The new school zone cameras expected to be installed by the start of school two weeks ago have been delayed and are now expected to be up and running by November, with the first tickets to go out around the first of the year. The city is looking to add school zone cameras at Honey Dew Elementary on Union Avenue Northeast, Cascade Elementary School on 116th Avenue Southeast and Benson Hill Elementary, also on 116th Avenue Southeast, but according to Patrol Services Division Commander Clark Wilcox, the delay with the new school zone cameras is that [ more cameras page 4 ]

hirty-five injured military veterans and their families had a chance to get out on Lake Washington Saturday morning as part of the “Take a Warrior Fishing” program. Created as a spin-off of the Catch A Special Thrill, or C.A.S.T for Kids program, created more than 20 years ago by Renton resident Jim Owens, the event pairs volunteer fishermen with injured veterans for a few hours casting and catching out on the water. Several of the “Wounded Warriors” and their famiiies brought back buckets full of bass and perch, pulled from Lake Washington. “It was fun,” said 12-year U.S. Army veteran Jerry Ewell. Ewell was last deployed in Iraq, where he injured his back, and has been home for a about a year. “It was great; I love to fish,” agreed U.S. Army veteran Mark Brasel, who was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan five times. Brasel said he was burnt by white phosphorous and suffered a brain injury while on duty. He has been stateside since 2009 and is doing better. “I’m recovering,” he said. Brasel and his wife were out on the lake with C.A.S.T.

Beginning later this month, the City of Renton will try a new tactic to collect on outstanding warrants: shame. During the week of Sept. 30, the city will be posting on its website the names of about 2,500 people with outstanding warrants and a second list of those with outstanding tickets from red light camera violations. The hope is that people will contact the city to pay their debts to avoid the public embarrassment. “We have a lot of outstanding warrants and they just sit in a drawer, so to speak,” said Councilman and Public Safety Committee Chair Don Persson. “No one is actively going out door-to-door looking for these people.” Persson, a former Renton police assistant chief, said the city had some success in the past with a similar program called “Renton’s Most Wanted” that led to many of those on the list looking to get their name off of said list. “You can’t believe the phones that rang off the hook in the court with people not wanting their name out there,” he said. Persson said the success of that program made him want to try again and since outstanding warrants are simply [ more Warrants page 4 ]

Cancer-free, trooper returns to work By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Washington State Trooper Renee Padgett of Renton is headed back to work, her cancer in remission and her strength returning. She planned to return to light duty this week parttime and could resume work full-time in March, depending on how well her immune system rebuilds from a stem-cell transplant. Initially, she’ll do office work for her division but her goal is to get back on the road. “I love my job,” she said. For 15 years Padgett has Trooper Padgett worked closely with local agencies in her role as the state patrol’s wrecking-yard inspector in King County. She’s part of patrol’s Commercial Vehicle Division. Through her efforts, an innovative new program called Homeward Bound was started, designed to help locate and bring home some of the approximately 23,000 children who are reported missing in the state each year. The program is a partnership with Gordon Trucking of Pacific. In May 2012 Padgett, 45, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called multiple myeloma, which is a cancer of plasma cells, a

Renee Padgett lives in Renton with her two children, Gedeon, 11, left, and Olivia, 7. Submitted type of white-blood cell in bone marrow. For her two children, Gedeon, 11, and Olivia, 7, the seriousness of Padgett’s illness hit home when she lost all her hair right before the stem-cell transplant at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. “I think it was a shock,” she said, when they realized she was sick. Now, her kids like the fact her hair is growing back. Padgett’s days have been filled with trips to the doctor and hospitals. This summer, with the help of some charitable organizations, Padgett’s children attended camps offered by the City of Renton while she underwent treatment and followup care.

Renton police get non-emergency phone number

The good news came in March that she was cancerfree, following the stemcell transplant, something neither she nor her doctors were expecting. “I am in remission,” she said, but there is no cure for her cancer. She was started on maintenance chemotherapy, which she couldn’t tolerate and has started other treatment, she said. A cough has lasted for about four months. Doctors will continue to monitor her condition closely, but Padgett knows patients will relapse, usually within 24 to 36 months. Her goal is years. She could undergo a second stem-cell treatment and doctors could consider more maintenance chemo-

number, 425-235-2121, is for nonemergency situations where police, fire department, or animal control is needed. Some reports, such as lost property, abandoned vehicles, theft and vandalism under $1,500, and non-injury hit-and-run accidents

ing Gordon Trucking. The idea is to place posters of children who are missing on the side of trucks. New posters are on order, so four or five new children will be added to the program. Thursday she was to go to Gordon Trucking for a driver-appreciation event. Through her months of treatment she’s stayed positive and has had the support of friends, family, wrecking yards and police and fire departments – and the state patrol. “I am very thankful the department has bent over backward to help me,” she said. The State Patrol Chief John Batiste was at her side when she finished the More Birthdays For Renee 5K fundraiser on April 21. It was sponsored by Cops with Cancer, along with Lakewood Officers’ Charity, WSP Troopers Association, FOP Lodge 27 Green River Valley, Gordon Trucking Inc., Quality Towing, Budget Auto and Truck Wrecking and Washington’s Most Wanted. Padgett’s race is still not over. “My mind is ready to go, but my body isn’t yet ready,” she said.

therapy again as a preventive measure. “I worked really hard,” Padgett said. “I want to stick around.” She has started physical therapy and occupational therapy to help regain her strength to return to work part-time. Rebuilding her immune system will take time, which is why she must wait to work fulltime. The chemotherapy drug Melphalan given before a stem-cell transplant “kills your entire system down to nothing.” After she’s given back her stem cells, the immune system must rebuild from scratch. She likens her immune system to that of a newborn baby. “All my immunizations have been washed away and I must start from the beginning,” she said. Padgett has also lost about three inches in height. In intense pain on May 17, 2012, she went to the emergency room, where doctors discovered a tumor on her spine that had caused four discs to collapse on top of each other. Such bone compression is one of the symptoms of the cancer. The surgery went well and the pain is gone. She went from 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-4 1/2. Her upper body “got squashed,” she said, but her pants still fit. Padgett met recently with others involved with Homeward Bound, includ-

Valley Medical plans changes to employee retirement plans Union leaders claim decision to end pension violates state labor laws By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Valley Medical Center will change its retirement plan for its employees that it says will save millions of dollars for the hospital hit hard by uncompensated care, a move one union says violates the law. The plan will end Valley’s traditional pension and instead the medical center will make a 2 percent match to an employee’s contribution to an existing self-directed retirement plan, among other new provisions. For the two years ending on June 30, 2015, the new retirement plan will save the hospital about $12 million, according to Karyn Beckley, senior vice president for human resources and marketing. “We believe we have developed a great contemporary

Phone and Internet Discounts Available to CenturyLink Customers The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission designated CenturyLink as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier within its service area for universal service purposes. CenturyLink’s basic local service rates for residential voice lines are $13.50 per month and business services are $30.00 per month. Specific rates will be provided upon request. CenturyLink participates in a government benefit program (Lifeline) to make residential telephone service more affordable to eligible low-income individuals and families. Eligible customers are those that meet eligibility standards as defined by the FCC and state commissions. Residents who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain additional federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone per household, which can be either a wireline or wireless telephone. A household is defined for the purposes of the Lifeline program as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. Lifeline service is not transferable, and only eligible consumers may enroll in the program. Consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain Lifeline telephone service can be punished by fine or imprisonment and can be barred from the program. Lifeline eligible subscribers may also reliable home High-Speed Internet to 1.5 Mbps for $9.95* per month for months of service. Further details are centurylink.com/internetbasics.

retirement program, at the top of the market, which will help you plan for a secure retirement,” Rich Roodman, Valley Medical Center’s CEO, wrote in a letter to employees last week. But the largest union at Valley Medical, the Service Employees International Union, Healthcare 1199 Northwest, has raised concerns about the retirement plan, maintaining labor law is violated. Three SEIU contracts at Valley Medical also expire on June 30, 2015. Valley Medical Center has about 2,900 employees, approximately 2,100 of whom are represented by one of four unions at the hospital. SEIU represents about 1,400 Valley employees. The plan will go into effect on Sept. 29 for non-bargaining-unit employees and on Oct. 27 for physicians who are employed by the hospital. Hospital staff has met with hospital employees at several forums to explain the new retirement plan. Valley Medical Center has sent letters to the four unions, asking to begin talks about implementing a new retirement plan, possibly the one now available to non-union members. Beckley indicated that Valley Medical is not asking that the unions reopen contract negotiations. However, she pointed out that Valley Medical Center has the contractual right to terminate the retirement plans with the unions.

a public record, there is no problem with publishing them on the city’s website. According to Court Services Director Bonnie Woodrow, who put together the list at the request of the council earlier this year, there is approximately $12 million in unpaid fines and warrants on the 50-page list expected to go live in two weeks. There are approximately $3 million in unpaid photo enforcement fines. Persson said he thinks 99 percent of those who get ticketed or arrested take care of their debts, but the remainder are fair game. “The 1-percenters we should try and go after in some way,” he said.

“I would say that it is our goal and our desire for all of our employees to have a top-tier retirement program,” Beckley said. The hospital wants to preserve jobs, but at the same time is facing financial challenges, including the cost of healthcare reform and absorbing the millions of dollars in costs not covered by insurance, known as uncompensated care. Valley Medical has not updated its retirement plan since 1967. Diane Sosne, president of SEIU Healthcare 1199NW, said in a statement Wednesday that nurse and health-care workers are proud to work at Valley Medical and provide quality patient care. “We are surprised Valley Medical Center would violate labor law to unilaterally implement a change to the pension,” she wrote. She suggested that “collaborating to successfully implement the Affordable Care Act is the best way to meet the healthcare needs of our community.” “Heavy handed maneuvers are out of character with this employer and we think violating signed contracts with employees is not in the best interest of patients who utilize this hospital,” she wrote. She pointed out that the union and Valley Medical have worked in the past to meet challenges, “and we would expect to do so going forward.”

Persson and his fellow Public Safety Committee members, Terri Briere and Marice Palmer, all praised the project. “I think it’s a great idea,” Palmer said Tuesday. Palmer said she thought “public pressure” and “a little embarrassment” might cause some folks to take care of their debts. “Somebody might see their name,” she said. Both Palmer and Persson also said that since it does not cost the city anything to run the report and put it on the website, there was no reason not to try it. “I think it’s always good to try something different,” Palmer said, adding “we’re not out anything.”

[ cameras from page 1] some of the needed equipment is on back order. The equipment is expected to be in by the end of this month to allow the city’s Transportation Services Department to begin installing the devices. Police Chief Kevin Milosevich told the City Council’s Committee of the Whole that once the equipment arrives, the Transportation Department will begin installing them, with the hope of having the cameras online by November and fully operational by Jan. 1. The city has also removed the cameras in the school zone at Renton High School. Earlier this year, the city said the issue there was less speeding and more jaywalking. Police have increased patrols at the high school, Milosevich said, and are issuing citations instead of the camera tickets.

REACH center a nice option for single moms when life gets to ‘DEFCON One’

Your Residential Specialists 206-949-1696 info@marciemaxwell.com Thinking About Selling? call us to discuss!

Columnist Carolyn Ossorio takes a tour of the REACH Center of Hope with her children. The shelter for women and children opened in May. submitted area were pleasantly dimmed and the chairs were comfy. It was easy to see that care had been taken to make visitors feel welcome, as if you were entering someone’s home. Jennifer shook her head and waived us past two computers set up for clients to search for housing, jobs and access community resources. We moved on to the kitchen, run by volunteers from Renton’s Friendly Kitchen, where nutritious breakfast, lunch and after school snacks are prepared. My daughter Amelia was designated as my camera woman and I talked with Jennifer as she snapped shots of the industrial-sized washing machine and dryer set that the city had donated, a remnant from the spaces previous incarnation as a jail. We also peeked inside a thinly stocked walk-in refrigerator. Jennifer shared the story of a local homeless mother with a baby who at night sought the refuge of a Porta Potty where she would sit in front of the locked door. “Which is why we’re so grateful that you’re writing about the program,” Jennifer said. “We haven’t gotten a lot of publicity and we’re anxious to get the word out that we’re here to help. There aren’t many resources in the south end for homeless women and children.” Though there are no windows or doors, save the front entrance, I walked over to an artfully painted window pane with a cheerful looking bird inside. “We’re here to provide love and caring support and help the women get back on their feet,” Jennifer said, her voice was calm and reassuring. Just the kind of person you’d want help from in a desperate situation. Next to the painted window was a sprawling, deliciously colorful mural of birds, a cerulean sky and a glowing yellow sun. In fact, each space we encountered, from the children’s library, to gymstyled shower stalls, were comforting and creative - the ordinary elevated to the extraordinary, through freebies and volunteers. In the media room there were a couple of girls Amelia and Sophie’s age

(9 and 13) who were laughing, as they played Monopoly with Jennifer’s son. “Mom, those girls don’t look like they’re homeless,” my daughter whispered as she folded her hand into mine. “What does being homeless kids look like?” I asked. She shrugged. “Tonight those girls will sleep in temporary beds at a local church and be brought back here in the morning until their mom can find a home and a job.” “Will they do that even when school starts again?” my daughter probed. I nodded. “Mom, it’s not right that they don’t have a home,” she said with conviction. “What’s this like for your son?” I asked Jennifer, who volunteers twice a week, often bringing along her son and daughter to help at the Center. “He understands that he’s serving…,” Jennifer said. “And he feels good about it. It’s nice that he can give the kids who are here a kind of normalcy.” Before we left, I needed to feed baby. So I sat in a rocking chair in the library and watched on as my kids read books and played. I couldn’t stop thinking of that mom and her baby spending night after night in a Porta Potty. I was fighting back tears when Jennifer appeared in the doorway, a smile on her face. Her smile reminded me that you can never underestimate the healing power of kindness. “Ya’ll need anything?” she asked. “We’re doing just fine,” I answered back. If you’re a mom with children, REACH isn’t ever a place you want to go. But, it’s good to know that if you ever find yourself at DEFCON One, standing in the lobby of City Hall with an old phone in your hand asking for help, there are people at the other end of the line, like Jennifer, waiting to help you. I love suggestions! If you know of people or places in Renton that surprise, delight and inspire the community, drop me a line at carolyn@pippimamma. com.

LIFE IN THE CITY

“Honey, you pick up the phone over there,” the receptionist said to me, pointing across the lobby. My kids and I were at Renton City Hall to tour the REACH Center of Hope, a day shelter in Renton that also provides hot showers, food, vocational and professional services and a loving supportive community. At night, moms and their kids are shuttled to a local church that provides dinner and a temporary place to sleep. My kids followed me as I walked over to a utilitarian phone that was bolted to the wall. It was the kind of receiver Ronald Reagan could have picked up in the middle of the night to be alerted the United States was at DEFCON One. Standing in the City Hall lobby, phone in hand, my kids surrounding me on all sides, a newborn wrapped up close to my chest, it occurred to me. If I were a homeless mom making this call, I would absolutely feel like my world was coming to an end. “Can you come get us?” I asked the voice inside the phone. Then the receptionist approached with a large bag. “Can the kids have candy,” she said. I felt myself relax. “Please, each of you take two,” she said, her voice betrayed a kind of quiet desperation to please. It dawned on me that she probably thought I was a homeless mom seeking sanctuary at REACH instead of a columnist, here to write a story for “Life in the City,” my column, with my five children. As a parent and fellow human, it’s important for me to have my kids experience what it’s like to walk in someone else’s shoes for a bit, even if those shoes are uncomfortable. Life in most American cities is surely not just about fun family adventures. Otherwise, how else can kids really learn empathy and feel the desire to help other people in their hearts? That sentiment is just one of REACH’s missions: “Allying ourselves with, and advocating for, those whose dignity and worth is compromised through lack of resources.” A REACH volunteer greeted us and escorted us. We passed several security checkpoints that required card keys. It felt a little like we were being taken to an underground bunker. At the REACH reception area, we met Jennifer White, our tour guide. “Jennifer, why don’t you take me through the tour as if I were a homeless mother showing up here with my kids for help,” I said.

Kindergarten/politics 101: Don’t make promises that you can’t keep I was talking to a politician recently who has been through many campaign wars and he made a simple but cogent point about running for office: “Don’t promise what you can’t deliver.” That declarative sentence may be one of the more overlooked or misunderstood tactics first-time candidates run up against. This person mentioned above is probably one of the most trusted politicians I know and the reasons are he delivers and doesn’t play the political shell game. That’s a lot harder than it sounds for a candidate new to the game. Usually, candidates running for local office get sucked into the vortex of pleasing constituents with blue sky. Community cranks start in like a 1960 Volkswagen with a bad starter and, for the inexperienced, it is difficult to say no – politely and politically. Here is a good rule for someone who really wants to get elected and then sees that wish come true. The guy standing on the street corner with a tinfoil hat and a burlap bag of potatoes from Mars has more ability to get things done. Council and commission seats are legislative bodies that decide (or can’t decide) and work through consensus and coalition. Coalition building is often poorly understood or attempted at the local level. All that listening and compromising goes against nature. We are all too often in a legislative milieu of, “there are my facts, and your facts that are all wrong. But it is OK for you to believe in facts that are dumb.” Understanding the limits of the legislative process and the body where one serves is essential. Many of the problems that arise in the governing process come when officials, willfully or not, balk at accepting their roles and the limits of power. So much of our government is about limiting power. Voters would be best served if they know what an official can do and what they should not promise. After talking to the political warrior, I came up with another of my Twilight Zone theories regarding political science. Electing a politician is like getting married. There are always lots of promises, and then comes a time when a couple actually has to live with each other – every day. Imagine what a mess men would be in if a women could vote them out after two years for fakey promises not kept. It is kindergarten rules 101 – don’t make promises you can’t keep.

Keeping our rails on track For activists intent on stopping all use of fossil fuel, train safety has become their cause du jour. After all, if you can block transport of fossil fuels, you can choke off their use. If they succeed, it’s not clear how we will heat and light our homes and schools, get to work, run businesses, keep the hospitals operating, stock grocery stores or harvest crops — but apparently, that’s an inconvenient question for another day. America’s rail system has undergone a transformation over the last 40 years. In 1970, the once grand railroads of the Northeast were dilapidated; the iconic Penn Central railroad was in collapse. The PC was losing over $1 million a day; poorly trained dispatchers literally lost trains throughout the system. When the flow of red ink became a flood, managers started deferring maintenance; derailments became the norm. To reduce accidents, speeds on large sections of track were reduced to 10 mph. Freight traffic slowed to a crawl. It was the low point of the American rail system. Today, the picture is very different. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. trains carried goods and people more than 740 million miles last year. Rail has once again become a major commuter option, logging more than 20.5 billion passenger miles in 2012. As technology and oversight have improved, the railroads have amassed a good safety record, even as rail traffic has increased. The FRA reports that in 2012 there was one derailment for every 582,167 miles traveled, one fatality per 82 million miles, and 2.65 accidents at rail crossings for every million miles traveled. Our state Department of Transportation notes, “Rail is a safe and efficient way to move both people and goods. Freight trains reduce the number of large trucks on our congested highways, and for passengers, it is more than 23 times safer than traveling by car.” Don Brunell

OPINION

[6] September 20, 2013

Why are these statistics important? Rail traffic plays a major role in trade, and trade plays a major role in Washington’s economy. Per capita, we are the nation’s top exporter. The potential is even greater today because Montana and Wyoming coal, which is cleaner than many other varieties produced around the world, is in demand. Exporting coal from Washington and Oregon would add more than 11,000 new jobs and $115 million in payroll. Just one oil terminal in Vancouver could generate up to 250 construction jobs and up to 120 permanent full-time positions, primarily from the local community. The bottom line is, if we don’t build the shipping terminals here, the trains will simply go through Washington to Canadian ports, taking the jobs with them. To enhance safety, railroads have invested heavily in technologies that provide advance notice of potential problems. Some of these technologies include wheel impact detectors, wheel journal detectors and detector cars that X-ray the rails for metal defects. These and other technologies have significantly reduced derailments over the past 20 years. The Association of American Railroads reports that, in 2012, 99.9977 percent of all rail-shipped hazardous materials, including oil, reached their destination without an accidentrelated spill — and that railroads spill less liquid hazmat product than trucks or pipelines Multiple federal agencies regulate the movement of hazardous materials by rail, including the Federal Railroad Administration, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the Transportation Security Administration. The federal government also requires railroads to route hazardous materials on lines posing the least safety and security risk. Will all this guarantee that there will never be an accident? Of course not. But it’s important to keep things in perspective so we can make informed judgments about issues that are important to us all.

Man arrested Officer almost pulled trigger in shooting By DEAN A. RADFORD

By DEAN A. RADFORD

dradford@rentonreporter.com

An 18-year-old man was arrested Tuesday night for investigation of first-degree assault in the shooting of his girlfriend in Renton earlier in the evening, according to the Renton Police Department. The man was to have a preliminary court appearance Wednesday afternoon at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. The Renton Reporter is not naming the man because as of the print deadline Wednesday, he had not been charged. The shooting occurred at about 5 p.m. at an apartment in the 2200 block of Northeast 10th Place and was reported to police by the boyfriend. The 21-year-old victim was taken by medics to Harborview Medical Center, where she underwent surgery. Her injuries were not life-threatening, according to Renton Police Detective Robert Onishi. It’s believed the two live at the apartment, he said. Several weapons were recovered, including rifles, handguns and a revolver, but it wasn’t immediately known what type of gun was used in the shooting, Onishi said. As of mid-week, police also didn’t have a motive for the shooting, he said. Officers interviewed witnesses at the scene and the boyfriend at the police station for about an hour, but a K9 track didn’t find anyone who matched the shooting suspect’s description given by the boyfriend, according to police. Anyone with information related to the shooting is asked to called the Renton Police Department at 425-430-7500 and refer to case 13-10048.

A Renton police officer held an 18-yearold man at gunpoint, his finger on the trigger, for several seconds until the man threw a knife to the ground. Officers were called to a fight between brothers on Benson Road South at about 1 a.m. Sept. 8. The older brother was trying to get his younger brother, who had been drinking at a wedding, to come inside. Instead, the 18-yearold punched his brother. As the older brother and an officer, clearly dressed in a Renton Police jumpsuit, talked, the 18-year-old walked toward them. Something flashed in his hand; it was a kitchen knife. The brother said, “He has a knife.” The officer told him to drop the knife, but he kept advancing. The officer pulled his gun. The 18-year-old still advanced. “You gonna shoot me, shoot,” he said. He raised his knife-wielding hand. The older brother was with the officer. Now 20 feet from the suspect, the officer pointed his gun at the 18-yearold’s chest and placed his finger on the trigger. He wrote in his report that he was in imminent fear that the teen was going to stab him. But the 18-year-old threw the knife to the ground and walked off. More officers arrived and the man was found

Insurance

About $8,000 in cash was stolen Sept. 4 from a vehicle parked in the 400 block of Maple Avenue Southwest where the victim was visiting his mother. After breaking a window, the thief took three briefcases, including one that contained the cash. Also stolen were electronic gear, personal documents and checks. The victim told officers that he travels a lot, so he needs the cash to get home at anytime.

Conflicting stories Officers couldn’t make an arrest Sept. 3 because of conflicting stories and lack of independent witnesses to an apparent verbal harassment and assault on and off a Metro bus on Rainier Avenue. However, one of the three suspects was arrested on a felony warrant. Police had received a call from a woman that her jewelry had been stolen by three men. The victim, a 35-year Renton woman, told officers she got into a pushing match that one of the men initiated and who tackled her “football style.” During the

interview, she was “verbally aggressive” to the men and called them derogatory names. Officers placed the Tukwila man in cuffs. He told officers he had waved at the woman because she was staring at him on the bus. She yelled at him and she bumped into him when they got off the bus. She tried to spit at him but her mouth was dry. She charged him, he said, and he took her to the ground. He then walked off with two others to a nearby fast-food restaurant.

Nabbed for the candy A man, possibly from Auburn, punched a Walmart security officer in the chest Sept. 5 after he consumed Mike and Ike without paying for the candy and fraudulently returned a tire iron and spray paint. The man ate the 98-cent Mike and Ike candy while he waited to pay for several items. At the same time, he returned the tire iron and spray paint, worth $23.59, he had picked up in the store on Rainier Avenue. The security officer attempted to detain the man as he walked from the store but he resisted and punched the officer twice in the chest. The officer let go and the suspect fled in a gray Hyundai Accent The car was traced to its registered owner in Auburn, whose son matches the suspect’s description. The security officer was to be shown his picture.

Old Renton Book Exchange does Steampunk By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The downtown Old Renton Book Exchange will host another evening of the “Sardonic Salon,” a tribute to over-the-top literature, Oct. 5. Steampunk is the theme of the fifth installment of the Sardonic Salon. The night kicks off at 7 p.m., at the book exchange located at 227 Wells Ave. South, Renton. The event is free and guests are asked to “bring something for the table,” something to eat or something for the bar. Shop owner Dacia Hanson created the Sardonic Salon series after she was sitting around with her co-workers “shooting the proverbial breeze,” and one of them pulled a “men’s adventure” novel off the shelf. “It sparked a conversation about things that are so bad, they’re kind of fascinating,” Hanson said. Hanson’s co-worker Colin Davis describes them more dramatically. “The literary equivalent

of train wrecks or accidents - when you’re reading them, you’re like I can’t stop reading this atrocity, this crime against literature,” said Davis. “It’s so terrible, but I’m laughing all the way through it.” They group started talking about how they should have a party and read from these interesting works aloud. They held their first Sardonic Salon a year ago and each time since, they get about 20 to 50 attendees. All of the salons take on a different theme. In July the shop hosted a Co-dependence Day and read bad cowboy fiction. For their St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, they read from bad romance novels. “Everybody had a great time,” said Hanson. “Everybody seemed to really get the spirit of it, and it’s ultimately to get everybody together to read really bad books and make fun of them.” The event is intended for those 21 and up. For more information, visit the shop online at www.oldrentonbooks.com.

Cascade is Updating its Water Efficiency Goals:

Your Input is Important! Cascade currently provides drinking water to 350,000 residents and 20,000 businesses in member areas of Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond, Tukwila and the Sammamish Plateau and Skyway Water and Sewer Districts. Setting and meeting a goal for wise water use helps ensure a reliable water supply, keeps costs lower to ratepayers and allows more water to stay in streams. Wise water use today helps ensure future water reliability. During the past 10 years, residents who used water wisely helped save millions of gallons of water regionally.

Cascade Wise Water Use Survey There are many factors that affect the current costs of providing drinking water such as energy, construction, and infrastructure replacement. But together we can reduce the long-term cost of providing water by using water wisely today. Please take a moment to answer the following questions to help in our planning efforts. Thank you! 1.

Are you willing to use water more efficiently now to ensure a reliable water supply for the future? Yes No Comments:

How often do you water your lawn in the summer?

Your input is important! Cascade is asking for your help in setting water efficiency goals and determining how we can provide the water efficiency services that will help you save the most amount of water.

Renton Civic Theatre opens season with ‘The 39 Steps’ By TRACEY COMPTON

The Renton Civic Theatre opens its 2013-14 season tonight, with an unusual take on the Alfred Hitchcock classic “The 39 Steps.” The theatre is calling the production a mix of Hitchcock and “a dash of Monty Python,” in a “fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre.” What’s so different about this version of “The 39 Steps” is that, for starters, more than 150 characters are played by a cast of four people. Sound dizzying? Director John Munn brings the play by Patrick Barlow to the Renton stage. There’s an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and, of course, romance. The small cast is made up of actors who have performed on stages throughout the Puget Sound. Actor Bob De Dea plays Richard Hannay in “The 39 Steps.” He’s acted previously at Renton Civic Theatre as well as on other area stages from The Village Theatre, in Issaquah, to Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre. Eric Hartley returns to the Renton stage, after appearing in last season’s “A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum.” Hartley plays Clown 2 in “The 39 Steps.” The show [ more STEPS page 15 ]

Yes, its’ true. As much as I hate to admit it as a Dentist, I’ve never heard of anyone starving because they didn’t have teeth. With that said, Quality of Life can certainly be compromised! Teeth are very similar to your car. When everything is in order, you can get a lot of trouble-free use out of them. When you begin to hear that little sound, or sense something is wrong, it usually is. If addressed right away, you are only looking at a relatively small bill, left to fester, and the cost grows dramatically. It’s funny, we don’t hesitate to take our car in for its’ recommended checkups and servicing, yet we often put off the dental visit, which can be a costly mistake. My challenge to you is to ask yourself a simple question. What is the better investment? Looking after a car which, on average you keep a few years? Or your teeth which you can keep a lifetime, if you want to continue to smile, chew, laugh and kiss the way you do today? Your smile is a great investment; let us help you get back on track,

alty on the far sideline again brought the ball back out and the Highlanders eventually lost the ball on a fumble inside the 10 as the clock ticked down the final minutes of the first half. In the third quarter, Hazen picked up some momentum with an interception with 1:42 left, but immediately gave the ball back on the next play, throwing an interception of their own. As the fourth quarter began, Liberty was up 21-0 and Hazen switched to a faster, nohuddle style offense and began moving the ball better against the Liberty defense and Lee put the Highlanders on the board with an exciting, 8-yard touchdown run around the outside to make it a two-score game. On the ensuing kickoff, Hazen attempted an on-sides kick, but Liberty recovered and took the ball 58 yards on two plays to give them a 28-7 lead and the win.

Penalties prove costly in Hazen’s loss to Liberty bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

It may have been Liberty High School on the opposing sidelines, but Hazen football’s biggest opponent Friday night at Renton Memorial Stadium may have been themselves. A pair of touchdowns called back for penalties and a fumble on the 6-yard line with 1:22 left in the first half made things difficult for the Highlanders, who fell 28-7 in their home opener against the Patriots. Liberty opened the scoring in the first quarter after a trick play, running a hookand-ladder that put Liberty inside the 10 and led to a 1-yard run for a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter, Hazen faked a punt on fourth-and-long, with Marquise Lee taking the ball all the way to the end zone, but a penalty brought the ball back out and the Highlanders were eventually forced to punt. Later in the second, Lee again ran a ball in for an apparent touchdown, but a pen-

After an exciting last-minute win in their opening game, Renton High could not hang on to a fourth-quarter lead Thursday night as Decatur scored the final 14 points to beat the Indians 32-28 at Renton Memorial Stadium. In a game that was a battle of running backs, Renton’s Ernie Davis ran for three touchdowns and caught one more but it wasn’t enough to top the four rushing and one receiving touchdown scored be Decatur’s Isaiah Diggs. After a scoreless first quarter, Davis ran for a pair of 2-yard touchdowns in the second to give the Gators a 12-0 lead at the half. Diggs picked up his third touchdown in the third quater to make the score 18-0, but the Indians came roaring back with four straight touchdowns from Davis. Davis first put the Indians on the board with a 52-yard, pass-and-run from quarterback Elijah Clayton and then scored on a 1-yard and 15-yard run before the quarter ended. With all three touchdowns getting successful point-after kicks, Renton went into the final quarter with a 21-18 lead.

Lindbergh’s Daniel Wiitanen scored three touchdowns for the Eagles Friday, including twice in the fourth quarter, to propel Lindbergh to a 26-21 victory over Steilacoom and 2-0 start. Wiitanen opened the scoring for the Eagles with a 24-yard run in the second quarter to give the Eagles a 6-0 lead. Then, quarterback Tyrell Shavers took the ball 20 yards himself for Lindbergh’s second touchdown and a 12-lead. But Steilacoom rallied back, scoring once before halftime to make it 12-6 Eagles and then scored two more times, first in the

third quarter and then to open the fourth to take a 21-12 lead. All of Steilacoom’s touchdowns were scored by Brian Thomas. But the Eagles did not give up and Wiitanen picked up his second touchdown of the day off a 36-yard run to make it 21-18 (point-after pass failed). Later in the quarter, Wiitanen took the ball 24 yards to pay dirt and the Eagles converted for two points on a pass from Shavers to Branden Mills for a 26-21 lead and the win. Lindbergh (2-0) stays on the road this week, taking on Evergreen (1-1) at 7 p.m. Friday. The Eagles’ home opener is set for Sept. 27 at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Things continued to look up for Renton as Davis opened the fourth quarter with a 26-yard run for his fourth touchdown of the game and a 28-18 lead. But then Diggs took the game back into his hands, taking in a 1-yard rush for a touchdown (kick failed) and finally catching a 49-yard pass from Isaiah Hatch. Diggs then ran in the point-after to put Decatur up 32-28 and time ran out on the Indians. Renton heads to Foster next Friday to take on the Bulldogs.

bested the Bulldogs 2-1. Junior attacker Brook Swenson teamed up with senior outside mid Korbyn Walls 10 minutes into the second half for a 1-0 lead. Twenty minutes later senior outside mid Melissa Carney took a through pass from sophomore central mid Madison Kraemer to double the lead. Garfield scored a late goal, but it wasn’t enough and the Highlanders claimed the victory. On Saturday, the team traveled to Tumwater to take on the Black Hills Wolves. The Highlanders were unable to keep up with Black Hills, however, falling 4-0. On Tuesday, Hazen traveled to Bonney Lake, where the Panthers bested the Highlanders 2-0. Hazen returns home to “the Joe,” their field at Hazen on Saturday to take on Eisenhower and will play Highline Tuesday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Renton swim team small but dedicated With lots of new, inexperienced swimmers on the team, the Renton High School girls swim team is keeping the expectations in check for this fall’s swim season. But Coach Diane Pavelin said her team, which has to drive to Hazen High School for practices, may be small and young, but it is dedicated. The team is led by a pair of returning swimmers, who competed in last year’s state meet, both with the goal of racing again with the best in Washington. Juniors Angela Vu, who swam on last year’s state 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle relays, and Samantha Honmyo, who finished 11th in state ion the 200 freestyle and 12th in the 500 free at leagues, are both returning this season to lead the young squad, after the loss of several swimmers from last year’s team to graduation. Pavelin said this year she hopes her inexperienced team can improve at each meet, both

as individual swimmers and as a team, and she said she hopes to get Vu and Honmyo another shot at the postseason.

Lindbergh swimming looks to returners to power team With a trio of top swimmers and a diver returning this season, Lindbergh’s girls swim team is looking to repeat and build on last year’s success. The Eagles finished last season third in the Seamount with a 6-4 record and an eighthplace finish at the district meet. Despite some key losses, the Eagles are returning Abby Chufar, Chelsey Guhlke, Erica Garl and diver Alexa Dias, among 26 girls on the team. Coach Roger Miron said he is expecting his team to compete in the Seamount at about the same level as last year, behind Kennedy and Hazen, but he hopes for a higher finish in the district meet and hopes to get as many swimmers into the state meet as he can.

Family Circle has been caring for our daughter for 10 years. We had toured 5 centers before coming to Family Circle Learning Center. We knew immediately that this was the best place for our daughter. The facility is clean, safe, and easily accesible. The play equipment is updated regularly and the kids really enjoy the variety of toys that are available to them. We were thrilled when Family Circle implemented the fingerprint security system and sliding doors. It gives us peace of mind that our child is safe and will only be released to those that we have authorized to pick her up. We have never questioned whether or not we would return to Family Circle every year. We doubt that we would ever find the level of care and the quality of education at any other center.
