elsen Middle School Assistant Principal Elaine Love remembers having to miss school frequently when she was younger. At age 10, she rode the subway in New York to take her grandma to appointments and to food banks. Love had to translate for her Puerto Rican grandma who couldn’t speak English. “I had so many responsibilities at home that really weighed on me,” Love said. “And I was missing so many classes, but was too embarrassed to tell my teacher why.” It was a mentor coming into her life that inspired Love to keep pushing forward and make goals for her future. “I started working to be a successful person and trying to help other people in need,” Love said. Love looked around Nelsen and realized there were many students experiencing the same things. “There are students here that are burdened with having huge responsibilities at home, but they don’t share with each other because it’s a family issue and we are taught to care for our families,” Love said. “It’s too bad we don’t share because then everyone feels like they are all alone; they are the only one going through this.” Love started the Latina Girls Group at Nelsen and now has 20 girls [ more Turkeys page 9 ]
Facing a budget shortfall next year, King County Metro is making plans to reduce its service, including bus routes throughout Renton. According to a press release, Metro is presently facing a gap of $75 million and while there is hope that the state legislature may step in to fill some of the hole, without new funding, Metro says it will have no choice but to cut service. To close the gap, they will have to cut 600,000 service hours, about 17 percent of the system. That means 74 of Metro’s 214 routes could be deleted and 107 routes would be reduced or revised while only 33 routes would remain unchanged, though increases in crowding would be expected. The cuts would come between June and September of next year, with more to follow in 2015. The county this week did announce some positive news with a new agreement with the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 587 that if ratified, could save some money and some service reductions. An analysis of the possible cuts by the City of Renton, however, shows that our city would not be hit as hard as others. Six routes would be deleted, 10 routes revised and six would remain unchanged. It is an overall loss of 4 percent to the Renton area, compared with some areas of the county facing a reduction of 69 percent. Most of the high ridership routes would be un[ more bus cuts page 16 ]

95-year-old fan gets surprise seats on 50-yard line By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
In the middle of what feels like a once-in-a-lifetime season for Seahawks fans, one long-time Seattle supporter got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to catch a recent game at CenturyLink Field. Joanne Terrian, 95, has been a Seahawks fans since they began way back in 1976. She attended one game at the old Kingdome and caught a Hawks game at the new stadium when it first opened. But this year, thanks to her nephew and surprise gift from a rich benefactor, Terrian got the full treatment: Seats on the 50yard line in the lower bowl and a perfect view of the largest Seahawks comeback in history, all on a sunny Sunday afternoon in Seattle. “I really thoroughly enjoyed it, I tell you that,” Terrian said. The trip to see the Seahawks play the Buccaneers on Nov. 3 was a surprise. The story began in Vancouver, where nephew Sid Siqfusson works at Mill and Timber Products. One of the company’s clients is International Forest Group, owned by Daniel Kraft, son of Bob Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots. Sigfusson, knowing of his auntie’s love of the Hawks and looking for a way to celebrate her 95th birthday this past September, began asking around to see if there was any way to get tickets to see the hottest team in football, though he knew it was a “long shot” as tickets are tough to come by this season. “I just thought it would be quite the surprise if I could get some tickets and take her to the game,” he said.

“I just kind of threw that out there,” he said. “She has been a Seahawks fan probably since they started.” Two weeks later, a package arrived at the office with two tickets to section 235, row B, right on the 50-yard line. It also included a handwritten note from Daniel Kraft. “Dear Sid,” the note reads. “Here are the tickets for the Seahawks game you requested through our Vancouver office. Enjoy the game. Seahawks looks real good this year! Thanks for your support of IFP. Best, Dan.” “It blew me away,” Sigfussen said, calling Kraft a “class guy.” “You just couldn’t get a couple of tickets better than that.” “It was really, really exciting,” said
Terrian, who lives with her daughter Lorie in Renton. “We stayed right to the last.” Though the game started out poorly for the Hawks, Terrian and Sigfussen were on hand to watch as the team mounted its biggest comeback ever, overcoming a 21-point deficit to beat Tampa Bay 27-24. Terrian, who keeps track of all the team’s games in a notebook, as well as the rest of the teams in the NFC West, said she never doubted as she watched Russell Wilson lead the comeback. “There’s a lot of teams that are good, but ours is the best,” she said. “I like Russell. It’s almost impossible to believe we have a quarterback like that.” During halftime, the Seahawks honored the 1983 team and during

the third quarter, former receivers coach Steve Moore sat in front of them and Terrian was able to talk a little classic Hawks with him. “It was nice she could meet him too,” Sigfussen said, adding that they had to pinch themselves to be sure it was real. “It was an incredible day and everything went perfectly.” Terrian said she was disappointed about this past week’s bye and looked forward to the Seahawks key Monday night matchup with the New Orleans Saints next week. But she’s not too worried. She’s got a sense about these things. “They’re going to win the Super Bowl,” she said, a smile creeping into her voice as she adds, “We might be at the game. You never know.”

Renton’s Peter Han hoping to win trip back to the Artic cemented it for him. “What I want to do is become an Arctic scientist,” he said. “It’s cold, it’s hard and half the year there’s no sun. You won’t get bored studying it.” Han, 19, said he is concerned about global climate change, which he said has a “surprisingly big influence” on the Arctic climate. While he visited the Russian arctic this summer, the current contest, sponsored by the Fjallraven clothing company of Sweden, will take him through 320 kilometers of Scandinavian Arctic on dogsled.

holders or oven mitts when touching pot or lid handles. If possible, wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from oil splatter. • Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and be careful with marinades. Oil and water do not mix, and water causes oil to spill over causing a fire or even an explosion hazard. • The National Turkey Federation (NTF) recommends thawing the turkey in the refrigerator approximately 24 hours for every five pounds in weight. • Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher nearby. Never use water to extinguish a grease fire. If the fire is manageable, use your allpurpose fire extinguisher. If the fire increases, immediately call the fire department for help.

birds are not worth the risks. And, as a result of these tests, UL has decided not to certify any turkey fryers with our trusted UL Mark.” Turkey Fryer Hazards: • Many units easily tip over, spilling hot oil from the cooking pot. • If the cooking pot is overfilled with oil, the oil may spill out of the unit when the turkey is placed into the cooking pot. Oil may hit the burner or flames, causing a fire to engulf the entire unit. • Partially frozen turkeys placed into the fryer can cause a spillover effect. This too may result in an extensive fire. • With no thermostat controls, the units have the potential to overheat the oil to the point of combustion. • The lid and handles on the sides of the cooking pot
get dangerously hot, posing severe burn hazards. Important Safety Information If you use a turkey fryer, please consider the following tips: • Turkey fryers should ONLY be used outdoors at a safe distance from buildings and any other flammable materials. • Never use turkey fryers in a garage or on a wooden deck. • Make sure the fryer is used on a flat surface to reduce accidental tipping. • Never leave the fryer unattended. Most units do not have thermostat controls. If you do not watch the fryer carefully, the oil may continue to heat until it catches fire. • Never let children or pets near the fryer even if it is not in use. The oil inside the cooking pot can remain dangerously hot hours after use. • To avoid oil spillover, do not overfill the fryer. • Use well-insulated pot-

RHS Alumni honored on Wall of Fame The Friends of Renton High School recognized 12 alumni by placing their names on the Wall of Honor, a recently-installed display of names, photos and biographies of some of the schools distinguished graduates. The group hopes the honor wall will provide role models to students currently attending Renton High and represent the school’s values of pride, tradition and excellence. The Wall of Honor represents nearly the whole span of the high school’s existence, from the class of 1919 to the class of 1980. Among the honorees are Sally Jewel, current US Secretary of the Interior and former Chief Executive Officer of REI, as well as US Olympian Aretha (Hill) Thurmond. Board member Stephen Clymer graduated in 1969, the last Renton High School class before Hazen High School opened said the wall represents a lot to former and current students. “It’s the tradition,” said Clymer. “Our family was here The

before the city was Renton. I’m a third-generation Renton High grad, and have tons of relatives that attended Renton High. So it was just a big part of growing up.” Former Renton Mayor Don Custer is a 1953 grad. Custer said he is proud of the school’s first state championship basketball team and the diversity that was represented when he went to the school. “Immigrants who grew up in Renton and proceeded us at school, for them, Renton High was the great leveler, the great mixer,” Custer said. “It was a thing that brought the community together through the young people.”

Let’s be clear: Try your best to not say what you mean
I have always been fascinated by words and usage. I can often tell what a speaker or writer doesn’t want me to know by the duck-anddodge words and usage. Journalism is, in theory, centered on clear writing. There is an old adage that journalists should write for eighth-grade readers. The idea is to dumb down the copy because people can’t understand the journalist’s big words. I think that adage is dumb. Most folks I know can read copy very well, they just don’t want to be bored or preached to by opinions masquerading as news. Of course, there are many who love opinion journalism as long as it feeds them their opinion. Suppression of the other guys’ dopey ideas is alive and growing. What prompted this column was a news article I read about layoffs at a metro newspaper in another state. The writer quoted an executive who said the editorial reductions – that means layoffs – will come from, “non-reader-facing functions.” Non-reader-facing functions – roll that one through your brain a few times. Careful, it may kill memory cells. The antidote is to down a tall glass of buttermilk. Apparently that is how we be should be talking to eighth-graders. Johnny, please stop acting like a non-readingpinheaded-little-puke and begin your nonmath-very-boring functions. If there are non-reader-facing functions are there not-non-reader-facing functions? Am I a not-non or a non? Do I want to be a not-non or a non? If you’re getting laid off, are you a not-non or a non? Maybe this is all some sort of dirty talk that I am too old to understand. Could it be some sort of non-somethingsomething function that happens when you do-something-something and that function then become a not-non? Or maybe it is secret agent code. It was placed in this news article for another secret agent. If the agent stands on one leg, holds the article upside down and sings the White Album backward the code will be revealed. There’s nothing like a good mystery. Where is Alfred Hitchcock when we need him? I wonder if God knows what a not-non is. I bet he has to ask Mikey. “Hey, Mikey. What’s a not-non? “A what?” “A not-non?” “I don’t know. Where’s the dictionary?” “I don’t know. Why can we never find a dictionary when we need it?” I wonder if non-reader-facing function will show up in the Oxford English dictionary next year. I suspect the first definition would be clear – to duck-and-dodge and try your best to not say what you mean.

Give until it feels good When I first started in my fundraising career, we were told to get donors to “give until it hurt.” Fundraising professionals came to realize that a better mantra was, “give until it feels good” – a not-so-subtle difference. I often think of that mantra in my own life. I’m not a millionaire, so I can’t write checks like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet. But I give back to my community in small ways and ways that make me feel good. For instance, overtime I have sat on several nonprofit boards helping to move those organizations forward. I have volunteered to write newsletters and even volunteered to teach writing to my daughter’s elementary school class. Because I love the theater, I have volunteered to paint sets and work backstage for local theater productions. Through Rotary, I have volunteered to check patients in at RotaCare, Renton’s free healthcare clinic, and greet seniors at the Senior Center’s Thanksgiving dinner. Last year, my daughter and I bought supplies at the dollar store to make holiday gift bags filled with toiletries for Lynn Bohart

all the men in our local men’s shelter. I’ve volunteered for various fundraising auctions and slapped stickers onto dictionaries to give out to third graders. Because I know how to put together a decent resume, I’ve donated that as an auction item. Lately, I’ve become a foster parent, taking in rescue dogs until they find their forever homes. I make cash donations when I can, but I also keep a few $1 bills in the console of my car to hand out to that person standing on the street corner who looks like they could use a cup of coffee or a hamburger. My volunteer time and donations pale in comparison to many people in our community. And yet, I do what I can. Why? Because it makes me feel good when I do it. That’s the whole point, isn’t it? I’m not moving mountains. Nor am I solving society’s problems. But I just might make a small difference in someone’s day or in a nonprofit’s ability to help yet one more person in need. What you do doesn’t have to be worthy of a press release. It just has to make you feel good. Just think how powerful it would be if each one of us did that. You know what?

Alcohol, pot fuel noisy party dradford@rentontonreporter.com
An alcohol-fueled Halloween party turned noisy and violent and five residents of the house on Monroe Avenue Northeast were cited for breach of peace after officers responded three times. One of the cited residents was given a verbal warning at about 11:15 p.m. He answered the door when officers returned at about 1:45 a.m., extremely drunk but polite. He remembered the earlier visit and agreed to tell everyone to leave. “Everyone needs to go. The cops are here.” At the height of the party, police figured about 50 people were at the house. A smaller number left but congregated in the middle of Northeast Eighth Street. They argued and threw wild punches. An officer heard someone rack a round but no one yelled gun. Weapon in hand, an officer took cover behind a nearby car. Officers were outnumbered in the chaotic scene but so far no crime had been committed. Slowly, everyone left.
At about 2:30 a.m., officers returned. Maybe someone had a gun. More gang rhetoric was yelled. Traffic was stopped on Northeast Eighth. Officers using a PA system called for everyone to leave the house; no one did. Officers walked to the front door and people inside started to leave using other exits. Inside, officers found multiple liquor bottles and beer cans. There was blood on the walls; the rooms smelled of marijuana. Ten guests were locked inside the bathroom and bedrooms. They were escorted out and told not to return.
Man fires round into ground A Renton man who feared for his neighbor’s safety fired a round of his handgun into the ground Nov. 3 to scare off an intruder. The man wasn’t cited for illegal discharge of a gun but he turned over the gun to an officer for safekeeping.

Cell phone lands two in jail A cell phone he stole from a women’s bathroom in Olympia landed a Renton man and his girlfriend in jail Nov. 4. Using her boyfriend’s phone, the victim, a Tukwila woman, tracked her stolen cell phone to Smithers Avenue South. Officers then traced the cell phone to a specific house on Smithers. A woman came to the door. She’s the girlfriend. Officers recognized the house as associated with the 34-year-old Renton man who is linked to thefts and other
crimes. She told officers she intended to return the phone and had called the owners several times. She didn’t have an answer when asked why she didn’t leave the phone with a gas station clerk. Her boyfriend was going to the bathroom in the women’s restroom real quickly. The boyfriend was waiting in the girlfriend’s car in an alley as she talked with officers. He has a felony and a misdemeanor warrant. After arresting him, officers found two clear baggies, one with a white powderlike substance and one with a crystal-like substance that tested positive for methamphetamine. Also in the vehicle were stolen pieces of identification, including a library card and drivers licenses. The woman was booked into the SCORE regional jail for possession the stolen cell phone and the man was booked for possession of the stolen identification.

has made me feel the need to do something. So I just wrote a check for $15 – that’s all – just $15. That’s what I can give right now. Who should I send it to? We have so many great nonprofits in our community. There are those that help the homeless, and the ones who help people who need clean clothes. The arts organizations. Our museum. The healthcare organizations and the food banks. The groups that help kids stay in school and graduate, or the ones who get kids off drugs and off the street. There are those who work with the disabled and the environment, seniors and pets. All of these groups are on the front lines.
And they need our help – they need my help. So I’ll send my gift to one of these local nonprofits. I’m not telling which one. That’s for me to know and them to find out. But the good news is - I feel great! Writing a check for just $15 made me feel good. Anyone care to join me?
Lynn Bohart is the executive director of the Renton Community Foundation that oversees a number of charitable funds that provide support to those in need in the greater Renton area.

Two new members on board By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Barbara Drennen and Dr. Tamara Sleeter have been elected to the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Commissioners. Sleeter’s victory in the Nov. 5 general election was apparent after the initial results released election night gave her a commanding lead over incumbent commissioner Sue Bowman. Drennen’s race with hospital volunteer Albert Haylor of Kent was much closer, although Drennen maintained a roughly 2-percentage-point lead since election night. As of Monday, Drennen had 50.90 percent or 23,017 votes to Haylor’s 48.77 percent or 22,052 votes. Sleeter had 60.37 percent or 27,152 to Bowman’s 39.23 percent or 17,645 votes. The election results were certified Tuesday after the final tally was posted. Drennen of Kent will replace commissioner Anthony Hemstad on the commission. Hemstad, who served one six-year term on the commission, resigned in September and has moved outside the hospital district. Drennen will be sworn in at a commission meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 2, in the Valley Medical Center board room.

actively involved. “The focus is for the girls to give back to their community, do group activities and share their stories with each other,” Love said. “We also have mentors for the girls.” A group of women at University of Washington’s Bothell division meets with the girls frequently. “It’s really fun to be a part of this group because we get to learn about each others’ family, cultures and religion,” said Jessica Monroy, 12. “It’s nice to have friends that understand what you’re going through.” Monroy said she was hesitant to join the Latina Girls Group at first but was persuaded to attend a meeting by her friend Clarissa Gonzales, 11. “I thought it sounded like fun and I didn’t want to go by myself,” Gonzales said, laughing. “We liked it right away and enjoy doing community service projects because it feels good to give back to others in need.”
A project the girls are working on this month is joining Love on her quest to make around 15 turkeys for homeless people in the Seattle and Renton community. With a heart for community service, Love started feeding the homeless 20 years ago when she was a school counselor in the Tacoma School District. “I usually do this all by myself, so it is really nice to have help this year,” she said. Love launches into the culinary endeavor every Thanksgiving and Christmas, using the home economics ovens at Nelsen, that’s use has been donated. Her efforts are to support Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church’s homeless feeding program. Every third Saturday, as Tabernacle’s nutritionist, she prepares healthy food for the homeless that come to the church. “It is so important to give back to the community because it makes you see your own situation in a different light,” Love

said. “It changes kids in a positive way when they focus on other people and helping those in need.” Love said she wants to start a Latino Boys Group at the school. “It’s not just Latina girls at this school going through these issues, the boys are having the same experiences too,” she said. “We at Nelsen are trying to instill leadership, good citizenship, as well as learning to give back to the community by helping others.”

Renton woman brings home judo championship By Sarah Kehoe
skehoe@rentonreporter.com
Leilani Akiyama, middle, won the first-place gold medal at the World Judo Champions held in Samoa. courtesy photo I am today if it wasn’t for him.” Judo is s a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or take down an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke, explained Holm. “Leilani is a great competitor,” Holm said. “She
is as tough as some of the guys.” Akiyama has been competing in judo since she was eight. She was junior national champion 24 times and junior international champion 20 times. She competed in the Samoa world cup in 2010 and took home a bronze medal. “The hardest part about judo is trying to throw someone on their back that is trying to throw you,” she said. “You have to stay tough.” To prepare for competi-
Boutique
tions, Akiyama trains twice a day, six days a week. She lifts weights or does a form of conditioning in the morning and practices judo at night. Akiyama says this diligence is necessary if you want to do well in the competitions. “When you get to the world level, almost everyone is going to be a tough fight,” she said. Akiyama’s first match was against an opponent from Australia, the second Great Britain and her final match was against an opponent from New Zealand. “My second match (semi-finals), went into overtime,” she said. “The first person who scores wins the match. We
fought in the Samoan heat and humidity for an extra match length and I was able to score and put myself into the finals. We were in an arena without air conditioning so we all were extra tired.” Her goal is to make it onto the 2016 Olympic team. “I am traveling and competing around the world to make the team,” Akiyama said. “I hope to make my mom and my country proud and represent the USA at the world’s biggest stage, the Olympic games held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.” With Akiyama’s first[ more judo page 11 ]

Renton resident Leilani Akiyama, 26, grew up in her stepfather’s studio, Judo Champions. She remembers coming home after school to practice judo, weightlifting, running and learning technical fighting skills from coach and stepfather, John Holm. “I love that judo is so unpredictable; anyone can win or lose on any day,” Akiyama said. “The way the rules are, a player can win or lose as soon as the clock starts. It can take seconds or minutes.” Akiyama’s lifelong training and commitment to judo paid off. She won the first-place gold medal at the World Judo Championships held in Samoa last week. She says it is her parents who helped her achieve this accomplishment. “My mom sacrificed so much of her life for my dreams,” Akiyama said. “I dedicate every win to her. My stepfather is the best technical coach and I wouldn’t be the fighter that

place win at the Oceania Open, she is ranked 55th in the world. She states she still has a long way to go; in order to reach the Olympics, an athlete must make it to top 14th in the world for women and 22nd in the world for men by 2016. Yet it isn’t her ability that makes Akiyama doubt if she can compete in the Olympics. “The hardest part about competing in judo is the financial toll on my parents and me,” she said. “Because we, athletes, have to pay for almost everything out of our own pocket, the costs of such really add up.” Akiyama is not going to give up easily. She is working to not only meet her goals in judo, but her financial goal as well. “I’m always actively looking for sponsors and people wanting to help me reach my Olympic dream,” she said.

Holiday fun getting ready to begin By Sarah Kehoe skehoe@rentonreporter.com
Many family-friendly activities are starting up around Renton in celebration of the holidays. Gene Coulon Beach Park lights up the season as it joins Ivar’s Clam Lights for the 20th year featuring a visual display of several dozen trees and shrubs professionally decorated with thousands of lights. Centered at Ivar’s, Kidd Valley, and the water walk at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, the overall decorated paved trail path is a flat walkable loop

The fun continues at the Piazza with an evening program on Dec. 7, featuring the tree lighting, arrival of Santa,
music, singing, refreshments and more. The Evergreen City Ballet performs “The Nutcracker” at the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center.

The performances are Dec. 20 at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 21 at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 22 at 1:30 p.m. The annual K9 Candy Cane 5K Fun Run and Walk is Dec. 8 at 9:00 a.m. It will start at the Renton Community Center and travel along

changed, including the 101, 102, 140, 153, 169 and 906. According to a memo prepared by Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman, Metro routes 110, 161, 167, 908DART and 909DART would be the ones deleted. Route 110 runs from the Longacres Sounder Station, through the Renton Transit Center to North Renton and terminating at the Kenworth/PACCAR plant. It runs 10 trips in each direction per day. According to the memo, however, this route runs parallel to the new RapidRide F-Line, which begins in June, and would have been deleted anyway, though a longer walking distance between stops is expected for most
www.rentonreporter.com riders. Route 161 is a peak-hour weekday-only service from the East Hill of Kent to Seattle. It passes through Renton via 108th Avenue Southeast, Carr Road, Lind Avenue and Grady Way. If it is deleted, riders will have to use route 169 which has connections to Seattle through the Renton Transit Center, though the overall trip time will likely increase because of a transfer. Route 167 is a peak-hour weekday service from Renton to the University District, via the South Renton Park and Ride and the Renton Transit Center. If deleted, riders could use the 101 to Seattle and connect there to the University District. Route 280 is a night-owl service around Lake Washington, including Renton. It
‘Tis the season for Holidays at the Hospital.
only operates two trips nightly in the early morning hours. No other fixed route options would be available to third-shifters and night owls. The 908DART route operates weekdays and Saturdays and runs from downtown Renton to Renton Highlands (south of Sunset Boulevard), Renton Technical College and the Maplewood neighborhood. The 105 could provide an alternative for some, but it may require longer walks or drives to transit stops. The 909DART runs from downtown to the Highlands (north of Sunset) and Kennydale. The 105 and 240 may provide an alternative for some, but again, longer walks to stops will most likely be necessary. Revisions would also be necessary to the following Metro routes: 105, 106, 107, 111, 114, 143 EX, 148, 240, 342 and 907DART. For detailed information on the changes, visit metro.kingcounty.gov.
