Suspect in 2013 Liberty Park homicide arrested

Fake ID at U.S.-Mexico border leads to arrest of man wanted for shooting death in Renton BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Workers hoist the new single-span Riverview Park pedestrian bridge into place on Friday along the Maple Valley Highway. BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter

New Riverview Park bridge arrives in Renton After several months of delays, the new Riverview Park pedestrian bridge finally made its way to Renton on Friday, where workers used a giant crane to hoist the new 135-foot span into place. The single-span bridge was constructed, delivered and installed by Northwest Docks of Anacortes. Delivery was originally intended for September, but

fabrication of the bridge took longer than expected to complete. The former Riverview Park Bridge was constructed on creosote-treated wood pilings set in the Cedar River. A 2012 engineering report rated the substructure in poor condition due to its age and debris repeatedly caught in the piers. Originally built in the 1970s with minor improvements over time, the old bridge routinely caused problems in high-water

events like floods or even the spring melt. In addition to removing pilings from the river, the new structure will also include a grated surface to allow more light to pass through into the water. Renton received a direct appropriation from the legislature in 2013 for $1,067,000. The new bridge is expected to open to the public early next year, with an official celebration planned for spring 2016.

Suspect identified in Walmart arson White male lit jackets on fire and left store BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Renton Police investigators have identified a suspect in connection with an arson this month at the Renton Walmart, after releasing his photo to the public. The investigation is continuing. The suspect was described as

a white male in his 20s or 30s, about 5-foot-10-inches tall with medium build. He was wearing olive green pants, a green hooded sweatshirt, a black t-shirt and black soccer-style shoes with white stripes. According to police, the suspect entered the store at approximately 9:10 p.m. Dec. 3 and went to the sporting goods aisle, where he set hunting jackets on fire. A store employee rushed to extinguish the fire.

The jackets were located on a rack directly above shotgun shells. Police do not know whether the suspect was attempting to somehow ignite the shells, and it does not appear that the fire was designed as a distraction to commit another crime. Security video revealed he touched a folding knife on display, according to the police report. The suspect appeared to be on a cell phone as he left the store but was not seen with anyone else.

Five people rescued from apartment fire Saturday BY BRIAN BECKLEY, bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Four people, including two children, were rescued from an apartment fire by Renton firefighters this weekend, as a fifth person jumped from a second-floor window to avoid the flames. All five were treated and released on the scene. Firefighters responded to a call from the Emerald Downs Apartments in the 12100 block of Petrovitsky Road at about 4:30 a.m. Dec. 12.

Protect your packages! The Renton Police Department offers the following tips to prevent porch thefts: • Have your packages delivered to a location where they can be received in person, such as a neighbor’s or relative’s house. If your employer allows it, consider having it delivered to work. • When making a purchase online, if the retailer provides the option, choose a specific delivery time. Take advantage of delivery alerts so you can be notified when a package arrives at your home. • If you are not available to accept delivery, ask a trusted neighbor to take your package inside for safekeeping. • When possible, request the delivery company to hold your package at their closest pick-up facility until you can pick it up. It is also helpful to provide delivery instructions so packages can be left out of sight from your yard or the road. •Don’t forget to retrieve your delivered packages when you get home. • Finally, if you see any suspicious activity, call 911.

Local studio believes ‘whole health’ means giving back The Maya Whole Health Studio collects donations for a different nonprofit each month. BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Shannon Aldrich Payne, owner of Maya Whole Health Studio on Lake Washington Avenue, takes serious the name of her shop and believes that in “whole health” involves not only taking care of oneself, but also giving back. “It’s just an important aspect of health,” she said. That’s why she started the Community Benefit Partnership program and for the past several years, her yoga studio has made donation to local charities, moving from quarterly at the start to different monthly recipients now. This month, the studio is collecting food and supplies for the Rainier Valley Food Bank. Next month it’s Operation Smile, followed by Lionheart, an organization that benefits firefighters, in February. Giving back has always been part of the business model at Maya While Health, which opened at the Bristol in 2010 and moved to its current location in 2012, she said, calling it “integral” to what they do. Prior to opening the studio, Aldrich Payne worked in human services for the City of Seattle and King County, getting resources to the people who need them. And while she may have left that job, it never really left her. “I’ve always had a really strong connection to community involvement,” Aldrich Payne said this week. She set up the Community Benefit Program to continue the work. She said it helps underline for her and her clients the importance of giving back and its connection to overall physical and mental health, something she said was ingrained in her as a child. “There’s so many different ways of giving,” she said, adding that it’s not always about money. The goal of the program, Aldrich Payne said,

Shannon Aldrich Payne, right, and Malia Dullanty pose for a photo with the donation basket featuring the nonprofit their yoga studio is supporting this month. BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter is to not only collect donations, but also raise awareness for a local nonprofit. Typically, the studio hosts a benefit class for the organization, which people can attend simply with a donation, and then a second or third event through the month designed to build further awareness. For example, this month’s donation class, benefitting the Rainier Valley Food Bank, will be an all-levels yoga and meditation class at 10 a.m. Dec. 24. All are welcome to attend with the donation of money or a non-perishable food item. On January 9, there will be an open house and even for Operation Smile, a nonprofit group that performs surgery on children born with cleft palates and other dental issues. Aldrich Payne said the program is becoming self-perpetuating, with customers bringing in

suggestions. “Usually they come to us, oftentimes, through one of our clients,” She said about the choice of nonprofit to help. “We try to do nonprofits that are near and dear to people’s hearts,” agreed Malia Dullanty, the community outreach coordinator. Dullanty said they try to focus on local programs, like Lionheart, for example, which was started in honor of Renton firefighter Donovan Eckhardt, who died this year, but sometimes pick larger organizations, like Operation Smile. “I think it’s just finding a balance,” Dullanty said.

Members of Renton’s Wizards of the Coast on Tuesday dropped off hundreds of dollars worth of Christmas presents for a family they adopted through the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center as part of the Day of Joy, sponsored by Wizard’s parent company, Hasbro. The business was given basic information about a nine-person family impacted

by sexual abuse, that includes six children. From there, the Wizards team headed out shopping for gifts for the whole family, including toys and games as well as items such as warm clothing and blankets. Project manager Erik Davis said his mother is a domestic-violence survivor, so this program is one that is close to his heart. According to KCSARC, the family has “no idea” the gifts are coming their way.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. A 20-year-old Renton man known to Renton Police officers caught the attention of one officer, who noticed the headlight was out on his car. The man pulled over on Glennwood Avenue North at about 10:30 p.m. Dec. 1. The officer earlier had determined the man had multiple warrants. The officer turned on his emergency lights and the suspect accelerated quickly, spinning the tires and fleeing on Glennwood. The officer followed him to Northeast Sunset Boulevard, where the man ran a red light and hit another vehicle. The two vehicles were now locked together, but the suspect managed to get his Nissan Sentra free and fled, ignoring commands to stop. The suspect was known to threaten police. Several officers joined the pursuit. The suspect was arrested at the onramp to Interstate 405, after he lost control of his car. He had to be pulled from the car through a window because the earlier collision had caused damage to the door. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of felony eluding and warrants.

[ RESCUE from page 1] including children, trapped on the third floor. The fire had already burned a hole through the floor in the exit/ entrance to the apartment unit. The call was immediately upgraded to a working fire incident and four engines, two ladders, two aid cars and two battalion chiefs responded. Within five minutes of arrival crews had placed ladders to the third floor and took two juveniles, a 17-year-old male and a 10-year-old female, from the smoke-filled room to safety. Two more residents were rescued from the second floor. Another resident “self-rescued” from a secondfloor balcony, landing on the water-soaked lawn and suffering a minor arm injury. Within nine minutes, crews knocked down the fire and a Renton ladder crew was on the roof creating a ventilation opening to release trapped heat and smoke. A total of three units suffered either fire, smoke, or water damage. Total loss is estimated at $150,000 Red Cross was assisting two displaced families. The cause of the fire has been ruled as accidental. Deputy Fire Chief Erik Wallgren said the incident is a good reminder to check smoke detectors and make sure they are working properly. Wallgren also said if a resident finds themself in a similar position of not being able to exit a fire, they should call 911 and let firefighters know where they are before trying to shelter in place to protect themselves from the flames.

FORGOT TO DISCARD HEROIN: A 25-year-old Renton woman fled with stolen $80 headphones from Frys Nov.

21 but was chased down by a store security officer at North Eighth Street and Houser Way North. A Renton Police officer found a small tin container inside her purse. Inside the container were small pieces of foil and a vinegary-smelling hard black substance in a plastic baggie, which field tested as heroin. She had found the tin contain but just forgot to discard the heroin inside. She was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of drug charges and third-degree theft. CAR STOLEN FROM HOSPITAL: A 32-year-old Bonney Lake man’s Honda Accord was stolen Nov. 30 from the Valley Medical Center’s northeast parking lot while he was inside the hospital visiting his daughter. The car was stolen sometime between 11 a.m. and about 5 p.m. 50-INCH TV STOLEN FROM CAR: A 21-year-old Des Moines man who just bought a 50-inch flat-screen TV and surround-sound system from Target at The Landing decided to do some shopping at Dick’s Sporting Goods. When he returned to his car on Dec. 1, he found a passenger window was shattered and the TV and sound system, valued at about $900, were gone. RINGS STOLEN: A 52-year-old Renton woman returning home from work on Dec. 1 found a small window next to her front door broken and the front door was unlocked. She walked from her home and called 911. She walked through the house with a police officer. Three rings had been stolen in the master bedroom. The rings were made of titanium and koa wood, a sterling silver ring and a gold ring with a Hawaiian pattern and the word “Nina” in black enamel. The value was estimated at $700.

According to Renton Police, a fistfight between two women at Liberty Park near the children’s play area ended in gunfire between at least one man from each of the women’s associates. After the gunfire, everyone fled. Lonnie Reynolds, 20, who was not involved in the shooting, was caught in the crossfire and died at Harborview Medical Center after suffering a gunshot to her torso, according to Renton Police. Investigators found nine shell casings or pieces of lead at the park. At the time a second man was interviewed, then released, pending further investigation.

There is a wonderful nonprofit here in Washington called “Make the Dash Count.” Its goal is to engage youth as philanthropists and leaders in their communities. The name of the organization refers to the inclusive dates usually inscribed on a headstone, where the day one is born and the day he/she dies is recorded with a little dash in between. Make the Dash Count challenges us to infuse those years between birth and death with meaningful activity. I love that concept. Because, let’s face it, most of us go from day-to-day focused on ourselves. What to have for breakfast? What to wear? Going to school. To work. Tackling tasks important to us, our family, our co-workers, or our boss. Hours, days, weeks, even months rush by in a blur. How often have you said, “Where did the time go? How did the holidays get here so quickly?” It doesn’t mean that we haven’t spent our time wisely or with good cause, but we tend to move from one thing to the next without reflection – on auto pilot. And time flies. What if it didn’t? What if we paused, not occasionally, but often and reflected on that small dash in our life? Would it make a difference? Would it feel like the dash got longer? I think so. If we want to make that dash count, we first have to be aware. We must approach each day with consciousness, with gratitude, and with a sense of expectation for what the next moment, the next hour or the next day will bring. Just like when we were children. Otherwise, the dash becomes shorter and shorter until it nearly disappears. And instead of looking forward to our 21st birthday, we’re lamenting that we just signed up for Medicare. Where did the time go? OK then, you say, what are some ways to make the dash count in our lives? First, be grateful. Spend a few moments each day expressing gratitude for what you have, the struggles you’ve endured and overcome, and the people in your life. It has been shown that expressing gratitude on a regular basis can enhance your physical and emotional health. It can help you sleep better and improve self-esteem. It can even benefit your relationships. Secondly, give back. Making those years between birth and death count isn’t just about making money, raising children, and generally being a good person. It’s about looking around you and taking stock of others. Is there something you can do to make a difference in your community or to lessen the burden of someone less fortunate? If so, do it. Trust me. This is the best way to stretch the dash. When you give back, you are auto[ more BOHART page 12 ]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

More gun control is not the answer There is no doubt that the tragic firearm deaths recently have cast a light on guns. The result has been a hue and cry led by the President to “tighten” up gun laws. This approach does nothing to get at the underlying issue of what are the reasons or causes that set these people off.

A more rational approach would be to undertake whatever is necessary to treat the problem not the symptom. All the gun laws in the world are not going to stop these sick people. If they can’t get a firearm, they will use knives, pipe bombs or whatever else their devious minds will conjure up. As has been suggested, gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars. Dave Lewis, Renton

Shopping locally keeps your money working in the Renton community In thinking about the impact that local businesses give back to the community, I want to start this article with a big “thank you.” If I began to name the businesses that support fundraisers, auctions, the homeless and people in need in our area, there simply would not be enough room in this column. The business community is not only giving of their treasures, they also give of their time. Countless business owners and their staff volunteer to coach every sport in Renton that your kids are involved in. Or participate in a city clean-up day. Or volunteer for DECA or any given event at the schools, at their church, support nonprofits or even at the Renton Chamber of Commerce events. They live, learn, play, shop and dine here. Renton is their home too. Vicky Baxter

OPINION

[6] December 18, 2015

Recently we had an out-of-town visitor who had left her purse hanging on the back of her chair at a local restaurant. Her keys were in her pocket so she didn’t notice the purse missing until she had gone into a store to make a purchase. She was frantic and the store personnel, although very busy with holiday shoppers, calmed her down and made the call to the restaurant which found her purse still hanging on the back of the chair. Now this may seem the right thing to do and not exactly a “hero moment,” but to this gal they were her heroes. You see, inside that purse was $1,000 but to her more importantly was a locket given to her by her mother who had recently passed away. The clasp had broken on her trip and she had it in her purse. The Thanksgiving weekend looked bleak for volunteers and donations of food. In fact, Leigh [ more SHOP LOCAL page 12 ]

Terri loved art for as long as she can remember and took art classes all through school, but admits to not being the best student at first. “I got D’s in art from Mr. Rutter in middle school, but I had him as a teacher at Lindbergh too – and I got all A’s. He wondered what had happened!” she said. As a part of DECA (Distributed Education Club of America), Terri learned about advertising and gained marketing skills that serve her well today.

The Highlanders looked to keep their unbeaten streak alive on Wednesday against Highline and then head to Renton today, Friday, for their final game before the winter break begins. Lindbergh Lindbergh is also off to a good start in the league, beginning the year 2-1 in the Seamount with wins over Renton and Evergreen and a loss to Hazen. Overall, the Eagles are 2-3, dropping non-league games to Kentridge and Auburn. The Eagles were scheduled to play Kennedy Catholic on Wednesday and head to Foster on Friday and Ingraham on Tuesday. Renton The Renton Indians have not been as lucky to begin their 2015-16 campaign, starting the season at 1-6 overall and 1-2 in the Seamount.

Resolve to add a little color to your outdoor spaces this year THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER

Marianne Binetti

The end of December and the start of the New Year means it is time to consider change and resolutions. A recent trip to Portugal inspired our garden-loving travel group to add more color to outdoor spaces using tile. The streets of Lisbon and the other towns of Portugal are alive with not just blooming plants on balconies but walls that shine with colorful ceramic tiles. One of our favorite discoveries down a side street in the walled city of Faro was a warehouse full of building salvage – including old tiles that once covered the outside of homes and businesses. Inside the old warehouse sat a bearded,

elderly gentleman at a table with a large, open book and stacks of dusty tiles. He was patiently dating and cataloging hundreds of hand-painted tiles recovered from 17th century churches, monasteries and villas. Many of the blue, yellow and white painted tiles revealed simple drawings of animals – dogs, sheep and cats surrounded by stars, dots and dashes. These antique tiles were painted by the children left orphaned after the great earth quake of 1755. The quake, waves and fires that followed left much of Lisbon in rubble. The positive outcome of this tragic event is that a brilliant prime minister (Pombal) took control of the city restoration and used all his intellect and urban planning skills to rebuild the great city of Lisbon – while at the same time providing shelter and jobs for the displaced children of the disaster. The Marquis of Pombal set up tile making workshops where the children were encour-

aged to paint patterns and animals onto the ceramic tile used for reconstruction. Now here’s the clever law that helped finance the Lisbon reconstruction: all newly built structures were required to use the locally painted tiles. To ignore the law labeled you unpatriotic and during this turbulent time such a label might cost you your head. So more than 300 years later Portugal still blooms with tile covered walls, fountains, ledges and stairways – many still showcasing the handiwork of “work-fare” social programs set up for the earth quake survivors. Today these “Pombalino” tiles are being sold as salvage material when old buildings are repaired or replaced. So yes, I had to buy a 17th century tile in Portugal and like some of my fellow travelers am still trying to find a special place for this treasure in my garden. Here’s some tips for using tile in your own Western Washington landscape:

Our wet weather makes tiles underfoot slippery – chose a vertical wall, fence or post to display your tile collection. You don’t need to travel far to find a diverse collection of tiles. Home Improvement stores have aisles of different tiles in all colors and sizes. You can glue small, oneinch square, glass tiles around the edge of a pot or display large one foot ceramic tiles as trivets on outdoor tables. It is easy to hang and display art tiles using plate wall holders. These use metal springs and hooks to secure the tile. You can find these holders at local craft stores. Now you can hang your tile on fences and outdoor walls. And if a tile does crack or break from either the trip home or a hard winter don’t despair. Broken bits of tile, china and ceramic plates can be used to create colorful garden mosaics on top of tables, stone benches or garden stepping stones.
