Hospital Commission race features new faces
Seahawks Camp 2015
BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
This week at camp, wide receiver Ricardo Lockette helped put a young man through the paces as part of the NFL’s Play 60 campaign that encourages kids to be active for at least 60 minutes a day. The Seahawks also welcomed members of the military this week. For more photos, turn to page 19. KELLEY BALCOMB-BARTOK, For the Renton reporter
Dr. Terry Block, appointed in January to fill a vacant position on the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Commissioners, will not advance to the general election in November. Block came in third in the Aug. 18 primary election behind Savannah CliffordVisker of Renton and Lawton Montgomery of Kent, who will now run for the at-large Position 4 on the commission in the Nov. 3 election. In the primary race for Renton City Council Position 4, Ryan McIrvin received 61 percent of the vote to Monique Taylor-Swan’s 33 percent, as of Tuesday, the latest results available before the Renton Reporter’s print deadline. Charles D. Seil, who had withdrawn from the race before the election, received 5 percent of the vote. The council incumbent, Greg Taylor, had decided not to seek re-election. The percentages had changed little in the hospital commission race since the initial election night tally. [ more PRIMARY page 13 ]

Ground was finally broken this week on a $10 million multi-use project in downtown Renton that city officials believe could be part of a rebirth to the area. Work at the Lofts at Second and Main, a multi-use project that will add both residential and commercial space to the downtown core, began this week with a scheduled completion date of December 2016. It is the first new residential development downtown since 2008.
When completed, the project will add 101 onetwo- and three-bedroom apartments totaling more than 91,000-square-feet of residential space and an additional 4,000 of commercial space at street level. The six-story building will also include an underground parking garage for residents. The project is being developed by the Cosmos Development Co.. The project architect is Jackson Main Architecture. Mayor Denis Law this week called the project “critical” to the revitalization of downtown because [ more LOFTS page 12 ]

Arts Unlimited cancels this summer’s Art Walk Group expanding event for next year, launching monthly art walks and Eruptions of Art BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Renton’s annual Art and Antique Walk has been cancelled this year to make way for an even bigger Arts and Antique Street Fair next year. Organizer Arts Unlimited made the announcement on their website recently. It became a matter of logistics this year and organizers ran out of time to get the necessary permitting, said Paul Hebron, president of Arts Unlimited. “Our goal for 2015 was to block off 3rd street from Burnett to Main and create a street-fair, which required additional permits from the City of Renton,” said Hebron. “We didn’t secure the permits in a timely manner, thus our board of directors decided to postpone the street-fair until 2016.” The idea to expand the walk to a street fair came last year after a number of artists expressed concern about being situated in front of vacant businesses downtown. Originally designed to be an arts and antique walk through downtown, the vacant storefronts created by Renton Western Wear and the American Drapery business, for example, created gaps in the
Visitors to the 2014 Art and Antique Walk check out the wares from a local artist. This year’s event has been canceled but Arts Unlimited has big plans for next year. FILE PHOTO BY BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter programming for the event, said Hebron. In addition to plans to expand next year, Arts Unlimited has hosted a bunch of new events this year including once a month art walks, sketch nights and the Eruptions of Art. “A lot of the programming that we’re doing is new for us,” said Hebron. “We just felt like we
needed the time to do the street fair correctly.” Attendance at some of the smaller arts events has been good, except for July, which Hebron attributes to people taking vacations. The Eruption of Art event, for example, has featured 14 to 20 artists and live music at Luther’s Table and Liberty Cafe. All centered on “First Fridays,” the events are
a take-off of entertainment events hosted Liberty Cafe and Ancient’s Arts Tattoo. “We’re talked to a lot of the business owners and they said that foot traffic has increased those nights,” said Hebron. To keep up to date on Arts Unlimited’s events, check out their website at www.artsunlimited.org.
City asking residents to voluntarily conserve water Though the city insists its water supply is not in any danger of drying up, they are joining the efforts of surrounding municipalities and asking residents to voluntarily cut water usage by 10 percent. The move to a voluntary conservation stage was announced Tuesday. Renton supplements its aquifer-based water sources with additional supply from Seattle Public Utilities, which announced its conservation plan earlier this summer. Because the water supply issues affects the entire regional system, SPU has asked all of its partners to do their part to conserve water. The move is bought on by the driest May and June on record and the potential for a drier-

Return to Renton Car Show donates $13,000 to police Group’s donations total $225,000; money for youth programs was used to buy sneakers for basketball players last year BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Given the big amounts that the Return to Renton Car Show has donated to the Renton Police Department over the past few years, event co-chair Jim Medzegian this week showed up to the City Council toting a big check. But not only was the prop large, the donation was too, with this year’s show pulling in $13,000 to benefit the department’s youth programs. “I’m not sure how I’m going to get that in the ATM, but…” Police Chief Kevin Milosevich joked, thanking the group for all they have done.

“We felt it was a good show,” Medzegian said. According to statistics from Medzegian, this year’s show drew 43 percent of participants from Renton, 16 percent from Kent and Auburn and 11 percent from farther away. Ten percent of participants also came from Tacoma, 10 percent from Bellevue and 10 percent from Seattle. This year’s event had more than 60 sponsors and handed out 40 trophies. Next year’s Return to Renton car show is already scheduled for July 10, 2016, but Medzegian announced that after 10 years as chair, he and his wife will be stepping down from the leadership team.

Milosevich said last year, the money donated by the car show helped the department offer a $100 sneaker voucher to all male and female varsity basketball players at Renton’s three high schools. According to Medzegian, this year’s show was another financial success, despite falling a bit short of expectations in the number of cars participating, something Medzegian said was probably due to a some showers that moved through in the morning, scaring off some collectors, who opted to keep their classic vehicles under cover.

Renton’s ban on fireworks and the city’s education strategy and marketing push was very successful this year in limiting the fire damage caused by fireworks in the city. According to a report before City Council from Fire Chief Mark Peterson, the fire department was very busy on the holiday, but there were zero fire losses this year, unlike surrounding areas where a fireworks ban is not in place. Mayor Denis Law agreed that Renton fared “very very well,” adding that he spent time in the dispatch center on July 4, which was very busy responding to the surrounding towns. “There were fires all over the place,” Law said of Kent and Skyway in particular. “We were very fortunate.” In Renton, the department responded to 141 calls on July 4, well above a typical Saturday’s 40-60 calls. Of those, 100 were fireworks complaints. Peterson said about 50 pounds of fireworks were confiscated and 12 citations totaling $2,460 in fines were written. The Renton fireworks ban has been in place since 2005 and officials were particularly worried this year because of drought conditions that left the entire area tinder-dry. Because of the potential for disaster, the city began reminding residents of the ban and the dangers early, utilizing message boards and public works sings and printing out 2,500 posters and pamphlets, as well as getting the message out through all of the city’s social media platforms. Peterson said the key this year was heavy community involvement, due primarily to concerns about the dry conditions. The chief said the public became “marshals on this,” taking the message to their communities at such a rate the department had to print additional posters. The department also this year implemented a new strategy to respond to fireworks calls, placing three enforcement teams in the parts of the city that last year received the highest fireworks call volume. This year, however, Peterson said the vast majority of calls came from the Highlands so by the end of the evening, all of the response teams were shifted up the hill. Though the July 4 holiday did not include fireworks-related fires, Peterson said the city did not come through completely unscathed. During the period of June 21 through July 7, there were eight fireworks-related brush fires, a Dumpster fire and two structure fires involving a fence and siding on an apartment building that totaled $53,000 in damage.

Sometimes it is hard to believe it’s been this long – and other times it’s hard to believe it’s ONLY been this long – but July marked my second full year as editor of the Renton Reporter. And all in all, I’m pretty pleased with how it went. My fellow Renton Reporter readers, the state of our paper is strong. Since I checked in last year around this time, the Reporter received a second-place General Excellence award from the Washington Newspaper Publisher’s Association. That means only one other paper in our circulation class (the largest) was considered a better overall paper than the one you are reading right now. As editor, I was even more proud to read what the judges had to say. They cited the Renton Reporter’s use of photos and graphics and noted our “strong local coverage” and the way the editorial page dealt with “hot issues.” We in the newsroom strive every week to bring you the best, most complete look at the week’s news, features and information – and we try to do it with some style through photos and graphics – and it was nice to be recognized for our efforts by our fellow newspaper people. In addition to the General Excellence award, I also received a first-place award for “Best General Feature Story, Long” for my “Firefighter for a Day” piece, a firstperson account of a day’s worth of firefighter training and a second-place award in the “Best Government Reporting” category for a story about residents at the Riverbend Mobile Home Park, which was purchased by the county. Judges cited the follow-through to get the personal stories of those affected. Again, I was proud of that one and proud the judges noticed we try to go the extra mile to get to how these stories affect our residents and readers, instead of just giving a quick-hit headline. This past year also found the Renton Reporter in the middle of some important discussions around our city. Over the course of three weeks in January, we put together a series titled “Can Ferguson Happen Here?” Written and reported by reporter Tracey Compton, we went to the police, the administration and community leaders and simply asked the question. What we found through our reporting was that while there are some definite concerns in the community about policing in general and the relationships between the police and the citizens, Renton is actively trying to ensure that events like those do not happen here through a change in use-of-force tactics, as well as a general mindset. That became evident when following the completion of our series and the publication of a column wrapping it all up that questioned some comments made by the [ more EDITOR page 7 ]
Historic drought, toxins put salmon at risk in Washington Water – how much we have and how clean it should be – is on the minds of many these days as the drought rolls on in western Washington and state government remains stalled on updating decades-old, water- quality standards. Tribal insistence on more restrictive salmon fisheries this year has turned out to be the right call as the hottest and driest summer we’ve ever seen continues, threatening salmon throughout western Washington at every stage of their life cycle. With no snowpack, record warm weather and little rain, our rivers and streams are running low, slow and hot. That’s bad news for both hatchery and wild salmon, which depend on plenty of cool water for their survival. Many returning adult salmon died last year before they could reach spawning grounds or a hatchery, while thousands of out-migrating young salmon died before they could reach the ocean. The deaths of those salmon will be felt by all fishermen several years from now when fewer fish return. Water temperatures 70 degrees and higher can be lethal to salmon. Many streams already have reached those temperatures with a lot of summer left. Warm water can also create a thermal barrier that prevents salmon from reaching hatcheries and spawning grounds. In addition, salmon are more susceptible to diseases when water temperatures are high. Salmon are getting some relief from tribal and state hatcheries that use cooler groundwater for incubating and rearing fish. These hatcheries are providing sanctuaries to help salmon survive the Lorraine Loomis

drought and fulfilling their role as gene banks to preserve salmon for the future. The outlook for many tribal fisheries is growing steadily darker as week after week slips by with no improvement in weather conditions. We hope enough salmon will return to our fishing grounds so that we can feed our families and preserve our cultures and communities. It wasn’t easy for the tribes to convince the state co-managers that tougher fishing regulations were needed this year to protect salmon. In fact, the Puget Sound sport-fishing industry was prodding the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to expand fisheries this summer. But salmon management is not a popularity contest and the effects of our drought are getting worse. The treaty tribes in western Washington will continue to insist on the highest level of responsible fisheries management and hatchery operations to ensure all of our children have a future that includes salmon. On the water-quality front, the state Legislature adjourned a triple overtime session in June without approving Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposal for new water quality standards as part of a statewide toxics reduction program. State water-quality standards already are more than 40 years old. The state admits that current standards don’t adequately protect any of us, especially those of us who eat a lot of fish and shellfish. The state has missed every deadline to update the standards as required by the federal Clean Water Act. Inslee’s toxics reduction program is a good idea. It’s a lot easier and cheaper to prevent [ more SALMON page 7]

www.rentonreporter.com [ EDITOR from page 6] then-police guild president, Chief Kevin Milosevich responded with a column of his own condemning the guild president’s comments, which we and many others saw as insensitive. I’m not going to lie, when the city asked for space to respond to the editorial, the column we got was NOT what I was expecting (for the record, we’d have published the column even if it took us to task) and was a nice surprise. Our series was also cited by the mayor in his State of the City this year and helped spur a Teen Summit that brought together community religious leaders, teenagers and police for an honest discussion of race and the use of force by police. It was a great day and we were proud to have been a part of it. Two years ago when I first took over as editor, I said I hoped to “re-boot” the paper and like last year, while I feel that we have had some success, we are still working every week to improve this paper to make it a better experience for you, the reader. After all, this is your paper, telling your story. We are just the stewards of it. With that in mind, we launched a series of new features and ideas. Some caught on, others did not. Last year we added garden columnist Marianne Binetti to the paper and it’s been a welcome addition. I, for one, find something in her column each week that I apply to my own garden or yard. We also saw the return of columnist Carolyn Ossorio and her new “Hot from the Oven!” column, which is showing us some of the tastier spots in the city and offering great recipes and advice. Our Ask A Doctor column also continues to grow, bringing important information about top medical issues, from protecting against the flu to Seasonal Affected Disorder and postpartum depression, as well as the importance of staying hydrated and this week’s column on the dangers of concussions, vitally important information as the fall sports season gets ready to start. But we are not resting on our laurels. We believe we can be better. One of the things we’re starting this month, for example, are new regular internal sections. We began last week with “Entertainment,” which will be published on the first Friday of every month. We’re hoping to give you a look at some of the fun that can be had around Renton in the upcoming month. This week, you see the first of our monthly “Business” sections where we hope to highlight the businesses and issues affecting our business community, as well
as tell you a bit about some of the new businesses opening in the city. Next week, we launch our “Seniors” section, a readership that sometimes gets overlooked but will now be highlighted each month with its own section front. We also have some ideas for a few new features we hope you will help out with. The ideas are “Hidden Renton” and “Ask the Reporter.” With the first, we are looking to discover (or re-discover) some of the unique places, people and shops that make Renton what it is. We’d love to hear your suggestions: What is your favorite little spot in the city and why do people need to know about it? Similarly, we find that we often get phone calls or emails with questions about things going or around Renton, things that may not be news stories, but are still interesting. We know there are some things our readers wonder about in the city but do not have time to research themselves. Please, send us your question. We’ll look into it and publish the answer for you. We are also hoping to continue the “hot issues” that were cited on our editorial pages and we would like to encourage you to write in with concerns, opinions or whatever else is on your mind. We love it when the editorial page becomes a place for discussion and we’d like to see more of that. This year, for example, is an election year and we would like to encourage readers to write in and tell us who they support and why.

[ SALMON from page 6] poisons from ever getting into our waters than to clean them up afterwards. But to be effective, such a program must first be based in a strong rule of law that will drive the compliance and innovation needed to meet those standards. The governor was expected to propose a new set of water-quality standards in early August. If not, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will step in to help. It is important to remember that all natural resources are connected. Water quantity and quality are two sides of the same coin. Both are fundamental to the health of people and salmon.
Protecting and restoring salmon habitat improves the overall health of our watersheds, making them more resistant to drought and able to bounce back more quickly from its effects. To truly protect our water quality and quantity – and to protect and restore the salmon resource – we must continue to work together to restore salmon habitat. At the same time, we should develop strong rules that can support a statewide toxics reduction program with realistic, truly protective water quality standards that are implemented over time.

ASK A DOCTOR: What do I Tips for finding the right need to know about kids flowers for your wedding and concussions?
Are there sports that put my child at a higher risk of concussion? Concussions can occur in many sports, but are most common in high speed contact sports. Football, rugby, hockey and soccer pose the greatest risk. Studies have shown that concussion risk is greater in females than in males playing soccer or basketball.
What should I do if I think my child has had a concussion? It is important that if a concussion is suspected, the child should be removed from play immediately and be evaluated by a licensed healthcare professional. For immediate attention, bring your child to an emergency room or urgent care for an evaluation. If symptoms persist, it is important to followup with your child’s pediatrician or primary care provider. In some cases, you may need to be referred to see a neurologist or sports medicine physician who can provide more specialized care for your child’s concussion. This column is for general information, and any specific questions or concerns regarding this topic should be brought to your physician.

When can my child return to play? A child can return to play when: • All symptoms have resolved, especially after medications have been stopped. • The child has been cleared by a licensed professional trained in managing concussion. The child should avoid any activities that make symptoms worse or increase the risk of a second concussion. The plan should be individualized, so be sure to discuss this plan with your healthcare professional. There is no set time for recovery. There is also no evidence that complete “brain rest” is necessary. There is new evidence that too much rest can actually cause more symptoms in teenagers.
THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER
There is not enough evidence to show different risks by gender for other sports. Once someone has experienced a concussion, he or she is at greater risk of having another one.

and also cold weather, they come in a multitude of colors, shapes and flower forms and can cost half the price of imported roses or orchids. 5. Don’t depend on growing your own flowers. Timing is everything and weather conditions are unpredictable. Just because your pink lilies were in bloom last summer during the month of June does not mean they will flower at the same time next year. Ditto that your hydrangeas may not be the same color from one year to the next. 6. Use potted plants when possible. Lining the bride’s walk down the aisle with pots of cyclamens, mums or hydrangeas can be less expensive and more practical than using cut flowers. Plus you can add the potted plants to your garden or give them away to guests when the event is over. 7. Fabulous foliage can add a lush look. Baskets of ferns made from sword fern fronds, huge leaves from hosta and colorful foliage from heucheras are becoming more popular in wedding bouquets as brides seek to add an original twist to the wedding flowers. Succulents are also being used as cut flower alternatives in arrangements or as potted plants on tables. The more leaves, berries and spiky grasses you add to the mix the less flowers you will need to buy and the more resilient the display will be. 8. Visit Pinterest and become inspired. The Pinterest website is like a bulletin board where you can post your favorite photos of any creative idea and also grab images from other creative people and try something new. Pinterest inspired us to create a “flower wall” using hydrangeas that filled a gold picture frame and also a centerpiece that can only be described as a ‘hydrangea waterfall’ that flowed off the table an onto the floor at the reception site. Pinterest is not just about pretty photos – often you can visit a site with just one click that will share more details and how-to information about the project you see posted on the site. 9. Share the joy by sharing the flowers. After a wedding or large celebration the flower centerpieces can be sent home with guests to enjoy, brought to a church or my personal favorite delivered to a nursing home and given away to house bound residents. When properly cared for cut flowers centerpieces will last for a week to ten days. After that the faded blooms can be recycled into a compost pile. 10. Remember to take a deep breath, inhale the fragrance of flowers and enjoy the day. Flowers are nature’s reminder that the world is a beautiful place and life should be enjoyed – so celebrate.

A concussion is a type of brain injury that can occur when the head hits an object or a moving object strikes the head. Sports-related concussions are a major public health concern, it is estimated that 1.6 to 3.8 million injuries occur each year in the United States. A concussion can cause a multitude of symptoms which include: • Cognitive changes: Poor concentration, slow thinking, memory loss, confusion, loss of consciousness, dazed appearance; • Physical changes: Headache, nausea or vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, dizziness, slurred speech, blurry vision, changes to balance or coordination; • Mood changes: Depression, anxiety, personality changes, trouble controlling emotions; and • Sleep changes: Drowsiness, insomnia, feeling hazy or groggy, frequent awakenings. The symptoms often begin right after injury, but sometimes may not appear until the person starts exercising again. Often, children experience concussion symptoms for much longer compared to adults. Concussions can also occur when the head experiences a sudden impact without being hit directly such as a blow to the neck or upper body.
Flowers belong at weddings and there is a beautiful trend toward outdoor receptions and weddings. Our youngest daughter was married last month and we used hydrangeas from my garden and the gardens of many friends and family to add to the joy of the celebration. In honor of summer brides everywhere, here are a few tips on using fresh flowers in a wedding. 1. Once you know the date of the wedding, talk to a local gardener about what flowers will be in season. Of course you can ship in roses for a winter wedding and even find tulips for a wedding in the early summer but you’ll pay three times the price when you import blooms from the other side of the world. 2. Choose flowers grown by local growers when possible. In Western Washington we are lucky to have farmer’s markets in many communities where local growers will sell direct to the public. Some of the flower growers have farms in Eastern Washington but make the trek over the Cascades every weekend to peddle their petals direct to the consumer. Local florists that specialize in wedding flowers will often buy from local growers when the bride chooses flowers in season. 3. If the bride has her heart set on a certain flower (our daughter really wanted peonies – that were out of season in July) you can go on the internet and find a grower from Alaska or Hawaii and splurge on these flowers for just her bouquet or as an accent flower amidst the less expensive blooms that are in season. Alaska has become a hot spot for wedding peonies as the long hours of daylight and cool summer weather makes the peony crop available almost all summer. Hawaii grows orchids year round and both states have family farms that will ship directly to private homes using ice packs and overnight express. 4. Meet with a florist about what type of flowers hold best in hot and sunny weather. Local florists can suggest flowers that resists wilting and they also have access to special sprays that keep petals from wilting and drying out. Don’t overlook the common mum. Chrysanthemums are not only available all year long but they hold up in heat

Over the course of three nights, vandals shattered 19 windows at the Highlands Library that’s under construction with high-powered BBs or pellets The damage is estimated at about $100,000 and it will take at least a month to reorder the glass and have it shipped and installed. “The library was originally scheduled to open the end of October, but with this vandalism we don’t know how much it will be delayed,” said city spokeswoman Preeti Shridhar. Three large windows were shattered Friday night, followed by 10 windows on Monday and six more on Tuesday night at the library, 2801 N.E. 10th St. “They are shooting until the windows shatter,” Shridhar said. The Renton Police Department will have extra patrols in the area. Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to call the Renton Police Department at 425-430-7500. “Help us catch the vandals,” Shridhar said.

it brings additional residential space to the core, which could mean more people in and about downtown shops and restaurants. “We are excited that Cosmos has selected downtown Renton for its newest project, which is a vital component of our downtown revitalization plans,” Law said in a press release. “Cosmos has designed a beautiful addition to our community, which will include the first new market-rate residential project developed in our downtown core since the recession. “The Lofts at Second and Main will not only offer important new housing opportunities and amenities for urban living, but also provide modern commercial space for new businesses to locate downtown,” he said. Also included in the final project will be a re-alignment of the intersection at Second Street and Main Avenue that will create a more traditional, square-shaped intersection and will include a new pedestrian area in front of the former Afghan Cuisine building that burned earlier this summer. In addition, the city plans to convert Main Avenue from oneway to two-way traffic this fall. The project has been in the pipeline for several years, gaining approval in late 2014 under the name “Renton Heritage Apartments.”

regular scheduling. The lighting will enhance previous upgrades at the park, which included the addition of synthetic fields in 2012. The project involves replacing the older “Musco” lighting to the latest generation LED lights. The retrofit will also reduce the amount of poles by about half.
Better visibility is coming to sports fields at King County’s Petrovitsky Park in the unincorporated community of Fairwood, nestled between Kent, Renton and Maple Valley, thanks to an LED lighting upgrade that will mean state-of-the-art illumination for field users and less glare for park neighbors. “By converting to LED lighting, everyone wins,” King County Executive Dow Constantine said in a press release. “This upgrade will bring better visibility for players, less light pollution for neighbors, and cost savings for the public, while helping King County meet its goal to be more sustainable.” “We are excited about bringing this new technology to ‘Petro Park’ because not only will it mean less shine and reflection from the field lights, there will be energy savings from these fixtures,” said King County Council member Reagan Dunn, whose district includes the park. Located at 16400 Petrovitsky Rd. S.E., Renton, in the Fairwood area of unincorporated King County, Petrovitsky Park is an 88-acre park with four baseball fields and soccer fields, a playground, and picnic areas. King County Parks estimates the retrofit will result in a 68 percent reduction in energy use for the lighting system, or about $9,500 in annual savings. The project will require closure of the sports fields Aug. 17 to 31 as crews install 280945_4.8_x_7 8/4/15 2:25 PM Page 1 and test the new lights.

[ PRIMARY from page 1] Clifford-Visker had 39 percent of the vote as of Tuesday, Montgomery had 36 percent of the vote and Block had 25 percent of the vote. Block was appointed by other commissioners to replace former commissioner Dr. Aaron Heide, who was removed from the board for missing meetings. Heide is now working in Reno, Nev. Contacted by the Renton Reporter, Block said he had offered his services to the people of the district and “that’s OK” if they didn’t want them. He was told by many people the election was really a commentary on Valley Medical Center CEO Rich Roodman and the strategic alliance between the hospital district and UW Medicine. Lawton and Clifford-Visker had each expressed disappointment with Roodman’s continued employment and the strategic alliance in the primary election Voters’ Pamphlet. Block pointed out in the interview that the two candidates weren’t “being completely honest with the voters” because the alliance agreement can’t be revised until 2016 and Roodman has a contract for the next two years. The vote count is continuing; the election results will be certified on Aug. 18.

Stryker Phd running for Mile repeat The 80th running of the $200,000 Longacres Mile is this Sunday at Emerald Downs in Auburn. BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
When Stryker Phd takes to the track on Sunday to defend his Longacres Mile title, he’ll have more than just jockey Leslie Mawing on board. The 6-year-old gelding – owned by Larry and Mona Hour and trained by Larry Ross - will be carrying the hopes of the Washingtonbred Thoroughbred community on his back as he vies to repeat against a field stocked “His style is he likes with gifted invaders. when there are Last year targets in front of him. His heart gets Stryker Phd bigger and bigger. turned in a That’s just his style; magnificent last-to-first he prefers those finish in the targets in front of 79th runhim.” Jockey Leslie ning of the Mawing on last year’s $200,000 Longacres Mile champion Grade 3 Mile, Stryker Phd catching and passing Oregon-bred Boyett to win by a half-length. In that race, Stryker Phd flirted with a track record, posting a 1 minute, 33.67 second time, just off the 1:33 set by Sky Jack in 2003. This year the field is thick with talented competition – 11 from Kentucky, four from California and nine graded stakes winners. Top among them are: the Bob Baffert-trained Bayern, winner of the 2014 Breeder’s Cup Classic (Grade 1); Sahara Sky, winner of the 2013 Metropolitan Handicap (G1); and Warren’s Veneda, winner of the 2015 Santa Margarita (G1). For Stryker Phd and Mawing, as talented as the field is, it’s just more horses to chase down. “He’s got a closing style,” Mawing

Stryker Phd and jockey Leslie Mawing close from last place to win the 2014 $200,000 Longacres Mile (G3) in 1:33.67. The winner, then a 5-year-old Washington-bred gelding by Bertrando-Strking Scholar, is trained by Larry Ross for owners Jim and Mona Hour of Bellevue. REED PALMER, Emerald Downds said. “His style is he likes when there are targets in front of him,” he continued. “His heart gets bigger and bigger. That’s just his style; he prefers those targets in front of him. No race is easy. If they were, we’d all be winning every time. But as long as there is a lot of speed, which there should be, there are always going to be frontrunners. And as long as they are there, we’re going to run a good race.” Stryker Phd comes into the race carrying a six-race winning streak, including a six-length rout in the Mount Rainier Handicap this past month. But as good as he ran in last year’s Mile, Mawing – who has ridden the horse for Ross since last

season – says he’s even better now. “He’s definitely big, and he’s bigger this year,” Mawing said, “It’s just getting on him. He’s very confident and very quirky. It was really just a matter of getting along with him and finding the right rider. You need a little patience with him. If you get impatient, he’ll pull his tricks with you and freeze up and back up. So you have to be a little patient. I guess I was just the right fit with him.” Mawing continued: “In the mornings I’ll backtrack him, and he’ll get bored really easily, so if you fight him too much, he’s going to be more of a challenge, should I say. I know how far to push him and when to let up. ‘He’s 1,200 pounds, and I’m 115, so I’m
not going to win that fight when it comes to it. So I just try to go along with it.” In addition to praise from most track insiders, Stryker Phd has become a fan favorite, even boasting his own Facebook page. But none of that really matters. It all comes down to what happens on the track, and according to Mawing, Stryker Phd is ready to defend his crown and become the first horse to repeat in the Mile at Emerald Downs. “I like our chances,” he said. “I’m 150-percent confident in myself and his ability.” The 80th running of the $200,000 (G3) Longacres Mile is this Sunday at Emerald Downs in Auburn.
Prime Engine wins Derby FOR THE REPORTER
Prime Engine showed up with his AGame Sunday at Emerald Downs. Racing with blinkers for the first time, Prime Engine overtook Betrbegone into the stretch and romped to a six-length victory in the $65,000 Emerald Downs Derby for 3-year-old colts and gelding. Ridden by Joe Steiner at 122 pounds, Prime Engine ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:47.54 and paid $3.60, $2.80 and $2.60. Mike Puhich is the winning trainer for owner Dr. Mark Dedomenico of Redmond.
Prime Engine’s winning time was .57 seconds faster than Belle Hill’s time in Saturday’s Washington Oaks for 3-yearold fillies. He also is only the third betting favorite and the first since Gallon in 2008 to win the Emerald Downs Derby. Betrbegone, ridden by Leonel CamachoFlores at 122 pounds, held second and paid $3.80 and $3.40. Winner of last month’s Seattle Slew Handicap, Betrbegone led through fractions of :23.11, :46.51 and 1:10.22, and led into the last turn before yielding command to Prime Engine.

Auburn woman caught in $7,000 scam The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
A 29-year-old Auburn woman was caught in a scam in which an agent of a Federal Reserve Bank told her she was the winner of $7,000. She refused to give the caller her creditcard number, but she contacted someone else who would finish processing her award. She sent a money order for $260 as a security deposit. A bank agent refused to give her his information until the process was complete, which would happen when she sent in another $490. She provided her bank account information so that the agent could deposit the $7,000. She called the agent, who told her she would need to first pay 10 percent of the prize money to cover taxes. At that point on July 23, she called police. She was told to watch her account for any unauthorized withdrawals and to notify her bank. She turned over the contact information for the individuals who had asked her for money. GUNSHOTS FIRED: A 47-year-old homeless man heard six gunshots just before 1 a.m. July 24 coming from a fleeing
sedan on westbound Southwest Langston Street, then two more gunshots immediately after. The second round of gunfire apparently involved a Dodge Charger and a beat-up Honda Civic-type four-door sedan that were fleeing on southbound Hardie Avenue Southwest. It appeared the Charger was trying to lose the red sedan. Officers found two 9mm shell casings on Southwest Langston, just west of Hardie Avenue Southwest. HIT WITH ROCKS: A 26-year-old Renton man doesn’t want to press charges against two men – if they are found – who threw rocks at him and hit him July 20 on Wells Avenue South. He was bleeding from the nose and mouth and had several marks on his face. The men also hit a car with a can of something. The victim confronted the men when they got in his face. They attacked and he defended himself. PURSE STOLEN: A 25-year-old Kent woman stole a purse from the Highlands’ Safeway customer-service counter July 31 because she thought it was found money.

I AM A KLEPTOMANIAC: A 43-yearold Kent man admitted he’s a kleptomaniac – and knew we would get caught stealing personal-care products from Wal-mart on Rainier Avenue. The suspect, along with his two backpacks and his bicycle, were in the lossprevention office July 21 when an officer arrived. He admitted he had methamphetamine and a pipe in one of the bags. Once at the police cruiser, the suspect verbally assisted the officer find the drugs and the pipe, which was covered with a white residue, in the backpack. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of third-degree theft and drug possession. NEIGHBORHOOD GUNFIRE: Four reports of gunfire made early on July 17 in the area around the 16500 block of 120th
Avenue Southeast. The residents of one residence were jolted away by the sounds as many as three gunshots. One resident found a bullet hole in the garage. A bullet went through a metal bucket inside the garage. It’s unlikely the family was targeted because of the number of reports at about the same time, roughly 12:30 a.m. OFF METH-FREE: An officer doing a welfare check the morning of July 23 at a gas station on Rainier Avenue South found two men apparently sleeping, their car running and in reverse. No crime had been committed and they were free to go – until an officer noticed a small baggie of while crystal powder sitting on the center console between the two men. The man in the driver’s seat admitted it was methamphetamine and he turned it over the officer. Because the Police Department was on emergency minimum staffing that morning, another officer took over the call so the other officer could catch up on paperwork. Because the meth was between the two men, the officer couldn’t determine who actually possessed it. So the case was filed as information only. Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425255-3484, ext. 5150.
