Group advises 3+/2+ hybrid option for future I-405 HOT lanes By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Weir science
Workers from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife work Wednesday to remove the weir placed in the Cedar River behind the Renton Community Center. A weir is a fish trap designed to catch some of the salmon swimming upstream to spawn. Those caught in the trap, which is placed every September and removed in November when the salmon run ends, are taken to a hatchery in Landsburg, 21 miles up river. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter
After their final meeting on the matter, the Interstate 405 Executive Advisory Group is recommending an option that would keep I405’s planned HOT lanes open for two-person carpools during off-peak hours, but would switch to three-plus during busy times. The group’s recommendations will help determine the future of the 40-mile long express toll lane system, encompassing I-405 express toll lanes and state Route 167 HOT lanes. An HOT lane is a multiple-occupancy lane that is open to single-car drivers for a price, like the lanes on SR167. The Washington State Department of Transportation has plans to install at least one of the lanes on I-405, but the state law states that HOT lanes must be designed to maintain a minimum speed of 45 mph 90 percent of the time and that tolls must pay for their operation. Because of that, discussions over how to deal with the lanes have gotten complicated, with several advisory members, including Renton representative and City Council President [ more tolling page 11 ]

Two Renton organizations aimed at helping the community and residents are joining together to host an event Saturday. Piazza Renton and Birthday Dreams are hosting a fundraising auction and buffet dinner by Rain City Catering called Piazza Dreams 2013. The hope is to raise awareness of the two organizations. “Both of our organizations are important because we are here to serve the community,” said Brian Larson, president of Piazza Renton. “We hope to teach attendees what we are all about and alert them to volunteer opportunities.” Piazza Renton was formed by city officials in the early 1990s to create a positive community feeling in Renton through projects and events. Birthday Dreams was formed five years ago to bring joy to homeless children by throwing them birthday parties. Birthday Dreams can provide two types of par-
and napkins, balloons and games. Each birthday box costs an average of $80 to assemble. “The reaction we get from the kids is amazing,” Coumont said. “It gives them a confidence as they realize it’s okay to be the center of attention, to let go and have fun.” The auction features packages such as a datenight kit and trips. The event is from 6 p.m.
to 9:30 p.m. at Renton Pavilion Event Center, 233 Burnett Ave. S. Doors open for cocktails at 5:30 p.m. “If you can’t make it, but want to donate or volunteer, there is always an opportunity to do that,” Coumont said. “Anything counts, we can do a lot with little bit.” Birthday Dreams is in need of delivery drivers, cake bakers, board and committee members, a volunteer coordinator and
marketing employees. You can help by donating items for an on-site part, becoming a part coordinator, organizing a party supply drive at your place of business or church or giving cash donations. For more information, visit www.birthdaydreams. org. To donate or volunteer for Piazza Renton, visit piazzarenton.com.
Teachers of the Month for November By Sarah Kehoe SKehoe@RentonReporter.com
Renton Rotary Club has selected its Teachers of the Month for November as part of their commitment to education and to celebrate teachers in the Renton School District. As part of the recognition, teachers attend Rotary’s Teacher of the Month recognition luncheon held at the Maplewood Golf Course. Each teacher is introduced, makes a brief comment about their school and classroom and receives $200 to use for classroom supplies or instructional materials.

ties: on-site, or what they call Birthday-in-a-Box. After a parent, or significant adult fills out a questionnaire, the party is designed with the child in mind. The events are centered around a theme. Kids get their favorite flavor of birthday cake and ice cream, decorations, party supplies and games and party favors for the kids in attendance. “Most of these kids are burdened by always having to wonder where they are going to eat or sleep and, therefore, are older than their age as they take on these adult responsibilities,” said Laura Coumont, marketing director for Birthday Dreams. “Throwing them a party allows them to relax, play and just be a kid.” When on-site birthday parties are not possible, Birthday Dreams provides a Birthday-in-a-Box. Again, centered around the child’s interest, it contains everything the parent or guardian needs to throw the celebration, including cake-and-ice cream, gifts, candles, party hats, plates

Avery, Asher concede in council races as numbers come in By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
After a week of counting votes, the results have not changed much and both Stuart Avery and Beth Asher last week conceded in their races for City Council. As of Tuesday, the results from King County Elections had Armondo Pavone collecting 8,004 votes to Avery’s 5,010, or 61.38 percent to 38.42 percent. There were also 27 write-in votes. In the other contested City Council race, incumbent Terri Briere got 7,293 votes to
Asher’s 5,412, or 57.29 percent to 42.51 percent. There were also 25 write-in votes in this race. Avery on Nov. 7 sent an email to the Renton Reporter conceding the race. “I congratulate Mr. Pavone for his win, and wish him success in his efforts to represent Renton’s citizens,” Avery said. “I will continue my various volunteer roles, and my advocacy for community needs. “I am grateful for the overwhelming support and encouragement received from many Renton residents and business owners, and thankful for the relationships which

have developed over the past months while campaigning. I do not consider this a lose, as I have gained much from the experience,” he continued, specifically thanking his wife and family for their support. On Nov. 8, Asher also sent a concession email to the Reporter, thanking everyone who voted and promising to work to move the community forward. “The City Council campaign has been an interesting experience and no one could undertake something like this without a lot of support. For all those who gave generously of their time to help me I would like to say thank you – I couldn’t have come this far without you,” she said, specifically thanking her husband and family for their support while she was away campaigning. “And for all those who contributed in

other ways to my campaign – you have my profound respect and thanks for your willingness to engage and be involved in our local government,” she continued. “Yes - I’ll keep right on working for Renton, and regionally, in my volunteer roles and with my advocacy for our community.” To read the full emails from Avery or Asher, visit www.rentonreporter.com. In the two other city races, Council President Randy Corman ran unopposed and collected 10,756 votes, or 98.95 percent. Municipal Court Judge Terry L. Jurado also ran unopposed and received 10,213 votes, or 99.03 percent. A total of 17,665 votes were received from Renton during this election cycle. There are 47,858 registered voters in the city making the turnout in this election 32.75 percent.

Thank you for returning me to the Renton City Council.
Holding public office is a privilege and can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life. As part of the council, I believe we need to continue working on communication, consensus building and working together to implement policies and programs that benefit all citizens. I will work with a focus on improving quality of life, including opportunities for our citizens of diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds, and all ages and abilities, enhancing Renton’s neighborhoods, and bringing new business to the community. Renton offers a unique quality of life and a strong sense of community and I will work to be an effective representative for citizens. Thank you for your support.

When our daughter was born five years ago, we worried about finding a safe and affordable childcare provider. My worries were soon put to rest when a coworker recommended Family Circle Learning Center. I wanted my daughter to be some place close so that I could get to her quickly in case of an emergency. We were also looking for a childcare that had a sense of family and community; luckily we found this in Family Circle Learning Center. When I saw that other parents that I knew and respected also had their child enrolled in Family Circle I was sold! My husband and I leave our daughter at FCLC everyday knowing that she is safe and well cared for. The front office is located in the main entrance so staff immediately sees who is coming in and who is going out. They also seem to always find the time to give a morning greeting as parents are quickly dropping off their children. In addition, they are always available to resolve any problem or parent concern. Because FCLC has a low rate of turnover, my daughter always knows the adult that is taking care of her. She has seen the same familiar faces since she was an infant. The kids rarely have to get to know someone new. Our daughter will be heading off to kindergarten next year and every day we see Family Circle getting her prepared for this big transition. We are so lucky to have found a place that helped her to become the happy five year old that she is today! Thank you Family Circle!!

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
“I like going to school because it’s really fun. I like my teacher and my friends.” Kaden Gamble, 4, who attends the Northwest School for Hearing-Impaired Children
$22 million is not enough to make us worry about our food Initiative 522 is failing to pass for more reasons than just the $22 million opponents shelled out to defeat it. All those bucks certainly made a difference; it was the most money ever spent against an initiative in state history, so far. Had those pushing the food labeling initiative done a better job seeding their message throughout the state and tilling the fields of voters, they could have harvested victory. Rather, their pitch for requiring labels on foods with genetically-modified ingredients lacked urgency and their campaign inspired little excitement outside Seattle and urban pockets in Western Washington. At times, it seemed those running the Yes on 522 campaign had not learned many lessons from the defeat of a nearly identical food labeling initiative in California in 2012. As a result the ballot measure, which 66 percent of potential voters endorsed in a September Elway Poll, is on track to finish with only 49 percent voting for it. It is a startling but not shocking collapse of support, said political consultants, pollsters — and a noted chronicler of food labeling battles watching from the sidelines. “Initiative campaigns are successful when they offer a solution to something the public perceives as a significant problem,” said consultant Sandeep Kaushik, who had a busy fall helping state Sen. Ed Murray’s campaign for Seattle mayor. “I’m not sure this initiative passed that test.” While the public does see value in labels on food, they were not overwhelmingly worried about the presence of GMOs in what they eat, said Seattle pollster Stuart Elway. That made them persuadable. Advisers to the No on 522 campaign knew this too. They took a tack saying that, while there is nothing wrong with labeling food, Initiative 522 wasn’t the right way of doing it. They cited their reasons – higher costs, new regulations, confusing exemptions – and used gobs of money to make sure everyone in front of a television set in October got a taste. For good measure, they repeated it in a string of mailers sent to the homes of those who always vote. Of course this is pretty much how it played out in California. This is why those pols not involved in the campaign wonder why initiative supporters weren’t better prepared for the tactics they encountered. [ more cornfield page 7] Jerry Cornfield

Renton
Letters to the editor We’ve had good service from Spencer Court staff Regarding the story on the Spencer Court bedbug fight (Renton Reporter, Nov. 8), we (the tenants) feel it necessary to clear up a few things. It was stressed more than once in the meeting that our complaints regarding neglecting the building, being disrespectful to some tenants, not fixing things in a timely manner are directed at a couple of people at a corporate level of SHAG and outside contractors, such as GENESIS, who do a large amount of maintenance work for SHAG. The lack and delay in the use of a vacuum was due to having a bagless vacuum, which cannot be used during bedbug infestations. SHAG has recently purchased the proper vacuum. Our assistant manger, in-house maintenance and in-house cleaning staff have ALWAYS gone above and beyond to meet our needs when able! We, the tenants, feel lucky to have them at Spencer Court and are sorry for any problems and/or hurt feelings the article may have caused them.
Rebecca Greenleaf and Carol Sanders, Spencer Court residents
Stuart Avery, Beth Asher didn’t fling any mud The letter posted in the Nov. 1 Renton Reporter from Brent Beden in support of Terri Briere reeks of “dirty politics.” Mr. Beden draws a broad conclusion about Beth’s ability to represent “ALL” citizens of Renton, because of one word chosen by her at a meeting in 2012. Certainly if we were to dismiss everyone for the same reason, there would be no one in office. It would not be surprising to look through statements and documented actions by other council members in the recent past, and find those they may wish they had not done or said,
or that were not representative of the majority of Renton residents. I could give clear examples, but there are some individuals who don’t need to malign other candidates to gain the favor of the voters. There are some on the council who have voted against the wishes of a large number of Renton’s voices. They are guilty of what Mr. Beden is accusing Beth of, with flimsy evidence I might add, and that is of not representing the entire community. It was not the policy of the campaigns of both Stuart Avery and Beth Asher to sling mud. They did not need to resort to such dirty political tactics or low blows to make themselves look good. This in itself is a testament to their straightforward, sincere and honest motives. That kind of comment written by Mr. Beden is best put in the garbage where it belongs.
Nicola Robinson Renton
Thanks to Avery, Asher for their leadership I want to thank Beth Asher and Stuart Avery for their leadership these past two years. They rallied the community to save our precious Cedar River library location and gave further by running for City Council. Our recent voters’ ballots had a number of races where there was no opponent. Had Asher and Avery not run for City Council, there would have been even more without opposition. This is not healthy for democracy, nor does it help to sharpen the skills and ideas of the ballot winner. Asher and Avery modeled how to get involved, making our community a better place to live. May more of us follow their example of service!

“Indeed, the rural counties of Washington voted just like the rural counties of California did a year ago when they proved key to toppling Proposition 37,” Flynn wrote Sunday online. “When the medicine show behind the Prop. 37 campaign announced it was moving on to Washington state, I remember thinking, “Gee, a state with a larger rural vote than California.” As of Wednesday morning, I-522 was getting rejected by 82 percent in Garfield County, 79 percent in Adams County, 75 percent in Grant and Franklin counties, 73 percent in Walla Walla County and 72 percent in Yakima County. Those are impressive numbers, and are as much a reason for why voters put the kibosh on food labeling as the $22 million of opposition spending.
The Yes on 522 campaign lacked a convincing rebuttal on the need for labeling and how it wouldn’t bring a trove of troubles. Supporters had money. They spent $8 million – an impressive sum and only slightly less than their friends expended in California – yet could not get their response out often enough on television and almost not at all in the mailboxes. Nor could they turn out their voters. Their plan called for winning at least 60 percent of the votes in King County, to pick up Snohomish County and to do respectably in the rural areas. They are almost there in the state’s largest county. They barely got there in Snohomish County – 51.4 percent. But they are getting wiped out in the smaller counties of Eastern Washington. Dan Flynn, a Denver-based writer with Food Safety News, believes rural voters are the reason I-522 went down.
A steady stream of Boeing Machinists voted Wednesday at their union Machinists hall on Burnett Avenue in Renton on a new contract between their and Boeing that the company says is necessary if it’s to build the vote on historic union next 777 in the Puget Sound region. About 31,000 Machinists voted on contract the contract in the Puget Sound region. The results weren’t available
Wednesday before the Renton Reporter print deadline, but the latest information is available online at rentonreporter.com or at the Machinist website, www.iam751.org. Local, state and federal elected leaders have urged the Machinists to approve the contract as a way to preserve and grow thousands of jobs in Washington state and keep the Puget Sound region a center of airplane production in the world.

Appelman and Judy Callahan, teachers of the deaf who met while working in the public school system. The program focuses on spoken communication paired with simultaneous Signing Exact English (S.E.E.), in which the speaker signs every important part of each word (known as the morphemes), using grammatically correct English. To encourage students to speak in complete sentences, all communication from teachers to children at NWSFHIC is spoken and signed concurrently. “We have high expectations for our kids because we know they are smart and capable and we want them to be successful,” said Barbara Luetke, the school’s outreach and literacy coordinator. NWSFHIC is the only preschool through eighth grade school for deaf and hard-of-hearing children in Washington. The staff works with parents and school district teams
to create Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs) and monitors each student to determine when they no longer require the school’s intensive specially designed instruction and are prepared to return to their home-school, generaleducation program. “I think this school is great because it allows kids experiencing the same things to relate to each other,” said Luetke. “I am the mother of deaf children and they were the only ones of their kind in a public school and I think it would have made a huge positive difference if they’d gone to a place like this.” The school contracts with 22 school districts throughout the Puget Sound – from Hood Canal to the Cascades; from Auburn/Kent Valley to Skagit Valley – to provide free education and transportation to qualifying students. Seven students attending are from Renton. Gamble’s bus ride from his home in Renton to the school in Shoreline takes an hour and a half. Tapscott said it’s

worth it. “The changes I am seeing in him after only one year there are huge,” she said. “Not only can he understand what you say and is learning how to use his voice, he is handling his feelings and expressing himself well. He has friends and comes home every day excited to show me something he made or accomplished at school.” Kevin Gamble, 4, of Renton Third-grader Chelsea travels to Shoreline each day for Beck discovered a love for school. SARAH KEHOE, Renton Reporter art at the school. “My teacher showed me how to make stuff and it’s my favorite thing to do now,” she said, smiling. “Also my teacher gives me M&M’s sometimes, which is really nice.” NWSFHIC hosts events, such as bowling and craft nights, in an attempt to get parents involved in their child’s education. They have parent clubs, which acknowledge the diverse student body. Luetke says a tour of the school is the first step in determining if NWSFHIC is appropriate for a child.

Five arrested after short chase in Highlands The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Five individuals were apprehended Nov. 7 in the Highlands after a short chase and manhunt near Hazen High School and Kiwanis Park. Four suspects were apprehended at about 3:15 p.m. on Redmond Avenue Northeast, then shortly after the fifth suspect was found by a K9 unit on Northeast Eighth Court. The incident started when a man spotted his friend’s stolen vehicle at a gas station at Sunset Boulevard and Duvall Avenue Northeast and called 911, according to Terri Vickers, a spokeswoman for the Renton Police Department. The stolen car left the gas station and responding officers pursued it for about one minute on Duvall to Northeast 10th Street, before terminating the pursuit because of weather and traffic, according to Vickers. The vehicle crashed into a fence on Northeast Ninth Court at 3:07 p.m. A police perimeter was set up in the area, creating a large police presence and the investigation was continued into the afternoon.
Woman fends off robber A 24-year-old Renton woman who fears people in general was robbed during the early morning hours of Oct. 30 while walking to a gas station on Rainier Avenue South. A man started following her as she walked west on Southwest Sunset Boulevard, so she started to walk faster. She told him to, in essence, leave her alone, and
started walking toward her home. A second man got out of an SUV, possibly a Lincoln Navigator, and walked toward her. With her attention diverted, the first man pulled her backward to the sidewalk, where she hit her head hard. He then patted her down, as if looking for something to steal. She then pulled a knife from her coat pocket in an effort to scare off the assaulter. But the man swatted at her hand and the knife cut her thigh. She punched the man with her left fist, hitting somewhere hard. The man then walked to the SUV and left. She was treated at the scene, then taken to a hospital by a friend.
Patron gets phone back A patron at the downtown library on Oct. 24 managed to grab onto a Renton man at the front door who had just stolen her cell phone. Other patrons had rushed to help the Renton woman, but as a library worker dialed 911, the suspect, an 18-year-old Renton man, escaped from the melee and fled toward the parking lot on Mill Avenue. He was apprehended just minutes later on South Third Street. He had dropped the cell phone during the scuffle inside the library. The victim was working on a library computer when the suspect, wearing a hoodie, grabbed her phone. When she realized he didn’t do so by mistake, she yelled, “Hey! Stop! My phone!” and ran after him. The suspect was arrested for investiga-
tion for third-degree theft and was booked into the SCORE regional jail. In lieu of answering questions, he asked for a lawyer.
Ex-girlfriend, TV gone A 47-year-old Renton man returned home Oct. 24 to find his ex-girlfriend and his 47-inch, big-screen TV gone. The ex-girlfriend, who lives in Marysville, had spent the night and was still there when he left for work. He thinks the ex-girlfriend wanted to pawn the TV for money to buy drugs. He called her, but her phone was turned off.
Car theft thwarted An employee of a downtown hair salon scared off a young man Oct. 24 who was trying to break into her car on Wells Avenue South. The employee watched as the young man tried to pry open her car’s driver-side door. She went out to confront the man but he got into a green Lexus and sped way. He also punched the driver-side key hole.
5,000 songs taken An iPod containing about 5,000 songs was stolen Oct. 25 from a 2008 Lexus parked in the Highlands. The loss was estimated at about $250. The car was ransacked. The victim wrote in her report that she’s “extremely distressed” by the theft and she is afraid the neighborhood is no longer safe. She asked for extra patrols around Ilwaco Place Northeast.
Talker loses cell phone A 43-year-old Renton man was talking on his cell phone Oct. 25 when he walked up to the checkstand at Walmart. He was
having trouble communicating with the clerk, so he ended the call and put the phone on the stand. He paid and left, his cell phone still on the stand. He realized he had left his phone, but it was gone from the stand when he returned. Store security was checking surveillance cameras. The phone was turned off when he tried to call it.
Woman spits on officer A woman who was assaultive and possibly high on a stimulant, likely methamphetamine, spit near the mouth of a Valley Medical Center security officer Oct. 25 who was trying to get her to leave the emergency room. The woman was partially restrained and was trying to tear off her clothing with a free arm. She made threats and yelled obscenities at ER staff and security. She had been involuntarily committed after threatening adults and children in Kent and spitting on them. She was booked into SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree assault.
Can’t stay away from SoBe A 29-year-old Renton man already barred from the Highlands Safeway store was arrested Oct. 25 when he stole a SoBe drink from the store. He was spotted walking along Northeast Fourth Street by an officer, who did a Uturn to stop the man. He called the officer a racially derogatory name. The officer called for backup because of previous contacts with the suspect, who has shown verbal aggression toward officers. He was arrested for investigation of firstdegree criminal trespass and taken to the SCORE regional jail.

Randy Corman, worried that the public will simply not accept a plan that changes the rules for HOT lanes to three-plus from the current two-plus option. But WSDOT officials have concluded that a two-plus option is not viable because too many people would use the lane, making the speed requirement nearly impossible to meet, as well as not generate enough revenue. According to Renton Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman, the Nov. 7 meeting was “amiable,” and despite reaching a consensus, Zimmerman said all involved had an understanding that “not everyone is going to agree on every detail.” In a presentation before the City Council on Nov. 4, Zimmerman detailed some of the city’s concerns, including that Renton city streets get a lot of use from people looking to avoid traffic on the highway, or that the I-405/state Route 167 connector
project be funded at the front end of the phase two project to ensure traffic can continue to flow when the new lanes are added to the existing highway. During the meeting, Corman also said he was concerned that a mandatory transponder would be necessary to use the HOT lanes, stopping the possibility of a spontaneous carpool from using the lanes. Combined with what he sees as a potential loss to the public who are used to carpool lanes being two-plus, he said he had some concerns. “It seemed like with a lot of the proposals, the incentive for carpool fades away,” he said. In the end, Zimmerman said the advisory group went for a hybrid option, making the lanes three-plus during peak usage hours, but keeping them two-plus at other times. Zimmerman also said funding recommendations were discussed. As of now, the
state legislature has not passed a transportation funding package for this project and others. Zimmerman said there were three options for funding being discussed. At the top level was a $1.1 billion package that would fully fund the entire 40-mile system without tools being needed to supplement the funding. In that case, tolls that are collected could be put to future improvements. The next level of funding is a more traditional $960 million package that would require $215 million in tolling to complete the project. Finally, the group discussed a $675 million option that would need $500 million to be collected from tolls. Zimmerman said there was little support
ing
t Star
for the bottom option. “It seemed to be pretty much between the high and the middle funding options,” he said of the discussions, adding that no consensus was reached on funding options. The next step in the process is for the Washington State Transportation Commission to begin the rate-setting process, including tolls and exemptions, a meeting that will take place Nov. 20 in Kirkland. After that, WSDOT will deliver a final report on funding and phasing to the legislature and governor by the end of the year. The new lanes are expected to be opened by 2015.

Only one name is necessary for this colorful Renton artist
Jaris English
The creative side
Like Cher and Madonna, Renton’s Majenta is colorful enough to go by one name. “I got the name of Majenta back when I was a kid and would go to the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Roxy here in Renton,” she said. A fifth-generation Renton resident, Majenta, like her mother and grandmother, graduated from Renton High School. She is recognized as one of the top woman artists working today. She has a dynamically creative style. Her canvass is the human body, and her studio is the bright pink Diamond Tattoo and Body Piercing salon in downtown Renton. Voted Best of Renton for 2013, the business is filled with displays of creative works for sale by several other local artisans. It’s a fascinating place to visit, to shop and peruse the eye candy – like posters of over-the-top characters like Divine, Elvira, Betty Page, and Dr. Frank-N-Furter. She also has an impressive collection of Marilyn Monroe artifacts. I went there for a tattoo. Years ago, my friends - a sort of Ya-Ya sisterhood presented me with a gift certificate to get a tattoo for my 60th birthday. I had been telling them I was going to do it and I guess they took it seriously. Somehow, I lost the certificate and my nerve, but with my 69th
birthday looming, I decided it was time to actually do it while still in my sixties. Since my appointment was for 11 a.m., it was too early for any liquid courage, my daughter Lynda brought her camera and moral support. Being a cat lady, with my home full of cat figurines and three real ones, I googled and found a stylized cat design that I brought to Majenta. She welcomed us warmly and showed us around, and reassured me that it wouldn’t hurt – much. I admired her bright pink hair and her personality was so intriguing that I was mesmerized into relaxing. Her history includes traveling as a singer with rock bands and there are several photos of her with celebrities displayed on the walls. Majenta worked as a tattoo designer in the Seattle area for 25 years and then opened her own business here in Renton nearly nine years ago. “I wanted to come home,” she said. Tattooing as an art form has evolved over the years from being an ultimate taboo, to a tame sort of rebellion, and now, a form of artistic self-expression. Majenta is truly an artist with her vivid use of color and sense of design. I was also reassured by her sincerity about the cleanliness of her facility and tools of the trade, and her dedication in following the rules and procedures of this art form. The health and well-being of her clients are important to her. She believes it
St. Anthony’s raises money for typhoon victims Members of the St. Anthony community will send more than $1,600 to aid in the relief efforts and clean-up from Typhoon Haiyan, the storm that crashed into the Philippines this past weekend, killing thousands and leaving hundreds of thousands without a home. The church’s Filipino community on Nov. 10 hosted a breakfast originally designed to raise money to support parish programs. But after the storm hit the Philippines on Nov. 9
Columnist Jaris English poses with Renton tattoo artist Majenta after getting her first tattoo. Submitted is vitally important for all the artists who work for her to have the proper training and certification. I wanted the cat to be turquoise, and decided it should be discreetly below my neck in the back. I listened to Majenta’s hilarious stories, sprinkled with her laughs, and it kept me calm during the procedure. Surprisingly, it wasn’t bad at all.
When she was done with my lovely turquoise cat, she pointed to all the empty space of my back and suggested, “You need to have all your other pets now – the dogs here and the gecko there, in various colors next to the cat.” Maybe for my 80th birthday. To contact columnist Jaris English, email editor@rentonreporter.com.
the parish decided to instead direct the proceeds to the victims of the typhoon. Special donations amounted to more than $1,600 and the proceeds for the breakfast were still being counted this weekend. If you would like to contributed to the fund, please send your check made out St. Anthony Parish. Write “Philippines/CRS” in the memo field of the check. Send the check to: Pam McGriff, St. Anthony Parish, 314 S. Fourth St., Renton, WA 98057. The donations will be sent to Catholic Relief Services which has been present in the Philippines since 1945.

Lindbergh football advances to state tournament Daniel Wiitenan scores three times in 20-0 win over Olympic By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Daniel Wiitenan powered his way to three more touchdowns and the Lindbergh Eagles undefeated season rolled on this weekend with a 20-0 win over Olympic to earn a trip to the Tacoma Dome and state football tournament. The Eagles got it started early, with Wiitenan breaking free on a 26-yard touchdown run to give Lindbergh an early 6-0 lead. Later in the first, Wiitenan scored his second touchdown of the game, a 2-yard run that with the point after (also Wiitenan), made the score 13-0. It would stay that way until the
STATE TOURNEY PREVIEW: Lindbergh vs Mark Morris Ryland Spencer, Washington Analyst for Northwest Elite Index, offers the following assessment of this weekend’s Lindbergh-Mark Morris game: “Mark Morris is a tough football team. They come in as Greater St. Helens League Champions after finishing 5-0 in league play. They also played a tough non-league schedule, with four games against 3A competition, and went 3-1. Running the ball is the name of the game for the Monarchs, who will try to control the clock with backs Keigan Baker and Hayden Tapani. Last week, the Monarchs were down 10-0, before rallying for a 13-10 win over an upstart Capital team. fourth, when Wiitenan once again broke free, this time for a 20-yard touchdown run. After he added the extra point, Lindbergh was up 20-0, which the defense made stand for the victory.
The Seamount League Champion Eagles earned the District 3 No. 3 seed with the victory. They will play Mark Morris High School, of Longview, in the first round of the state tournament this
weekend in Tacoma. The game will be Friday or Saturday, but has yet to be scheduled. The Monarchs finished the year 8-1, winning the Greater St. Helen’s League.

“For the Eagles to be successful defensively, they are going to need to be tough against the run to make the Monarchs uncomfortable. Lindbergh LB Trevonn Russell is going to have to be on top of his game as Mark Morris will not shy away from coming right at him. “On the offensive side, the Eagles will need to run the ball with RB Daniel Wiitenan. He is one of the top backs in the 2A classification and should have running lanes this week. The Monarchs had a tough time stopping the Capital running game last week, allowing close to 250 yards on the ground. Look for Wiitenan to get the ball early, and often. “The winner of this game will get a home game next week.” To see more from Spencer, visit http://www.northwesteliteindex.com.
The Lindbergh girls cross-country team wrapped up a great season with a fourth-place finish in the state meet this past Saturday in Pasco. The boys team finished sixth. Leading the way for the girls was a pair of freshman runners. Lauren Wick was the top finisher for the Eagles, coming in 14th place with a time of 19:33.16. Feven Fesse Hatzion finished next for the Eagles, in 27th place with a time of 19:54.93. Renton’s top girls finisher was Joy Barnes, in 22nd, with a time of 19:47.89. Burligton-Edison’s RaynJoy Norton won the race with a time of 17:58.16. In the boys race, the top finisher for Lindbergh was Endalkachew Abebaw, in sixth place with a time of 15:55.19. Finishing next for the Eagles was Colton Maddy, in 19th place with a time of 16:21.73. Abebaw and Maddy finished 1-2 in the district meet [ more cross country page 15 ]
For the first time since 1993, Hazen soccer qualified for the State 3A Championship tournament with a 1-0 win Saturday against the Prairie Falcons. After two rough outings that made Saturday’s game a win-or-go-home scenario for the league champion Highlanders, Hazen found its game. While scoring and shooting were a rare commodity for both teams, a penalty kick by senior defender and captain Gabby Brower at the 30th minute stood up for the win. Goalie Brittany Dinkins earned the shutout for Hazen. “The penalty came off a corner. It looked like Bri (senior forward Brianne Sherin) was going to score. A couple of Hazen bodies hit the deck and the ref pointed to the spot,” Matthews said in a press release. It was a battle the entire game, the referee team called 30 fouls. Hazen led that category by two – 16 to 14. As the second half progressed, the game got more rugged. “Prairie was a good physical team. We’re more a finesse team. Today we showed we could play a physical game and hold off that attack. We can expect that now that we’re in The Dance,” Matthews ended. Hazen was scheduled to play Seattle Prep at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Renton Memorial Stadium, too late for this edition of the paper. Please see www.rentonreporter.com for results.

Sauls’ three TDs not enough as Renton falls to Sumner DaSaun Sauls scored three times Friday for the Renton football program, but it wasn’t enough as the powerful Sumner Spartans bested the Indians 45-21 in Sumner to end Renton’s season. Sumner scored first, on a 15-yard run by Brandon Tuilaepa, his first of three, to give the Spartans a 7-0 lead after the first quarter. But Sumner broke the game wide open in the second, scoring 28 points in the quarter. First, DeJon Lynch took the ball in from 2 yards out. Then Tuilaepa scored his second and third touchdowns, on a 4-yard run and then on a 49-yard pass from Chase Torgison to give Sumner 21-0 lead. The Indians rallied, however, with Sauls getting his first touchdown of the night, a 57-
yard run, and a Thomas Dejohnette 2-pointconversion to make the score 21-8. But the Spartans weren’t done with lynch getting his second of the half on a 23-yard TD run and a 35-8 halftime score. Renton answered in the third, with a 3-yard Sauls touchdown run for a 35-15 score, but Sumner got it right back with a 3-yard run of its own from Josh Riley and the teams headed to the fourth quarter with Sumner up 42-15. In the final frame, Sauls got his third touchdown of the night on a 12-yard run to get the game to 42-21, but that was as close as the Indians would get. Sumner closed out the scoring with a 29-yard field goal from Michael Smith and a final score of 45-21. Renton finished the year 4-6 overall and Renton’s DaSaun Sauls, above, scored all three of Renton’s touchdowns in the Indians 45-21 loss to Sumner Nov. 8 at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner.
