Voters shooting down transit and roads funding measure By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
In the first round of ballot counting, completed election evening, King County’s transit funding measure appears headed for defeat. As of Wednesday afternoon, voters are rejecting the measure at a rate of 55 percent. The measure would have increased the county sales tax by 0.1 percent and increased car tab fees to $60. The money would go toward preventing steep cuts in Metro services
and to funding road improvements in the cities. Officials predicted the measure would raise about $130 million in revenue, with 60 percent of the money going to Metro and the other 40 percent being sent back to cities for roads. Should the proposition continue to fail, steep cuts are ahead for Metro transit, including to routes in Renton, though our city fares better than others. According to an analysis last year by the City, six routes would be deleted, 10 routes revised and six would remain [ more results page 4 ]

or these women, what started as an effort to get some exercise and social time has turned into years of friendship and entertainment for the community. They call themselves The Coulon Park Walkers and they have been dressing the “Interface” sculpture at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park for about 20 years in festive clothes for different holidays.

“This is a group of about 12 women of different ages, personalities and backgrounds, different career choices, and different hobbies and interests,” said Dolores Halstead, group member. “Yet, over time, we’ve developed this wonderful and caring friendship, which is important to all of us and goes beyond just dressing statues.” The trips to the sculpture started in 1993, when three friends decided to do something festive for Halloween and droppedoff carved pumpkins at the bottom of the “Interface” sculpture.

Just a day before her death, Allison Midori Leedy talked with her grandmother about her plans to move on with her life and education without her boyfriend. Her boyfriend, Gabriel Galan Navarro, 20, learned of her plans and on April 12, county prosecutors charge, strangled her to death in their shared apartment on Eagle Ridge Drive in Renton. He then texted her father, “She’s dead. I have the last laugh.” Navarro was charged April 15 with first-degree murder, domestic violence. His arraignment is 9 a.m. May 1 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, where he’s being held on $2 million bail. Leedy’s death was ruled a homicide by the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. She died of asphyxia due to strangulation. Prosecutors wrote in charging documents that Navarro had at least two motives to kill Leedy: “his desire to prevent her from leaving him and his desire to punish her family for trying to help her get away from him.” Leedy, who was 20, attended Franklin [ more Leedy page 27 ]

The Renton Fire Department this week honored Renton resident Donisha Miller, front row, second from right, for her role in notifying the department of fire in the early morning hours of March 5. According to Chief Mark Peterson, Miller noticed a fire in an apartment building that adjoins the one where she lives, called 911 and then pulled the fire alarm on three buildings to make sure residents could evacuate. Peterson said the location of the fire in a “void space” meant it would have burned longer before tripping a smoke detector, which meant that Miller’s actions saved lives. “That took a lot of courage. That took a lot of fortitude,” Peterson said. “It was Donisha’s action that saved some lives that night.” Courtesy City of renton

Sewing ‘rock star’ visits Renton shop By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
A roomful of sewing enthusiasts turned out Tuesday morning to see Hanspeter Ueltschi, fourthgeneration owner of the sewing company BERNINA International, at The Sewing Machine Company in downtown Renton. Ueltschi has been described as “the rock star of the sewing world” for his family’s machines and business, which began in Switzerland more than 100 years ago. He’s on a world tour and prior to his Renton stop, he was in Australia and California and plans to continue on to Seattle, Portland and Chicago this week. On this tour, Ueltschi is explaining the principles upon which the company was founded, talk about the different company sewing models and how he hopes to reach out to the next generation of sewers. “I always like to see the excitement of our dealers and our consumers,” Ueltschi said. “They all love BERNINAs. They think we’re the Rolls Royce or

He offered to sign whatever machines people bought that day. “I’m a BERNINA owner; I have a BERNINA sewing
machine and I was just interested in coming and meeting the head honcho,” said Barbee Stevens, laughing. She wasn’t alone in that regard. Barbara Smith had her own questions about technique she wanted to ask the company representatives.

“This is my favorite place to come for BERNINA stuff…it’s kind of exciting, fun and you get to see new things,” Smith said. The Renton shop hosts classes for the sewing community, which Cevin Waffle, store manager, said is pretty strong. “Generally we have a
pretty wide range of sewers, from people who are just doing basic home sewing for themselves to pretty elaborate crafters, quilters and embroiders,” Waffle said. “Today’s machine is pretty elaborate, with the ability to connect directly to your PC and download information from the internet and send it right into your machine. Then have the machine embroider it out.” The demographics are what you might expect for the hobby: middle-aged and older women. One of the attendees shed some light on the demographics of today’s quilters. Kristen Ballou of the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild said the sewing groups she’s familiar with average between the ages of 30 to 40. “I think maybe we don’t do a good enough job in telling the world or the younger generation how cool (sewing) is,” said Ueltschi. “Schools don’t offer a lot of sewing lessons anymore. Maybe the press, tell the world that sewing is cool.”

Hazen grad builds homes on break From a press release:
One Hazen High School alum chose to forego the usual hedonistic rituals of spring break this year and opted for some altruism instead. Ryan Wilkins, a 2009 graduate of Hazen, helped build a house for three orphaned siblings in Baja, Mexico, as part of a Central Washington University program. Wilkins graduated from the university’s aviation program in 2013, but went

with 11 other Central Washington University students and recent grads to Mexico, March 25 to 29. The group flew from Seattle to San Diego, then drove by van across the border. They were met by a small crew of Mexican builders at the build site and a cement slab with anchor bolts. James Avey, an associate professor in the school’s college of business, led the trip. Avey has helped build homes in Mexico in the past and he sees the trips as opportunities for students
to learn outside the classroom. “The primary principle of leadership is, ‘It’s not about you.’ To go and change someone’s life and come home $1,000 poorer, you can’t get that in a classroom,” Avey said. “Hopefully it will open their eyes and help shape them.” The group flew from Seattle to San Diego.

The guys not only provided the labor, but they pitched in cash to pay for the house — about $7,000. “There were a few weeks there I was like, ‘I’m not sure how I’m going to pay rent to pay for this,’ but that kept it exciting,” Wilkins said about saving for the

trip. The new two-bedroom house with a loft went to three siblings: Carlos, 19; Jessica, 17; and Victor, 16. Their father was killed in a house fire and their mother lost her battle with cancer last year. For Wilkins, the experience pointed out the comforts that Americans take for granted.

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

the municipal and district courts accused of such crimes as DUI, shoplifting and domestic violence. Prothero is survived by his wife, Kelly, and two grown children. Sean, a legal assistant, is the swim coach at Kennedy High School. Marley, a standout high school and collegiate swimmer and one-time assistant coach at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, is the coach of the Kent Swim & Tennis Club. He is also survived by brother Blake Emery. The family asks that any donations be sent to either the Kent Parks Foundation or The Husky Swimming Foundation.

In addition, Prothero was a frequent lecturer at legal education seminars and recognized for his expertise on scientific evidence, forensic DNA, mental state defenses and the death penalty. Attorneys who worked closely with Prothero described him as the ultimate professional – caring, compassionate, smart and unflappable. “He had a wonderfully generous spirit. It pervaded all aspects of his life – the way he practiced law, particularly in the way he treated his clients, which, let’s face it, were always in trouble,” said Todd Gruenhagen, who worked with Prothero on the high-profile Ridgway case and other trials. “He was always able to find positive, redeeming qualities in just about every human being he ever meet.” Prothero began his career in criminal defense in 1983 by working as a public defender for the Associated Counsel for the Accused (ACA).

Mark Prothero – prominent criminal defense attorney, Renton High School graduate, and swimming coach – passed away early Saturday morning at his Kent home with family at his side. Prothero, who waged a two-year battle with lung cancer, was 57. A Celebration of Life is 1-5 p.m. May 10 at Kentwood High School, 25800 164th Ave. S.E., Covington. Prothero is best known as one of the lead defense attorneys in the historic case against Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, from 2001 to 2003. As co-counsel, Prothero brokered a plea deal that spared Ridgway the death penalty in exchange for the Auburn man confessing to 49 counts of aggravated murder. Prothero had deep ties to the Renton community. His mother Shirley Prothero lives in the family home in Lakeridge. He graduated from Renton High School in 1974, after becoming one of the best swimmers ever to compete for the school and then the University of Washington. He was captain of the UW swim team in 1977 and 1978 and represented the United States in international competitions in Argentina, Amsterdam and Paris. Prothero coached swimming at Kentwood High School in Kent from 1997 through 2007, earning state Coach of the Year honors in 2003. He was one of 10 outstanding Renton High alumni who were inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011 as part of the school’s Centennial celebration. For 36 years Prothero held the school’s record in the 500yard freestyle. It was broken in 2010 by then-sophomore Steve Sholdra, who is having a record-breaking swimming career at Fordham University in New York. Prothero watched as Sholdra won the 500 state title in 2011. “I respect Mark Prothero so much,” Sholdra said in an interview with the Renton Reporter in 2012. “Hopefully when the next Renton swimmer comes up who can break that 500 record, I can be there to congratulate him too. It’s great that he came all the way to state, and I hope I can continue that tradition,” he said. Prothero earned a history degree in 1978 from the UW; his law degree came from the University of San Diego. Prothero was a partner at Hanis Irvine Prothero, PLLC, in Kent. Prothero had more than 30 years of experience in criminal defense. He was on the Washington Supreme Court’s panel of attorneys qualified to defend individuals faced with the death penalty. He defended those accused of state

“Over time, we’ve developed this wonderful and caring friendship, which is important to all of us and goes beyond just dressing statues.“ Dolores Halstead, member of The Coulon Park Walkers
Volunteering my way is turning a dog into hero American society thrives on volunteerism. From church volunteers, to school volunteers, to those who sit with the dying, we are a people who naturally want to help. April is National Volunteer Month and while I volunteer a lot, I have always looked for that one thing that would give my life more meaning. And now I’ve found it. I am a dog lover. Dogs make my life whole. Last month, I wrote about the rescue process for abandoned dogs and the network of people who find them loving homes. Sadly, homeless pets outnumber homeless people in this country by 5 to 1, and only 1 in 12 shelter dogs will actually find homes before being euthanized to make room for more. Why is this true? Because dogs are a commodity, like Barbie Dolls. They are something to be bred, marketed and sold by the bucket-load. Look around at the pet stores, the puppy mills, the ads in the newspapers. When a certain dog becomes popular, they suddenly become readily available. But unlike unwanted Barbie Dolls, dogs are put to sleep by the millions when there is no one to take care of them. My volunteer role is to serve as a foster home – saving one dog at a time. It’s not an easy job. I often have to drive to North Seattle to pick up the dog(s), wait for them to be vetted and/ or take them to a groomer. Many of these dogs are scared of humans. They’ve been chased, cornered and caught. Some have been abused, others neglected. And some have been abandoned and left to wonder why they’re now alone. A foster’s job is to be patient, build their confidence, teach them good manners, housebreak them, or just give them love. And when a family decides to adopt them, our job is to let them go. My first foster was a 1-year-old female terrier who was underweight and wouldn’t eat for two days. She was lethargic and stayed to herself. But soon, I saw a change. She began to play and put on weight. By the time she went to her forever home 10 weeks later, she was a confident, playful animal ready to take on the world. My second rescue was also young but had trouble using his long gangly back legs. He struggled with my porch steps and couldn’t run properly. It was heartbreaking to watch. We suspect that he’d spent most of his young life in a shelter, never able to behave like a normal dog. Yet, by the time he left, he was chasing my two dogs around the yard and cornering like a sports car. But my favorite story is about Murphy, a

Oso: Rescue now, rant later That venerable adage, “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it,” came to mind Tuesday as President Barack Obama departed the Oso firehouse. Not because the communicator-in-chief had just provided three cringe-worthy moments with his tortured pronunciation of the town’s name. Rather it was Obama’s subtle acknowledgement the emergency response to the deadly mudslide did not get carried out in letter-perfect fashion. Families and neighbors of the deceased and missing encountered frustrations with first responders during those first days after the earth moved. “Some terrific lessons were learned in the midst of very hard times during this process, because almost uniquely, we had not just coordination between state, local and federal officials, but also coordination between volunteers and those officials,” Obama said to the crowd at the firehouse. “And I know that it required some improvisation and some kinks getting worked out, but it was important for the family members themselves and the community themselves to be hands-on and participate in this process — particularly a community like this one where folks are hearty and know how to do things, and take great pride in being self-reliant. “It was important that they weren’t just bystanders in this process, they were involved every step of the way,” he said. Rep. Elizabeth Scott, R-Monroe, might feel validated by his words; she made much the same point a month ago. But the freshman lawmaker, among those who met with the president Tuesday, expressed it far less diplomatically, and perhaps too soon, to be effective. Only four days had passed before she unJerry Cornfield

OPINION
[6] April 25, 2014
President Barack Obama visited the Oso mudslide in Snohomish County on Tuesday. Everett Herald loaded about a lack of common sense in aspects of the rescue and recovery efforts. She spoke of how residents embraced Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin’s “Get ‘er done” ethic to spring into action in the face of what sometimes seemed a slow and jumbled response from official quarters.

[ cornfield from page 6] She expressed particular pique with the decisions to bar Darrington residents from joining the search for victims and restoring a private road for emergency vehicles to access the site – prohibitions the hometown folks promptly ignored and officialdom eventually welcomed. Those were probably the kind of “kinks getting worked out” that Obama had in mind. “It’s not a time for armchair quarterbacking but for heaven’s sake, listen to the people on the ground,” she said March 27. “People of Darrington feel
really dismissed and put down.” There would be a time to discuss what didn’t go right and what to do about it, she said. “There’s no such thing as a perfect response. We can learn from this and going forward we can think about how we have a better plan,” she said. When that time comes — if Scott picked up any tips from Obama — it will be to make sure what she says gets the attention, rather than how she says it.

Family Circle Learning Center would like to introduce The Rodriguez Family!

When searching for a daycare center that would far exceed our children’s needs for care, Family Circle Learning Center stood out from the rest! Family Circle not only met, but also surpassed our needs for care, curriculum, school transportation, safety, location, and security. Our children’s happiness is a high priority for us and a major factor in choosing Family Circle. It was their community-like appeal and the longevity of their staff that confirmed our feelings about Family Circle. Another wonderful feature at Family Circle is their check in process. The security doors are fingerprint activated! This is a huge factor why we chose Family Circle over the competition. Since day one, the staff and teachers have been extremely kind and diligent. Providing an empowering environment at each age level. We have seen teachers instill values and knowledge in our son as he learned to walk, talk and enter kindergarten. We have a special place in our heart for the directors and program coordinator who were very supportive of our son’s special needs for speech therapy and played an instrumental part in his enrollment in ECEAP schools. We have also noted that the staff has helped our daughter break out of her shyness and mature into a lovely, social and respectful young lady. Both our children enjoy being at Family Circle and we are comforted in knowing that our children are extremely well cared for every day. Our military family may have been uprooted over the years, but we feel at home with Family Circle Learning Center!!!

way and generally being a nuisance. A crew supervisor didn’t want to press charges; he just wanted them to leave. One of the men just looked at an officer when asked to get out of the street. He was holding a can of Steel Reserve alcohol. The officer moved him to the sidewalk. The man again walked into Sunset, blocking two lanes of traffic. The officer asked for more units as he was planning to arrest the man, who resisted the officer’s attempts to take him into custody. He was finally handcuffed, swearing at the officer that if he had a “heater” (slang for gun) the next time they met, he would take care of the officer. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail.
Woman gets off bus, attacked A 28-year-old Seattle woman required treatment at Valley Medical Center for possible broken ribs after she was attacked April 14 by several men after getting off the bus. The attack occurred at about 11 p.m. in the 3700 block of East Valley Road. Several men jumped from the darkness and tried to steal her purse. She fought back but they took her wallet. She was hit in the face and was kicked in the ribs after falling to the ground. About $150 was inside the wallet along with several debit and credit cards.

On April 17, 2014, Marilyn Lansciardi, age 77, lost her three-year battle with pancreatic cancer. She fought this disease with courage, a steely determination, and most of all, an unfailing sense of humor. She died as she lived: Surrounded by family and friends. Born in Kennydale on October 20, 1936, Marilyn lived in Renton all her life. She graduated from Renton High School in 1954 and married Frank Lansciardi in December 1955. Marilyn was the ultimate housewife and homemaker and was well known for her outstanding Italian cooking. It was said she could take a tennis shoe, add a little homemade sauce to it, and it would be delicious. Proud of her Italian-Norwegian heritage, Marilyn used to say that her cool Scandinavian blood offset her warm Italian blood. She was a loving, generous human being, both with her heart and her spirit. She enjoyed a good bourbon and soda, especially when accompanied by family and friends, and a healthy dose of ribald humor. She also enjoyed relaxing by the pool at their condo in Rancho Mirage, CA. She loved to travel, especially on cruises. Marilyn was preceded in death by her husband, Franklin Delano Lansciardi and their infant son, Larry Lansciardi. She is survived by her son, Jim Lansciardi, of Renton; sister, Nancy Jones, of Seattle; and brothers Larry Phillips, of Auburn, Richard Phillips, of Auburn, and Mark Phillips, of Renton. She is also survived by her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, James and Sandra Lansciardi, of Mercer Island; and nieces Julie Snowdon, Laura Jones, Jackie Rowe, Patricia Jones (Puddin), Elizabeth Younts, Natalie Crump, Nicole Goodman, and Angela Peterson. Marilyn (Auntie to most) was loved by many–family and friends alike. Her beloved nephew, Franco Phillips, adored niece Avalonne Phillips, and their three boys, her angels, Antonio, Levi and Jimmy (James Delano) Phillips held a special place in her heart, as did Franco’s mother and sister, Debbie Simpson and Erica Englund. Among her many devoted cousins, Judy Bing was her dear friend and travel partner. The family wishes to thank everyone for their unending support and love, especially during the past three years. There was a tremendous outpouring of love and encouragement that sustained Marilyn throughout her illness and was much appreciated. There are too many names to mention but you all have our sincere gratitude. The family also wishes to personally thank the staff at Virginia Mason Medical Center for their care and concern throughout the past three years. And another thanks to Evergreen Hospice. In lieu of flowers, Marilyn requested donations be made to Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, Virginia Mason Medical Foundation, Attn: Dr Vincent Picozzi MD, PO Box 1930, MS D1-MF, Seattle, WA, 98111. We need to beat this deadly disease. 1034893
Woman assaulted by ex-boyfriend A 26-year-old Seattle woman blacked out briefly after she was thrown against a mini-van and to the ground by an ex-boyfriend on April 4 at a motel on Lake Washington Boulevard. Someone yelled at the man and the suspect pulled her into the front seat, where she landed upside down. They argued over money and another woman. The minivan pulled into a gas station and the 27-yearold Renton man told her he would kill her if she called police. They have a 2-year-old child together who was asleep in the backseat. The suspect left on foot before officers arrived after the victim called police and a K9 track failed to find him. The case was forwarded to Renton prosecutors.
Man jailed for stealing Hawks decal An 18-year-old Seattle man insisted he didn’t steal anything but Walmart security video showed him putting a Seahawks window decal in a pocket. He was stopped outside the store on Rainier Avenue at about 9 p.m. April 7, but resisted because he didn’t know why the men, who had identified themselves as store security, stopped him. Two of the security officers suffered minor injuries during the fight, which was described as “intense and violent.” He was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of second-degree robbery.

Kentridge team among those competing in auto skills event at RTC
[ statue from page 1] Patty Raphael was the creative genius behind the trips to the sculpture, her friends said. She has since died, but her friends kept up the tradition of visiting the sculpture. By 1998, the activity turned to dressing the sculpture of the three walkers in clothes to celebrate whatever holiday it was: Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Apple Cup, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter and others. “We did it really simple with what we started with, but gradually it was just garage sales and that sort of thing,” said Halstead. Eventually, the women decided to take turns hosting the visits to “Interface,” and they parceled out the different costumes to store at each of their homes. After the missions to the park, the women meet for breakfast at Tommy’s Cafe in Renton. Some, because of age, can’t make it down to Coulon for the dressing, which happens even in inclement weather, but everyone tries to make it to Tommy’s. If you don’t make it to Tommy’s, you get talked about, said one group member, laughing. “To me, the interesting thing is how the West Hill and the East Hill, how they mesh because you don’t
know people from the other hill often,” said Mary Jo Primlani, group member. Primlani was picked to be in the group because she was walking near the sculpture dressers and they needed someone tall to put the hats on “Interface.” The group has been added to over the years by instances like that or members bringing in new helpers. “We may have brought somebody with us and got the group a little bit bigger, but…it’s like two different cities that kind of came together in the park,” she said. The Coulon Park Walkers don’t call themselves a secret society, but say the activity is just something they do. The group even has the unofficial endorsement of Mayor Denis Law, who is a friend of a friend of one of
the group members. Although no one has complained, most of the ladies in the group wanted to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation. Their mission is always the same: go down to the park, get in, get out and hope nobody walked by to see you. “It’s the mystique: suddenly they’re dressed!” said Halstead. It may not be completely sanctioned, but officials look the other way because it’s fun. “We have had a very thoughtful group who have dressed the art in Coulon to fit many celebrations,” said Terry Higashiyama, Renton Community Service administrator. “The visitors at the park love it and look forward to seeing the costumes.”
Twenty high school students from across Washington, including a team from Kentridge High School, will compete in the State Finals Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills competition for thousands of dollars worth of scholarships and a chance to advance to the National Finals. The state competition will be held at Renton Technical College, 3000 N.E. Fourth Ave., Automotive Quad (building K), from 10 to 11:30 a.m. May 6 with an awards ceremony directly following.
The Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills competition is targeted to support students looking to jumpstart a career as an automotive service technician. The winning two-student team will advance to represent Washington state at the national finals at Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., June 8-10. Each two-student team will race each other and the clock to correctly identify and repair “bugs” installed in identical 2014 Ford Fiesta vehicles. Qualifying teams were selected based on their scores in the online exam which tests overall automotive knowledge. The team with the highest combined score from the hands-on competition and written exam will win.

Write down your stories for posterity before it’s too late Jaris English
THE CREATIVE SIDE
All of us have stories to tell about our lives. And many of us regret that we didn’t ask our parents and grandparents more questions about their personal stories. Eventually it’s too late. When I lived in California, I took several memoir-writing classes at the senior center. We would each bring in a short memoir to read out loud. One of my classmates was a World War II veteran. He was disabled from a leg wound he sustained in battle, but every week, he would stand and read a few more pages about his experiences. He planned to put them all together in book form for his grown children. When I was very young, I saw World War I veterans marching in the Memorial
Day parade. Today, I am surprised how old the Vietnam veterans look! There was also a woman in class who had been a child in Nazi Germany, another one who grew up in China and someone who fled with her family from the dust bowl of Oklahoma during the 1930s. A special bond happens between people in a group like this from sharing these very personal memories. We laughed and we cried with each other. Often something that one person remembers resonates with others. There are common memories of ice delivery trucks, playing kick-the-can, catching fireflies, being poor and losing someone in the family. I am now in a group called “Write for Fun” that meets on Mondays at the Renton Senior Center. The facilitator, Betty McClain, is also a dance instructor at the center. The group is growing and I am glad to have found it. It gives me the inspiration

Thursday, May 1, 2014 McKnight Middle School Commons Area 1200 Edmonds Ave NE Renton, WA 98056 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
The Write For Fun group meets at the Renton Senior Activity Center. Jaris English, For the Renton Reporter to keep writing my own memoirs. I also enjoy hearing the stories of the citizens of Renton, such as 87-year-old Mert, who writes with great wit and vivid descriptions of his youth. He takes creative license with his tales, and tells us, “Most of my stuff is lies – I take a little from here and a little from there and put them together.” Seventy-seven-year-old George often relates amusing tales of his boyhood when living in an Irish Catholic neighborhood. His father was with the Barnum and Bailey Circus and was also the stunt man for Johnny Weissmuller in the old Tarzan movies. His wife Susan recently wrote a tribute to a good friend who had passed away. Joe, an 85-year-old Korean War veteran told us a story about his early involvement with a conservation club in Issaquah. Renton resident Barbara, from Hawaii, was conceived in Honolulu on the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. She has vivid memories of her own and those told by her predecessors who had to deal with the missionaries. Barb read an amazing poem she had written as a 7-year-old child in Chicago. Donna wrote about a Christmas tree that her family had cut down from the woods,
and of her mixed feelings about the beauty of the lighted tree along with her sadness that the tree had to die for her pleasure. Our facilitator, Betty also has fascinating adventures to share from her lifetime of experiences around the world in foreign cultures. They are often the simple things that we remember – maybe on one day some 60 years ago – a powerful moment in time that helped to make us who we are today. It is also about our connections to national and international times of trauma – financial depressions and wars and tragedies like President Kennedy’s assassination and more recently, the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. I really believe that everyone has several stories that should be passed on to future generations. We all remember a good friend from grade school, the sorrow of burying a pet, being bullied, our first television, our first kiss. Our memories are the most precious gifts we can leave for our children and grandchildren. Perhaps we all should start keeping a journal, from a very young age. There will be a creative writing class this summer through the Renton Community Center for youths ages 9 to 15.

PUBLICATION The State of Washington to the Defendant: YOU ARE HEREBY summoned to appear within 60 days after the date of the first publication of this Summons, to wit: Within sixty days after March 21, 2014, and defend the above entitled action in the above entitled Court, and answer the Complaint of Plaintiff, FIRST SAVINGS BANK NORTHWEST, and serve a copy of your Answer upon the undersigned attorneys for Plaintiff at their office below stated; and in case of your failure so to do, judgment will be rendered against you according to the demand of the Complaint, which has been filed with the Clerk of said Court. The object of the above entitled action is to collect monies due on a promissory note and to obtain a prejudgment writ of attachment on the real properties legally described in the Complaint attached hereto. NOTICE: State and federal law provide protections to defendants who are on active duty in the military service, and to their dependents. Dependents of a service member are the service member’s spouse, the service member’s minor child, or an individual for whom the service member provided more than onehalf of the individual’s support for one hundred eighty days immediately preceding an application for relief. One protection provided is the protection against the entry of a default judgment in certain circumstances.

If you fail to do so, then a court or an administrative tribunal may presume that you are not a dependent of an active duty member of the national guard or reserves, and proceed with the entry of an order of default and/or a default j udgment without further proof of your status.Your response to the plaintiff or plaintiff’s attorneys about your status does not constitute an appearance for jurisdictional purposes in any pending litigation nor a waiver of your rights.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Hazen soccer looking for ‘miracle’ after rough week By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
The Hazen boys soccer team on Tuesday picked up a win over Renton, but with three draws and a loss in the weeks prior, the two-time defending league champs have some ground to make up if they want to make the playoffs. “We have no choice but spend all our energy on making the playoffs,” said Hazen Coach Ken Matthews in a press release. “This was a key game to do that – but it was step one. Step two is Friday (against Highline).” Fielding his 12th lineup in 11 games, Matthews said the 5-0 score “shouldn’t fool anyone” as his team struggled to capitalize on chances in the first half. Sophomore midfielder Reyes Garcia buried an assist from Jorman Gonzalez at 18 minutes
into the first half to get Hazen on the board. Garcia got his second after the break on an assist from forward Isaiah Blount. Garcia also assisted on goals by Blount and midfielder Ethan Kem. Gonzalez scored the final goal on an assist from Cooper Cerna. “We were able to tweak what we were doing in the first half and, amazingly, the second half happened,” Matthews said. “The guys played well. We’ve been in a funk for a few games. We’ll find out soon enough if this is Hazen Soccer V.4.” Matthews said the team, currently in fourth place in the league, was “looking for a miracle” to make the postseason and will focus on beating Highline, who played the Highlanders to a 1-1 draw earlier this spring. “In the 3.5 years I have been with the boys, the second Highline game has decided who is going to the playoffs,” Matthews said. “None of them
have been easy; but they have been wins for us.” In 2011, Hazen and Highline tied for the final playoff spot. Hazen won the game on a late goal by Frankie Johnson. In 2012 it was Jalen Conway with what Matthews described as a “right-footright-time goal” with less than 35 seconds left. Last year, Hazen drew Highline in the first match and came back to win 5-1 in the second. “I guess we can hope for a similar results; I can’t tell you how important Friday’s game is to us getting to the playoffs,” said Matthews. Earlier this week, Hazen played to a 1-1 draw with Evergreen, with Gonzales getting the only Highlander goal in the 24th minute. In that game, Matthews said his team failed to capitalize on opportunities and racked up 15 offsides calls. The Highlanders are now 5-2-4 overall and 4-1-4 in the Seamount League. They play Highline Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.
Highlander pitchers combine to no-hit Renton By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Three Hazen pitchers combined to throw a no-hitter for the Highlanders Friday in an 11-0 five-inning victory over Renton at Hazen High School. Renton played as the home team as their field was rained out. Junior Eli Azcueta, junior Mitchell Hard, and freshman Alex Combs together tallied 14 strikeouts and walked two in completing the no-no. Renton committed four errors, resulting in seven unearned runs. Starting pitcher Azcueta held Renton hitless over two innings, striking out five and walking one. Freshman Alex Combs picked up the win after going one inning, walking one and striking out three. Junior Mitchell Hard finished the no-no going two innings and striking out all six batters he faced. Senior Isaiah Potter racked up two RBI, going 2-3 with

It’s a rebuilding year for the Renton Indians baseball squad this season as the young team has had trouble keeping opponents off the scoreboard. This week, Renton dropped shortened games to Hazen and Evergreen by scores of 11-0 and 14-0, respectively. Walks and errors have hurt the squad this year, said firstyear coach Chris Fedor, who did not have a single pitcher with varsity experience headed into this season. Against Evergreen on Monday, Renton gave up only four hits in the loss. The Indians are now 0-11 overall and 0-9 in the Seamount league. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter

four stolen bases and three runs. Senior J. Crosby went 3-4 with a RBI, a stolen base and two runs. Senior Zack Hill was 2-4 with one RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases. Senior Brooks Jacobs was 2-3 with a RBI. Freshman Drew Santana was 2-3 with a RBI. Aaron Martinez took the loss for Renton. Martinez went 4.2 innings, gave up 13 hits, 10 runs – only three of them earned – and struck out two. On Monday, Hazen lost a slugfest to the Foster Bulldogs by a score of 19-12. Foster put a run on the board in the first inning, but Hazen countered with one of their own and then put up five runs in the second and six in the third inning. But Foster came roaring back, picking up a run of their own in the third and exploding for seven runs in the fourth, three in the fifth, two in the sixth and five more in the final frame to seal the victory. Combs took the loss for the Highlanders. Hazen is now 5-6 overall and 5-3 in the Seamount League. Hazen was scheduled to play at Highline on Wednesday, home against Evergreen on Thursday and will take on Tacoma’s Stadium High School today, Friday, at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma.
Hazen girls, Renton boys and girls keep rolling with victories as well The Lindbergh boys track team topped the Hazen 74-58 this past week in a double dual meet that also saw Kenendy Catholic beat the Highlanders 89-47.

High School in Stockton, Calif. In spring 2012, about two months before she was set to graduate, she dropped out of school and moved to Washington with Navarro, according to an online story from the Record newspaper in Stockton. A fundraiser in memory of Leedy is planned for Friday in Tacoma. The “Show and Shine” fundraiser at 6 p.m. at Rock the Dock in Tacoma will raise awareness of domestic violence. Leedy’s uncle, Marcus Williams, and the Miss Behavin’ Car Club are hosting the memorial event at Rock the Dock, 535 Dock St., Tacoma. “Allison’s smile, love, and strength brought joy to everyone she encountered in life. Domestic violence is an ever growing problem in this country and has unfortunately taken the life of my beautiful niece. I hope that people will come out to show their support and to help raise awareness of the terrible tragedy of domestic violence,” Williams said. Community members are encouraged to bring their cars, trucks, and bikes to display at the event. Leedy’s family will ask for a $10 donation per vehicle. All proceeds will benefit the Allison Midori Leedy Memorial Fund to cover the cost of the memorial service. The family will also be collecting canned food, diapers, and wipes to donate to a local
