Michael Chadd Boysen, the Renton man convicted in the 2013 killing of his grandparents, died on March 18 of natural causes at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, according to the Walla Walla County coroner. Boysen died of a pulmonary emboli, a blood clot to the lungs, according to coroner Richard Greenwood. Final toxicology and autopsy reports will take approximately 8 to 10 weeks to complete. Boysen, 28, returned to his cell at approximately 7:40 a.m. after taking a shower and lost consciousness, according to a press release from the Washington state Department of Corrections.

Fish off: Students release salmon into creek BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

‘Cadillac Tax’ on highend plans could cost city $484,000 in 2018 BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Apollo Elementary student Kendall Leavitt (above) releases one of 230 coho salmon into Issaquah Creek. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter “It’s a great culminating project to integrate all the domains of science, physical science and earth science for our thirdgrade curriculum and it’s really a great opportunity for the community,” said Lauren Screibers, third-grade teacher at Apollo. In January the salmon arrived at the school as eggs and the students have been watching them grow ever since. There are 155 schools that participate in the “Salmon in the Schools” program. Each school gets 250 salmon eggs to raise.

The City of Renton will face a huge tax penalty under the Affordable Care Act beginning in 2018 if changes are not made to the city’s health-care plans, according to a report given to the city council earlier this month. Under current ACA rules and if no changes are made, a 40 percent excise tax on premium health-care plans – known colloquially as the “Cadillac Tax” – will cost the city an estimated $484,914 in 2018, $802,758 in 2019 and will reach as high as $41 million in 2024. “We have to do something,” said Senior Benefits Analyst Maria Boggs. Boggs said the estimates are based [ more PENALTY page 11 ]

Third-grade students at Apollo Elementary School said goodbye to about 230 coho salmon that they released into the Issaquah Creek March 18 as part of a “Salmon in the Schools” project. The event was also a fundraiser for the ailing program, which is in need of funds and volunteers. About 150 kids ran squealing around the property of Pickering Barn in Issaquah, eager to get Salmon Release Day underway. When it was time, they pushed and squeezed into four lines in front of their teachers, who manned painter-sized buckets full of tiny fish. “Well, today’s an amazing day because we’re having the chance to release salmon into the creek and I think that’s a rare time,” said third-grader Max Novak. He and other students were given cups containing fish to walk down to the creek and release into the wild waters below. It was an activity that took about 10 minutes for the students to complete, but they’ve spent months prior to the exercise learning about the lifecycle of coho salmon.

Staff attempted life–saving measures, but Boysen was pronounced dead at approximately 8:10 a.m. Boysen had served 16 months of a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the March 2013 murders of Robert and Norma Taylor, just hours after they picked him up from a state prison in Monroe. Following the murders, Boysen fled to Lincoln City, Ore., where he was arrested after an hours-long standoff with police. After his arrest, Boysen railed against the poor treatment he received by the legal system and in the King County Jail, where he was held for about seven months. He also attempted suicide in jail and was treated at Harborview Medical Center 16 times.

LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL PLAY HEADS TO 1920S

Go back to the Jazz Age this spring as Liberty High School’s Patriot Players perform “The Drowsy Chaperone,” a parody of American musical comedies of the 1920s. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. April 24, 25, 30 and May 1 and 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. May 2 in Liberty’s Landback Auditorium. Tickets are $12 for adults; $10 for seniors, children under 12, and students with Liberty ASB cards. They can be purchased at the door. Advance ticket purchases will also be available on a limited basis in April through the Liberty website, www.liberty. issaquah.wednet.edu. In “The Drowsy Chaperone,” a neurotic narrator leads the audience through a fictional 1928 musical comedy in his dingy apartment. As he listens to the rare recording, he is drawn into the world of the musical and its characters come to life. Liberty High School is located at 16655 S.E. 136th St., Renton.

Learn how to row, row, row a boat this weekend BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

This Saturday marks the beginning of the spring rowing season for the Renton Rowing Center and the community is invited to come out and try their skill on Lake Washington. Saturday is the first “Row for a Day” class at the center, 900 N. Riverside Dr., Renton. The introductory class is from 9 a.m. to noon and teaches participants the basics of the rowing stroke, a brief overview of the equipment and the programs at the center. The “Row for a Day” event is held the first Saturday of each month in the spring and summer. It costs $20. “If you can squat to sit, lift an object over your head, you can row,” said Courtney Moeller, center operations manager. “If you are small in stature, want to be part of a team sport, but prefer to use your brain over your brawn, you may be a perfect coxswain,” she said, referring to the person who commands the crew during races and practice. Moeller is also the head coach at the center and is a Renton native. She graduated from Liberty High School in 2001 and rowed for four years at Western Washington University, winning the NCAA Championship title with her team in 2005. “The best way to find out if rowing or coxing is for you is to try it. There is a program for everyone regardless of size, age or experience,” she said. Typically after the “Row for a Day” class, adults go on to try the “Learn to Row Class,” which is an introductory eight-session class that teaches skills to row independently or with

In 2011, a coalition of educators, agencies and advocates came together to continue the program, which was nearly wiped out because of state budget cuts. The coalition is called the Salmon Education Alliance. Now, 25 years after the program’s inception, the equipment is beginning to fail and there are program costs beyond what FISH has allotted, Suzannah Cox said. She is a FISH education coordinator. “So we’re constantly having to go out and find funding to keep the equipment running in these

TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter teammates. There are a range of opportunities for adults from these introductory classes to individual membership to competitive and recreational team opportunities. The Renton Rowing Center is a community boathouse of the George Pocock Rowing Foundation and opened its doors in the summer of 2014. They also feature recreational rentals of sit-in-top kayaks and standup paddle boards. “The Renton Rowing Center programs offer

various schools,” said Cox. Apollo raised close to $140 in donations for the project that day, with some of the money coming from whatever change the students had to contribute. “Being able to take ownership of raising salmon is hopefully creating a lifelong stewardship and impact on the students,” said Cox. Campbell Hill Elementary plans to release Kokanee Salmon in April as part of the same program. FISH is also in need of volunteers, who are responsible for going into the classrooms and making presentations in some cases. FISH is currently funding low income schools with salmon setups for next year, but most schools need to raise the initial startup moneys and designate upkeep funds as well, she said. For more information, email education@issaquahfish.org.

Twelve schools in the Renton School District have been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for reducing the amount of energy used in district buildings last year. All three middle schools, McKnight, Dimmitt and Nelsen; Bryn Mawr, Campbell Hill, Cascade, Highlands, Lakeridge, Maplewood and Talbot Hill elementary schools and Lindbergh and Renton high schools received the EPA’s Energy Star award. It is given to buildings that use 35 percent less energy and generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions than similar buildings. The top performing school in the district is McKnight Middle School.

Trade fair at Lindbergh highlights good career alternatives

John R. Syjud passed away at his home in Centralia, Washington on March 19, 2015 after a long, full, and rich life. John was born in Hamtramck (Detroit), Michigan on October 5, 1930 to Mildred and Jan Syjud. The youngest of five children, he served as an altar boy in a Polish-speaking Catholic church, and began playing accordion and singing in Polish polka bands at a young age. Richie Rich and the Royals even made records, and it was as a musician that John met his bride, the lovely Iris Ann Smith. John and Iris celebrated 62 years of marriage last year, and together they had five daughters, all of whom were raised in a large house that John built in Renton, Washington, with his own hands. John Syjud was always proud of his service as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, during the Korean War. Hired by Boeing in 1958, John and Iris moved to the Seattle area, where he worked as an electronic technician, running an AIRINC site for aeronautic radar research for nearly thirty years, serving as a union steward with the Aerospace Machinists Union. He also had a small construction business, building homes, garages, and room additions. After John and Iris retired, they enjoyed many years traveling around the country in their beloved RV, spending many winters in Arizona with old friends from Michigan. John was blessed with many talents. He was a fine woodworker and builder, an accordionist, and a master gardener and composter, going to schools to train young people in the art. He made wine and beer, remodeled a baby grand piano (both inside and out) for the family home, and he was a master auto mechanic. John was a plumber, electrician, and surveyor - a true Renaissance man of his time. John R. Syjud is survived by his wife, Iris Ann Syjud, and five daughters, Denise Roselle, Cindy Browne, Beth Ann Brooks, Dolores Tannehill, and Christina Massoni; five grandchildren, Austin Jamieson, Tor Benson, Iris Nash, Eva Massoni, and Nicholas Browne; there is one great grandchild on the way; sons and daughters-in law, and many more loving relatives. He was well loved and will be truly missed. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, March 28th, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 225 N. Washington, Centralia, Washington. In memory of John, do something nice for someone. 1278453

About 1,300 Renton students were expected to attend the Renton School District’s Career and Technical Education Department’s annual Trades Fair at Lindbergh High School on Tuesday. The trades are an option for about half of Renton’s high school students today, educators say. The event featured about 42 representatives from industry, apprenticeship and training programs from local businesses, community and technical colleges. Lindbergh senior Dakota Breslin is planning on attending Green River Community College next year; although he’s not sure which trade he’ll go into, he’s excited about exploring the many programs the school has to offer. “I know that there’s lots of good trades out there and they’re well-paying jobs and you get a pension, so it’s a really good future,” Breslin said. He was inspired to pursue a career in the trades after taking wood shop classes at Lindbergh for several years. This year he’s taking construction and aerospace classes too. “All the programs we have here, the shop classes, are great programs,” he said. Breslin is one of many students in the district who plans to pursue a career in a trade, instead of going to a four-year

college, according to Creed Nelsen. Nelson teaches the industrial technology classes at Lindbergh. “From my findings here at the high school, I would say that these are viable options for at least 50 percent of the students we have here at the school,” said Nelsen. Lindbergh, he said, falls within the state average where 20 percent of the students go on to a four-year college and 80 percent need “viable options” for careers. “These are living wage jobs,” Nelsen said. “These are jobs that have careers that can span as long as they want to be with them. These are much better jobs than working at a fast-food place or making coffee for somebody.” Representatives at the fair included staff from Kenworth, Boeing, Puget Sound Energy, Renton Police Force, Renton Technical College, Northwest Culinary Institute, HEXCEL, Universal Technical Institute and the Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee to name a few. In his time at Lindbergh, Nelsen said he’s noticed a cultural shift in staff, administration and the counseling department to being aware that there are more viable options out there for students to go into. “They’re more supportive of these types of programs,” he said. Students from all three middle schools and all three high

A dog in the private vehicle wasn’t injured but still needed some human care. The dog was taken home by Renton Fire Lt. Tim Smith in an aid car. Emergency crews try to reunite pets involved in an accident with their owners if they are known, said Terri Vickers, a Renton Police Department spokeswoman. If the pets can’t be returned immediately, they are kept in kennels at the Renton city shops. The robbery occurred inside a vehicle parked outside an apartment complex in the 300 block of Houser Way South. A cell phone and car keys were stolen. The suspect fled in another vehicle, which was located in the 1600 block of Benson Drive by Renton Police officers. The suspect bailed out of the car in the 2800 block of Benson Drive and fled on foot. A K9 unit from Kent and a police helicopter searched for the suspect without success. The investigation is continuing.

Chef J goes from downtown Renton to the big leagues

Carolyn Ossorio

HOT FROM THE OVEN

o you ever see those people at Costco schlepping Tsunami sized shopping carts loaded with everything under the foodie sky and wonder what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be Chef Jeremy! â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they see me coming, they yell out, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chef to the Mariners!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and sometimes open another line for me.â&#x20AC;? Recently, I had the opportunity to hang out with Renton Chef Jeremy Bryant at two locations: his Renton home base with co-owner Kenny Rogers at Rain City Catering located next door to the Renton Chamber of Commerce and the Clubhouse Kitchen at Safeco Field, where he has been the official cook of the Mariners for 17 years. We started at Rain City, where the ovens were filled with enough barbecue ribs to feed an army and I learned that Chefs Jeremy and Kenny finish each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentences, read each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds and know their strengths and weaknesses. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only been hanging out since childhood: Kennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family moved next door to Jeremyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Skyway home nearly 40 years ago. In addition to being the official caterers of the Renton Pavilion Event Center, Rain City has catering jobs all over the Pacific Northwest. But perhaps most famously there is the Mariners. During the season, Chef Jeremy preps the food in Renton and then drives it all down to Safeco Field. And this season Kenny is the Yin to Jeremyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yang as the chef for the opposing team at Safeco Field. But the story of how Chef Jeremy began cooking for the Mariners begins even before there was a Safeco Field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First and foremost, I started off as a Seattle sports fan. I love the Mariners,â&#x20AC;? he said, showing me around the Marinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club House Kitchen at Safeco Field, usually off limits to media. While there, Chef J showed me how to cook two of his famous Mariner recipes: Edgar Martinezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite pasta and Ichiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superstitiously delicious â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ichy Wings.â&#x20AC;? For a bigger guy (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never trust a skinny chef,â&#x20AC;? he says), thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nimbleness to Chef Jeremy. He has the demeanor of someone whose natural environment is cooking comfort food over a flaming gas grill and freely tells his stories of 17 years in the big leagues of cooking. And he has come a long way since his â&#x20AC;&#x153;rookie years.â&#x20AC;? His first few days of cooking for the team he wore a paper chef â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hat and whites and made gourmet food, with carefully carved rosettes from apples. On his fourth day, Jay Buhner gave it to him straight. Buhner knocked off his paper chef hat, the story goes, and said something like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dude, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up with the fancy roses? Can you just make me some meatloaf?â&#x20AC;? Since then, Jeremy has a little more salt and pepper in his goatee and even received a custom No. 27 (for his age when he first started cooking in the Clubhouse) Marinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jersey, a gift from the players. He also earned the nickname, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Papi,â&#x20AC;? bestowed upon him by Edgar Martinez, who requested a special meal from the chef that Jeremy shared with me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This dish happened when Edgar came into the kitchen

and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Papi, make me some pasta,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Chef Jeremy said as he and I stood cooking side-by-side in the same kitchen where the team lines up to get some grub. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty fortunate spot to be in and when asked, Chef Jeremy still looks a little surprised by his own story. Jeremy went to a game at the Kingdome in 1997 and ran into a kid from his neighborhood who had become a bat boy. The kid snuck him into the clubhouse, a no-no in the biz. Jeremy ended up meeting most of the players until Clubhouse Manager Scotty Gilbert came over and asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, but who are you?â&#x20AC;? Without skipping a beat, Chef Jeremy stuck out his hand and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a chef and I want to cook for the Mariners.â&#x20AC;? For the next two years he kept on Gilbert, eventually offering to cook a meal for free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told Scotty I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge him a dollar, I just wanted the chance to show him what I could do,â&#x20AC;? Jeremy recounted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cooked amazing food for them and the players loved it.â&#x20AC;? After two years of wooing, Chef Jeremy got the call to come cook for the Mariners at Safeco Field. The Clubhouse kitchen is a small intimate kitchen and though Safeco Field is quite a bit larger than most homes, I had no problem imagining Jeremyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen as a focal point for players to eat and unwind, like any kitchen. As we cooked, Jeremy shared stories of guests who stopped in over the years for a snack: the turkey sandwich for rock star Eddie Vedder; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kyle Seager Sandwichâ&#x20AC;? for Joe Montana; a plate of chicken for Snoop Dog.

I got the impression that Jeremy might still be pinching himself as we stood in the Clubhouse Kitchen, had he not been holding tongs used to make Ichiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ichy Wings.â&#x20AC;? When Chef Jeremy found out that Ichiro was coming to Seattle he tried to learn how to make sushi, though the player had another order in mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first day in the kitchen Ichiro asked me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;do you have a cheeseburger?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Chef Jeremy offered hot wings. Only they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hot wings, exactly. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been preparing a batch of Mexican inspired chicken wings and at the last minute added some teriyaki flavor, fresh ginger and Asian-inspired seasonings. After eating the wings Ichiro went out to make a huge play and from then on he would only eat Chef Jeremyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wings before every game. Nine wings, to be exact and always on the same plate. Chef Jeremyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story is one I never get tired of listening to, especially while eating pasta with a simple sautĂŠed preparation of melted butter, garlic, onions, in a cream and tomato base with fresh herbs, parmesan and surprisingly, pepperoni with penne noodles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it when Edgar let me cook him pasta,â&#x20AC;? Chef J said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the new players are more nutritionally conscience, so my cooking has evolved.â&#x20AC;? But like most things I was learning about, Jeremy he has a knack for evolution, turning happenstance situations into opportunities. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that knack, plus a little hustle here, a lot of hard work there and the ability to adapt on the fly thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s led to this Renton boy fulfilling his dreams in the big leagues.

Plenty of ways to volunteer in city; the choice is yours While I believe that volunteering is a noble act and good for the soul, most of us want to volunteer doing something that we enjoy. After all, we’re volunteering. This got me to thinking about how different we are in the ways in which we like to volunteer. There are probably as many different ways an individual can volunteer as there are individual skills and interests. Recently, I’ve seen this in action. I had lunch today with a young woman who is the adviser for one of the funds here at the community foundation. She mentioned that she prefers to stay in the background, and yet, she loves working one-on-one with people. Not only does she volunteer as a mentor for a young boy in the Issaquah School District, she visits with a senior citizen in a nursing home. It was a joy to watch her eyes light up as she talked about these two individuals and how she feels she is making a difference in their lives by just visiting and engaging with them. I have another friend who is a strong writer. She stopped in last week because she has volunteered to help an older gentleman edit his memoir, and she wanted to chat with me about self-publishing. She didn’t want anything in return for this, just to help someone in need. I had lunch recently with two women (a young woman and her mother-in-law) because they wanted to know more about how to get involved in the community. The moment I began to tell them about Birthday Dreams, a nonprofit that provides birthday parties for homeless kids, they got very excited. The mother-in-law said she might like to bake cakes, while her daughter-in-law just gushed at the thought that she might volunteer to help kids. A week ago, I had a nice email exchange with a gentleman who requested information on an organization he might benefit. He used to build wheelchair ramps for the MS Society until they eliminated that program. I gave him the contact information for the Way Back Inn, which maintains several homes to help transition homeless families into permanent housing. I thought his carpentry skills might come in handy. This morning, I received a phone call from one of my former board members, also asking about the Way Back Inn because he had some furniture to donate. When I got into the office today, I had an email from a current board member who has a neighbor interested in offering her technology skills to an organization that helps to get disadvantaged kids into the STEM programs and wondered where she might volunteer. I also have three highly accomplished [ more BOHART page 7 ]

Film reels in economic benefits I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on film in Washington. And whether you realize it or not, our little Renton is now looked upon as a film center in the state of Washington. I’m a citizen who took a risk from a secure technology industry and dove into the entertainment industry. I was tired of not really understanding myself and knew that my long-denied creativity had to have an answer. That’s one of the amazing things about the film industry in Washington; if I lived in New York or Los Angeles, there’s no way I could enter the industry late in my career and hope to compete. But, here, the industry is smaller and more of a community. People want to help and they welcome new players. Renton has become a microcosm of that same energy. I joined the Renton Municipal Arts Commission a few years ago and learned that this community was filled with passionate professional artists. I initially joined the planning committee for the Renton FilmFrenzy and was excited as the city created a day where multiple teams, all across Renton, would film minimovies with only 50 hours to complete the entire process. Then came SIFF-Renton, an amazing partnership with the Seattle International Film Festival. This involved an awesome opening-night party – often referred to as Renton’s best party – followed by a full week of SIFF screenings in our very own backyard. Soon thereafter came Crash Cinema (another SIFF partnership), and then finally in 2014 the formation of REEL Renton, an umbrella organization for all these amazing events. So it was an honor when Washington Filmworks reached out and asked me to be a community organizer for the legislative efforts of Ben Andrews

OPINION

[6] March 27, 2015

Senate Bill 6027, which would double the state’s current production incentive program. Our state has a Film Competitiveness Program that presently has a $3.5 million cap. This incentive gives production companies a tax rebate for in-state expenditures. Washington’s is the fifth-smallest incentive in the country. Last year, under the program’s current cap, the annual fund was expended by May and a total of $55 million worth of film production projects were immediately turned away. SB6027 doubles the size of the cap over the next two years to $7 million and increases the fund incrementally each year until it reaches $10 million in 2019. The sunset date for the program will also be extended to 2022. Economic analysis shows that our state receives $10 of economic benefits for every $1 invested. But beyond economic value, I argue that film has a creative energy impact. I realize it’s apples to oranges, but how do you gauge the economic impact of the 12’s? You can’t. It’s an energy. It’s community. It’s a common purpose that distracts people from what can otherwise be a stressful and difficult daily routine. Film can do something similar. The community gets excited when celebrities are in town. When you walk by a movie set you can’t help but want to get closer. When you finally see the movie you’re excited about all the locations you recognize. “Sleepless in Seattle” was filmed in Washington more 20 years ago, yet when you get off the plane at Sea-Tac you can STILL find Sleepless in Seattle souvenirs. People recognize, relate, and feel through movies. I don’t know about you but I want to have a movie like that shooting in Seattle once a year. On March 17, along with hundreds of other local film industry people, I visited Olympia to meet with our legislators and lobby for the film [ more ANDREWS page 7 ]

Certainly these tasks are below their skill level. And yet, they know that as the only employee in my office, these are tasks that I need help with, so they’re happy to do it.

Fire at apartment complex displaces at least three families BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

At least three families were displaced, but no one was injured on Sunday during a fire at the Summerhill Apartment Complex in the 10600 block of Southeast Carr Road. According to Deputy Chief Erik Wallgren, the first responders saw a

“thermal column” of black smoke rising from the scene, which indicates a larger, working fire, and upgraded the call to two alarms. Upon arrival, firefighters saw flames coming from a second-floor unit that were extending to the third and fourth floors of the building. Firefighters were able to douse the flames from the outside

first before battling them inside. In total, more then 50 firefighters from Renton and surrounding jurisdictions responded. According to Wallgren, the fire was extinguished in about 30 minutes, though firefighters remained on scene dealing with hot spots for several hours. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Is your pet over weight? Excess weight is a serious health problem for dogs and cats and is common in many countries. The two main causes of obesity are too much food and too little exercise. Other contributing factors can be due to hormonal influences, certain genetic factors, and other disease processes. If you pet is carrying extra weight, it can: 1. Increase the risk of heart disease by forcing the heart to work harder. 2. Increase the risk of arthritis as extra weight can stress the joints, cause joint pain, and make it harder for your pet to move around comfortably. 3. Obesity can cause breathing problems, skin and hair coat problems. 4. Especially in cats, obesity frequently leads to diabetes. All of these problems can make your pet uncomfortable and limit the way they interact with you and other family members. Treatment is to rule out and treat any medical causes, such as hypothyroidism. Reducing caloric intake and increasing exercise can help your pet successfully lose weight. Lifestyle changes and a weight loss program are essential. Your veterinarian can help determine if your pet is too heavy and provide guidelines for achieving their ideal weight. Slentrol is an oral weight loss drug for obese dogs that are not able to lose weight by other means.

incentive. It was an amazing day. A volunteer cast and crew filmed a promo scene of “Z Nation” on the capital steps. “Z Nation” is an incentivized SYFY series shot in Spokane. Even some of the leads came out to be a part of this production. Zombies were all over the capital. It was crazy. Meanwhile 300 film industry people split into teams and had more than 90 meetings with our state senators and representatives. I personally had meetings with four senators. I have to tell you it was awesome to learn a bit more about their daily work and challenges. I definitely have a new respect for the challenges our legislators face.

Washington Filmworks has drafted a business letter of support and the goal is to have 300 businesses sign on to the letter before Wednesday’s hearing.

federal felonies: conspiracy to distribute marijuana, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and unlawful possession of a firearm. “The fact that you brought that firearm to a volatile situation, knowing it was suspicious…. You should have walked away,” U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik said at the sentencing hearing. “This case is a grim reminder that drugs and guns don’t mix,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes. “No matter what the drug, we will not allow the violence that comes from this dangerous combination to go unpunished. That is especially true when – as in this case – the gun is in the hands of a convicted felon.”

According to the records filed in King County Superior Court and federal court, Ross and an associate arrived at a Federal Way apartment complex to sell two pounds of marijuana to two men – Lenny Brikn and his brother, Deshawn Boykin. Ross was armed with a stolen gun, despite having two previous felony drug convictions that prohibited him from possessing a firearm. Brikn and Boykin drew “Mac 10” style semiautomatic pistols, ordered Ross and his associate to lie on the ground, and attempted to rob them of the marijuana. Ross claimed to be an undercover police officer, and scared Brikn and Boykin into running away. As the two would-be robbers fled, Ross drew his gun, aimed and fired multiple times at the men. Boykin was hit twice in the back and died of his wounds at St. Francis Medical Center. Lenny Brikn, Jr., 20, of Federal Way was sentenced last September to seven years in prison for Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of a Crime of Violence & a Drug Trafficking Crime. www.rentonreporter.com

www.rentonreporter.com [ PENALTY from page 1] on a 10 percent per year inflation rate. The tax affects all plans that cross a “premium threshold” that includes the amount both employer and employee pay in, as well as employee and employer contributions to flexible spending accounts. In 2018, the individual threshold is set at $10,200 and the family threshold is $27,500. According to Boggs, the City of Renton

employee plans will cross the premium threshold in 2018 and the individual threshold soon after. “It’s going to be a challenge to all employers that have these types of plans,” Boggs said, adding that a “creative solution” is going to be necessary to keep the city’s benefit package competitive. Any changes to the health plan will have to be negotiated with the union through collective bargaining. The city will be in negotiations with the

union this year, as the current contracts expire at the end of 2015. Boggs said the city is presently working with insurance brokers to design options to be presented to the union, which could include small changes like a tiered plan. “Ideally we find a way to make a plan design that eliminates the tax liability,” Boggs said. The City of Renton currently spends about $12 million per year on healthcare for city employees. According to City

Administrator Jay Covington, healthcare costs are increasing at a rate more than double the rate of inflation. Covington also said the city’s unions have been “very good” in helping to find ways to keep healthcare costs down in previous negotiations.

A whole new ballgame for Indians baseball team BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

In just his second year as coach of the Renton baseball team, it looks like a whole new ballgame for Chris Fedor and the Indians. Last year, the team had just eight players turn out on the first day of practice, and none were seniors. This year, 29 players and two former players returning as coaches showed up, enough for varsity and a junior varsity team. Fedor is hoping it is enough to help improve

over last year, when the Indians struggled against larger, more talented teams and finished the year with an 0-17 record. This year, the team is led by senior captain and 2014 All-League honorable mention Elijah Clayton, who plays centerfield. Sophomore catcher Michael Stuart is also expected to take a leadership role. Fedor also said his team has 13 returners who saw varsity action last year. With a full squad and an experienced team, Fedor said he is excited to see his team compete.

After a 14-2 season last year, the Hazen girls tennis team has a large group of returners and Coach Gail Ellis again expects the team to deliver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My expectations are always high,â&#x20AC;? Ellis said in an email, adding that both losses last season came to Kennedy. Though the team lost several key players, it returns an experienced group led by Misa Takami and Elise Wong, both of whom made the All-League team last season. Last year Takami made it to the top 12 at the state tournament. Wong went undefeated in singles play through the season but was unable to play in the postseason. Amy Huynh, Kristy Huynh, Catherine Lin, Kelly Lo, Lilian Mai, Minh Thu Nguyen and Gabbie Solis-Lazenby all also return this year, according to Ellis. Also joining the team this season is exchange student Valeria Carrillo, whom Ellis expects to figure into the doubles line-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of girls returning from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team and a lot of girls who have come up from C team and JV who are seniors this year,â&#x20AC;? Ellis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really great group of coachable girls, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to the season to see how they progress.â&#x20AC;? The Hazen Highlanders girls tennis team dropped their opening match to Mt. Si on March 19 and were scheduled to play at Sammamish on Tuesday, at Lindbergh on Wednesday and at Evergreen today, Friday. www.whidbeyexaminer.com

Though they are coming off a 10-4 season last year and returning the Seamount Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls tennis player Athlete of the Year, Lindbergh girls tennis coach Erik Ho tempered expectations, calling this season a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rebuilding processâ&#x20AC;? for his squad. The Eagles will be led again by junior Liezel Villanueva, who was last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top player in the league. Villanueva finished fourth at the state tournament last spring and Ho said he is expecting her to do just as well, if not better this year. He also cited senior returners Jessica Timazon and Myranda Dang as players to watch and said the two will be paired as a doubles team this year that he hopes will contend at the state tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As for expectations this year, I just want my girls to have fun and enjoy the game of tennis,â&#x20AC;? Ho said in an email. The Eagles were scheduled to open their season Wednesday at home against Hazen and travel to Renton today, Friday. January 1ďż˝ 2015 Paďż˝e 9

Current Employment Opportunities at www.soundpublishing.com

STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you. This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one. Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words. Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question. The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm. And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your five favorite stories to: hreast@soundpublishing.com. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.
