City Council plans session on libraries

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

The Renton City Council will meet as the Committee of the Whole Sept.

17 for updates on the downtown library and the new library in the Renton Highlands.

Renton voters by a 76 percent margin voted to keep the downtown library over the Cedar River in the Aug. 7 primary.

The next step for the city is to discuss with the King County Library System how to refurbish the Cedar library.

The Highlands library has been in the design phase for some time; it will anchor the Sunset Boulevard redevelopment in the Highlands.

The election was certified Tuesday, with the Cedar library receiving 12,238 votes to 3,781 votes for the library site west of the Piazza. The turnout was nearly 38 percent.

New signals keep Rainier moving

By ADAM McFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com

Managing traffic flow on seven-lane Rainier Avenue corridor through the middle of Renton can be tough enough on its own.

Toss in construction, causing the number and positions of lanes to change, and it can be nearly impossible.

Fortunately Renton brought in some help in the form of ACS Lite. By improving the efficiency of traffic lights, the new software will ease traffic for drivers through one of the most congested areas of Renton.

ACS Lite, from Siemens, is an adaptive traffic-management program. The software uses video to determine “loops” in an intersection instead of the common induction loop system, where an electrically conducting loop is installed in the pavement. When

a car pulls over the loop, it changes the current in the loop and triggers the system.

That is a huge bonus during the construction on Rainier, since “Even with the work crews often construction, have to modify the we are trying to number and locakeep the traffic tions of lanes. Such flowing as well as changes would likely before.” Chris Barnes, result in a frustrating city transportation mess for induction operations manager loops, but the video system can handle them in stride.

The software has been perfected since 2002 and became available for purchase in 2006. Transportations operations manager Chris Barnes said it might be the first use of this software in the state.

“The adaptive traffic management system that is in place, it is where the evolution of traffic signal controls is going,” said Doug Jacobson, deputy public works administrator for transportation. “We’ve been looking for an appropriate opportunity to use it and the Rainier corridor, with things changing during construction, was that opportunity.”

While the Rainier construction provides a good opportunity to showcase the video loop method, the software goes far beyond that. It also adjusts the amount of green time each movement in an intersection has to try to interactively meet the demand.

For example, if 30 seconds of green isn’t clearing all the cars trying to make a left turn, the software will add green time to make the intersection flow better. Jacobson [ more signals page 6 ]

Arts, Antique Walk is Saturday downtown

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Renton residents will help put the city on the map for arts, antiques and kid’s activities this Saturday.

The seventh annual Downtown Renton Arts and Antique Walk is 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

This year’s festivities include more than 60 artists, displaying a range [ more arts page 2 ]

Renton artist wants her work to empower people of mediums from photography, multi-media, pottery to crafts and sculpture.

Conswella Uriola will be one of the featured artists exhibiting her work for sale along South Third Street between Burnett, Main and Wells Avenue South.

Uriola is a long-time resident of the city and attended Renton High School, Conswella Uriola where she was first encouraged to pursue art.

She participated in the first Art and Antique Walk and is happy to be back participating after some years in hiatus raising her three children.

She uses acrylic on canvas to paint portraits

of women and their many hairdos with inspiring messages. Her brightly colored “Women’s Series” features views of the backs of women with the messages artfully written in their garments.

She focused on the backs of the women to portray more of what is on the inside of women in her view, hence the messages.

“I want people to look at my art and appreciate it and then go deeper and look at the wording and have it speak to them and empower them,” Uriola said.

She is a big fan of event sponsor Arts Unlimited of Renton and said the group makes it possible for artists to easily display their work.

“I really appreciate what they’re doing and I want to get more involved,” she said.

“And, try and help them and also help the City of Renton get put on the map for art as well.”

Uriola agrees that there

Conswella Uriola will be one of the participating artists in this year’s Art and Antique Walk in downtown Renton Saturday. tracey compton, Renton Reporter

are more opportunities for artists to display their work, but said the hard part is the up front costs to be a part of shows.

“A lot of times as an artist you’re not making that much money on your art,” she said. “So you work another job, that sort of thing.

You don’t have money to put into art shows up front.

That’s what I love about Arts Unlimited because they just want to showcase the artists.”

Unlike other shows, Uriola is pleased she doesn’t have to pay a commission fee to the group on top of

her sales and entry fee into the show.

“So, it’s really cool and it’s like, why not do it,” Uriola said.

Another Renton organization will help to get kids of all ages involved in the Art and Antique Walk: the Renton Moms Group.

The group is hosting a bake sale and kids’ craft table on the corner of Third and Williams Streets.

Renton Moms Group has about 70 members and organizers decided to participate to offer another fun activity for people and promote their club.

Responsible for a big summer barbecue, Halloween and Easter party every year as well as on-going book clubs, playmates and Mom’s Nights Out gatherings through out the year, Renton Moms Group is all over the city with activities.

At the Art and Antique Walk members will help children make paintings

with their initials.

The group likes to support Renton events and small businesses in the city.

“There’s a lot of people who don’t know we’re available,” said member A’mee Ramstead. “Especially it’s really good for new moms or maybe moms who are new to the area.”

The Art and Antique Walk seemed like an activity right up their alley and the group A’mee Ramstead had success with bake sales at other area events.

The money will go to help moms with families in need around the holidays.

“We definitely support each other,” Ramstead said.

“Quite a few of us have kids with special needs, so it’s nice to have somebody to talk to about that, who gets that.”

In addition to the crafts table for kids and the art on display and for sale, many retailers and restaurants downtown Renton will offer specials during the Art and Antique Walk.

Also new this year will be a European car show from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the parking lot across from the Berliner Pub on Main Avenue South.

Secondary Learning Center is almost open

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Principal Ron Mahan prefers to call the newly constructed Secondary Learning Center a nontraditional school, as opposed to an alternative school, the common name for such education centers in the past.

“Just because older people, when they hear alternative, (they) think dumping ground and that’s not what we are,” said Mahan. “There are a lot of kids who will choose to be there and that’s what we want to hear from them.”

Under construction

“There are a lot of kids who will choose to be there and that’s what we want to hear from them.”

Ron Mahan, principal of the Secondary Learning Center

since summer 2010, the Secondary Learning Center will open its doors to students for the first time on September 4. The center is located at 7800 S. 132nd St. on West Hill and boasts a variety of educational programs and curriculum to fit students’ needs, and also has environmentally conscious architecture.

Every student who comes to the school has gone through an application and interview process.

“They’ve probably been advised and strongly suggested to come here, but it doesn’t really work well when they’re sent,” said Mahan. “And that’s what most older people think when they hear alternative.”

The school will house a variety of programs to fit the different needs of students, but ultimately will help them earn a diploma and other career certification if they want it.

There will be a Virtual High School, where students work remotely online,

The Secondary Learning Center, the site for the Renton School District’s non-traditional programs for middle and high school students, has been under construction since summer 2010, but plans to open this school year. renton School District but use the school as a base to check in. A step back from that are students who will work in classrooms with online coursework at their own speed and assisted by teachers. Other students will work from textbooks in a traditional classroom, too, but with flexible timelines to work at their own pace or faster.

For the 60 middle school students who will attend and also students with bigger learning needs, there will be the traditional model classroom, but smaller class sizes with more readily available help from teachers.

There will be a total of 360 students at the school.

“Most of our students come in behind on credits,” said Mahan. “Some of them just want a different smaller environment too. Some of them are real strong students who don’t like 1,500 kids or a big crowd and are looking for a smaller space, smaller more intimate sur-

School is an environmental teaching tool The Secondary Learning Center will offer its students many opportunities to advance their education, but also offer lessons in conservation.

“The building is actually a teaching tool, for all teachers, but I would say more so for our science teachers,” said Principal Ron Mahan.

The building has meters and lights that alert occupants to the current state of efficiency in electricity, water and gas use.

“At any time in the building the kids can see how are we doing right now on our energy efficiency,” Mahan said. “It even breaks down into levels, if we want to have a competition between sections of the building.”

The building has solar panels, lots of natural light, rainwater collection from the roofline to flush the toilets and rain gardens to capture surface water from the parking lots.

Mahan imagines that a student-led recycle or green club will develop at the center, as well as other characteristics to help give the school personality.

“What we’re most excited about is personalizing it (the building) and we’re going to have the students help us with that,” he said. “We have not chosen the colors or mascot or anything like that.”

roundings.”

The Secondary Learning Center will also have seven Career Tech Education teachers on site, with an IT Academy.

Students will be able to take tests on site to get industry certification on skills in networking and software.

There is a full-time instructor for the culinary arts program and a production art program, focused on the workplace application of art.

The latter program has a graphic design component, but also ceramics and might encompass jewelry and

hands-on crafts.

“It’s kids who need a difference; different style, different learning model, more flexibility,” said Mahan. “That’s our goal to help them find a way to get to graduation or the job or the college that they want to get to.”

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“It’s kids who need a difference; different style, different learning model, more flexibility.” Principal Ron Mahan, Secondary Learning Center

Cedar library win remains solid, as does our commitment to fairness The final results are in and no doubt about it Renton wants to keep its beloved downtown library right where it is, over the Cedar River.

The final vote tally is 76 percent, or 12,231 votes, to 23 percent, or 3,781 votes, for a new library just west of the Piazza.

And what’s satisfying is that the vote total amounts to about 38 percent of Renton’s 44,400 registered voters. Anyone probably would like to see a bigger turnout on such an important issue, but that’s pretty darn good.

Look at the returns this way. That huge 76 percent didn’t budge at all from when the first results were posted on Aug. 7 to when the results were certified on Tuesday. That tells me the 76 percent truly represents the will of Renton’s voters.

Now Renton and KCLS need to get down to the work of renovating the Cedar library and building a new one in the Highlands. No doubt, those who worked so hard to keep the library over the Cedar will watch those talks closely.

Since I have you, I’d like to talk to you a little bit about our position favoring the west Piazza site. We based our decision on the cost of each site and, importantly, the fact the city had already agreed to build a new library just west of the Piazza. That’s enough to get everyone up to speed.

What I really want to write is that the Renton Reporter has a close relationship with our readers.

OPINION

[4] August 24, 2012

rison and I give you something to think about as you mull the big issues of the day, such as the library location. I know you won’t always agree with us; that’s to be expected and much desired.

The only outside pressure that Ellen and I feel is what we put on ourselves to express our opinions in a thoughtful way and only after weighing all the information available to us.

I write our editorials, which is part of my job as editor. Editorials always appear under the header Our View, so you will know that it is the opinion of the Renton Reporter.

I also write a column, which I see as a conversation with you about Renton. I’ve been your editor since January 2007 and before that I covered Renton at various times during my many years with the King County Journal and its predecessors. I have a pretty deep understanding of Renton and how it fits into the larger Puget Sound community.

Those decades of experience have helped

forge my deep commitment to fairness and the important distinction between unbiased reporting and the by-definition biased writing on the editorial page. I do know what hat I am wearing – reporter or editorialist or columnist – when I am sitting at my keyboard.

All that said, I sometimes hear concerns expressed that what appears below my byline is biased. I take those concerns seriously. However, my first question is always, Are you referring to a news story or to an editorial or column? If it’s a news story, I’ll listen closely and, if necessary, I’ll figure out how to do a better job next time.

If it’s an editorial or column, well, yes, that’s opinion.

Thanks for reading.

Letter to the editor Misinformation obscures library’s landslide win The Aug. 10, 2012, Renton Reporter’s (RR) anonymous “Our View” states, “Renton sends strong message about library”! A landslide vote is truly a strong message that our city government needs to acknowledge and follow. But then anonymous Our View goes on to print the same misinformation it has been printing consistently.

Our View needs to be signed by the editor, along with those who make up the “Our.” Letters to the Editor require a signature and this column needs a signature(s).

Local newspapers are important but only if such publishes valid information. The only response the public has to prejudiced reporting is to cease reading the RR and cease supporting its advertisers.

Renovating the Cedar River Library

(CRL) cannot cost more than building a library at the Big 5, which has many obvious problems.

The legal problems with KCLS that keep popping up in print are nothing more than smokescreens. To have our own city attorneys and executive join in the façade is even more disturbing. They have forgotten who they serve.

KCLS is totally supported by property tax dollars, so having KCLS threaten to sue the very taxpayers that support it is ludicrous.

Our elected state legislators would no doubt frown on a tax-based entity suing the taxpayers. That’s something like biting the hand that feeds you, isn’t it?

We citizens need to watch KCLS and the city closely as they make decisions for renovating/updating the CLR and the Highlands Library. Recent experiences have not built trust.

Website offers sex education Having the talk can be awkward, intimidating and downright scary for parents and children alike. But it’s also necessary.

That’s why the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC) launched a new website called 100 Conversations.

“Young people want to be able to get good information about healthy relationships,” said KCSARC executive director Mary Ellen Stone. “And they need it from trusted adults, ideally parents.”

The website is a toolkit for parents, and children, filled with information and conversation starters designed to increase knowledge about sex and safety.

Stone said the idea for the website started a couple of years ago when research started coming in about victimization online; it was those aged 14-20 who were most often harmed.

Because of the common misconception that smaller children were the most likely victims, much of the safety and prevention work was missing the 14-20 group. Stone said the research also indicated that lesbian, gay or bisexual kids, or those estranged from their families were at even higher risk.

KCSARC worked with a group of 10 kids who represent many of those different walks of life to see what

they were dealing with and what information would be helpful.

“That’s what’s different about this website, is that it’s the young people’s voices,” Stone said. “And we know that parents talking to their kids about this is the best thing you can do to reduce the risk of sexual assault.”

That work evolved into the current program, which launched at the end of July.

“Let’s give parents some tools, let’s give them some ways to talk about these issues,” Stone said. “It can’t just be the talk, one time.

That’s where we came up with 100 Conversations.”

The website helps parents take sexual education back into their own hands, teaching their children the values they want them to have.

“There has been this abdication of responsibility and we are very much concerned about that,” Stone said. “Everyone is sort of saying it’s the school’s

responsibility. It’s really all of our responsibility.”

The website covers topics like values, consent, relationships and boundaries.

It also helps teach parents and young people how to

be careful with new forms of technology.

Go to 100conversations. org to get started and go to kcsarc.org to learn more about what KCSARC has to offer.

said the software usually adds time in oneor two-second increments.

The software adapts and make changes every five minutes. Under the old system, the staff would make changes if a problem arose or for special occasions, but the only regular meeting to make adjustments to flow and timing would be roughly once a year. During an average week, there is only a staff member in the control room monitoring traffic about four to eight hours

a week.

“The software is essentially allowing us to be more proactive, because we don’t have the staff to have a person in here regularly,” Jacobson said.

So far it’s worked out very well, having a positive effect on traffic.

“Even with the construction, we are trying to keep the traffic flowing as well as before,” said Barnes.

The catalyst for installing the software was the Rainier construction project, but

Man threatens, harasses interracial couple Boy teaches little brother a lesson, gets arrested

The following information was compiled based on City of Renton police reports.

By ADAM McFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com

Three suspects threatened and vandalized the home of a Renton couple multiple times.

Police arrived at an apartment complex in the 17300 block of 121st Lane Southeast to find writing on the victim’s door with threatening messages references the couple’s race. The wife is white and the husband is African American.

The wife said the problems have been ongoing, includCRIME alert ing a phone call from This week’s… a blocked number two days earlier.

The caller simply stated “I’m coming.”

The night of Aug. 4, the wife said someone began banging on the front door. The husband took their five children to the bedroom, while the wife looked out the peep hole. She saw three men, all white. One was about 5-foot-6 with a shaved head, the second was about 6 feet with a long pony tail and the third was also about 6 feet with medium length hair. After banging on the door, they eventually left.

The night of Aug. 6, someone threw an item at the couple’s bedroom window, causing it to shake. Officers were unable to find anyone or any fingerprints.

Police said they would conduct extra patrols in the area.

Police Blotter

A Renton boy was arrested for assault after punching his little brother Aug. 16.

Police were called to the 1500 block of Harrington Avenue to respond to a disturbance. A 16-year-old boy found out that his 9-year-old brother had been taking knives to school. The 16-year-old punched his brother, knocking him off his bike, to teach him a lesson.

At this point a neighbor came out and told the 16-year-old to stop hitting the child. The two then started to yell at each other and the 16-year-old said he would go get his uncle to deal with the neighbor.

As police were arresting the 16-year-old, he said he wanted to press charges against the neighbor for threatening him. The officers said they did not see probable cause for such action.

Woman steals shoes, food from Walmart

The woman claimed she was going to her car to get her card. The total value of the merchandise taken was $19.56.

Woman pours bleach on boyfriend, attacks A Renton woman was arrested for pouring bleach on her boyfriend Aug. 16.

After a long day of fighting, the 32-yearold boyfriend said he was gathering clothes to leave their home when the 28-year-old girlfriend poured bleach on him. She then tried to hit him with a broom. While fighting her off, the man grabbed her wrists to try to contain her.

Police observed the boyfriend had scratches on both sides of his neck from the ears down, and swelling under his left eye.

They observed no injuries on the girlfriend other than small scratches on her wrists.

The girlfriend said she was trying to ruin the man’s clothes by pouring bleach on them. Police arrested her for fourth-degree

assault.

Couples’ relationship ends in threats A Renton man was cited for harassing and threatening his ex-girlfriend Aug. 17.

According to the 22-year-old woman, when she broke up with the 24-year-old man, he told her to “tell your daughter goodbye” and said his brothers would be paying her a visit.

The two then set up a meeting at the Renton Transit Center. The man told her to come alone and that he had “38mm Hallows.” The woman went to meet him alone anyway.

The two argued about breaking up, with the man refusing to accept the woman’s request to end the relationship. The woman then decided she wanted to press charges.

The woman said the two had been dating for three weeks and this was their first fight.

Police cited the man for harassment.

A Tukwila woman was caught stealing shoes and food from Walmart Aug. 8.

The 28-year-old woman was seen taking a pair of shoes off the shelf and trying them on. She then put her old shoes in the box and put it back on the shelf, wearing the new shoes while walking around the store. Employees said she was also eating food that she didn’t pay for while walking around.

After leaving the store, she was stopped by a police officer.

Machinists raise $2,000 for Guide Dogs Machinists Union Local Lodge 751-E raised more than $2,000 with its recent charity horseshoes tournament near Renton.

The annual event, which benefits Guide Dogs of America, was held for the first time this year at the Red Dog Saloon on the Maple Valley Highway.

“The folks at the Red Dog were great to work with,” said Local 751-E President Ira Caterman. “Thanks to them, and to our tournament sponsors, we had a really good time raising money for a great cause.”

All the proceeds are going to Guide Dogs

of America, a California-based charity that provides service dogs and training in their use free of charge to people who are blind or have impaired vision from across the United States and Canada.

Local 751-E is affiliated with Machinists Union District Lodge 751 in Seattle, which is the top fundraising group for Guide Dogs of America.

District Lodge 751 of the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers represents some 32,000 working men and women at 48 employers across Washington, Oregon and California.

Final legislative results

PDC continues to review complaints

By TRACEY COMPTON ccompton@rentonreporter.com

The Washington Public Disclosure Commission is continuing to review complaints brought during the Aug. 7 campaign to select a location for the downtown Renton library.

The commission is expected to rule on whether to proceed with a formal investigation in two to three weeks, said Lori Anderson, spokesperson for the commission.

Renton businessman Kal Lambert filed a complaint with the commission against Mayor Denis Law and named the Renton Reporter as a witness.

Lambert, who owns Lambert Patent Services LLC in Renton, filed his compliant with the PDC on Aug. 2.

In it, Lambert alleges Law “acted inappropriately with respect to proscribed activities of an elected official” under state law.

Lambert claims Law acted with bias when he quoted the various costs of the downtown library sites ahead of the

Aug. 7 election.

Lambert claims Law did this in an interview with Renton Reporter staff that appeared in the July 20 edition, where he is quoted as favoring one cost estimate over another, presumably to favor one site.

The commission is also expected to make a decision whether to formally investigate the complaints filed by several people against the King County Library System alleging improper use of taxpayer funds to advocate for a downtown library site.

The process for complaints is that a preliminary investigation is done to ask questions informally and gather information. If the information leads the commission to believe there is merit to the questions raised, then a formal investigation is launched.

During the formal investigation, people are interviewed under oath and documents can be subpoenaed. A staff report is written and only after that can formal charges be issued.

The King County Elections Division on Tuesday certified the results of the Aug. 7 primary election.

Voters countywide approved a property tax increase to build a new Children and Family Justice Center in Seattle.

There were several legislative races in Renton. The top-two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to the general election in November. Half the state Senate seats and all of the state House of Representative seats are up for election.

Here are the final tallies in Renton’s legislative district races. The names of the two candidates who will advance to the general election in November are in bold type.

Q. Do you know why it’s important to flush your brake fluid in your automobile?

A. Brake fluid is hygroscopic

3155 NE Sunset Blvd, Renton, WA 98056 661975

Q. What are parasites and can they infect humans?

A. Parasites are bugs or worms that live on or in our pets and are not frequently visible with our eyes in feces. Performing fecal screening tests, makes it possible to detect the presence of parasites in our pets. This testing is important because parasites cause disease and illness not only in our pets but also can be transmitted to our family members (known as a zoonotic infection) and also contaminate our environment.

It is important to know that even with routine parasite screening, it is possible to have an infection lie dormant in our pet and go undetected. Therefore, It is recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to perform semi annual screenings, strategic deworming and to continually keep pets on monthly preventatives like Trifexis or Advantage Multi year round to minimize parasite propagation.

Remember, our pets live more intimately with our families than ever before ....not only residents in our homes but also of our beds which makes parasite prevention key to protecting your pet, your family and your environment from perpetuating the spread of parasitic infections.

Q. Should I get an eye exam if I don’t need glasses?

A. Yes. Periodic eye

and vision examinations are an important part of preventive health care. Many eye and vision problems have no obvious signs or symptoms. As a result, individuals are often unaware that problems exist. Early diagnosis and treatment of eye and vision problems are important for maintaining good vision and eye health, and when possible, preventing vision loss.

A comprehensive adult eye and vision examination may include checks for many systemic diseases including, but not limited too, high blood pressure, Diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis.

The sooner you receive treatment for an eye or vision problem, the less likely you are to suffer complications. Schedule your appointment today.

Deputies review West Hill slaying The King County Sheriff ’s Office midweek was continuing to investigate the fatal shooting of a 22-year-old man on West Hill early Sunday morning.

The death of Minh H. Phu of Renton was ruled a homicide by the King County Medical Examiner. He died of multiple gunshot wounds.

A roadside memorial grew early in the week in the 5600 block of South Langston Road on West Hill just outside the Seattle city limits.

Sometime after 1:35 a.m., deputies responded to Langston Road to a report of shots fired. When officers arrived, they discovered Phu in his early 20s shot and sitting in a car.

The Sheriff ’s Office learned from witnesses that Phu and a few friends were at a nearby residence celebrating the his birthday when he went outside to charge his cell phone in a friend’s car.

Attempts to revive Phu were unsuccessful and he died at the scene.

So far, deputies can’t say whether the shooting is gangrelated. Midweek, they had no suspects, according to Sgt. Katie Larson, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff ’s Office.

“My whole career has been dedicated to helping people achieve school, career, and life goals I am passionate about families being able to maintain their Quality of Life after a loss” David Washington, Agent

by nature. Hygroscopic means that it’s attracted to water. The issue here is that when your fluid starts to turn from a clear color to a darker brown color it means that there is too much water or moisture in the system!

What does this mean to you? There is a tremendous amount of kinetic energy produced when an automobile stops when coming off a freeway at 60mph. This produces a lot of heat in the brake fluid the longer and harder the brake pedal is depressed. As the brake fluid heats the water is more likely to boil or over heat than the brake fluid is. When the brake fluid gets too hot and has water or moisture in it you can get a very soft brake pedal...or worse yet a pedal that begins to travel further and further toward the floor of your vehicle thus offering little stopping power. Generally in most cars today, a brake fluid flush isn’t very expensive, but it is important to make sure no air is introduced into the system during the service. We take great care when flushing the brakes on any vehicle, as air bubbles can lead to a soft pedal feel.

Is Her Beautiful Smile Good Genes, Or Does She Have A Secret?

A smile so natural, only her dentist knows for sure.

Empowered

Eating her favorite foods, free to travel and live the life she wants. Not afraid to laugh or get close to the ones she loves.

Many peers have missing or failing teeth, some even have dentures. How does she do it?

Odds Against Us

Consider this: MYTH:

Tooth loss affects a relatively small group of people.

FACT:

By the age of 50, the average American is missing 4 or more teeth.

MYTH:

Tooth loss is almost always a result of poor oral hygiene.

Virtually every adult will lose a tooth in their lifetime. For many, the suffering doesn’t stop there. As we age, factors ranging from poor oral health to heredity often bring about accelerated tooth loss – so much so that the average American will lose 4 or more teeth by the time they reach 50 years of age.

FACT:

Oral hygiene is important, but

MYTH:

Dental problems caused by gum disease and tooth loss resolve themselves quickly.

Traditional Remedies

FACT:

Most dental problems do not “self-resolve”

MYTH:

Dentures are the only option for those dealing with tooth loss.

FACT:

Dental implants look and feel

Historically, alternatives to failing teeth often involved a lifetime of glues, creams and adhesives and often were accompanied by discomfort and changes in appearance – meaning the options for treating missing or failing teeth could do little to alleviate the physical and emotional discomfort of tooth loss.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are now considered a “Standard of Care” when replacing missing teeth and are often a better treatment option than conventional dental crowns, bridges, partial and full dentures. Dental Implants have been proven to be a more successful long term option when compared to these more traditional approaches.

The appeal of dental implants is very simple: implants look and perform like natural teeth and fit precisely without the need for adhesives. They are permanent and cared for just like natural teeth and restore one’s natural smile.

Refugees find home in plots of Tukwila land

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

They come mostly from the steep farmlands of Bhutan in the Himalayas tucked between India and China.

They know the soil – it nurtures their bodies and their culture.

These Bhutanese, along with a smaller number of refugees from Burma, have come to Tukwila, with the help of the International Rescue Committee of Seattle, to start a new life of peace and freedom.

On land belonging to the St. Thomas Parish behind Foster High School in Tukwila, they’ve found the place to reconnect with their homeland and build a new community in Tukwila.

“This garden is a small piece of home for them,” said Dal Diyali, a caseworker for the International Rescue Committee. “We see a piece of home in our plot; they say it like that.”

That land is a community garden, now in its second season, with 66 plots that measure “This garden is a 10 feet by 12 feet each. Last summer small piece of home was a learning experience for all, for them. We see including what the refugees should a piece of home in plant.

Planting began a month or so our plot; they say it like that.” Dal Diyali, later than desired in 2011, because the IRC and its partner in the proja caseworker for the ect, the Cascade Land Conservancy, International Rescue still had work to do to prepare the Committee soil, build a fence and bring water to the garden.

And the cold wet spring didn’t help either.

All that has changed this year.

The garden is filled with mustard, pumpkins, peas, beans, lettuce and tomatoes, all carefully chosen by the gardeners themselves. They learned what didn’t grow well last year, like the corn that didn’t have enough time to mature.

It’s nowhere to be found.

Chandra Tamang knows the soil of Bhutan, with her long background in farming.

With Dayali interpreting, she expressed the happiness she feels now that she has her own garden again, even if it is small, to grow what she grew back home.

“She is very happy to have this plot and she can produce what she feels like growing here,” said Diyali, who for many years lived in a refugee camp in Bhutan.

Tamang is growing beans, pumpkins, tomatoes and lettuce. The tomatoes are for salads and the lettuce and pumpkins are cooked as a curry, Diyali said. Rice is the staple for the meal.

Dal Diyali, right, a caseworker for the International Rescue Committee, talks with from left, Satya Subedi and Bhawani Kadariya.

Dean a. radford, Renton Reporter

Last year, the gardeners planted seeds the garden organizers provided. This year, they bought their own. But that allowed them to grow what they wanted, he said.

“They found that specific kind of seeds, especially the mustard seeds, green beans, pumpkins and pea,” said Diyali.

This year, the garden expanded from 54 plots to 66 plots.

Fifty five of those plots belong to families served by the International Rescue Committee. Ninety percent of those families are Bhutanese, while the rest are Burmese.

Since he was young, Bhawani Kadariya has grown his own food crops.

“He has a close relationship with the soil,” Diyali said in interpreting the conversation. “He got the chance to work with soil again; that is why he is very happy.”

Chandra Tamang tends to her plot at the community garden in Tukwila near Foster High School. dean A. Radford, Renton Reporter The garden is a source of vegetables they can’t easily find at a grocery store, Diyali said.

First, they had to find the seed.

Taylor Said and jockey Mario Gutierrez held off Winning Machine and Javier Matias in a furious finish Sunday to capture the 77th running of the $200,000 Longacres Mile (Grade 3) by a head before a packed house at Emerald Downs.

Perfectly ridden from the No. 9 post-position, Taylor Said ran one mile horse in 1:33.77 and paid $7.20, $4.60 and $3.20. Michael Puhich is the trainer for owner Glen Todd of Surrey, British Columbia.

A $9,000 yearling purchase, Taylor Said has won six straight and is 7-2-0 in 10 career starts with earnings of $277,971.

Sunday’s victory was worth $110,000, and considerably more in prestige for Todd, who led a caravan of some 16 buses down from Canada for The Mile.

“This is the biggest race in the Pacific Northwest,” Todd said. “I’ve run thousands of horses but this is my first Mile. It’s an unbelievable feeling.”

A 4-year-old gelding by Stephanotis, Taylor Said is the first horse in 42 years to win The Mile after making his previous start at Hastings Racecourse/Exhibition Park, and he’s the fifth B.C.-bred winner all-time.

Winning Machine, ridden by Matias at 119 pounds, held gamely after leading to

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll changed the team's course at quarterback and announced rookie Russell Wilson would start at quarterback for the team's third preseason game Friday.

"We're going to start Russell this week," Carroll said in a press conference. "We're excited to see how he plays with the first unit."

Matt Flynn started the first two preseason games at quarterback, with Wilson spelling him in the second half.

Carroll said the plan originally was to have Wilson start the second game after Flynn started the first. But he went with a gut feeling to start Flynn again.

Wilson has put up impressive numbers, four touchdowns, playing against mostly other

team's reserves. Friday, he'll get a shot against Kansas City's first-string defense.

Carroll said he won't name the team's regular season starter until the week before the regular season opener. Seattle kicks off the season at Arizona Sept. 9.

Seattle drafted Wilson with the 12th pick of the third round in this year’s NFL Draft.

Matias has a had a dream season of his own at Emerald Downs, winning a combined six stakes on Mike Man’s Gold, Champagandcaviar and Winning Machine. And after California speedster Gladding scratched, Winning Machine and Matias suddenly became the speed of the race.

“I thought someone would go early,” Matias said. “I had the inside post, so it made sense for me to take the lead. He ran so big, I’m so happy with how he ran. (Taylor Said) passed us easily, but my horse came right back. I don’t think we

“My horse hesitated once he got the lead. I think he was used to the shorter stretch at Hastings. When Winning Machine came back, my horse kept going.

He’s a fighter, too. This win is very special for me.

Great season under the sun The victory continues storybook years for both Taylor Said and Gutierrez.

the head of the stretch, and was coming back at Taylor Said at the finish. Winning Machine paid $8 and $4.40.

Defending Longacres Mile champion Awesome Gem, ridden by David Flores at 123 pounds, finished third as the 2-to-1 betting favorite, 10 lengths back of Winning Machine, and paid $3.20 for show.

Thoroughbred racing’s leading active earner with $2,881,370, Awesome Gem encountered traffic problems into the last turn, but finished with a strong rally and now has finished first, second and third in three Longacres Mile appearances.

ever got the lead back, but he dug in the whole way.

I had to ride him pretty hard.”

Flores, bidding for his third Mike victory, said Awesome Gem was bogged down in traffic much of the race. A victory would have made the 9-year-old gelding the oldest Mile winner.

“I had to do the best with what I had,” Flores said. “I had nowhere to go outside, so I was just looking for a pocket to go through. I finally got through, but it was too late. The leaders were already seven lengths ahead at the top of the stretch.

“I’m proud of my horse.

Things didn’t go his way, but he showed his spirit.”

Owned by West Point Thoroughbreds, Awesome Gem is 11-15-7 in 52 career starts and is the richest horse ever to race in Washington.
