Boysen pleads guilty, faces life without parole By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Michael Chadd Boysen will face life in prison without possibility of parole when he’s sentenced Oct. 18 for murdering his grandparents in March. Boysen, 27, pleaded guilty Oct. 4 to two counts of aggravated first-degree murder in the slayings of his grandparents, Norma and Robert Taylor, at their Fairwood home. He had pleaded not Michael Chadd guilty to the charges in Boysen April. In August King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg decided he wouldn’t seek the death penalty if Boysen was convicted. Boysen was released March 8 from prison on a burglary conviction; his grandparents picked him up and then hosted a welcomehome party for him the night they were killed. Their bodies were discovered by Boysen’s adoptive mother, the daughter of the slain couple, who were in their early 80s. After killing his grandparents, Boysen fled in their car to Oregon, where he was arrested March 12 after a 10-hour standoff with police at a Lincoln City motel.

County making push to sign up people for healthcare coverage By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Despite the battle over its future that has the federal government in shutdown, the Affordable Healthcare Act exchanges opened this past week and efforts are under way in King County to register the nearly 30 percent of county residents who are presently uninsured.
“Here in King County we’re looking at over 180,000 currently uninsured individuals who are going to have access to coverage because of the changes,” said Jennifer DeYoung, health reform policy analyst for Public Health - Seattle and King County. In Renton alone, an estimated 12,493 people – about one in five residents of the city - do not have healthcare. Of those

people, an estimated 3,783 will be eligible for Medicaid through the expansion of the program, while an additional 6,850 will be eligible for subsidies and credits through the Health Benefit Exchange. The county is making a push this month to contact those eligible for the new exchanges to help them sign up for the program and Maria Wood, Board of Health administrator, was at the Renton City Council’s Committee of the Whole meeting Monday. Under the new law, commonly referred to as “Obamacare,” most individuals will be required by law to have health coverage
beginning Jan. 1. To help meet that requirement, the state of Washington has rolled out two new coverage options. First, Medicaid coverage, formerly known as Apple Health, will be expanded to individuals with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty line, or $15,864 for an individual or $26,952 for a family of three. In addition, the state has launched its Health Benefit Exchange with subsidized premiums and tax credits available for individuals with incomes from 139 percent to 400 percent of the poverty line, or up to $45,960 for an individual and $78,120 for a [ more healthcare page 9 ]

Renton honors Jim Sullivan as Citizen of the Year Maggie Breen and Marlene Winter collect 2013 ‘Outstanding Citizen’ Awards from Chamber The City of Renton, Renton Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club of Renton honored Jim Sullivan as the 2013 Citizen of the Year and Maggie Breen and Marlene Winter as Outstanding Citizens. These awards recognize their unwavering dedication and far-reaching contributions to the Renton community. The annual Citizen of the Year Banquet is scheduled for Oct. 16 at the Renton Senior Activity Center. Numerous organizations and thousands of individuals benefited from the combined volunteer efforts of Sullivan, Breen and Winter. Their volunteer service focuses on a variety of areas, including health and human services, community involvement, building partnerships and education. “It is my honor and privilege to recognize Jim Sullivan as the 2013 Citizen of the year and Maggie Breen and Marlene Winter as Outstanding Citizens,” said Renton Mayor Denis Law in a press release. “I am pleased to recognize their dedication and passion for this city and our community. These awards are just one small way to say ‘thank you’ to individuals who dedicate their lives to making a difference, and help make our city a better place to live, work, and grow.” 2013 Citizen of the Year Jim Sullivan has contributed to the Renton community since his arrival in Renton 40 years ago. Sullivan has been the president of
SHAG (Senior Housing Assistance Group) for the last 19 years, an organization that currently serves approximately 5,000 people in more than 28 communities in the region by providing affordable rental apartments for low-income seniors. Sullivan has also been an active and financial supporter of many community causes, including Friends of Renton Schools and King County Sexual Assault Resource Center. He was also instrumental in establishing RotaCare, a free health clinic for people with no other access to health care. The clinic meets every Saturday morning at the Renton Rotary Salvation Army Food Bank and has partnered with Valley Medical Center, which provides not only monetary support but physician and medical personnel as well. Sullivan is there nearly every week and his caring demeanor is appreciated by all who come to the clinic. His active participation in all these organizations has made a difference in the Renton community. “Jim’s dedication to helping those without access to medical care through our local RotaCare Clinic is just the latest example of his service through Rotary,” said Renton Rotary President John Bauman. “I join with other members of Renton Rotary in congratulating Jim on his selection as Renton Citizen of the Year. We also offer our congratulations to Maggie Breen and Marlene Winter
Maggie Breen
Marlene Winter
on their selection as Outstanding Citizens.” 2013 Outstanding Citizen Maggie Breen is an excellent example of a Renton resident who has impacted Renton in an extraordinary way, demonstrating strong character and leadership. Breen presently serves as the Executive Director of REACH (Renton Ecumenical Association of Churches), a faith-based collection of organizations whose slogan is “Community for the Sake of the World.” During her three-year tenure with REACH, the number of organizations involved has increased by 50 percent. Breen has expanded REACH’s partnerships beyond the faith-based community to include the Renton School District, the City of Renton and local businesses and individuals. Breen was instrumental in starting the REACH Center of Hope Women’s Shelter with Dr. Linda Smith and she is currently working to develop the Meal Coalition and “Safe Parking” designated locations in Renton for homeless to park overnight. 2013 Outstanding Citizen Marlene Winter is a member of the City of Renton’s Parks Commission, the Renton Community Foundation, the Kennydale Neighborhood Association, a founding member of RUFF (Renton’s Unleashed Furry Friends), and the
Jim Sullivan
volunteer manager of the Cedar River Dog Park. For the past 10 years, Winter and her husband Roger have picked up litter on Lake Washington Boulevard. She donates her time as a reading tutor at Campbell Hill Elementary School. She was instrumental in starting the bus pass donation program for the Renton Community Foundation and donates both time and money to support the needs of our community. “Citizen of the Year is a wonderful program to recognize the hard-working volunteers in our community who help make Renton a great community,” said Lynn Wallace, President/CEO, Renton Chamber of Commerce. The 2013 Citizen of the Year banquet is scheduled for 5 p.m. Oct. 16 at the Senior Activity Center. Tickets are $35 per person and include a salmon dinner.

Hemstad resigns from hospital district board after move By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Anthony Hemstad has resigned from the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Commissioners, now that his Kent home has sold and he’s no longer living in the district. Hemstad tendered his resignation in an email
Sept. 22 to Dr. Paul Joos, the commission president. Joos informed the commission of Hemstad’s resignation in a letter Oct. 3 after he returned from a vacation. Earlier, Hemstad had resigned as a trustee on the Board of Trustees that oversees the operations of Valley Medical Center
under a strategic alliance with UW Medicine. All five district commissioners serve as trustees. The Public Hospital District still owns the medical center and elected commissioners oversee the district’s taxes and some other non-medical-related functions. Hemstad is three
months shy of serving his full six-year term. Two Anthony Hemstad Kent residents, Barbara Drennen and Albert P. Haylor, are running in the
Nov. 5 general election to replace Hemstad on the commission. In his letter Joos told commissioners he plans to swear in the certified winner of the November election. That process is outlined in state law. The next commission meeting is Nov. 4; the commission last met in

August. Hemstad was elected to the commission in 2007, beating incumbent Carole A. Anderson by 108 votes. He ran as a reform candidate. “It has been an honor to represent and work for the best interests of the taxpayers and residents of King County Public Hospital District No. 1,” Hemstad wrote in his email to Joos. “I am glad that some basic reforms were able to be put in place in recent years but regret that more of the fundamental and widereaching changes that are desperately needed at the institution did not take place,” he wrote.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
“Here in King County we’re looking at over 180,000 currently uninsured individuals who are going to have access to coverage because of the changes.“ Jennifer DeYoung, King County health reform policy analyst
The playing field has changed, but to victor goes the Boeing 777X Twelve Democratic and Republican state lawmakers will gather Friday morning in Seattle to continue formulating a strategy for convincing the Boeing Co. to assemble the 777X in Washington. This will be their second sit down in two weeks and will take place behind closed doors in an unannounced location. (I hear if you hang out near the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce building around 9:30 a.m. you might catch sight of them.) And if it’s like the inaugural meeting in Everett last week, materials handed out will be collected before anyone leaves the room. This dozen, along with representatives of the Machinists, aerospace engineers, Washington State Labor Council and Aerospace Futures Alliance, are trying to craft a secret sauce to sway company executives and don’t want its ingredients known prematurely. They are under some pressure. Gov. Jay Inslee, who cooked up the idea of the task force, wants something tangible before the international air show in Dubai begins Nov. 17. That’s when Boeing is expected to formally launch the 777X program and maybe hint where it will build the next generation of its popular jetliner. There’s good precedent for such an exercise. A decade ago, a select group of lawmakers drew up significant changes in Washington laws on such things as taxes, workers compensation and unemployment then got them approved by their colleagues. The result: Boeing chose Everett for its 7E7 — now 787 — program. This time around is different in two major respects. Then, the Boeing Co. laid out pretty clearly what it wanted and conducted a formal process to solicit proposals from communities and states. This time around, the company isn’t saying anything about its desires for the 777X. “The whole genesis is different,” said Rep. Jeff Morris, D-Mount Vernon, who chaired the 2003 task force and is on this new panel. “We really don’t know what we’re responding to.” The political climate is different, too. Then, the governor was Gary Locke, a moderate Democrat. Faced with a Republican-run Senate, he found common ground with moderates in the GOP and his own party in order to push through sweeping policy reforms which helped land the groundbreaking Boeing program. Now, the governor is Inslee, a progressive Democrat. He, too, faces a Senate controlled by Republicans. And, like in 2003, there are divisive issues such as transportation funding, workers compensation and fish consumption which may need tending to in bipartisan fashion to sway Boeing. Unlike Locke, Inslee’s shown a mostly takeno-Republican-prisoners attitude in his dealings with the Legislature in his first year. For some task force members, it’s tempered their optimism on what will be accomplished in the next few weeks. For example, Inslee will likely need to press [ more cornfield page 7 ] JERRY CORNFIELD

Coal-export terminals a money grab for industry, a huge bill for rest of us By Mark R. Johnston
It seems every three months or so an article or editorial appears in the Renton Reporter in support of building coal-export terminals in Washington and allowing the associated 18 trains a day (each a mile or so long) to pass through our communities. The author tends to be someone with an impressive sounding business title who is promoting the proposed project as being good for the economy and thereby the public as a whole. They tend to play up the supposed benefits while playing down or saying nothing about the costs. And while they may appear to be random stand-alone articles, they’re more likely a planned component of big coal and other business interests’ overall strategy to ram this thing through by making it sound reasonable or at least acceptable. I think the public knows otherwise. These pro-coal articles are designed to slowly wear away at peoples’ gut instincts and thereby grow support for, or at least reduce opposition to, the project. It’s important that we not allow ourselves to be fooled here. This is all about a minority (big business and big money) seeking great financial benefits while passing the costs off on the majority. In a nutshell, the project’s proponents are asking us to support or allow massive amounts of Montana and Wyoming coal to be dug up
and transported through our state to Asia, where it would be burned and contribute to climate change, which affects us all. And though this is an energy proposal, it’s even questionable how much energy sense it even makes. Consider, for example, the energy consumed in mining, loading, and transporting the coal. And regarding the trains, we are all expected to bear the daily costs of the gas and time we burn while waiting for them to pass. When these energy costs are factored in, it’s unclear how much net energy the proposal would even produce. As a teaser, proponents point to the jobs the project would produce. However, relatively few would be permanent, they won’t be in South King County, and on the whole would amount to a mere drop in the bucket regionally. And the upshot – the project would make it harder for those who already have jobs to get to them on time. While a few would benefit from the jobs produced, we are all being asked to foot a huge bill for them. This is not the kind of economic activity we should be creating. We could, for example, mine the Washington Monument or State Capitol for marble. This would create jobs but not ones that make us better off. Let’s reject this proposal as the opportunistic, selfish money grab it is.
Mark R. Johnston of Kent describes himself as an environmentalist.

So far, a partner network of 23 organizations speaking 34 languages has been created. “Not being able to read a piece of paper is not a barrier,” DeYoung said. More than 500 “in-person

In addition to the online signups, the county is hosting more than 200 live events that will feature in-person walk-throughs and aid, including several in Renton.

Ask An Expert.... Q. Pet Internet Pharmacies… What you need to know Not all internet pharmacies are created equally. Illegal online pharmacies may sell medications that are counterfit, outdated, mislabeled, incorrectly formulated, or improperly made or stored potentially putting your pet in harms way. When prescribing medication, your veterinarian has an established relationship with you and your pet and has your pet’s best interest in mind. On the contrary, an internet pharmacy has no relationship with you or your pet and is strictly financially motivated to sell you medication and products. Unfortunately, without exhaustive research, there is no way of quickly telling a reputable from a non reputable online pharmacy. This is why your veterinary hospital and their website supported online pharmacy is the best choice for purchasing medication for your pet. Your veterinarian can provide the following advantages over internet pharmacies: faster service, manufacturer rebates, often cheaper pricing, instant insurance approval, pharmaceutical manufacturers guarantee, inspection and approval by the FDA, education on the medication being prescribed and can not only answer medical questions but also provide emergency care for your pet. Why put your pet’s life in jeopardy for a “blue light special” when you have a caring and highly trained veterinary professional that provides your pet with medications and products that are proven to be safe and effective? 886989

“We have been working in the community to help raise people’s awareness of the new coverage options, and we’ve also been working with staff to help hospital visitors get more information and get enrolled,” he said. DeYoung said the goal is “full enrollment” in health insurance for everyone in the county and said the key demographic to get involved in order to bring down costs are young, healthy people, many of whom do not currently carry health insurance. “This is an opportunity for folks to get healthcare insurance.” “The main population group this is really going to impact is childless adults,” she said.

tion process. At the county’s first major event, Oct. 5 at the Garfield Community Center in Seattle, more than 150 people were enrolled in the program. In Renton, there are events scheduled at WorkSource Renton, the downtown and Highlands libraries, the Renton Housing Authority, St. Anthony’s Catholic Parish, the Salvation Army and Healthpoint Renton, which is specifically adverting that assisters fluent in English, Spanish and other languages will be available. DeYoung said while it is true the program’s website experienced difficulties during the first week of sign-ups, there are paper forms available and the glitches had no effect on the in-person events. “It didn’t stop us from getting anyone enrolled,” she said.
DeYoung also said the county is hoping that leaders within the non-English speaking communities of King County will become “carriers of the message” and help spread the word about the exchanges and the value of having health insurance. Valley Medical center is also involved in getting people signed up with the program. Patients can schedule an appointment with a certified in-person assister or financial advocate by calling 425-656-5599. Valley Medical’s primary-care clinics offer phones pre-programmed to call the Washington Healthcare Exchange Customer Service Call Center. “Too many people in our area are living without health insurance, which puts their health and their finances at serious risk,” Rich Roodman, CEO of Valley Medical Center, said in a press release.

What is a Health Care Directive? Each person can make decisions about their own health care. A person can also indicate whether they want artificial life support to prolong life after the point of natural death by signing a Health Care Directive. The earlier version was called a Directive to Physicians. These documents are often erroneously referred to as a living will. A Health Care Directive can express decisions about end-of-life health care that may be deemed futile. Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner.

See salmon throughout Renton this month By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Fall is here and in the Pacific Northwest that means the return of cooler temperatures, rain clouds and, of course, salmon. Thousands of fish are presently making their way up the region’s rivers, including the Cedar River through downtown Renton. Throughout October, volunteers from the Friends of the Cedar River Watershed will be present at five sites along the river to teach residents about the epic journey that takes place each year as the salmon swim from the ocean, through the Ballard Locks and Lake Washington and up the Cedar River to spawn. Volunteers will be set up at the Cedar River Library downtown, where viewers have an opportunity to stand directly over the river, as well as see the many changes humans have made to the river through the years.
Next down the line is Cedar River Park, where you can see how some salmon are removed to be taken to a hatchery upstream. At Riverview Park, naturalists share the human history of the area, while further up the Maple Valley Highway at Cavanaugh Park, residents can take a 30-minute tour past wildlife viewing areas and habitat restoration projects. Finally, at Landsberg Park in Maple Valley, learn about the greater Seattle area’s water supply and how some salmon are allowed to pass into the closed boundaries of the municipal watershed. All sites except Cavanaugh Pond are ADA accessible, but parking is limited. The events take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday throughout October. For more information on the program or directions to the volunteer sites, visit www.cedarriver.org. Thousands of salmon, like these photographed Tuesday making their way past the downtown Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, library, are headed to spawning grounds up the Cedar River.

Chinese pilot assaulted while here to get jet The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Two pilots from China who were in Renton to fly a Boeing jet back to their country were robbed at gunpoint Sept. 26 on East Valley Road. The two were walking back to their hotel at about 2 a.m. from the Silver Dollar casino when three men in their teens asked them for a cigarette and then demanded money. One victim fled and called 911 from the hotel. But the three caught up with the other pilot and knocked him to the ground, hitting him in the head with a handgun. His wallet containing two $100 bills was stolen, but his passport was thrown to the ground. A K-9 track was conducted but didn’t find the suspects. The victim returned later and found his wallet and the cash missing. Officers found the tip of an airsoft or pellet gun pistol used in the assault.
Police pursuit on I-405 reaches 140 mph A Renton Police officer pursued a stolen car at about 11:30 p.m. Sept. 18 from the Highlands and onto southbound Interstate 405 at speeds reaching 140 mph. The fleeing car, a green Ford Mustang, had been reported stolen the day before by
a Redmond man. The pursuit began after the Mustang approached a four-way stop at Northeast Fourth Street and Edmonds Avenue Northeast, where the officer was waiting to proceed. Given the Ford’s speed, the officer knew it couldn’t stop. The Ford didn’t stop and the officer did a U-turn in order to issue the driver a citation. A records check showed the Mustang was stolen. The officer pursued the Ford through Brighton Ridge apartment complex and eventually west down the hill on Northeast Third Street at about 85 mph. The roadways were bare and the traffic was light. The driver entered the freeway from Sunset Boulevard North. Traffic was light and the chase reached speeds of about 125 mph. To keep sight of the Mustang, the officer accelerated to about 140 mph. The officer ended the pursuit when the Mustang reached a more congested stretch of I-405.
The pursuit lasted 2 minutes, 4 seconds, and covered about 3.2 miles.
Man pushes woman to ground, hits her A 26-year-old Renton woman told an officer she was walking on the sidewalk on Southeast 175th Street Sept. 17 when a man told her to get off his property. Friends with her walked off and she continued walking to a convenience store. The man struck her from behind, knocked her down and got on top of her, striking her in the face. He then walked off. The woman had stitches when she reported the incident the next day. Officers tried to determine the assailant’s identity.
Renton woman changes tags, cited for shoplifting A 66-year-old Renton woman was cited
for shoplifting at the Goodwill store on Sunset Boulevard after she concealed items in bags and switched price tags. She paid for the items with switched sales tags but not the concealed items. She was detained outside the store. She admitted to a police officer she had shoplifted at the store previously. She was barred from the store for a year.
Graffiti sprayed on Cedar fish ladder About a half-dozen teenage boys spraypainted graffiti on a concrete fish ladder on the Cedar River near Shelton Avenue Southeast. They then fled back across the river and up a steep hill toward the Royal Hills neighborhood, which was searched.

Lindbergh doubles up Renton Renton scores early, but the Eagles roared back to take a 4-2 victory By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Despite a quick Renton goal in the first minute of play, the Lindbergh Eagles girls soccer team rallied back to beat the Renton Indians 4-2 Oct. 3 at Renton Memorial Stadium in a matchup of two of the top teams in the Seamount League. Renton opened the scoring on a quick goal from Asia Brisco, unassisted, in the first minute of play to take a 1-0 lead. The scored stayed that way until deep into the first half when Lindbergh’s Robin McLuen tied the game for Lindbergh with an unassisted goal in the 36th minute. Soon after, in stoppage time, McLuen made a pass to Allison Fernald who put it in the net for a 2-1 Lindbergh lead at the half.
After the intermission, Lindbergh continued to roll, picking up a goal in the 42nd minute from Lindsey Pfluger on an assist from Justine Yarington. Yarington drew Renton goalie Taylor Farris out of the net and made a quick pass to Pfluger, who put it in the back of the net for a 3-1 lead. In the 58th minute, Yarington got a goal of her own, off an assist from LeAnna Sauceda. Brisco picked up her second unassisted goal of the game in the 74th minute to make it 4-2, but Renton was unable to get any closer before the final whistle blew. Both teams are now 5-2 overall. Renton played Kennedy Catholic Tuesday at Renton Memorial Stadium while Lindbergh traveled to Highline. As of Wednesday,
Lindbergh’s Allison Fernauld, above, had one goal in the game. Right, Robin McLuen, 11, battles with Renton’s Kyrian Brichoux for the ball. McLuen had a goal and an assist. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter

Led by another three touchdown effort from Ernie Davis, the Renton Indians rolled over Highline 45-8 Oct. 3 to move to 3-2 on the year. Davis scored all three of his touchdowns in the
first quarter of the game on a 4-yard run, a 71-yard run and a 37-yard run, all backed by Zach Hasson kicks to give the Indians a 21-0 lead after the first 15 minutes. But Renton didn’t slow down in the second, scoring twice more. First Thomas Dejohnette took the ball 4 yards to the endzone, followed by a 10-yard pass from Elijah Clayton to Tahj Bailey to give the Indians a 35-0 lead at the midpoint. Neither team score in the third, but Clayton scampered 4 yards for a rushing touchdown of his on in the fourth for a 42-0 lead. Highline was able to put some points on the board in the fourth with a 73-yard pass play and 2-point conversion, but Renton answered again with a 38-yard field goal

Auburn man charged for March shooting near school By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
A 35-year-old Auburn man has been charged with assault for allegedly shooting at a vehicle near Lakeridge Elementary School on West Hill near Renton after he wasn’t paid for a half-pound of marijuana. Numerous 911 calls were
made the night of March 29, reporting the sounds of gunfire. The driver was shot in the back while he sat in the driver’s seat. Justin Wayne Ice was charged Sept. 23 with one count of first-degree assault and one count of seconddegree assault. He pleaded not guilty at an arraignment on Oct. 7. He was arrested on Sept. 19 and released the next day. Ice told investigators he is a licensed medical-marijuana seller; a quarter-pound of marijuana sells for $700
he told them, according to charging documents. The transaction was arranged for near Lakeridge Elementary School at about 11 p.m. on March 29 for a quarter-pound of marijuana. At the meet, the buyer wanted an additional quarter-pound of the drug. But Ice needed more bags to package the marijuana, so they drove to the Safeway store on Henderson Street to buy baggies, according to charging documents. The buyer had arrived in a Chevrolet
Tahoe, which had remained behind. Ice told investigators that as they packaged the marijuana, the buyer threw down several counterfeit $100 bills, grabbed the marijuana and ran to the Tahoe, according the charging documents. Ice tried to follow the Tahoe in his own car; he told investigators he lost sight of the SUV and didn’t fire his gun. But detectives contacted a shooting victim at Harborview Medical Center, who was the driver

touchdowns on 1- and 2-yard runs (both kicks failed) to take a 19-6 lead. But the Highlanders rallied back with 10 unanswered points of their own. The first came on a 58-yard touchdown run, followed by a 40-yard field goal and the teams went to the half with Kennedy up 19-16. In the third quarter, Kennedy picked up two more touchdowns on a run and a pass play (both point-after attempts failed) to take a 32-16 lead headed to the final quarter, Hazen rallied in the final frame, adding a 58-yard passing touchdown and a 2-point conversion, but ultimately fell short 32-24. Hazen travels to Evergreen Friday.

crippled this area. We are very fortunate to have this dedicated group of people in our community.” During the snow and ice storm of January 2012, RECS performed critical functions, including call-taking, managing radio and social media, and providing real-time weather and road information gathered from around the City of Renton. When power was lost to hundreds of homes, RECS members were deployed to Renton’s network of Neighborhood Information Centers, where they posted information on shelter and food distribution locations. “The dedication and commitment shown by the RECS volunteers is making a real difference in our ability to better serve our community,” said Renton Fire Chief Mark Peterson. “They provide timely and critical communications and information before it is needed.” The volunteer group also developed a Mobile Communications Response Unit, which stands ready as a mobile incident command post or alternative Emergency Operation Center, as needed.

Renton’s all-volunteer Emergency Communication Service organization was recognized this past week by King County Executive Dow Constantine for its commitment to emergency preparedness and response. “Whenever the ground shakes or the weather turns foul, the volunteers of Renton Emergency Communication Service are the community’s eyes and ears – gathering critical safety information and getting it out to the public,” said Constantine in a press release. “Every one of their members is trained to staff the city’s emergency operations center as the need arises. I’m pleased to present them with the 2013 Executive’s Award for Community Preparedness.” This is the third annual Executive’s Award for Community Preparedness, given each fall in recognition of outstanding efforts made by communities to prepare for and respond to emergencies. The award is also intended to promote safer communities, strengthening King County as a whole. The ceremony, held at Renton City Hall, was hosted by Renton Mayor Denis Law. Renton Emergency Communication Service (RECS) was chosen for a record of service that stretches back long before their formal incorporation in 2008 by two groups of amateur radio operators. Over time, RECS volunteers have evolved to become a key asset to Renton’s Fire and Emergency Services Department, especially during disasters. Each RECS member is trained to staff the Renton Emergency Operations Center and carry out communication responsibilities. “Our emergency radio communication volunteers are a vital part of our emergency preparedness program in Renton,” said Law. “These volunteers have already shown their value to this city through the assistance they provided during past storm events that
