Southwest launches MAX with record order Machinists OK contract extension by 74 percent BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Boeing and the Machinists who build the Next Generation 737s are at peace for at least five years, with union ratification of a
contact extension last week. The Machinists’ request to drop its complaint against Boeing over its 787 assembly line in South Carolina was approved by the National Labor Relations Board. And Boeing continues to sell lots of 737 MAXs, including 150 firm orders from Southwest Airlines announced Tuesday, which ensures the Dallas-based
company will fly the first 737 MAX commercially as the launch customer. Boeing, workers and Renton are all having a run of good aerospace news. While Renton has diversified its business base over the years, those family wages Boeing pays are a backbone of the city’s economy. Building the MAX in Renton ensures the future of
those jobs for decades. The International Association of Machinists District 751 and its 28,000 members, along with other Machinists across the country, made history when they approved the new contract on Dec. 7 by 74 percent. That vote gave Boeing the assurance it needed to move forward with building the 737 MAX
in Renton, where all 737s now flying have been built. “As a result of this vote, we have the strongest commitment to the future of aerospace jobs in Washington state that we’ve ever had,” union leaders wrote to members after the vote. History was made again this [ more MAX page 16 ]

King Parker says goodbye to City Council after 12 years
mittee He leaves behind a clean slate of committee work and a legacy of 12 years on the City Council that will shape Renton for years to come. There was the last time he would say, “Thank you, Mr. Mayor,” at least at a council meeting. There was even one last “Geez Louise.” He listed what he felt were his biggest accomplishments, including developing the Renton Ahead of the
Christmas is the season when residential burglaries and vehicle break-ins increase as thieves try to steal the spirit of the holidays. But neighbors and other shoppers in those vast parking lots can fight back by keeping alert. Renton Police Det. Robert Onishi encourages residents or anyone to call 911 immediately if they see something suspicious in their neighborhood or the community. That means 90,000 pairs of eyes keeping watch, he said, of the city’s popula“The first line of tion. defense is the “The first line of defense is the neighbors.” Renton neighbors,” he said. If something Police Det. Robert Onishi doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t, he said. And it’s a lot cheaper to put all those unwrapped presents in a trunk, rather than paying to replace a broken window on a car. Last week, a residential burglary in the Highlands drew a large police presence as three police agencies - Renton, Bellevue and the King County Sheriff ’s Office – searched for two suspects. Sierra Heights Elementary School kept students indoors and locked doors until it got an all-clear from police. Bellevue Police and sheriff ’s deputies were already on alert because of recent burglaries in those areas. One of four suspects in that residential burglary Dec. 8 in the Highlands was charged Tuesday – and has admitted

Not guilty plea entered in 1978 murder BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
A 51-year-old Nevada man has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of an elderly woman 33 years ago in Bryn Mawr. Ronald Wayne MacDonald, 51, entered the plea last week; he’s being held in the county jail in Seattle on $2 million bail. MacDonald was charged in September with the murder of Arlene Roberts, an
80-year-old widow, who was found dead in her trailer at the Lakeshore Manor Mobile Home Park on Lake Washington in October 1978. Roberts, who weighed Ronald Wayne less than 100 pounds, was MacDonald “seriously beaten, tied up and strangled,” prosecutors wrote in asking for $2 million bail in September.
A King County Police spokesman said at the time there was little hard evidence in the case, although detectives thought robbery was a motive, according to a short story in the Nov. 1, 1978, Record Chronicle. MacDonald had fought extradition to Washington state. A case-setting hearing is 1 p.m. Dec. 22 in courtroom 1201 at the King County Courthouse in Seattle. In an interview at his home in Reno in June with King County Sheriff ’s detectives,

Late-night shooting on Wells injures two BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Renton detectives were pursuing several leads midweek to determine who shot a 22-year-old Seattle man multiple times Dec. 9 in downtown Renton. Detectives spoke with victim late last week after his surgery at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The House of Representatives approved two governor-requested education bills Wednesday designed to prepare more students for work in the aerospace industry. House Bill 2159, sponsored by Rep. Marcie Maxwell, D-Renton, creates competitive grant programs in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Subject to appropriations from the operating budget, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction
would have the authority to allocate grants for three specific purposes. Entry-level aerospace assembly training for high school students Enhanced manufacturing skills programs for skill centers Specialized STEM courses for high schools as part of Project Lead-The-Way “We need to ensure that the aerospace jobs of today and the aerospace jobs of the future are going to students from Washington state,” said Maxwell. “This legislation takes us in that direction.” Project Lead-The-Way is a national curriculum that encourages hands-on learning and projectbased activities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Over 120 high schools in Washington state have incorporated Project Lead-The-Way curriculum into their schools.

MacDonald said it had always been in the back of his mind that his arrest could come someday, according to court documents. MacDonald’s arrest was made possible by advances in print identification technology, which allowed cold-case detectives in 2010 to link MacDonald to fingerprints found at the crime scene in 1978. The case is the 19th cold case homicide filed by the King County Prosecutor’s Office since the office initiated its Cold Case Unit in 2005.

Bob Bridge to sell dealership BY DEAN A. RADFORD
Jet City Espresso to close
dradford@rentonreporter.com
Bob Bridge, longtime auto dealer and supporter of Renton schools, is selling his Toyota Scion dealership to the O’Brien Auto Group. Bridge introduced new owner Michael O’Brien to employees on Monday, with Renton Mayor Denis Law at his side. “I had the opportunity to attend his first meeting with employees where he complimented the entire staff, which he plans to retain, for all they have done to help make the dealership successful,� Law said of O’Brien. The deal is expected to close by year’s end. Bridge has owned the Toyota dealership on Southwest Seventh Street since 1981. About three years ago, he roughly doubled the size of his dealership from 35,000 square feet to 75,000, at an estimated cost of $11 million. O’Brien is the owner of O’Brien Auto Group, which has multiple high-end dealerships in Oregon and Washington, including the Lexus dealership in Bellevue. The group was founded in 1986. Bridge and O’Brien couldn’t be reached for comment. O’Brien is based at Lexus of Bellevue. Bridge has made his mark on

Bob Bridge has owned his Toyota dealership since 1981. 2008 Renton Reporter file photo Renton, not only as a long-time auto dealer but as a staunch supporter with his time and money of the Renton School District. Along with school Superintendent Mary Alice Heuschel, he is one of the driving forces behind the Friends of Renton Schools, which is raising money to help Renton students who need extra help succeed. “Bob has been a tremendous business leader in Renton and he has made a significant difference in our community, especially with his efforts in raising support all these years for
the Renton School District,� said Law. “He plans to remain active in our community.� In 2008 Bridge was named an Outstanding Citizen as part of the Citizen of the Year recognition for his community service. It’s “very good news,� Law said, for Renton “to have a quality businessman like Michael O’Brien as the new owner of Bob Bridge Toyota.� O’Brien has reputation in the region of giving back to the communities he serves, Law said.
TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE CUISINE NOW IN TUKWILA!
Jet City Espresso is about ready to brew its last cup of coffee. Owner Debbie Natelson was told by the building’s owners just before Thanksgiving that her lease will be over as of the end of the year. Jet City has faced this fate before, in late 2008, when the property owners were planning for a major redevelopment of her part of Main Avenue. To prepare for closing or moving, Natelson auctioned some of the treasures she and husband Paul Rollinger collected over the years. But the redevelopment never happened, and Jet City stayed put. Her business has suffered because of the recession, a perception her shop had closed and the addition of new coffee shops downtown. Her landlords indicated to her another business will occupy the building; they couldn’t be reached for comment this week. She has owned Jet City Expresso for almost 22 years. “It’s like your child,� she said. Natelson will continue to sell espresso and other treats until she closes. She’s also selling many of those treasures in her shop. Jet City is open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., although it’s more likely 9 a.m. on Sunday. Jet City is at 207 Main Ave. S. She’s uncertain about Jet City’s future. Opening in another location is a possibility but it’s expensive and in the meantime, customers are lost, she said.

Letters to the editor Take care of the city first The city should stop annexing all together until it can take care of the rest of the city. You have infrastructure problems all over the current city. Fix that!!! All they do is annex and use the money it gets from the feds to pay back for the previous annexing exercise. Each time they annex, the rest of the city suffers, from the oldest sections to the newest sections in that order. The older sections of the city are turning into slums (north of downtown residential and northwest and central highlands are the best examples).

Holidays and the power of one This is difficult for me to say, but my name is Tish and I am an addict. I think this holiday season it’s time for me to go on the wagon. Not the alcohol or rich-food wagon, but the charitable-giving wagon. Requests from deserving charities to help the less fortunate at this time of year are overwhelming. The pleas are like large neon signs flashing before my eyes with such intensity that my giving heart wants to help everyone. But how can I, when the need is getting greater and my funds are getting smaller? Not being able to help everyone is depressing, so it’s best I acknowledge the problem and shut down. Ignoring cries for help, however, will not be easy, as temptations are everywhere. Some tactics I can employ is quickly dumping mail requests, like those from the Union Gospel Mission, in the recycle bin without even taking my name off, at great peril of risking identity theft. When TV and radio stations begin their plea for Northwest Harvest food drives, I’ll change the channel. I’ll politely thank the Marines for their service while ignoring their Toys for Tots bins. Finally, I’ll crank up the volume on my iPod to drown out the Salvation Army kettle bells. With the physical part taken care of, I must now work on the mental. It will require blocking out the disappointment on the faces of seniors, teenagers and little children who didn’t receive their requests placed on giving trees. And the vision that some families will be eating spam and not ham for their holiday dinner is really eating at me. I must control thoughts like these or I surely will fall off the wagon. It’s been reported that Jesus Christ fed thousands with a few fish. But I’m just Tish, and 2,000 years later even with inflation and all, I don’t think my $100 will have the same impact. So, again, if I can’t help all of them, I’ll help no one. Disappointedly, this new program of charitable-giving starvation isn’t providing much relief. Tish Gregory

COMMENTARY
Question of the week:
f it’s lucky, a community is blessed with leaders who give of themselves to make their city a better place. There are two exemplary examples in Renton: Bob Bridge and King Parker, who have made their mark on Renton with their time and their personal resources. Bridge has helped nurture Renton’s economy by stewarding his Bob Bridge Toyota through tough economic times. He has created jobs and been rewarded with the loyalty of his employees, many of whom have been with him for years. And, frankly, his success has benefited the city, through the sales tax all those sales of Toyotas and Scions generate. But his nurturing is far-reaching, all the way to Renton’s classrooms. He is one of the driving forces behind the Friends of Renton Schools, which helps Renton’s kids succeed through its vision and fundraising. His phone calls for donations and other assistance are almost legendary. Simply put, he knows how to get the deal sealed and everyone benefits. King Parker is another master salesman, of stoves, refrigerators – and Renton. He has made a difference, as a City Council member, as a businessman and as a supporter of numerous organizations, including the Renton Community Foundation, and the city’s schools. Monday was King Parker Day in Renton when the City Council and the rest of Renton recognized Parker for his years of service. He was and still is one of Renton’s most positive forces and one of its best ambassadors. Parker is retiring from the City Council (but NOT King and Bunnys) and Bridge is selling his dealership to what we hear is another community-minded owner. Bridge and Parker deserve our heartfelt thanks and our gratitude that they will remain active in Renton.
The depression I had before at not being able to respond to every request, is just as debilitating as not responding to any. I tried being blind to the need, but when you really want your memory to fail you, it doesn’t. A giving heart cannot just go cold turkey. In need of some therapy, I thought I would start out slow with my own one-step program - 1 – 1 – 1; i.e., one charity, one bag of food and one gift. I’ll turn my thinking around from helping no one, to helping just one. Adopt-a-Family programs like those sponsored by St. Anthony Parish or the YWCA are good fits for my recovery plan.

These are positive steps, but I will always be concerned about those I didn’t help. To rid myself of the guilt, I will need a support group. Support from others is critical and requires trust. Trust that they will see the need and help others less fortunate, even if they, too, can only follow the one-step program. In doing so, I’ll gain confidence that the needs of the community will be met - not by just one giving heart, but many. This is one time I can feel good at falling off the wagon.

Harambee offers cold shelter Shelter is a project of Harambee, Catholic Community Services, Renton BY TRACI TATE UW News Lab
The first emergency cold-weather shelter has opened in the City of Renton. In past years those who needed shelter would have to be transported to Auburn or Kent shelters. This winter, people in need can go to the Harambee Center, 316 S. Third St. Karen Bergsvik, human services manager for the City of Renton, said “the center will be activated when weather is 32 degrees or lower with imminent snow, or weather that involves a safety risk lasting for 24 hours or more.� The shelter will be open November through March, depending on the weather. Hours are 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. and it’s prepared to shelter 50 homeless residents of Renton while also providing a warm meal every Saturday night. The Harambee Center is also used as a place of worship for the Soma comCold munity. Pastor Caleb Mayberry and Pastor shelter John Prince are both The cold weather shelter will be operexcited about the ated on a first-come, first-served basis. shelter. People seeking shelter from the cold can “We have built enter anytime during the night, as long as a presence here space is available. with the homeless To determine if the shelter will be community,� said open, call 425-430-6600 between 8 a.m. Mayberry. “We have and 5 p.m. developed a relationship with the homeless and I think the city caught wind of that. When I came here about seven years ago, the founder of this church had a vision for this building to be a multi-purpose benefit for the community and so this is in line with that mission.� The Harambee Center offers meals every Saturday between 4 and 6 p.m. Its website describes it as “The Refuge: a homeless ministry which provides a warm place to have dialogue, eat a meal and receive personal hygiene kits and tools to survive without shelter.� Prince said working with the City of Renton to accomplish the goal of opening up its doors was not challenging at all; together with Catholic Community Services they were able offer its building. Renton provided $10,000. The nonprofit Harambee Center offers a broad range of services to the community, including after-school programs, church services, dinners and now an emergency shelter. But Prince said they still need help from the community in all aspects of their work.

A possible Sky sighting in Renton The following information has been compiled based on City of Renton Police reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
A Puyallup man thought he saw Sky Metalwala, the 2-year-old boy missing for several weeks on the Eastside, at the IKEA store in Renton on Nov. 12. He contacted Renton Police on Nov. 23 to report the possible sighting. He told officers that the child with a couple who spoke either Russian or Ukrainian looked like the missing Sky. The boy was asleep in the stroller; a girl
around 6 years old was with the couple, too. The man told officers he called the tip line set up by the Bellevue Police Department about two days after seeing the couple and child at IKEA. A Bellevue detective told him to ask the Renton Police Department to obtain store security footage from Nov. 12.
An overwhelming smell of pot A 20-year-old Renton woman was arrested Nov. 21 after her 42-year-old roommate called police about the smell of marijuana coming from her room. Officers responding to a home in the 2300 block of
Honey Creek Ridge
Northeast 13th Street at CRIME ALERT about 7 p.m. asked the This week’s‌ woman to step out of her bedroom. From 10 feet they could smell an overwhelming odor of marijuana coming from the room, along with billowing smoke. Inside the room were three teenaged boys, whom the officers recognized from earlier contacts. They denied that the 4.12 grams of marijuana and a pipe belonged to them; they were told to leave. The woman told officers the marijuana and pipe belonged to her. She was booked into the SCORE jail for investigation of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Police Blotter
Pellets fired at apartment Someone fired pellets at an apartment window in Merrill Gardens on Burnett Avenue the evening of Nov. 26. A resident heard three gunshots, peaked out the curtains and saw three people standing on Williams Avenue. In the morning, he discovered his window was broken.

How women and men handle diabetes
The differences between women and men include how they view the effect diabetes has on their lives, according to a recent survey. The study, conducted as part of a collaboration between WebMD and Rite Aid, found that women, more than men, reported that diabetes had a greater negative effect on their emotional outlook as well as their compliance with diet and exercise. “The survey results make sense when you consider women play multiple roles— employee, homemaker and caretaker, often for both children and parents,� said Dr. Carolyn Daitch, director of the Center for the Treatment of Anxiety Disorders and a psychologist with 30 years’ experience treating anxiety in patients with chronic medical conditions. “Having ready access to resources such as a pharmacist who can provide guidance and tools for selfcare and practical, easy-toimplement recommendations for a healthy lifestyle can be very valuable in helping manage diabetes.� Other Findings t )BMG PG UIF XPNFO XIP reported being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes say they feel overwhelmed, while less than a third of men report

Taking the battle out of bedtime may be less of a nightmare with the help of some pediatric sleep specialists. For example, many parents don’t know that some kids have trouble falling asleep because they are too tired, says Jennifer Waldburger, LCSW, one of the co-founders of Sleepy Planet. Some children can become overtired and some parents may be trying to put them to bed too late. Most children need to go to bed between 7 and 8 p.m., and if they don’t, they may become too stimulated. Even with an early bedtime, many children may need some activity before bedtime—some games or playtime after dinner—to help them calm down. If your child is still stalling, he or she may want to talk about something that is causing anxiety, such as their day at school. Offering kids some choices can help. Ask which pajamas they want to wear or which stories they want you

Here’s to finding my Irish roots in downtown Renton great-grandfather on my mother’s side who came to the New World from Ireland). But aside from the freckles and fair complexion, everything I know about what it means to be Irish I learned from Kells and the Anglo Irish literature I studied in college. A Terrible Beauty reminds me a lot of the first time I went to Kells. I had just turned 21 when I stepped into the famous Seattle pub above Pike Market in Post Alley. I was too chicken to order a Guinness, (black beer?) but had enough good sense not to order a Bud Light. I stumbled into ordering a pint of Harp. It wasn’t long before the
bitter lager taste on my inexperienced palate soon became a fast friend alongside the live Irish folk music and the rowdy merriment and sense of camaraderie made my freckles pulse. Awakening a sense of family that I belonged to. I felt like I had been transported to Ireland. It was an evening of firsts. The first time I heard of Molly Malone. And my favorite of all was learning The Unicorn Song — something to be sung alongside my friends, our arms flung over each other, our pints raised aloft. “There were green alligators and long neck geese!� I began to sing, wrapping my arms around Patrick and Ty who were sitting next to me at A Terrible Beauty. “Mommy!� Patrick cried. “Are you singing about Alligators?�

LIFE IN THE CITY
It was Friday night and I toyed with the idea of ordering a Black and Tan: a blend of Guinness and Harp that layered perfectly in a pint glass like a two-tiered petit four. Just the kind of beer to enjoy at an establishment like A Terrible Beauty: a 7,000-square-foot Irish pub operating in downtown Renton since 2010. However, our family was firsttime customers, we made the assumption that it was a 21-andolder kind-of-place. Not so. The upper-floor seating flanked above the lower floor providing an inviting open space and like a hungry eagle I surveyed the new territory from high above: a poster of JFK, a grand old bar and the pleasant acoustic guitar accompanied an impressive cover of a Cranberries song. I’m Irish (family lore dates a

Irish stew a hit of evening with kids at A Terrible Beauty [ CAROLYN from page 12] asked pulling my chin in his direction. The kid loves reptiles. “And the loveliest of all was the unicorn!� I said, hugging my son tight, happy to be with my family in this venue that had evoked so many happy memories. When done right, Irish pubs just have that special something: Equal parts good comfort food, cozy, dark wood, green, stained glass, and the sense of being surrounded by people enjoying themselves — especially on a cold winter night. “Let’s let Mommy enjoy the moment,� Paul, my husband, said flashing me a smile. I watched him scuttle Patrick and Ty over to a nearby foosball table. Sophie and Amelia hung back with me enjoying a cover of a Beth Orton song. “This Irish Stew is sooooooo good,� Sophie exclaimed. I make vegetable beef soup all the time—but this was Sophie’s first Irish Stew. It occurred to me that I hadn’t talked to
my kids much about my Irish heritage as I glanced down at a quote on A Terrible Beauty’s menu cover. “Now and in time to be, Wherever green is worn, Are changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.� The quote was from Yeats. The poem had inspired the name, A Terrible Beauty. A memory flashed of my UW professor half sitting on the top of an empty desk. It was a small class. He wore thick cords, a Celtic wedding band and tweed jacket with leather elbow patches reading aloud in a thick Irish brogue this famous Yates poem Easter, 1916, about the Irish insurrection against the English. I couldn’t think of a better place (barring a family trip to Ireland) for my kids to get a taste of their heritage than here at A Terrible Beauty. After all, food and literature are vehicles to learn more about the historical roots
of a people and place — why they ate the food they ate and why they wrote what they wrote. The hearty Irish stew Sophie was enjoying was the product of a culinary tradition where Mutton was the dominant ingredient in Irish dishes because the economic importance of sheep lay in their wool and milk produce so only old or economically nonviable animals ended up in the cooking pot, where they needed hours of slow boiling. I never thought I would enjoy these memories with my kids. And yet here we were together at an Irish pub and restaurant in Renton! You don’t have to be Irish to feel a part of the community at A Terrible Beauty and thanks to its owners they assured it’s a family affair.
I love suggestions! If you know of people or places in Renton that surprise, delight and inspire the community, drop me a line at carolyn@pippimamma.com. Also follow Carolyn on her blog, www.pippimamma. com.

[ BURGLARIES from page 1]
she was involved in burglaries earlier in the day. Stephanny Shabri Johnson, 23, who lives in the Seward Park area of Seattle, is out of custody after posting $5,000 bail after her first court appearance on Dec. 9. Johnson’s role in the burglary on Northeast 19th Street just west of Duvall Avenue was to knock on the door. No one answered, so she returned to a waiting green Buick backed into the driveway, according to charging papers. Three other suspects then entered the house. A resident upstairs investigated after hearing a bang, when the suspects kicked in the front door. He found one of the suspects, a female, standing in his parents’ room. She used an expletive, then yelled, “Someone’s here.� The drawers had been pulled from his mother’s dresser and placed on the floor. A male suspect ran into the bedroom, closing the door behind him. The female told him “We’ve got to get out of here.� She ran downstairs and the man fled out the secondfloor bathroom window. All four then left in the Buick. Sheriff ’s deputies stopped the Buick just minutes after it left the house at a 2:10 p.m. because it matched a suspect vehicle in a burglary earlier that day in Newcastle. The two male suspects fled and were still at large mid-week. The younger of the two women stayed and was arrested. Johnson was inside the car. Johnson told investigators she was involved in several burglaries earlier on Dec. 8, what charging papers describe as “a spree of burglaries spanning from Renton to Bellevue and Newcastle.� Onishi would not define the Highlands burglary as a home invasion. Instead, would-be burglars first figure out whether anyone is home, either by knocking on the door or checking out a side yard or back yard. If someone answers the door, burglars may claim to be selling something or looking for someone.

He put on a festive red cap, with two cans of Bud Light beer strapped to the sides. “This will be my Monday nights,� he said and the crowd laughed and applauded. Mayor Denis Law recognized the personal and professional commitment Parker has made to the community. “There is no question in anybody’s mind here that Renton is a much better city, thanks to everything you have done,� Law said. Law recognized Parker’s contributions to the city by declaring Monday, Dec. 12, as King Parker Day.

With four seniors who provided the bulk of production and played the bulk of the minutes for the Hazen boys basketball team now gone, you should expect to see a different team this season. One thing you shouldn’t expect to see: A sudden drop in production. “There’s an expectation amongst all our guys that we’re looking to stay at that level we were at last year,” said first-year coach Ryan Thompson. “We’ve got a good group of kids; it’s just a matter of us starting to pick up everything that we’re putting in.” The Highlanders lost three starters from last

guard Frankie Johnson has been starting for the team for the past two seasons. He averaged six points and 3.9 assists per game last season [ more HAZEN page 19 ]
Things are different for this year’s Liberty girls basketball team, but the Patriots have still been able to pull out close wins while trying to find the right chemistry. “Everybody is still trying to figure out their roles,” said Liberty coach Randy Leifer. “We’re considerably shorter this year and a little quicker.” With Danni Sjolander (6-foot-1), Halie Ericksen (5-foot-11) and Sophie
Safley (5-foot-8) gone to graduation, the Patriots lost a lot of size and scoring from last year’s district-playoff team. The leading returner is 6-foot senior Aspen Winegar. Winegar was second on the team with 10.3 points per game last year and third with 7.3 rebounds per game.

to again be a yearly league and playoff contender. By that he means the team that went 39-10 from 2006 to 2008. Since then the team has struggled much of the time. The Eagles have gone 2-14 [ more EAGLES page 19 ]
17.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. “She’s a stabilizing force,” Leifer said. “She’s someone we can count on for points and for rebounding.” The team also returns sophomore point guard Sierra Carlson, who started last year as a freshman, and senior guard Megan Tsutakawa. Carlson averaged 6.3 points and 2.4 assists last season. Tsutakawa chipped in 3.7 points per game last year. This season, Carlson is second on the team at 8.3 points per game. Stephanie Yea is third with 7.0 and Delane Agnew has 4.5. The Patriots are 5-0 overall and 3-0 in league play.

Gritty defense leads Liberty Lindbergh has first JV team in three years BY ADAM MCFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
If there’s one thing Liberty boys basketball coach Joe Fithian knows for sure about his Patriots, it’s that they will play hard on defense. “They’re gritty,” Fithian said. “We don’t give anybody a steady diet of anything and the guys are all really in tune to what we’re trying to do.” Fithian said he lays out the team’s defensive game plan, tailored to stifle the opposing team’s strengths, before each contest and more often than not, the Patriots are successful. The drawback for the Patriots comes on the offensive end, where the team will struggle to score points at times. “We’re going to go as far as our offense carries us,” Fithian said. “That’s our Achilles Heel. We just can’t put the ball in the hole consistently.” Fithian said good teams have a player
who can take over the game when needed and SEASON score at any time. The difficulty for Liberty is that their best offensive player, Tynan Gilmore, is also the team’s point guard. So Gilmore has to balance distributing the ball to the rest of the team, while also getting his own shots. Another factor was Kellen Birdsall’s injury. Fithian was expecting Birdsall to be one of the team’s outside shooting options, but Birdsall broke his leg the week before the season started. Gilmore is leading the team with 14 points per game this season. Fithian said Robbie Thomas has improved greatly on the offensive end since last year. Thomas is second on the team at 9.2 points per game. Other key players are Jordan West, Ben Wessell and B.J. Demps. Liberty currently stands at 2-3 overall and 1-2 in the KingCo 3A/2A, good for fourth place in the league.
PREVIEW
[ EAGLES from page 18 ] and 9-10 past two years. But through that 9-10 record the progress was already visible. Lindbergh won five straight games during a late-season run to get in playoff position. “We want to get back to the playoffs,” Dodson said. “We’ve just got to go play our game and let the chips fall where they may. Our mindset is to just go win every game.” The team starts with senior Emily Graver. At 5-foot-10 with great ball skills, Dodson said Graver will start at point guard but move around to different positions at times during the game.

the team’s ceiling. “With the new system we’re not going to be great right away,” he said. “We’ve got a very high potential to be very good at the end of the season.” Hazen’s record so far is 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Seamount.

One factor that will put Lindbergh on the right track is that the team finally has solid numbers. With 21 players, the Eagles now have a JV team for the first time in three years. “It just makes it a lot easier,” Radulovich said. “We can scrimmage lot more and we have more options out there.” Lindbergh is off to a 3-2 start with a 2-1 record in league play.

“We’ll see how far she’ll take us,” Dodson said. “Emily is a fundamentally sound player, she just has to put it all out there. We go as she goes.” Graver has established herself as one of the league’s best players and a tripledouble waiting to happen. She led the Seamount in assists last season with 4.4, and added 15.9 points and 10 rebounds per game. “I just want to have fun, it’s not a matter of how many games we win,” Graver said. “But I think we’ll do better than we have done.” Another key player is senior Sarah Radulovich, who missed most of last season with an injury.

House OKs Maxwell aerospace measures The House of Representatives approved two governor-requested education bills Wednesday designed to prepare more students for work in the aerospace industry. House Bill 2159, sponsored by Rep. Marcie Maxwell, D-Renton, creates competitive grant programs in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM). Subject to appropriations from the operating budget, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction would have the authority to allocate grants for three specific purposes: t &OUSZ MFWFM BFSPTQBDF BT sembly training for high school students t &OIBODFE NBOVGBDUVSJOH
skills programs for skill centers t 4QFDJBMJ[FE 45&. DPVSTFT for high schools as part of Project Lead-The-Way “We need to ensure that the aerospace jobs of today and the aerospace jobs of the future are going to students from Washington state,� said Maxwell. “This legislation takes us in that direction.� Project Lead-The-Way is a na-
tional curriculum that encourages hands-on learning and projectbased activities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Over 120 high schools in Washington state have incorporated Project Lead-The-Way curriculum into their schools. Another Maxwell-sponsored STEM bill approved by the House today, HB 2160, requires the

of
Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) to incorporate STEM knowledge and skills into the teacher certification process. “Math and science are very important to both life skills and job skills in the twenty-first century,� Maxwell said. “Our elementary and secondary teachers must be prepared to teach and integrate STEM literacy for current and future careers.� HB 2159 was approved by a vote of 77-18. HB 2160 was approved by a vote of 93-2. Both bills went to the Senate for further consideration.
