restaurants. He also owns Pizzeria Guido and Wine Bar, which his daughter Valentina Lembo manages. Potenciano and Lembo’s friendship developed during a 15-year period, after Potenciano came to work for him as a busboy. “I used to change his diapers when he was a baby,” Lembo jokes. Potenciano, who is originally from Mexico, worked his way up the business, learning from

Lembo about Italian food and wine. Potenciano also traveled to Italy and acquired the most important talent from Lembo: how to talk to customers. “They taught me “They taught me a lot a lot about wine about wine and Italian and Italian food food and how to talk to and how to talk to people and connect with people and connect them in such a way they come here,” said Potenciawith them in such no about Lembo’s family. a way they come “They (customers) just here.” Santiago love the place.” Potenciano Marianna is named after Lembo’s mother. Potenciano remembers 10 years ago when Lembo’s mother would cook homemade meals for them. It was Potenciano’s idea to name the restaurant after her. The menu has all the same favorites as Vino, with the addition of more pizza and pastas. The signature dish is the Farfalle all Marianna: bowtie pasta, prepared with yellow peppers, procuitto and a touch of cream. It’s a dish Lembo’s mother is known for making. Jackson

Cavanaugh is the executive chef at Marianna. The owners kept the colorful, glass pendant lights left over from Armondo’s. However, management tried to create a more European feel by discarding the former pink trim and green carpet interiors for earth tones and tile. There is a private room with a projector and equipment, a stage for entertainment and private parties, as well as the full bar. “They don’t come just to eat,” said Lembo. “It’s more than just eating. It’s entertainment, it’s social. It’s to meet somebody. It’s to hear the accent, something, you know.” He calls their operations transparent and believes customers like their authenticity. “The people they like us because we are not fake; we are not plastic,” Lembo said. Potenciano sees a great future at the restaurant’s new location and for the city in general. “I think this place has a lot of potential to grow,” he said. “I think in three to four years from now. We’re like five minutes from the airport. So if people start noticing that people are going to come here and just stop by here. It’s a good spot.”

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“The birds are gone. Our feeders are still full.“ Paul Ouellette of Rolling Hills

Sobering number of those in need to only get worse Remember the commercial with Sam Elliott, “Beef. It’s what’s for dinner?” For many people in our community, dinner may not have anything to do with beef, or protein, or anything healthy. They may not even have dinner. Washington state is the 16th hungriest state in this country. According to the Food Lifeline website, 47 percent of the people utilizing their services in 2010 had to choose between paying for food, or paying for heat and utilities. Their “Missing Meals” report shows an additional 163 million meals are needed each year in Western Washington alone to give all low-income people three nutritious meals a day. And we already know that 1 in 4 children go to bed hungry in our state. If you think these are sobering numbers – be prepared. It’s getting worse. According to our local Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul, the number of people seeking services here in Renton is increasing exponentially. “Two weeks ago, we had 167 people come through our doors in one day,” says Captain Chris Aird, Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank. “That shattered prior records. Today, we saw 174.” So, why is this happening if the economy is getting better? “We’ve lost thousands of jobs over the last five years,” says Lani Cavit, St. Vincent de Paul/ Renton. “And some companies are cutting hours because of the Affordable Care Act.” Add to that the fact that many middle class families have used up all of their resources. They’ve depleted their savings, borrowed from families and friends, sold their second car, and are now forced to do something they’ve never had to do before – ask for help. “The food bank had 170 new families in the month of January,” says Captain Aird. “And over 1,200 in the last five months.” Lynn Bohart

Letter to the editor Helping the homeless is not a simple thing Re: “83 homeless counted in Renton survey,” Renton Reporter, Feb. 1, 2013 Was anything done more than counting? And what’s 59 of “unknown gender?” The facts remain as such: Homelessness is inherently NOT a crime. In fact, in this current economic era of foreclosure, many people are actually a paycheck away from homelessness.

There is so very much more to this social ill than the overly simplistic viewpoint that we are just to be counted, then run out of town into another jurisdiction to make city stats seem like we can lure more business to pad pockets with. Ask yourself how you’d feel if you were reduced to relieving yourself in public and getting a $500-plus ticket when every store has a sign that says, “No public restrooms?” Where would you do your nature call? This was a miscount! There’s more than 83 homeless in Renton. That’s all the bean counters cared enough to number before they quit after three hours. That never accounted for those who were so camouflaged that nobody would ever

notice. It neglected those of us who may have had a rare night with a friend to avoid hypothermia. It didn’t account for those in jail to get “three hots and a cot.” It didn’t mention those in hospitals dying from exposure; it didn’t contend for those trying to stay warm by riding buses just for the heat. The numbers were skewed just for funding purposes. Next time you don’t want a tent city in your precious hood, continue your genocide and we’ll see you on the streets.

Margaret L. Nielsen

Beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on February 14, 2013 at the age of 90. It was 70 years to the day she became engaged to the love of her life Rollie C. Nielsen who preceded her in death. Margaret and Rollie grew up miles apart in Montana and later met at the Boeing Company in Renton. They married March 20, 1943 and are survived by four devoted children: Shari Nickels (Bob), Bruce Nielsen (Kathy), Bryan Nielsen (Suzie) and Kris Nielsen, her 11 loving grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren and a large extended family. She chose to be a mother and homemaker and was a wonderful cook well known for her homemade cinnamon rolls and salsa. She will be greatly missed by all. In lieu of flowers, remembrances can be made in her name to Providence Hospice of Seattle, 425 Pontius Ave. N. #300, Seattle, WA 98109. 743159

group want kids to learn and how can they make that happen. Newmeyer also hopes the group comes away with ideas on how to move forward, support for future meetings and commitment to participate from community partners. This is a revived effort after an earlier attempt five years ago, which did not work out because funding fell through. Funding this year has been provided through Title 1, a federal program providing assistance to public schools with high numbers of poor students. Some funding may also come from the Race to The Top grant, from which the district recently received funds, and the Basic Education Fund. The district hopes to influence all children at the pre-kindergarten level. “Now we’re trying to touch all kids,” said Newmeyer. “The belief is that getting ready for kindergarten is partially innate, but something we need to do from birth to kindergarten (to) five years.”

While President Barack Obama and the nation examine issues surrounding early education, the Renton School District is initiating an effort to facilitate more support for pre-kindergarten learning from the community. The district has invited 38 community partners, including daycares and pre-school programs, to a “dessert and dialogue” on March 7. The event is 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. at Carco Theatre, 1717 S.E. Maple Valley Highway, Renton. Representatives from Valley Medical Center have also been invited to participate. The district is trying to team up with these early learning partners to get kids ready for kindergarten. “I hope that people come to the table,” said Amy Newmeyer, in a phone interview. She is an early learning liaison with the district’s Early Childhood

Education Programs. Newmeyer is coordinating the community outreach effort and funding for the project. She has gone door-to-door to explain the district’s approach to early education. “We hope that they (community partners) are going to help define it for us,” Newmeyer said of early education curriculum. “What we envision is that together we would decide what kindergarten should look like in math and social skills and literacy.” The district has adopted a math and social skills program, but the administration is hoping the community partners will join the district in creating a literacy program, Newmeyer said. “Eventually what it means is that the Renton School District would loan out some of the materials that (the district) needs depending on the area of focus, what we decide,” she said. One question the district hopes the meeting will answer is, what does the

it should be getting noisier.” Ouellette said his research on the Internet has shown similar issues elsewhere, on small animals such as squirrels – which are also missing from the neighborhood these days, he said – and bees. “I don’t know what the impact is,” Ouellette said. “I want the City of Renton to do some research.” According to Utility Engineering Supervisor-Water Abdoul Gafour, the city has no information at this time on the effects of the meters on wildlife. Gafour said units. “That’s a real sign of solidarity among the members,” he said. Dugovich said if a strike is called, the engineers would not participate, as they have a contract in place they must honor. The engineers could, however, provide and show their support for the tech workers. In a statement released late Tuesday, Boeing president and CEO Ray

Union officials have called the change a “poison pill” and said Boeing’s own estimates show that the change could cost new employees more than 31 percent at retirement, though SPEEA’s calculations show the loss to be more like 41 percent.

Conner said the company was pleased the engineers accepted their contract but was “deeply disappointed” the technical employees rejected its offer. “Our goal throughout this entire process was to make sure SPEEArepresented employees were rewarded for the contributions they bring to this company every single day,” said Conner in a press release. “We believe this offer leads the market in every way.” The primary bone of contention at this point is a change to the prior contract by the company that would place future hires in a 401k

the city is looking into the matter further for discussion at the Utilities Committee meeting on Monday. The issue was added to the committee’s agenda after Ouellette spoke to the council. Toby Ross, science manager for the Seattle Audubon Society also said he had not heard of this issue prior to getting a call recently from Ouellette. Ross said there was “very little research” into the matter and is also checking with other local experts. Ross also stressed that there could be many other reasons for missing birds, though he did not rule out the meters. “It could just be a coincidence,” Ross said. And while it might be a coincidence, Ouellette and his neighbors are concerned it might be the harbinger of a bigger problem. Like the canary miners used to take into a coal mine to warn them if toxic gases were building up, Ouellette worries that once again our feathered friends are giving us a warning. “The birds are indicators of a potential problem,” he said. The Utilities Commission will meet at 4 p.m. Monday in the Council Committee Room, City Hall. A briefing on smart meter installation is on the scheduled agenda.

And the birds were gone. “Right after the meter was installed -- I was noticing my bird feeders weren’t going down,” Ouellette said. In the past Ouellette said he was spending about $30 a month on bird seed. Now? “I haven’t bought any for two months,” he said. Ouellette began asking his neighbors if they’d experienced anything similar. Bruce Chase, who lives down the street from Ouellette, said he and his wife also noticed something strange this year. “Ever since they’ve installed that smart meter, we have not seen a bird,” Chase said. “They’re just gone.” Chase’s house sits along a greenbelt in the neighborhood and he said he and his wife specifically noticed the lack of hummingbirds at their feeders. Usually, they’d get three or four birds every hour stopping by for a quick meal. “Now we’re lucky to see one a day,” he said. Ouellette has taken his concerns to the city, including an appearance at the Feb. 11 City Council meeting, asking the council to look into the continued use of smart meters through out the city. The city’s meters work by sending out a

one-minute, 900 megahertz pulse of information every four hours. While that doesn’t seem like a lot, only one meter can send the information at a time so each meter in a neighborhood has to wait its turn to send the information to the controller, located in Rolling Hills on a water tower. Because of this, there is almost a constant wave of the pulse streaming out from an area. “It’s constantly doing it,” Ouellette said. While there is much information and misinformation on the effects of the highfrequency pulse on the health of humans, there is little research into the effect on small wildlife such as birds. The meters operate at a frequency similar to cell phones and other portable communications devices and while some minor health effects have been reported, such as problems sleeping or dizziness or nausea, the meters are generally considered safe for humans. Ouellette said he thinks the city’s meters may be different somehow, as the power and gas meters in the neighborhood were also fitted with smart meters last year and they did not seem to have an effect on the neighborhood’s wildlife. But since the city’s have gone on, he and Chase both said the change was obvious and immediate. “Normally you can walk into a neighborhood and hear birds,” Chase said. “Here there’s nothing. And at this time of the year,

Plans for Highlands library on Sunset are moving forward moved close to the current parking lot. Tensions ran so high that at one point Terry Higashiyama, the city’s community services administrator, warned an audience member the meeting would be halted if he continued to be disruptive and belligerent. Higashiyama was speaking to Dan Hemenway. Hemenway had warned the city representatives their actions would trigger even more people to support what he perceived to be the people’s design or concept for the library over the Cedar River.

“That’s a meeting that we will show up in force,” said Hemenway. “That’s when you’re going to have a war.” When asked after the meeting for an explanation, Hemenway said he was disappointed to see that the City of Renton, King County Library System and the “major part of the population” were still going in different directions regarding the renovation of the Cedar River library. He did not see a reason why the building should be reduced by 25 to 30 percent and called the proposal arrogant. “We don’t have the budget to pull that crap; don’t do it,” Hemenway said. “They are pulling stuff that is not necessary. These are amateurs in suits trying to do stuff that the smart person, those in construction, would say, ‘No, no no.’” Audience member David Keyes was critical of the city’s presentation so far. He is a member of the Renton Advocacy Coalition, a citizens group that is closely following the city’s library developments. “(I am) rather frustrated that the three of you and your staff have to take the fall for the City Council,” Keyes said

addressing Vincent, Renner and Higashiyama. “This is (the downtown library) whether the city has the political will to do this or not.” Keyes also asked Vincent and Renner what steps they have personally taken to ensure the people’s wishes are incorporated into the design process. The two city representatives explained the city’s approach. Vincent explained certain urban design standards were being deviated from to be as efficient as possible with a limited budget. Renner explained the role of the city is to provide the funding in the interlocal agreement and KCLS’s role is to facilitate the design and construction. Renner said he was not delegated to tell the city and KCLS how they are doing their jobs. “Everyone is Not everyone agreed with the tenor allowed their of the meeting. At different points opinion, but not a few audience members spoke up, as a spokesperson expressing different opinions than the for everyone in most vocal attendees. One woman Renton.” Audience addressed Vincent and Renner, saying member not all of Renton’s residents’ feelings should be lumped together with the critical statements of a few upset spokespeople. “Everyone is allowed their opinion, but not as a spokesperson for everyone in Renton,” the woman said. The meeting included an update on feedback the City of Renton received from the Muckleshoot Tribe in regard to environmental concerns for doing construction over the Cedar River. That feedback was supportive, but a Muckleshoot representative asked the city to consider all the projects in development throughout the city that are involved with the Cedar River and to develop a comprehensive mitigation plan of best practices. The different schedules and players of each of those projects presents challenges, but Renner said, the city is looking into best practices for mitigation. There has also been some tension with the library project in the Highlands, said Renner. The four-party agreement between Colpitts Development, the King County Library System, Renton Housing Authority and the City of Renton has taken some time to come together. Renner calls it a step-by-step process that has been helped recently by a site survey. The core problems are that the developer wants to move on its schedule and KCLS just wants to get (the project) out of the ground, said Renner. Colpitts and KCLS each want to move at their own rate, but now that KCLS will do its own structured parking instead of Colpitts, Renner sees more movement with the project. They are still working on redevelopment plans for Sunset Lane to direct traffic.

City offering grants for neighborhoods for projects By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Using money from the city’s Neighborhood Matching Grant Program, the Tiffany Park neighborhood over the past few years has turned an empty intersection into a small urban park. In the Sunset neighborhood, matching grant funds were used to build a community garden, one of two that in season routinely help supply the food bank with fresh vegetables. And in the Maplewood area, a grant was used to turn what the Neighborhood Program coordinator Norma McQuiller said was once an “ugly spot” into a park of their own. “The neighborhood grants program affords them the opportunity to implement programs they want to see in their neigh-

borhood,” McQuiller said. This year, the City of Renton has up to $72,000 available in matching grants for neighborhood projects around the city; all residents have to do is come up with the idea and match the funding in “sweat equity” or work to complete the project. Projects suitable for the grants are any costing more than $1,000 and are designed to promote networking among residents, communication between the city government and citizens and to enhance one of the city’s many neighborhoods with something it may be lacking, be it a simple welcome sign or a tile mosaic at a park, or even something larger, like the $23,000 landscaping and irrigation project along Northeast Third Street that planted trees to protect the view corridor. “Eventually, when you drive up

Northeast Third, you won’t see all the rooftoops of that neighborhood,” McQuiller said. But not all of the projects have to be used for beautification. Two neighborhoods received grants for emergency kiosks in their neighborhood, including one that was used for communications when the January 2012 ice storm knocked out power to several neighborhoods. “They range from all different categories,” McQuiller said of the projects. “They are judged on the meat of their program.” The Neighborhood Program began as a pilot program in 1997 and was made official late in 2000. It was designed to help bridge a disconnect between the city government and the citizens of Renton. Earlier this year, the program hosted its annual neighbor-to-

neighbor forum, drawing more than 50 residents to the Renton Senior Activity Center on a Saturday morning, Feb. 9. This year’s grant application period is open through March 8 and is designed for projects costing more than $1,000. For smaller projects, micro-grants are available. When the program began, projects were capped at $5,000, but McQuiller said as neighborhoods became “more innovative” in what they hoped to accomplish, the limit was removed. “There’s really no ceiling amount,” she said, but said grants are only available to groups representing one of the city’s 72 defined neighborhoods. The projects are reviewed by a team of city staff and employees, including McQuiller, and will be evaluated on a large list of criteria

that includes a well-defined scope and goal, a timeline, identified leaders that have made a commitment, creativity, a public benefit and the involvement of the community, among other things. Neighborhoods are required to “match” the funding provided by the city, mostly in volunteer labor or local professionals living in the neighborhood willing to devote their time and skills to a project. “These neighborhoods, there is so much talent in these neighborhoods,” McQuiller said. The deadline for filing an application is March 8. For more information, visit http://rentonwa. gov/living/default.aspx?id=2234.

Swimmers make waves at state meet By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Lindbergh and Hazen swim teams each made strong showings at their respective state meets this weekend at the Federal Way Aquatic Center. Lindbergh was led by its divers, including Tanner Zornes with his fourth-place finish and a score of 323.30. Fellow Highlander Josh Jordan finished 16th with 209.95 points. Aaron Jacobsen was the top finisher for the Eagles in the water with his fourth-place spot in the 100-yard butterfly at 56.70 seconds. A.J. Lim also garnered a trip to the podium with his eighthplace time of 2:11.84 in the 200yard freestyle. Lim also finished

ninth in the 100 breaststroke at 1:08.14. In the 2A meet, the Hazen Highlanders finished 13th. Malcolm Mitchell had the biggest individual day for the Highlanders. Mitchell earned a seventh-place finish - Hazen’s highest finish of the day - on his own, racing to a time of 53.32 seconds in the 100 butterfly. Connor Broughton had a good day for Hazen as well, finishing ninth in the 500-yard freestyle at 4:51.66. Turn Englehart also had a good day for the Highlanders, earning a 12th-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke in 56.26 second and a 14th-place spot in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:50.68.

Renton ballers advance despite early round losses Girls will face Sumner By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Refusing to let their season end, the Renton girls basketball team ran to an emphatic 54-35 victory over Bremerton Saturday to advance to the regional tournament this weekend. The victory earned the Indians a fifth place finish in the district

tournament and a chance to continue playing next weekend. But the path won’t be easy. The Indians open their tournament play this weekend against the District 3 champion Sumner Spartans. The teams recently faced off in a double overtime thriller at the sub-district tournament, eventually won by Sumner. The rematch gets under way at 8 p.m. Friday at Kent Meridian.

Boys to play River Ridge By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Renton boys basketball team kept their season alive this weekend with a 62-50 win over Franklin Pierce to earn a spot in the regional tournament. After dropping their first game to the upstart Sumner Spartans, the Indians battled to a 16-16 tie in the

first quarter, but then pulled away in the second to take a 31-24 lead into the half. Renton came out strong again in the third, increasing their lead to 48-33 and then holding on in the final frame to earn their chance to keep playing in the regional tournament Feb. 23. The win earned Renton the sixth and final spot from District 3. They will play River Ridge High School, from Lacey, Wash., at 6 p.m. Friday at Tumwater High School.
