‘I’m not stupid. They know I did it’ 19-year-old charged with first-degree murder in death of Jessica Scholl

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Jarod Lane wanted to see Jessica Scholl just one last time the morning of May 25, promising he would then leave her alone.

They had broken up about a week earlier after a two-year relationship. Upset, Lane talked with a friend about killing himself.

Now it was about 6:30 a.m. on a clear

Friday morning. Lane was standing on the front porch of Jessica’s two-story home; she was inside with the front door open.

Her parents, Stephanie and Douglas Scholl, Jarod T. Lane had already left for work, so she was home alone with the family’s pet dog.

A visitor at a house across Southeast 164th Street out for a smoke heard them in a serious argument. At about 6:40 a.m. a Lindbergh student walked by and saw Jessica and Lane yelling at each other. He knows them both.

At about 7:15 a.m., the visitor across the street saw the same young man walking away from the house, eastbound on Southeast 164th Street. She later gave investigators a description that fit Lane.

About a half-hour later, Renton firefighters responded to smoke coming from the Scholl home. They found Jessica inside, dead; an autopsy revealed she died before the fire was started in a couch.

Tuesday, Lane, who graduated from Lindbergh High School last year, was charged with first-degree murder in Jessica’s death and first-degree arson for setting fire to her family’s home.

He’s now in custody in an Oklahoma jail [ more jessica page 10 ]

The 11th year of Renton’s Farmers Market at the Piazza kicks off Tuesday.

Promising to bring the usual bounties from local farms and other producers, this season’s spread includes goods from new and returning vendors.

Located at Third Street and Burnett, the market will take over the Piazza from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., every Tuesday until Sept.

25, which is the closing day.

Seattle Bagel Bakery is one such vendor that will bring its famous kettle boiled bagels to the market this year.

Although the company has been in Tukwila for seven years, new management opened a retail shop there in February.

Now owners, AJ and Monica Ghambari, are branching out into the community.

The two took over the business from original owner Allan Thorne in 2010.

Since 1986, Thorne had developed a [ more market page 2 ]

At first glance, it may seem that retired individuals have little need of a lawyer, having already conducted the better part of their lives. The fact is, however, that older individuals face medical and financial issues that are critical to their own and their families’ well-being. To meet these needs, a relatively new specialized area of the law, known as “elder law,” has emerged. Attorneys experienced in this field of practice help embers of the fastest-growing segment of the population address Medicare/Medicaid issues, power of attorney, health directives, wills, estate planning, and a variety of other matters that help uphold their legal rights. This is a legal specialty in which we all have a stake.

If you have any questions about Medicaid planning, wills, trusts, or any aspect of elder law, you clearly need to speak to someone who focuses his practice on these issues. I have more than 35 years of experience providing thoughtful and comprehensive counsel for clients in the area of elder law.

The Renton Community Foundation online spring auction, “The Magic of Spring,” online is under way through today (Friday).

The purpose of the first-ever online auction is to raise operating funds for the foundation, which manages more than $6 million and more than 40 charitable funds.

“This is a simple way to raise much-needed operating dollars without competing with other nonprofits or going to all the trouble of staging a live event,” says Lynn Bohart, executive director.

Participants will still have an opportunity of winning some great items, including trips, local dinners at beautiful homes, artwork, jewelry, collectibles and more. And yet, they don’t have to buy a ticket, get dressed up, or go anywhere, she said.

When they bid on an item, they will automatically be alerted if someone “ups” the bid. They can also enter a “maximum” bid and the system will automatically take care of the bidding for them, up to their maximum bid.

“It’s sweet,” says Bohart.

To participate, visit www. biddingforgood.com, browse the items then register to bid.

He leaves behind a strong Renton Chamber of Commerce that has a new home downtown.

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Bill Taylor has built a racetrack in China, sold those cute PEZ candies and managed a clothing manufacturing company.

And, he has led the Renton Chamber of Commerce through the deepest recession the nation has ever seen, all the while working with the chamber leadership to buy a new chamber headquarters downtown.

That chamber headquarters includes a new visitors center that will act as a beacon to downtown Renton and the city as a whole.

Thursday, after eight years at the helm, Taylor retired as president and CEO of the Renton Chamber of Commerce. He turned 72 on Tuesday.

He can leave knowing he had completed his most important task, as he describes “(The Renton it, securing the chamber) is alive chamber’s fiand well and it has a nancial future good positive future and finding it here.” Bill Taylor, a new home. retiring as president He points and CEO of the Renton to a chamber Chamber of Commerce leadership that understands that today it’s no longer business as usual for chambers, whose main job is to advocate for businesses big and small.

“Renton (the chamber) is alive and well and it has a good positive future here, because there have been boards of directors who get it, who understand the need for it and understand how it should be run,” he said Tuesday.

He leaves with plaudits from members of the chamber board, including chairman Jason Parker, and Suzanne Dale Estey, the city’s economic development director.

“I celebrate Bill,” said Parker, who along with his father King runs King and Bunnys Appliances. “Bill has done a phenomenal job.”

Dales Estey has worked closely

Bill Taylor stands in front of the bright new red sign, donated by Duc Tran, that heralds the new Renton Chamber of Commerce office and Visitor’s Center on South Fourth Street. Taylor retired Thursday after eight years as the president and CEO of the Renton chamber. Dean A. Radford, Renton Reporter

with Taylor on business issues throughout the city.

“Bill has been a tremendous advocate for the business community and the critical partnerships between the major stakeholders in the Renton Community Marketing Campaign,” said Dale Estey. “His leadership, support and deep commitment to Renton will be deeply missed.”

As board chairman, Jason Parker will convene a search committee to find a replacement for Taylor.

But, first, the chamber is putting together a budget that will reflect for the first time that it has a mortgage to pay.

The chamber purchased its new headquarters at 625 S. Fourth St. – an historic train depot that was home to the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train – for $840,000 from Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway.

The chamber had about $110,000 to go toward a down payment, but still needed more. Enough money to bring the mortgage down to $630,000 came with a grant from the lodging tax. The Renton City Council approved the request and the chamber was in business.

But the deal almost didn’t hap-

pen, Taylor said, because of that $840,000 appraisal.

“I would have given up a long time ago, Taylor said.

But it did happen, he said, because of the vision of thenboard chairman John Galluzzo, who suggested leasing the kitchen to the catering company serving the Renton Pavilion Event Center, then eventually selling part of the 33,000-square-foot parcel.

The chamber is planning a major capital campaign, headed by Galluzzo, to reduce or eliminate that mortgage.

Taylor is a Renton native, who points out he has lived in 21 cities, seven states and four countries Taylor started as chamber CEO in January 2005, replacing Suzette Cooke, who is now the mayor of Kent. He came to Renton from Leavenworth, where he held the same job with that city’s chamber.

For years, he was the marketing director for Longacres Race Track, at a time when the track was fighting for its survival.

He served on the Renton Planning Commission.

He has spent is career in business, bringing with him to the Renton chamber a deep under-

standing of how to help a business succeed.

The chamber will hold a grand opening on June 15 at its new headquarters. Taylor likes to point to the many people who have turned what was becoming a derelict building into a showpiece.

Denny Dochnahl donated hundreds of hours in landscaping; Don Jacobson just seemed to be everywhere, and Duc Tran donated the new chamber sign.

Now, Taylor is looking to the future.

A fan of Talbot Hill Elementary School’s MicroSociety program, he plans to remain active in education issues. In all his years as chamber CEO, education was always the chamber’s top priority. He’d like to research his mother’s family line.

He leaves a chamber in good shape, with about 600 members – not far from the high of about 640 members in 2008.

His greatest accomplishment?

“That we are still here. That we are located in a new home,” Taylor said.

Firefighters Liquor sales go private starting Friday to fill bucket on Saturday to help camp

By DEAN A. RADFORD

dradford@rentonreporter.com

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

A fund-raiser for a camp that hosts burn survivors from Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Montana and Idaho is Saturday in neighborhoods all over the Puget Sound area.

In Renton city firefighters will be at the intersection of Benson Road and Southeast Petrovitsky Road, next to the Benson Shopping Center, asking people to “fill the bucket” with donations.

Called the Bucket Brigade, organizers for Camp Eyabsut are trying to raise funds for the camp that was canceled this year by the Northwest Burn Foundation.

While it is expected to return next year, the camp left about 60 to 70 youth in the lurch this year.

As of Wednesday, a grassroots effort led by Jeanette Day, a former planning chair and counselor, had raised almost $30,000. The goal is $80,000.

Money goes toward insurance, food, transportation for campers, activities, supplies and rental of the facilities, Camp Waskowitz.

The camp is scheduled for July 22-28 in North Bend.

Day expects the Saturday fund drive to be significant and said the group will reassess its goal around June 20.

If the group hasn’t met the goal then, she said it will still hold the camp but maybe scale back on days.

There will also be multiple locations in Kent, where volunteers are asking the same of community members.

For more on the efforts visit www.saveburncamp.org or email questions to eyabsut@gmail.com.

Donations can be mailed to: Eyabsut Family Burn Foundation, PO Box 784, Kent, WA 98035-0784.

Today (Friday), liquor is now available for sale at places other than the three state-run liquor stores and the one contract liquor store in the Highlands.

It's the result of the voterapproved Initiative 1183, taking Washington state out of the business of selling hard liquor and putting it in the hands of private retailers.

In Renton about 30 retailers will sell liquor in Renton after applying for new liquor licenses or bidding on the rights to apply for a license to sell liquor at the three state-run stores in Renton.

You’ll find liquor at such large retailers as Costco, Uwajimaya, Rite Aid, Safeway, Walgreens and even Target and such smaller grocers as Saar's Market Place in the Highlands.

State-run liquor stores in Renton and across the state closed throughout the week in phases, leading up to Friday. All stores were closed on Thursday.

Flood district played key role in dam response

By Julia Patters and ReaganDunn

Summer is just around the corner and many of you are looking forward to enjoying the beautiful parks and trails South King County has to offer.

For those of you who live near the Green River trail, we have good news to share. Just in time for the warmer weather, the giant sandbags on the levees along the river will be coming down.

These sandbags served their purpose, but now that flood risk no longer exists, it is time for them to go.

In 2009, the Green River Valley faced a major threat when we learned that the Howard Hanson Dam, which had protected the Valley from flooding for over four decades, was damaged.

People were concerned – homes, jobs, and businesses were in jeopardy of flooding. The region’s economy was at risk – approximately 100,000 jobs exist in the flood area; over 90,000 commutes could have been disrupted; and, according to the Washington State Department of Commerce, a 10-day flood event in the Green River Valley could have resulted in a $1.1 billion loss to the state’s economy.

The King County Flood Control District stepped up to help the Green River Valley prepare for possible flooding. The Flood Control District is a county-wide government created to provide funding and policy oversight for possible flooding.

One of the ways the Flood Control District helped was to pay for the placement of 26 miles of sandbags, which raised the height of the levees along the Green River and provided extra flood protection to the cities of Kent, Auburn, and Tukwila.

The sandbags bolstered the levees for three years while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

repaired the Howard Hanson Dam. The Corps initially estimated it would take four to five years to fix the dam, but they were able to complete the repairs in just three years. The sandbags are coming down because they are no longer needed to fend off possible floods. This is great news for people of the Green River Valley and for the cities of Kent, Auburn and Tukwila.

Under an agreement with the Flood Control District, the cities of Kent, Auburn, and Tukwila assumed responsibility for paying for the removal of the sandbags. Unfortunately, these cities are facing the same budgetary hardships that have plagued many governments due to the recession.

The cities have indicated that now they cannot afford the approximate $5.88 million it will cost to take the sandbags down. Therefore, the cities requested that the Flood Control District help pay for the removal of sandbags.

On May 14, the Flood Control District Board of Supervisors – who are the same elected representatives as your King County Council – voted unanimously to help pay to remove the sand-

As chair and vice-chair of the Flood Control District, we are happy we can help the Green River Valley move on from the fear and threat of increased flooding to our communities.

The Kent Valley is the second-largest industrial park on the West Coast and the fifth-largest industrial park in the nation. After years of concern about flooding in this vital economic area, the removal of the sandbags sends the message that the Valley is open for business, and full public access to a cherished trail in the region is restored. We are excited that trail users will soon be able to enjoy walking and biking without the eyesore of sandbags, while remaining fullyprotected from potential floods. Both of us look forward to seeing you on the trail soon.

Open public dialogue on Teach for America in Renton An interesting thing happened at this evening’s meeting of the Renton School District Board of Directors. During the audience comment portion of the meeting, several teachers addressed the Board regarding their concerns with the District’s intention to sign a contract with Teach for America.

If you are wondering why you have not heard of this plan to hire untrained, non-certificated “teachers” into our schools, you are asking a very good question. The reason is that the proposal has never been presented publically.

Teach for America is a non-profit

organization which recruits recent college graduates and other professionals to teach in low-income communities in an effort to eliminate educational inequity. Teach for America “corps members” are not required to be trained educators or hold any teaching certification, and they are only required to serve for a minimum of two years. They receive the same salary and benefits as beginning certificated teachers, but in some cases are not subject to layoffs – they keep their jobs even if certificated teachers are losing theirs.

Now, Teach for America may

be an excellent program that fills a need in communities where trained teachers are difficult to recruit. But I have to wonder, why does Superintendent Mary Alice Heuschel think that the Renton School District is in need of such a program?

If she is as proud of “our highlyqualified teachers” as she frequently expresses, why would she want to bring in untrained people to teach our children? And finally, if there is a real benefit to enlisting the services of Teach for America, why would the Renton School District do so without publically presenting the plan and involving the community

in the decision making process?

Why are parents not being given an opportunity to comment on the possibility that their child’s next teacher may not have any actual teacher training or certification?

I urge everyone in the Renton School District community to learn more about Teach for America in order to decide if this program is right for our children. I especially urge Dr. Heuschel and the Board of Directors to open a public dialogue, to respect the students, parents and educators of our district enough to include our input.

Lifeguards gear up for summer

Liberty, Hazen to hold special baccalaureate services in June

It’s possibly one of the coolest jobs to work in the summer.

One might get a suntan or not in the fickle Pacific Northwest weather, but one can enjoy being outdoors and take in the view.

However, that view is limited to carefully keeping watch over the happy, sun-chasers frolicking in the water at the Henry Moses Aquatic Center, Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park and “Our biggest Kennydale Beach problem is losing Park. lifeguards in late They all open August as they go June 16 and lifeback to school.” Kris guards will be at the beaches from noon Stimpson recreation to 8 p.m. daily. manager Swimmers can rest assured knowing they’ll be safe this summer.

Approximately 60 new and returning lifeguards start work June 9 and will staff the beaches and water park June 16 through Labor Day. The lifeguards start work a week ahead of the opening of Renton water parks for training.

The city looked for dependability, maturity, good judgement, tact, positive attitude, professionalism and physical fitness when hiring its staff, said Kris Stimpson, recreation manager.

All City of Renton lifeguards have to pass a written test and a swimming skills assessment.

They also have to have current certifica-

The week prior to opening the staff spends time training by taking swim tests, practicing beach guarding and boat skills, emergencyresponse training, rectifying for certain skills and they will organize their supplies as well as other activities.

The minimum age is 16 to be a lifeguard, but the guards at the beaches are usually college-age, said Stimpson.

Last year no patrons to the lifeguarded water areas required CPR, but about 40 patrons

at the pools needed assistance as they were struggling in the water, Stimpson said.

“Our biggest problem is losing lifeguards in late August as they go back to school,” Stimpson said.

The city hired all 45 applicants that they had for open positions this year.

“We take all the 45 applicants, however, they must pass the swim test prior to working,” she said. “Some will not pass. They can practice and retake the test. A lot of guards return, but some graduate from college and move on to their careers.”

Woman robbed of $1,000 in store

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

A Renton woman was robbed of more than $1,000 while shopping in Sam’s Club on May 3.

The 45-year-old woman was shopping in the bakery department of the store located at 901 S. Grady Way around 3 p.m.

She had her black purse in a shopping cart and turned around to discover it was stolen.

It contained her wallet, identification cards for the woman and her 19-year-old son, her Blackberry cell phone, money orders for rent checks, cash and her debit card.

Police were investigating video surveillance of the store.

HOW A BELOVED SEATTLE MARKET HELPS TO FEED THE NEEDS OF

AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

When the owners of Uwajimaya Market wanted to relocate and enlarge an existing store in downtown Seattle, they turned to Bank of America. Since the 1950s, they’ve relied on us for financing to expand their operations, open new locations and grow their business. As a result, they’ve been able to better serve their customers, provide more jobs and strengthen their role as a focal point for the region’s diverse Asian community.

Uwajimaya Market is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.

Suspect held on $2 million bail on $2 million bail, after fleeing about 2,000 miles in an escape he had hoped would take him to Mexico. He’s likely to return early next week to face the charges, after waiving extradition.

Prosecutors have set a hearing for the morning of June 11 at the regional justice center in Kent.

In asking for $2 million bail, prosecutors wrote that Lane is an “extreme danger” to the community.

“The defendant’s attack reflects an individual with no ability to control his anger and a willingness to express that anger through extreme violence upon others,” prosecutors wrote.

Lane also is “an extreme flight risk,” they wrote.

Two Renton Police detectives interviewed Lane in Oklahoma City this week, reporting that he was cooperative.

Renton Police investigators and prosecutors outlined their evidence against Lane in court documents Tuesday.

Jessica Scholl Jessica’s death left her parents distraught and fellow students in tears at Lindbergh, where she was a junior. Hundreds attended a candlelight vigil for Jessica last Sunday night.

“It is just so close to home; my kids and their friends all knew her,” said a mother of two Lindbergh students in an e-mail. “We are all just so relieved to hear that he is no longer on the streets, and the kids don’t have to wonder about where he may show up.”

A memorial of flowers, drawings and photos lines the front of Jessica’s house.

Wednesday morning, 17-year-old Liam Gault slowly paced the lawn of Scholl’s house, stopping to look at the candles, flowers and balloons people left to pay tribute to Jessica. He sat down on the grass.

Gault, a former Lindbergh student, took a flight from California to Seattle Saturday, after he learned about Jessica’s death from friends via text message on Friday.

Gault says he was a close friend of Jessica’s and came to pay his respects.

He attended Lindbergh last year with Scholl but moved to Anaheim Hills, Calif.

“I’m mostly just shocked and mad, but I’m glad that he’s (Jarod Lane) put away,” Gault said.

Jessica’s family has asked for its privacy, communicating with the public in statements issued through the Renton Police Department.

After Lane’s arrest, the Scholl family thanked the Renton police and other agencies for “their diligence” in searching for Lane. They also thanked two TV newsmen in Oklahoma who recognized Lane and called police on Monday.

The family also reflected on Jessica’s relationship with Lane.

“We would like to take this opportunity to stress the importance of healthy relationships and encourage everyone to report known or suspected teen or domestic violence,” they wrote.

In general, baby teeth that get dislodged are not re-implanted due to the risk of compromising the forming adult tooth.

For dislodged permanent teeth, do the following: –locate all of the pieces or whole tooth, hold tooth by the crown not the root and rinse gently with warm water if dirty. Never transport the tooth in water or scrub the root. Place the tooth in either milk or saline solution. The tooth has the best chance of survival if replaced within 30 minutes.

[ Jessica from page 1]

Tragedy has struck the Lindbergh community before, under similar circumstances.

Kathy Chou, a Lindbergh senior, disappeared after leaving her parents’ home on April 18, 2010. An investigation was done and searches made; but her remains weren’t found until July 2011, in a shallow grave near Boulevard Park.

Her former boyfriend, Ezekiel James Watkins of Kent, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges last August.

He remains in the county jail at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent on $1 million bail.

The Lindbergh mom wrote that Jessica’s death has left Lindbergh students bewildered.

“All of the kids are having a hard time understanding why this continues to happen,” she wrote. “It is all so very sad.”

Jarod Lane has no criminal convictions, including for domestic violence, according to charging documents and Renton Police Detective Robert Onishi, a department spokesman.

But, Onishi said, a dating relationship has “a certain emotional weight to it,” much different than a relationship between strangers.

“There is a possibility that things can go completely out of control,” he said.

Lane had told a friend he bought a gold necklace with a flower motif and a diamond to give to Jessica.

On Saturday Lane called his mother on the way to Mexico. He told her he just snapped.

The charging documents give a gruesome picture of what happened inside the Scholl home on May 25. Renton fire crews responded to a fire at the Scholl home at 7:54 a.m.

Inside the house, firefighters found the couch on fire and Jessica on the kitchen floor, with multiple stab wounds and other injuries. They attempted CPR, but she had died. Police were called.

Blood was found in the kitchen, bathroom and Jessica’s bedroom. A kitchen knife with its blade broken off was found near Jessica. A dented frying pan with its handle broken off was on the floor. A fireplace tool was on the counter.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office on Tuesday ruled she died of multiple stab wounds, blunt force strikes and possible strangulation. Her death was ruled a homicide.

While fire crews were fighting the fire and investigating Jessica’s homicide, Lane was calling friends and family to say goodbye.

At about 8 a.m. Lane called a friend in

June 1, 2012 [11]

www.rentonreporter.com

Death ruled homicide [ jessica from page 10] Yuma, Ariz. He told the friend, “I killed her.” The friend knew whom he meant, even though Lane didn’t name Jessica.

The friend told investigators Lane didn’t seem upset, but he was calling to say goodbye and told the friend he was headed for Mexico.

At 8:08 a.m. Lane’s mother called 911; her son had called her at work on his cell phone. Lane told her, “I love you. I’ve done something I’m not proud of. I have to run away.”

At about 8:25 a.m., Lane’s father called him. Lane told him he loved him, but he had to go.

Lane’s parents last saw him at about 6 p.m. on May 24, when they left to go shopping.

At 8:29 a.m., Lane purchased gas at the Union 76 station in North Bend, then headed east on Interstate 90 in his 2001 Mazda Protege. He threw away his cell phone.

He had $1,000 in cash he had saved from his job at an air-conditioning company in Tukwila and $300 he stole from Jessica’s parents.

Lane called his mother again, on Saturday, May 26. He had driven through Colorado and St. Louis and had stolen a Colorado license plate. He told his mom he went to Jessica’s house Friday because it was a late-start day. He knew her parents would be gone.

He just wanted to talk to Jessica, he told his mother.

A Jessica Scholl Memorial Fund has been set up at the Boeing Employees’ Credit Union, where those who wish can make donations at any branch and a portion will be donated to support domestic or teen violence programs in Renton.

Sympathy cards may be sent to her parents, Douglas and Stephanie Scholl, at P.O. Box 1942; Auburn, WA 98071-1942.

Jessica was born on Dec. 28, 1994. In addition to her parents, she is survived by relatives in Washington, Idaho, Nevada, California and Hawaii.

Jessica will be remembered for her beautiful smile, her caring nature, and her love for family and friends, according to her family.

Protege was found near Guthrie, Okla. He was arrested after two TV newsmen recognized him from media reports walking down the street.

Monday Lane also was communicating with a good friend on Facebook; Lane has an iPad. The friend tried to convince him to call Renton police, because he was just a person of interest.

Lane replied to his friend on Facebook: “I’m not stupid. They know I did it.”

PUBLIC NOTICES CITY OF RENTON DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Department of Community and Economic Development has fixed the 7th day of June 2012 at 6:00 p.m. in the Renton City Hall Council Chambers, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, Washington, as the time and place for a public meeting to consider the following: Application by the City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Systems Division requesting a variance from the City of Renton Noise Ordinance, for 20 non-consecutive nights of construction work between June 15, 2012 and November 30, 2012. The items of work to be performed include but are not limited to: • Widening of Garden Avenue North • Widening of left-turn lanes • Installation of additional street lights • Installation of a new and improved signal system The Transportation Systems Division has determined that crews will perform project work at night when there is less traffic on the road.

The Renton City Hall is fully accessible and interpretive services for the hearing impaired will be provided upon advanced notice. For information, contact (425) 430-6502.

Hazen High’s first class to mark 40th anniversary The first class to start at Hazen High School when it opened in 1968 and graduate in 1972, is returning for its 40th class reunion this summer.

The class of ‘72 will celebrate from 6 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., Aug. 25 at Maplewood Greens, 4050 Maple Valley Hwy., in Renton.

The class numbered 381 people and so far 283 have

been contacted for the reunion.

The school has changed quite a bit since the class of ‘72 walked the halls.

“We got our lunches by selecting entrees from a wall of vending machines,” said graduate Nancy Hash.

“Driver’s education was during the school day, cost only $10, used a driving simulation trailer and freeway experience when speed limits were much higher.

Hash’s dad, Norm Hash, was the original vice prin-

cipal and later principal of Hazen.

The gym, lunchroom and many areas of the school were not completely finished at the time, Hash said.

The new playfields, upper gyms, the auditorium and student common area where not a part of the original plan.

Hash remembers a lot of the political turmoil of 1972 and the fashions: platforms, hot pants, miniskirts, suede vests and boots and lots of hair.
