City moves step closer to new B&O tax A rate of 1 percent on businesses earning more than $5 million per year could generate $5.7 million BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Renton administration officials presented the City Council with a preliminary plan to add a business and operations tax in hopes of raising nearly $6 million in revenue the city says it needs to meet its budget in the future. Under the proposal, any business with gross receipts of more than $5 million annually would have to pay a 0.1 percent tax rate/ All governmental and non-profit business would be exempt. A three-year, $1,000 per employee tax credit for new businesses with more than 50 employees was also part of the package to ease the burden on new businesses. According to numbers provided by the City, the new tax would affect about 75 businesses within the city limits and should generate $5.7 million per year in revenue for

Burien and Poulsbo are next on the list for CVS. Wheeler said Renton was a great place to get a foothold in the region because of its proximity as a Seattle suburb and because its demographics make Renton “the type of town we have a lot of success in.” Wheeler also noted that like the diverse neighborhood in which it sits, employees at the new [ more CVS page 12 ]

STATE PARKS HOST ‘FREE DAY’ AUG. 25

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission wants the public to know that Monday, Aug. 25, is a state parks ‘free day.’ Day-use visitors will not need a Discover Pass to visit state parks. The ‘free day’ is in honor of the birthday of the National Park Service, which was established on Aug. 25, 1916. ‘Free days’ apply only to day use, not overnight stays or rented facilities. Washington State Parks will have two more ‘free days’ in 2014: Sept. 27, in recognition of National Public Lands Day, and Nov. 11, in honor of Veterans Day.

Housing authority breaks ground on new, lowincome senior apartments in Benson Hill area New 77-unit facility to open in 2015, but thousands of seniors still on waiting list for housing BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

The King County Housing Authority has broken ground on Vantage Point, a 77-unit apartment development for low-income seniors in Renton that will help ease the housing crisis for some senior citizens. The $18 million project is on land the housing authority owns next to the North Benson Shopping Center on the Benson Highway and next to its 164-household Vantage Glen community. With 72 one-bedroom and five two-bedroom apartments, Vantage Point is expected to become home for about 120 residents, including some younger than 55 who have qualifying disabilities. Vantage Point will open in late 2015 to new residents who are on the housing authority’s wait list for a place to live. The 2,700 seniors on that list have an average annual income of $11,400, or about $950 a month, which is less than the average monthly apartment rent in Renton. One-bedroom apartments at Vantage Point will rent for about $200 a month. “There is a growing crisis in affordable housing for seniors,” said Stephen Norman, executive director of the King County Housing Authority, the developer of Vantage Point senior apartments. By 2025, the region will need more than 10,000 additional units of affordable housing for low-income seniors, according to a study. A number of local, state and federal officials, including Renton City Council member Ed Prince and county Executive Dow Constantine,

U.S. Rep Adam Smith was among speakers who stressed the need for affordable senior housing Aug. 8 at the groundbreaking for the King County Housing Authority’s 77-unit Vantage Point apartment complex in Renton. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter

spoke at the event. U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, who represents Renton in Congress, led off the guest speakers at the Aug. 8 event. “We need a commitment at all levels of government and all levels of our community to make sure that we make affordable housing available to seniors. It’s not just going to happen,” he said, citing the expense of the region. He said Vantage Point is a “great example” of government commitment to senior housing. Financing for Vantage Point is coming from private funds, mostly in the form of federal

low-income housing tax credits, and public dollars, including $2 million from King County’s housing finance program. The Tukwila-based housing authority is contributing $5 million, including the cost of the land. Vantage Point will have two four-story woodframe wings connected by a central common space. To encourage socialization and physical activities, the development will include gathering spaces, outdoor activity spaces, gently graded walking paths and community gardens.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“This is a bad tax. But it’s the bad tax we are saddled with. “ Jay Covington, Renton’s chief administrative officer, on a proposed B&O tax

Call me ol’fogey, just don’t call me late for a haying I have officially become a fogey. How and when I slipped down that slope is a conundrum to me, but all the young reporters working for me have confirmed my fogeyness. I have hired young, talented and very smart reporters at the Courier-Herald and Covington Reporter. What was I thinking? I’m dumb and I hire brainy (palm hits my forehead). My drooling slide into ol’ fogeydom was gleefully pointed out to me last week when I told Mr. Ray Still (the new reporter in Bonney Lake) and Sarah Wehmann I planned to shoot a haying season shot for the front. I immediately began to think back to happy hay days on my family farm. Haying season was the hot time in the old town when I was young. I thought they would all be waiting on the edges of their chairs to hear my haying season tales of adventure. What follows is an accurate rendition of the dialogue between Sarah and I (with Ray secretly rooting her on) that has been carefully crosschecked with my imaginary friend (who always agrees with me). Sarah: “Is that a word?” Me: “Is what a word?” Sarah: “Hay? ing?” Me: “Haying? Sarah: “Did you make that up?” Me: “No, I didn’t make it up. (My most haughty voice) Do you know when I was a kid we never went to school in June because that was the beginning of haying season?” Sarah: “What is it?” Smash my forehead on my desk? twice. Me: “You know hay? Haying? In bales? Throw them around? Get all sticky and itchy? Look cool like that black-and-white movie where pretty girls sing songs and dance around with bouncy dresses and always want to kiss the guy who throws bales around and is sticky and itchy?” I got blank stares and sympathetic nods followed by knowing sidelong glances as if I don’t notice because I am petting my pink squirrel that talks and always agrees with me. Sarah smiled that smile and asked, “Did you take your medicine this week?” In desperation I call my crack reporter in Covington. Surely she will know about haying season. “What did you say?” “Haying season. Haying season? You know hay, season, bales? Haying season.” Long silence. “I had a friend who grew up on a cow farm. Does that help?” A cow farm? A stupid cow farm. I checked to see if I was drooling on my shirt, or if there was an incision on my head from a lobotomy I had forgotten about. A cow farm? Seriously. I politely told her the term is dairy farm, or beef farm? Not cow farm. Cow farm Dennis Box

OPINION

[4] August 15, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Frank Shiers sparks conversation, debate I completely disagree with Jerry Battisti’s opinion of Frank Shiers’ editorial cartoons in the Renton Reporter (Aug. 8, 2014). Frank does an excellent job of artistically creating images that reflect local events in our area. Readers may not all agree with every cartoon that he draws, but he is doing exactly what outstanding editorial cartoonists are expected to do: Produce cartoons that may not coincide with everyone’s opinion, but focus on various topics

for conversation and debate. I am one of the founders of Cartoonists Northwest and, since our beginning in 1981, our organization encourages cartoonists to express themselves through their artwork. We applaud those who are accomplished at this special type of art, and invite many professionals to share their successes with our group, in order to assist others in their personal quest.

They can post pictures with their phone in two seconds flat. My phone calls all sorts of people for no reason. It is the spawn of Satan.

The young women wunderkinds also consistently side with my daughter when she won’t let me choose her boyfriends, even though I am clearly the father who knows best (sounds like another cool TV show they never heard of...).

Ask a doctor: How does clinical depression differ from sadness?

What causes clinical depression? Depression results from an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. It is often a combination of factors in an individual that causes this imbalance. Some people have genes that put them at risk for depression (just as one may be genetically at risk to develop diabetes or high blood pressure) and may become depressed even when situations and circumstances in their life are good. Stressful circumstances in childhood and/or adulthood can also put one at risk of developing depression. Individuals with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes,

chronic pain and heart disease are at higher risk for developing depression. How is depression treated? Depression is typically treated with medications and/ or counseling. Medications aim to correct the imbalance of chemicals in the brain responsible for the depression. Counseling may include examining thought patterns that contribute to feeling depressed, gaining insight into factors in your life that play a role in the depression, learning coping strategies, changing behaviors or improving relationships. Is there anything I can do on my own to help with depression? Absolutely. For starters, get plenty of exercise. Regular aerobic exercise has been shown to help improve mood. It is also helpful to schedule one enjoyable activity into your days, even if you don’t feel like it. When depressed persons become isolated and inactive, that can only serve to worsen the depression. Believe it or not, light therapy, or sitting in front of a special fluorescent light box (10,000 Lux intensity) for about 30 minutes each morning has been shown to be helpful for seasonal depression. Meditation, good sleep habits and avoiding alcohol or drug abuse are also good methods of curbing episodes of depression. Adopt good sleep habits: Establish a relaxing routine before bedtime, have a regular schedule for going to bed and waking up, allow yourself a sufficient number of hours for sleep at night, and avoid excessive napping during the day. Where do I go for help? If efforts on your own to shake the feeling and symptoms are unsuccessful, see your primary care doctor or a mental health professional for further evaluation and

What is clinical depression and how does it differ from feeling sad? It is normal to have feelings of sadness in response to certain events or circumstances in your life. What differentiates “normal” from “clinical” is the severity and persistence of the depression, the presence of other associated symptoms, and interference of these symptoms in your ability to function in your day-to-day activities. By definition, a “major depressive episode” lasts at least two weeks and can include any of the following symptoms: • Depressed mood; • Loss of interest in activities that are normally enjoyable for you; • Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much; • Loss of appetite or eating too much; • Difficulty concentrating; • Feeling tired, feeling anxious or restless; or • Having thoughts of death or suicide. Some people don’t feel sad, per se, but rather may feel angry, irritable or apathetic. In severe depression people can sometimes have unusual experiences such as hearing voices or seeing strange things (hallucinations).

10 applications for the position. “In late March and early April, KCLS hosted staff and public meetings and also conducted an online survey to gather input on desired characteristics for the next director,” Maria Hatcher, communications director, wrote in an email. About 125 people attended the meetings and another 837 people participated in the online survey, according to Hatcher. The ideal candidate is to be a communicator, community builder, visionary leader and an administrator. KCLS serves a population service area of 1.3 million and has an operating budget of $109 million. It includes a staff of 780 full-time employees. There are 48 community

libraries and 12 Library2Go vehicles in the system. The previous director, Bill Ptacek, had a salary of $165,471 and Hatcher said KCLS will offer a competitive salary commensurate with the qualifications of the selected candidate. Ptacek served as director of KCLS since 1989 and resigned last year to take over as CEO of the Calgary Public Library system in Alberta, Canada. “In October, the search committee will recommend its top-tier candidates to the Board of Trustees for the final interview phase,” said Hatcher. “The final phase will include opportunities for staff, key stakeholders and the public to learn about the candidates prior

to final selection by the Board.” In Renton, three KCLS projects continue to take shape. The downtown Renton library is still under construction, with no delays. The project is one month into a year-long construction schedule. There is no firm date on the opening. The construction bid for the Highlands Library has been awarded to contractor CE&C, the same contractor doing the downtown location. That contract is being developed. The Fairwood Library in unincorporated King County is also still under construction, with an opening anticipated for Nov. 1.

Choosing poor-quality vinyl windows is a mistake.

Our Fibrex® material is

2X STRONGER THAN VINYL

Choosing the proper window material is everything. Even in moderate temperature swings, poor-quality vinyl windows can warp, lose whatever energy efficiency they once had, and invite drafts and leaks. Significant home improvements are supposed to last, but can you imagine the expense and frustration of replacing your windows a second time, after just a couple of years? We custom-build our windows from our own patented Fibrex® material. Fibrex® is a patented wood composite that has the rich, elegant look and feel of finely crafted wood windows without the maintenance. Why did we make our Fibrex® material twice as strong as vinyl? To serve homeowners who only want to replace their windows once.

Renton dancer in national ad Is that a local resident you just spotted in that national Staples back-to-school ad? Why yes it is. It’s Michaela Boere of Renton, now a dancer and student at Central Washington University. Boere is the captain of the CWU Dance Team and one of eight CWU dancers featured in Staples national TV commercial, which airs nationwide. After winning a video contest, Boere and the dancers earned their four seconds of fame and $1,000.

The group was one of three groups chosen out of 118 applicants. “We were asked to put our own spin on the original dance move called the shopping cart and we choreographed our own routine to their song selection,” said Boere, who’s studying business management and organization at CWU in Ellensburg. The team’s portion of the commercial was shot at the Wildcat Shop in the Student Union and Recreation Center on campus and the dancers are wearing CWU gear.

The CWU Dance Team, which will begin the 201415 academic year with 22 members, performs at CWU athletic events and Michaela Boere homecoming activities and at events in the Ellensburg community. The dancers focus on jazz and hiphop styles, while also incorporating pom and kick. Watch the 15-second spot here http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7RMe/staples-ladies-song-by-d-boyz.

Simple Cremation Direct Burial

August 15, 2014 [9]

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

You look a little stressed out, Renton. At least, that’s what the website Credit Donkey says, ranking our fair city as the sixth most-stressed city in the state of Washington. The most-stressed city, according to the site, is Bremerton, which has a high crime rate, low household income and high cost of housing.

But according to the site, which bills itself as a credit-card comparison site, what really adds to our stress here in Renton is not the crime or the rent, but the traffic. To come up with its list, Credit Donkey used five criteria: odds of being a victim of violent crime; commute time; average work hours per week, percentage of divorcees and percentage of income spent on housing. According to its results, the odds of being a victim of violent crime are a “relatively low” 1 in 331 inhabitants, while rent in the city is “quite low” with residents spending an average of 25.4 percent on housing. But we in Renton spend an average of 28.8 minutes commuting to work in the morning, upping our stress levels.

According to the site, the top 10 most stressed cities in Washington are: 10. Burien 9. Federal Way 8. Auburn 7. Lake Stevens 6. Renton 5. Marysville 4. Tacoma 3. Lake Stevens 2. Everett 1. Bremerton To comment on this story view it online at www.rentonreporter.com. Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050.

city coffers. According to previous reports from Administrative Service Administrator Iwen Wang, if the council does not make any changes to the city’s revenue streams, the city will face a $3.3 million budget deficit in 2016. Because of several years worth of cuts to the city budget and staff that have already been made, Wang told the council that any further cuts would lead to “visible impact to service levels.” In order to balance the budget in recent years, the city has cut a total of $28.7 million out of its budget since 2008. In the 2013-2014 biennium, the cuts totaled $7.7 million. In April, the council authorized staff to look into saving money through a change from a city fire department to a fire authority district and to continue investigating the option of a B&O tax. In June, the council directed staff to develop legislation to go into effect Jan. 1. Since then, the city has been meeting with stakeholders and working on the proposal, which City Administrator Jay Covington admitted is “universally disliked” but said the city is “trying to plug a hole” in the budget.

“This is a bad tax,” he said Monday. “Unfortunately, it is the bad tax we are saddled with.” Covington went on to say that the city is working with the Chamber of Commerce and other businesses to find the “least worst way to implement this tax.” He also said discussions with the business community have shown that they like the level of service being provided by the city and understand the need for new revenue. Most other local cities have some form of B&O tax. According to the city, Renton is the only city of its size in the county that does not have one in place. According to the city’s numbers, Bellevue generates $27 million a year by taxing all businesses with gross receipts of more than $155,000 at a rate of 0.1496. Kent collects $5 million to $7 million per year with a 0.046 percent tax on manufacturing, retail, printing and processing for hire businesses and a 0.152 percent tax on everything else. Among the exemptions the city is proposing, all governmental and non-profits from the tax, which according to Weng constitutes about 25-30 percent of employers in the city. Chamber president Lynn Wallace reiterated the general opposition to the new tax.

Become a volunteer naturalist on the Cedar River and learn about one of the world’s wildlife migrations that runs through the heart of Seattle, Renton and on up into Maple Valley. Naturalists will receive 20 hours of training from fish, interpretative and watershed experts and in return spend three weekend days making riverside presentations to the public about the Cedar River and its salmon. Training is scheduled for three weekday evenings (Sept. 11, 18 and 25) and two weekend days (Sept. 13 and Sept. 27). Training sessions prepare volunteers to talk about the human and natural history of the Cedar River, the Cedar River Watershed, salmon ecology, and what we can do to help salmon. Most of the trainings are held in the Renton area, with one training at the Seattle Aquarium. Once trained, volunteers commit to work in teams at one of four sites on the Cedar for three of the eight “on duty” days during October weekends. Contact Dani Kendall at 206.7925851 or at dani@cedarriver.org to sign up. Training starts September 11, 2014. For more info, visit www. cedarriver.org.

“The business community doesn’t like the B&O tax,” she said Monday, but added that her members were appreciative that the city reached out to them. “The process has been very open,” she said. Wallace said the business community recognizes that the services the city provides and the quality of life in Renton are an attraction to other new business and “We want to keep that.” However, Wallace said her members would like the city to find a way to balance the books without placing the entire burden on the business community. Among the suggestion the city received from businesses was to lower the reporting burden from $5 million in gross receipts to $1 million to more evenly spread the tax among local businesses, as well as consider adding other revenue options, such as car tabs, so both residents and businesses would contribute. Council members were cautious regarding the possibility of a new tax The outreach continued this week with a pair of Chamber of Commerce forums on Wednesday. As of now, the plan is to present the next biennial budget to the council on Oct. 6, with a public hearing scheduled for Oct. 20. The council is expected to vote on the budget and a possible B&O tax on Nov. 3.

Valley Medical among ‘most wired’ hospitals in country STAFF REPORTS

This year, some programs that Valley scored highest in were: • Communicating with patients via social media: According to Symonds, Valley is using YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to connect with patients and improve access to care.

Valley Medical Center has again been named among the nation’s “Most Wired” hospitals, according to Health Care’s “Most Wired” 2014 survey released in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks, a publication of the American Hospital Association. This year marks the 16th annual edition of Health Care’s Most Wired survey. In that time, hospitals and health care systems have made great strides in establishing the basic building blocks for creating robust clinical information systems aimed at improving patient care. This includes adopting technologies to improve patient documentation, advance clinical decision support and evidence-based protocols, reduce the likelihood of medication errors, and rapidly restore access to data in the case of a disaster or outage. This is the second year in a row that Valley has earned this honor. “At Valley Medical Center, we view information technology as a vital component to providing effective patient care,” Wayne Manuel, vice president of information technology and chief information officer at Valley Medical Center, said in a press release. “Every year that we receive this designation is truly an honor, and a testament to the work our team conducts each day to ensure our patients have access to current, state of the art care. Whether it be through electronic medical records, implementation of MyChart,

using social media to respond to patient feedback and concerns in real time. • Firewall, security and data encryption Symonds said compared to health organizations nationwide Valley is using industry-leading firewall and encryption tools to ensure patient information stays protected and safe. • Patient portals / MyChart As the hospital rolled out its electronic medical records and the MyChart platform, patients have continued to have improved access to care. Through MyChart, patients can communicate directly with their providers, review lab results, request prescription refills, manage their appointments, and more closely manage their care online, according to Symonds. Looking to the future, Symonds said Valley is focused on continuing to build out the patient portals and MyChart to help patients have more access to managing their care online. “The Most Wired data show that shared health information allows clinicians and patients to have the information they need to promote health and make the most informed decisions about treatments,” said Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association in a press release. “Hospitals, their clinicians and their communities are doing tremendous work to enhance their IT systems in ways that support care and delivery improvement, and patient engagement goals.” [ more WIRED page 14 ]

Renton store speak a total of 15 different languages. “It speaks to the diversity of the neighborhood,” Wheeler said. The new store is also the first CVS in the nation not to sell tobacco products. Wheeler said it was a “hard decision” to begin removing a product that accounts for $2 billion in sales nationally, but said the company decided that tobacco products have no place in a store dedicated to helping keep people healthy. Other stores in the chain will begin removing tobacco products, but the Renton store is the first to open without any in stock. In addition to the opening, CVS donated a check for $10,000 to Renton’s Community Activity Nutrition Network to be used in the development of a new community garden in the Benson neighborhood. Economic Development Director Cliff Long said the opening speaks very highly of the city that CVS choose this location for its first store in the market. “This is a great thing for Renton,” he said, adding that the project was also a beautiful piece of redevelopment for the neighborhood, including a pedestrian plaza at the corner in front of the store. “I think it’s going to be a great addition to this particular neighborhood,” he said. Chamber of Commerce Director Lynn Wallace agreed, adding that Renton is now home to the region’s only IKEA, only Fry’s Electronics and now its only CVS, as well as being the home of the Boeing 737. “It shows real encouragement for our regional spotlight,” she said. The new store will employ about 30 people. During remarks at the grand opening, Mayor

BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter Denis Law welcomed CVS to town and said the store is already a “big home run” with residents in the neighborhood, but noted that Wheeler’s description of Renton as a Seattle suburb wasn’t quite accurate. “Seattle is really a suburb of Renton,” Law joked, welcoming the store to the city.

It’s August, the best time of year to bait for slugs and snails seed? B.P.

The middle of August is the best time to bait for slugs. Dry weather may mean you don’t see these slimy creatures but all the slug eggs that were laid earlier in the summer will begin to hatch as soon as the nights grow longer. Baiting for slugs and snails in August will keep the population under control for the fall gardening season. New slug baits are pet and vegetable safe so invest in slug control now. August is also a good time of year to dig, divide or transplant early summer perennials like iris, poppies and pulmonaria or lungwart. Do not move peonies or shrubs until fall when the weather cools and the rain returns. Raspberry plants that gave fruit in June will have yellow canes this month and these can be cut all the way to the ground. Everbearing raspberries still giving fruit can be harvested until they stop producing berries and then cut back the oldest canes by one half.

Dill is a great herb because it is easy to grow and both the foliage and seeds are great for flavoring food. To harvest the seed cut the flower umbels or clusters when the oldest seeds in the bottom of the cluster start to turn black. Place the entire seed head in a shoe box and store in a cool, dry spot. In a few weeks you can shake the ripe seed onto paper and then pour the seed into a glass container with a tight fitting lid for storage.

I am growing several types of basil. One has beautiful purple blooms. Must I clip off the flowers of the basil plant to keep the leaves coming? H., Email You can remove half the basil blooms and enjoy the purple majesty of the other half but if you allow your basil to flower in late summer it will take a vacation from making new foliage and your fresh supply of basil will dwindle. Keep your basil plants well watered and fertilized in hot weather and you can be enjoying new foliage and making pesto until the first frost.

My neighbor told me not to fertilize my roses in August or they will die in the winter. Is this advice true or false? Anon

I am growing dill plants and want to store the seeds for winter use. How does one harvest and store dill

“once and done” roses this month so they can slip into winter dormancy with ease. Roses are thirsty plants and they will attract more disease and insects if you allow the roots to dry out.

False. Feeding roses late in the summer will not cause them to die but it can make them more susceptible to an early frost because feeding promotes tender new growth. To keep your roses in bloom all autumn you should continue to dead head or remove the faded flowers from hybrid tea roses and other varieties that are repeat bloomers. Some roses such as climbers, species and old fashioned varieties only bloom once in the summer. These will not rebloom no matter what you do so don’t feed the

What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say? “I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain.

Luther’s Table to host 5K on Sept. 20 BY TRACEY COMPTON

tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Luther’s Table will hold a 2014 Back to School 5k Fun Run and Walk, Sept. 20. The event starts at 9 a.m. at Renton’s Memorial Stadium. This event for all ages is to raise money for Luther’s Table and its non-profit partner for the year, Communities in Schools of Renton. Registration is $30 for adults, $20 for students, with a valid ID, and $10 for children 12 and under. Once participants make it 12 times around the track, they can wander over to the nonprofit fair before heading over to Luther’s Table for the after party. Prizes will be given out for the best time and for those who bring the most school spirit. The restaurant itself has been undergoing some redevelopment. It is closed until 10 a.m., Aug. 18 when it will re-open as “a community gathering space in downtown Renton espousing the arts, service to others, and meaningful conversation,” its website states. After six months of rethinking the concept, management decided to re-open Luther’s Table as a coffee shop and bar in order to allow the larger organization to better live out its mission. The restaurant will still feature vendors like Molly’s, The Essential Baking Company and Little Rae’s Bakery. The redesign is to help the company, which is a mission start of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, better focus its energies on building great programs. They hope to host theatre readings, documentary film series, art classes, beer and wine tastings, community forums, student study nights, lecture series and live music.

Car stolen at gunpoint The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

A 29-year-old Renton man met Kevin and they agreed to hang out and play some hoops. But first they had to pick up Kevin’s cousin. Kevin went inside a drugstore on Rainier Avenue on Aug. 2 to get something to drink. He came outside with another man. The second man told the victim, “Why don’t you get out of the car.” The victim heard a gun being racked; he saw Kevin holding a black handgun. The two demanded his wallet and drove off. The victim was driving his girlfriend’s Mercedes Benz, so he called her from a restaurant. He noticed a silver Audi circling the parking lot. Three men came into the restaurant, including the “cousin,” who told the victim something like what he did to his sister wasn’t right. He didn’t know anyone by the sister’s name. He told them, “You got my car, just go.” A stolen-vehicle report was filled out for the Mercedes. HE TAKES ON OFFICERS: The inebriated Renton man went too far when he balled his fists and got right up in a Renton officer’s private space. The 45-year-old had just been expelled from Piazza Park in downtown Renton at about 8 p.m. Aug. 1 after officers found a bottle of vodka next to him. He was cited and told he was free to go. But he continued to tell officers he was going to “beat your asses.” He had plenty of ways from the park without going through an officer but chose not to. An officer watched as the suspect entered the “private space” of another officer, going “toe to toe.” He pulled out his Taser but the other

officer used a leg sweep to take the man to the ground, where he was handcuffed. The Renton man suffered some abrasions to his right knee and chin. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for obstructing an officer. On the way to the jail in Des Moines, he said, repeatedly, “You wanna get beat upside the head by a two-by-four?” SUCKER PUNCHED: A man was sucker punched Aug. 4 as he walked in a drunken state to catch a bus at the Metro Transit Center. The 23-year-old Renton man told an officer while he was being treated at Valley Medical Center that a man about 20 years old punched him in the face for no apparent reason. He didn’t try to steal anything from the victim. NOISY NEIGHBOR: A neighbor of a tavern on Airport Way called 911 at about 10 p.m. Aug. 2 to report the sound of multiple motorcycles revving their engines in the parking lot. The officer learned on the way there that several men were yelling. But the officer found the motorcyclists were talking in a friendly manner and their engines were off. The officer told security inside the tavern and club leaders to keep the noise down while in the parking lot. TEEN GETS DRUG OFF STREET: A Renton teen brought home a plastic bag filled with a white powdery substance she found Aug. 5 in a store parking lot on Renton Center Way because didn’t want children to get ahold of it. An officer picked up the bag at her home. The substance was placed into evidence for destruction. CELLPHONE STOLEN: Surveillance cameras captured a man picking up a cell phone the rightful owner had left behind at checkout at Walmart on Rainier Avenue July 29. The owner didn’t realize the Galaxy S3 was missing until he arrived home. The suspect walked out with his family without trying to turn the phone into lost and found or to store management.

LIQUOR DROPPED: A woman walked through the liquor aisles at Safeway on Northeast Sunset Boulevard July 31, placing several bottles into a shopping basket. She walked to the back of the store and put the bottles into several shopping bags, all the while being watched by a store security officer. She then left the store without paying for the liquor. When she was confronted by the security officer, she dropped the bags and fled.

“We feel a lot of the hesitation from some of the golfers was the not-knowing factor,” Orr said. But rarely do golfers and footgolfers meet on the course. Footgolf is played only on Saturday and Sunday, with a start time of 3:30 p.m. The last golfer tees off at 2:30 p.m., so there may be some overlap, Orr said. The first public rounds of footgolf were played in early June. In the first five weeks, more than 320 rounds were played. “We are very happy with that,” Orr said. That number was expected to double in the following four weeks. The footgolf course hosted more than 100 players in a tournament Aug. 2 put on by superfans of Sounder soccer, the Emerald City Supporters. Afterward, they gathered to watch the Sounder’s game in the clubhouse. For Orr, footgolf is the melding of his two favorite sports. “It’s a blast,” he said. He’s the driving force behind footgolf in Tukwila and hopes it takes off. And he hopes eventually to see some of those footgolfers try golf too. “We felt it was another way to make that connection, to say, ‘Come down here, see what we have,’” he said. “It’s another thing that Tukwila Parks and Rec has to offer, what your tax dollars go to work for.” COST TO PLAY: $18, including tax.

• ACCOUNTABILITY

COMMUNITY We make a difference in the neighborhoods and communities that we serve.

by Dan Kellogg

“Beneficiary Deeds” (or “Transfer on Death Deeds”) will soon be available. They will be helpful to clients with small estates that hold real estate as the only asset that will require probate. With a Beneficiary Deed, the parent can deed real estate to their children (or other beneficiary) during their lifetime. The deed can be revoked until the death of the parent. If not revoked, the deed becomes effective at the death of the parent to vest ownership in the children - - - thus avoiding the need for probate for the real estate. Please contact our office to check out this new strategy. I have more than 40 years of experience providing thoughtful and comprehensive counsel for clients. Please call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment. Committed to you and the community.
