Inside a Renton collective garden Local medical-marijuana providers urge increased state regulation but worry what a potential citywide ban could mean for their patients and business BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
While the products in the back may have names like “Casey Jones,” “diesel,” “blueberry kush” and “bubble gum,” make no mistake about it, for the providers and the clients at Tranquility Holistic Center on South Third Street, this is serious medicine. Manager Steven Hinch can tell you exactly which of the marijuana products will best alleviate your symptoms, based on the spectrometry profile of the marijuana, which reveals which cannabinoids – the chemical compounds in marijuana that react with the body – are present in the plant and therefore tell Hinch how that particular strain will affect a patient.
“Each cannabinoid has a very specific effect,” he said, noting that all of the marijuana at Tranquility is screened. For example, Hinch said there is a specific cannabinoid that helps relieve the pressure on the eyes caused by glaucoma. Some strains contain more than others and some strains contain more of the cannabinoids that get you “high.” And for many patients, Hinch said the important thing is not the buzz but the medicinal effects. That is, after all, why they are there. “Getting high is not going to help them,” he said. It’s exactly because of that knowledge of the product and the medicine and how it will affect the patients that Hinch and co-manager Ted Warren are worried about losing if the Renton City Council
opts to ban medicinal marijuana within city limits, something it appears poised to do next month when the present moratorium on the business ends. It is also why Hinch and Warren both want to see greater regulation on the state level, to not only legitimize their business but also to provide patients with the kind of information and safety testing that can protect them from bad actors in the industry just looking to sell pot and not necessarily as only medicine. “We’re not mindless stoners, like a majority of the people might think,” Warren said. Warren is not only the manager at Tranquility but also a patient. Warren is fighting leukemia and says the mari[ more GARDENS page 19 ]

Renton family building a chili cook-off dynasty Members of the Pluntze family finished first, seventh, eighth and ninth in this summer’s state championship BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Two generations of Renton chili cookers are sweeping the state competition and don’t show any signs of cooling off. Fourteen-year-old Maddie Pluntze won the State Chili Championship in Olympia earlier this month. Her 7-year-old sister, Sophie, took home seventh place, while their grandparents, Larry and Barbara Gholston, placed ninth and eighth respectively. “Maddie cooked against seasoned (cooks), years and years of experience and they’re all quite impressed that a little 14-year-old was coming in beating them after five years of cooking,” said Janet Pluntze, her mother. Maddie put her chili up against 10 other pots in the homestyle category and the “Texas Red” or Chili Appreciation Society International category. This is the second year

New middle school construction continues Elsewhere in the district, on the site of the old Hazelwood Elementary School, a new middle school is being constructed. The Renton Academy was recently moved from the former Hazelwood Elementary as the district prepares to house it in the old Spring Glen School beginning this September. This will be the district’s fourth middle school and is the result of an April 2012 bond measure, which also includes improvements to many other schools in the district. Grades 6th through 8th will open in fall of 2016. Demolition of the old school is set to begin soon.

of the recipe and then you are tasting each time,” said Janet. “There’s no set recipe, but they have a process they go through to make the chili and Maddie has a few secret ingredients that she uses.” In the two categories, homestyle means anything goes. There can be beans, pasta, meat, vegetables whatever the cook chooses. In the “Texas Red” or CASI category it’s
just meat and sauce. Maddie won in both categories at state. “My sister’s a really good cook,” Sophie chimes in. Their grandparents have been competing in chili cook-offs for a number of years and got involved with CASI because of the camaraderie. “We like to socialize and to meet new people,” said Larry. “And we got into (CASI) originally for the fundraising for charities...” “So our grandkids are outplacing us, which is what you want as they progress and learn how to cook and get their own recipes going,” he said. “What better reward could we have than have them beat us in placing?” The family members also use their cooking expertise for good, having fed first responders recently in Oso. They cooked chili for about 500 people near Darrington, they said. “It was a great experience for the girls to just be aware that there are people not as fortunate, who’ve had hard times,” said their mother. “And we cooked for them they were very appreciative and we all had a wonderful time.” This weekend the family will be feeding about 1,000 people at the Feed the Troops event in Poulsbo.

Supporters rally on first anniversary of Renton woman’s imprisonment On the first anniversary of her imprisonment in Mexico, family and supporters of Nestora Salgado held a rally in front of the Mexican Consulate in Seattle, calling for her release. Salgado, a Renton resident and naturalized U.S. citizen, was elected to lead a community police force in her hometown of Olinala, Mexico, when local authorities in the poor, violent region known for crime and corruption charged her with kidnapping and sent her to a federal prison. Salgado was elected leader of a legally sanctioned civilian police force that defended the community
from drug cartels and corrupt public officials. In performing her duties, Salgado angered local officials who seized her on trumped-up charges. A Mexican federal judge struck down the charges against her and called for her release last March, but the state Nestora Salgado courts have ignored the federal mandate and she is still behind bars. “A year ago a nightmare began for my family, a nightmare that hasn’t ended,” said Salgado’s daughter
Grisel Rodriguez, who has not seen her mother since she left for Mexico last summer. Rodriguez said that after nearly a year, her mother this month was able to speak to a lawyer for the first time, following pressure from the United States government. “This goes to show what public pressure can accomplish,” Rodriguez said. Rep. Adam Smith, King County Couniclman Larry Gossett and the Renton City Council have all taken up Salgado’s cause. Gossett, who attended Thursday’s rally – one of several around the nation and the world calling for Salgado’s release – called Salgado “our homegirl” because of her ties to the

Girls raising money to help the people they can’t forget Fundraiser scheduled this weekend to raise money for school in poverty-stricken Haiti BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com
When Kelly Apperson and Linet Madeja go on their third trip to Haiti together later this year, they hope to go with a sizable donation. Apperson, who graduated from Tahoma High in 2009, and Madeja, who graduated from Renton High the same year, met their sophomore year at Seattle Pacific University when they were assigned to the same missions team that was bound for Haiti. “I’ve always had a desire to serve abroad, especially medically based, and the opportunity came about and Haiti was one that struck me,” Apperson said. “Ever since going, my heart’s been stuck there. Can’t shake it.” On that first trip, the two women joined a group of their classmates who served with Foundation for Peace, a nonprofit based in New Jersey that does
work in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. “That was my first choice of places to go because of the recent earthquake,” Madeja said, referencing the 2010 earthquake that caused extensive damage throughout the country. On that trip the team’s goal was to help build a school. “Most of our first trip was building the foundation for the school,” Apperson said. “I remember before we left for the first trip they were about to put up an LA Fitness. We went to a trip, built the foundation, came back and the LA Fitness was almost already up. I remember feeling so discouraged at the time… I look back and I’m thankful for that because we were able to build community and friendships with the Haitians and work hand in had with them.” Today, Madeja said, that school teaches English to more than 800 students. “To me that was my first time just seeing poverty in real time and in person,” Madeja said. “I think it’s a lot different when you read about poverty or see it on TV — it’s a different story.” Apperson and Madeja returned home after the trip and were able to stay connected
to their new friends in Haiti through social media. “The organization really recognizes cultivating relationships in communities,” Madeja said. Through staying in touch, both she and Apperson were able to keep abreast of the school and students’ needs. The pair graduated from SPU in 2013 and decided that they wanted to go back to Haiti again. “We both stuck together and brainstormed how we could help,” Apperson said. “We just wanted to see the end product even if it takes 10 years.” That second trip happened in February, with Apperson and Madeja going to Haiti with the founders of Foundation for Peace. The goal of the trip was to visit different villages and assess the needs of the people in those villages. The school has so many students these days that a second story is being added on to the building. Seeing that specific need, the friends knew that they wanted to do more. “We actually visited the school when classes were in session so we were able to go and speak to the students,” Madeja said of the second trip. “That entire experience to me was amazing, to see so many students there to learn
Seattle Pacific University students work at the school site in Haiti in 2011, passing buckets of rocks for the school’s foundation. SUBMITTED English. Students travel from all over.” With a third trip on the calendar for later this year, Apperson and Madeja decided that they wanted to raise funds to help with the completion of the second story. To that end, the girls decided to work together with Calvary Baptist Church in the Renton Highlands to host a yard sale on Aug. 30 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. across the street from the church,
with the proceeds from the sale going toward the school project. “When you are really passionate about it (a cause) and you want to see God’s work glorified, and people come alongside for it, that’s the best thing,” Madeja said. “It’s going to people who really need it and to me that matters the most. I know not everyone believes in God, but even just as human beings, (our job) is to love our neighbors and do it out of love.”

We’re energized to start new school year in Renton In the Renton School District, we have an unwavering commitment to each and every student and a clear vision for quality instruction. We also know education goes well beyond the classroom. We honor and embrace the rich diversity of our families and communities, which provides us all with so many opportunities to learn from each other. We believe that all of our students can learn at high levels and we value enriched learning opportunities that embrace the whole child: academically, socially and emotionally. Renton teachers and support staff are focused on providing high quality, standards-based instruction for every child, every day in every classroom and environment. In addition to academics, we support our students in developing 21st century skills of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity and civic engagement. We take seriously our work to prepare students for the world in which they will live, learn and work. Our teachers, principals and support staff have been working very hard over the summer months to prepare for the 2014-2015 school year. We continue to align our curriculum, assessments and classroom instruction to the Common Core, preparing students to be successful in college, career and life after graduation. Thanks to voter support of the technology levy, teachers and principals have been learning new software to help them manage student classwork, tests, grades and homework. These professionals have also committed personal time this summer in their ongoing commitment to continuously improve their craft as educators. Additionally, our school custodians, district maintenance staff and so many other support staff have been working hard to prepare safe, clean, well-run environments to learn. Education is an investment in the future of our students, our families and our communities. We are fortunate to live in a community that values public education and shares a willingness to support schools that help our students reach their full potential. We join together, as a learning community, energized and prepared to start the new school year, and continue the important work of educating all students, every day, in every classroom in the Renton School District.
Renton School Supt. Merri Rieger can be reached via email at merri.rieger@ rentonschools.us.
Renton community steps up to help pay for quality education September is here, and so too is a new school year. More than 14,000 children will soon walk through the doors of a Renton elementary, middle or high school, hoping for the best education money can buy. Unfortunately, having enough money to provide that education or to support our students remains a challenge. The good news is that with the improving economy, the Renton School District won’t have to cut its budget this coming year. But the budget is tight, and our students and teachers will still need help. Fortunately, Renton is a supportive community. In the eight-plus years that I’ve been with the Renton Community Foundation, we have made countless grants to the school district through various funds to help with everything from classroom supplies to special projects. For instance, RCF was instrumental in helping to launch the Friends of Renton Schools Fund, which has donated more than $800,000 in the last four years to the school district to support academic achievement, music enrichment and STEM programs. Through our O.J. Harper Engineering Children’s Needs Fund, we have made grants to buy math calculators and math supplies for various classrooms, as well as support the Renton Teacher Academy. Last year, the Randy Rockhill Student Instrumental Music Fund granted $14,000 to fix every musical instrument in every high school, guaranteeing that any student who wants to play an instrument can do so. Through the Maxwell Fund for Children and Families, we helped to pay for a groundbreaking educational seminar for teachers and principals. Lynn Bohart

And through our Circle of Giving Campaign, RCF annually donates thousands of dollars to individual teachers for specific projects, books or supplies. But the community supports students in other ways. Each year, Renton Rotary donates a dictionary to every third-grade student. For some, this is the first book they will ever own. Rotary also conducts Operation Warm, in which they donate new, warm coats to children in need. Renton Kiwanis Clothes Bank provides clean clothes to low-income students at no cost so they can hold their heads up when they come to school and feel like they fit in. And the Renton Kiwanis Club holds an annual Christmas party for disadvantaged students. Communities In Schools of Renton is a leading dropout-prevention program, which provides a community liaison in several Renton schools, along with mentors who help struggling students stay in school and succeed. The Salvation Army of Renton provides weekend backpacks with food for hungry children. Renton Area Youth & Family Services works within the Renton School District to provide one-on-one coaching, group support, and skill building opportunities for middle and high school youth. Even the Evergreen City Ballet provides dance instruction at local elementary schools during gym class. As a community, it’s critical that we support our school district and our students. Only then will we produce the next generation of innovative, compassionate, and productive adults. How can you help? [ more BOHART page 8 ]

Agency. Without adhering to it closely, the city runs the risk of not being reimbursed for expenses paid for during disaster management. All city staff have been recruited into disaster roles should one happen. “Say we just had the Napa earthquake today, we would look at every non-mission critical function in the city and say that one we could stop doing that for a few days,” said Needham. For example, Community Services instructors who usually teach community classes could be called on to coordinate housing in a disaster. The city has also done outreach with businesses that get funding from the City of Renton to help develop their disaster preparedness plans as part of the city’s continuity of operations. “We’ve done a lot, again, every department in the city to look at what are our continuity of operations and what are the plans we need to do,” said Shridhar.
Renton residents can now get upto-the-minute disaster information about the city and their neighborhood on their cell phone as part of the city’s “Ready in Renton” campaign. The city is rolling out a new notification system that requires interested residents to register their cell phones and devices with the Renton RedAlert system. After entering information in a website on the City of Renton’s homepage, residents can get critical messages by phone, TDD, text message and email detailing the latest information during a disaster. “So it’s a huge leap forward for us to notify not just the public as needed, but also emergency workers to come in and deal with an emergency,” said Deborah Needham, Renton’s emergency management director. City officials have found that the number of residents with landlines is shrinking and traditional modes of contacting the public during a disaster, like calling them at home, isn’t possible. A number of cell phone chargers have been purchased too for charging stations around Renton. That was a lesson learned after Hurricane Sandy, said Needham. You can contact the public via their cell phones, but with potentially no power in the area, residents have to be able to charge them. Although the city has some cell phone numbers in its database from other sources, officials are asking residents who haven’t previously given their information to sign up for the notifications. To sign-up, visit the city’s website at rentonwa.gov.

Woods apartment complex in Renton. “If you were to go back (through) the years, every year we had any kind of serious storm – whether it’s a snowstorm issue, flooding or potential – there are criteria that are followed to activate the E.O.C.,” said Preeti Shridhar, city spokesperson. The E.O.C. is organized into sections and can accommodate more than 40 emergency staff. There is a room dedicated to amateur radio operators, which the city calls its most resilient form of communication in a disaster. Staffed by the Renton Emergency Communication Service, a non-profit, operators can work on location at the E.O.C. or be mobile in the field. In the past, during serious snowstorms the radio operators were able to go to their nearest Renton school and post notifications at that Neighborhood Information Center’s bulletin board. In the main E.O.C. room there are pods of tables with different functions and also a break out room, where giant maps can be printed of the effected area. There is a section for logistics and finance, operations, planning and a public information or media table. Electronic smartboards help track rumors and giant projection screens on either end of the room help keep staff informed on the latest information about the disaster area. Most of the equipment and supplies were purchased with grants. “This is really oriented for the big one

When Steve Campau took over the Renton Coin Shop 10 years ago there were four counters, now he has 14 for conducting business and he’s seeing a greater mix of customers. The Renton Coin Shop is important to the community because it provides people with money and liquidity. The Renton Coin Shop has probably 5 to 10 million coins. On a typical day they will have as many as 100 to 125 customers. The shop is a centerpiece of the community, but it also attracts people from as far away as Montana, Anchorage, British Columbia, and Oregon. Campau’s goal is to be the biggest little coin shop in the world with a neighborhood coin store appeal. Bring in your silver, gold, coins, jewelry, diamonds, and foreign coins. You may just have a treasure amongst your items.
Angelo’s Pizza and Pasta House in the Highlands is testament to the longevity of Renton restaurants. With 28 years under its belt and counting, the establishment has made the best of hard times.

Tom & Lisa Pallis bought the restaurant in 1998 and continue to provide their customers with quality food along with outstanding customer service. Our business is 80% regulars and we proudly call them all by name when they come in. We have a cheat-sheet behind the counter if we get stuck, but the couple strives to great their regular customers by name as they enter the restaurant. One need only look at the wall in front of the kitchen so see their community support apparent in pictures of soccer and baseball teams the restaurant sponsors. Tom and Lisa are together almost 24 hours a day seven days a week.

I have been in the Renton area living and working and raising kids since 1982. My life has been in this town and it is awesome to be able to walk into a business and know them because of doing business here. My children, nephews and granddaughter came through the Renton School District. My experience for 14 years with the newspaper from production and data entry in 2000, office coordination, circulation, has been a great benefit to my new experience with sales. Having someone say "you look so familiar", and telling them for instance, "hollandaise on the side", that's how they remember me! I just got married in February to Fraser McLaren a fella I've known since we were kids in the Skyway neighborhood in the early 70's. We are consumed by our beloved sports teams, great food, Nascar and classic films like Jaws and We Bought A Zoo and National Treasure to name a few. I fully expect my early 2014 prediction to be fulfilled, Superbowl (got that), World Series and a Dale Earnhardt Jr Championship! #GO HAWKS!
I am an Advertising Sales Consultant with both the Renton & Auburn Reporters. I started my career with Sound Publishing back in 2011 with the Covington, Maple Valley & Black Diamond Reporter.

I began as a Regional Account Executive about 13 years ago for a Pacific Northwest based freight company & while traveling across the state, I fell in love with advertising & marketing. I enjoy being involved in the community, while supporting & helping local businesses GROW. I am also a member of the Kiwanis & I volunteer my time with the local food banks & many other non profit organizations. I have 3 beautiful children & a puppy, 10 year old twins, 5 year old daughter & a 2 year old husky, who keep me on my toes & remind me that life is all about living, laughing and loving. Work Hard, Play Hard.

Q. What constitutes a pet emergency? 1. Almost any problem involving the eye should be seen right away. Glaucoma, corneal ulcers, and foreign bodies beneath the eyelids are very serious and may lead to permanent blindness. 2. Profuse vomiting is another sign that needs immediate attention. It does not take very long for a pet, particularly a small one to become dangerously dehydrated. 3. Difficulty breathing is also a problem that should not wait. Difficulty breathing may be a severe cough, but more commonly it is exaggerated effort in breathing, with pets often using their abdominal muscles to help them breathe. 4. If there is active hemorrhage, of course, the pet needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away. If there are just a few drops of blood from a minor wound, it is probably OK to wait for your regular veterinarian. 5. If your pet has its first seizure, particularly if it lasts more that a couple of minutes, should be examined immediately. 6. If your pet ingests a toxin, particularly antifreeze, they should be taken to the emergency hospital as soon as possible. The doctor may induce vomiting to try to eliminate the absorption of the toxin, so time is important. 7. If your pet is pregnant, and is having difficulty having the babies, it should see the emergency veterinarian. If sever, this problem may require an emergency caesarean section. Of course, there are many other problems that pets can have. If you need advice on whether your pet’s symptoms should have immediate attention, call your Veterinarian or the local Emergency Hospital for advice. They will be happy to discuss your pet and their problem. 1121459

You are embarking on a wonderful and rewarding relationship. Because adopting a new dog comes with a lot of change for both dog and dog parent, we’ve compiled a checklist to help make the transition as smooth as possible. Questions for All Adopters: • Do you have any other dogs and how will they react to a new dog? • Is your current residence suited to the dog you’re considering? • How will your social life or work obligations affect your ability to care for a dog? • Do you have a plan for your new dog during vacations and/or work travel? How do the people you live with feel about having a dog in the house? • Are you (or your spouse, partner or roommate) intolerant of hair, dirt and other realities of sharing your home with a dog, such as allergies? • Do you or any of your
household/family members have health issues that may be affected by a dog? • What breed of dog is the best fit with your current lifestyle? (You can find information on specific breeds in our dog breed directory.) • Is there tension in the home? Dogs quickly pick up on stress in the home, and it can exacerbate their health and behavior problems. • Is there an adult in the family who has agreed to be ultimately responsible for the dog’s care? Size Considerations: • What size dog can your home accommodate? • Will you have enough room if your dog grows to be bigger than expected? • What size dog would suit the other people who live in or visit your home regularly? • Do you have another dog to consider when choosing the size of your next dog?

• How big a dog can you travel comfortably with? Dog Costs: • More likely than not, the adopting agency will charge a fee to help defray the cost of taking in unwanted or lost animals. The adoption fee you pay will be a tiny fraction of the money you will spend over the life of your dog. • You may need to pay for your adopted dog to be spayed or neutered before bringing him or her home. Other expenditures may not be required but are highly recommended: • Permanent identification, such as a microchip or tattoo • Training classes • Additional grooming supplies or professional grooming (depending on your new dog’s needs) • A spare collar or leash • A bed and toys • A crate or carrier • Unexpected costs: Accidents and illness can result in costly emergency veterinary care. Recovery tools for finding a missing dog can include posters and

rewards. Time Considerations: • Dogs need to be fed two to three times a day, more often in the case of puppies, and need a constant supply of fresh water. • A responsible dog parent should spend at least one hour per day giving direct attention to his or her dog. This may include training, exercising, grooming, and playing or, with cats, may just be lap time on the couch. Dogs will need to be taken out to potty several times a day. • A dog with an abundance of energy needs more time to exercise and interactive toys to keep them entertained. • Dogs with long coats need 20 minutes a day of grooming to prevent matting. Shopping Checklist: It may be a good idea to wait until you select your new dog before you begin shopping for supplies. Also, be sure to find out which food your dog was eating in the shelter or foster home so that you can provide the same. Once you’ve selected your dog, here’s a checklist of supplies you may need: • Necessary Items: Food and water bowls Food (canned and/dry) Collar, Four to six-foot leash, ID tag with your phone number Hard plastic carrier or foldable metal crate Dog bed Grooming items Plastic poop baggies (biodegradable ones are best) or pooper scooper Variety of toys (a ball, rope, chew toy and puzzle toy are good starts) Variety of treats Baby gate(s) For more information about pet supplies and outfitting your new friend go to http://www.sierrafishandpet.com/

She’s stalked by unwanted viewer The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD
“Foreigners learn to speak English or go home.” The officer wrote the graffiti apparently targeted the Asian community as it was sprayed between the Tea Palace restaurant and Viet Wah. There were no threats of harm.
TOOLS STOLEN FROM TRUCK: Multiple tools, a wallet and checkbook were stolen from a Renton man’s work truck Aug. 11 on Northeast 19th Street. There was no damage to the truck; the victim thinks it was accidentally left unlocked. The truck was parked in the driveway.

ACTION FIGURES STOLEN: About $10,000 worth of Marvel and Star War’s action figures, which are collectibles, were stolen from a storage unit sometime between midJuly and mid-August. The owner, a 39-year-old Renton man, discovered the theft after he was informed on Aug. 17 by the storage business on Southeast 174th Street that it appeared someone tampered with the padlock on his unit. Someone had cut the padlock and lock bracket, then replaced the padlock with a new one. The manager noticed that something was wrong because the padlock didn’t have the typical identification attached to it. PREGNANT WOMAN TUSSLES WITH GUARD: A 43-year-old Seattle woman who told officers she was five months pregnant was arrested Aug. 10 after trying to steal undergarments and household goods from Wal-Mart. A store security officer asked her to return to the store after walking out without paying for her items. She refused and in a struggle that ensued, the security officer ended up on top of her on the ground. She got on top of him and for a time had her forearm on the officer’s neck. Her 24-year-old son punched two store employees while he tried to help her. He denied hitting anyone. She admitted to taking the undergarments, which she needed to replace because her ex-boyfriend had flooded her apartment. She was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of third-degree theft and fourth-degree assault. The son was release so he could take custody of his two little sisters. GRAFFITI IS RACIALLY MOTIVATED: Racially motivated graffiti was sprayed on the back of the Viet Wah food market Aug. 7 on Northeast Sunset Boulevard. The words in black paint read: “Forners Learn to Speak English our go homo.” The officer offered an alternative spelling in a report:

A 28-year-old Renton woman who used to do internet sex shows needs help because a man who seems to be infatuated with her is stalking her. She told a Renton officer she once had her own website and people paid to watch her “perform” in front of a video camera. She left the “profession” several months ago and now works as a receptionist in South King County. The stalker was sending her explicit emails to the work email. She started using her personal email to respond in hopes the office wouldn’t learn of her past. She also started getting mail at home, from an address in Tennessee. A Renton officer called the local police department but hung up after waiting for an extended period of time in a phone tree.

Despite losses, Highlander girls looking to repeat BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
The Hazen girls soccer team is coming off a Seamount Championship season and may have lost eight four-year starters, but with a handful of top returners on the field, the Highlanders are looking to make another run at the playoffs. This year, the Highlanders will be led by senior forward Brook Swenson and junior defender Erin Zetterberg, both of whom have already committed to colleges, accoridng to coach Ken Matthews. Last year, Swenson had 13 goals and five assists for the Highlanders, earning a spot on the Seamount All-League first team. She is headed to Evergreen College next year.
Other top returners are junior defender Nicole Anderson, junior midfielder Taylor Lenton, junior keeper Brittany Dinkins and sophomore midfielder Amy Warmenhoven. Matthews also said junior midfielder Sarah Hart, sophomore defender Kierra Lim and defender Georgia Lawrence are all top newcomers to the team. “But this team’s success will live and die by ‘all-for-one’ so every girl will have a huge part,” Matthews said, adding that the Highlanders are planning a formation change this season. “At the first day of tryouts, a couple of keys fell into place,” Matthews said. “Hope that happens again.” The 2014 Highlander girls have big shoes to fill. Last year’s team finished 7-0-0 in the Seamount and 12-8-0 overall, advancing to the first

round of the state tournament. But that team had played together for years. Eight members of the squad were four-year starters who led the team to two league championships, 11 playoff games and earned a total of 23 All-League awards during their tenure at Hazen. But Matthews said he thinks his team will compete. “We expect to battle for the league championship, get to the playoffs and would love to get back to state,” he said.

Eagles runners looking to continue run of league championships, state showings BY BRIAN BECKLEY

After nine years on top of the Seamount for the boys and six years at the top for the girls, the Lindbergh cross-country teams are hoping to carry that momentum through to this season as well. According to Coach Jef Rettmann, his top returners this season on the boys side are Daniel Langer, Alex Sifuentes, Deven Maddy and Dupree Nugent. On the girls side, he said he is looking to returners Cindy Huynh, Christine Villanueva, Feven Fessehatzion and Lauren Wick to lead the way for the Eagles. Last year, the girls team not only won the Seamount but also won the West Central District and placed fourth at the state meet. The boys finished second in the West Central District and sixth at state. The goal is to improve on that this season. “We are hoping that both the boys and the girls teams can win the league again and place in the top four at state,” Rettmann said. Lindbergh’s season gets underway Sept. 11 at the Class Meet Jamboree in Evergreen.
There’s a new head football coach on the sidelines this season at Renton High School and Tim Tramp is hoping to take the Indians to the next level. After finishing last season a somewhat disappointing 4-6 (3-3 in the Seamount League), the Indians will look to senior starting quarterback and inside linebacker Elijah Clayton to lead them. Clayton is one of five offensive and five defensive starters returning to the squad this season. Along with Clayton, who spent part of his summer in Texas at the USA Football’s National Team Development Games, Tramp said wide receiver and free safety Ijaaz Rashid will another player to watch this year. Tramps aid he expects his team to be competitive this season and though there are a lot of new faces on the sidelines, the coach said all are committed to working hard. “We should be fun and exciting to watch,” he said. Renton opens their preseason schedule tomorrow, Saturday, against Lincoln as part of a jamboree at Stadium High School in Tacoma. Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050.

DNR urges fire safety this Labor Day weekend With the three-day Labor Day holiday approaching, fire experts with the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are urging campers, hikers, woodcutters, and other forest visitors to be especially careful with fire this
weekend. Despite some recent rain and cooler weather, fire danger remains high. In an effort to reduce humancaused wildfires, DNR issued a statewide burn ban on all lands under DNR protection, effective through Sept. 30. The ban applies to all forestlands in Washington state, except federal lands. In areas where campfires are
allowed, DNR asks the public to follow these suggestions: • Clear all vegetation away from the fire ring (remove all flammable materials such as needles, leaves, sticks, etc.). • Keep your campfire small. • Keep plenty of water and a shovel nearby for throwing dirt on the fire if it gets out of control. • Never leave a campfire unattended.
When putting out your campfire, you should: • First, drown the campfire with water. • Next, mix the ashes and embers with soil. Scrape all partially-burned sticks and logs to make sure all the hot embers are removed. Stir the embers after they are covered with water and make sure everything is wet. • Feel the coals, embers, and any
partially burned wood with your hands; everything should be cool to the touch. • When you think you are done, take an extra minute and add more water. Stir the remains, add more water, and stir again. • If water is unavailable, use moist dirt. Be careful not to bury any hot or burning material, as it can smolder and later start a wildfire.

Collective garden managers Ted Warren, left, and Steven Hinch, both support additional regulation of medical marijuana but worry about a potential ban. BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter they number about 2,000 and include seniors from the housing facilities downtown. They also worry that recreational-marijuana stores, of which Renton is scheduled to have three, will not only not have the strains their patients need, but that I-502, the initiative legalizing recreational marijuana use, specifically outlaws any discussion of medical uses at recreational stores. Hinch advocates a system similar to the one put in place in Colorado, where they have a “seed-to-sale” tracking system in place. He does not mind keeping all of the paperwork necessary and thinks his patients will not mind additional regulation. “We knew from the beginning we wanted to do things as legit as possible,” he said. “If you regulate it, I know as a patient I have a safe product I can use,” Warren said. “If you can’t jump through the hoops, you shouldn’t be doing this anyway.” But without state regulation and direction, something the city hoped the legislature would take care of during the last session, Renton is moving to ban medical marijuana and though Hinch said he is open to regulation and open to new policies the city may put forth, he hopes they do not simply ban the businesses. Hinch said he did not comment at a public hearing on the topic at the Planning Commission because the first he heard about the possible ban was in the Renton Reporter. He said the mayor has reached out to him and he will make his case there; but in the meantime he hopes the city will work with him and his patients to make sure they get the medicine they need because if a city like Renton bans medical marijuana, he fears a domino effect in other cities as well. “There needs to be checks and balances in place,” Hinch said. “I’m not just peddling high THC bud here.” To comment on this story view it online at www. rentonreporter.com.

shooting of 19-year-old college student Brendan Tevlin was in custody. On Aug. 20, Ali Muhammad Brown, 29, a convicted sex offender and transient, was charged with aggravated first-degree murder in Henderson’s slaying. The handgun used in the fatal shooting of Henderson and Tevlin also was linked to the fatal shooting of two men on June 1 in Seattle’s Leschi neighborhood. In July, Brown was charged with two counts of aggravated first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of Ahmed Said and Dwone AndersonYoung. Someone convicted of aggravated first-degree murder faces either the death penalty or life in prison without release. According to media reports, Brown is being held on $5 million bail. “The investigation in King County and New Jersey reveals that this defendant is responsible for a series of murders, none of which appear to be provoked, and all of which show an extreme level of violence,” said King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan SatLeroy Henderson, 30, of Skyway was shot terberg. to death April 27 on his way home from a “I expect that eventu- store. COURTESY KING COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ally Brown will come back to King County to face the three aggravated murder charges we have filed, but precisely when that will be remains unclear at this point,” he said. Two detectives with the King County Sheriff ’s Office interviewed Brown at the Essex County Detention Center in Newark, N.J. In the interview Brown described himself as a devout Muslim. According to charging documents, Brown was angry with the “evil” the U.S. government allowed in the country. In the interview he said that as part of his beliefs, if a “man sees evil, then he must take action against that evil.” He told the King County detectives that the policies the U.S. government followed in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan had led to the deaths of innocent civilians and children. He told an Essex County detective that the death of Brendan Tevlin was a “just kill;” he was an adult male and not a woman, child or elderly person. “All these lives [in the Middle East] are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life,” he told the detectives. After close questioning, he took responsibility for the fatal shootings in Seattle and Skyway, according to court documents. The motive, he said, was the “same thing.” Detective: “Those four murders that we’re talking about were all done for vengeance for the actions of the United States in the Middle East?” Brown: “Yes” Detective: “Are you taking responsibility for that?” Brown: “Just doing my small part.” Prosecutors write that all four men, who were alone late at night in a quiet place, were shot multiple times without provocation and “under circumstances that essentially amount to execution.”

juana, which he juices and drinks in the morning, thereby, he said, avoiding heat which activates the psychoactive chemicals and prevents the high. He said he went to 68 gardens and dispensaries before he met Hinch, who was the first person to walk him through what the strains would do and how to get the most effective medicine to help his condition. Most others, he said, were just interested in giving him the most potent strain they had in stock. Hinch said that is a story he hears often and it is why he, like the city, supports increased regulation of the medical-marijuana industry. But he fears that the lack of regulation from the state is leading to cities like Renton simply deciding to ban collective gardens, which both men said would only hurt people who are already sick. “Good taxpaying citizens will become criminals,” Warren said. The state’s medical-marijuana law is based off of a voter-approved initiative passed in 1998. The law allows for patients who get approval from a doctor to possess and grow marijuana for medical purposes. The law also created the “collective garden” so patients could work together. For example, someone contributes dirt, another person space, another person the lights, perhaps someone tends the garden. “It’s an agreement between patients to help one another,” said attorney Jay Berneburg, who represents Tranquility and many other medical-marijuana businesses. Berneburg is also affiliated with the Greener Business Bureau, a group created to self-regulate and police collective gardens. “This is a lot of Things got confusing, howevpaperwork we set up er, when the state Legislature in people to do.

Chriswere just a front, we tine Gregoire’s desk that was wouldn’t be worried designed to establish a licensing system and patient registry for about all that.” Jay Berneburg, attorney for medical marijuana. Gregoire Tranquility Holistic Garden used her line-item veto power to remove large parts of the law in an attempt to protect state employees from potential federal prosecution and in the process eliminated any and all regulations the legislature attempted to put in place, leaving something of a mess for the industry and cities to deal with. Berneburg said the veto left collective gardens as the “de facto economic model” for medical marijuana. “But it was never meant to be,” he said. “There are no rules.” With the lack of any specific regulation in place, the model that sprang up was one of temporary membership in a collective garden as a way to get medical marijuana. Berneburg said the law is clear that gardens may have no more than 10 members “at any time” and courts have ruled that those three words are the key to the legality of garden memberships. Today, when a patient with a valid prescription for marijuana goes into Tranquility, Berneburg said that person fills out a form to become a member of their garden. After they become a member, they can use their membership to access the medicine and then “make a contribution to the garden,” since sale and purchase of medical marijuana are still illegal. Once they’ve received their medicine, they leave, creating what Berneburg called a “rotating membership.” “When they leave, they resign their membership and that opens a seat,” he said. “Another patient can become a member.” Berneburg added that Tranquility keeps all of the paperwork and is in “strict compliance with the law.” “This is a lot of paperwork we set up people to do,” he said. “If we were just a front, we wouldn’t be worried about all that.” Berenburg and his group also advocate for greater state regulation of medical marijuana. But while Gregoire’s veto may have accidentally created the current system, the courts have also ruled that Gregoire’s veto of the registry, which was required for the businesses, gives cities the opportunity to ban medical-marijuana facilities within their city limits. For the guys at Tranquility, the worry is that banning gardens in the city will hurt their patients, which
