Number of homeless counted in Renton doubles Joos out labraham@rentonreporter.com

This year’s One Night Count recorded double the amount of unsheltered individuals in Renton, a jump from 79 to 160 individuals. The count, conducted by Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness and All Home last week, resulted in a preliminary estimation of 4,505 unsheltered

individuals throughout Kind County – a 19 percent increase from 2015. Of the 160 counted in Renton, 75 individuals were found in cars/trucks, 18 individuals in or around structures, 16 individuals in alleys and 14 individuals in roadways. “We look for folks sleeping in public places not meant to be regular sleeping accommodation for human beings,” said Cara Custer, clinical service manager at

Valley Cities Counseling and Consultation and one of the lead organizers for the Renton count. “This may include park benches, under bushes, in doorways, under bridges, etc. We count each person we encounter and if it appears someone is living in a structure or vehicle (fogged or covered window, etc.) we assume two people per vehicle, tent or structure.” According to Custer, it is hard to deter[ more HOMELESS page 4 ]

City staff recommends change in garbage service BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

After 26 years with Waste Management, the administration is recommending a change to the city’s solid-waste contract that could see a new set of trucks picking up trash, recyclables and compost in the city for the next decade. Based on a series of metrics including cost and “qualitative scores” for issues like customer service and the ability to transition to a contractor billing model, the administration is recommending a change to Republic Services, despite the lowest bid coming from the current provider. “Price isn’t the only thing the city is interested in,” Solid Waste

Coordinator Linda Knight told the City Council during a presentation at Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting. According to Knight and Public Works Director Gregg Zimmerman, the city decided to send out a Request For Proposals (RFP) for this year’s solid waste contract in an attempt to get a better price, add services and make a change from a city-billed system to when in which the contractor handles bills and payments. As part of the process, the city did a “pre-release,” according to Knight, including a draft RFP that was designed to allow providers to prepare, followed by the official RFP. After reviewing those, the city altered some of the requirements and asked for “Best and [ more GARDEN page 10 ]

It didn’t become publicly clear until later in the meeting why three commissioners wanted Dr. Paul Joos to hold new elections – Joos was elected the 2016 president just a month earlier.

Two dead from carbon monoxide poisoning BY DEAN A. RADFORD daradford@rentonreporter.com

Two men and a dog died Monday afternoon when they were overcome by carbon monoxide from a car left running in a closed garage to charge its battery, according to the Renton Police Department. The bodies of two men, the 66-year-old resident of the house and a 28-year-old visitor, were discovered at about 3 p.m. by relatives visiting the house in the 500 block of Seneca Avenue Northwest. Investigators determined the resident was running his car in the garage with the garage door down in order to charge the battery, according to Renton Police Commander David Leibman.

Fire officials will visit every school during Heart Month Renton’s Heart Month campaign is an annual effort throughout the month of February to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The 2016 campaign promotes healthy lives free of heart disease throughout the community, and especially in schools. In its 11th year, the campaign aims to reduce the rate of uncontrolled high blood pressure, coronary disease, and stroke by 25 percent, and eliminate the growth of obesity and diabetes. In partnership with the Renton School District, emergency medical technicians will visit all Renton schools to provide health screenings and talk about steps people can take to improve health. The monthlong effort will reach more students than before. “We plan to hit every school, giving more than 3,000 kids direct contact with the fire department,” Fire Chief Mark Peterson said in a press release. “We can have the biggest impact on youth because they have the longest life ahead of them.” In addition, the city has partnered with Valley Medical Center on a media campaign and formed partnerships with several national organizations, including the regional chapter of the American Heart Association, the Hope Heart Institute and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health. Since the campaign’s inception, more than 58,000 people have had blood pressure and blood sugar levels screened, with more than 10,000 citizens receiving alerts for elevated results. “I encourage residents to help reduce the risks of heart disease by taking advantage of the free screenings that are being made available as part of our month-long promotion,” said Peterson. “The screenings only take a couple of minutes, but those minutes could save your life.”

Community Foundation honors ‘Extraordinary Givers’ Some people say; while other people do. On Feb. 11, the Renton Community Foundation will once again honor the people in the community who “do” when they induct the next class of awardees into the League of Extraordinary Givers at the second “CELEBRATE! The Love of Community” event at the Renton Pavilion Event Center. “These are the people who don’t know how to say no when asked,” Lynn Bohart, foundation executive director, said in a press release. “They lead and they inspire others to take up the call.” Winners this year include: Don and Pearl Jacobson; Jim and Char Baker; Judy Schroeder (Lifetime of Giving Award); Dr. Linda Smith

(Patron of the Year Award); Kevin Poole (Rising Star Award); and Chris Spahn and Shannon Avery (Public Spirit Award). Through their combined efforts, 10s of thousands of dollars have been raised for a variety of nonprofit organizations, disadvantaged children have been given their very own dictionaries and warm coats, women have found shelter and help getting back on their feet, homeless kids have been given birthday parties, organizations like the Girl Scouts and churches have received support, struggling children and families have been given advocates, and people have been inspired through the arts. The list goes on and on. In addition to the League of Extraordinary Givers, the Foundation will hand out more than $200,000 in community grants that night to help the homeless, veterans, kids, healthcare, local culture, seniors, the environment,

“The 737 MAX just felt right in flight giving us complete confidence that this airplane will meet our customers’ expectations.” With the other three members of the 737 MAX 8 flight-test fleet currently in different stages of final assembly, the 737 MAX remains on track for first delivery to Southwest Airlines in the third quarter of 2017. The new 737 MAX 8 will deliver the highest efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort in the single-aisle market with 20 percent lower fuel use than the first NextGeneration 737s – and 8 percent per seat lower operating costs than the A320neo. The 737 MAX 8 is the first member in Boeing’s new family of single-aisle airplanes – the 737 MAX 7, MAX 8, MAX 200 and MAX 9 – to begin flight testing. The 737 MAX will extend the Next-Generation 737 range advantage with the capability to fly more than 3,500 nautical miles (6,510 km), an increase of 340 - 570 nmi (629-1,055 km) over the Next-Generation 737. The 737 MAX family has 3,072 orders from 62 customers worldwide.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 took to the skies for the first time this past week. Dubbed “the Spirit of Renton,” the plane lifted off from the Renton Airport on Friday. The 737 MAX program achieved the milestone on schedule which begins a comprehensive flight-test program leading to certification and delivery.

www.rentonreporter.com At the crux of the matter is the strategic alliance between UW Medicine and the hospital district that oversees the operations of Valley Medical Center. For years, the alliance has sharply divided the commission. Joos testified on Jan. 18 in Olympia before a Senate committee chaired by Sen. Pam Roach in support of three bills related to the governance of the hospital district and the strategic alliance. To Sleeter and commissioners Barbara Drennen and Lawton Montgomery, Joos wasn’t clear in his comments whether he was testifying on behalf of himself or the entire commission. Joos introduced himself as an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon and later explained that he had served as commission president for three years starting in 2012 and was elected again in January. “It implied that you were there representing the board, although it didn’t flat out say that you were or weren’t,” Sleeter said. “I think that is probably the point that irritated people.” “You would have been much better if you had said, ‘I am not representing the board’,” she said. Joos told commissioners he was the only one who “bothered” to testify on the bills. He said he wasn’t representing the entire commission in his testimony. Joos was also questioned about his testimony in Olympia at a recent Board of Trustees meeting. Testifying alongside Joos was Anthony Hemstad, who was one of two sitting commissioners who voted against the strategic alliance in May 2011. Former commissioner Dr. Aaron Heide also voted against the alliance. Sleeter and Drennen, who weren’t on the board when the alliance was approved, both expressed support for the alliance. Sleeter practiced obstetrics in Renton for decades before retiring and Drennen is a co-founder of the Pediatric Interim Care Center. Montgomery, a fire captain who won election to replace Heide on commission,

“The car was seldom used and the victim was known to routinely charge the battery by running the car with the garage closed,” he said. When fire crews and police officers arrived, they detected an extremely high level of carbon monoxide in the house, said Leibman. Police initially reported that C02 or carbon dioxide was detected in the house. Investigators found the victim’s car in the garage. The key was in the ignition in the “run” position, but the car was no longer running and the battery was dead. At this point it appears that the car had run out of gas and shut down, said Leibman. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is investigating to determine the time and cause of death. The office hadn’t released the victims’ name before the Renton

Reporter’s print deadline Wednesday. “Detectives and the Medical Examiner’s Office saw nothing to suggest that

in Roach’s committee, including one that requires that voters in the hospital district ratify the strategic alliance The deadline for the three bills to leave Roach’s committee is today (Friday). Joos pointed out that three commissioners – Sleeter, Montgomery and Monson – all ran on platforms that if elected, they would return control of the hospital district to the elected board of commissioners. Under the strategic alliance, a 13-member Board of Trustees, comprised of the five commissioners and eight appointed trustees, oversees hospital operations. All three easily won their elections; Monson beat long-time commissioner Carolyn Parnell in 2015. Joos indicated in his election in 2011 that he didn’t make that promise, but he had concerns about the implementation of the strategic alliance. He said he supports the bills in the state Legislature because that “is clearly the will of the people.” “Clearly the people of the district oppose the governance structure of the UW/Valley alliance and they voted for challengers who said they would fight to return control to

the elected commissioners,” he said, saying the three “have a moral and ethical obligation” to support such legislation. Turnout in hospital elections in November was the lowest in recent years. In 2015, 30.37 percent or 47,359 voters of the district’s 155,959 registered voters cast a ballot. Based on total number of registered voters, 15.7 percent voted for Monson and 13.2 percent voted for Montgomery. Montgomery made his comment about commissioners doing their elected jobs and not lobbying in Olympia. And Monson said he’s “happy” to be associated with the UW but he doesn’t think it’s “appropriate” for appointed trustees to overrule elected commissioners. Sleeter spoke of what she’s learned about the alliance since her election. “To undo everything that’s been done for this hospital would be disastrous,” she said. “It’s time to move on,” she said. She pointed out in an interview that the hospital district and UW Medicine spent about half-million dollars for the courts to decide that the strategic alliance is legal.

said commissioners should concentrate on their elected roles and not lobby in Olympia. He spoke in favor of writing a letter to the Senate committee explaining the board’s position, whether or not it was misrepresented. “This board is neutral on it and we have no bearing on it. Let that process just continue on its own down there,” he said. “Let us set the record straight that we are not there to campaign.” The board later decided to write a letter. Drennen called for a new election at the beginning of the meeting but first wanted each commissioner to voice a short biography. But Joos ruled her out of order, saying that the bylaws call for an election of officers in January, unless there’s a resignation. He told the board he wasn’t resigning. But Drennen wanted to hear first from the board’s attorney, Matthew Harrington, whether Joos’ analysis was correct. Harrington said he reviewed statutes governing hospital commission elections and the commission’s own bylaws. And he had talked with Joos about the matter. The statutes provide for two things: a commission is to elect officers and all decisions by the commission are made by majority vote, he said. “That is the extent to which the law tells us what this board can or cannot do on this subject,” he said. In his view, the board has the power to remove a president, he said. “I think the power to appoint contemplates the power to remove,” he said. The commissioners then spoke about their individual backgrounds. Montgomery then nominated Sleeter for president, seconded by Drennen. No one else was nominated. The vote was 3-2, with Joos and Monson voting no. Montgomery was the sole nominee for vice president. Drennen was elected secretary, after Monson declined the nomination by Drennen. Joos then read a statement. For the first time in months, the meeting was being recorded. He called on the commission to adopt a resolution supporting the three bills

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“It’s time to move on.” Dr. Tamara Sleeter, newly elected president of the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Commissioners, on the continuing controversy surrounding the strategic alliance between the hospital district and UW Medicine

Why this Hawks fan is rooting for the Panthers As Super Bowl 50 looms in the distance, we Seahawks fans are reminded of what happened in the previous two Super Bowls. Two years ago today (I sit here writing this column on Tuesday, Feb. 2), 12’s everywhere went crazy when we crushed the Denver Broncos 43-8. But a year ago yesterday is a whole other story. We are reminded of the decision to pass the ball to Ricardo Lockette from the 1-yard line instead of giving the ball to Beast Mode on second and goal with one timeout and 30 seconds remaining in the game. The interception at the goal line by Malcolm Butler may very well haunt Seahawks and their fans for many years to come. And this year, the Hawks, as much as they stressed us fans out in the beginning of the season and throughout many of their close games, made their way back to the playoffs. But this year the Seahawks did not have the home-field advantage they are so used to having. No one can fault the Hawks for not making it back to the Super Bowl for the third consecutive year; the Patriots didn’t return to defend their title either. But with that said, who should we as Seahawks fans root for on Sunday? And that is what brings me to the main point of this column: I am rooting for the Carolina Panthers to win Super Bowl 50. Now, wait: Before everyone gets angry with me and my decision, let me explain. All season, I have liked the Panthers. I was excited for them to go undefeated, which they fell short by one game when they lost to the Atlanta Falcons in their second-tolast regular season game. When the Hawks traveled to Carolina to face the Panthers in the postseason, the game was out of control. The Hawks played an awful first half but came back after halftime. The Panthers didn’t help themselves by going scoreless in the second half, almost giving up their lead. But with time ticking down, the Hawks didn’t have enough to win. A video of Cam Newton grabbing and throwing a 12 flag from a fan was seen by many Hawks fans, and a petition was even started to ban Newton from returning to Century Link Field. That may not have been the best decision by him, but I don’t think we should hold it against him. Newton is a good quarterback and has led his team to the Super Bowl and a nearly perfect season. Even Richard Sherman has come to Newton’s defense in an interview with 710 ESPN saying that the criticism of Newton is “unfortunate.” An article on MyNorthwest said, “Sherman believes the criticism against Newton is unfounded considering he ‘hasn’t done anything Sarah Brenden

OPINION

[6] February 5, 2016

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Electeds need to make 405 opposition known Open letter to Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee, Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson, Mayor of Renton, Denis Law, and Renton residents: I attended the recent Kennydale meeting where WSDOT’s representatives presented their plans for the I-405 interchange with SR 167 and the I-405 to Bellevue expansion. Once again Renton and especially the Kennydale-area residents are being disregarded in the plans. An area WSDOT itself lists as the number one worst commute in the state. WSDOT original design plans for this section of I-405 provided four new traffic general-use lanes, two in each direction. The present plans for additional traffic lanes are for one each direction. These two lanes will be toll lanes, while increasing the carpool requirement to three. This adds zero to the general-use lanes. The generaluse lanes are congested with truck traffic. It appears to me that WSDOT is more interested in generating revenue than reducing traffic congestion. The recent introduction of the I-405 toll lanes wrong to anyone.’ He hasn’t done anything (bad) off the field or hurt anyone or committed a crime or done anything. He plays the game like a young kid, like a kid’s supposed to play it.” Aside from the Panthers being the National Football Conference champions representing our division, there are some other reasons that make them deserving of the title come Sunday. Linebacker Thomas Davis is in his 11th season in the NFL and has suffered a number of injuries during his career. He injured his knee in 2010 and in 2011, he tore his ACL for the third time in three years. And not to mention, he broke his arm in the NFC championship game and returned to the practice field Monday after having surgery. Timberline High School and University of Oregon graduate Jonathan Stewart is another reason I think the Panthers deserve the W. Stewart has played all of his eight NFL seasons with the Panthers as a running back. He also returned to practice Monday after sitting out last week with an ankle injury.

has driven much of the traffic off of I-405 onto city surface streets. To add to this unacceptable result, it’s my understanding that the 30th Street overpass will not be replaced with a centerline overpass which means any one including transit will have to weave to the congested outer lane to exit, making this exit worse than it already is. This will ensure major increased congestion and accidents. The City of Renton purchased land for a new fire station located on 30th near this exit; it would make no sense to build a new station there if they don’t have easy access to I-405. I strongly urge the Renton mayor, City Council and all area residents to make their disappointment with the WSDOTS expansion plans for the I-405 expansion known. Otherwise you’ll get more gridlock, not less. I would prefer no expansion over the present purposed wasteful and disjointed WSDOT proposal. This section of I-405 needs to be expanded to handle not only todays general use traffic, but also the futures without further interruptions and costs five to 10 years down the same congested road. H.A. Kodis, Renton And finally, another player I see on the Panthers that makes them deserving of the Super Bowl ring is Shaq Thompson. Now, just like Newton, I know there will be Seahawks fans hating me for this opinion, but I am a die-hard Husky fan and I think an ex-Dawg and rookie like Thompson is deserving of the ring. Many Hawks fans know Mr. Thompson posted a video to Snapchat following the Panthers win over Seattle saying “Seahawks fans, I’ve got a message… (bad word), the Seahawks.” Regardless of this video, I see Thompson as the stud who played both offense and defense for the Huskies in his final year at the U and I think he, too, is deserving of the Super Bowl title. So despite how you personally feel about the players or the team, I am still rooting for the Panthers on Sunday and I have a strong feeling they are going to be the new world champions. Go Hawks!

Still too early to work the soil or the lawn but get ready Marianne Binetti

THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER

The beginning of February is when nurseries begin to stock bare-root roses, fruit trees, shrubs and berry bushes. You can plant strawberry, raspberry, roses and trees now as soon as you see them for sale. Bare root means these plants will be sold in their dormant state with no soil around the roots. They may have the roots wrapped in plastic bags or as is the case for strawberries, raspberries and rhubarb plants found sitting in damp sawdust. As long as the ground is not frozen, you can dig in and start planting these hardy plants. Bare-root plants are a great bargain, light weight and

easier to haul home than potted plants. It is still too early to “work” or till the soil for a vegetable garden. Our wet winters mean that the soil is still full of moisture and you risk damaging the structure or tilth when you disturb wet soil. Mowing the lawn may also compact the soil this early in the season so you have a great excuse to postpone cutting the grass until later in the spring. This is a good month to pile compost on top of your vegetable garden area or around roses – just don’t work it into the soil. Q. Do I need to remove the foliage from my blooming hellebores? I started adding these winter blooming plants to my landscape a few years ago after I won a plant at one of your talks. They are doing well, but my neighbor insists I must cut back their

leaves to keep them healthy. R.P., Puyallup A. Early spring is a good time to snip off the old foliage from around the stalks of flowering hellebores so you can better enjoy the blooms and to discourage any fungal diseases that thrive on the old foliage. Laid back gardeners can get away with skipping this task for a year or two; but in our wet climate hellebores do best when the old leaves are removed. Removing the old leaves is especially important if you see black spots or dark areas on the leaves as this is a sign of a fungal infection that could

spread to the flowers and new leaves. To make quick work of this important job grab a handful of hellebore leaves so that you can see where they join the main stalk and snip a cluster of leaf stems all at the same time removing the cut foliage from the garden immediately. On some hellebore varieties you can tug the base of the leaf stem downward and it will detach easily from the main stem. The blooms will be able to star in the spotlight once the oppressive old leaves are gone. More Marianne at rentonreporter.com

No place for this guy to hide his heroin | Police blotter BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. A 30-year-old Lynnwood man almost got away Jan. 16 with hiding his heroin, even inside his body at the SCORE regional jail. He initially struggled with store security after he was stopped outside Target at The Landing for trying to steal a set of HD glasses in his coat and a home-security system in a shopping bag. An arresting officer found wire cutters in his coat pocket. The man told the officer, “I made a bad mistake.” In the backpack, an officer found knives, bear spray and a purse full of unused aluminum foil. He planned to use the foil to cover a security device, although it’s also used to take heroin. He was arrested for investigation of third-degree theft and was searched a second time. At the jail he was strip searched after an officer found drug paraphernalia in his clothes. He was stopped before he could insert inside his body what later tested as heroin. He was rebooked for drug possession. YOU’RE WHO? OH, ARRESTED: Once Renton officers straightened out his identity, they arrested 21-year-old Renton man Jan. 13 on a $50,000 King County warrant. He was stopped after an officer noticed him riding his bicycle on Garden Avenue

without a helmet and no lights on his bike. He initially gave his brother’s name. Officers confirmed his real identity with a portable fingerprint machine, which revealed the warrant for felony violation of a no-contact order. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail. BAD PLACE FOR YOUR STASH: Renton officers found about 50 small plastic bags and a small kitchen scale Jan. 13 after a 33-year-old Renton woman was arrested on North 10th Street on a Federal Way warrant. The bags and scale are typically used for drug distribution. On the way to the police station at City Hall, she squirmed in the back seat, moving back and forth and digging her hands into the back of her pants. She was uncomfortable but the officer searched and found a Crown Royal bag shoved under the front passenger seat. Inside were two bags of suspected methamphetamine and a bag of something not immediately identifiable. And there was something that smelled like marijuana. Now she was being investigated for drug possession with intent to sell.

Following the opening of the bids last fall, staff used a two-part evaluation process that awarded up to 80 points based on cost and an additional 20 points on the “qualitative” measures, which focused on where the proposals differed. Republic scored the highest on the combined metrics, receiving 78 points in the cost score and 17 points on the qualitative side for a total of 95 out of 100. Waste Management received a perfect 80 on cost as their bid came in more than $20,000 lower than others but only received a

score of 7 on the qualitative side for a total of 87. The other two companies both came in with “Best and Final” bids higher than the current contract, which city officials found prohibitive, instead focusing on Waste Management and Republic for the majority of the discussion. But city officials repeatedly pointed out that cost alone was not the only qualification. A major concern for the city was the move from city- to contractor-billing. Because Republic has experience with that and Waste Management does not, the former company received better scores. “We got a lot of input from other cities that have gone through it,” Zimmerman said. Along with the move to contractor billing, the city added a few items to its service contract expectations including increased recycling, additional events and something the city called “premium commercial service,” that would eliminate additional fees for businesses if a gate had to be opened or a container had to be moved in order to be emptied. The city also wanted extended customer service hours. Currently, call centers are available from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. The city wanted the center open until 7 p.m. on weeknights, to allow for resident to get home from work and still have time to call if they needed, and extended hours on Saturday. As part of the “Best and Final” proposals, the Knight said the city actually reduced some of the standards to allow for greater competition, but that Republic met every standard from the beginning and never once changed. Customer service also played heavy into the decision, with Waste Management receiving relatively low scores. In a memo recommending Republic, staff noted a “significant decline in customer service responsiveness and accuracy in the past several years” by Waste Management as well as a “refusal to provide a local customer service center.” As part of the review, the city also checked the companies’ references with other cities and Knight reported that many of the complaints Renton has heard about Waste Management’s customer service was “confirmed by other cities,” according to Knight. “Renton was not the only city having these issues,” she said. The decision now moves to the council, which is ex-

Waste Management may be on its way out of town in favor of Republic Services. LEAH ABRAHAM, Renton Reporter pected to take up the matter during Monday’s City Council meeting. At that time, it is expected the council will choose a provider. Following that, the administration will negotiate a contract. Councilmembers have reported being heavily lobbied by Waste Management officials and drivers since the agenda was released including the new contract and the company had more than three dozen employees in attendance at Monday’s council meeting, with several speaking about Renton feeling like family. For residents, any change should be minimal. Since both bids came in well below the current Waste Managment contract, residents will probably see a cost reduction, though final figures will still need to be negotiated. But aside from that, things should remain the same. Garbage and recycling pick-up will still be every other week while compost and yard waste will continue on a weekly basis. Current bins should still be usable and any special events, such as a spring clean-up will continue to be covered. Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-336-4959.

14 treated for exposure to pepper spray at DSHS office BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Fourteen people were treated for exposure to pepper spray Monday morning after an assault in the Department of Social and Health Services office on Southwest Seventh Street in Renton. Fire crews were sent to the office at about 10:50 a.m. for a person complaining of shortness of breath, according to Renton Fire and Life Safety. A mass-casualty incident was declared after firefighters determined that there were multiple individuals who came in contact with the spray, which can cause temporary blindness when it touches the eyes. Called in were medics, four fire trucks

and five ambulances. The Renton Police Department wasn’t notified of the incident until mid-day on Tuesday and an officer was dispatched to take a report, according to Renton Police Commander David Leibman. Details of the assault weren’t immediately available. Three of the 14 patients were taken to a hospital for further evaluation, according to the fire department. Here are some tips from the fire department for dealing with pepper spray: • If you get pepper spray in your eyes, you will experience an extreme burning sensation. Immediately rinse your eyes with fresh cool water. If the burning persists or

gets worse, seek medical attention. Never rub your eyes. • If you get pepper spray on your face or hands, wash with a mild soap. Pepper spray can be easily transferred. If you have pepper spray on your hands, do not touch your face. Avoid touching your face for at least an hour after washing your hands. Lemon juice can help neutralize the pepper spray on your hands. • If pepper spray is discharged inside or spilled from a leaky sprayer, you may notice burning eyes, scratchy throat, and runny nose. If this happens, open windows and doors to get fresh air circulating in the room. It may take a few hours for the air to completely clear.

Eco Film Series trying to start a discussion Meaningful Movies of Renton showing environmentally friendly films at Carco BY LEAH ABRAHAM labraham@rentonreporter.com

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for Jina Kim to think outside the box. After all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy being a specialist for the City of Renton Solid Waste Program and trying to get residents excited about reducing their waste. So when Kim came across the Meaningful Movies of Renton, a neighborhood film and discussion event that often focused on issues around social justice and advocacy, she knew she could use this forum as a way of informing the community about issues surrounding waste and environmental pollution. The Meaningful Movies of Renton, a subset of the Meaningful Movies Project, was the brainchild of Lara Randolph, member of Sustainable Renton and local environmental advocate. When Randolph and Kim got together, they came up with a perfect solution to promote environmental issues that impacted Renton in an informative and engaging way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an Eco Film Series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really great fit for us because they [Sustainable Renton] had experience on film screenings for the community as well as starting a dialogue about socially relevant issues,â&#x20AC;? said Kim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the Eco Film Series, we are informing the public about waste related environmental issues that are important in maintaining or imReal Estate for Sale Other Areas

proving the quality of life as the City of Renton continues to grow.â&#x20AC;? While shaping the series, Kim and Randolph decided to focus on issues that residents in Renton were facing as the population steadily grows: food waste, plastic waste and water pollution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our movies have been focused on sustainability, not politics,â&#x20AC;? said Randolph. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to educate the community and bring them together, rather than create more divides.â&#x20AC;? The series screened its first film,â&#x20AC;?Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story.â&#x20AC;? According to Kim, the turnout was surprising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had about a 100 people come outâ&#x20AC;Śnot only from Renton but also neighboring cities,â&#x20AC;? said Kim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From attending the event, you could tell there was a lot of interest in the topic of food waste.â&#x20AC;? However, a mere film series is not enough to transform a community to become environmentally conscious and responsible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not expecting behavior change overnight,â&#x20AC;? said Kim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long-term goal that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly working toward. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about involvement and engagement with community. This is something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re committed to in the long run so as people become more exposed to these issues and learn more about it, we can impact some change.â&#x20AC;? The second film in the series, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bag It: Is Your Life too Plastic?â&#x20AC;? is an award-winning movie that chronicles the journey of a man who investigates the environmental and health impacts of plastic bags and merchandise. Both Kim and Randolph speculate that the issue of plastic waste is one that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as popular as food waste.

According to Kim, changing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyle isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy step. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For most people, they want to do the right thing,â&#x20AC;? said Kim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of thinking about these topics a little bit differently and trying to make small changes that are more manageable, rather than making a large change at once that some may find overwhelming.â&#x20AC;? According to Randolph there are easy ways to reduce plastic dependency and change the momentum of a community, such as talking to local store owners about the positive impacts about using paper bags and compostable to-go containers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The real concern is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more expensive,â&#x20AC;? said Randolph â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our real obstacleâ&#x20AC;Ś we want to tread lightly, but forcefully.â&#x20AC;? The free film is set to screen from 6:30 till 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 11 at Carco Theater. There will be a moderated discussion following the screening, and refreshments will be available. The third and final film of the series, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sound & Vision,â&#x20AC;? will focus on water pollution, and is set to screen on Mar. 10 at Carco Theater.
