Rumors but no leads yet in homicide BY DEAN A. RADFORD

dradford@rentonreporter.com

Renton police investigators have rumors but no leads in the homicide of a 64-year-old Renton man near downtown on Nov. 4. Jerry James Turner died of multiple stab wounds. His death was ruled a homicide by the King County medical examiner. When Renton Police officers arrived at the apartment on Shattuck Avenue South at about 3:45 p.m., they found pieces of a porcelain lamp that likely had been broken over Turner’s head, according to a Renton Police case report. A violent struggle had apparently occurred in the living room, according to the report. Renton Police Commander David Leibman said last week that results from the Washington State Crime lab hopefully will provide leads for investigators. “A couple of names have popped up during the investigation, but we haven’t moved past the rumor stage,” he said.

Committee to decide on Bullet pierces house; Renton man charged council pay BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter

A single bullet pierced several rooms of a house in the Cascade neighborhood Nov. 11, fired by a Renton man who is now charged with a drive-by shooting. Raheem O. Johnson, 38, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Thursday morning. He is free on $50,000 bail. Johnson called 911 after the shot was fired and waited

for officers at a grocery store parking lot on 140th Avenue Southeast. He told the dispatcher he discharged his gun but he asked for an attorney after officers arrived. But before invoking rights, he told the dispatcher someone was chasing him with bats and hitting his car. The passengerside windshield was heavily damaged. Several family members, including a 5-year-old child, were

at the house on 121st Avenue Southeast when they heard a loud bang and realized a bullet had hit their house, according to charging documents. No one was hit but they were scared, according to prosecutors. One resident lying down in a front bedroom saw a puff of smoke come from the bedroom wall by the door, according to the incident police report. It was then she realized a

bullet had just flown through her bedroom. She could have been hit had she not been lying down, according to the police report. The family gathered and traced the flight of the bullet: It entered through a bedroom window, passed through bedroom wall and through the living room and into a bedroom and stopped. They called 911.

It’s been 14 years since the Renton City Council got a raise and this fall, a commission of five city residents will decide if it’s time to boost the pay of the council’s seven members. Council president Ed Prince said it was time to look at the issue, though he has never been a fan of elected officials giving themselves raises, which is why the independent commission made up of a diverse group of city residents was [ more SALARY page 8 ]

OPINION

[4] November 27, 2015

Question of the week:

“Should Renton City Council members receive a pay raise?”

Vote online:

www.rentonreporter.com

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

The Paris terrorist attacks. Suicide bombings in Beirut and Baghdad. The university killings in Kenya. The natural disasters that rocked Mexico and Japan. With everything that has happened in the past few weeks (the Kenya massacre happened in April but didn’t manage to make headlines until recently), it’s no wonder that our country is still trying to regain its balance while also dealing with our own issues surrounding race, school shootings and gun control. We are afraid, probably for good reasons, but I think we’ve let our fear get the best of us and helped us get more than a little ahead of ourselves, especially concerning the 10,000 Syrian refugees the Obama administration plans to accept into the country over the next year. Many Americans have an opinion about whether or not the country should continue accepting Syrian refugees. Thirty-one governors have said they will not let refugees into their states, although their legal ability to refuse refugees is questionable at best. I formed an opinion about this issue straight away, but it wasn’t until I sat down to write about the Syrian refugees did I realize that despite my strong opinion on the topic, I didn’t know why these people are refugees in the first place. Everyone seems to know that Syria is a “war-torn” country, but beyond that, details are sparse. Many of the news articles that have come out over the last week about the U.S. accepting refugees have failed to remind us why these people are fleeing their country. Millions of people have been reduced to nothing more than numbers and a label in our media – silhouettes painted in our minds, the details of their tragic lives escaping our notice. The Syrian civil war started in 2011 as the authoritarian government, led by President Bashar al-Assad (and backed by Iran and Russia, according to the BBC), started cracking down on pro-democracy demonstrations. The use of heavy-handed force only spurred more of the country’s citizens to call for the President to step down from power. By 2013, more than 90,000 people had been killed. Between 300 and nearly 2,000 of those deaths have been attributed to chemical weapons that were launched around the capital of Damascus. The weaponized chemical used was sarin, a nerve agent that was classified by the UN as a weapon of mass destruction in 1991. Death by sarin is quick, but not painless. The chemical paralyzes the lung muscles, causing the victim to suffocate within minutes. Those who miraculously survive suffer permanent neurological damage. Assad agreed to a complete removal or Ray Still

COMMENTARY

Last week’s poll results: “Should Congress ratify the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement?”

www.rentonreporter.com

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A later start time is better for high school students I am a senior at Hazen High School, though I participate full time in the Running Start program. Attending Bellevue College allows me to have control over my schedule that was impossible at Hazen. I have experienced first-hand the consequences of the early start times that the Renton School District employs in its high schools. I never thought I would be one of the kids who falls asleep in class, but I found my head on my desk more times than I can count during sophomore year. I missed 30 days of school that year - that’s one out of every six school days - due to illness and anxiety that was in part caused and exacerbated by poor sleep. In order to preserve my academic performance, I was forced to sacrifice my health to the 7:20 morning bell. The Renton School District enforces one of the earliest start times in the state. Though most of Washington’s high schools begin before 8 a.m., few dare to see students in their seats before 7:30. The National Sleep Foundation states that “Adolescent sleep deprivation is largely driven by a conflict between teens’ internal biological clocks and the schedules and demands of society. Therefore, it makes sense to look at school start times.” The American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement last year recom-

mending high schools delay the first bell to 8:30 a.m. or later. A study done in the Minneapolis School District demonstrated the positive impact of pushing start times forward. A change from a 7:15 to an 8:40 a.m. bell improved attendance and enrollment rates and decreased studentreported depression. Other advantages include better grades, fewer tardies and a decreased risk of drowsy driving. I am bringing this to your attention because I believe it is the Renton community’s time to act. Our neighboring school districts are currently pushing large advocacy efforts. Issaquah students and parents are petitioning for an 8:30 a.m. start time. The Bellevue and Mercer Island School Districts have paired up to form a High School Start Time Steering Committee that is urging for an 8:30 a.m. bell. Finally, the Seattle Schools Superintendent has proposed for its high schools and middle schools to start at 8:50 a.m. Transportation conflicts are fixed by making elementary start times earlier, something that pairs well with young children’s internal clocks. The benefits in student performance and wellbeing that these school districts will reap mean that Renton cannot stay “ahead of the curve” by forcing students to wake up more than an hour before their surrounding peers. I do not want to see future students disadvantaged because of an unhealthy policy. Kate Lilly, Renton

destruction of his regime’s chemical weapons (fearing direct U.S. intervention), a mission lead by the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. By this point, the war became sectarianized as the Sunni Muslim majority of the country started fighting against Assad’s secretive Shia Alawite sect. This religious split has drawn neighboring countries into the war and opened the way for religious extremists, like the Islamic State, to gain a foothold. The death toll rose to 250,000 last August.

Since the start of the war, more than four million refugees have fled the country, roughly a quarter of the country’s population. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has estimated that women and children make up 75 percent of the refugee population. Close to 40 percent of refugees are children. A further seven and a half million more Syrians have been displaced inside the country, where the UN says 5.6 million children are in need of [ more STILL page 5]

Officers found Johnson standing outside his car, arms raised, and a handgun on the passenger seat and a loaded magazine on the driver’s seat, according to charging documents. Johnson asked whether anyone had been hit by the bullet. When told “no,” he replied “oh, good,” according to the police report. Then he declined to say anything more.

Beverley Nichols. This opinionated, snobby and always entertaining author was popular in 1940s and ’50s in post-war England, but then forgotten as suburban gardeners preferred convenience over the perennial borders that Nichols brags about or his scolding tone on what flower colors may clash in a vase. Today his series of books about his own garden and the visitors he loves to gossip about have been reprinted for a new audience by Timber Press. The first book in the series “Down the Garden Path” centers on buying his first thatched cottage and making a garden in the English countryside, followed by “Merry Hall” and a list of other books that celebrate his rambling, name dropping and out-of-date methods of garden making. If you like English gardens, history and reading about people that have manservants and drink tea, then Beverly Nichols should be on your list for winter reading. Garden Magazines The trade and shelter magazines struggled to adapt when new media arrived on the garden scene but things have settled down and you can still subscribe to “Horticulture,” “Fine Gardening” and my personal favorite “The English Garden – For Everyone who loves beautiful

THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER

Marianne Binetti

As winter arrives it is time to settle in with some great garden reads. Garden lovers have been using the winter dormant season to read up on new plants, explore new ideas and study seed catalogs even before Thomas Jefferson made it popular among the aristocrats of the new world. This year consider getting lost in another time by reading some gardening classics, become inspired by trying a new garden magazine or fall hopelessly in love with a plant you discover on the pages of a garden catalog. Garden Classics Head to your local library or computer and look up

gardens.” Blame it on reading those Beverley Nichols books but spending money on this glossy imported magazine is a luxury that rivals chocolate on a cold winter night. If you can’t find these garden magazines on your local newsstand you can subscribe online by googling the name. Another favorite is one you would never find on local store shelves. It is called “Green Prints” and there are no glossy photos or “how-to” articles. Instead this small, homespun, quarterly publication from North Carolina celebrates the personal side of gardening with stories about garden chores, pruning mistakes and furry garden companions. GreenPrints magazine is a relaxing read that provides an escape from a too busy world. www.greenprints.com Garden Catalogs Many seed catalogs such as local Ed Hume Seeds have gone to online only ordering formats and this is an efficient way to order seeds. For winter escapism however, the seed catalog that inspires the most edible gardens has to be the Oregon based Territorial Seed Company. The offerings of vegetables, flowers and fruits keeps getting more numerous and there are full color photographs of all the unusual leafy greens, colorful tomatoes and quirky squash they offer. For gardeners that might want to purchase beer- and wine-making supplies, herbs, vegetables for gourmet cooking and even Oregon Pioneer Sourdough starter there is the family run Nichols Garden Nursery catalog that has recently transitioned from paper to a downloadable PDF catalog. Like Territorial Seed, Nichols is based in Oregon so the varieties they sell play well with our climate. So now I realize I have started and ended this column by recommending both a garden author and a nursery owner with the last name “Nichols” – I’d bet 5 cents that these green thumbed Nichols are related – by plants if not by blood.

1. Almost any problem involving the eye should be seen right away. Glaucoma, corneal ulcers, and foreign bodies beneath the eyelids are very serious and may lead to permanent blindness. 2. Profuse vomiting is another sign that needs immediate attention. It does not take very long for a pet, particularly a small one to become dangerously dehydrated. 3. Difficulty breathing is also a problem that should not wait. Difficulty breathing may be a severe cough, but more commonly it is exaggerated effort in breathing, with pets often using their abdominal muscles to help them breathe. 4. If there is active hemorrhage, of course, the pet needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away. If there are just a few drops of blood from a minor wound, it is probably OK to wait for your regular veterinarian. 5. If your pet has its first seizure, particularly if it lasts more that a couple of minutes, should be examined immediately. 6. If your pet ingests a toxin, particularly antifreeze, they should be taken to the emergency hospital as soon as possible. The doctor may induce vomiting to try to eliminate the absorption of the toxin, so time is important. 7. If your pet is pregnant, and is having difficulty having the babies, it should see the emergency veterinarian. If sever, this problem may require an emergency caesarean section. Of course, there are many other problems that pets can have. If you need advice on whether your pet’s symptoms should have immediate attention, call your Veterinarian or the local Emergency Hospital for advice. They will be happy to discuss your pet and their problem. 1462951

brought in. “We thought we would have an outside group of folks take a look at this,” he said, adding that it would be more transparent with a group of citizens making that decision. Prince estimated that members of the council spend about 20 hours per week - give or take - on city business, including meetings, preparation and other civic duties. Commission members will have three options: Raise the salaries, lower it or keep it the same. Members of the council are part-time and currently make $950 per month, or $11,400 annually, which is less than in surrounding, comparable cities. Council members in Kent, for example, make $13,752 per year and after 10 years without one received a 2.5 percent raise this year and will receive a 2.5 percent increase every January, thanks to a similar commission in that city. In Tukwila, council members are paid between $1,050 and $1,250 per month, depending on their terms. The council is currently in the middle of a pay increase, but salaries may not rise until the position’s next term begins, which explains the difference. The Renton salary commission was to meet Nov. 24 and are expected to report their findings to the council before the end of the year. Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050.

Police

Blotter BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. Renton Police officers investigating a burglary Nov. 12 at a house on Pelly Avenue North found three homeless adults and a 2-year-old child inside the garage, trying to escape the cold. The adults told the officer they were cold and homeless and wanted a warm place to stay. The officer told them they couldn’t go inside someone’s house without permission or it is a burglary. But they only went inside the garage and didn’t know who got inside the house. The owner of the rental house discovered the door unlocked on Nov. 12; the renters moved out three days earlier but he doesn’t know who left the door unlocked. Someone had left behind clothing and other items. The previous renters left the house empty and clean. The adults were told not to return to the property. EXERCISED OVER CELL: A 93-year-old man, annoyed when a fellow resident’s cell phone rang in an exercise class Nov. 7, grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into a hallway. He wasn’t arrested because the officer feared the stress of going to jail could induce a medical emergency. He was cited for fourth-degree assault, which was being reviewed by Renton city prosecutors. The two were participating in a group exercise class at a Renton assisted-living facility when the victim’s cell phone rang. As she left the room to take the call, the elderly man yelled at her to get off the phone because she was disturbing the class. He then pulled the 78-year-old woman into the hallway, causing her great pain. The man admitted he could have handled the situation better. TOOLS STOLEN: About $5,000 worth of tools were stolen from a company’s work van parked at 1701 East Valley Road. Someone damaged the lock on the passenger-side door to get in and remove about 40 hand and power tools late Nov. 4 or early Nov. 5. The truck belongs to a company in Springfield, Ore.

McLendon Hardware and Fleetzen, the same-day delivery service for oversized items, are teaming up to reduce some of the hassle and expense of the Christmas holiday.

15-year-old Renton powerlifter sets six world records

he’s only really been lifting for a year and though Sachie Dubose says she has “bigger plans,” it’s hard to imagine what could be next considering the 15-year-old set six world records at a competition in Las Vegas last month. During the Amateur Athletic Union’s World Powerlifting Championships, the sophomore at Renton’s Secondary Learning Center broke records in the teen 14/15-year-old category in squats (281 pounds), four records in deadlifts (275, 300, 311 and 315 pounds), and one for overall with a total of 717 pounds. “It was fun,” Dubose said this past week during a phone interview. “I was really excited.” But maybe even more impressive is that her record-setting performance comes less than a year after she got involved with the sport of powerlifting. “It hasn’t been that long yet,” she said. Dubose’s mother is a bodybuilder and the teen said watching her mother work out in the living room of their apartment inspired her to give it go as well. “We lived in a fourth-floor apartment and she was lifting like 200 lbs.,” Du-

bose said. “I’m just used to seeing a lot of muscle.” Dubose began working out with coach Bull Stewart at Columbia City Fitness in Seattle last year but did not have enough competitions under her belt to compete at the championships; but one year and four meets later, she was in. Stewart is himself a lifter and former world champion and Washington State

Powerlifting Hall of Fame member. “I try to listen to everything he says, but sometimes I’m a little bit stubborn,” Dubose admitted. Dubose said she and her family – including some from states other than Washington – made a vacation out of the whole trip to the event at the Rio Hotel and casino, which she described as a “huge place.” Competing in the 165-pound weight

class, despite weighing in lighter than she had expected, Dubose said she was scheduled to lift a total of nine times in the 12hour competition period but wanted one more record and lifted a 10th time to get it. “Why not?” she said with a laugh. “It’s the end of the day.” However, despite the records, Dubose admits she did not do quite as well as she had hoped. “I was hoping to get at least 330,” she said about her deadlifts. Dubose, who said she also enjoys playing basketball, plans to transition to bodybuilding after her next meet in March, so instead of lifting, she will just be posing to show off the work she has done in the gym. She says it is not always easy being a young, female powerlifter and sometimes she gets told she looks like a man, but the world-record holder is taking it all in stride and not letting anyone else bring her down. “I don’t really pay them no mind,” she said of the haters.
