Lane sentenced to 33 years for murder of Jessica Scholl By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Todd Schlegel, seen here holding son Memphis, 3, and his family have turned their North Renton home into a haunted house with 10 different horrorthemed vignettes to put a scare into this year’s trick-or-treaters. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter
The family that scares together... By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

eyond the graveyard in the front yard, the orange lights and the spooky entrance way, one of the things you might notice as you approach the Schlegel house on Williams Avenue North are the dried leaves adding atmosphere and crunch to the scene. While not that unusual to see drying leaves on the ground
at this time of year, it does seem odd when you consider that the Schlegels do not have any trees. But bringing in bags and bags of leaves to add to the effect is just an example of how far the family will go to set the mood for a good scare. “I have always been a huge Halloween fan,” says Todd Schlegel, adding that horror movies have always been his favorites.

Jarod Thomas Lane was sentenced to 33 years in prison Oct. 18 for killing his former girlfriend, Jessica Scholl, in her home in May 2012 and then setting fire to her house. The courtroom was filled with Jessica’s friends, family and schoolmates as King County Superior Court Judge Mary Yu heard family members, including her parents Stephanie and Doug, talk about the impact Jessica’s murder had on them. “There is no future with my daughter in it,” Stephanie Scholl said. Lane stood in front of Yu, in his orange prison suit, listening to the statements, his eyes closed for much of the time and at times his face tensing. The 21-year-old Lane spoke to Yu as well, saying he took full responsibility for what happened on May 25, 2012, that when described by prosecutor Jennifer Worley left many in the courtroom in tears. “Jessica was tortured longer than I will speak,” Worley told Yu. Lane stabbed Jessica multiple times, then set fire to a couch in the house. Lane fled by car and was arrested 2,000 miles away in Oklahoma City on May 28. [ more Lane page 5 ]
Incumbent Briere faces off against Asher for council seat Of the two contested City Council races in Renton, only one pits a seated incumbent against a challenger for her spot on the dais. This fall, local community activist Beth Asher is challenging Terri Briere, who has been on the council since 2000. Briere is a lifelong Renton resident who lives in the Highlands neighborhood. She was first appointed to the council and then won re-election in 2002. She holds a degree in advertising and marketing. She and her
husband Bill own a general contracting firm where Briere serves as president. The couple has two grown children and two grandchildren. Briere has served on several boards and commissions and was named 2011 Woman of the Year by the Business and Professional Women of Washington. Asher is a community activist best known for her work with the group “Save the Cedar River Library!” She lives in the Renton Hill neighborhood with her husband Norm. The couple have two children and one grandchild. Asher works as a whole goods broker’s assistant and is a part owner of a small busi-

ness. Asher has a history of volunteering for various local charities, including Kiwanis, Special Olympics and others. This is her first run for public office. The Renton Reporter submitted the same set of questions to each candidate. Their answers are printed here. Answers may be edited for space and style, but the content was not changed. Asher’s answers are presented first because her name is first alphabetically. 1. What do you think are the two most pressing issues facing Renton? ASHER: Renton has several pressing issues;
economic development for our struggling small business community and downtown core, continuing to fund basic services like public safety, affordable housing, and preserving the makeup of our unique neighborhoods. Two issues that seem most pressing to me are our city budget, and the way the regional transportation crisis is affecting quality of life in Renton. BRIERE: First, Public Safety; Residents need to have confidence that our police are here to protect them, and that well-trained firefighters will respond when needed. [ more Candidates page 3 ]

www.rentonreporter.com and bringing new business to the community. I want to build on the cities prior accomplishments and make investments in programs and services that enhance our quality of life. 4. What do you believe is the role of the City Council member? (Please share a little of your philosophy of governance.) ASHER: City Council members have the basic job of setting policy. To do that we must engage with businesses large and small, residents and community groups so that we can respond to our diverse community’s needs. City government is designed to be representative, so one of my primary roles as a council member will be to actively include our community members in forming the city policies that affect them. A concerned community acting together will be a powerful force in moving the city forward. BRIERE: Officially, City Council duties include making public policy, adopting and enforcing ordinances and authority over the city’s budgets. They also receive and consider public input, make appropriate decisions in a manner that encourages full and open discussion, and exercise all the powers that state statutes and city ordinances empower to lawfully govern the community. Additionally, I believe it is important to be open minded, collaborative, flexible, informed and accessible to the residents, business owners, staff and administration. 5. What are your top budget priorities? ASHER: Restore Renton’s emergency fund levels - the city could face significant hardship in the future and we need to strengthen our city economy for the long term; Fund basic needs like public safety so that we can keep necessary services and continue programs like police in schools; and begin

funding upcoming infrastructure improvements and pre-fund bond issues. BRIERE: Ensure accountability and fiscal responsibility. Renton’s council and administration have worked diligently to ensure the stability of the city’s finances. It is not an easy task as funding opportunities diminish. As chair of the Finance Committee, it is important to me that we continue to look at longterm needs and strategies that include putting aside additional rainy day funds for future emergencies. It is important that we maintaining Public Safety and encourage creative ways to deliver city services that control costs and save taxpayers money. Continue and enhance our economicdevelopment program, attracting jobs, shopping and revenue diversification can help maintain services without raising taxes. Secondly, planning may not sound important but planning establishes a long-term vision for the city. Community planning is a partnership with our citizens and community leaders; in recent years we have we developed the City Center, Sunset Highlands and Benson Hill Community plans and the Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan to

name a few. Along with the Comprehensive Plan that is being updated this year, they provide a roadmap for future growth and development. It is imperative that we continue to work on neighborhood plans to include the remaining areas of our city. 6. Perhaps the biggest issue the council has dealt with in the past two years has been the library annexation and rebuilds. What are your thoughts on this process and would you support de-annexation if the issue arose? ASHER: Saving the library was a true grass-roots effort and shows the power of residents who are working together, engaged in finding a solution. This type of participation and commitment is Renton at its best. Working together, we have the creativity, resolve and know-how to tackle our community’s biggest challenges and enhance the Renton we love. I strongly believe that voting on issues is the way our system is designed to work, and de-annexation would be an issue to be decided by a vote of the people. BRIERE: Several years ago the library master plan was completed. It showed the city was very far behind in offering the library services that our residents deserved. It was also apparent that we were not in a financial position to improve the library to the level needed. The decision of the council was to ask our citizens if there was an interest in annexa-
tion to the King County Library System, which they affirmed. Locating a new library in the downtown area in the Big 5 space, the council believed offered an exciting catalyst to redevelopment of the downtown, coupled with the close location of the high school and St. Anthony’s it seemed an ideal location. The council listened and responded to the concerns of the community regarding moving the location from the river. The council covered the election expense and has authorized funds to expand the library based on public comment. I believe the process worked. Personally, I would never promote de-annexation from KCLS based on the information I have heard from the community. The majority of the users love the expanded services offered. Given the financial position of the city, the alternative would be a library with less service than what is currently provided and I believe that is unacceptable to our residents. 7. If money was no object, what would at the top of your wish list for the city? ASHER: As a resident of 38 years who has raised my family here I’m passionate about revitalizing our downtown core and other small business corridors, like the Highlands and the Cascade/Benson Hill area. I’ve twice presented a proposal to the city council of using the old Big 5 site to create an arts and culture [ more candidates page 4 ]

Our police officers and fire fighters have continued to provide quality service for Renton residents and the business community but the pressure of continued financial restraints challenges service delivery. Second, Transportation on both a local and regional level affects our daily lives in Renton. Within the city, traffic flow, functionality, pedestrian safety, school area transportation, and transit mobility are just a few of the concerns. Regionally, we are just a small part of a very large state and county issue. Transportation problems create challenges for businesses by requiring more time commuting and impact decisions about expanding or choosing to relocate here. 2. How will you work to solve them? ASHER: There are real limits on what a city can spend and I support a responsible, balanced budget. Our city has no money to waste. We need to ensure our city can weather another economic downturn, but we don’t want to cut away our community’s future by cutting public safety or other pressing needs. Radical cuts may be short-sighted - we need to work on strengthening our local economy for the long term. Renton needs good transportation infrastructure, including public transit, to attract businesses, keep businesses we have, and provide jobs. Renton will need to look beyond city boundaries and form partnerships with other cities to work on regional issues that are affecting us here at home. BRIERE: Public Safety is easily impacted by Renton’s ongoing financial constraints. These departments rely mainly on manpower to deliver services. Working smart to identifying new efficiencies to improve productivity, new tools to
improve safety and finding better ways to serve the public will help us to maintain services. Evaluating and maintaining programs to help people feel safer in our parks and the transit center including educational materials, signage, and volunteer programs and enhancing pedestrian safety and improved street lighting. It may also be necessary to review and adopt ordinances to deal with problem property owners and landlords where illegal activity continues to occur. Transportation issues need to be part of our comprehensive planning process especially incorporation of major projects. Redevelopment should enhance function, pedestrian safety, attractive landscaping and improved street lighting. Regional representation on transportation and transit boards is imperative to make sure that Renton’s interests are maintained. 3. Why do you want to be on the council? ASHER: Renton residents have told me we need open, inclusive city government and have asked me to work with them to make a change. To make a difference council members can’t just sit and listen, they should act on opportunities and concerns presented to them and give feedback to our community. Council members must actively support all voices being heard so that policy decisions benefit the majority of the city. I would be extremely honored to work with and for our community and be a voice of change for Renton. BRIERE: I am proud of my commitment to our community and hope to continue my work with a focus on improving quality of life, including opportunities for our citizens of diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds, and ages and abilities; enhancing Renton’s neighborhoods and housing; and sustaining

center. This “seeding” would let us attract public and private partners to redevelop our core. The proposal is on my website. Then we link our retail districts by using shuttles carrying the “Ahead of the Curve” logo to help our small business corridors thrive. Our three triangular retail corridors also include amenities like Carco Park, Liberty Park, the library, and civic destinations like City Hall and the transit center. Convenient linking could lower congestion and encourage a more walk and bike friendly Renton. BRIERE: Parks! The city with local funding partners is just completing the accessible Meadow Crest Playground in the Highlands. In the past few years Renton has had to close park buildings and limit programs because of funding shortages. Park development is expensive and the park waiting list span decades into the future. The Tri-Park Master Plan for Liberty and Cedar River parks and Ron Regis Park Plan would include active play areas, additional fields and much more. The Benson Hill Community plan outlines parks need design plans done. And lands need to be purchased for new parks and trails. Our residents love our parks and trails but the city could offer so much more if more funding was available.
In the meantime we continue to look for grants and other funding opportunities and partners to continue development of our wonder full park system. 8. You and your opponent both obviously care very much for the city. Why should voters choose you over your opponent? ASHER: I’ve demonstrated that I’m willing to go to bat for Renton residents. We all want local leadership that gives us common sense solutions and works toward a thriving Renton community. Engaging our diverse groups of residents in decision-making, and partnering with businesses and community groups will give us better ways to address community opportunities and concerns. Empowering residents to shape Renton’s future will improve local decision-making, create a shared sense of ownership, and strengthen Renton’s cultural and economic makeup. BRIERE: I am a lifetime resident of Renton and passionate about my community. I believe I have the knowledge, expertise, judgment and integrity, including strong financial, employee and customer-service skills, the ability to balance many needs and demands, the vision to see the big picture and leadership to make the tough deci-
sions for the city. Working on City Council is being part of a team, with the council, mayor and staff, to address difficulties and opportunities effectively. Issues can be controversial and include working diligently with diverse interests to try to find consensus on many difficult topics. I am proud of the work we have done to engage all the interested parties and work through the issues one by one. Of course, not everyone will be happy with the outcome but I believe that most understood the decisions and were able to abide them. 9. Finally, what is the current council and administration doing right? ASHER: Our city has weathered a severe economic crisis and wisely drawn on volunteer organizations for help. Renton will continue to be a roll-up-the-shirtsleeves and volunteer community, and I’ll be proud to work with city staff on our integrated budget and with our entire community to create a healthy, safe and economically vibrant Renton. BRIERE: Economic Development and Planning. Renton has done a good job maintaining our financial stability through economic development. Renton has diversified our employers so we are not totally

dependent on Boeing for employment. But we are committed to doing our part to protect Renton’s position as the center of aerospace in the Puget Sound area. In Olympia we are working to secure funding for the Central Sound Aerospace Training Center at Renton Airport. We also worked with Boeing in the last decade to find uses for the acres of parking they no longer required. This became the Landing and the 880 apartments in the area. And now we are working closely with the owners of 21 acres just south of The Landing to ensure this property is developed to the best and highest use. Discussions continue on a possible office complex at Southport, at the south end of Coulon Park. We have brought the Seattle Seahawks Headquarters to Renton. That brings more than 20,000 to the annual training camp in Renton during the summer. And plans are being developed for the 20-acre Port Quendall site on Lake Washington next to the Seahawks headquarters. Other employers continue to relocate or expand in Renton making more opportunities for residents to live and work here. Ballots are due Nov. 5.

He apologized to the Scholl family, whom he said had taken him into their home. “I betrayed that trust and care,” said Lane. He said he wished he could take Jessica’s place. “I took a precious and valuable life that ended far too early,” he said. Before sentencing Lane, Yu said, “Mr. Lane, I still see you as a human being.” He can still make contributions, even in prison, she said, and she said she believes in rehabilitation. Jessica’s father Doug said after the sentencing he had asked for another 10 years of prison time for Lane. “It will never be enough in my eyes,” he said. The 33-year sentence is the maximum allowed under the law. Lane had pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and first-degree arson and time was added because weapons were used. Talk of rehabilitating Lane also upset him, Scholl said. “What right does he have to rehabilitation?” he asked. “My daughter doesn’t get a right to rehabilitation.”

Q/A | with David Brown – Owner, Fox Plumbing & Heating “How did Fox Plumbing & HeatQ ing get started?” :
A
: Virgil Fox started the company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping every customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.
Q
:
“What plumbing services do you offer? And do you do both repair and installation?”
A
: If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both fix ailing systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in fixing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be fixed we fix it. We offer a full range of plumbing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by offering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catching problems early. We’re very excited to announce that
we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our staff, providing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.
the problem. After an emergency many of our customers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great improvements in their plumbing systems.
Q “Do you guarantee your services?” A :
: Absolutely, we have the best written warranties in the business. We provide our customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experience with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from current customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satisfied customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.
an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about afterhours and on Q “In the weekends?” :
A
: Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks and furnaces can’t tell time and often chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut off videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we often get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we fix
I have used FOX Plumbing several times over the years for various problems. Prior to calling them I had used 2 other local companies and found them more interested in selling their products than fixing my problems. FOX has always been responsive, they explain what needs to be done, why and how they will do it--and at a reasonable cost. I own an older home and their staff know their stuff, they are polite and thoughtful of the customers needs. - Nancy Travis, Seattle

The Schlegel’s haunted house is located at 324 Williams Ave. N. in North Renton. The haunted house will be open from 6 to 11 p.m. Oct. 31. It is free and open to the public, but they request a donation of pet food for the Humane Society.
The Schlegels, Christy, Todd, Mason, 7, Mira, 9 and Memphis, 3, are ready to scare up some fun this Halloween. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter visited the house that year. Last year, the couple decided not to host the haunted house because of the work involved the previous year. “I was prying out staples and still scraping dried fake blood off my walls nine months after the last time!” Christy says. But as fall approached this season, Todd’s thoughts again turned to the haunt and the family decided to go for it again this season. Todd said he wants to
bring Halloween back to a good, old-fashioned scarefest and away from the candy-based holiday he sees today. “It feels like the stuff we grew up with,” says Christy of the family’s October experiences. This year, work on the house began Oct. 1. It will wrap up with all of the furniture being pulled out on the big night to make way for kids. So far, more than 30
friends and neighbors have agreed to play roles at the haunted house. Christy said it wasn’t too difficult to get friends to dress up and play along. “We were like ‘Do you want to scare some kids?’ and people were like ‘Yeah!’” she said with a laugh. Along with neighbors, the whole family gets in on the act with the couple’s three kids, Mira, 9, Mason, 7 and Memphis, 3, all playing roles. Mira will be featured in the family’s living room and is all ready for her big role. “It’s awesome fun,” she said. “My favorite part is when I get the teenage boys to cry.” The house will be free and open to the public on Halloween night, though anyone going through will have to sign a waiver. The couple is also asking that people bring donations of pet food (cans, bags, treats, etc.) that they said will be donated to the Humane So-
ciety, where the couple got all three of their dogs (who will be safe in a neighbor’s yard on Halloween). The donation is not necessary – the Schlegels are in it for the fun – but requested. For Todd and Christy, the
hope is that their children will remember these experiences their whole lives and potentially carry it on with their families. “I hope they continue this tradition when they have kids,” Christy said.

This year, Todd and his wife Christy have turned their North Renton home into a haunted house that will be open to all on Halloween night. The idea, according to Todd, is to give kids “something a little more than just getting candy.” Along with the elaborate graveyard out front, the Schlegels have created a series of 10 vignettes for inside and behind their home that trick-or-treaters will have to negotiate to get candy. Each room of the house is presently covered with trash bags and spider webs and on the big night they will be transformed into various scary themes, from zombies, conjuring and scary clowns to rooms based on classic horror movies such as “The Exorcist,” “Rosemary’s Baby” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” This is the second time the family has turned their home into a haunted house. Two years ago, on what was essentially a whim two weeks before the big day, Todd suggested that instead of just turning the family’s carport into a haunt, the whole house be utilized. Initially, Christy balked; but being an interior designer, her creative impulses soon took over and the next thing they knew, the whole house was haunted for the holiday. “This fills that creative void,” said Christy, who no longer works in design but instead owns Rise and Shine Pet Care with Todd out of their home. “I get to create something.” And while most interior designers do not work in trash bags and spider webs, the Schlegel home is fully spooked out from floor to ceiling. “I feel like I missed my calling in life,” Christy says with a laugh.

Where charter schools will start becoming clear We’re learning this week where Washington’s first charter schools may open in 2014 and who may operate them. Nonprofit organizations had until Tuesday to let the Washington Charter School Commission know if they intend to apply to run one of these publicly funded campuses. Full applications are due in a month. Of the nearly two dozen letters of intent received, none proposed pursuing this new venture in education in Snohomish County, the state’s third-largest county. Rather, there’s interest in converting a small private school in Spokane Valley and launching a military academy for middle- and highschool-aged students in Grays Harbor, Mason and Thurston counties. In Yakima, there’s one group designing a dual language — English and Spanish — elementary school and another proposing a campus with a curriculum focused on preparing at-risk high-schoolers for college. There also are people wanting charter schools in Enumclaw, Toppenish, Sunnyside. Professional charter-school management outfits want in as well, with firms looking to bring their brand of educating to elementary and secondary students in Seattle and Tacoma starting in 2015. The applications due Nov. 22 must detail the proposed curriculum, budget and staffing, as well as provide background on those who will serve on the school’s board of directors. Commissioners won’t green light any charter schools until February. Jerry Cornfield

OPINION
[8] October 25, 2013
Initiative 522 loses ground What a difference $14.3 million can make. Foes of Initiative 522 have spent that much so far attacking the food-labeling initiative and it is paying off. The latest Elway Poll found the measure has lost nearly one-third of its support in the past month. That is when the No on 522 committee began airing television commercials and mailing out literature on the purported warts of the measure requiring labels on foods containing genetically modified ingredients. I-522 is leading 46 percent to 42 percent with 12 percent undecided in the survey of 413 registered voters conducted Oct. 15-17 by Seattle pollster Stuart Elway. That’s a big tumble from mid-September when Elway found 66 percent of voters endorsed the initiative and only 21 percent opposed. Not surprisingly, advertising is changing people’s minds. Three out of four voters who had seen only ads for one side or the other planned to vote in the direction of the ads they have seen, he wrote in an analysis of the results. “Those who have seen no advertising [ more cornfield page 10 ]

Letters to the editor Beth Asher for council: She’s a problem solver Beth Asher is a woman set on solving difficult problems that have been dragging Renton down. With 38 years as a resident, she has seen the positives and the negatives in the town she loves. The City of Renton has done many things well, but there are some areas that seriously need improving. First is city budget. Beth has been working with other residents in getting ideas, practical solutions to improve the productivity of the quarter of a billion dollars that is the city budget. While Beth is very savvy on ways to save money through better analysis and expenditure controls, her great ability of bringing others into the problem-solving solution gives her fresh perspectives and creative ways to get a lot more service out of the same dollar. Beth’s encouragement of residents to share their collective insight brings new ideas on ways to effectively and economically solve nagging problems such as the lack of new affordable housing in Renton. There’s a building boom beginning in Renton with many new projects under construction. But, though the Growth Management Act and the city’s housing regulations require at least 20 percent of new construction to be affordable housing, there’s almost no Renton housing being built for residents in the lower half of the median income. It will take cooperation with the city government, which Beth is capable of creating, to encourage the private sector to build the needed new homes. Beth can attract caring, trained, well-educated people to create solutions that will solve this housing shortage and bring Renton’s citizens an equitable, thriving community. Beth
will work for improving downtown Renton, encouraging a regulation environment that is friendlier for the small businesses providing the bulk of employment for the people of Renton. Small businesses will find the improving Renton interaction less limiting. With an improved business climate, more jobs and better compensation will provide a better quality of life for Renton residents. Beth’s proven track record with the Cedar River Library shows that Beth knows how to get things done by inspiring people and getting them to work together. We are blessed to have Beth Asher running for City Council.

Pavone has right tools in backpack A few years back I ran into Armondo Pavone at Liberty Café. It was right around the time when the economy had gone nuclear and he was carrying a box that held a few sandwiches wrapped in cellophane with the familiar Armondo logo. For a moment I was tempted to feel sorry for him; it was a far cry from the successful restaurateur of two busy restaurants in downtown Renton. But at the same time I was impressed by his tenacity. It was clear that when the chips were down, and despite all his past successes, Armondo does not give up easily. And, I had no doubt he would figure it out. Clearly he has. As many know he is running for City Council. As a business leader, Armondo has advised many small business owners in Renton over the years on how to fill their “backpack” on the road to success. I first heard of Armondo’s “backpack analogy” years ago through my sister, Cheryl Danza, when she first opened CD Danza Salon & Spa in downtown Renton 13 years ago. He coached my sister on tools to fill up her personal “backpack:” books to read, a good business plan, etc. But I have never forgotten a piece of advice that he gave her, “Never throw egg in someone’s face.” Especially now with the insanity going on with the government it seems very fortuitous that Armondo would value the importance of taking the high road as a tool for success. I have no doubt that Armondo has all the tools to be an excellent city councilman. He believes in people, whether it’s a hairdresser with big ideas of turning an old Napa Auto parts store in downtown Renton into a beautiful salon, or an artist who dreamed
Now Open
of opening a unique craft store, or a white guy with long dreads who wanted a place where people could gather around a cup of Joe, or me, a mom with an entourage of kids who dreams of a cooking with kids TV show...it doesn’t matter who you are, Armondo sees value in big dreams, hard work and community. So he can add my support to his backpack!

Stuart: Service and stewardship! He is a man of integrity, which I hear from everyone who knows him. He’s honest, smart, ethical and sincerely interested in people. He’s also strong enough to stand up to the “powers that be” in a respectful but firm manner, as we have seen with the LIBRARY issue in the

past few years. Stuart’s 28 years with the same company as operations VP demonstrates his commitment and dedication to excellence. Beth: SMART! “Whip smart” I’ve called her for years. She’s an amazing researcher, always wanting to learn. She’s excited to meet new people, interested to hear their views. Folks gravitate toward her outgoing, friendly demeanor. She has an amazing energy and enthusiasm. And persistence, as evidenced by the multi-year library struggle. Both of these two may be cast as “oneissue” candidates but nothing is further from the truth. They have faithfully come to council meetings for the past several years to learn about Renton. They have a good grasp of current issues council is dealing with and spend time getting educated. Stuart and Beth have the character and quality to be outstanding council members representing our community. That’s why I’ve endorsed them and will be working hard for them this campaign season.

planned to vote ‘yes’ by a 17-point margin — about the same margin the ‘yes’ side had before the advertising blitz began,” Elway wrote. For the Yes on 522 committee — which has spent $5.4 million — the silver lining is that the measure is still ahead. And Elway says history favors them winning, too. Since 1992, 17 of 22 initiatives which had support above 60 percent in Elway polls conducted in September wound up winning. “Momentum is on the side of I-522 opponents, but history is on the side of proponents,” he wrote.

Find the 10 differences
Tips, ways to be safe on Halloween Halloween can be a spooky time of year for motorists and pedestrians as trick-or-treaters walk in and near roadways. In fact, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reports that Oct. 31 is one of the deadliest nights of the year for pedestrians. AAA urges motorists to slow down and drive with caution, especially in low-lit neighborhoods between the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight when pedestrians are most vulnerable. Also, if you plan to attend a Halloween party, arrange a sober driver to avoid the risks of impaired driving.

Choose disguises that don't obstruct vision, opt for non-toxic face paint instead of masks, and add reflective material or tape to keep kids visible. • Trick-or-Treat together. AAA recommends that parents accompany young trick-or-treaters. • Make a plan. Review trick-or-treat safety precautions and plan your route ahead of time. Remind children never to cross the street mid-block or from between parked cars. • Buckle up. Use appropriate seat belts or car seats. Have children exit, enter on the passenger side of the vehicle.

“Halloween can be a fun night for spooky celebrations and pranks, but impaired driving is no joke,” said Jennifer Cook, senior manager of corporate communications at AAA Washington. “Many vehicle-pedestrian crashes and fatalities can be prevented if drivers don’t get behind the wheel after drinking.” Tips to keep safe: • Avoid driving through neighborhoods. If possible, avoid cutting through residential streets where trick-ortreaters are likely to be. • Watch for children in the street. Trick-or-treaters may not pay attention to cars and cross mid-block or between parked cars. • Slow down. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, a pedestrian is more than twice as likely to be killed if they’re hit by a car

Transient takes cake into bathroom; he’ll pay for it
The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. By DEAN A. RADFORD
There was only one man in the bathroom when the officer entered, the one with a cake and a piece of fruit in his pocket. Police were called Oct. 7 after an older man who had been barred twice from Safeway on South Third Street was seen walking into the restroom. He gave the officer his name and said he would pay for the cake and fruit. The name wasn’t the man’s, who “remembered” his correct name after leaving the bathroom. After paying, the 52-year-old transient was escorted from the store, cited again for trespassing and was told he would be arrested if he did so again.

A man suspected of multiple thefts of motorcycles in south Renton managed to elude a K9 track Oct. 8 off Petrovitsky Road. The motorcycle was spotted at about 11:30 p.m. going more than 60 mph near 116th Avenue Southeast, driving in oncoming lanes of traffic. The motorcyclist stopped, raised the visor on his helmet, then sped off after the officer told him to turn off motorcycle. With the officer in pursuit, the motorcyclist turned into an apartment complex, where he crashed the motorcycle. He fled down a path; a K9 unit lost the track at about Southeast 168th Street and Southeast 170th Place. The suspect, who is in his 20s, approximately 5-foot 10 and 170 pounds, matches the description of the suspect in several similar thefts. The motorcycle wasn’t listed as stolen, but it was painted black while its license record indicated it was purple.
Elderly man arrested for indecent exposure A 73-year-old Renton man standing in his open garage was arrested for indecent exposure Oct. 9 after his robe was open while a mother and young son were walking by. The man, who was naked underneath the robe, tried to act innocent and indicated he didn’t know what was the problem. Police were called, who interviewed mother the 4-year-old boy. The boy described what he saw. Asked how he felt, the boy peeked up at the officer from his facedown position and whispered “bad.” The mother had just dropped off her

The Renton Civic Theatre’s season continues this week with the opening of Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None.” In this mystery, also known as “The Ten Little Indians,” comedy statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel of a house on an island off the coast of Devon fall to the floor and break one by one as those in the house succumb to a diabolical avenger. Eight guests who have never met each other or the apparently absent host and hostesses are lured to the island and, along with the two house servants, marooned. A mysterious voice accuses each of having
gotten away with murder and then one drops dead — poisoned. One down and nine to go! The excitement never lets up in this play. “And Then There Were None” opens at 8 p.m. Friday and runs through Nov. 9. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $22 for adults, $17 for students and seniors. For tickets, call the box office at 425-226-5529 or visit www.rentoncivicthetare.org. Renton Civic Theatre is located at 507 S. Third St.

Published in the Renton Reporter on October 25, 2013. #905569 NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS October 25, 2013 King County, Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS), Attn: Randy Poplock, Environmental Review Specialist, 401 Fifth Ave., Suite 510, Seattle, WA 98104, (206) 263-9099
These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by King County DCHS. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about November 13, 2013, King County DCHS will submit a request to the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as the Renton Meadow Crest Playground – Sidewalks and Benches (Project #C13752), for the purpose of installing eight picnic tables and replace approximately 900 square feet of existing sidewalk with an ADA accessible sidewalk, at the Meadow Crest Playground at the Meadow Crest Early Learning Center, at 3000 NE 16th St., Renton, WA 98056. Estimated total funding for the project is approximately $22,155 in CDBG funds. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT King County DCHS has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at King County DCHS, at the address above, where the ERR may be examined or copied weekdays from 8am to 4:30pm. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to King County DCHS, attention Randy Poplock, at the address above. All comments received by close of business on November 12, 2013, will be considered by King County DCHS prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should
specify which Notice they are addressing. RELEASE OF FUNDS King County DCHS certifies to HUD that Jackie MacLean, in her capacity as Department Director, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows King County DCHS to use CDBG funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the RE’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of King County DCHS; (b) King County DCHS has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to the HUD’s Community Planning and Development Office at Seattle Federal Office Building, 909 First Avenue, Suite 300, Seattle, WA 98104-1000. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period. Jackie MacLean, DCHS Director Published in the Renton Reporter on October 25, 2013. #905956.

Alliance a key issue in hospital district race Valley Eye and Laser Center PS, whose officers are Dr. Paul Joos and Dr. Peter Jones. They practice together at the clinic on the Valley Medical campus. Joos is the president of the Public Hospital District board. Jones also personally contributed $800 to Sleeter’s campaign. As of Wednesday under full reporting, Sleeter had raised $11,900, including a $5,000 personal loan, and spent $868, according to the Public Disclosure Commission. Bowman of Renton is using the disclosure commission’s mini-reporting, which means she isn’t required to file detailed financial reports to the state. To meet the mini-reporting standard, she must raise and spend no more than $5,000 and collect no more than $500 total from any one contributor. Bowman said she hopes she has some name recognition, but “I am just not a campaigner,” she said. Sleeter’s residency in the district was challenged by community member Jim Sullivan, but the county’s elections director ruled she lives in the district. Bowman in her statement in the voters pamphlet states that Sleeter doesn’t live in the district. The pamphlet was printed before the elections director ruled on Sleeter’s residency. Bowman is profiled first, based on an alphabetical listing of the candidates’ names.
But for many years the commission had a hired parliamentarian to help keep order on the board. Unfortunately, she said, the dissension didn’t go away. But she’s not going to give up, hoping that a new member (and her re-election) will create a “good majority” on the board and a “let’s play together” attitude. The strategic alliance has been in place for slightly more than two years. Its implementation, Bowman said, “is going great.” “Oh, gosh, it’s amazing what the U-Dub is bringing to us and what we are bringing to them,” she said. She says “wholeheartedly” that the alliance is not at risk because of a lawsuit now before the state Court of Appeals. “That alliance will never be broken,” she said, adding “it was no easy task” for UW Medicine and Valley CEO Rich Roodman to make the alliance work. If there was a big challenge, it was the dissension among staff, at all levels, about the alliance, she said. “I don’t see that anymore.” Some have questioned whether the elected commission gave up too much authority to the appointed alliance Board of Trustees, the crux of the lawsuit before the appeals court. But the elected commission still has much authority, she said, and has “a lot of say” on the trustee board. “I don’t see it as a problem,” she said. “When we put this alliance together, we had meetings all over the community. We had meetings at our board meetings, explaining to the commissioners how this was going to happen,” she said. The alliance, she said, isn’t “overtaking anything.” There was and is an agreement and the commissioners still have an important part to play, she said.

Dr. Tamara Sleeter
By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Dr. Tamara Sleeter has delivered about 5,000 babies during the last 30 years or so; her obstetrics practice is across the street from Valley Medical Center Sue Bowman spent a career in hospital administration; she has served as a hospital district commissioner for six years, at a time when Valley Medical was and is facing strong financial headwinds. Sleeter is challenging Bowman for her Position 5 seat on the five-member Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Commissioners. The hospital district owns Valley Medical Center. Sleeter has never run for political office, but she has watched Valley Medical Center grow during the last three decades. “At this stage in my career I welcome the opportunity to participate in the future of the hospital by being on the board,” she said. “I’ve been here many years and I feel that I have something to bring to the table in terms of experience, thoughts and wisdom. And it’s on that basis that I am running.” Bowman was encouraged to run in 2007, after the hospital district failed overwhelmingly to annex a large area in southeast King County. She beat the incumbent, Gary Kohlwes, easily, even though she was out of the country for much of the campaign. She had to dispel the notion she was running with another commission candidate Anthony Hemstad, as a reformer. That wasn’t the case. “I was just going to listen and see where I could make some kind of changes but certainly not to take on people,” she said in an interview. “That’s how I have floated these last six years, was being by myself.” She served two years as the commission president and was part of the three-member commission majority that approved the strategic alliance between the hospital district and UW Medicine. Sleeter of Renton has chosen the option of full reporting of campaign financing to the state Public Disclosure Commission. The largest contribution as of Wednesday – $5,000 – to Sleeter’s campaign was from

Bowman always thought that boards and commissions “trusted each other and you worked together in unity,” which, she said, wasn’t happening on the hospital board. She hoped to “get these people to play together in the sandbox,” she said.
The biggest challenges facing the hospital district are economic, said Sleeter. “We are in a tight situation; the rolling recession has finally rolled over medical care,” she said. Facing the district are decreasing reim-
bursements and a higher mix of low-paying payers, the amount of money the hospital is writing off, and the ongoing expenses with some of the hospital’s expansions and the new electronic records system. “I think we need to look closely at all our expenses overall – salaries, wages, benefits – including not just employees but administration as well,” she said. The close look includes Rich Roodman’s pay. “Considering he’s one of the highest-paid CEOs in the hospital business, I wonder if that’s an appropriate spot to pare some of our expenses,” she said. Hospital commissioners also sit on the alliance Board of Trustees. The alliance board, she said, is a “very broad, overlying board that is overseeing the hospital to a certain extent.” It includes many members from outside the district and the five hospital commissioners. District commissioners “were elected to be trustees of the public’s money and the public’s interest in having a public district hospital,” she said. District commissioners, Sleeter said, have “given some of their financial responsibilities to the overlying board without really listening to the taxpayers.” Had she been a hospital district commissioner, Sleeter said she probably would have approved the alliance, “but with more respect for its citizens of the hospital district.” The board could have shown that respect by asking district residents what they thought of the alliance. “I think it’s inevitable we have an alliance, if we want to survive,” she said. In recent years, the hospital district board has “been a wee bit dysfunctional,” she said. “I can be a bridge between the physicians on the board and the non-physicians on the board,” she said. “I kind of have a balanced approach and the years of experience in dealing with people who have different ideas. They might find that I am a moderator to some extent.”

Highlander volleyball tops Lindbergh 3-1 By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Lindbergh and Hazen squared off this week in an intra-district volley battle that saw the Highlanders come out on top.

Hazen jumped out to a lead with a 25-20 first-set win, but the Eagles battled back, winning the second set 25-23. The Highlanders controlled the third set 25-12. In the fourth set, the teams went back and forth, with Hazen needing 30 points to get the eventual
30-28 victory in the set and the match. Kelsey Allen had 22 kills for Hazen while Marcela Macias had 28 digs and four aces. Sarah Sherrod had 28 assists and two blocks while Shelby Sturman added nine aces and eight kills.

Hazen soccer beats Highline, Foster By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Hazen soccer moved to 4-0 in league standings this after a strong showing against 3A foe Highline and a win Tuesday over the Foster Bulldogs. The Oct. 17 victory over Highline wasn’t easy, according to coach Ken Matthews, as Hazen spotted the Pirates an early penalty kick goal, but the Highlanders rallied for an impressive 6-2 win. Hazen started strong in the game. Matthews is fine tuning his roster for their push to the playoffs. Playing and starting her first game as a permanent varsity squad member, freshmen midfielder Amy Warmenhoven bounced a shot off the cross bar at about two minutes into the game. There wasn’t much more for Hazen in the first few minutes. Highline took advantage and scored on a penalty kick four minutes into the game. Sophomore keeper Brittany Dinkins got a finger on the shot but Highline went up 1-0. Nine minutes later, senior attacking midfielder Brianne Sherin and senior forward Chelsea Delgado got the Highlanders on the board. In a one-minute span, Hazen took the lead and added another goal. Senior captain and defender Gabby [ more soccer page 23 ]

Boysen gets two life sentences for killing grandparents By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Michael Chadd Boysen was sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison without possibility of parole Oct. 18 for killing his grandparents at their Fairwood home in March. The sentencing came after King County Superior Court Judge Douglass North rejected his attorneys’ attempts to sentence the 27-year-old Boysen to 40 years for murdering Robert and Norma Taylor, who were in their 80s. Boysen’s family spoke before the sentence was imposed, talking about a son and nephew, and the parents he killed. Melanie Taylor – Boysen’s mother and the daughter of the murdered Taylors –
expressed her love for her son and told of the scene she faced when she found her parents dead in a closet after a family party welcoming Boysen home from prison. Boysen’s grandparents had just picked him up at the state prison in Monroe, where he had served nine months for an attempted residential burglary in Kent. After killing his grandparents, Boysen fled in their car to Oregon, when he was arrested after a 10-hour standoff with police at a Lincoln City motel. Taylor told the court that her son had changed when he became a drug addict. “We have always loved you, Chadd,” she said. Boysen’s uncle, Robert Taylor, said his nephew was just after “easy money” when he robbed his grandparents.
[ soccer from page 19]
Brower got a goal from a free kick and Sherin got her second from an assist by junior forward Brook Swensen to give Hazen a 3-1 lead at the half. In the second half, Swensen got a goal at 51 minutes assisted by Sherin. Highline got a goal a minute later. Erin Zetterberg got an unassisted goal and also assisted on Delgado’s goal. “There were periods of time where we were so impressive. There’s this elusive ‘it’ where we go into a sort of a zone. It is so pretty to watch the flow from back to front,” said Matthews. “We got great play all across the field tonight.”
[ football from page 18]
As the second half began, Kennedy scored again, this one on a 29-yard run play. But Renton battled back, pulling to 13-7 with a 27-yard touchdown run from quarterback Elijah Clayton and then getting it even closer with a 35-yard field goal from Zach Hasson. The teams headed to the final quarter with Kennedy ahead 13-10. But that was as close as the Indians would get, with Kennedy scoring one more touchdown on a 5-yard run for a final score of 20-10. Renton (2-2 league, 3-4 overall) plays at
His statement was read by a victims’ advocate. As he walked back to his seat, Robert Taylor told Boysen, “I forgive you.” Boysen jumped up and swore at an aunt when she recounted how her nephew had planned the killing of her parents. There were six guards in the courtroom. Boysen also spoke, hoping that his family would forgive him but expressing doubt that they would. For several minutes, he railed against what he called the poor treatment he received from the legal system and in the King County Jail, where he was held for about seven months. He attempted suicide in jail and was treated at Harborview Medical Center 16 times, he said.
Against Foster on Tuesday, Hazen wore down the Bulldogs and after a scoreless first half rang up a six goals in a 23-minute span for a 6-0 win. Swensen had a hat trick for the Highlanders, scoring three goals. Sherin also had two goals and two assists. Senior forward Chelsea Delgado had a goal and an assist and sophomore midfielder Madison Kraemer had two assists while junior midfielder Emma Lorrigan got an assist. “Statistically we were dominating. Shots were 26 to one, corners were eight to one. We have to be better at turning those two things into goals by Thursday,” said Matthews in a press release. Lindbergh heads to Franklin to play the Quakers at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Evergreen at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Lindbergh 40, Highline 6 The Lindbergh Eagles football team remained undefeated this weekend with a 40-6 win Friday night at Highline. The 7-0 Eagles are the only team in the Seamount League without a loss, though Kennedy Catholic is 4-0 in Seamount League play this season (4-3 overall). The two teams will play on Halloween, the season’s final weekend. Highline falls to 0-7 with the loss. No stats were available for Friday’s game.
Hazen 49, Bainbridge 35 The Hazen Highlander football program picked up its second consecutive win on Friday with a 49-35 victory over Bainbridge. The Highlanders are now 2-2 in the league and 3-4 overall. No statistics were available for Friday’s game. Hazen plays Foster at 7 p.m. Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.
His voice lowered when he spoke of his grandparents, “whether I have a right to or not.” “There are few people I loved more than my grandparents,” he said. They were, he said, like second parents to him. He looked up to his grandfather, who gave him good advice about how to be a man, and his grandmother could lift his spirits when he was having a bad day, he said. He said he can’t believe his family would think that he would shoot his grandparents or would choose drugs over them. “Drugs had nothing to do with this,” he said, followed by a long pause. “I hope someday my family will forgive me. I hope someday I can forgive myself. But I see it as unlikely,” he said.
