Hazen teacher fired for 2006 sexual contact with 14-year-old Teacher was fired prior to the school year after victim came forward in August BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
A Renton School District teacher was fired this summer after an investigation revealed a sexual contact with a 14-year-old student in 2006. According to district spokesman Randy Matheson, the incident was brought to the district’s attention in August by a female
former student who told the district about the incident at Dimmit Middle School nearly a decade ago. A letter from Interim Superintendent Art Jarvis was sent to parents this week informing them of the incident. After talking with the young woman, now in her early 20s, Matheson said the district launched an internal investigation which revealed enough evidence to terminate the teacher and forward the information to police. The teacher, who had been with the district about 10 years, formerly worked as language arts teacher at two middle schools and at Hazen High School.
“We found enough to have grounds to terminate,” Matheson said Tuesday. Matheson also said the district believes this was a one-time incident and not a pattern. “We have no reason to believe there were other students involved,” he said. Police last week informed the district they had completed their investigation and would be forwarding their results to the prosecutor for possible charging. Though the teacher has been identified by the district, the Renton Reporter is withholding his name until when and if charges are filed.
Matheson also said they are open to hearing from other students and even though the incident occurred 10 years ago, they reacted immediately after it was brought to their attention. In his letter, Jarvis reiterated the District’s commitment to keeping schools safe and said even though the allegations are a decade old, counselors would be provided to address student and staff concerns. “I’m deeply saddened by this breach of trust,” Jarvis wrote in his letter. “Not only was a child victimized, but educational professionals across the system and the state get tainted by such a crime.”
Renton Hill hit with rash of car prowls BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Police are investigating a sharp increase in car prowls in the Renton Hill neighborhood that has residents calling a community meeting to search for answers. According to police, the numbers are slightly up over last year, but there has been a large increase in reports there have been 12 car prowls in the historic neighborhood since Sept. 9, including nine since Sept. 25. “It’s ramping up pretty well,” said Renton Police spokesman Commander David Leibman. According to Leibman, there have only been 14 prowls in the neighborhood since June, so 12 in the last month is a major increase. “Lately it’s been kind of crazy,” agreed resident and Renton Hill Neighborhood Association President Bob Benedetti, adding that traditionally his neighborhood has been very quiet and safe. According to Leibman the locations of the crimes are spread pretty evenly over the Hill and none of the prowls are anything too unusual, but rather run-of-mill car prowls. Benedetti said that thieves are taking laptops, bags, even toys that were [ more PROWLS page 8 ]

ith only one contested city race on the ballot, it’s been a quiet election season in Renton. Though the mayor and five city council seats are up for election this year, only the seat being vacated by Greg Taylor, Position 4, is being contested. The incumbents Mayor Denis Law and
Councilmembers Don Persson, Ed Prince and Ruth Perez are running unopposed. In the one other open race, for Council Position 3, incumbent Marcie Palmer’s name is on the ballot, but she announced this summer that she decided against another term and would not be campaigning, meaning Carol Ann Witschi is
RYAN MCIRVIN
My name is Ryan McIrvin and I am running to represent you on Renton City Council. My years of experience in government and commitment to community service have earned me the support of our elected officials and community leaders to represent Renton as a member of the city council. I am proud to be part of this community and want to continue the good work started by the leaders who came before me to keep Renton moving forward in a positive direction. Renton is growing and changing, and there are many challenges and obstacles we will have to face. I want to keep Renton safe and secure by providing the resources necessary for police and fire to maintain and improve safety in our neighborhoods. Our police and firefighters put their lives on the line every day in Ryan McIrvin order to keep us safe and our budget should be prioritized to give them the tools and resources to effectively enforce our laws and keep our citizens safe. I want to keep Renton affordable and connected by promoting policies that facilitate an adequate supply of affordable housing near employment and transit hubs. Due to the Great Recession, the supply of affordable housing has become increasingly constrained while incomes have failed to keep pace with the increased cost of living. As a result, people are commuting farther than ever and traffic congestion in the Puget Sound region is at an all-time high. We will need to make investments in our transportation system and infrastructure if we want to keep moving. I want to keep Renton vibrant and prosperous by growing an economic climate that allows our local small businesses to thrive downtown and throughout the city. In addition to our larger employers in Renton such as Ikea, Wizards of the Coast, and Boeing, we are very fortunate to have many successful small businesses as well. With the recovery in full swing, we need to capitalize on the economic opportunity before us and attract more quality small businesses to our downtown core and neighborhood hubs, so that Renton residents can continue to shop and buy local. My wife Stefanie and I own a home in the Cascade Neighborhood where we are raising our 1-year-old daughter Molly. We chose to put our roots down here because Renton is a great place to live and raise a family. As a parent of a young child, I am committed to working to make our community an even better for kids by further improving our schools, parks, sidewalks, and trails. As a proud Eagle Scout, I believe strongly in volunteering and giving back to my community. I have served on the City of Renton Human Services Advisory Committee since 2013, and currently serve as vice-chair. I am also a member of the Next Curve, Renton Historical Society, and supporter of Renton’s Unleashed Furry Friends (RUFF). I am honored and humbled to have received numerous endorsements from Renton community leaders and organizations including: Renton Firefighters IAFF Local 864; Mayor Denis Law; Councilmembers Ed Prince, Armondo Pavone, Don Persson, Randy Corman, and King Parker (Former); Renton School Board President Pam Teal; State Rep. Steve Bergquist; and State Sen. Bob Hasegawa. Renton has a lot to offer its citizens and we truly are ahead of the curve. With strong leadership, Renton will continue to set the standard for our region and beyond. I ready to lead and willing to serve. That’s why I am running for city council and why I am asking for your vote.
MONIQUE TAYLOR-SWAN
My name is Monique Taylor-Swan and I’m running for Renton City Council Position 4. I have lived in Renton for over 7 years. I lived here before as a child while I attended Renton High School. My family had to move away, but Renton always held a spot in my heart. When I started to raise my own family and the opportunity to return to Renton was possible I did. I’m running because my kids go to school here, from elementary to high school. Renton can be a great place to raise your family and for them to grow up and raise their own families. As a board member of my union I fought to raise the minimum wages in Seatac and Seattle. I feel that a worker in Renton deserves to make a living wage and have paid sick leave so they can care for sick child or a parent. I spend my days caring for seniors, people with disabilities and with young people. In Renton we don’t have enough Monique Taylor-Swan services for the seniors here. We certainly don’t have enough services to meet the need for our young people. By bringing better education, summer jobs programs, encouraging opportunities and engaging activities for the youth Renton will be more Future Focused. Renton is an increasingly diverse city and diversity is one of our strengths, but we don’t have a City Council that fully represents our community. I want to make sure all of our residents are heard at City Hall. I strongly believe we are better together and that we have a wonderful community that binds us together and that together we can make the Future Focused for Renton an inviting and inclusive community for all. I would like to help bring more access to jobs with economic growth and employment opportunities in the community. Small businesses and new businesses need help and support to be successful. I believe there are opportunities for the City Council to make that difference and help them be successful. I would like to provide more community development in resources and safety services for seniors and people who have vulnerable disabilities. I would like to provide more opportunities and programs for our youth, our seniors, and our businesses Renton will become a better community to live in. I am working for the Renton of tomorrow… I am Future Focused for Renton. I am proud to have been endorsed by many local leaders and groups, including the King County Democrats (dual endorsement), SEIU 775 Healthcare NW, IBEW Local 46, NARAL Pro-Choice WA, the African-American Black Caucus, King County Labor Council AFL-CIO, SEIU 1199 NW, Teamsters Local 117, Renton City Councilman Greg Taylor, State Rep. Zack Hudgins, and State Senators Pramila Jayapal and Cyrus Habib. My message is simple: Future Focused for Renton. It’s more than a campaign slogan. It means focusing on a future for our young people and our seniors. It is a Future where all residents of Renton have adequate and affordable housing; workable transportation; accessible healthcare; and more jobs and economic development. Please stand with me and vote Future Focused for Renton. I ask for your vote.

Two positions contested on hospital district commission dradford@rentoinreporter.com
Two seats on the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Commissioners are up for election in the Nov. 3 general election, including one held by longtime commissioner Carolyn Parnell. The other race will determine who will replace Dr. Aaron Heide on the commission. Heide was removed from the board for missing meetings; he now holds a new position at a Nevada medical center. Running for Heide’s Position 4 seat are Savannah Clifford-Visker of Renton and Lawton Montgomery of Kent. Clifford-Visker and Montgomery were the
top-two vote getters in the August primary, besting Dr. Terence Block who had been appointed to replace Heide. Clifford-Visker won the primary, with 38.78 percent of the vote. Montgomery received 35.76 percent of the vote. Commission Position 2 Dr. M. Chris Monson is running against incumbent Parnell of Renton for her Position 2 seat, to which she was elected in 1997. Monson, a graduate of Kentridge High School who earned his medical degree at the University of Washington Medical School, is a board-certified ophthalmologist who practices with fellow eye surgeon Dr. Paul Joos at Valley Eye and Laser Center. Joos is also
a member of the hospital board. In his statement in the voters pamphlet, Monson wrote that he’s running for commissioner “because taxpayers who support Valley have lost their right to elect the board that runs the hospital.” He was referring to a strategic alliance between UW Medicine and the Public Hospital District No. 1 in which operations of Valley Medical Center are overseen by an appointed Board of Trustees separate from the elected Board of Commissions, which now oversees the buildings and property taxes of the district. The commissioners also sit on the Board of Trustees. The strategic alliance
has survived numerous court challenges. The state Supreme Court opted not to review an appellate-court ruling that the alliance is legal. Parnell, who is serving as commission president this year, is the only current commissioner who voted to form the alliance, which she wrote in the voters pamphlet is bringing “worldclass medicine to our neighborhoods and lower health-care costs.” Monson indicated in the voters pamphlet that he would ask the legislature to decide whether the voters should have final say over whether an appointed board or elected board should oversee Valley Medical. Parnell, an author and
retired educator, has a bachelor’s degree in Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship and MBA in Business Administration/ International Business and Human Resource Management. Commission Position 4 Visker-Clifford and Montgomery both raise concerns in their statements in the voters pamphlet about the strategic alliance and the pay of Valley’s CEO Rich Roodman. Visker of Renton is a graduate of Liberty High School and earned a bachelor’s degree at Central Washington University. She’s an early learning teacher in the Renton School District. Montgomery of Kent is a graduate of Spanaway High

In the voters pamphlet, Visker-Clifford wrote that she would replace Roodman, hire more nurses and pay them more, and make the people of the hospital district her No. 1 priority. In his statement in the voters pamphlet, Montgomery wrote that he’s running for hospital commissioner “because like you and your neighbors, I am very upset control of Valley Medical Center was transferred to trustees appointed by UW Medicine rather than the commissioners “we the people” elect.” He wrote he also supports a legislative effort that gives the voters the power to approve or reject the alliance with UW Medicine.

Renton motorcycle officer injured in accident with car BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
A Renton police officer is at Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries following an accident Monday in which the motorcycle he was driving was hit by a turning vehicle. Clarence Tolliver, 44,
has serious injuries, but they are not considered life-threatening, according to police. According to police, Tolliver has several broken bones. including his shoulder, arm and ankle. He underwent several hours of surgery on Tuesday and
had more scheduled for Wednesday. Tolliver was responding to an in-progress burglary call and was traveling southbound on Lind Avenue in the city’s industrial section at about 12:15 p.m. Monday. According to Sgt. Craig
Most Insurances accepted
Sjolin, Tolliver was in the right lane and was passing a car in the left lane that was preparing to make a left tun onto S. 19th Street. A second car, a Subaru, was headed northbound on Lind and was also trying to make a left turn on to South 19th. As Tolliver passed through the intersection, the northbound car turned and struck him, sending him over the hood of the other vehicle. According to Sjolin, witnesses heard Tolliver say “no” just before the car hit him. It is not currently known if Tolliver had his lights and sirens on at the time of the accident, but Sjolin said that judging by his destination and a brief look at the bike, they believe his lights were on. Sjolin said it was a “terribly hard hit” that broke the forks on the motorcycle. Sjolin called the event a “tragic accident” and said it was unlikely charges would be filed against the driver.

● Q U O T E O F N O T E : “I am deeply saddened by this breach of trust. Not only was a child victimized, but educational professionals across the system and the state get tainted by such a crime..“ Renton School District Superintendent Art Jarvis on a Hazen teacher being fired for sexual contact with a student in 2006
Let’s work together to stop bullying October is not only the month to celebrate ghouls and goblins on Halloween, it’s the month to acknowledge one of the most pervasive and negative social behaviors among children – the act of bullying. According to stopbullying.gov, the definition of bullying is, “unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated over time.” Bullying can take many forms. The most common is probably teasing and/ or name calling. But it can also include spreading rumors or embarrassing someone in public. It can be something physical, like tripping someone, spitting on them, or pinching them. But it can also be leaving someone out of a game or party on purpose, thereby embarrassing them or hurting their feelings. It can even come in the form of extortion or the stealing of one’s possessions. And in the 21st Century, cyber bullying has become a very real thing. The sad truth is that bullying is only reported to adults one in every three cases. Why don’t more kids report it? The act of bullying can make both the child who is bullied and the children who witness it feel helpless because they fear a backlash from the child who did the bullying. Being bullied is often embarrassing and something the child doesn’t want his/ her parents to know. Often kids who are bullied are already feeling isolated, so they may feel there is no one who will step in and help. Peer pressure and peer respect is also a strong element. Kids don’t want to be seen as a tattletale or may feel the fear of rejection if they tell. How can a parent tell if their child is being bullied? Look for unexplained injuries, lost or torn clothing or possessions, sudden complaints of frequent headaches or feeling sick, feigning illness, a decline in grades, avoiding social situations at school, or trouble sleeping. Studies have shown that bullying is not a rite of passage or just a normal part of growing up. Children who were bullied, or were themselves the bully, are at a higher risk of suffering from depression, anxiety, panic disorders and antisocial personality disorders as they get older. In the most extreme cases, it has the potential to lead to acts of violence or even suicide. So what can we do? Tell your child that if he/she sees someone being bullied, don’t encourage it by watching. Tell them to eliminate the audience by leaving the scene and then telling a trustworthy adult. If it feels safe, encourage your child to disrupt the situation, perhaps by Lynn Bohart

OPINION
[6] October 30, 2015
[ more BOHART page 8 ]
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sheriff supports Prop. 1 When we can give children the opportunity to lead better lives, we should seize it. We have that chance in this year’s general election by voting to support King County Proposition No. 1, the Best Starts for Kids levy. We hear a lot about reducing crime. Proposition 1 will do just that. When we invest in kids early, they are much less likely to end up in jail or prison later in life. I know from experience—and from research—that investments in programs that put our kids on the right track are some of the most powerful crime reduction tools at our disposal. Proposition 1, which would cost the average homeowner in King County just over $1 per week, will make a big difference in children’s lives and in our community. Half of the proceeds raised each year will be devoted to proven programs for children up to age five – the years in which research tells us the brain lays the foundation for later health, behavior and learning. Another 35 percent of funds raised will go toward help and intervention for young people during their school age years. The experiences young people are exposed to during these years and their ability to succeed in school and make smart life choices can have a profound impact on the ultimate direction of their lives. Today, children who are disadvantaged by poverty and other circumstances are far more likely to miss out on the early education, mentoring and support that many young people need to overcome difficult life circumstances. Our communities will be far stronger if kids from all backgrounds have the support they need to grow up to become not only productive members of society, but the leaders of tomorrow as well. Proposition 1 will fund that support and enable the screening, assistance and intervention programs that give young people the help they need – and decrease the mental health and addiction problems that challenge them down the road. By the time kids get to the criminal justice
system, a lot of damage has been done, and reversing course is costly and much less effective. The Best Starts for Kids Levy can and will give thousands of children now and in the future a better opportunity to grow up healthy, succeed in school and lead a quality life. The kids of today and tomorrow are indeed our hope for a brighter future, and they deserve the best opportunity to succeed.
John Urquhart, King County Sheriff
Boys and Girls Club urges Prop. 1 passage Each year, families rely on Boys & Girls Clubs to provide a safe, positive place for more than 17,000 King County kids. We believe in their physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being. Closing the opportunity gap, improving grades, reducing high school drop-out rates, and teaching kids to see themselves as learners is crucial. Our programs also reduce juvenile crime rates and instill an attitude of community engagement. Best Starts for Kids, King County Proposition 1, is a critical tool to support these goals. Best Starts for Kids funding will benefit youth development programs and our community by investing in the following: • Strategies focusing on children under age five and pregnant women, such as home visits for new parents and their children. • Strategies focusing on children and youth age 5-24, such as early intervention to prevent teen depression and substance abuse. • Creating safe and healthy communities, such as increasing access to healthy, affordable food and expanding economic opportunities and access to affordable housing. • Creating a youth and family homelessness prevention initiative modeled on a successful pilot implemented by organizations serving survivors of domestic violence.

www.rentonreporter.com the delivery of services and programs for children and youth. This will ensure Best Starts for Kids strategies are tailored for children from every background. The lack of early support for children results in costly interventions later in life, and incarceration is the most costly and least effective intervention. Safe, healthy communities reinforce a child’s early development and provide a fair chance at success, regardless of where they live or their family income. The proposed levy would affect property owners minimally each year compared to the good it can do. Not only will this levy help our children, it is a program for continued economic growth because it will help us nurture the problem solvers and innovators our communities need. We wish to inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. It takes all of us to ensure children and teens are healthy, safe, and ready to learn. Public investment is required to make this happen. We urge people to vote YES on King County Prop. 1 by election day. Calvin L. Lyons, President/CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of King County
Witschi is the right choice Carol Ann Witschi has earned our votes. My family and I have lived in Renton for generations and have always paid close attention to our local elections. This year, we are once more grateful for the caliber of candidates running for City Council. Specifically, I would like to share my thoughts regarding Council Position No. 3 candidate, Carol Ann Witschi. She and I are both on the Board of a local service group and I have experienced first-hand her approachability, tenacity, curiosity and commitment to Renton. As a Human Resources consultant, Carol Ann has a professional maturity that allows her to listen to many different viewpoints in an open and respectful manner. As a mother of two young children, she sets an example by contributing her time and talents toward a hopeful future for our community. Carol Ann has taken
nothing for granted in this election. She rolled up her sleeves, demonstrated her solid work ethic and made it her mission to connect with and listen to as many voices in our community as possible during her five months of canvassing, picnicking and doorbelling. Carol Ann won’t be elected by default because she has earned and deserves every one of your votes. We are truly excited to have Carol Ann join the Renton City Council and we know that she will work as hard for our city as she did to get there. Angelina Benedetti, Renton
mia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training program. Over the course of several months we trained for the Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon while raising dollars to help fund blood cancer research for better treatments and hopefully one day a cure. Distance running takes dedication, commitment, and a positive attitude. I have no doubt that Ryan will take a similar approach to public office and go the distance for Renton. Please join me in voting for Ryan McIrvin for Renton City Council on Nov. 3. Cesar Bernal, Renton
McIrvin will go Another month, the distance for still no clean-up Renton Ninety days since the Ryan McIrvin has a good heart. He has to because he keeps running marathons. I first met Ryan while participating in the Leuke-
out walls and a boondoggle of twisted aluminum, conduit, electric wires, piles of shattered glass and scorched kitchen tools, among ordinary trash. To add insult to injury, two shaggy men were seen furtively carrying a huge machine part from the lot toward Jones Park just last weekend. Why not get some salvage benefit since many of the doors that were blocked with plywood on July 24 have been ripped off and cast aside and are invitingly open?
New trash is accumulating in the lot as a plastic trash container with fresh trash was dumped recently along with discarded sofa cushions. Meanwhile the east entrance to historic downtown Renton looks like a bombed out street in the Middle East. This situation brings to mind how long it took the City to do anything about the gaping hole/weed patch left between St. Charles Place and Common Grounds for months following the 2009
fire at Wells and Third. Other municipalities, when cleanup requests are ignored, have the enabling statutes that allow the municipality to clean up nuisance properties, especially those affecting public safety like this one after putting a contractors lien on the property for the charges. Owner can’t do much with a property until the lien has been satisfied. Will they act now or continue to do nothing? Karl Forister, Renton

saying something like, “Your mom’s here, you have to go.” Children can set a good example by not bullying others. They can reach out to someone who has been bullied to let them know they are not alone. And always encourage them to participate in school anti-bullying projects. Thousands of children will dress up this year as a ghoul or goblin for Halloween. And it’s all in good fun. But frankly, bullies don’t need masks or makeup to scare others. They are frightening enough all on their own. This year, have a conversation with your children. We can all help to stop bullying if we talk about it, keep our eyes and ears open, and report it when we see it. There are real-life consequences if we don’t – and they can be worse than any horror movie shown on a Halloween night. Lynn Bohart is the executive director of the Renton Community Foundation.

Ida (Sieg) von Jouanne Ida (Sieg) von Jouanne, 77, went to be with the Lord on October 26, 2015, surrounded by loved ones. Ida was born August 3, 1938, to Helene and Johann Sieg, in Lithuania. The family lived on a farm with their grandparents until World War II led them to flee to Germany. Ida met her husband Rudy through music, where Rudy played the trumpet with the local church group. They were married January 12, 1957, and at the beginning of this year they celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary. Rudy and Ida started their married lives together in Canada, but the cold was too harsh for Ida. Rudy joined Boeing, relocating to Renton, WA, moving into a new house in the Renton Highlands, and made that their home for 55 years until Ida suffered a stroke in March 2014. Ida loved the neighborhood kids, and always provided food, fun and a home away from home atmosphere. After their kids were in school, Ida worked for the Renton School District at the Hazen Swimming Pool, registering all the local kids for swim lessons. Ida was active in the Greater Renton Swim Club and Orca Aquatics, coordinating fundraising events at the Kingdome and Husky Stadium concessions. She was trustworthy and great with names and numbers. She was kind and generous to everyone. Ida donated money to many charities, and funded a child and her family in Honduras for several years. Ida is survived by her husband Rudy, four siblings (Ewald, Edith, Erna, Lydia), their four children (Henry, Roger, Iris, Annette) and nine grandchildren (Daniel, Christopher, Stephanie, Jennifer, Traci, Scott, Sydney, Naiya, Luke). A service will be held at the Evergreen Washelli funeral home in Bothell, 18224, 103rd NE, at 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 31st. 1446717

left in a car. “Anything that’s grabbable,” he said. Residents are encouraged to remove valuable items from their vehicles at night and to always lock their car doors. “Never leave anything in your car you wouldn’t want to get stolen,” Leibman said. Benedetti said there has also been an increase in other thefts, such as thefts of packages from porch and warned that recently, a UPS truck was seen being “stalked” by a car full of people watching the deliveries. Both Benedetti and Leibman encouraged residents to stay vigilant and report any unusual activity to the police. “If you see something, say something,” Benedetti said. “Make the call.” “You’re never bothering the police by calling 911,” Leibman agreed. A community meeting to discuss the increase in car prowls has been scheduled for 7 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Downtown Library. Until then, Benedetti is encouraging all Renton Hill residents to keep their eyes open and engage with their neighbors to make sure everyone is on the same page. “If you want real change in your neighborhood, you have to be a participant,” Benedetti said. “The more people who are a part of this, the better the system works.”
Police seeking luring suspect Renton police are warning parents in the 120th Avenue Southeast and Petrovitsky Road area to be on the lookout after a pair of child-luring incidents last week. According to police, at around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 21 and 22, an Hispanic male suspect driving a late 90s white Acura or Toyota Camry followed a 7-year-old girl after she exited her school bus near the intersection of 120th. During the second incident, the girl’s mother actually heard the male suspect yelling at the victim, “Hey, little girl! Get in the car!” The suspect did not exit his vehicle in either incident. According to the mother, the suspect vehicle had a long scratch down the driver’s side and the interior was full of stuff up to the windows in both the passenger and rear seat areas. According to the 7-year-old victim, the suspect is described as a Hispanic male in his early 20s with a heavier build, bushy eyebrows, a mustache and an unknown tattoo on the front of his neck near the collar bone. The suspect was last seen wearing a black zip-up hooded sweatshirt with some type of print on the front that looked like a person, a blue shirt and a “basketball” hat. If you have any information on this suspect or witness a similar incident, call the Renton Police Department at 425-430-7500.

It’s just not Halloween without homemade Caramel apples many adults, outside of a circus, do you see taking gigantic bites from a caramel apple? Last year around this time of year, I splurged and bought a “gourmet” caramel apple the size of Jupiter on a stick in downtown Seattle. It looked nothing like the golden goody of my childhood, but it was gourmet, it had to be the best, right? It was coated to the max with layers and layers of chocolate, white chocolate, marshmallows, and peanut toppings. The first bite felt more like chomping into a jaw breaker instead of the dreamy caramely softness. How could that monstrosity possibly deliver on the childhood memory I was craving? It couldn’t. Which is why I love making caramel apple pops; It’s the same concept without all the work. Well, there’s still work making the homemade caramel sauce, but it’s a family fun thing and the kids love to scoop out the little apple balls and dip them into homemade caramel with little sticks. Or, dip the whole apple and dump on toppings. Either way, celebrate Halloween in style this year with my caramel apple recipe this year! (Please see Page 13 for recipe.)

I was bantering the other day with my husband, Paul, about the idea of offering out homemade candy to trickor-treaters, specifically, caramel apples. He thought I was being ridiculous. I thought I was kind of being ridiculous. So many things have changed the way we parent, but it seems like Halloween candy has stayed exactly the same since the urban legend of razor blades and pins in candy apples. Which is ironic because there has never been one documented case of razor blades in Halloween candy, ever. For me, Halloween ain’t Halloween without that caramel apple, (not the weird looking bright red one, it’s all about the creamy, dreamy camel-brown soft one), The caramel apples were invented many years after the bright red, cinnamon candy apple, by Kraft Foods employee Dan Walker in the 1950s when experimenting with excess caramels from Halloween sales; he simply melted them down, and added apples. Which, admittedly, is kind of a boring origin story for one of my favorite childhood treats. A caramel apple was a special treat because unlike a Snickers or a KitKat walking around with it was something special. It meant that you were either at the Puyallup Fair or a mom or a Nana had to make it for you. Eating a caramel apple (preferably around a gang of kids without a caramel apple) was an event. It was something you sat down and put your whole body into it. It makes me smile when I think of how I would turn my head to the side for the initial bite that got everything started, digging my eye teeth into that sweet, camel-colored gooey, softness and continuing through to the crisp crunchy Granny Smith apple. Of course, there was that sticky string that traced across your cheek, maybe you’d wipe it away with your sleeve, maybe you wouldn’t. Chomping the mixture of tart apple with salty caramel that cut the perfect balance of sweet and sour. Delicious!
These days, however, I don’t want to eat an apple on a stick. That probably sounds a little snooty, but really, how

Pippimamma’s Caramel Apple Pops
Switch to a Humana Medicare Advantage HMO plan with a $0 monthly premium.
Ingredients • 1 cup butter (no substitutes) • 1 cup packed brown sugar • 1 ½ cups light corn syrup • 1 ½ cups white sugar • 1 Tablespoon vanilla • ½ teaspoon salt • 8 -10 wooden sticks • 8 -10 medium tart apples (either organic or wash off apple wax) Directions • Insert 1 wooden stick into each apple or using a melon baller spoon out flesh into balls and stick with toothpick or wooden stick. • In a heavy saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, cream, salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. • Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees (firm ball stage) about 30-40 minutes and for a softer caramel cook just a few less degrees. • Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. • Dip each apple into hot caramel mixture; turn to coat. • Holding by the stick, sprinkle with nuts or whatever you desire while the caramel is still warm (work quickly the caramel sets up fast). • Set on generously buttered wax paper to cool (make certain to generously butter the paper). • With extra caramel pour on popcorn for popcorn balls or pour into a brownie pan covered with Saranwrap for extra candy bites.

12-year-old hit by car while crossing Benson Drive
Renton house hit by gunfire | POLICE BLOTTER BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
A 12-year-old boy is recovering from multiple fractures and internal injuries this week after he was struck by a car on Friday while attempting to cross Benson Drive mid-block. Police were called to the 17400 block of Benson Drive at around 6:25 p.m. Friday after witnesses reported seeing the boy struck by a mid-size pickup truck while attempting to cross mid-block. Medics transported the victim to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries. According to police, he was in stable condition Monday morning. The driver, a white male in his 60s, was cooperative and remained at the scene until transported to his residence. Neither alcohol nor speed appear to have played a role in the accident. No charges are expected to be filed against the driver.

The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. The residents on Southeast 158th Street were awakened by gunfire at about 1:15 a.m. Oct. 5 and the sound of a car leaving their street. Two neighbors were out in the street in their pajamas when officers arrived. They described what they thought was a sports car fleeing. Five bullets hit the outside near the front door of a house; one round was found in the kitchen ceiling. Children and young adults were sleeping or laying down inside, including in the living room. Only one of the people inside refused to speak with officers. No one was hurt, but there was damage to the house. Two .40-caliber shell casings were found. BREAK IN: Three windows were broken on a house in the 2800 block of Lincoln Place Northeast on Oct. 6. The holes weren’t big enough to allow someone to get in, so the intention apparently was just to break the windows. Rocks were found inside. The damage was estimated at $900. FORE: A 19-year-old Renton man said he had no idea where the golf balls landed
that he was hitting from a backyard Oct. 7 toward residences on Southwest Sunset Boulevard. He hit three golf balls out of the yard. A buddy hit golf balls, too, but wouldn’t say how many. No damage was reported, but the officer told the two to stop hitting golf balls out of their yard. PIPE DOWN: Officers once again responded to a noise complaint on Graham Avenue Northeast about loud karaoke music coming from a house. This complaint was made on Oct. 9, but there have been five other noise complaints starting in June. The owner of the house has been issued warnings. A man inside the resident has become belligerent with officers. On Oct. 9, the officer heard someone singing inside on a karaoke machine from the driveway. The officer felt the vibration of the noise coming through the front door and windows. The same young man was inside, singing into a microphone and apparently drinking. The noise prevented those inside from hearing the officers knock. They knocked on the window and another confrontation occurred inside. The young man was warned and a report was sent to the federal corrections department.

Olson’s four TDs lead Renton over Highline BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Renton’s Drew Olson ran for two touchdowns and added two more with his legs Thursday night as the Indians crushed Highline 42-7 in a Seamount League matchup at Renton Memorial Stadium to help keep Renton’s postseason hopes alive. Royal Dotson-Goode also had two rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown of his
own in the win. Renton started fast with Olson running for a 1-yard touchdown and then tossing a 25-yard pass to Tahj Bailey to take a 14-0 lead after the first quarter. There was no let down in the second as Olson threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Goode, who then picked up 1-yard and 14-yard touchdowns runs before Olson ran in his second of the night, a 72-yard scamper to paydirt.
Lindbergh spoils Hazen homecoming Victory keeps Lindbergh in running for high postseason seed BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
The Lindbergh Eagles may have spoiled Hazen’s homecoming on Friday, but the 40-18 win over the Highlanders and guarantees a spots in this year’s postseason tournament. The Eagles got it going early with a 1-yard touchdwon run in the first quarter by Korey Solo to take a 7-0 lead into the second. In the second, Lindbergh’s DeMarco Sauls scored two touchdowns within three minutes, a 38-yard run and a 36-yard run to put the Eagles up 20-0. Lindbergh was threatening again with just over two minutes left in the half, but fumbled on the 2-yard line, leading to a 98-yard fumble recovery and run for a touchdown by Hazen’s Khalil Ali put the Highlanders on the board. Lindbergh responded, however, marching down the field and scoring on a 35-yard pass from Samuel Nehren to Darrien Saweyer-Lamb to give the Eagles a 27-6
As the teams headed to halftime, Renton was comfortably in control 42-0. In the third quarter, Highline got on the board with a 2-yard run of its own, but that as it for scoring as Renton held on for the 42-7 win. With the win, Renton improves to 3-5 overall and 3-2 in the Seamount League. Renton plays Lindbergh next week at Renton Memorial Stadium in a game that could determine postseason seeding for both teams.
lead at halftime. The teams traded blows in the third, with Lindbergh’s Johsiah Serquinia scoring on a 28-yard touchdown run and Hazen responding with an 18-yard run of their own for a touchdown (players names not reported) and the teams headed to the final frame with Lindbergh up 34-12. Hazen got on the board again in the fourth with a 1-yard touchdown run and a successful 2-point conversion, but Lindbergh did not let up, as Nehren hit Sawyer-Lamb again at the two-minute mark for a 43yard touchdown to lock up the 40-18 win. Nehren was 7-for-8 with 107 yards and 2 TDs in the game. Sauls rushed for 105 yards and 2 TDs while Serquinia picked up 101 yards and a touchdown of his own. With the win, Lindbergh moves to 5-3 on the season and 3-2 in the Seamount. They sit in second place, behind Kennedy Catholic. Lindbergh is a 2A school while Kennedy is a 3A school. Three 2A teams will make the postseason, including Lindbergh. Lindbergh plays Renton Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium as the two teams battle for seeding.
Kennedy tops Hazen for Seamount title The Hazen Highlanders soccer team fell to Kennedy on Tuesday 1-0 in a matchup of top Seamount League teams. The loss gives Kennedy the league championship and the top seed headed into the postseason. Coach Ken Matthews said the game has a playoff atmosphere and despite the loss, his team gained valuable experience. The loss drops Hazen’s record to 8-4-3 overall and 4-1-1 in the Seamount. The team had one more match before the postseason begins, a league match-up with Tyee on Oct. 29. Hazen has secured a spot in the postseason and will play the South Puget Sound League No. 4 seed in a loser-out game on Nov. 3 at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner.

Senior Services: Your partner in aging well SENIOR SERVICES seniorservices.org
Since 1967, older adults in King County and those who care about them have relied on Senior Services for compassionate guidance and comprehensive services to meet the challenges of aging. For nearly 50 years, Senior Services has connected older adults with resources that fit their needs, whether they are facing a crisis or simply striving to lead more active, fulfilling lives. The senior population is growing rapidly in our region. The 2010 Census reported there were 312,000 seniors in King County. That number will increase to 496,000 by 2025 and elders will comprise 25 percent of the population at that time. One out of five are elders of color. More than nine percent of King County residents 65 and older live in poverty and poverty disproportionately affects elders of color. Only six percent of white seniors live in poverty, while 21 percent of black seniors and 38 percent of Native American seniors do. Malnutrition and isolation are common problems among older adults, especially those on low or fixed incomes. Senior Services’ Meals on Wheels and community dining programs provide more than good nutrition and good company; they allow many seniors to continue to live in their own homes. Seven affiliated senior centers throughout King County offer warm and welcoming places for all to share a meal or companionship, learn something new, take a fitness class
...senior resource guide and enrich the spirit in the company of others. Additional senior centers offer many of Senior Services’ programs in other communities.
respected and can seamlessly access critical services.
With the Hyde Shuttle, Senior Services provides seniors and adults with disabilities with rides to medical appointments, grocery shopping, community gatherings and other activities. Volunteer Transportation provides free rides to medical appointments. These services are a lifeline to more than 6,000 people every year who have no other means of staying engaged in their communities.
However, this critical work is threatened because some once-reliable sources of support for seniors have disappeared.

An estimated 100 million Americans experience problems associated with missing teeth such as the inability to smile with confidence, difficulty chewing, talking or laughing and embarrassment eating in public. The problem is more serious because tooth loss causes facial bone loss and collapse of facial structures creating an old person appearance. In extreme cases the jawbone continues to deteriorate and facial muscles change, causing the chin and nose to curve inward towards each other, resulting in a “witch’s beak” appearance. Wearing dentures actually accelerates this deterioration process. The solution is Dental Implant Treatment, today’s state of the art alternative to traditional methods of tooth replacement. Unlike dentures or partials, dental implants are teeth replacements that actually prevent bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing. “As substitute tooth roots, dental implants provide virtually the same function as natural tooth roots: maintenance of bone and the preservation of facial structures,” says Dr. Robert Odegard DDS who provides implant and cosmetic dentistry in the Renton Highlands. “If a person is going to lose a tooth or multiple teeth, they should have implants placed in order to prevent significant bone loss and to preserve their facial appearance,” says Dr. Odegard. Dental implants can significantly improve the lives of people who wear dentures or partial dentures. With little or no discomfort, dental implants can be placed to secure the dentures in the mouth or they can replace the denture all together. Because the dentures will no longer move or slip, the improvement in chewing and eating is immeasurable. Often the patient can keep their same dentures and have them snap on to the implants for improved retention and stability. The patient enjoys much more confidence and a better quality of life. Dental Implants have a 95-99% success rate, are painless to place and are one of the easiest procedures for the patient. Because they are made of titanium, they do not corrode, decay, break down and they are biologically compatible. Once the teeth are attached to the implants it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between real teeth or implants in the way they bite, feel or look. The best part is that they impart a youthfulness to the person who has them and they preserve the persons facial bone for life. There really is no other dental tooth replacement that compares to dental implants.
“If a person is going to lose a tooth or multiple teeth, they should have implants placed in order to prevent significant bone loss and to preserve their facial appearance”

As we age, our bodies change drastically. It is important to focus on the 4 basic components of good health; Strength, balance, endurance & flexibility. We all want to look and feel great in our “Golden Years”, so we can travel and enjoy the experience to the fullest, spend fun playtime with our grandchildren, friends or pets. Studies have found the higher the muscle mass we have as we age, the more likely it is we will live longer, according to an article in the Huffington Post by Jill S. Brown, Fitness Expert. So, think about a new goal, and make it easier for yourself to become more active and work fitness into your lifestyle, Brown wrote. Yes, you can do this! The biggest obstacle is staying motivated, and the ease and availability of a doable program, and equipment

that is easily accessible. Brown suggests a daily plan: First, find your purpose. If it’s a better life that you are after, physical movement is needed in your daily routine. Get moving! Then, make a calendar for your daily physical activities, just like you would schedule your appointments. This is your appointment for better health. Finally, let’s be accountable to ourselves, and to others. According to Brown, if we set goals we share with friends and family, we are more likely to maintain our schedule. Being in great shape is easier when you get your friends and family in on the fun! We all want to be smart about working out, we want to reach our fitness goals for optimum health benefits, and we want to feel better. So, remember to drink at least eight glasses of water each day, take time out to relax and enjoy some quiet time for yourself, try to eat healthy foods daily, and do not neglect your sleep. You should start feeling stronger within a few short weeks, and begin to look forward to your daily fitness activity. Fun things to do to add to your fitness calendar include swimming, stretching, walking, bicycling, dancing, jumping rope, playing outside with grandkids, a friend or a pet, jogging, meditation, yoga, weight training, and anything else that gets you up and moving. Have fun, and good luck!

Life Insurance Tip Louise George STATEPOINT MEDIA www.statepoint.net For many, life insurance is a one-time purchase. But your policy should keep pace with your life circumstances. Life insurance plays a key role in financial confidence and planning, according some surveys which found that 77 percent of policy owners feel prepared to protect their wealth compared to 61 percent of non-owners. Additionally, the survey found that life insurance owners feel more prepared for retirement, and potential income disruption. RETIREMENT-READY The kids are grown, the house is paid off, and you’re embarking on retirement. Do you still need life insurance? If no one is depending on you financially, it may be safe to scale down and maintain a smaller policy and focus on long-term care insurance instead. But, you might also have good reasons to maintain status quo. For example, how big a hardship would it be for your spouse to lose your pension and Social Security benefits? Life insurance can help offset those losses and is useful in helping inheritors pay taxes on a large estate. Or if you have a cash value policy, perhaps you have plans to leverage it as a source of supplemental retirement income. Remember, life insurance doesn’t need to be static. It can be adjusted to fit your changing needs. For more tips, visit www.lfg.com. Additional information on the solutions available for meeting specific needs can be found at www.lfg.com/LIAM. No matter your age, plan your legacy and have a clear idea of what to leave behind for your loved ones.
Choosen for Honor Flight
On May 9, 2015 I was honored to be a participant in an Honor Flight for World War II veterans. Lilia Anderson was appointed as my guardian for the trip and made my journey perfect from beginning to end. At our departure, dozens of people, including USO veterans with placards cheered 56 Washington veterans and their 50 guardians. Only two of us were women, both of us named Louise! At our Baltimore destination our group filled two buses with an escort from eight Vietnam Veterans on Harley Davidsons. A hug from one of them, a big burly bearded vet, made my arrival very special. The next morning our buses were filled with red-shirted veterans and blue-shirted guardians on our way to Washington D.C. We visited the WWII, Lincoln, Korean, Vietnam, Iwo Jima, FDR, Navy and American Veterans Disabled for Life memorials. Along the way, we had a picnic lunch and ended the momentous day with a banquet in the evening. We visited the Women in Military Service of

America Memorial, where I discovered that I was a charter member. We also visited Arlington Cemetery and passed the Air Force monument. On the plane ride home we were surprised to get mail call, and I received a mail bag with 99 letters from friends, relatives and students. On our arrival home, we were amazed at our reception from Marines and Navy personnel standing at attention. Each of us received a handmade quilt which I will treasure always. On our return over 300 people greeted us and we enjoyed a wonderful program of entertainment. In February of 1943, the Marine Corps advertised to encourage women to join the corps. With the approval of my parents, I enlisted on March 2, 1943. The next week 24 of us departed by train for boot camp at Hunter College in New York. Fourteen of the Seattle women were assigned to Marine Corps Headquarters in Arlington, VA and I became the secretary to the Quartermaster Corps. I worked for five Marine Corps men in the office for the remainder of the war and was discharged in November, 1945. The Marine Corps was an important part of my life and the Honor Flight spotlighted our service including recognition by the Seahawks. It has been overwhelming to receive such gratitude for our service.

DR. KURT HOFELDT, OPTOMETRIST AT KENT EYE CLINIC www.kenteyeclinic.com • 253-852-2120
Seeing the World around you through healthy eyes and clear vision is often considered to be one of the pillars of great quality of life. Unfortunately, in some cases, either because of age, genetics, injury or a combination of these factors, a person may suffer from any number of eye and vision-threatening illnesses that can drastically reduce his/her ability to experience life with clear, healthy vision. The best way to prevent these conditions from doing serious harm to your vision, and reducing your overall quality of life, is to learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of some of the most common eye conditions and familiarize yourself with possible detection and treatment options. CATARACTS Cataracts are often considered a common part of aging. The lens, which is made of mostly water and protein, grows excess layers on its surface as the years go by. When these layers harden, protein in the lens may form clumps and become cloudy, forming a cataract. Although cataracts are usually considered an eye condition of old age, previous eye disease or eye surgery, chronic disease, diabetes, and eye injuries can bring on cataracts much earlier. Treatment varies from eyeglasses to cataract surgery and is common for patients over 40. MACULAR DEGENERATION Macular degeneration is a deterioration of the macula, a small part of the retina that is responsible for central and detail vision. Macular degeneration is usually associated with old age, but can be
• Dry macular degeneration is the more common form of this condition. Symptoms include blurry distance and/or reading vision, less vivid color vision, difficulty seeing in dim light, trouble recognizing the faces of loved ones and a blank or blurry spot in your central vision. • Wet macular degeneration is more rare and generally understood to be more dangerous due to it’s tendency to deteriorate very quickly. Some symptoms of wet macular degeneration are similar to those of the dry form, such as seeing less vivid colors and loss of central vision in general. You may also see straight lines as though they are bent, crooked or irregular. No macular degeneration treatment exists which has the full approval of the federal government as yet, but expert studies show that certain health supplements, such as Vitamins C and E may reduce one’s risk of developing macular degeneration. GLAUCOMA This illness is marked by damage to your optic nerve, which is responsible for sending visual information from your eyes to your brain. If often is a result of age or from rising inner eye fluid pressure. Glaucoma comes on very slowly and shows little or no symptoms until significant vision damage has already been done. Annual comprehensive eye exams by an optometrist are the best way to catch glaucoma early. Although rare, noticeable symptoms include halos around lights, vision loss, nausea or vomiting, eye pain and tunnel vision. Glaucoma rarely causes total

blindness, and if caught early can be prevented from doing any significant damage. DIABETIC RETINOPATHY Diabetes is a serious condition in which a person experiences high levels of blood sugar over an extended period of time. This can happen for one of two reasons: Either the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates the level of sugar in the blood or the pancreas does produce enough insulin, but the cells of the body fail to respond properly to the insulin. Among the most serious of these conditions is an eye condition called diabetic retinopathy. This condition occurs when blood vessels change in the retina, in some cases causing blood vessels to swell or leak fluid. Blood vessels may also close off completely, or a process called neovascularization may take place, in which new and abnormal blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina, causing it to wrinkle, seriously damaging your vision. DRY EYES A person with this condition suffer from incessant dryness, redness, stinging and/or burning in the eyes as a result of either the eyes inability to produce enough tears or to produce tears that possess the right qualities to keep eyes healthy and comfortable, causing a consistent lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. Dry eyes are non-curable. However, an optometrist will be able to prescribe artificial tears to help relieve symptoms. These specialty lubricating eye drops are formulated to help with dry, scratchy feeling eyes. Many types of artificial tears exist to help relieve symptoms depending on the underlying cause of dry eyes. An eye doctor should be able to help you find which artificial tears will help you most. For more information about these and other eye conditions, contact your eye doctor today.

Skill Swap: How grandparents and grandkids can learn from each other (BPT) -Known for their wisdom and patience, grandparents pass down skills, knowledge and stories to both their children and grandchildren. Conversely, grandparents can also learn from their grandkids, especially when it comes to technology. Traditional skills and new trades and tools alike, both grandparents and grandchildren have a talent to bring to the table. Whether they live in the same city or must rely on technology to communicate, grandparents, grandchildren and even parents can come together to learn from each
other. In honor of Grandparents Day and celebrating family all year round, Intel offers some suggestions on activities for a grandparentgrandchild skill swap: Savvy skills from grandchildren: Capturing memories. Grandparents are all about capturing memorable moments in photo form. While they most likely know how to use a point and shoot camera, the may not have mastered the art of a tablet or smartphone camera.

Real home cooking. Make sure your secret family recipes are kept within the family. Grandkids can create a digital archive of grandma and grandpa’s recipes on their tablet, PC, 2 in 1 or smartphone while grandparents teach them how to create the delicious feast from scratch.
Spotlight storytelling. Grandparents can spread their family history and make their life story last for generations when they share it with their grandchildren, interview style. As they talk about their childhood, school, career and more, the kids can take notes on their device or record the story, pairing anecdotes with photos to eventually create a digital memory book. The whole family will be able to look back and enjoy these memories for years to come. Learning lost arts. There are certain skills learned in the grandparents’ generation that some would consider “lost arts” today. Boy Scouts, etiquette class and home economics are not as common as they used to be. Grandparents can spend time teaching their grandkids these valuable skills, such as tying their favorite knots learned in scouts, sewing a button or a patch on a pair of pants, table manners and the art of writing a well-crafted thank you card. Grandkids can take notes as they learn to help them remember in the future. Family time is precious. Take advantage of these ideas to broaden your horizons as both a grandparent and a grandchild.

Affinity, a whole new 55+ living concept, is coming to Covington Pssst! It’s not a “retirement community.” You just have to be 55+ to enjoy all it has to offer.
What makes Affinity different? For starters, it’s amazingly affordable, with no need to “buy” in or sign a lengthy contract – you can simply rent. Add to that about 30,000 square feet of additional living space with a fun social vibe and cool amenities like an indoor heated saltwater pool and spa and an on-site resident pub, to name just a few- and these communities feel like resort living for active, fun and vibrant adults. Scott Scelfo, Affinity’s Asset Manager says “Why Affinity? Why Now? We saw a huge hole in the apartment living market –a need for quality, reasonably priced living options for active people who are 55+. Until now, living options for people 55+ were limited to high priced senior living communities that catered to older individuals looking for assistance with daily living activities. We wanted to develop something for value conscious people who were looking to simplify their lifestyle so they had the flexibility (i.e., time and money) to pursue their interests and hobbies without having to deal with the hassle and expense of home ownership. Affinity provides its residents an awesome place to live at a very affordable price.” Check out Affinity on any game day, and you’ll find the residents tail-gating in their own community spaces with big-screen
televisions and even a pub where they have BYOB events. In the summer, you’ll find the green thumbs out in the gardens growing flowers, herbs and vegetables, and the foodies enjoying barbecues that take place at the outdoor cooking and kitchen area. A huge difference between Affinity and other age-restricted lifestyle communities is the price tag. Affinity at Covington offers affordable rents, starting at $1290, that include all utilities and lots of amenities like an on-site theater, a workshop for bigger projects, an arts and crafts studio and a lot more. Use what you save at Affinity to pad your retirement- or to enhance your lifestyle. “Our communities give people a way to live affordably without sacrificing on lifestyle. They’re a great solution for people who want to sell their home, downsize and simplify their life-or people who are considering living closer to their kids and don’t want to spend a lot on a new home in the process. The reception has been huge,” says Scelfo. Snowbirds and travelers who like to hit the road for months at a time LOVE the simplicity and freedom of living at Affinity. One easy monthly check is all they have to worry about. Affinity at Covington is scheduled to open in July 2016 and is located at 27431 172nd Ave SE, in Covington. Close to popular shopping and dining establishments.

Life just looks better from here. You’ll find few places offering you possibilities for creativity, action and involvement all at one community. Fewer still that offer all levels of living – also at one community. When found together, that’s Judson Park, the sound choice for senior living. Who we are is as much a part of our fabric as what we are: • Residential living for independent-minded people seeking a strong sense of community • Short-stay rehabilitation and respite programs – open to the general public through direct admission • On-site assisted living, memory support and long-term nursing care • A robust, opportunity-rich lifestyle for those who aspire toward successful aging • Accredited by CARF-CCAC for meeting strict national standards for quality services – less than one in five communities can say this
Look at life from a Judson Park point of view. Start by calling 1-866-909-8850 or visiting ExperienceJudson.com.
