Officer hurt when stolen car rams cruiser BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradfor@rentonreporter.com

A Renton Police officer was injured Friday, Jan. 1, when a stolen vehicle filled with teens rammed the officer’s police cruiser in North Renton. The 30-year-old officer, who has served on the police force for four years, was taken to Valley Medical Center, where he was treated and released. It was anticipated that he would return to duty on Thursday. Renton Police investigators were preparing to present their case against four teenagers to prosecutors Wednesday, according to Renton Police Commander David Leibman. Two of the juvenies are from Seattle, one is from SeaTac and the fourth juvenile doesn’t have a known address. They face charges of assault and possession of a stolen vehicle. Investigators don’t know why the teens stole the car and there’s no indication it was anything more than just joyriding, Leibman said Wednesday. Renton Police officers [ more OFFICER page 5 ]

Pair of holdouts may force schools to build around them With a construction levy headed to voters in February, the Renton School District has been busy buying up properties on a full block in North Renton to prepare for a new elementary school. But two property owners say they are being dealt with unfairly and may end up causing the district

to build around them. In preparation for construction of a new school on the site of the current Sartori Education Center on Garden Avenue, the district has been purchasing all of the land on the block. However, one homeowner and one neighboring small business have been holding out in hopes of getting more money for their property.

Jeff Colee and Ryan Saffel and Associates, located next to each other on the Park Avenue side of the block, both say the amount offered by the district for their buildings would not be enough to make up for what they are losing by moving. For Colee, a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair to get around, the issue is both improvements he has made to his house, as well as a potential loss of tax status that

he has on his current home that keeps his costs in check. “I’m planning to stay here forever,” Colee said recently. “I can’t afford to move.” For Chris Saffel at the business, it is a matter of not being able to find another building in the area at a similar price, as well as the potential loss of business that

West Hill concrete recycler to finally shut down BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

A concrete recycler known informally as “Mount Anderson” on Martin Luther King Jr. Way on West Hill, which according to King County has not complied with King County code for more than three decades, is going to shut down. Speaking at a mobile-home park in the shadow of the huge pile of construction debris and concrete recently, county Executive Dow Constantine announced the county will spend $400,000 to clean up the property. The recycling company, Contractors Concrete Recycling, will remain open while it recycles concrete already on site but it won’t be allowed to accept any new material, a King County Superior Court judge decided earlier in December. The county will get repaid for the cleanup when the property is sold. Constantine said there’s a buyer for the property, which is in bankruptcy, at 13000 Martin Luther King Jr. Way. In making the announcement, Constantine called the recycling operation an eyesore and health hazard. Resident Curtis Faulks addressed Constantine during the news conference, explaining how for 25 years he and his wife June lived with the dust from the recycling operation three blocks from their home.

Joe Harker stands behind his mobile home off Martin Luther King Jr., where for about 20 years he has lived with the impacts of a concrete recycling facility. Dean A. Radford/Renton Reporter

Faulks believes that the deaths of his wife and others in the immediate neighborhood are related to that dust. “It’s going to be a great thing for the community and the kids who are being born here and raised up here,” Faulks said in an interview about the eventual closure. Constantine also announced his staff will draft more efficient, common-sense rules that, among other things, shorten the length of

time violators have to comply with the law, and reduce redundancies in the appeals processes. Proposed changes to county code will be sent to the County Council for public review and action. “Enough is enough. We’re going to fix this, and fix the system that allows violators to skirt the law for decades,” said Constantine. “With the support of our partners in the community, we will reclaim this site for the people of Skyway and West

Hill.” Contractors Concrete Recycling and its mountain is easily visible from the highway, near mobile home parks and other residential areas. Constantine was joined by West Hill community leaders, who hailed the announcement. Local residents also attended and applauded. Joe Harker has lived in his mobile home for about 20 years, the mountain rising behind the back of his home. His main complaint is dust. “It piles up in the house. It covers everything. We don’t have air conditioning, so we open the doors and windows,” he said in an interview The noise of the heavy equipment isn’t a problem for him, but it might be for others, he said. “What’s a problem for me is diesel fumes,” he said. “I come out on the porch and I have to breath the stuff.” It will take months for workers to finished processing the mountains of debris and for a final cleanup, according to county officials. The Contractors Concrete Recycling operation is separate from two nearby concrete recycling businesses in Renton, Renton Concrete Recyclers and Stoneway Concrete’s Black River Quarry. Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-336-4960.

Hospital district commissioner sworn in BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Dr. Chris Monson was sworn in Monday night as the second new Public Hospital District No. 1 commissioner. Because Monson didn’t file formal candidate information with the state Public Disclosure Commission, he is required to do so now that he’s been elected and sworn in. Monson filed the “personal financial affairs statement,” which was received on Dec. 29. Monson had indicated in a letter to the Public Disclosure Commission in June that he would not accept the office if elected. He beat

longtime commissioner Carolyn Parnell in the November election. Monson didn’t file any of the required candiDr. Chris Monson date or financial paperwork, which the PDC discovered last month when comparing the general election results to its list of candidates, according to Lori Anderson, a PDC spokeswoman. Now the PDC will hold an enforcement hearing likely before the end of March in which a commissioners will consider Monson’s case, according to Anderson.

The alleged violations are that Monson did not register his campaign with the PDC or disclose personal financial informaLawton tion, according to Montgomery Anderson. In December Lawton Montgomery, a captain with the Kent Regional Fire Authority, was sworn in to replace Dr. Aaron Heide, who had resigned from the board and was initially replaced by an appointee, Dr. Terry Block. Montgomery has lived in the

area for about 10 years and has worked in the area for almost 30 years, he said in an interview after Monday’s commission meeting. “We send a lot of people to Valley,” he said. “I know it’s a good hospital. Being it’s my hospital that I use too, I want to be involved with it and give back to my community that I live in.” The commission also elected new officers for 2016. Dr. Paul Joos, a partner with Monson in their medical practice, was elected president. Dr. Tamara Sleeter was elected vice president and Montgomery was elected commission secretary.

Beverly Joan Anderson

Beverly Joan Anderson, age 74, would like you to know that her work here is done. She received her angel wings on December 16, 2015. This assignment came with a huge bonus, reuniting with the love of her life, Doug, family, and friends she has not seen in a long time. We want to let her know that she did a great job in life and love. Bev was born March 4, 1941 to Archie and Adella Irish (Johnson). She grew up in Kalispell, Montana. She attended Flathead Valley High School, graduating in 1959. It was in high school that she met her forever love Douglas Anderson. Bev and Doug were married on July 29, 1960 in Kalispell where they started their beautiful life together. Doug enlisted in the Air Force which took them on a few adventures outside of Montana. They settled in the KentRenton area of Washington to make a home for their three sons, Darwin, Dwayne, and Dean. Bev’s devotion to her family was truly exceptional. Her family was her life and her hobby. She lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; going from baseball field to baseball field, soccer and basketball, feeding three growing sons, traveling with Doug, playing cards, chatting with friends over lunch, bowling, and gardening. The love she had for her three sons and five grandchildren is not easily characterized. Bev had an uncanny ability to put others at ease through her jokes and laughter. She was headstrong and passionate which went perfectly with her fiery red hair. Beverly was preceded in death by her husband Douglas D. Anderson, her parents, Archie and Adella Irish, grandparents, Inga and Albert Johnson, and several aunts and uncles and cousins. She is survived by her sons, Darwin Anderson, Dwayne (Janet) Anderson, Dean (Michelle) Anderson, Grandchildren, Kaila Anderson, Dallas Anderson, Danielle Anderson, Claudia Anderson and Dalton Anderson and the devoted family dog, Tiny. She is also survived by her sister, Claudia Curd, several very special nieces, nephews, cousins, and family members. We will all remember her smile, her warmth and her energy. We will love and miss you as you dance away your days in heaven. 1500497

It’s official: The Renton Western Wear building on Third Avenue South downtown is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in the mid-1950s as an F. W. Woolworth, the store, it is considered a “representative example” of the type of building used in the “waning years of the International Style.” According to the documents, the International Style includes a rejection of historical styles, a machine aesthetic, a rejection of ornament and a simplification of form and unnecessary detail. “The store represents a last gasp effort of Woolworth’s to change the retail face of downtowns in rural America before the shift occurred to suburban shopping centers,” the documents read. It is historically significant to Renton because of its role in helping downtown Renton grow and develop. Among the design techniques highlighted by the nomination papers are the use of glass only when necessary, the large awning, which also provided a platform for signs and a focus on the horizontal form of the building. Construction of the store began in 1953 and it first opened the following March.

building,” Stewart said in an email. “Establishing the Woolworth’s building as a landmark builds on the excitement that Rentonites expressed when the department store was built in 1954.” In a Committee of the Whole meeting in September, Community Development Project Manager John Collum said the building has also been authorized to receive funding as part of the Community Development Block Grant Facade Improvement Program. According to Collum, approximately $500,000 in work will be done to restore and improve the exterior of the building. Of that, about half will come from grant funding. The store becomes the second National Register of Historic Places listed property in the city and the first Woolworth store in the state to make the register. The city’s other historic property is the Pacific Coast Company House No. 75 on 138th Street. It was added in 1979.

His story goes all to pot | Police blotter The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@erntonreporter.com

A Renton Police officer was having a difficult time believing a man’s story about a marijuana buy that went bad on Dec. 6. Officers responded to Northeast Fourth Street at about 8:40 p.m. to calls about horn honking and screaming. An open-line 911 call had come in: “U DONT HAVE ANY WEED DO U, YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES HE SAID HE WOULD SHOOT ME” About an hour later, an assault report came in. The caller, a 35-year-old Seattle man, reported that after arranging over Craigslist to sell a quarter-ounce of marijuana, the buyer threatened to steal everything. A fight ensured, the buyer pulled a gun and punched a woman in the seller’s car. He stole the marijuana, the man’s phone and a Denver Bronco’s sweatshirt. In following up, the officer found the story a bit unbelievable. But the story was all true – except for the fact the victim was trying to sell a pound of marijuana. He just didn’t want to get in trouble for selling that much pot. ILLEGAL STREET RACING: About 50 vehicles staged to watch or participate in illegal street racing at about 1 a.m. Dec. 12 on Houser Way North. The crowd scattered all at once when someone yelled “police.” An 18-year-old Kent man twice drove around an officer who tried to block him and nearly backed into another officer’s cruiser. He was stopped after driving into the PACCAR parking lot, sending off

sparks as he hit speed bumps. He didn’t know the officer was trying to stop him but fleeing was a rush. Testing showed he was under the influence of marijuana. He’s addicted to marijuana, which started when his mother allowed him to smoke it. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail – he’s worried his arrest will affect his ability to join the military. METH, HATCHES, WIRE CUTTERS: A Renton officer patrolling the Renton Transit Center parking garage at about 8 p.m. Dec. 11 saw a man throw a glass pipe on the ground and the officer later found methamphetamine in a baggy in his hand. The 33-year-old homeless man also had a hatchet and wire cutters on his person and another hatchet in his backpack. The methamphetamine in the five baggies weighed 1.38 grams. The man was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of drug possession. TOUCHED BY CABBIE: A 25-year-old Kent woman was touched inappropriately repeatedly by a cab driver Dec. 7 after he asked her to ride in the front seat with him. The cab driver had also given her a ride in September and even gave her his phone number. The touching occurred on 108th Avenue Southeast at about 3:40 p.m. She pushed him away when he tried to kiss her after stopped at a bank. Investigators are looking into the case.

She finally drove off after a man got into her car, but she was stopped for impeding traffic. Her ID checked out and she really didn’t want the man to get into her car. The man who got into her car initially gave the officer a wrong name. The right name then turned up a state felony warrant for escape from community custody.

spotted the stolen vehicle driving in the area of Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park at 1100 Lake Washington Boulevard at around 8:35 p.m., according to the Renton Police Department. Officers followed the vehicle to near North Sixth Street and Nishiwaki Lane, where they attempted to stop the vehicle. A second vehicle with the stolen vehicle was later determined to be stolen, too. Both vehicles attempted to elude the officers and one rammed a police vehicle that was attempting to stop them, according to police. The suspect vehicle that rammed the police car fled east on North Sixth Street and was stopped just east of Park Avenue. The second stolen vehicle crashed into a ditch. Six juveniles were taken into custody at the scene. The Renton Police Traffic Division responded to assist in the investigation which is ongoing. Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-336-4960.

APRIL • No. No. No. It’s not funny to make a false report And, no, he wasn’t high on PCP, didn’t hit a pole on an I-405 off-ramp and he really knew his name. Two Renton officers and two state troopers weren’t amused when he told them he just thought it was funny to mess with them. Nor did it help when he tried to hit an officer with his Camaro. Eventually he apologized and was cited for false reporting. • A question that deserves a sound-proof answer How long must hens go cluck, cluck, cluck before their owner [ more LESSONS page 7 ]

A not-so-funny thing happened on the long march to save Washington from the damaging undulations of climate change. A fight broke out among the warriors. A little jawboning in the summer escalated this week with a flurry of verbal punches directed at the campaign to create a carbon tax with Initiative 732, as its leaders turned in the last of 350,000 signatures gathered in support of the measure. “It’s the culmination of a long journey this year and the start of a new journey next year,” said Yoram Bauman, co-founder of Carbon Washington, the group behind I-732. “We’re super excited about what comes next.” That’s going to be months of campaigning to educate voters on their measure to tax carbon emissions from gasoline, natural gas and fossil fuels. It also would lower the state’s retail sales tax, trim the business and occupation tax and give low-income families a tax rebate. The claim is it will be “revenue neutral” for state coffers. There’s going to be opposition. But the loudest opponents may not be in the ranks of climate change deniers but among those in a coalition of environmental, labor and progressive groups. Leaders of the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy, with a 30-person steering committee and roughly 150 groups as members, had been trying for months to get I-732 supporters to stand down and join them with a different approach they think will fare better with voters. That approach would involve capping emissions, collecting a fee from emitters and spreading that dough around to clean energy and community-building projects. CarbonWA supporters decided not to join them partly because their offering had not been fully refined. “Our approach was to come with a great policy and bring people together to support it,” he said. “Their approach has been to bring a bunch a people around the table and come up with a Jerry Cornfield

“With the presidential campaign about to hit high gear, are you satisfied with the choices?”

Climate change battle breaks out

COMMENTARY

I am not disappointed and I am not really surprised. But it’s apparent that some folks didn’t read my “Lessons from the Police Blotter” column I wrote a year ago. I still had a lot of crime to report. I also take heart: No one commits a crime expecting to get caught. And there are always novel ways to victimize and to become a victim. So, I’ll try again. Maybe post the column on the refrigerator this time. JANUARY • Be sure to get something to eat first The 24-year-old Oak Harbor man wasn’t hard to spot after running away from Boeing security officers on Garden Avenue. He was on his back, arms at his sides and palms up, refusing to talk or get up. But he still gave up 2.56 grams of heroin, a butterfly knife and $640 in cash. But his night wasn’t all wasted. The hospital ER didn’t serve food, so the officer bought him a cheeseburger on the way to jail. • Try your best not to look suspicious It probably wasn’t smart to sit in the car and smoke marijuana. But the two men quickly got out and went into a laundromat, all the while looking back at the officer. Eventually, they came out. A baggie full of meth fell from a pants pocket. And for the other there was a $600 warrant. They went off to jail. • If you’re robbed, walk away from the vacuum cleaner Her first mistake was leaving her iPhone and her black coach purse in her car when she went to a movie. They were stolen. Officers couldn’t find any evidence inside the car, probably because she vacuumed it on the way to the police station to report the crime. FEBRUARY • Watch out for flying tires, dueling charges His mission was simple: Buy his wife some tires. But he didn’t have her store membership card. He got angry, tossing a tire twice at a manager who tried to explain the store policy. Both wanted to file charges against the other. But here’s the takeaway: The officer explained that being rude or providing poor customer service wasn’t a crime but hitting someone with a tire was. MARCH • Nothing good comes from violating transit center rules You have to ask, was smoking the cigarette at the Metro Transit Center downtown really worth the risk of having an officer spot the (stolen and loaded) revolver shoved down your pants and the baggies of marijuana and cocaine? Especially if you’re a felon? Especially if you already have a $1,000 warrant for unlawful transit conduct? He insisted the pot and cocaine were for his own personal use. He was hauled off to jail. • Sometimes it’s just a drug deal gone bad The story had a lot of holes: a stranger, an unknown apartment building, a waiting getaway car. He insisted he was robbed but why didn’t he touch the loaded 9mm Sig Sauer pistol shoved down his pants? Even when police tracked down the suspect, he didn’t want the other guy pursued. Maybe it was just a drug deal gone bad. • The gold paint will give you away every time The elderly man drinking from an open can of Hurricane beer asked the officer: “You looking for the huffer? She’s in the bushes.” There she was, foil held to her face, sniffing deeply, remnants of gold paint covering her mouth, nose, fingers and hands. Huffing (inhaling toxic fumes) got her arrested and the helpful man was booked for his open can of beer and a warrant.

policy they can all agree upon. And they are finding that to be challenging.” The alliance brain trust is now debating — and polling — their options. Three stand out: Do nothing, craft a measure to complement I-732 or push ahead with a competing measure. Not going forward is an absolute possibility, if there is no clear and surmountable path to winning, alliance members said. When voters are faced with competing items on a ballot they tend to turn both down. Alliance members are frustrated I-732 forces don’t see the potential damage to their cause in losing as much as they do. If the alliance proceeds, its members would need to spend as much time talking up their proposition as they have been talking down I-732. That won’t be hard, as they’ve been lobbing verbal jabs for awhile. And this week, they latched onto a state Department of Revenue analysis they claim shows the initiative won’t be “revenue neutral” but actually cause the state lose money over time. Adam Glickman, secretary-treasurer of Service Employees International Union Local 775 and an alliance steering committee member, called it a “poorly written” and “deeply flawed” initiative that will drain valuable dollars from the state treasury without force major polluters to reduce carbon emissions. “Big Oil is dancing in the streets over this,” he said. Bauman offered a robust rebuttal to the economic analysis, saying the model and assumptions used by legislative staff didn’t accurately reflect the measure. “We believe that further analysis by the state will show that the measure is revenue neutral, or very close to it,” he said. “We think I-732 is a terrific policy,” he said. “Fossil fuels will cost a little bit more and everything else will cost a little bit less and that’s how we’re going to save the world.” We’ll see what Washington voters think about that next fall.

www.rentonreporter.com is cited for having too many noisy animals inside the city? For one Renton Police officer it was about an hour. The clucking started quietly at about 6:55 a.m. on April 2, but by 7 one of the hen’s clucks were audible out on the street. Then silence, then more loud cackling that went on for the better part of an hour, long enough for a valid complaint. Code enforcement kept an eye on the henhouse. MAY • A ‘Frozen’ tin is the first place officers look It soon became apparent to officers the woman was dealing drugs – and not shoplifting stuff for her kids. She was arrested for the shoplifting but a search yielded three tins filled with meth - one pink, one yellow and one “Frozen” tin in her bra. The meth weighed 11.34 grams. She was booked for selling drugs. JUNE • The “I was buying pizza” alibi doesn’t work In a horrifying robbery, a woman was robbed of $20 by four men who threatened to drug her with chloroform and kidnap her

if she didn’t turn over her money. The men fled but were soon caught. The one who took the $20 was really off buying pizza. But the officer asked, “Where’s the pizza?” And a $20 bill was in his pocket. • When in doubt, say the meth is your nephew’s She gathered up 63 items worth of stolen goods and put a halfdrunk drink in her purse before she was stopped outside Wal-Mart. As officers do after an arrest, they searched her purse and in looking inside a hide-a-key box found meth, which she said belonged to her nephew. That landed her in jail for drug possession, along with theft. JULY • Just close door on any ‘fellow’ who shows up at 8 p.m. This particular “fellow” showed up with an offer to change over an elderly couple’s cable service – for $1. He asked for and received a credit card, name and birth date. He’d run out of business cards and his nowhere-in-view truck was up the street. Their daughter told them to cancel the deal – but that would cost

them $350. She called the “fellow,” who agreed to cancel the deal if only she wouldn’t call police. • Occasionally there’s a helpful ‘kleptomaniac’ He admitted he was a kleptomaniac and that he would get caught stealing personal-care products from Wal-Mart. He admitted he had meth and a pipe in one of his backpacks and verbally helped the officers find them. And he rode with one to jail. AUGUST • This doesn’t work: “Sir, sir. I didn’t do anything.” It took just 81 seconds for Renton Police officers to stop the 34-year-old Renton man in a stolen Honda Accord. He tried that line on them. The “jiggler keys” used to defeat the ignition and door locks gave him away. • It’s hard for 200-pound man to hide in a fridge Two big men tried their best to hide from officers responding to a report of a burglary. A 200 pounder chose the refrigerator. When he tried to flee, the officer pinned him inside. The much shorter one (but still 190 pounds) hid behind the clothes washer and hot-water, where he almost escaped notice. Luckily for

them, the company managing the vacant house didn’t want to press charges. But they faced charges for a nearby break-in. • Be careful where you hide your drugs They were caught stealing a T-shirt and assaulting a store security officer at WalMart. On the way to jail, the officer finally had to stop to find out why one of them was squirming so much in the back seat. The officer discovered a potential illegal drug hidden in the crack of his rear end, but identification was impossible because it had been heavily ground in the car’s rubber mat. • Here’s one way to get free tickets to a movie A fight broke out between two women over talking and laughing while watching the movie “Straight Outta Compton” with their dates. There were a tossed cut of pop, a bloody nose and name calling. It was all called breach of peace with mutual combat. But they did get free tickets to another movie, presumably not with each other. SEPTEMBER • Pay attention in your anger-management class

The 56-year-old Preston man didn’t. Helmetless, he rode his bike down the Cedar River Trail, foul language and spit flowing from his mouth. He puffed in his chest and took a fighting stance. He was tased and hauled off to jail. OCTOBER • This one’s obvious: Don’t hit golf balls out of your yard A 19-year-old Renton man had no idea where the golf balls landed he was hitting from a backyard toward residences on Southwest Sunset Boulevard. No damage was reported, but the officer told the two to stop hitting golf balls out of their yard. NOVEMBER • If you did it, don’t linger long enough to get

fingered Luckily for the Toppenish man, Fred Meyer didn’t want to press shoplifting charges against him but he couldn’t come back into the store. He was free to go but didn’t get away fast enough: a portable fingerprint scan showed he was wanted on an escape warrant. DECEMBER • Never too big to steal The Des Moines man who just bought a 50inch flat-screen TV and surround-sound system decided he wanted to do some more shopping. So, he left his big new purchases highly visible in his car. When he returned, he found a passenger window shattered and the $900 TV and sound system gone. Reach

Healthy New You!

New Year’s Food Resolutions to Improve Wellbeing (StatePoint) Improving one’s overall wellbeing is often top-of-mind when New Year’s resolutions are made. Positive lifestyle changes are heavily rooted in the kitchen – start there and take simple steps to achieve better health.

Heathy eating can be a breeze with a wealth of mealtime ideas that take 30 minutes or less to prepare. A high-performance blender, like the Vitamix 780, makes it easy to whip up plant-based concoctions like smoothies, soups and whole-food juices -- even healthy sorbets made from nothing but frozen fruit. The blender has five touchscreen pre-programmed settings and an LED control panel to quickly create recipes with a single touch.

Whole Foods Focus

Fresh, unprocessed foods are the cornerstone of a healthful diet. Whole foods include fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds – all presented in their purest forms, free of unnecessary additives such as artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, sweeteners and hydrogenated fats. Build a recipe for success with an ongoing grocery list that incorporates natural foods you’re excited to try, and begin to make small swaps. If it seems like an adventure, you’ll be inspired to avoid high-calorie, lownutrient foods, and stick to those that provide energy and key disease-fighting properties. Excellent examples of power-packed foods include bananas, dark leafy greens, black beans, avocados, strawberries, peas, quinoa, almonds, chia seeds and rolled oats. Shopping tip: these foods are typically located around the perimeter of the market.

Stick to It

Soups and smoothies make for quick, healthful meals. (c) Kalman & Pabst Photo Group

Mealtime Magic at Home

Take a few minutes each week to make meal plans. Preparing and consuming mostly home-cooked meals will train your palate to enjoy more healthful fare. And it’s worth the effort to know exactly what’s in each dish. Over time, you’ll learn to cook creatively with wholefood ingredients.

Now that you’ve committed to a whole foodscentered eating regimen, ensure old habits stay in the past. Take a few moments to write down scenarios that might sidetrack you and how to avoid them. For example, partner up with friends or loved ones to form a support system and encourage each other to make healthy choices when getting together for occasional meals out. And lastly-- it’s okay to indulge here and there. You will be successful if you are happy about your choices and don’t feel restricted. Focus on this new approach to eating to set out on the right course to optimal health. Understand what whole foods are, how to include them in your diet, and work with a support system. You’ll be well on the way to long-term success.

Only Natural Pet was recently launched at PetSmart as a brand dedicated to the paleo-inspired diet for pets. It blends proteins with all-natural ingredients with a minimal processing, resulting in dehydrated, freezedried and air-dried raw products that deliver the paleo diet for pets. This natural brand eliminates all artificial ingredients such as flavorings or preservatives. The best way to switch your pet’s food is by providing a gradual transition, mixing the old food with the new for up to 10 days. 4. Monitor your pet’s activity and behavior. This may come as a surprise to many, but discovering an unhealthy habit in your pet’s day-to-day life is as simple as paying closer attention to his or her behavior. Is your pup demonstrating pent-up energy? More exercise might be necessary. Are they devouring their food too quickly? Maybe an active feeding approach is the right solution. 5. Stick with your resolutions. Change can be tough on pets, especially when it disrupts diet or day-to-day routines. The important thing to remember is that positive results rarely come without work. As cliché as it may sound, both you and your pet will be thankful for the change in the long run. These tips are a wonderful way to kick-start a healthier lifestyle for both you and your pet in the new year.

(BPT) - Tis’ the season for new beginnings. As holiday gifts give way to New Year’s resolutions, general health and wellness is top-of-mind, consistently ranking as a top goal for both men and women this time of year. This resolution season, try incorporating lifestyle changes that benefit both you and your pet. PetSmart veterinarian and pet care expert Dr. Kemba Marshall provides some helpful tips for achieving a healthier lifestyle for you and your animal companions. 1. Exercise is key. Pets, like humans, need physical activity in order to be healthy. The good news is giving your pet adequate daily exercise is easy! For some dog breeds, 30-minute walks are enough. For others, a game of fetch does the trick. Interested in trying something new? Mix up the activity. Try sprinting alongside your pet in quick intervals. Balls are great for fetch, but have you ever tried a Frisbee? Even a quick trip to the mailbox each day is a great option. 2. Stimulate the brain. Maintaining a healthy pet lifestyle goes beyond physical exercise. Activities to stimulate a pet’s mental skills are fun and important too. Try a treat-dispensing or puzzle toy with your dog or cat to keep their mind active. Introduce the new toy before a meal, this way your pet will be hungry to learn. 3. Optimize the diet. Have you been feeding your pet the same food for years? It may be time for you and your veterinarian to assess his food and make sure you’re providing one that is healthy and satisfying.

Healthy New You! Are you looking for a fun way to work all your muscles? Zumba, which is a mix of Latin dancing and aerobics, has conquered the world in recent years. So, what are you waiting for? Zumba classes are great for improving your muscle tone and cardiovascular endurance. Best of all, by doing the various choreographed dance

steps and aerobic moves, you’ll burn lots of calories and improve your coordination, flexibility, fluidity of movement and balance. In addition, Zumba combines lots of groovy hip swinging, which will relax you and put you in a great mood every time. Are you hesitating because you don’t know how to dance? Don’t

Surprising origins

Did you know that Zumba came about by accident? That’s right. In the 1990s, Alberto Perez, a Colombian

aerobics instructor, realized that he had forgotten his music recordings for a class he was about to give. As he only had Latin music with him, he improvised an aerobic workout to the rhythms of salsa, merengue and cumbia. His students loved it, as have thousands of people since. So, are you tempted to give it a try? Grab your sneakers and your water bottle: you’ll soon be dancing up a storm.

worry. You don’t need to achieve perfection to experience all the benefits of this exercise. In fact, Zumba is a great way to learn to dance at your own pace. After only a few sessions your sense of rhythm will probably have improved and you may even be more graceful.

could happen during a move to a new location. “All my neighbors don’t need commercial zoning,” Saffel said of his predicament. “I’m a different animal than these other guys that can seek housing a block away.” Colee moved into his house 28 years ago, about three years before the accident that left him without use of his legs. Since then, he has been making improvements to the house and yard to help get around, as he lives alone. He has made significant improvements to the bathroom, added ramps to the front and back decks, widened doors and installed ways to help him get from floor to floor inside the house. Outside, there is a garage and yard around which he has poured concrete to allow him to get around as well as mow the grassy areas by himself. He also just installed a new roof on his deck to help prevent water from rolling into the kitchen on his wheels when he lets his dog in and out. Today, the house is completely paid off and because of a low-income tax rate for seniors, he is taxed at a rate of about $75,000 assessed value (his purchase amount) for as long as he lives there. “That’s the benefit I get for being here 28 years,” he said, adding that while he would still be eligible for the program, it would lock in at the purchase value of his new home instead of his current rate. Colee was offered $340,000 for his home, but Colee estimates it would cost him twice that to find a new place and renovate it to his needs. “It’s hard to find a place where I have as much as I have here,” he said. Colee also says the neighborhood is perfect for his needs because he can get to The Landing, downtown, Lake Washington, the Cedar River Trail and even Wal-Mart, all with relative ease. He is also on a major bus route. “Everything’s flat around here. I can go anywhere and do anything,” he said. “Most neighborhoods I can barely go anywhere because of a hill or no sidewalks.” Saffel and Associates opened in their current location about three years ago, as part of the company’s 20-year business plan. The company and its five employees represent manufacturers, with most of their distribution in the Renton area. “It’s a good halfway spot for us,” he said.

expand that footprint.” But Matheson said the district is working with residents, even the two who are not selling as all of the properties around them do. “Our intent is to not kick folks out of their house,” he said, adding “as the houses around them begin to be boarded up, who knows? They might feel differently.” That process has already begun, as neighbors sell and move out. The home next to Saffel’s office was recently boarded up by police after squatters were chased from it following its sale. But Matheson also said the district has to be “careful” about property purchases because as stewards of taxpayer money, they have to focus on “what is reasonable” and he said the offers to both Saffel and Colee were at a fair market rate. A quick look at real estate website Zillow. com shows that both offers are above the estimated values of each property, though all of the purchase prices for homes on the block are above the estimates. For example, the house next door to Saffel is estimated at about $222,000 and sold for $301,000. The house next to that was estimated at $243,000 and sold for $400,000. The house next to Colee was estimated at about $225,000 and sold for $267,000. Others on the block sold for between $2,000 and nearly $100,000 more than estimates. Saffel’s building is estimated at $264,000, while Colee’s is at $232,000. But Matheson said the offers are what they are. “We’re not going to get in a bidding war with them,” he said. Though an email from the district to Colee seemed to threaten use of eminent domain to buy the houses, Matheson said that is not the plan and instead the district is exploring the possibility of going forward without those two properties. “We might have to build the school around those houses,” he said. In fact, Colee was even sent an email showing just that in a design that featured the new school with both his and Saffel’s buildings still where they are. And for Colee, that would be just fine. “Build the school around me,” he said when asked what the outcome would be in a perfect world. “I know I can survive here.” The Renton School District Construction levy heads to voters Feb. 9.

www.rentonreporter.com talk this year at the show will be on ””Weed Wars – how to win the battle without harming Mother Nature” (Saturday, Feb. 20 at 5:30 p.m.) March – Invest some time in weed control now for big dividends later. Divide daylilies, feed the lawn, sharpen the blades and tune up your mower. April – Plant cool season crops like peas, lettuce, kale and cabbage. Add spring bloomers like primroses, pansies and alyssum. Add organic matter to enrich all soils now, so you’ll need less water this summer. May – Plant something new and in bloom for our pollinators. New David Austin roses are out this year, new annuals like cali-

brochoas, add a new perennial plant that you’ve never tried. A variety of flowering plants in the landscape will keep the birds and bees humming along. Accept that it is up to gardeners to save the world. June – Feed the soil and seal in moisture with a mulch. Cut back any early flowering clematis after they bloom for an encore of flowers later in the summer. Plant tomatoes, beans, corn and other warmth loving crops this month. July – Invest in a rain barrel, drip irrigation or soaker hose. Cut back perennials like lavender and delphiniums and they will flower again. Fertilize your potted plants. Cut back leggy petunias, dead head

geraniums. August – Harvest beans, broccoli and leafy crops to keep your vegetables producing. Water less often but water deeply. September – Have no mercy on ugly plants. Replace dried up and overgrown shrubs, trees, perennials and annuals with better behaved versions on sale at nurseries this month. Fertilize Western Washington lawns in late September. Reseed new lawns in early September. October – Move tender potted plants close to the house, bring tender succulents like Echiverias indoors. Cut back frost damaged plants and collect fallen leaves. Make

this the month you start a compost pile by piling leaves and debris in a corner of the garden. November – Plant spring blooming bulbs such as tulips and daffodils. Dig or cover tender bulbs of dahlias, cannas and tuberous begonias. Use up the gas and drain the oil from your mower before winter storage. Give thanks that you live in such a beautiful, green place. December – Harvest your evergreens and berried branches to decorate from nature this month. Fill planters, window boxes and hanging baskets with the pruning crumbs from your evergreens and make jolly with holly.
