Briere and Pavone headed to victory in City Council races By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
With the first batch of votes counted, incumbent Terri Briere and businessman Armondo Pavone have big leads over their opponents and appear to be headed to victory in Tuesday’s Renton City Council election. As of Wednesday, Briere had earned 4,974 votes, or 56.70 percent to challenger
Beth Asher’s 3,779 votes, or 43.08 percent. Pavone’s lead was even bigger as he collected 5,438 votes, or 60.89 percent to opponent Stuart Avery’s 3,471 votes, or 38.86 percent. More results will be released each day, but the size of the gaps will be difficult to make up for Asher and Avery. After the results were announced, Briere told a packed party of supporters that she was “relieved” and appreciated the “won-
derful opportunity to come back” to the council. Briere said going in to election day she did not have a good feel for how the race would go and credited her opponent with running a good campaign. “Beth’s campaigned really hard,” she said. This was Briere’s fourth re-election to the council. She was first appointed in 2000, then won re-election in 2001, 2005 and 2009.
Pavone called the campaign an “amazing experience” and said he really looked forward to getting started on the council. Pavone thanked his family, his supporters and the volunteers on his campaign. When asked what committees he thought he might like to be a part of, he said planning and development seemed exciting, but he also wanted to see all the different aspects of life on the council.

City Council approves moratorium on pot businesses By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Residents fed up over bed-bug charges Seniors at Spencer Court still sleeping on air mattresses and facing collections over clean-up efforts from July infestation By Sarah Kehoe skehoe@rentonreporter.com
Spencer Court resident Carol Sanders, 60, gathered 20 residents together this week in the social room of the assisted living facility to take action against her landlord. Sanders says the Senior Housing Assistance Group (SHAG) in

control of the property is neglectful of the premises and disrespectful to their residents. A bed bug infestation affecting the property since late July is the biggest concern to the residents. They were told to put their belongings in garbage bags and their beds were taken out of the room while treatment was administered. Months later, bed bugs are still swarming their rooms and many are sleeping on air mattresses or sleeping bags on the floor. They reported having to get rid of mattresses, bed frames, plants, clothes, food and other household items. “I am sleeping on a couch that is too short for me, so my legs [ more BED bugs page 4 ]

Anyone looking to start a marijuana business in Renton is going to have to wait just a little bit longer. The Renton City Council on Monday passed a six-month moratorium on all marijuana-related businesses, including production, manufacturing, retail and medical uses. The moratorium is designed to allow the council the opportunity to draft new rules on how the city deals with the formerly illegal enterprises, including zoning, though council President Randy Corman was quick to say the council was not trying to ban the businesses from the city. “There’s a lot of moving pieces we have to put in place,” Corman said. “It is important for this community we get it right.” The council earlier this year discussed simply treating the retail outlets as though [ more POT page 11 ]

“I kind of want to experience all of it,” he said. At their election-night party, Asher and Avery, both first-time candidates for council, said they were disappointed but planned to stay involved in city issues. Both also held out hope that the numbers would shift as more ballots came in. “We’re not done yet because all the ballots haven’t been counted,” said Asher. Asher also vowed to run again in the future and build on what she learned in her first campaign. “We need a change and we’re going to get it,” she said. “Now there are some things I know I will do next time.” Avery struck a more conciliatory tone and said he had hoped his race would be closer than it appeared on election night. He said he would continue to “plug myself into the community.” “I care deeply about Renton,” he said, adding that this campaign was a “sharpening experience” for him, though he was not sure if he would run for office again in the future.

and neck stick out,” said Larry Ellingson, 71. “I’ve been living uncomfortably for far too long.” The residents were each given a bill of $400 from Spencer Court management to help pay for pest-control treatments and were told they would be sent to collections if they didn’t pay a minimum fee by the end of October. Residents of the low-income facility say this is extra money they simply can’t pay. “We feel like they are taking advantage of the helpless and bullying us,” Sanders said. “Many of us are already having to choose between paying for our meds or buying food. Not only can we not make this payment, it is illegal for them to charge us for something they should be taking care of for us.” Washington State law states landlords must “provide a reasonable program for the control of infestation by insects, rodents, and other pests at the initiation of the tenancy and, except in the case of a single-family residence, control infestation during tenancy except where such infestation is caused by the tenant.” The tenants stated they were never blamed for causing the infestation. They were told it was occurring and to take appropriate steps or they would be charged. “I think I’m on SHAG’s craplist,” Sanders said, laughing.

“They are getting really irritated with me, but I am fighting not only for me and my husband, but all the residents I have come to care for in this facility.” Many residents stated they are too ill to delve too far into the issue and have relied on Carol to rally for them. “I don’t mind stepping up because I am tired of bad treatment and want our voices to be heard,” Carol said. Not being able to afford an attorney, Carol Resident Peggy Moore holds a bag has gone to a few local of bedbugs she found in her room. legal-aid centers to get Sarah Kehoe, Renton Reporter advice. She has several documents printed out to support her claim that Spencer Court residents are not liable for pest control services. “I want to leave, but I’m stuck because I can’t afford to go,” said Peggy Moore, resident. “I’ve got bites all over my body and have been to the doctor several times to get treatment for them.” Residents say this is one of many examples of neglect happening within their facility. Many reported having broken freezers, cracks in their ceilings bringing in water, lights around the facility burning out and flooded hallways. “We report our problems to the office but they never respond,” said Butch Sanders, 61. “Or if they say they’ll fix it, they don’t get to it for weeks or even months.” The Spencer Court building has been up for sale for a few months. “We think maybe that’s why (SHAG) is neglecting this
location,” said Don Edmund, resident. “They don’t care because they are going to sell it, so they are not wanting to spend the money on us. And we haven’t even been told what will happen to us if the building sells.” Carol says the infestation was not properly handled by the facility since the start. “There were delays in treatments and inspections that I believe caused the bugs to spread,” she said. “Also they rarely ever vacuum the hallways.” The lease document Carol and her husband signed states “the landlord agrees to regularly clean and keep in safe condition all common areas….provide extermination service when necessary and maintain the grounds.” Executive Director of SHAG Jay Woolford says the managers at Spencer Court are addressing the issue the best way they can. “Like many folks that operate family communities we have had issues with bed bugs in our facilities before and as long as we are notified by our residents that the problem exists, we are quick about getting our people out there,” he said. “Typically if the resident cooperates and works with team they are not billed for charges, but in other situations residents are charged if they are the root cause or are not doing what they need to do in preparing the unit or getting rid of things that could harbor the pests. I wish I could say it was an easy solution, but it can be an issue.” Woolford stated SHAG does its best to meet the residents’ needs quickly. “Our property teams are pretty responsive and like any organization, sometimes it doesn’t happen as swiftly as residents would like,” Woolford said. “We don’t just arbitrarily charge residents for these kind of situations; we are mindful of the economic duress this can cause. We try and treat every situation in an equitable way.” Many Spencer Court residents say they are not going to pay the invoice sent to them by management. “I refuse to pay for something that isn’t my responsibility,” Carol said. “If they send me to collections, I’ll take them to court.”

Woman dragged after purse snatched By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The car took off, with the victim hanging on to the passenger door until she fell off. She was treated at the scene for multiple abrasions and taken to Valley Medical
A 40-year-old woman was dragged a short distance in the Walmart parking lot on Rainier Avenue Oct. 14 while trying to retrieve her purse from a fleeing car. The victim was approached by a thin man in his 20s wearing skinny jeans who asked to use her cell phone. She handed him her phone and continued putting away her merchandise into her car. Suddenly, he grabbed her purse from the shopping cart, keeping her phone, and ran to a waiting silver car. The victim ran to the passenger door and shoved her hands into the car.
Center The getaway car, a Mazda MX3 with a spoiler, was caught on video by the video camera mounted on a Renton police cruiser.
The officer was at Walmart investigating a shoplifting. The video caught the fleeing car’s license-plate number and with effort to [ more Blotter page 8 ]

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
Renton, the Central Puget Sound and the State of Washington should be proud of our heritage as a center of aerospace, technology and innovation – and an economy that thrives by importing and exporting products and goods through world-class ports. But our economic standing is at great risk if we allow our backbone network of roads, highways, bridges and public transportation to decay. We must invest in our transportation system, and we must do it now. That is the message legislative leaders from both parties received these past two months as they journeyed around the state to hold 10 “Listening Sessions” and heard concerned citizens, business leaders, local elected officials and transit riders urge that a transportation investment package be passed this year. It is time to recognize that our transportation system is on the brink of crisis – and we need only to look at our own Interstate 405 to realize it. If we don’t add capacity to I-405 and fix the interchange at I-405 and State Route 167, we will continue to have the most congested interchange and freeway corridor in the state. The economic impact of this congestion is staggering – nearly 3 million vehicle hours of delay each year, at a cost of $70.8 million to the local economy, according to data from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). But I-405 is hardly our only problem. We have city streets deteriorating, county roads in urgent need of maintenance, and state highways in desperate need of repair. Bridges all over the state are ranked as “deficient” and in need of replacement. King County METRO, our countywide transit agency, will soon announce a specific set of bus routes to be pared back or eliminated as it prepares for a 17 percent cut in lieu of new funding. Additionally, our ferry system is aging, and critical gaps in sidewalk and bicycle facilities make it difficult for some children to get to school safely. The list goes on and on. Last June, the House passed a 10-year, $9.5 billion transportation package that would have helped us fully fund I-405 improvements between Renton and Bellevue and construct a ”connector” to improve the mess at 405 and 167, along with providing funding for freight mobility, transit, local governments, and safety projects. And leaders of our State Senate have now heard from the public that there is a groundswell of support for enacting a transportation package. For Renton, this transportation package is well worth supporting. Along with monies for I-405 and the I-405/SR-167 interchange, Renton would receive direct funding to help with desperately needed local roads maintenance, and King County METRO would receive funds to avert significant transit service cuts. There would also be additional grant funding and local funding options that we could take to our voters. One option we do not have is to do nothing. If we want our businesses to stay, create and grow jobs, and keep the recent economic recession in the rear view mirror, we have to invest in our transportation system. We need to act now. We respectfully urge our governor and state Legislature to convene a special session this year to pass a transportation investment package that is vital to the future of our region and our state.

Truancy program keeps kids in school, out of court Many people are surprised when I tell them that we have a Truancy Dropout Prevention Unit in the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. “Shouldn’t you be going after the serious criminals, instead of kids who skip school?” they ask. The truth is that when it comes to protecting public safety, there is no better strategy than making sure that every child succeeds in school. Under Washington law, school attendance is mandatory up until age 16. This is part of a package of laws called the “Becca laws” named after a 13-year-old girl who dropped out of school, ran away from home and was murdered by a sex offender in Spokane in the mid-1990s. The Legislature knew, as we know now, that dropping out of school puts young people at an extreme risk of being crime victims and criminal offenders. In fact, young people who drop out of high school are five times more likely to go to prison than their classmates who earn a high school diploma. People who attend some amount of college are five times less likely to go to prison than those with a high school education. Every layer of education is like a protective blanket that protects the potential of that young person and protects our community. Washington’s truancy law says that any child who misses seven days of school in a month, or 10 in a quarter, is officially “truant.” Although school districts are required to file a truancy petition at this point, they are also required to take steps to re-engage students in school.

COMMENTARY
RENTON
OPINION
[6] November 8, 2013
My office works with school districts throughout King County to host workshops designed to understand why the student is missing school. At the end of the workshop, the school, the student, and the parents or guardian sign an agreement designed to reengage the student with an educational track. The law is a court-based scheme, but I am more interested in having the youth attend school than attend court. Only if a student continues to fail to attend school after a workshop agreement is signed, do we take the next step and pursue a petition with the juvenile court. Fewer than 10 percent of the 1,200 petitions filed last school year ended up in court, where students and their parents faced additional court-based consequences. Here in the Renton School District, the district maintains two employees who handle truancy petitions. One who focuses on the legal paperwork aspect and another who focuses on interventions by way of making personal connections with the students struggling with attendance. This model is one of the more efficient and effective ones used in King County. We know that truancy is a red flag that leads to dropping out of school, and increases the chance for risky behaviors, substance abuse, and involvement in the criminal justice system. School districts, teachers, and your prosecuting attorney are working hard to keep students from dropping out of school. It is in the best interest of the child and the community.

Renton Technical honors students and staff who served skehoe@rentonreporter.com
Renton Technical College (RTC) celebrated Veterans Day early by holding a ceremony Nov. 7 on campus to honor student and staff veterans. The event featured the color guard from the Frank R. Vaise VFW Post 1263, in Renton, and chapter member, Darrell Pilat, as a speaker. The two speakers planned to talk about what resources and support are available after returning from war. RTC President, Steve Hanson was to provide opening remarks and a Veterans Day Writing Contest student essay was read. “We want to continue to create a community at RTC that celebrates the achievements and recognizes the sacrifices of our veterans, while integrating them into the general civilian population,” said Craig Brewer, Access Support specialist at RTC. “One of the greatest challenges for veterans is to
reintegrate into civilian life.” The event was put on by RTC’s Student Veteran Organization (SVO). “My colleague, Craig Brewer and I have made significant strides in improving Veteran Services here at Renton Technical College since I began working here this past January, and now with the establishment of this SVO, it can be the students of RTC who have a say in dictating the direction of how their Veteran Services go,” said Glen Boje, veteran navigator at RTC. “The SVO is still in its infancy as it was just recently approved by the RTC Student Government on Oct. 8, 2013, but they have a lot of ambition and big plans for the future.”

The RTC Band Instrument Repair Technology Program, led by Army Veteran Christopher Hite, was to perform the Star Spangled Banner and each of the service branch songs as part of the ceremony. The band program is only one of only three such programs in North America, according to an RTC spokesperson. “We wanted to honor the veterans on a day that is designed to take note of their service and sacrifice, but all too frequently gets lost as a day-off,” Brewer said. This was the second activity of the week for SVO members. On Wednesday, the organization hosted a free luncheon for all student, faculty, and staff veterans. This [ more RTC page 8 ]

The SVO has weekly meetings for student veterans on Mondays. Future events are discussed and planned in these meetings.

He then armed himself with a handgun. He opened the door the second time and told the husband he needed to come back. Instead, he told officers, the husband pulled the handgun from its holster and racked the slide, a round falling to the front porch. “That is how you know the gun is loaded,” the husband told him.

A Salute to our Veterans
Three veterans who sacrificed for freedom “Surviving Peal Harbor is what I am most proud of,” Brown said. “I knew I wanted to sign up for the Navy when I graduated high school. I did it and never regretted that decision one day of my life.” Traci Williams - Newest Veteran
Robert Brown - Pearl Harbor Survivor Former Navy gunsman Robert Brown, 91, was on the battleship Maryland retrieving gunpowder below deck on Dec. 7, 1941, when bombs exploded around him. But Brown and his crew were the lucky few whose ship did not go down during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. “I remember that awful feeling of just not knowing what was going on,” Brown said. “We knew it was enemy fire, but we didn’t know how to respond or how the other ships were doing.” The ship next to the Maryland turned upside down, preventing rescuers from getting to the Maryland and trapping Brown and his crew inside their vessel. They were stuck for one month. “There was nothing to do but wait,” he said. “We were all going a little crazy.” When the crew was rescued, they were taken to Bremerton, Wash., to wait while their ship was repaired. “From Bremerton we operated up and down the Coast, in and out of SanFrancisco and finally Long Beach before we were sent back to Pearl Harbor,” Brown recalled. “It had been cleaned up quite a bit in the last several months and all the battleships were floating again.” Brown said he didn’t spend much time in the heat of battles and never shot a gun at anyone. “Mission operations for ammunition ships are different from all other vessels,” he said. “It’s much more relaxed in discipline, living conditions, bunking, eating, working and combat expectations.” Brown tried many new things during his time in the war. “I landed a boat, operated cargo booms and sat in the co-pilot seat of a B-24 bomber carrying passengers back to the states,” he said. Despite the good experiences, Brown acknowledges the hardships many went through 903714 during the war.
“It was a war that from 1937 to 1945 killed 18,000,000 people,” he said. “Most of those 18,000,000 dead were civilians killed in bombing or shelling attacks or military brutality of some kind.” After the Japanese surrendered in 1945, Brown married his longtime love, enlisted in the Navy Reserve and moved to Bremerton to work as a civilian in a shipyard. Brown was a member of the Pearl Harbor Survivor’s Association before it Robert Brown shut down in 2007 due to members being unable to serve as administrators for various health and age reasons. He loves to talk about his time in the Navy and proudly wears a hat reading, “Pearl Harbor Survivor” on his head almost daily.

Thousands of Afghans no longer had homes and were living in old abandon buildings shot up by enemy fire. “There was no heat, no windows, no food for them,” Williams said. “They depended on us to bring them food, water, blankets.” In Iraq, Williams looked after the linguists to ensure they were taken care of. “I traveled around making sure they got paid on time, were housed appropriately and other things,” Williams said.

Master Sgt. Traci Williams, 50, wears many hats in the Army. She has been assistant chaplain, distributed food to war victims and ensured deployed linguists were receiving proper treatment and pay. “I’ve really enjoyed my time in the Army,” Williams said. “I get to travel all over and do important work, but most importantly, I get to see how amazing our country and our people are.” Williams joined the Army in 1990 and served in Germany in 1990, Haiti in 1995, Afghanistan in 2006 and Iraq in 2008. Her first two deployments were focused on protecting the chaplain and defending the rights of religious soldiers. “We wanted to ensure our service members had what they needed to practice their religion,” Williams said. “Religious freedom while deployed is very important.” In Afghanistan, Williams was in charge of community outreach, ensuring all donations sent from the United States reached their proper destinations. She also took items to Afghan war victims. “My mission was really to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people and it was

memories of her deployment. “Our mission each time was so positive and I knew we were doing good,” she said. “Our country doesn’t believe in just destroying and leaving; we help the people and care for them.” Besides caring for others, Williams was the only woman in her group and the first female to be featured on a Seahawks football card by Topps in 2008 as the Armed Forces Fans of the Game. “It was so exciting and so much fun to be a part of that,” she said. “I’m such a huge Seahawks fan, so I jumped at the chance to be a part of it.” Williams is still on active duty. She plans to retire this February, while still making herself available for any need that arises.
Darrell Pilat - Veteran advocate Vietnam veteran Darrell Pilat wants to help new veterans understand their rights and get the support they need. “I want the young veterans to know they’re special,” Pilat said. “I also want them to know there are people here for them that truly understand what they’ve been through and have the resources to help them adjust back to normal civilian life.” Pilat, 64, served with the 1st Infantry DARRELL PILAT Division and 196th Light Infantry Brigade of the “Americal Division” in 1969 – 1970. He describes his time of service as tough.
“There were hard times and there were things I wish I hadn’t seen,” he said. “But I met some great men and I feel very fortunate to get out of there alive and unharmed.” After separating from the military, Pilat worked in the airline industry for more than 25 years with Trans World Airlines, Western Airlines, and Delta Air Lines.

Zombies rule as ‘Uh-Oh’ wins People’s Choice Curvee
Ask An Expert....
By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
It looks like zombies rule in this year’s Renton FilmFrenzy VI People’s Choice Award voting. This year’s Renton Reporter People’s Choice Curvee Award goes to “Uh-Oh,” made by producer Kaitlyn N. Larson and the Film Vandals film about two friends preparing themselves for a zombie invasion on the eve of November. A record-setting 25 filmmaking teams from cities throughout the region entered this year’s sixth annual 50hour FilmFrenzy and 23 teams completed films and turned them in by the deadline. The filming took place in Renton from 5 p.m. Oct. 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 6. The People’s Choice Curvee will be presented to the winners later this month at a Renton City Council meeting. Voting is now closed, but if you would like to see any or all of this year’s FilmFrenzy entrants, visit http://pnwlocalnews.upickem.net/engine/Welcome.aspx.

What is Joint Tenancy? Joint tenancy is a form of ownership in which two or more persons own an asset jointly. Upon the death of one, the ownership of the asset is presumed to pass to the surviving joint owner(s) without probate. Sometimes joint tenancy is useful. But it may be inconsistent with the provisions of the Will and create uncertainty or conflict after death. In other cases, joint tenancy can disrupt a plan to minimize estate taxes. Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner. Consult an estate planning attorney.

Safety: A crate should be used for your dog’s safety when traveling. Crates are available from most pet supply stores. Be sure to provide plenty of water and a favorite toy to make your dog as comfortable as possible. Also be sure the crate…. • is large enough to allow the dog to stand, turn and lie down • is strong, with handles or grips, and free of interior protrusions • has a leak-proof bottom covered with plenty of absorbent material • has ventilation on opposing sides, with exterior rims or knobs to prevent blocked airflow • has a “Live Animal” label, arrows upright, with owners name, address, and phone number. Helpful Tips: • Make sure your dog has a sturdy leash and collar. The collar should have identification tags, a license and proof of rabies vaccinations. Your home phone number should be on the tags as well. • You may want to consider a permanent form of ID (such as a microchip or tattoo) that can increase the likelihood of reuniting you with your dog if it gets lost far from home. • Carry recent pictures of your dog with you. If you are accidentally separated, these pictures will help local authorities find your dog. • Take the phone number of your veterinarian and any special medication your dog needs. Some dogs can’t adjust to abrupt changes in diet, so pack your dog’s regular food, bowls and a cooler of water. • If you think you might need to board your dog at some point during your travels, be sure to bring your dog’s complete vaccination records.

Lindbergh claims Seamount with win over Kennedy Wiitenan’s four touchdowns power Eagles to championship By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Led by a four-touchdown effort from running back Daniel Wiitenan, the Lindbergh Eagles beat Kennedy Catholic 38-14 Oct. 31 at Renton Memorial Stadium to win the Seamount League championship. The win also completed an undefeated season for the Eagles, who finished the year 8-0. Wiitenan got the scoring started early, with two touchdowns in the first quarter. His first came on a 3-yard run halfway through the quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, Lindbergh’s defense held its ground, forcing an intentional grounding
call that led to a punt. With the ball back in the hands of their offense, the Eagles marched all the way down the field, scoring on a 16-yard run from Wiitenan and ended the first quarter up 13-0. In the second, the Eagles defense picked off the Kennedy quarterback, setting up a first-and-10 from the Kennedy 23. The Eagles moved the ball all the way to the 1-yardline where on third-and-goal the Lancer defense stopped Wiitenan from getting his third touchdown of the half. But the Eagles went for it on fourth down and quarterback Tyrell Shavers called his own number on a quarterback keeper to the right side, scoring easily to make it 19-0. Kennedy battled back, however, moving the ball down the field and getting on the board with a 33-yard pass-and-run from Damien Maricich to Nate Randall. On their next possession, Ken-

Hazen soccer is hoping the rest of the postseason goes a little better than their opening game Tuesday night as the high-powered Auburn Mountainview Lions beat the Highlanders 2-0 at Renton Memorial Stadium to claim the bi-district No. 1 seed. As Seamount League champs, Hazen will still advance to the bi-district tournament but at a lower seed and

was scheduled to play Columbia River Thursday in Vancouver. “All year we pushed hard on the girls about being the first seed from Seamount. I don’t care what the format for the playoffs is – we just want to always be the first seed,” said Hazen Coach Ken Matthews. “Kennedy (the Seamount No. 2 seed) lost tonight and their season is over. We lost and we’re playing to get into state Thursday; thank you first seed.” [ more soccer page 16 ]
The Hazen Highlander volleyball team is moving on to the district tournament, following a 3-0 win over Peninsula in last weekend’s sub-districts. According to coach Zach Orcutt, it is the first time the Highlanders have earned a trip to the district tournament in at least 10 years. “We are very proud of the way this group has come together and are excited about our chances at making a run this weekend at districts,” Orcutt said in an email. The Highlanders beat the Peninsula Seahawks 25-20 in the first game, 25-23 in the second and finished them off 25-21 in the third. Marcela Macias had 23 digs, five kills and three aces for Hazen. Kelsey Allen added 14 kills, two aces and two blocks, while Shelby Sturman had nine kills and two aces. [ more volleyball page 15 ]

The Lindbergh boys tennis team won its third consecutive district championship last weekend. The team was led by a pair of championships, including Alan Kwiatkowski who won the district boys singles championship, beating Sumner’s Zaylon Jacobson in the finals 6-0, 6-2. And for the third year in a row, senior Sam Bayna is the district doubles champion. Bayna’s three titles have come with three different partners. This year, he teamed up with his brother, sophomore Jeremiah Bayna. And for the third straight year, Sam Bayna’s doubles title came with a win over a team from Washington High School. This year, the Bayna brothers beat Josh Rasmus and Jonathan Yu 7-5, 5-7, 10-7 in a third set tiebreaker. Lindbergh Senior Peter Vu also returns to state in doubles play for the second consecutive year, this year with partner Justin Danao, a junior. They qualified with a 6-2, 6-1 win over the No. 1 team from Olympic High School. They will finish by playing today for the fourth or sixth seed to state. Lindbergh finished the year 9-3, second in the league behind Kennedy.

In Tuesday’s game the Lions were more aggressive and physical. Hazen played down a man for most of the second half, but stayed even with Auburn Mountainview, who came into the game as South Puget Sound League camps, sporting a 14-2-1 record. “I was pretty proud of the way the girls picked it up after the card. We were in a hole already at that point but there were positives for us tonight,” Matthews said. Matthews said Thursday would be a challenge. Columbia River is ranked No. 1 in the state and are the defending state champs that knocked Hazen out of the playoffs last year. On top of that was the four-hour bus ride and a 7:30 p.m. start time. “We’ll make it the Hazen Soccer Party bus going
down. I don’t know exactly what that means, but we have some soccer parents who will get it together,” said Matthews. “Seriously, when we lost to them last year, I didn’t think we were all that far off from them. In fact I was surprised we didn’t do better.” While the Highlanders got the shot Thursday, regardless of the result they’ll be playing Saturday for a state berth. “We win Thursday and were in The Dance. If not, we play Saturday with another ticket for The Dance; thank you first seed,” Matthews ended. Hazen won the Seamount League and No. 1 seed with an 8-0 victory Tuesday against Tyee during which eight different Highlander players scored goals. Brianne Sherin, Brook

In 2009 Hazen got its first playoff berth and winning record since the 1993 season. In 2010 another playoff ticket and winning record including a big draw against Kennedy. Three seasons ago, Hazen went undefeated in league, drew Kennedy three times and beat the league champions. They got edged out on points on the championship but had a winning record and advanced to the playoffs. Last year a winning record, a league co-championship and the playoffs.

The people we all count on . . . count on a reliable power grid “In the event of a large-scale emergency or regional disaster, it is crucial that we have the ability to respond to a high volume of critically ill or injured patients. We must have power available to meet the immediate demands of our emergency, surgical, intensive care, and communication and records systems in order to provide quality medical care to the people of this community.” Dr. Tom Miller Emergency Physician and Chief of Staff Overlake Hospital Medical Center
DEMAND FOR POWER WILL EXCEED CAPACITY BY 2017 The Eastside is growing faster than any other region in Washington State. But there is a hidden consequence to this growth: Projections show that demand for reliable electricity will exceed system capacity as early as 2017. Without substantial infrastructure upgrades, our electric transmission lines will be unable to provide dependable power.
CONSERVATION ALONE ISN’T ENOUGH Over the past few decades, PSE has taken significant steps to squeeze every watt out of our electric system through our nationally recognized conservation programs. However, even doubling the Eastside conservation will not create the capacity we need to match economic growth. Conservation will always be a critical part of our energy future, but only a part.
UPGRADES TO KEEP PACE WITH EASTSIDE GROWTH At PSE, we are confident that with the right upgrades, our power grid can keep pace with the Eastside’s dramatic growth. Over the next several months, we will partner with local communities and talk with our customers to identify solutions that best serve the Eastside.
