Maxwell wins 3rd term; West Hill saying no Bob Hasegawa wins 11th Senate seat By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
State Rep. Marcie Maxwell of Renton has easily won a third term to the state Legislature representing the 41st District. Maxwell’s was one of a handful of key legislative races in Renton in Tuesday’s general election. She was challenged by Tim Eaves, an Issaquah Republican. She had a
substantial lead over Eaves following the release of initial results Tuesday. Wednesday’s results were delayed past the Renton Reporter press deadline because of technical problems with the ballot scanners. Maxwell, a Democrat who holds the 41st District’s House Position 1, has been a leader on education and business issues in [ more Maxwell page 10 ]
Renton involvement would end BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
After more than a decade of discussions, West Hill residents are making it clear they don’t want to annex to Renton. A final vote against annexation would end the City of Renton’s discussions with King County about who will govern
West Hill, according to Mayor Denis Law. Annexation to Renton was failing by about 10 percent points after the initial release of votes in Tuesday’s general election. At the same time, West Hill residents were voting overwhelmingly to increase their property taxes to preserve fire [ more West Hill page 7 ]

said the VA offers a continuum of housing programs, ranging from emergency to permanent residences. The emergency housing is accomplished through partnerships with local agencies. Gerard said [ more veterans page 11 ]

A trip to a park is sometimes full of surprises. For two best friends, a trip to this Renton “park” brought them face-to-face with a lurking “siff lord.” Their story, as told in the four-minute film “for Renton FilmFrenzy V,” is the winner of the People’s Choice Curvee, determined by online voting at rentonreporter.com The film was produced by Lief Zimmerman of Renton, who will receive the People’s Choice Curvee at the Renton City Council meeting on Nov. 19 from the Renton Reporter. The Best Picture Curvee and other top awards were presented at the Curvee Gala on Oct. 23. The Zimmermans attended the gala; Lief Zimmerman said his daughters [ more FRENZY page 2 ]

Their daughters Abigail and Emma, who spent the four minutes trying to vanquish the ghost, the siff lord, were the stars. Lief Zimmerman’s father James held up the wire on which a four-foot Barbie, representing the siff lord, traveled through the greenbelt. This is how Zimmerman
describes his film: “The stage where their life and the life of their imagination plays out becomes frightening when the paranormal is exposed – a siff lord is lurking.” The reference to siff – the Seattle International Film Festival – was one of “curveballs” thrown at filmmakers in the 50-hour competition in early October. The Zimmermans are already trying to decide what film to make next year. “I want to make it a little easier,” he said. The girls wrote the film the first night and he worked on its “continuity.”

School district hoping to sell forested properties By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Noticing a turnaround in the housing market, the Renton School District has started the process to sell several pieces of undeveloped land the district owns. However, the district faces some opposition in the Tiffany Park neighborhood from people who don’t want to see about 20 acres of land become single-family homes. The district is planning public community meetings and hearings on the topic throughout the month. “We wanted to start the process to sell the land back in 2008, but, the failing U.S. economy and housing market caused us to change our minds,” wrote Randy Matheson, district spokesperson, in a email. That isn’t the case anymore and although the district has had no interest from anyone to purchase the land, officials are working with a broker to set the price and make the sales final. One of the properties is at the north end of the district, near Hazelwood Elementary School and measures about 10 acres. The other is near Tiffany Park Elementary School. The district has owned them both for decades and they are zoned for singlefamily residences. The district received a petition with more than 200 signatures from people in the Tiffany Park area who don’t want to see the densely wooded property developed. “I don’t want to lose the woods,” said Renate Beedon. She is spearheading the opposition with her husband Dave. “And the reason for that is not personal. I don’t want them to cut down this wildlife and this piece of nature here.” Renate and her husband routinely walk the trails through the forested area with their dogs as do neighbors, they say. Children in the area use the property to build the occasional fort or treehouse. In

the summer and on the weekends, there is a group of young men and a few women who play war games with air soft guns in the woods. “When we walk over there with the dogs, they holler, ‘Civilian, cease fire,’” Renate says laughing. “For years they’ve been doing this.”

The Beedons heard about the sale of the land through a district press release posted on the district’s website. They immediately informed their neighbors, gathered together and decided to officially oppose any development plans. Renate wants people to know that they aren’t opposed to the sale, just development. “It’s just a neat place to go and play and visit,” said Dave. “From an adult’s viewpoint there’s some interesting vegetation back there that’s not easy to come by.” The Beedons have also seen deer, coyote, a bobcat, mountain beavers, woodpeckers, squirrels, birds and a large murder of crows. Some neighbors claim to have seen a bald eagle.
Dental care is crucial during the first year of life.
Proper care for baby teeth is important as it serves several critical functions:
• It establishes a dental home for your child by their first birthday, helping ensure a lifetime of good oral health. • It develops good nutrition by permitting proper chewing. • It aids speech development. • It helps proper development of permanent teeth by saving space for them.

The couple met with Matheson to discuss the sale of the properties recently. “We had a really nice conversation with him and I think he realized that we’re not against the school,” Renate said of Matheson. “We’re more interested in preserving the woods than anything.” The Renton School Board will decide whether to move forward with the sale of the properties after the community meetings and public hearings, Matheson said. “The district will present the board with a proposal to move forward with the sale, as the property is not usable to build a school and holding on to the property is not good business sense or in the best interest of being good stewards of taxpayer dollars,” Matheson said. The School Board will make its decision on Dec. 12 at its regularly scheduled meeting. If approved, the district will work with an outside broker to sell the properties. In the meantime, the Beedons are exploring the possibility of raising enough money to purchase the land with the help of others. They have talked to different environmental organizations and they’ve contacted the City of Renton. They heard back quickly from the Mayor’s Office, saying the city doesn’t have the funds to purchase the property or plans to do so. From assessment records, the Beedons have reviewed the property close to Tiffany Park and it is valued around a million dollars. “We’re learning you know,” said Dave Beedon. “We don’t really know what can be done. We’re just putting our feelers out and hoping to find something that works.”

Gun drawn in Safeway gas pump altercation Crime

verbal fight escalated. He went into the kitchen and grabbed a plate to holder over her
head to scare her. He accidentally dropped the plate and it broke on the floor. His sister called him a name, so he went and got another plate and proceeded in the same course of action. He said he then accidentally dropped the second plate on the girl’s head, causing her to lose consciousness. Police arrested the man for seconddegree domestic assault.
A gun was drawn after an altercation at a gas station Oct. 8. According to witnesses, a 40-year-old man was displeased with how long a 21-year-old man was taking to fill his car at the gas station at the downtown Safeway. The older man started yelling and cursing at the younger man, then aggressively walked at him. At this point the younger man pulled a gun and told the older man to back away. Both men got on their phones and called 911. The younger man went to the other side of the gas station and put his gun away to wait for the police. Police determined there was no crime because the younger man feared for his safety. He attempted to get away from the aggressor and then waited for the police to arrive. He has a concealed weapons permit.
Man returns from long trip to find apartment lived in A Renton man’s apartment may have been burglarized in September. The 46-year-old man returned from a long trip to California to take care of his ailing mother to find his apartment on Lake Washington Boulevard dirty, and an IKEA bookcase missing. He said it appeared someone had been living in the apartment. The man believed the suspect is the apartment complex maintenance worker, because the worker knew the man was leaving town. He said management had a crew clean the apartment. Management said they did not send a cleaning crew and had no record of anyone entering the man’s apartment while he was gone.

A Seattle man was arrested for possessing methamphetamine Oct. 18. The 25-year-old gained police notice when he drove by without wearing a seatbelt. The officer started to follow with his lights and
siren on. The man did not pull over and the officer noticed the driver was bending over and doing something. When he finally pulled over, the man didn’t have driver’s license or ID with
him, but gave his name. He had warrants out for escaping custody and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was also driving with a suspended license. While officers were arresting him they found a plastic baggy in his pants pocket which contained what was later confirmed as 0.76 grams of methamphet-
amine. Closer examination also revealed that the temporary permit on the car was a photocopy that had been altered.

Renton man faces charge in fatal I-5 crash ington State Patrol, according to the King County Prosecutor’s Office. Drugs and alcohol were involved in the crash, the state patrol reported. Firefighters and rescue crews responded to the crash at 2:30 a.m. Sunday on southbound Interstate 5, about a mile south of 320th Street in Federal Way. A tanker truck went
off the roadway, smashed through a concrete barrier and burst into flames. South King Fire and Rescue reports that the truck was hauling 9,000 gallons of aviation fuel. The crash killed the truck’s driver, who was identified as Joseph E. Bartkowski, 68, of Sumner. According to the state patrol, a Nissan Altima was
traveling on southbound I-5 when the vehicle collided with the guardrail along the right side of the road. The vehicle came to rest in the roadway. All four occupants got out of the vehicle and moved to the right shoulder of the road, according to reports. A Toyota Camry was traveling southbound and collided with the Altima driven by the Renton man. The Camry’s driver got out of the vehicle and moved to the shoulder, according to the state patrol. The tanker truck was traveling southbound when it collided with the Altima, veered off the road and down an embankment, where it crashed through a sound wall. The truck rolled and caught fire.
A Sumner man died Sunday after his tanker truck caught fire following a collision on I-5. South King Fire and Rescue

[ West Hill from page 1] services. “A majority of West Hill residents that voted on the annexation issue have expressed their desire to remain part of unincorporated King County,” said Law in a statement issued mid-week “This decision allows us to end discussions regarding governance for this area and focus our attention on serving Renton citizens,” he said. That 10 percent margin continued to hold after Wednesday’s results were released. That’s a strong indication that the percentage likely won’t change much. On Wednesday, the vote was 45 percent for annexation to 55 percent against annexation. The roughly 14,000 residents of West Hill live in unincorporated King County, which has warned them that service levels will continue to drop because of cuts in the county’s budget and it’s vision of serving only rural areas. West Hill is a potential annexation area to Renton; a divided Renton City Council had voted to place the annexation measure on the general election ballot. “I think the community is a little smarter and sophisticated than folks gave us credit for,” said Paul Berry, who led the opposition to annexation. He said those who voted no were “not seduced” by the “beautiful promises” from Renton that life would be better as part of the city. Where services would improve wasn’t
that clear, he said. And, residents feared the loss of their own fire department, which he called the “spiritual heart of the community.” He said annexation would reduce fire services; city officials disagreed with that contention. Berry said he wouldn’t rule out another effort to annex in the future, but there would have to be “substantial changes” in the governance proposal. He pointed to the possibility of a regional fire service, similar to one that includes Kent and other South King County cities. Policy makers and government officials in Renton need to learn to appreciate what the residents of West Hill really want and what they value, he said. Some people might want to raise chickens and some are not “terribly interested” in increasing housing densities, he said. “There was a sense that people in Renton viewed us as poor step-children,” he said. Dian Ferguson, who has served as spokeswoman for the pro-annexation side, remained optimistic Wednesday morning, but if annexation is defeated “we will be highly disappointed.” Annexation is the way to have the growth, economic development and the social services the community needs, she said, and serve the needs of West Hill’s young and old. Some people are frightened of change, she said. “Some people will need to experience the total deterioration of the area before they say, ‘I should have done something different’,” she said. If there is another annexation effort, other proponents will have to lead it, she said, pointing out that the group has worked on annexation for more than 10 years. “It has to be new energy,” she said. Law said the City of Renton worked “unsuccessfully with King County staff for over several years in an effort to

bridge the funding gaps that we would face by providing city-levels of services to the area with an inadequate tax base from the area.” He pointed out the county recently stated it plans to continue to reduce services to unincorporated areas, especially in road maintenance and repairs, “which will have longterm impacts to this community.” In terms of public safety, he said the city hopes “that West Hill residents will demand that the King County Sheriff ’s Department meet the staffing promises required to meet the high-levels of crime in the area.” Law said there are many “dedicated residents in the West Hill area committed to making their community a safe and vibrant place to live and conduct business. “We feel this area has been neglected for many years and that it’s important that the county work with community leaders in finding ways to address their goals and reasonable expectations of county services,” he said.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
“You don’t send boats with men ashore if you’ve got great big waves.“ veteran Fred DeBerry
Tribes pick up slack in producing hatchery fish I love this time of year. The chinook, coho and chum are coming back and we’re filling our smokehouses and freezers for the coming winter. I am proud to say that a good number of those returning fish came from our tribal hatcheries. We produce more than 40 million young salmon every year. Last year we released about 14 million chinook, 6 million coho, 20 million chum, 125,000 sockeye and 650,000 steelhead. Most tribal hatcheries produce salmon for harvest by both Indian and non-Indian fishermen. Some serve as wild salmon nurseries that improve survival of juvenile fish and increase returns of salmon in our watersheds that spawn naturally. At a time when the state is cutting back on hatchery programs because of a huge budget shortfall, tribes are increasingly picking up the tab to keep salmon coming home for everyone who lives here. Tribes are doing everything from taking over the operation of some state hatcheries to buying fish food and making donations of cash and labor to keep up production. That’s because we believe hatcheries play a critical role in fisheries management. Without them, our treaty rights would be meaningless because there would be no salmon for harvest – by anyone. Hatcheries must remain a central part of salmon management in western Washington for as long as lost and degraded habitat prevents our watersheds from naturally producing abundant, self-sustaining runs. We can’t allow hatcheries to be an excuse to walk away from protecting and restoring habitat. In fact, we can’t have hatcheries without habitat. That’s because once a salmon leaves a hatchery it needs the same habitat as a naturally produced salmon. Both need plenty of cool, clean water, good instream and marine nearshore habitat and access to and from the ocean. Because every watershed and its salmon are unique, we believe that the use of hatcheries should evolve over time depending on the health of our watersheds. Those with little or badly damaged habitat will likely need long-term or even permanent hatchery production to provide salmon for harvest and stock restoration. For watersheds where habitat can be restored, hatchery production may be reduced over time as the habitat is able to support abundant, naturally spawning runs. Hatcheries are a tool. Nothing more. Nothing less. We have hatcheries because of choices made in the past and choices that are still being made today about how we treat our environment. We think hatcheries work best when they work hand-in-hand with good harvest management and are combined with protecting and restoring habitat. That’s because hatcheries are not a substitute for plentiful, high-quality habitat and never will be. Billy Frank Jr.

How small businesses can have a very merry holiday season By Calvin Goings Small Business Administration
Customers are starting to have visions of sugarplums and snowflakes; small business owners visualize increased sales. The holiday shopping season is just around the corner and according to the National Retail Federation’s Holiday Consumer Spending Survey, holiday sales will increase 4.1 percent. Prepare now for the holiday rush. As customers prepare for holiday shopping, increase sales by ensuring they are walking through your small business’ doors in Renton. Whether it’s financing your seasonal working capital needs, updating your marketing plan or hiring temporary workers, the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) can be your guide to maximizing sales this holiday season. Financing seasonal working capital needs? If you need help meeting your short-term working capital needs, SBA’s CAPLines program can help. From contracting to purchase orders, CAPLines provides financing through a revolving line of credit. CAPLines can help small businesses manage their cash cycle, scale up and create jobs. Hiring temporary or seasonal workers? If you plan to hire temporary or seasonal workers, be aware that some of the laws and regulations that apply to full-time employees differ from those that apply to seasonal or part-time employees. Take time to review the publication Equal Employment Opportunities Law – Who’s Covered? It will help you determine whether a
person is an independent contractor or an employee, and which is covered under federal laws. Remember, labor laws still apply to seasonal workers, as do some benefit and tax laws. Need marketing tips? Use your website and social media to promote your business – Online presence, email marketing, and social media networks are great ways to target and connect with local consumers during the holiday season, whether it’s through timely updates, compelling calls-to-action, promotions or discounts. Host an Open House – Use the holiday season as an opportunity to “open” your business and give customers an opportunity to check out your merchandise or holiday menus. Get Involved in Community and Charitable Events – Supporting a charity or sponsoring a community event is a great way to generate awareness for your business during the holidays. Think of ways to get involved, such as offering volunteer services, equipment or space. The holiday season can be overwhelming for some small businesses. With strong sales, it’s also the season that can ensure you stay in business for the rest of the year. Remember, the SBA is here to help. Our goal is to provide the tools and resources for small businesses to start, grow and succeed. Visit SBA’s website www.sba.gov to learn more about preparing your small business for the holiday season or to find your local SBA office for one-on-one service.
Calvin Goings is the regional administrator of the Small Business Administration.

Valley Medical trauma specialist certified Elspeth Mann, a Valley Medical Center trauma specialist, has earned her credentials as a Certified Specialist in Trauma Registry (CSTR). Although there are 88 trauma centers in the state, Mann is one of only six CSTRs in Washington. As a trauma specialist, Mann pores over Emergency Department patient files, coding injuries and mining the minutia for data. This data is then transferred to the Trauma Registry where it is used on a state, national and international scale. While the data serves to improve patient care, sometimes it creates an impetus to

improve national product safety standards. The Trauma Registry data on car accidents caused by running red lights was responsible for designing side air bags in cars. Among the requirements for CSTR certification are at least two years of full-time experience, or the equivalent of 4,000 hours in trauma registry practice and passing a rigorous Certification Examination for Trauma Registrars. “The data I’m inputting is helping hospitals and people around the world improve patient care—that makes my job satisfying,” says Mann.

A Salute to Veterans
Four veterans who made America a safer place to live For FRED DEBERRY, serving during the Vietnam War meant that America’s fighters wouldn’t face an enemy no one can vanquish – really bad weather Fred DeBerry served in the U.S. Navy as an aerographer's mate, second class, from 1964 to 1968, during the Vietnam War. In this position as basically a weatherman, he was responsible for gathering weather information for all the amphibious landings. DeBerry served on board the USS Eldorado and the USS Princeton. "You don't send boats with men ashore if you've got great big waves," he said. "You can't land helicopters over there, if it's cloudy and raining so you can't even see. So, weather is kind of critical to that kind of warfare, very critical." DeBarry enlisted in the Navy, thinking it would be more interesting and because he didn't want to be drafted into Fred DeBerry an Army position he wouldn't like. "I'd never been on a ship; I thought that'd be fascinating," he said laughing. "Well, I got my wish." Although DeBerry feels very patriotic today, he says, he had no concept of war when he entered the Navy. "I had no background to understand it," he said. "And once I was in I think I certainly respected those who did a lot more than me. I respected those who had served in the past, certainly World War II and Korea." DeBerry was serving with men who had served in those wars and stayed in the service. After moving on from the Navy, DeBerry finished college and became a pastor for Calvary Baptist Church in the Highlands.
FYI Serving our veterans The Renton Reporter’s Tracey Compton interviewed four veterans, all members of the American Legion in Renton, to learn about their service to our country. The interviews were conducted just before an American Legion open house at which legion members explained the many services and programs provided to veterans of America’s wars and their families. Renton’s veterans are served by a number of organizations, including the Veterans of Foreign Wars, with posts in downtown Renton and Skyway. And Renton has a new Veterans Affairs office that helps homeless veterans find a place to live. On Saturday, veterans from across the region will gather in Auburn for the 47th annual Veterans Day Parade and Observance. The parade starts at 11 a.m.
JOHN KING joined the Army to escape iron mines of Michigan, ended up working as aviation mechanic on the front lines of the Korean War John King joined the U.S. Army in 1949 to escape the mines of Ironwood, Mich. At the time it was tough to get a job in the country. “Up in Ironwood, it was all iron-ore mining and I did not want to go to work in the mines,” King said. So, he opted to join the military under the condition that he could work in auto engineering or be a mechanic. King became an aviation mechanic working on light aircraft during the John King Korean War. He was a sergeant in an artillery battalion and every time the front line moved up, his unit moved with it. They would stay at a site for two or three days and move on. King kept a neatly penned journal of all of their destinations in a little notebook. After his time in the Army, King went to college and got a degree in mechanical engineering. He went to Bendix and worked in a test lab, testing automotive brake parts. It wasn’t long after that he was hired at Boeing.

FITZ CERNY escaped communism in Czechoslovakia, only to join the Army to go back and fight the ‘commies’ two years later Fitz Cerny joined the U.S. Army in 1952 to fight the “Commies,” as he calls them. Cerny was born in southeast Germany, which is Polish now, and in 1950 escaped from Czechoslovakia to flee Communism. He was a sergeant and arrived in Korea the summer of 1954. When asked why he served this country, Cerny replies, “Well, I had no place to go and so I joined the U.S. Army to fight the Commies, who screwed up my homeland.” Fitz Cerny Thanks to congressional authorization, Cerny was able to serve in the U.S. military even though he was a foreigner. He saw it as not only an opportunity to “lick the Commies,” but become a U.S. citizen and go to college on the G.I. Bill. In Korea with much of the shooting over, Cerny patrolled the military zone. He got out of the Army in 1957 and pursued mechanical engineering in college. Boeing hired him in 1961 and that’s how he moved out to Washington state.
Hostage situation at the U.S. embassy in Iran, family history motivated ROD HAYNES to join the Navy Rod Haynes was motivated to join the U.S. Navy five months after the U.S. embassy in Iran was run over by students, who took hostages. He was also compelled to serve because many relatives had served before him. “We have it in our blood and (because of) the situation in Iran with Ayatollah Khamenei. Haynes served between 1980 and 1991, in Beruit, Lebanon. He was in Beruit during the attack at the Marine compound at the airport, where about 241 Marines were killed. “A single truck drove into the lobby, with 20,000 pounds of explosives and it detonated and pancaked the building,” Rod Haynes Haynes said. He was 8,000 yards off shore and saw the explosion. After serving his country, Haynes eventually came to work in social services. He currently works for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

A Salute to Veterans
Homeless veterans can get fast-tracked for housing [ Veterans from page 1] they have 22 emergency beds available, but they would like to have more. “That’s our gap,” she said. “But typically we can find somewhere for the veteran to go that day.” The Renton office also works through various partners in the community to provide transitional housing. “What we’re looking The partfor are the veterans ners receive who actually need funding from the intensive case VA to management house services too.” veterans Katherine Gerard for up to two years. The center has 274 transitional housing units available. It has nearly 1,100 HUD-VASH apartments for permanent housing. HUD-VASH is a partnership between Housing Urban Development and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing. HUD provides Section 8 funding for the veterans, while VASH provides case managers.
Mocha said HUD-VASH is a fast-track program. With the veterans entering the system as priorities, they avoid the lottery usually used to select members of the general population. Gerard said getting Section 8 funding can take three to five years for non-veterans. With HUD-VASH that approval can happen in a matter of months, depending on the seriousness of the situation. “What we’re Paul Mocha looking for are the veterans who actually need the intensive case management services too,” Gerard said. “So the individuals you see out on the corners who look disheveled and actually are homeless, those are good HUD-VASH candidates. People who just need cheaper housing aren’t good candidates.” The VA does have a Homeless Prevention Program for veterans. It can help veterans who are recently homeless or provide funding for eviction prevention. The VA also offers a mental health rehabilitation and treat-
ment program at the American Lake office. Veterans can go live there for up to six weeks to stabilize, then move into housing.
Finally finding a home One veteran who was willing to speak with the Renton Reporter about his experience with the VA has gone through the full continuum of housing options, finally finding a permanent home at the Compass Center. For privacy reasons, his real name is omitted and he is referred to as John. John always wanted to go to Alaska. After an honorable discharge from the army and while working on his horticulture degree, he decided he would take the trip. He bought a plane ticket from Seattle to Alaska and made his way to Seattle early, leaving himself a couple of days to do the tourist thing. The Emerald City ensnared him. The economy was booming, he found a job in his short stop in Seattle, and didn’t leave. Things were good. But that wouldn’t last. “I did well for a while, but you know how that goes,” he said. “I was up and down.”
The number to call for help The Renton office can’t currently handle walk-ins, but housing director Katherine Gerard said she hopes it will have open-door hours by early next year. They are just waiting for a few more building updates. Walk-ins can be handled at the Seattle office. Veterans can schedule a screening at the Renton center by calling. “If they can’t get here, we go to where they are,” Gerard said. “There’s so much need, especially in this area. When we do open the doors, I think we’re going to be
busy.” Veterans looking for help should call 1-877-424-3838. That number can route them to any service at any location they need. VA employees are constantly going out into the community to find veterans who need help. You can let them know if you see a homeless veteran who needs help. The Renton center services mostly South King County, but veterans from anywhere can go to any VA facility to receive help.

ment, coffee in hand. His love of horticulture is easy to see with the multitude of plants saturating his rooms. This is a man at peace with his surroundings.
Searching for a job He’s a year sober and he’s working with Social Security to get a job without losing his benefits. He doesn’t want anything fancy, a nighttime janitorial position would be just fine for him. “I don’t do well in social situations, so something where I could put my headphones on and just do my job would be great,” he said. All of this progress may have been possible without the VA’s help, but it certainly would have been a massive long shot. “You see those panhandlers out in downtown Seattle,” John said while holding up his fingers with the slightest gap in between. “This is how close I was to being out with them. If it wasn’t for the VA, anything is possible in this world, but I’m pretty sure that would be me.”

John’s anxiety, depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, exacerbated by a decades-long battle with alcoholism, eventually left him nearly hopeless. Then John said he “accidentally” found out about what benefits the VA had to offer, when he was going through some especially tough “For all the dumb times things I’ve done in and an my life, that was acquainone of the smart tance told ones. Any veterans him he should who are out there go to the struggling, I VA.

Finally, after things got tougher he went in. “For all the dumb things I’ve done in my life, that was one of the smart ones,” he said. “Any veterans who are out there struggling, I would definitely recommend the VA.” Now he lives in one of the permanent residences at the Compass Center.

hunger, or at-risk youth. “Renton Community Foundation works every day to help address the most pressing issues facing our community,” said Larry Warren, foundation president. “In a down economy, with limited resources and a growing need for services, we are more determined than ever to bring our community partners together to find innovative and effective solutions to some of our most challenging social problems.”
Community foundations are independent, public entities that steward philanthropic resources from individual donors to local nonprofits. The Renton Community Foundation manages more than 40 individual charitable funds, and $6 million. Last year, the foundation granted more than $400,000 back to the community to address a broad array of community needs. In addition, the foundation has been instrumental in supporting
the efforts of Friends of Renton Schools, a group dedicated to raising money to support academic achievement. The foundation also awards 10s of thousands of dollars in scholarships each year, and conducts the annual Circle of Giving Campaign, which raises and distributes money to the Renton School District and local charities. “Community foundations represent one of the fastest-
growing forms of philanthropy in the country,” says Lynn Bohart, executive director. “Every state is home to at least one community foundation. However, not every local community has one. We are fortunate to have a very successful one right here in Renton.” For more information about the Renton Community Foundation, or how to establish a charitable fund, visit www. rentonfoundation.org or call 425282-5199.

Renton’s Tala Hild won a district title in the 100 fly this year after missing last year with an injury By ADAM McFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
It was all going according to plan. Renton’s Tala Hild had qualified for the state swim meet in both her freshman and sophomore seasons. Things were only going to get better. Then, after her sophomore swim season, she got dealt a tough blow. A torn bicep tendon and subluxation of the shoulder meant surgery. And surgery meant she was out for an extended period of
time. “It was frustrating. I cried because I would have to miss all my sports,” Hild said. “Watching everybody else swim was kind of hard.” The road back to being competitive was tough. “It was rough on her because she couldn’t swim and she felt like she let the team down,” said Renton coach Diane Pavelin. The two spent the summer figuring out what and how much Hild could do.
“It was a little bit of a mental block of what I was able to do rather than what I was actually able to do,” Hild said. Pavelin said Hild’s approach to swim helped during the recovery. “Tala’s a smart kid,” Pavelin said. “She’s very aware of and in tune with what she needs to do as far as swimming. She doesn’t get caught up in the emotion of it.” Pavelin had Hild working on the 200 free for most of the year in case she wasn’t able to do the fly down the road. Hild finally swam
the fly at a meet Sept. 25. “She felt good and looked good,” Pavelin said. “That was really gratifying to see after everything she’s been through.” And she’s even faster than before. Hild won a district title in the 100 fly last week. She also finished third at districts in the 50 free. She will swim both events, and as part of Renton’s 200- and 400-free relays, at state this weekend. The 2A state meet prelims start at 9:45 a.m. Friday. The finals start at 10 a.m. Saturday.
All three Renton football teams fall in playoffs Orting 31, Lindbergh 20 The Lindbergh football team lost to Orting 31-20
in the preliminary round of the state tournament Friday.
The Eagles (7-3) took an early 7-0 lead when Daniel Wiitanen rushed in for a one-yard score. Orting answered with 17 points in the second quarter. Cam Callen and Joseph Simpson each scored rushing touchdowns in the third quarter to put Lindbergh
back ahead 20-17. Orting scored 14 points in the fourth quarter to take the lead and the win. Ferndale 22, Hazen 16 Hazen fell to Ferndale 22-16 Saturday night in the preliminary round of the state tournament.
Do baby teeth really matter?
YES – they matter a lot! Decayed or decaying baby teeth can potentially represent active infection in the mouth. Anytime there is infection in the body or mouth, it requires immediate attention by a physician or dentist, respectively. Long term, if baby teeth are left to rot, fall out, or get extracted, there is greater potential for permanent teeth to grow in and shift requiring future orthodontic care.
The Highlanders (5-5) scored first on a run by Joe Glaefke, but Ferndale would score in the second to take the game into the half at a 7-7 tie. Ferndale scored the clinching touchdown from two yards out with less than a minute left. Bremerton 26, Renton 0 Renton didn't have an answer for Bremerton Friday night and lost 26-0 in the preliminary round of the state tournament.
The Indians (4-6) struggled on offense, turning the ball over five times. Kennedy 35, Mountlake Terrace 29 Kennedy is the lone Seamount team to move on to the state tournament after a 35-29 win over Mountlake Terrace Saturday night. The Lancers (8-1) trailed 3-0 after the first quarter, but dominated the second, scoring 21 points to Mountlake's zero. Kennedy then held on in the second half. Kennedy will play Columbia River in the first round of the 3A state tournament.

Thunderbirds, VMC raise $15,000 for mammograms For the Renton Reporter
High-risk women in need will receive mammograms, thanks to a partnership between Valley Medical Center’s GLOW program and the Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team. Now in its second year, “Pink the Rink” raised more than $15,000 for Valley’s Breast Center to provide 100 life-saving mammograms and breast education for disadvantaged women. Held at Kent’s ShoWare Center, the hockey ice was literally turned pink for this special event to draw awareness to breast cancer. A free, pre-game party on the plaza had attendees dancing to the retro tunes of “Mr. Pink,” children bounced and slid on assorted inflatables, and special vendor booths raised money for breast cancer research through sales of pink cowboy hats and other assorted items. Breast cancer survivors at the event were given free pink camouflage bandanas. During the game between the Seattle Thunderbirds and Kamloops Blazers, T-birds members applied pink tape to their sticks, wore pink laces in their boots and sported
pink ribbon decals on their helmets in support. The crowd watched a special GLOW Flash Mob strut their stuff at half time, led by 100.7 The Wolf ’s DeAnna Lee, and three spectators had the chance to win a pinkstriped Mini Cooper through a hockey shoot out. “One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Until that number is zero, we will continue the fight to eradicate this terrible disease,” says Sherry Kuzan, a registered nurse and manager of The Breast Center at Valley Medical Center. “Mammograms are key to early detection, and for women who are high-risk it’s critical. The money raised at Pink the Rink will ensure that 100 women will not have to wonder and worry about their breast health. We can’t thank the community enough for coming out and showing their support.” The event received support from the Seattle Thunderbirds, ShoWare Center, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, the event’s Pink Panther Partner, and Northwest Mini. For more information about The Breast Center at Valley Medical Center, or to schedule a mammogram visit valleymed. org/breastcenter.

SERVICE
Fast. Professional. Friendly.
Providing Complete Plumbing & Heating Services in King County Since 1964 you offer any products that could help my water supply be more efficient, Q “Do or save me money?” :
Q/A | with David Brown – Owner, Fox Plumbing & Heating
Q
“How did Fox Plumbing & Heating get started?” :
A
: Virgil Fox started the company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping every customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.
plumbing services do you offer? And do you do both repair and installaQ “What tion?” :
A
: If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both fix ailing systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in fixing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be fixed we fix it. We offer a full range of plumbing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by offering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catching problems early. We’re very excited to announce that we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our staff, provid-
A
ing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.
Q “Do you guarantee your services?” A :
: Absolutely, we have the best written warranties in the business. We provide our customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experience with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from current customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satisfied customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.
: First having equipment in good working order saves water and money, you wouldn’t believe how costly a dripping faucet or “ever-running toilet” can be, I’ve seen them cost home owners and businesses hundreds even thousands of dollars. In this day and age switching from a gas water tank to tankless system saves space, energy and delivers endless hot water. PSE even provides rebates. Converting from electric to gas can save thousands of dollars over time. It’s important to know what works for your life-style and budget and what are your energy saving goals. The benefits of a tankless system are; endless hot water, its green – smaller carbon footprint, space savings, and energy savings. It took me a while to be totally sold on the tankless hot water systems, but I am, today the technology is outstanding.
an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about afterhours and on Q “In the weekends?” :
A
: Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks and furnaces can’t tell time and often chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut off videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we often get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we fix the problem. After an emergency many of our customers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great improvements in their plumbing systems.
James arrived within 3 hours of my call for service. He quickly determined the problem and did a work around to get me back online. Then the next day at the exact appointment time he replaced the tank. Prompt, Professional, Clean & Neat. Good equipment and a reasonable price. Best service contractor I have used in 30 years. - Tom Nesbit, Kirkland.
