City preparing to treat legal marijuana sales like liquor By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Renton City Council appears poised to treat marijuana and marijuana businesses the same way it treats liquor sales. The council coalesced around the suggestion rather quickly during Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, which featured an update on marijuana regulations from city attorney Larry

Warren. “I don’t see why we have to treat it any differently than liquor,” said Councilmember Rich Zwicker. “I tend to agree,” added council President Randy Corman. Voters last fall passed Initiative 502, legalizing the recreational use of marijuana in Washington. Since passage, many cities, including Renton, have been struggling with how to treat marijuana and marijuana-related business since

the drug remains illegal federally. “It’s chaos,” Warren said at the beginning of his briefing, adding, “This is out of our weight class.” Warren also drew the distinction between the medical marijuana industry, which is highly regulated throughout the state, and the coming recreational marijuana industry. On the recreational side, Warren said the council had to begin discussions now so when rules

from the Washington State Liquor Control Board go into effect in September, the city will have policies in place. Warren said an online resource for city attorneys has been jammed with discussion on the topic for the past year. There are three primary ways to deal with the industry, according to Warren: a moratorium, zoning or to do nothing and wait. Originally, the recommenda-

tion was toward a moratorium, but Warren said without a schedule on how and when they would deal with the issue, a moratorium may not hold up in court. It was as he began to talk about the zoning option – including the differences in growing, processing and retail – that Zwicker made his suggestion to simply handle the drug the same way the city handled liquor sales, since stores [ more marijuana page 7 ]

Hats off to the Class of 2013!

The Master Builder’s Association of King and Snohomish Counties is taking issue with the City of Renton’s preference for alleys as part of larger developments. The issue surfaced this week during the City Council’s Planning and Development Committee meeting and then again during the public comment portion of the City Council meeting Monday night. Representatives for the MBA, representing a member builder, is challenging the interpretation of the city code that calls alley access the “preferred street pattern” in Renton. According to Planning Director Chip Vincent, the city prefers alleys for four reasons: Public safety, pedestrian access, aesthetics and because Renton is an older city built on an established grid pattern using alleys. But the MBA is arguing that in areas outside of the downtown core, the alleys are not as necessary or desirable because they do not connect to a larger system. In addition, they dispute the public safety aspect. But the larger issue to the MBA is [ more ALLEYS page 5 ]

Chihuly fakes catch Renton man A 35-year-old Renton man pleaded guilty Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Seattle to wire fraud in connection with his scheme to advertise and sell fake Chihuly artwork. Michael Little admits he bought various pieces of generic glasswork and artwork over the internet and falsely claimed to buyers that it was authentic Dale Chihuly work, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. Little made at least $40,000 selling the fakes. Little will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik on Oct. 4. According to records in the case, between 2011 and April 2013, Little offered for sale or sold various pieces of glass art and paintings that he represented were the original work of

Think out of the “big box”– shop local and get more. THE HOME OF

Dale Chihuly, according to the press release. Little marketed the works on eBay. The artworks bore a signature that appeared to be Chihuly’s and Little provided paperwork that he said authenticated the pieces as the work of Dale Chihuly. However, an expert in Chihuly’s work examined the pieces at the request of a number of the purchasers and determined they were fakes. The papers that were supposed to authenticate the works were forged, according to the press release. Little told stories to potential buyers about how he had acquired the Chihuly work, including that his family had purchased the pieces after winning the lottery. Wire fraud is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The case was investigated by SeattleTacoma Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST Seattle), led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). BEST Seattle is comprised of members from HSI; U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Field Operations; the U.S. Secret Service; the U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service; the FBI; the U.S. Postal Inspection Service; and the Port of Seattle Police Department. BEST Seattle investigates smuggling and related crimes and combats criminal organizations seeking to exploit vulnerabilities at the Seattle and Tacoma seaports and adjacent waterways. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Matthew Diggs.

A 19-year-old Renton man was sentenced June 14 to 69 years in prison in the shooting death of a homeless man and the wounding of three other people at a Seattle bus stop in September 2011. Say Keodara was convicted earlier this month of one count of first-degree murder and three counts of first-degree assault. All four charges included firearm sentencing enhancements, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Keodara was also convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm, based on his previous felony conviction. The defendant tried to rob three homeless men at the bus shelter and became angry when they didn’t have any valuables or cash, according to prosecutors. A woman who had been waiting for a bus was also wounded in the shooting.

Four men have been charged with stealing copper wire in two incidents on public property at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Sound Transit light-rail lines. The charges were filed earlier this week. Two men, Jeramie Harms, 28, and Timothy Lynch, who allegedly stole thousands of feet of copper wire from runway light towers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport are in custody facing federal charges. Lynch is in custody on unrelated charges. The theft was discovered on Feb. 12, when a Port of Seattle employee noticed damage to the fence surrounding the runway light structures near South 188th Street and Des Moines Memorial Drive. In total, approximately 7,200 feet of copper cable was stolen from the FAA light towers, rendering them inoperable and potentially posing a threat to airline safety, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The men are charged with theft of public property which is punishable by up to 10

years in prison and a $250,000 fine. In the Sound Transit incident, two men were charged Monday with stealing 4.3 miles of copper wiring from the light-rail system, believed to be the largest metal theft in the state, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. The replacement cost of the 70,000 pounds of copper wire is estimated at $1.3 million so far. The two Seattle men, Donald Howard Turpin, 54, and Lee Russell Skelly, 44, were charged with second-degree burglary and first-degree trafficking in stolen property. Turpin is also charged with third-degree theft with a special sentencing aggravator, according to prosecutors. Neither man was in custody earlier in the week. The thefts occurred between November 2010 and August 2011. They were identified because of the Gatorade bottles they left behind.

The Seattle Metropolitan Police Museum hopes to publish a 700page book next year, with images from the 1920s through the 1960s, chronicling the life, culture and experiences of Seattle’s police force through the decades. Included in the photography will be photos taken by Renton Mayor Denis Law. About three months ago, Law donated more than 200 negatives to the museum. The photos captured hundreds of crime scenes and incidents, 20 years’ worth, from Law’s days as a co-publisher of seven Seattle community newspapers. What some may not know is that Law has won more than 250 state and national journalism awards, including for his news photography. Selected images from his donated collection will be used in the police museum’s book. “I think he’s got a wonderful eye for capturing the details and human aspect and the police work that was done over the years,” said Officer James Ritter of the Seattle Police Department. Ritter, who is also president and founder of the museum, has been collecting images for 20 years. Law’s photos are unique, Ritter said, because they speak to a reporter and police relationship not experienced Mayor Denis Law, right, donated dozens of photos from his time as a reporter covering by many in the press at the time. “Denis provided a unique look at the Seattle Police Department to be part of a new book.

Whenever he sees something interesting, if he has his camera with him, he takes pictures. Now his subjects are Renton wildlife and events such as River Days and the annual car show. He’s taken his photography abroad and captured visits to sister city Nishiwaki, Japan, and other personal travels to Europe with his family. Law enjoys self-publishing photo books through web sites like Shutterfly. He gives retiring city staff personalized photo books as a gift. “I’ve always enjoyed the photography aspect of publishing,” Law said. “To me, it’s always been really important because people really like it. They really enjoy seeing quality photography.”

Torero’s opening at The Landing By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

A Renton institution in family dining is getting a new look in a new location. Torero’s, formerly on Rainier Avenue downtown, will celebrate the grand opening of their restaurant at The Landing on June 28. “It’s the beginning of a new era for our family and for Torero’s and the next generation,” said Veronica Rodriguez Medina, owner. She is the daughter of Ted Rodriguez, longtime owner of the Mexican family restaurant chain. The family, which also includes Ted’s wife, Maria and son Adrian, has being operating Torero’s locally since 1979. “We’re excited; we’re all

excited for this,” Rodriguez Medina said. She has been running the Rainier location for the last 20 years and was presented with a unique opportunity, which prompted the recent move. Fred Meyer, the property owner for the Rainier location, needed Torero’s space to build a gas station there. Fred Meyer presented Torero’s with an option to move to a different location, still on the property, where the former liquor store used to be, next to Fred Meyer. Rodriguez Medina considered the liquor store space, a couple of other spaces on Rainier, the old Denny’s location and another spot on Airport Way, but ultimately picked The

Landing. “It’s growing and it’s kind of a cool place to come hang out,” she said. “And Renton has definitely shifted a little bit. Instead of everybody going to Rainier, (they) are kind of shopping that way,” she said, about The Landing retail center. “The silver lining was that we had choices to go to and we definitely thought that The Landing would fit us very well.” The Rainier location stayed strong, even weathering the recession, but took a hit during the recent construction to widen Rainier Avenue. Lunch time business, at that particular Torero’s location, took a dive. “The 20 years that we were there, we made things work, especially through the recession,” Rodriguez Medina said. “We came out ahead and we were able to go ahead and fund this construction through the sales of that store.” With the new restaurant comes a new look for the Torero’s chain. “The new look makes you feel like you’re on a patio,” said Ted Rodriguez. “It’s open.”

The menu will be updated slightly, to include new salads and steaks. There are plans to offer specials that feature more recently popular and traditional dishes, like molé. The familiar Torero’s fare will remain the same. “We’re known in Renton – for what – since ‘75 (before her dad took over), so can’t change anything that people keep coming back for,” she said. Her father is excited by the opportunity to be closer

to faithful Boeing customers, who’ve been coming to the Rainier location for lunch. The Boeing Renton plant is just steps away from The Landing. Rodriguez also likes the parking options and collection of retailers at the center. “I’m excited,” he said. “I’m very positive about moving here; I was not in the beginning.” Through the transition, there was no question the business would keep a location in Renton. “Renton – it was a no brainer; we had to stay in Renton,” said Rodriguez Medina. “The people of Renton have always showed us their love and we want to give it right back.”

Builders seek change to city’s alley ‘preference’

Tracey Compton, Renton Reporter the low-density areas. It also states “new development in areas without existing alleys shall utilize alley access on interior lots” unless it is not “practical,” a change from “feasible” in the current code. Vincent said the language simply clarifies the city’s administrative interpretation. “Were not changing our policy,” he said, saying the re-written section is designed to “put a finer point on defining what is practical and what is reasonable.” Huffman said prior to the current issue, there has been no enforcement of the alley requirement, which Vincent

disputes. “We don’t have a problem with alleys; we want to put them where they make sense,” Huffman said. “Don’t force them into a situation where it hurts us more than it helps us.” Initially, the Planning and Development Committee hoped the issue could be taken care of between the applicant and the city, but once it came up during the council meeting, committee chair Rich Zwicker immediately moved the issue be placed on a Committee of the Whole agenda so the whole council could discuss it.

that the builder they represent believes buyers do not want alleys, favoring larger lots with front access. “Alleys just don’t sell compared to the rest of the units,” said Garrett Huffman, Seattle and South King County manager for the MBAKS. “Homeowners are looking for a yard.” In addition the builder they represent, Henley Homes out of Australia, would have to do additional engineering to make their homes fit with alleys and would result in fewer houses being built. “The builder doesn’t have an alley-loaded product,” he said, adding “our contention is when you put the alley requirement in . . . you can’t put as many lots in the development.” The MBA is also challenging the administrative interpretation of the code that led to a project being sent back for re-design to include alleys. The code presently reads “Alley access is the preferred street pattern except for properties in the Residential Low Density land use designation. . . . Prior to approval of a plat without alley access, it shall be determined through an evaluation of alley layout that the use of alley(s) is not feasible.” It is the word “preference” that is hanging up the MBA. Because alleys are “preferred” and not “required,” the MBA wants more flexibility in its designs. “We don’t understand it,”

Huffman said. Vincent said the code does provide flexibility, but alleys are still “preferred.” Vincent said the case at hand is over a 22-acre parcel of land on which the company is looking to build. Vincent said they have seen multiple designs for the property, mainly with homes around the outside and two blocks in the middle. In some designs, the middle island have alleys while the outside ring does not. In the design currently supported by the MBA, there are no alleys in the middle islands. Vincent said the alley requirement is not new and the city requires them for all projects for which it makes sense but said they never required alleys in 100 percent of homes. “We’ve got a lot of history (with alleys),” he said. But Vincent is recommending a change in the city’s code to clarify and further define the preference. In the proposed change, it clearly states alleys are preferred for “all new residential development,” except

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“The easy answer is, ‘the public has spoken’,“ Renton Police Chief Kevin Milosevich on implementing the marijuana initiative

Our view

Council makes sensible decision to plan for, not fight, marijuana

enton City Council members are taking the only logical step about the legalization of marijuana – go ahead and sell it and smoke it. Those actions must be within the limit of the new law governing recreational marijuana use, of course. Really, the council doesn’t have a choice. Voters last fall approved the statewide Initiative 502 approving private use of the “soft” drug. There’s no use fighting the will of the people, especially when that will is clear cut and the result of a vote. Still clouding the issue statewide is the fact that federal law prohibits the possession of marijuana. But the council has taken an important policy step to deal with this newly legalized drug. The city will treat marijuana just like that other legalized drug – alcohol. Properly licensed retailers can sell it, based on regulations the Washington State Liquor Control Board is developing. Those regulations also will govern cultivation of marijuana. There’s no reason to reopen the debate about whether legalizing marijuana is in the public’s interest. There are tight controls – teens can’t smoke it legally and those who can can only possess specified small amounts or face arrest.

he City Council Monday night considered its options, such as a moratorium or controlling the location of sales through zoning. Those options were problematic. Instead, the council took the sensible approach to give clear policy direction, based on the initiative and using alcohol regulation as a template, and then let staff, including City Attorney Larry Warren, work out the details. The Police Department will continue to enforce the criminal aspects of marijuana use and the liquor board will ensure its regulations are followed by growers, distributors and sellers. We would hope (maybe demand) that marijuana retailers use every precaution possible to ensure that pot isn’t shoplifted or sold to minors. Marijuana is here to stay. The key is its sensible, and legal, use. It is a drug, after all, like alcohol and comes with similar dangers.

A child might feel unwanted because of divorce, the arrival of a new baby, or parents who focus too much on other priorities. She may feel unsafe due to repeated mental or physical abuse, or feel diminished because of verbal abuse, neglect, or competition with siblings. There could be the threat of drugs or alcohol in the home, peer pressure, or problems at school. Things such as pregnancy and sexuality will often lead a child to leave home because he/she fears the parents’ reaction. In the most recently updated trend report from Crisis Connections, the greatest increase in issues attributed to kids in crisis was economics. Our culture has sometimes glorified living on the streets, encouraging vulnerable kids to see running away as an adventure – an opportunity to be free of all responsibility. But in most cases, children who decide to leave home do so because they are running away from something, not to something. The very act of running away is a huge cry for help, a declaration that they have lost control over their lives and are striving to get it back. These children are looking for independence and a sense of power and control. Think about it. When you lack the ability to affect change in your life or to cope with the problems around you, the act of running away might offer a simple solution – just leave those problems behind. Once you’re on the streets, you’ll be making decisions for yourself and living by your own set of rules, not someone else’s. What these children don’t know is that the problems they will face on the streets are often far greater than the ones they face at home. Basic Lynn Bohart

OPINION

[6] June 21, 2013

things like food and safe shelter become priorities but difficult to find. The moment a child lands on the street, he becomes prey to anyone who would take advantage of him. And now the safety net, if he had one, is gone. Approximately 1.6 to 1.7 million children in the United States are determined to be homeless each year. Girls are more likely to run away than boys and the largest group of runaways is usually between 15 and 17 years old. There are different kinds of runaway kids. Situational runaways leave home because of a specific incident but return within a day or two. Chronic runaways leave home over and over again, staying away for longer and longer periods of times. Sometimes, these children never return. And, lastly, there are the “throwaways” –the kids whose families have kicked them out or abandoned them all together. Life on the streets is dangerous and a constant struggle to survive. The risk is great and it is real. These kids face the real possibility of malnutrition, disease, rape, physical abuse, theft, alcohol and drug abuse, unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, depression and more. What will they do to survive? Almost anything – including stealing, panhandling, dealing in drugs and prostitution, or posing for pornographic pictures. Over the next couple of months, we hope to delve more deeply into the world of the runaway youth right here in Renton – right outside our door. We will also explore the resources available to help not only the kids who run away, but their parents as well. Please join us on this enlightening journey.

Lynn Bohart is the executive director of the Renton Community Foundation that oversees a number of funds that provide financial or other kinds of support to those in need in Renton. She can be reached at lbohart@rentonfoundation.org.

Support for Heart Month 21 Club to hold golf fundraiser July 11 During the month of February the City of Renton Fire & Emergency Services Department, along with UW/Valley Medical Center, holds their annual “Heart Month” community outreach program throughout the city. The campaign is designed to increase public awareness about heart health and related cardiovascular conditions. Cardiovascular diseases, including stroke and high blood pressure, continue to be the nation’s No. 1 killer. In support of the program, Renton Fire & Emergency Services received a donation of $1,000 from the Fraternal Order of Eagles No. 1722. The grant was used to purchase supplies for the Renton Heart Month campaign, which will allow Fire Department crews to test nearly 2,000 residents of the greater Renton community. Since the Renton Heart Month campaign

began eight years ago, more than 49,000 residents of the Renton community have been tested for high blood pressure and high blood sugar. Test results revealed that 2,312 individuals were at a dangerous level for blood pressure, and 661 had elevated blood sugar levels. Of significant importance in 2013, Renton Fire & Emergency Services crews tested two six-year-old children, who were found to have elevated blood sugar levels. By detecting the elevated blood sugar early, these children can expect to live a long and productive life. Renton Fire & Emergency Services provides free blood pressure and blood sugar checks year-round at fire stations throughout the city. Residents are encouraged to visit their local fire station to have their blood pressure and blood sugar checked free of charge.

The 21 Club is holding its 10th annual golf tournament at the Renton Maplewood Golf Course on Thursday, July 11. The tournament is a four-person scramble format and 8 a.m. shotgun start. The entry fee will include green fees, golf cart, prizes, lunch, and a special 10th anniversary sweatshirt. The golf event helps support the 21 Club’s charitable events throughout the year. The 21 Club’s mission and goals are to help out needy Renton residents. Some of its charitable activities include sending kids to camp, adopting families at Christmas

time, supporting the Renton Rotary Salvation Army Food Bank and Renton Kiwanis Clothes Bank and helping senior citizens. Sonny Sixkiller, the former University of Washington all-American quarterback, is the president of the 21 Club. Immediately following the tournament there will be an awards presentation and luncheon at the Renton VFW Hall. The tournament is a casual event and open to golfers of all skill levels. For an entry form and additional information contact Doug Tulip at 425-277-1841 or Glenn Knowle at 425-277-1717.

Council approach to marijuana businesses called ‘easy’ would be licensed through the same state authority anyway. Warren called that approach “easy.” “There’s no need to make it unduly complicated if you decide it’s just another agricultural and retail business,” he said. Councilmember Don Persson called it a “reasonable approach,” though he said he would like the council to at least consider a smoking ban in parks, not just on marijuana but on everything.

There were some questions about complaints and how the police department would handle them, but Chief Kevin Milosevich said any complaints about marijuana usage or smells – aside from those involving teens, for whom it is still illegal – would most likely be referred to the Liquor Control Board, which will be handling the licensing and regulating of businesses. “The easy answer is ‘the public has spoken,’” Milosevich said.

We had struggled with a couple of daycares closing in our first 18 months as parents. Short on time to find care for our son, we found out about Family Circle. We liked that they have been around for many years, offered flexible scheduling with a comfortable setting and there was no long wait period to start. Ironically, only after getting our son signed up, Bryan remembered he had been to the same daycare when he was young. Now that our son has been there for a couple years, we appreciate the inclusive, learning focused environment that retains the friendly feel of a neighborhood daycare. The teachers are very calm and caring, getting to know our son on a personal level and ask about him even after moving to the next class. Based on this experience, we had no hesitation to bring our youngest starting at only 3 months old.’ Courtney & Bryan Taylor

Renton schools’ 2013 class now graduates By RENTON STAFF

The Renton School District is responsible for introducing more than 800 new high school graduates into the world, after last Thursday’s graduation ceremonies at ShoWare Center in Kent. Renton High School kicked off the celebrations, with commencement exercises at noon. It was Principal Damien Pattenaude’s last graduation as head of that school.

ficer for High Schools. Student speakers spoke of pride in their school and the accomplishments of the Class of 2013 and of the relationships that they had developed with each other. Renton High’s motto is “Pride, Tradition and Excellence.” “I know your possibilities are limitless,” interim Supt. Vera Risdon told the graduates “You are ready for the opportunities that will come your way.” In his remarks Pattenaude, and on behalf of the Class of 2013, thanks

parents, loved ones and family who supported the graduates. “Never doubt that your love, support, encouragement and discipline have helped guide your graduate from childhood to adulthood and from dependence to independence.” And he spoke directly to the graduates: “Class of 2013, I firmly believe that if you work hard, do your best and never give up, that you will have every opportunity to succeed in whatever you choose to do in life.” Next, Lindbergh celebrated in style, with graduation at 3:30 p.m. at ShoWare. The school’s 40th annual graduation ceremony went off without a hitch, bringing an end to the high school careers of approximately 275 Eagles. Speakers included Principal Tres Genger, ASB president Monique Smith, Korrie Collins, Jahan Green, Senior Class President Maria Cornell and Superintendent Vera Risdon. The day of reflection and celebration, was also the last graduation ceremonies that Risdon, would preside over in any official capacity for the school district. She has been serving as interim superintendent this year, since Mary Alice Heuschel left to become Gov. Inslee’s chief of staff. Risdon retires this year, after serving her entire career with the Renton School district, some 47 years. Music was provided by the Lindbergh High School Band and Orchestra and the choir. Hazen High School closed the day’s graduations with more than 300 seniors Thursday night at ShoWare. Preceded by bagpiper Tyrone Heade, faculty and district staff filed into the arena, took the stage and prepared to accept the class of 2013. Students marched into ShoWare, wearing big smiles with their blue and gold caps and gowns. Principal John Kniseley encouraged the seniors with a speech about the number 13 and the successful space mission of Apollo 13. He noted the day’s date, June 13, 2013, and how the students have overcome odds to make it to commencement. Student speakers included Kyle Nelson, Jona[ more GRADS page 9 ]

than Fortescue and Keith Beasley. School Board member Al Talley reminded the graduates to respect their parents and themselves and remember the district staff, who have supported them through their education thus far. There were hugs, photos, candy, money and flower leis and a boisterous mob scene outside of ShoWare, once the graduates were released.

Graduation 2013 took place from noon to after 9 p.m., June 13, at ShoWare Center in Kent. The red and white gowns of Renton High, the navy and red gowns of Lindbergh and the gold and blue gowns of Hazen paraded for all to see. photos by dEAN RADFORD, BRIAN BECKLEY, TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter

When it became obvious the game would not go their way, he shared with the Athletics, who celebrated like Big Leaguers.

Bear hugs subdue two shoplifters at Walmart dradford@rentonreporter.com

Three Walmart security officers subdued a man and a woman who walked from the Rainier Avenue store June 7 without paying for the hair-care products concealed in the woman’s purse. A security officer watched as the 27-year-old Buckley woman picked up three jars of hair product at about 1:25 p.m. She met up with the 25-year-old Kent man in the CRIME alert pharmacy department and This week’s… walked together to intimate apparel. There, the woman held open her purse, while the man concealed the products inside. They then walked from the store. A security officer attempted to stop the two, but the couple just kept walking. He grabbed the woman’s arm and the Kent man stepped in between the officer and the woman. The man grabbed the officer’s neck and the woman hit him in the face and neck. She didn’t let go of the purse. A third security officer then grabbed the Kent man, who said he had a knife. Two security officers subdued the man, with one placing him in a bear hug. The third officer placed the woman in a bear hug after she dropped the purse. A three-inch knife and a knife on a key ring were found on the man by police officers. The two were booked into the King County Jail for investigation of felony first-degree robbery.

Police Blotter

Here’s more proof that dogs are not always man’s – or woman’s – best friend. A woman sunbathing at the Cedar River beach at the Renton Community Center flagged down an officer June 5 to report that her small white poodle apparently had bitten a 7-year-old girl. She awoke to find the poodle standing between her and the girl, with the officer suspected was a defensive post. The dog was supposed to have been secured by her step-son away from the beach. The officer didn’t see any broken skin, but there was slight swelling in an oval pattern about the size of the dog’s upper front teeth. And below were two indents consistent with lower canine teeth. The officer found the dog with the step-son in the car; the dog showed no aggression. The officer decided the dog was protecting its owner.

Kelly Malsam ATTORNEY AT LAW

15 S. Grady Way, Suite 400 Renton

Man, not kids, does the harassing Upon further investigation, it turns out a man was harassing a bunch of young boys the night of June 7, not vice versa as he told a Renton Police officer. The 58-year-old Renton man told an officer he was walking in the 2800 block of Northeast Sunset Boulevard at about 10:15 p.m. when some kids about 11 to 13 years old called him a “crackhead.” He responded by saying the kids must not have much respect for their fathers. He said the kids threw rocks at him. He told officers the kids ran toward a nearby apartment but only a couple and their infant lived there. The man was intoxicated and angry he couldn’t go with the officer to the apartment. The manager of a nearby business told the officer the kids didn’t say anything to him, but the man was harassing them. He was trespassed from a nearby restaurant and cited for shoplifting from another business.

Duck Hunt kicks off 28th annual River Days celebration

www.rentonreporter.com

Duck Hunt 2013: ‘A Midsummer Flight’s Dream by William Drakespeare’ Here is the official game board for this year’s fourth annual Duck Hunt, designed exclusively for the city by Renton’s Lone Shark Games. After you solve the clues, which will be available on the Renton River Days, Duck Hunt Clues and Renton Reporter Facebook pages, as well as www.rentonreporter.com, take this board with you to collect stamps for each duck you find and use the squares below to draw in this year’s puzzle pieces for a Shakespeare-inspried surprise.

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

It’s time once again to get quacking on this year’s Renton River Days Duck Hunt! Thirty of the little yellow River Days mascots will be appearing at businesses around the city in the next few weeks, with clues to their location being posted on various websites, including the Renton Reporter’s. This is the fourth year for the Duck Hunt, run by Renton’s Lone Shark Games for the city. This year’s theme is “’A Midsummer Flight’s Dream’ by William Drakespeare,” and all of the ducks are named for characters from Shakespeare plays, from Romeo and Juliet to MacDuff and Falstaff. The ducks will be decorated by local businesses and the clues will lead hunters to their locations. At each business hunters can collect stamps from the business. The more stamps you collect, the more entries into the prize drawing at River Days you earn. This year, Lone Shark has added an additional wrinkle: each business will also have one square of a puzzle board and entrants are encouraged to draw that section of the puzzle onto their game board. When correctly assembled, the puzzle will form a whole image, designed specifically for this year’s hunt. Hunters can bring their completed game boards to the Duck Hunt booth at River Days to be entered for the grand-prize drawing. This year’s hunt begins today, Friday, so watch for clues on the Renton River Days and Duck Hunt Clues Facebook pages, as well as the Rentonreporter.com and the Renton Reporter Facebook page. The 28th annual Renton River Days celebration is scheduled for July 26-28 in Liberty Park. To comment on this story view it online at www.rentonreporter.com.

Anticavity Tip: Water consumption is the most effective way to slow cavity progression in children because of its natural ability to reduce intraoral acidity and cleanse the mouth. How much water is enough? As a general rule, the amount of water your child should consume (ounces) a day is equal to half their total body weight in pounds. Example: 28 pound child = 14 ounces or 2 cups; 46 pound child = 23 ounces or 3 cups.

Stuart Avery sees a need for ‘a fresh breath’ on City Council

summer celebrations. “We are a city rich on history and tradition, with a strong sense of community. It has been said by many, we are a big city with a small town personality,” he wrote, noting Renton, with more than 90,000 residents, is the county’s fourth-largest city. “Renton is ripe with opportunity, calling for strong leadership and a sense of direction. As Renton maneuvers out of a lengthy economic downturn, we must recommit to sound fiscal principles,” he writes. The city must make good on the commitments to those communities which have become part of Renton through annexations, he wrote. “We must continue to fully support our educators, and service providers, and continue to work at improving the business climate for our small business owners,” he wrote. “We must encourage participation and partner with community members willing to vest themselves in the success of our city. And we must engage our youth and young adults, understanding they are the future of this city.” Avery writes that it’s “time for a fresh breath on the council, a voice of common sense not motivated by political gain, but rather by a deep sense of service and stewardship.” Avery’s campaign website is www.averyforrenton.org.

Stuart Avery in filing for a seat on the Renton City Council said it’s time for a “fresh breath” on the council. Avery is running for council Position 2 against Armondo Pavone for the seat now held by Rich Zwicker, who decided not to seek re-election. As there are only two candidates, their names will only appear on the general election ballot in November. Avery said he decided to run after “great consideration, prayer and reflection.” Avery is a community volunteer and a key leader in the petition drive and election campaign that ultimately led to the preservation of the library Stuart Avery over the Cedar River. He’s a regular volunteer at the Renton Salvation Army’s Community Supper and is active in the New Life Church. He volunteers for Birthday Dreams, co-founded by his wife Shannon. Avery and his family have lived in Renton for 18 years. He is vice president, operations, for MIE Corporation. In his announcement Avery writes that he has met “many wonderful people” through his community service and volunteer roles. But he writes he hopes to meet more people, including at the Renton

Hazen’s Sam Bunnell named state 3A MVP By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Hazen senior forward Sam Bunnell was named the class 3A MVP by the Washington State Soccer Coaches Association. He was also selected for the class 3A first team. This year, Bunnell was named captain and led the Highlanders to a 14-2-4 overall record and Seamount League championship, posting an undefeated 11-0-3 record in league play.

The Highlanders also won the district and bi-district championships, making their way to the state tournament quarterfinals, where they lost to Shorecrest, who finished second to Bonney Lake in the tournament. “It may be hard for most of you to believe but Sam’s accomplishments have pretty much left me speechless!” Coach Ken Matthews said in an email. “Thank you, Sam, for all you accomplished for Hazen Soccer. It has been an extreme pleasure to be your coach.” This year, Bunnell started all 20 of the Highlanders games. He scored 27 goals and had 12 assists, including five game-winning goals and two game-winning assists. He also won the Seamount League MVP and was the WIAA Athlete of the Week in March. Bunnell graduated last week with a 3.41 GPA and will play soccer at Southern Virginia University this fall.
