How to fill A picnic basket in Renton
SIFF-Renton gets under way with 6 nights of films By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Seize the next sunny day and explore Renton with a picnic basket and enjoy a lovely scene like this in Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park – all for under $40. tracey Compton, Renton Reporter
You can find plenty of goodies for under $40
By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
While sunny days may be sprinkled throughout the month, they are still cause for spontaneous celebration, with a picnic to enjoy some of Renton’s scenic parks. I did just that on a recent bright weekday afternoon. I filled a picnic basket for under $40, with food and beverages from local retailers and
headed to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park on the shores of Lake Washington. To fill my basket, I struck out for some of the city’s tasty treasures. Renton is host to many ethnic restaurants and mom and pop businesses. A Pacific Northwest business with one of its four locations in Renton is Uwajimaya. I stopped there to peruse the gro[ more picnic page 8]
The opening night screening and gala drew a huge crowd and now the real film-watching begins. For the next six nights, starting today, the Seattle International Film Festival will show 18 films from across the globe in Renton. Tickets for the films are $12 and $10 for SIFF members. They’re available online at siff.net or at the box office at the IKEA Performing Arts Center. The box office will open about 30 minutes before the start of the first film of the day and remain open until about 15 minutes after the beginning of the final film. A schedule of the films is available at rentonreporter.com in the Green Edition. It also was published in the May 17 Renton Reporter.
The field is set for political races in Renton With the candidate filing period officially closed, Renton residents can now get a look at their City Council races for this year. Local activist Beth Asher was the last
to throw her hat into the ring, filing last Friday to run for City Council Position 6 presently held by Terri Briere. In the race for Position 2, which is open due to incumbent Rich Zwicker’s decision not to run again, Armondo Pavone will take on Stuart Avery.

When bytes conquered the film world Audiences at SIFF screenings in Renton to see the movies in digital format; so long to 35 millimeter film By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Filmgoers at the Seattle International Film Festival in Renton will see just how the digital age has taken over the film age. Think bytes vs. celluloid. Monday, for the third time, Miles McRae sat in the cramped projection room at the IKEA Performing Arts Center at Renton High School, preparing the equipment that will show the 19 films screening at this year’s festival in Renton through Wednesday. Gone are the days when he lugged around about 600 pounds of equipment, including a 35 millimeter projector that has been the movie-industry standard for decades. It came with the movies on reels of film. Now, the industry standard is DCP or Digital Cinema Package. The movies are delivered to theaters as digital files, which are “ingested”
Miles McRae on Monday set up the digital projection equipment at the IKEA Performing Arts Center at Renton High School for the 19 films that will screen at the IPAC. dean a. radford, Renton Reporter
or copied onto a server and then shown on a digital projector. “That is how the content is being delivered to the majority of theaters in the United States today,” said McRae, who is the owner of Seattlebased McRae Theater Equipment, Inc. The major theater chains have already made the conversion to what is called a D-cinema System, he said; for independent movie
houses, the owners “are coming to grips” with the cost of converting a screen to digital for $50,000 to $60,000, he said. SIFF rents projection equipment from McRae for the festival. Last year, Renton was the last SIFF venue to show all the films on a 35 millimeter projector. The debate continues whether digital presentation is superior to 35 millimeter film presentation or
vice versa. “In reality the presentation from the digital system is going to be of higher quality due to the fact there is no mechanical jitter or weave in this system,” McRae said. Sound quality in digital cinema should be better than film because the sound is recorded on its own track, rather than printed onto the film’s track, he said. With film, a projectionist sat in the projection booth, ensuring “the presentation was the best that it could be,” he said. Now an operator sits at a keyboard; to start a film, he or she just hits play. The server checks all the “content devices” to ensure everything is “valid,” or working properly. Then the film begins. The McRae family roots go deep into Renton. Miles McRae’s uncle and aunt, Robert and Elia McRae, owned the Roxy and Renton theaters on South Third Street for many years. Now, along with their son David, they own the Ark Lodge Cinemas on Rainier Avenue South in south Seattle. The Roxy’s sign lights up the interior of the Renton History Museum.

City, Metro Transit to track behavior at transit center Starting in June, the Renton Police Department and Metro Police will conduct emphasis patrols for unlawful behavior at the Renton Transit Center downtown. The officers will enforce rules spelled out in state law (RCW 9.91.025) that covers unlawful transit conduct.
During the first week, officers will educate violators about the law and issue warnings. After the first week, officers will enforce the law aggressively, according to the City of Renton. The law prohibits smoking, littering, loitering, loud music, alcohol consumption/open container of alcohol, skateboarding, biking and spitting at transit stations and on transit vehicles.
The patrols come as officers expect to see more people downtown with the return of good weather. “While the crime rate at the transit center does not exceed other areas of the city, we recognize that our residents are concerned about criminal activity in the area,” said Renton Police Chief Kevin Milosevich in a media release. The patrols will include Renton officers

in the state to establish a student government and student clubs. The college’s student government was created two years ago, thanks to a push from Steve Hanson, RTC president, said Christy Hernandez. Hernandez feels there was never much interest in having a student government, clubs or student body presence before because the average RTC student is a 32-year-old single mother, she said. More recently, students have shown great interest in student life activities on campus, Hernandez said. The college is still popular for those looking to advance in their careers. Kara Mirante, a first-year surgical technology student, chose RTC because of her interest in the field and the school’s shortened program. The surgical technology program is one year, with 27 credits each quarter and practical experience at area hospitals. Mirante chose the program because at other schools it’s a two-year endeavor. “There’s a lot we’re expected to learn, but if this is your passion then all the studying is worth it,” she said. In July, students will help with delivery and labor at local
hospitals. Culinary arts, dental assistant and massage therapy programs are in high demand. Often these programs have waiting lists. Other programs such as the automotive, office management, legal assistant and survey technician departments need students. “The need for surveyors in Washington state is a growing problem, as most of the licensed surveyors are over the age of 55,” said Kendra Smith, RTC spokesperson.

Renton Technical College invited the community to campus for its “Open Door Festival” May 16 to sample programs at information booths and enjoy entertainment, food and games in the courtyard. City Councilman Randy Corman addressed the large crowd of people who turned out for the open house, remarking on the many diverse communities the college serves. Students stopped between classes to enjoy breakdancing from the Massive Monkees, a lion dance performance from the International Lion Dance and Martial Arts Team, Tian Yuan Li’s sword-dancing from Northwest Wushu and a hip-hop dance demonstration. The student population at RTC is diverse, with more than half of the population being people of color. The student body is very similar to Renton’s city-wide population with a make up of 46 percent white, 19 precent Asian, Pacific Islander and Hawaiian, 16 percent African American, 14 percent Latino, 4 percent other and 1 percent Native American. Next year for the first time, student clubs will be offered on campus. RTC is the last of the 34 community colleges

Three practical solutions to stop jaywalking in city By Debby Ekness
Jaywalking could cost you your life. At the very least, it should cost you a ticket. The Renton Highland’s commute on Thursday, May 2, came to a screaming halt when two minors were struck by a vehicle while jaywalking on North Fourth Street around the 3700 block. I know because I was in that back-up with three other kids in the car with me. We knew it was bad as we saw a fire truck, ambulances and police cars rush to the scene with lights blazing, leaving the commuting mass in the lurch. Why did this happen and how can it be prevented? I can only guess, since I don’t know the kids involved. I would say that it’s quicker to cross in the middle of the block, since the two closest crosswalks are an equal, inconvenient distance from the accident. They were probably in a hurry, there was no police deterrent immediately around to issue a ticket for jaywalking, and the bus stop was located on either side right there. I know there have been other similar accidents and close calls just like this one on the same stretch of road. I pass by this way every day to and from my home. I find myself trying to out-guess some of the potential jaywalkers. Do I slow down and make way? Do I tap on my horn to let them know it’s not safe to cross here? Or do I do nothing, and wait for another injury, or perhaps a death, caused by this and hope that something will be done about it? How many more accidents will occur before action is taken? Solutions could be one of several. I’ll list a few. First, ELIMINATE the bus stops on either side of the street there. I know it’s a convenient location being adjacent to many apartments and places of business, but eliminating the bus stop would force the next stop to be located just after the next stop light traveling either way. And, guess what, there is a CROSSWALK right next to the bus stop there. Solution number two: have unscheduled police officers show up and issue tickets for jaywalking. Jaywalking is illegal and for a good reason. It’s not safe. Especially when there are four traveling lanes and one turn lane. Jaywalking is a ticket-able offense. But if it is not enforced, the law will not be followed. This goes for adults as well as minors. Adults pushing a stroller while jaywalking should also be issued a ticket for endangering a minor’s life. My third and final (and most expensive) solution would be to install either a crosswalk with yellow blinking lights overhead, or to construct a pedestrian overpass for that area. While jaywalking could be considered a very innocent violation of the law, that does not excuse it. Traffic and safety laws are made with our well-being in mind. If these laws are not followed, you might get away with it. Or, you might get a ticket. Worse, it could take your life. I hope the two youths involved have a full recovery. Hopefully, this reminder will save someone else’s life.

Senate effort to divert excise tax delays implementation of E-911 By Lora UEland
This past legislative session, the Senate 2013-15 operating budget proposed diverting more than $15 million in 911 revenue to fund non-911-related programs. This proposed fund sweep could not only result in the loss of federal funding, but could also delay the implementation of “Next Generation” 911 by several years. The majority of funding for 911 is generated through a 911 excise tax. This excise tax appears as a 95-cent line item charge on your monthly phone bill. It is paid by both land line and wireless users. This funding is used to process the 5.9 million calls local 911 centers handle on a yearly basis. Washington state 911 has just begun to implement Next Generation 911 with the placement of a new, digitally capable network. Implementation of some technological aspects of this network remains to be finished. Despite these great strides, no 911 center in Washington state can currently accept digital data or text messages. Old call-processing equipment cannot keep up with modern technology, and therefore, is unable to provide comparable service for emerging communications devices and is not capable of processing widely used data such as text messaging, pictures, video or telematics from vehicles. Both the technology and standards exist today to complete the upgrade of the Washington state E-911 network with a “Next Generation” (NG) solution that will route 911 calls over an IP-based network (ESInet). A complete
IP-based network will allow for the delivery of the additional data necessary for an effective public-safety response system. This network will improve call set up time, and increase the speed at which voice and data arrive at the PSAP, and with additional improvements, will allow people who are deaf or speech impaired to directly communicate with 911 via text messaging, thereby saving lives. The 911 community has begun the transition to the NG solution, but until the transition is complete, Washington state citizens will not see the full benefits of this modern technology. We must ensure that Washington state can meet the standards for service delivery under development as the nation moves forward with an NG911 solution. 911 authorities must ensure that every Washington resident and visitor is able to access 911 utilizing multimedia sources to receive the best quality 911 service. Our legislators, governor, voice and data-service providers and public safety agencies must all work together to ensure we have an appropriate funding solution that will support the modernization of our E-911 system and that will continue to serve all citizens within Washington State. While we understand the difficult economic times we face, utilizing 911 excise taxes for non911 purposes erodes public trust in both state and local government and delays the ability to update E-911 systems in Washington state. We strongly urge our legislators to do the right thing: leave the 911 fund intact.

City, VFW hosting Memorial Day event Monday bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
The city will host a special Memorial Day program at 1 p.m. Monday at Veterans Memorial Park in honor of those who have served both at home and abroad and in memory of those who have fallen in the line of duty. The program is coordinated by Frank R. Vaise of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 1263 and will include an invocation by the local chaplain of the Fred Hancock American Legion Post No. 19, presentation of colors, and a rendition of the National Anthem. A ceremonial wreath honoring the five branches of military service will be presented at the memorial. There will also be a ceremonial Honor Guard, playing of taps and singing of
a patriotic song. Parks department workers this week spent time preparing the memorial for the event, including the cleaning of the memorial’s marble face, which gets stained by the mortar used to hold them in place. Since the park opened, maintaining the marble plaques has involved an inordinate amount of care by the city’s parks crews to keep them looking as clean and respectful as possible. The thin marble material used, along with the concrete grout backing, is impossible to keep pristine, leaving cracked and stained marble. To deal with the issue, the city is in the process of hiring a contractor to install new thick black granite panels, which will replace all existing etched or blank marble plaques. This new material and its attach-

All existing etched plaques will be replicated in the same format and location where they currently reside. The work is scheduled to take place this fall. Tiles in the memorial are still available. The granite tiles cost $75. There is space for three lines of engraved text, with up to 16 characters per line. In addition to donated funds, the proceeds from the sale of plaques helped fund a portion of the park construction and will be used for continued maintenance.

cole slaw, homemade baked beans, corn on the cob, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, macaroni salad, tossed green salad, baked potato, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn bread and Texas Chili. I selected the corn and potato salad for my picnic basket. In the next block downtown, I popped into Common Ground Coffee and Cupcakes to add a couple of large specialty cupcakes to my basket ($2.50 each). These sweet puffs are scrumptious, made with buttercream frosting daily. Next, I headed around the corner to The Met Coffee and Wine Bar on Burnett Avenue South to look at its selection of 500 bottles priced from $15 to $300. Most of the wines are from Washington, 80 percent are reds and 20 percent are white wines. Owner Lise Kaneshiro picked out a Two Mountain 2011 Rosé ($16.99) from Yakima Valley to pair with the sandwiches. “This is refreshing and it can stand up to the meat,” she said. Adding wine to a picnic basket is kind of a splurge, but a nice touch for a few more dollars to enjoy where permitted. For a non-alcoholic affair, I headed to
Cost Plus World Market for their “Nostalgic Single Sodas” ($1.49). The store has a collection of retro soda brands made with real sugar cane. There are classics like orange, grape and cherry sodas to root beers and ginger beers, grapefruit, key lime cream, strawberry rhubarb and lemonade sodas. At last, I arrived. Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park has plenty of scenic perches to view Lake Washington and enjoy a picnic feast. There is the beach, lawn areas (with or without goose-droppings), lots of picnic areas and even a boardwalk with covered seating. Coulon is a popular sunny-day destination in Renton. There is a playground, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, volleyball courts, an interpretative botanical walk, a fishing pier, a swimming area, and 1 1/2 miles of trail along the shoreline. The park is accessible to everyone and anyone looking for an escape to nature. Renton has 29 developed public parks that are listed on the City of Renton’s web site.

Consider a less risky solution to control the intruders who want to feast on your plants: Beneficial Insects. These defenders of the garden include: lady bugs, lacewings, praying mantis, predatory snails and parasitic wasps. “Beneficials” will make a meal out of the insects which attack plants. It is important that “beneficials” have shrubs, trees, or tall grasses in which to seek refuge. If given a place to hide from cold winters, you may discover new generations of insects to help maintain a healthy balance of insect activity in your garden.

Geyman then allegedly reached into her lap and touched her on the outside of her shorts. He then ran his hand under the elastic band of her shorts and underwear and touched her again. The girl reported being afraid to tell him to stop for fear that he would hurt her. After leaving the motor home she told her father who called the police. His arraignment is set for June 3.

Phil enjoyed golfing in the British Isles and attended many PGA events while traveling and living in his RV. Our dad lived his life on his own terms and made many friends across America as an RV gypsy. He was a man firm in his convictions and opinions and his spirited and lively debate on a plethora of issues will be sorely missed. His love of reading is a great gift passed on to his offspring. Our dad described himself as a staunch Wyoming Republican and wasn’t afraid to tell you so. He will be missed. Phil is survived by his son Mike Harison, daughter Beverly Harison Tonda, his aunt Delores Sjogren and sister Wanda Peretti, grandson Leonard and granddaughter Katherine and great-grandchildren Charles and Nichole. A memorial service will be held Friday, May 31, 2 p.m. at the Hobart Community Church, 27524 SE 200th Street, Maple Valley WA. 791103

always care for the disadvantaged members of our city and be careful that they are not disenfranchised,” she said. Asher also said she wanted to help businesses flourish throughout the city, including downtown. Asher and her family - husband Norm, daughter Lauren and son Bryan - have lived in Renton for 39 years. Asher works as a whole goods brokerage assistant and is an owner and officer of RSGo Inc. LLC, a disaster-preparedness company. A believer in community action, Asher has volunteered for Special Olympics, helped friends throw the annual Kiwanis pancake breakfast, been a Crop Walker and worked for the Heart Association annual
fund drive. She is best known, however, as a cocoordinator with the Save the Renton Library initiative campaign that led to last summer’s location vote and worked this spring to alter the original designs put forth by the King County Library System that initially called for a smaller building at the Cedar River location. “As a council member I want to promote involvement by our diverse population in city-wide issues so that the majority will benefit from being able to bring a larger focus to a wide range of concerns,” she said. “Residents working together can be a powerful force for the future of our community.”

City keeps eye on state budget By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
With the state Legislature in a special session to deal with the state’s biennial budget, officials in Renton are holding out hope that several of their priorities from the year will yet be approved. At the top of the list for the city, according to spokesperson Preeti Shridhar are transportation issues, especially those dealing with the I-405/State Route 167 corridor project. “Our big efforts are transportation because it has an impact on everything,” she said Tuesday, adding that so

portunity to pay to use the high occupancy lanes, provides a source of revenue for construction projects, according to Shridhar, and both the House and the Senate are likely to continue the program. Renton is also lobbying the legislature to approve a Regional Mobility Grant of $1.28 million to provide funding for King County Metro’s RapidRide F line, which will connect downtown Renton with points west, including the Southcenter Mall, the Tukwila Sounder Station and downtown Burien. Shridhar said she expects the money to be part of the final budget. City officials are also concerned about the distribution of gas taxes. The city

supports the direct distribution to cities and counties who can then make the decision where the money can best be spent. Shridhar said that provision is still being debated. Another major request from Renton is money for the Central Sound Aerospace Training Center, an ambitious project that grew out of the city’s Chamber of Commerce moving from its Renton Municipal Airport location to its current building downtown. Initially, there was talk of a smaller facility, including a partnership with Renton Technical College that garnered a grant of $2.5 million from former Gov. Chris Gregoire. But following that, the project was reviewed and

far things seem to be “moving in the right direction” but there was still much to be decided in the budget. Shridhar said the top concern for the city was making sure that any savings that are gleaned from current road projects in the corridor stay in the corridor for use planning the next phase of the project. Shridhar said to date both the House and Senate are approving of keeping the savings in the corridor. The city is also in favor of continuing the SR 167 high occupancy toll (HOT) lane pilot program.

continuing the fund at a 50 percent level while the house supports retaining the full amount. The city is also in favor or retaining the annexation sales tax credit, which provides cities with a share of state sales tax funding after a city annexes a large area. “We believe that – hopefully – it will go through to the final budget,” she said. In the public-safety sector, the city supports continued support for gang prevention, which sets aside $500,000 statewide for cities to work on gang-related issues, of particular importance to cities in South King County. Finally, Renton is requesting $1 million to replace a pedestrian bridge over the Cedar River at Riverview park that has been damaged in the past by flooding. Presently the money is the senate budget and not the house budget, but Shridhar remains hopeful.
more players got involved, deciding the need for a training center was for a larger facility, including space for classrooms and mechanic bays that can fit a full fuselage. The city is now working with the Aerospace Futures Alliance and requesting an additional $10 million (for a total of $12.5 million) for the facility. Shridhar said the House and Senate have both approved $5 million for the center, but the governor is seeking the full amount. “We’re very hopeful there are enough representatives and senators that see the importance of doing this right,” she said. Renton is also one of the cities supporting the retention of a $10 million per year liquor excise tax fund. The current fund expires in October. Shridhar said the fund means nearly $1 million to the city’s coffers. Presently, the Senate favors

REACH Center of Hope to receive first family On May 28, Renton’s new REACH Center of Hope, a shelter for homeless women and children, will accept its first family. Last Friday afternoon, the project team, City of Renton staff and the community turned out for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of the center “You will be in the amazed by the renotransformation that vated has taken place.” and Rev. Linda Smith converted former jail in the basement of Renton City Hall. “You will be amazed by the transformation that has taken place,” Rev. Linda Smith said to the crowd. She is the director of the Center of Hope and has been leading the project with Maggie Breen, Renton Ecumenical Association of Churches’ executive director, for more than a year. When Smith and Breen were honored by Terry Higashiyama, Renton Community Services administrator, both credited the partnerships they formed and the many volunteers that helped make the project a reality. Renton Mayor Denis Law cited statistics that identi-

fied more than 300 kids counted as homeless in the city during the last check. Law called the Center of Hope a “tremendous effort; it’s a great first start,” he said. “This is going to be the promise of a better future for a lot of people,” Law said. The Center of Hope will provide day resources for homeless women and children. The new space has a kitchen, laundry facility, furnished meeting rooms, a library with materials for kids, a dressing room, bathrooms, showers, a common room and a conference room with a door for privacy during counseling and case management. Unlike most shelters, mothers will be able to stay with their children, including boys 12 years old and up. Families can use the center in the daytime and will be transported to a church that will host them overnight. St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, in Renton, will be the first to host a mother and her three children, who are expected on May 28. City Councilman Don Persson toured the center with other event attendees and was amazed by what he saw. When he was deputy police chief, Persson oversaw the construction of the jail at City Hall and managed it until he retired.
Dave Gillespie , a REACH volunteer, gives a tour of the new REACH Center of Hope.The new center is located in the former city jail in the bottom of Renton City Hall. It has been renovated to include new amenities like a library, meeting, dressing and conference rooms. It will function as a day center. TRACEY compton, Renton Reporter
“This is just an awesome use,” he said. “I never thought that they could make an old jail look this nice. They have done just a tremendous tremendous job. What an amenity for our kids and our community.” Breen said she was not surprised that the project came together so quickly and attributed its success to the partners involved and REACH’s credibility. “We have this credibility in the community and so people trust us when we ask, ‘Will you come help
with this?’,” she said. “They know that we’re about being

with people and not coming with any particular agenda. We just want to be with
the community and meet people where they have needs. So, people trust that.” It took the support of the City of Renton, Communities in Schools of Renton, Catholic Community Services, the Renton Library Board, the Friendly Kitchen, Church World Service, and Public Health – Seattle and King County to create the center, Breen said. She also thanked contractor Justin Jensen, who went above and beyond renovating the space. Jensen even donated a granite slab and carefully cut it to fit, as one of the countertops in a bathroom. Jensen, Michael Nolan, Dave Gillespie, Barb Anderson, Michael Thomas and Darlene Larson were
recognized by Higashiyama as individuals who volunteered their time to construct, organize, create graphics, paint and clean the center. Smith said she was excited about his accomplishment and had a deep sense of joy, knowing the Center of Hope is going to help families in need. “I just think it’s been amazing,” Smith said. “It’s everything and more than I’ve ever expected. I guess I can’t say enough about the overwhelming support in the community – everybody setting aside differences and coming together for a common purpose and cause.” Tracey Compton can reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5052.

Hazen’s season ends in 4-1 loss to Shorecrest By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
The Hazen Highlander soccer team’s 2013 season came to an end Saturday with a 4-1 loss to Shorecrest in the quarterfinals of the state tournament. The loss brings to a close the Highlanders best season since 2007. Shorecrest controlled much of the game, keeping much of the play in front of Hazen goalie Freddy Jeronimo, who played a strong game, but was ultimately overwhelmed by the Shorecrest attack. “Shorecrest is a very good team. They shut down everything that had made us successful this year,” said Hazen Coach Ken Matthews in an email. Shorecrest scored first and then took a 2-0 lead into the half. Hazen responded in the second half with a goal by senior forward Marcelo Castro off an assist from senior defender Angad Singh with about 31 minutes left to get the crowd back into the game.
The Highlanders also had a great chance to tie the game with about 13 minutes left when Castro lured the Shorecrest keeper out of the crease and dribbled a ball past him, but it rolled just right of the goal. Shorecrest went up for good with about five minutes left and then got an insurance goal on a penalty kick at about the three minute mark. The loss gave the Highlanders
a final record of 14-2-4. This year Hazen won the Seamount League, the sub-district championship and bi-district championship. Matthews credited the team’s seniors with helping them get this far. “I always feel for the seniors; especially this year because these guys were our guts, heart and soul. They came so far in such a short period,” Matthews said.
Senior keeper Freddy Jeronimo makes a save in the first half. Above, seniors Eddie Tim and Sam Bunnell console each other after the loss. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter According to Matthews, in the last two years the seniors helped the Highlanders to a 23-8-8 record, two league championships, a 4-0 playoff record, two state berths, and played in a quarterfinal game. In the previous two years, Hazen had 10-16-3 record. “There isn’t one of these guys we want to lose,” said Matthews.

early lead, picking up two runs in the first inning off starter Colin Metcalfe and then adding an additional run in the top of the third and fourth innings as pitcher Tanner Olson kept Lindbergh off the scoreboard. Metcalfe then settled in, pitching three scoreless frames and striking out four while walking one along the way. With their backs to the walls, Lindbergh rallied for four runs in the bottom of the seventh to knot the game at four apiece and send it into extra innings.
But pitcher Enrique Martinez, who relieved Metcalfe and pitched a scoreless seventh could not hold on, giving up two runs in the top of the eighth before being relieved by Cameron Callen, who also gave up a run. Martinez only gave up one hit during his time on the mound, but walked four, picking up the loss. Derrick Holt led the way at the dish for the Eagles, going 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run. Taylor Scarvie went 2-for-4 with an RBI of his own. Lindbergh finished the year with a 15-8 record.

WOMEN WILL BE DIAGNOSED
WITH BREAST CANCER
Breast cancer is easiest to cure when it’s detected early. Have you had your annual mammogram? If not, don’t delay! Call The Breast Center at Valley Medical Center today! 425.656.5588
Early Detection is the Best Protection The Breast Center at Valley is dedicated to helping our community win the battle against breast cancer. Early detection is the key to increasing treatment options and survival. In addition to an annual clinical exam and annual mammogram for women over the age of 40, a monthly selfbreast exam is recommended for all women aged 20 and older.
Healing Environment Warmed, lush gowns. A calm, comfortable and reassuring environment. Specialists at The Breast Center at Valley Medical Center understand the anxiety that often accompanies mammography and other diagnostic testing and we emphasize comfort, privacy, education and attention.
Advanced Technology & Expert Clinicians Radiologists at The Breast Center are experienced in women’s imaging offering advanced digital technology, including the R2 ImageChecker®, which provides a digital second opinion of your mammogram. Our extensive screening services include low-dose screening mammography, diagnostic mammography ultrasound and bone density testing. Should you need care beyond routine imaging, we also offer comprehensive services and collaborative, skilled practitioners to support and guide you every step of the way.
