In an intense meeting, King County Library System staff and consultants Tuesday night presented the Renton community with two options for the interior space planning of a new downtown library.

One option was presented for the library exterior.

A majority of those attending did not participate in KCLS’ small-group discussions, instead demanding the design team address the huge crowd’s concerns as a whole.

From the start, KCLS’ presentation was fraught with loud interruptions from the audience asking, then telling staff they want direct and open communication.

The library’s public-address system failed, making it hard to hear the speakers.

The library system has been criticized at its recent public meetings for its proposed design, which would create a smaller library over the Cedar River and move the main entry from the pedestrian bridge to near the parking lot.

KCLS has also been accused by some community members of not includ[ more Library page 6 ]

The Renton Municipal Airport tower is one of 149 towers around the country that will close April 7 due to the federal budget sequester, unless the city can find the money to keep it staffed.

The airport will remain open, but the traffic-control tower will be empty unless Congress acts to end the federal sequester or the City of Renton finds money to keep it open.

Renton Municipal has operated with a control tower since 1943, according to Airport Manager Ryan Zulauf.

The Renton City Council has requested a formal resolution be brought before them calling for the city to de-annex from the King County Library System.

The council Monday night requested the measure as a means to be able to discuss the city’s options regarding the library.

Council President Randy Corman suggested the motion, saying the city needs to use all of the “levers” it can when dealing with KCLS regarding the rebuild of the Cedar River Library.

Speaking in front of a council chambers packed with members of the group Save the Cedar River Library...Again! and after an extended public comment period focused entirely on the first plans sent for review by KCLS, Corman said state law allows either side to begin the de-annexation after three years and called it “irresponsible” for the city not

Former Seattle Mayor Norm Rice will be the keynote speaker at an upcoming fundraiser for Renton schools.

The Friends of Renton Schools Foundation is hosting the annual “Be a Champion” fundraising breakfast at 7:30 a.m., April 29 at the Renton Pavilion Event Center, 233 Burnett Ave. S., Renton. Check-in is at 7 a.m.

Rice was chosen to address the breakfast gathering because he is a “dynamic man, local UW graduate and has 35 years of service to our community,” said Pam Teal, foundation representative and school board member.

This is the fourth year for the annual fundraising event and organizers hope for just as much, if not more donations. The Norm Rice past three years have netted more than $200,000, according to Teal.

“We have a data base of more than 500 names, but the last time I checked we have more than 90,000 residents who live in Renton,” she wrote in an email to the Renton Reporter. “My dream every night is that if at least half our residents gave Friends of Renton Schools a $20 donation, we could make over $900,000. That would be an amazing gift to the 15,500 students and the dedicated staff in the Renton School District.”

Funds go toward early literacy, math development, support for students transitioning from elementary and middle schools, mentoring programs, Advanced Placement support and before- and after-school academic support.

Boysen used grandparents’ cash, cards to flee

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter

Michael Chadd Boysen paid for his flight from Fairwood with cash and jewelry he stole from his murdered grandparents, including his grandfather’s wedding ring he pawned in Kent, according to King County prosecutors.

Prosecutors and King County Sheriff ’s detectives spelled out their case against the 26-year-old Boysen in documents filed March 21, charging Boysen with aggravated first-degree murder in the deaths March 9 of his grandparents, Robert and Norma Taylor.

Boysen was transferred by the state Department of Corrections to the King County Jail in Seattle, where he is being held without bail.

Boysen is accused of murdering his grandparents just hours after they picked him up at the state prison in Monroe. He was arrested on March 12 in Lincoln City, Ore., after a 10-hour standoff with police.

If he’s convicted, Boysen faces two sentences, life in prison or death, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. April 4 at the Maleng Re-

gional Justice Center in Kent.

Boysen would face two possible sentences, if convicted: life in prison without release or the death penalty, according to Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg.

The law requires that the prosecutor review the case over the next 30 days to determine whether to file written notice of a special sentencing proceeding to determine Michael Boysen whether the death penalty should be imposed, or whether sufficient mitigating circumstances exist to merit leniency, according to Donohoe.

“This decision includes a careful examination of all the evidence. If additional time is needed, we may ask the court to grant more time to make that decision,” Donohoe said in a press release.

The charging documents offer many already-released details of how Robert, 82, and Norma, 80, welcomed home their grandson from prison on Friday, March 8,

including hosting a small party for the family. The party ended at about 9:30 p.m.

Initially, investigators didn’t release or didn’t know a motive for the slayings.

On March 10 a detective interviewed two inmates at the state prison in Monroe, who recounted how Boysen had spoke of his anger toward his grandparents and his desire to kill them. He said he planned to steal their cash and car.

Boysen’s mother, Melanie Taylor, the Taylors’ daughter, checked on her son and grandparents in the early evening of March 9, after another relative wasn’t able to contact the Taylors at noon as planned.

Using a key, Melanie Taylor went inside the house on 145th Avenue Southeast in Fairwood.

She didn’t immediately see her adopted son or parents. She waited for a few minutes, then looked around. She found her parents dead in the closet of a spare bedroom, where her son was supposed to sleep. She called 911 at 6:15 p.m.

Boysen was gone, as was her parents’ red 2001 Chrysler 300.

Detectives with the King County Sheriff ’s Office couldn’t

find any signs the house was forcibly entered. There weren’t signs of a struggle.

The county medical examiner, in ruling the Taylors’ deaths homicides, indicated the couple had been strangled to death. Part of a bloody shoelace was found on Norma Taylor’s neck.

A jewelry armoire was found intact in the master bedroom and a second also was locked and apparently untouched.

A ledger showed regular deposits of cash into two now-torn and empty envelopes. The last entry was March 8 for a total of $5,200 in cash saved during almost seven years. Norma Taylor was known to save cash at home.

Boysen paid cash for a 2002 Ford Taurus in Salem, Ore., not far from where his grandparents’ Chrysler was found in a Walmart parking lot, according to charging documents.

Robert Taylor’s American Express Card was used at 7:07 a.m.

March 9 at the Walmart in Covington to buy $600 worth of music CDs, an iPad tablet computer and protective case and a 25-inch suitcase. About 90 minutes later, an $800 charge was made against Taylor’s Visa card at a Fred Meyer for a pre-paid cell phone and an

HP laptop computer.

On March 14, detectives searched the trunk of the Taurus.

Inside were Robert Taylor’s wallet, the HP computer, a tool chest full of jewelry, a Lane cedar box containing men’s and women’s wrist watches, a Winchester rifle and several cans of kerosene and propane bottles.

On March 15, detectives learned from Melanie Taylor that a jewelry armoire had been opened, emptied of expensive jewelry and locked again. The couple’s sterling silver silverware was gone.

A sheriff ’s detective learned that on March 9 Boysen had sold bags of jewelry, silverware and coins to AC Coins in Kent; he had told a clerk he purchased items at an estate sale in Lebanon, Ore., according to charging documents.

The documents note that Boysen’s father lives in Lebanon.

Among the jewelry recovered was Robert Taylor’s wedding ring, inscribed with the date he and Norma wed nearly 60 years earlier, March 5, 1954.

In an interview released through the Sheriff ’s Office, Melanie Taylor recounted how her parents loved Chadd “more than life itself.”

City: more energy in cell than meter

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The energy put out by the city’s radio-read water meters, commonly referred to as “smart meters,” is about four million times less than that put out by a cell phone, according to a presentation at Monday’s City Council Committee of the Whole meeting.

“If you walk through the radio beam at the grocery store, you get more exposure,” said city Water Engineer Supervisor Abdoul Gafour during his presentation.

The council called for the briefing following concerns from some residents that the installation of the radio-read meters has caused birds to disappear from their neighborhoods.

The city began installing the radio-read meters in 2008, due in part to a high percentage of unaccounted-for water. The meters send out a signal every four hours to one of three data collectors positioned on water towers in the city. The idea is that leaks can be detected and dealt with much more quickly, as well as the budget savings to the city in sending staff to read meters in person.

When completely rolled out, the city will install 17,400 of the

meters at a cost of $4.6 million.

The receivers are placed on water towers in Rolling Hills, on West Hill and in the Highlands. The signal sent out by the meters is picked up by one, two, or all three of the receivers.

“The signal is omnidirectional,” Gafour said.

Gafour also said the city’s meters are not “smart meters,” “If you walk through however, because the radio beam at they are a the grocery store, one-way you get more instruexposure.” Abdoul ment.

Gafour, city water “Smart engineer supervisor meters” are two-way devices that allow for more control from the utility’s end.

City officials have insisted the meters are well within government health and safety guidelines and are safe to both humans and the environment.

According to Gafour, the exposure levels at three feet away from Renton’s meters are 1/14,000,000th of the FCC limit and at 10 feet from the meter, that level drops to 1/160,000,000th of the limit.

Cellphones produce four million times the amount of radiation than the city’s meters, Gafour said.

“We don’t believe these

meters are the cause of the concerns of the residents,” City Administrator Jay Covington said.

During his presentation, Gafour said not enough was known about non-thermal effects and that he could not find studies on bird migration and feeding in regard to the meters.

Council President Randy Corman said the numbers seemed “reasonable” and was interested to see that cell phones put out four million times the energy.

“I suspect it’s safe. I have a cell phone,” he said, but added “the jury is still out on RF (radio frequency) radiation.”

Paul Ouellette, who first brought the missing-bird issue to the city council after noticing the feeders at his house in the Rolling Hills neighborhood were not being used after the meters were installed, said he appreciated the presentation but still had issues with their use.

“If you’re not close to one of these receivers, you have birds,” he said.

Oulette presented the council with a petition signed by more than 70 residents asking for a moratorium on the deployment of the radio-read meters.

The council did not take any action on the use of the meters.

Renton residents approved annexation by small margin [ DE-ANNEX from page 1]

to pursue all of its options – including de-annexation – in order to ensure the city gets the library citizens want.

“Their timeframe is up,” he said, citing complaints in dealing with KCLS regarding the Renton library.

“They had three years.”

Voters of Renton approved annexation in February 2010 by a small margin.

Corman compared the service from the library to other service providers who are not living up to customer expectations.

“It’s like my phone company,” he said. “If I wasn’t getting good reception, I’d drop them.”

Councilman Don Persson said he would like to know the ramifications to the city if they do attempt to de-annex, even if it was just to be used as a “hammer” in negotiations.

“Whenever I think I have the hammer on somebody and I put it down, it sometimes costs me more money than if I worked through the problem,” he said.

Councilman Rich Zwicker said while he is “optimistic” the negotiations would continue and end up in Renton’s favor, he warned against using de-annexation as a threat and said it is his belief that without KCLS, the city might end up with

no library at this point.

He then said he thought this was something the whole council should discuss and moved for a formal resolution regarding de-annexation that could then be discussed at a future committee of the whole meeting, which was promptly seconded and approved.

After the meeting David Keyes, speaking for the Save the Cedar River LIbrary ... Again! said he was encouraged to hear the discussion by the council and though he disagreed with Zwicker that losing KCLS would mean no library, he said it was important to discuss the alternatives.

“We don’t trust KCLS at all,” he said.

No date was given for the Committee of the Whole discussion.

Also at the meeting, members of the Cedar River group urged the council and the city to formally reject the plans put forth by KCLS prior to what they said was a deadline of Thursday or it would be considered approved.

The council and administration said they had already formally rejected the plans and had told KCLS that they would not approve anything until at least after Tuesday’s open house at the Library, when the public had a chance to comment on the plans.

KCLS has a budget of $8.9 million to design, rebuild library [ library from page 1] public feedback on the design and withholding information. Some are upset because there have been many on-going meetings to collect that information from the community.

Library Director Bill Ptacek opened the presentation, but was interrupted by Renton resident Chris Clifford and others, who announced they wanted a different format for the open house. Clifford told the crowd to stay in its seats and not break into groups to hear KCLS’ design rationale. The attendees filled one wing of the library and

spilled into standing-room-only areas.

Ptacek and Ruth Baleiko, of architectural firm Miller Hull, continued their address to the group. They pinned their design decisions to the standard put forth in the interlocal agreement with the City of Renton and the constraints of an $8.9 million budget. Baleiko presented two options for interior space planning for the audience to comment on later.

Baleiko gave a summary of the budget breakdown for the intended renovation.

Building envelope upgrades are estimated to take up 29 percent of the budget; plumbing, 4 percent; mechanical, 25 percent;

seismic upgrades, 23 percent, and 19 percent for finishes. The latter does not include books or furniture, which will come from a separate KCLS fund.

When the project team finished its explanation and approach to operational issues, Ptacek called for the crowd to break

up and attend smaller stations to have their questions answered and give feedback. His request was loudly refuted by audience members. The majority refused to budge from their seats. [ more library page 7 ]

KCLS Director Bill Ptacek addressed a packed house Tuesday night at the Cedar River Library during an open house on plans for rebuilding the downtown Renton library. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter

[ library from page 6] “I am not going to the stations,” said Elizabeth Stevens of Renton. “We’re staying here along with the majority of people because we want to provide input to the speakers as a group.”

As a frequent patron of the Cedar River library, Stevens emphatically expressed, as many did, how “critical” the situation is now.

“I think that the critical thing here is that the citizens of Renton have participated in months and months of public input meetings for what’s important to the people of Renton and that has been for naught,” she said.

Jasper Kinnay of Renton was one of the people who ventured to the stations. He actively questioned Ptacek about library usage in the area and services. After he received his answer, Kinnay told the Renton Reporter he did not feel the dialogue with KCLS has been very effective.

The leadership is not communicating ideas well to the public, he said.

“Even with the best intentions, the communication is not going well,” Kinnay said.

Howard McOmber, of Renton, left his comment at a design station and was heard telling design team staff about the “disconnect” he felt between KCLS and the community.

“They haven’t come back with anything that shows that they’ve given serious consideration to the suggestions we’ve given,” he said.

Eventually, Ptacek reconvened the meeting of the large group in one area for a question-and-answer session and recording of people’s concerns. The audience spoke up, calling for the current design to stay intact, requesting alternative design options and cost figures and even pleading for a new design competition to request ideas from the world at large, among other comments.

Community activist Stuart Avery asked KCLS to allow

the City of Renton to deliberate on adding additional funding to the project before KCLS moves forward.

“We need other options,” Avery said.

Baleiko of Miller Hull told the crowd she was doing her best to address their concerns. She is a project manager on the team. Again and again, she broke down figures for estimated construction costs and the current budget.

She asked the audience to keep in mind costs reserved for permitting fees, inspections and the like.

“We need to hold money for those pieces that come out of the same wallet,” she said.

In the end, Ptacek stressed that no construction bids have been done for the project because that requires a complete set of drawings and the team isn’t at that stage yet. He also reiterated technical details about the requirements of the building, such as weight-bearing issues or load requirements.

After the meeting, Ptacek had this to say: “We had lots of comment; we had lots of participation. We had a lot of people, a big turnout. And we got a lot of comments, so that will be really helpful.”

He said staff planned to take the feedback, respond to it and put together another presentation for the April 15 Renton City Council meeting.

Five minutes before closing at 9 p.m., the library over the Cedar River still had a full house of people congregating and talking about it.

Barbara Halverson

Barbara Halverson died March 2, 2013 at home in Renton, Washington. She was 91 years old. An avid reader, traveler, volunteer and watercolor artist, Barbara lived life to the fullest.

Born November 17, 1921 in Big Bay, Michigan, the first child of Rhea and Howell Deaver. Barbara was soon followed by her sister, Betty. In 1933, due to black lung, Mr. Deaver quit coal mining and moved the family from Colorado to Anchorage, Alaska. In 1939, Barbara graduated Salutatorian from Anchorage High School.

However, even with a scholarship to the University of Alaska, her family could not afford the room and board, so she went to work for National Bank of Alaska. In 1941, she married Vance A. Halverson (d. 1982) and they started Spenard Service Station, which they operated for many years. By 1951, they had added four children to their family.

In 1971, she earned her A.A. degree from Anchorage Community College and, much to her family’s pride, passed her CPA exam on the first try. A few years later, Barbara moved to Portland, Oregon and completed her Bachelor’s in Accounting, graduating Magna Cum Laude, from Portland State University. In 1991, she moved to Renton, Washington to be near her family.

Barbara had many interests and hobbies: she loved watercolors, gifting her loved ones with original artwork on birthdays and holidays; she was an avid traveler, visiting Europe, South America, Japan, and traveling all over Canada and the United States; and she was active all her life, especially enjoying hiking and cross country skiing. She loved to keep her mind active with reading, foreign language classes and travel. Barbara was an incredibly generous and inspirational mother and grandmother. She will be dearly missed.

She is survived by her children, Eileen Halverson of Greenwater, WA, Connie Halverson Osbon of Portland, OR, Kay Donald (Bill) of Renton, WA., and Clarke Halverson of Renton, WA; grandchildren, Allison Donald, Mary Donald and John Donald of Renton, WA, and Janine Donald of Salt Lake City, UT; and two great-grandchildren, Rio and Riley Donald. She was predeceased by her grandson, Todd Osbon, in 1986.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 13, at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 2:00 P.M., 99 Wells Ave S., Renton.

Memorials are suggested to the Salvation Army, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church or Mazamas Mountain Climbing Club of Portland, OR. 757277

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“Even with the best intentions, the communication is not going well.“ Jasper Kinnay of Renton, on the relations with the King County Library System

Library controversy will take leadership to finally resolve It probably should come as no surprise that an open house presented by the King County Library System was filled with rancor, frustration and shouting.

And, some pretty important information.

For three years the fate of Renton’s two libraries, including the beloved one over the Cedar River, has ripped at the hearts of residents and divided the city’s leadership. That’s plenty of time for nerves to fray, especially since there’s no clear way forward after all these years.

Tuesday night at the downtown library a huge crowd heard KCLS Director Bill Ptacek and his staff and consultants explain the working concept for the new downtown library.

I could have written the word “plan,” too, because I believe that a smaller library and moving the library’s entrance are a key part of that working concept. Residents are right to speak loudly about those two key concepts, which really feel like decisions.

Tuesday’s meeting was an exercise in democracy, a contentious discussion that left some people uncomfortable and dismayed by some uncivil behavior and others informed by compelling facts about the real costs of preserving the Cedar River library.

So, now how to move forward. This was one of KCLS’s typical open houses about early design decisions. A similar one was held for the Piazza library, rejected overwhelmingly by voters.

First, KCLS officials need to work at learning how to listen to Renton residents. “Divde and conquer” perhaps is too strong to describe KCLS’s intent for the small group discussions; but it should have been clear to KCLS that many in Renton don’t like that format, even if it’s effective.

Mayor Denis Law and the City Council have what is perhaps the greatest political and policy controversy to face the city’s leadership in recent times. They have to follow agreements with KCLS, but not forget that many residents are giving them real-time direction.

The City Council is right to at least put deannexation from KCLS on the table. But that has to be only so the council and citizens can fully debate all issues before them. The city can’t go back now, without a huge expense, on ensuring library services for its citizens.

And let’s not forget that there’s a second new library, too, the one in the Highlands that is a cornerstone of the redevelopment of the Sunset area. Renton’s users of that library deserve equal say and consideration in this debate.

KCLS needs to learn to listen – or make it clear it is listening through actions – and Renton’s leaders need to heed the advice of those they serve.

But listening and heeding are only part of this.

Financial reality and political necessity may mean a bright new library straddles the Cedar River. That’s certainly acceptable if we remember that what happens inside that library, including new family traditions, are what’s worthwhile.

EDITOR’S NOTE

RENTON

OPINION

[8] March 29, 2013

Renton

Letters to the editor Important design work done I read Tracey Compton’s March 21 article about library design (“KCLS Details Reasons Behind Moving Library Entrance.)

The article states “Now KCLS officials are urging caution when talking about the design elements of the downtown library because they say it’s too early in the process.” It is nonsense to urge such caution. In fact, it’s misleading. Right now is the time to be very concerned about KCLS’s intention. The schematic design – the design presented to the public on March 26 – is extremely important and deserves the full attention and critique of the citizenry.

As I understand it from talking to an architect, if the city approves this schematic design, then whatever is in it becomes official and is the basis for further detailed design (walls, rooms, interior components, etc.). That will give KCLS the green light to develop their idea of demolishing part of the foundation slab and separating the building from the pedestrian bridge. That means that the time for concern about design is right now, not later. In addition, such demolition will trigger extensive environmental reviews that will take time and waste money. I have the feeling that KCLS management knows this and is deliberately pursuing a disastrous plan.

Julie Brand’s statement that “we’re nowhere near the design phase” must refer to the phase of design that follows approval of the schematic design. I got the impression from her quotes that she thinks the schematic design is a trivial matter and that people should be saving their concerns about design for later. To be diplomatic, I will assume that she is misinformed about the seriousness of the schematic design.

The article paraphrases Mr. Ptacek as saying “The internal operations and factors such as utilities forced the project team to relocate the main entry next to the parking lot.” Sadly, KCLS has not shown why internal operations (whatever that means) are so important that they take precedence over the key issues of library design repeatedly expressed by concerned Renton residents.

And what is it about the utilities that makes it necessary to move the entrance? I haven’t seen heating ducts or electrical conduits entering the building through the entrance. Nor have I seen bathroom plumbing anywhere near the entrance.

Where is the analysis to prove that keeping the

entrance in place would be unfeasible for the utilities or too expensive? This “utilities issue” sounds like another empty argument designed to deflect serious discussion.

Dave Beedon, Renton

Shared view for school chief The South King County Communities of Color Advocacy Group would like to extend a warm thank you to the Renton School District Board of Directors for inviting us to participate on the advisory panel that was part of the RSD Superintendent selection process. We are appreciative of the opportunity to serve and provide input. As an advocacy group, one of our core objectives is to provide a representative voice for communities of color around equity in education. We were very impressed by the extent in which the district acknowledged the importance of community involvement in the process and the need to hear these voices. This shows that the Board of Directors is indeed living the District Improvement Plan.

Some of our desired qualities in an ideal candidate are as follows: • A proven track record and passion for eliminating the achievement/ opportunity gap; • The ability to create innovative pathways for educational success; • Feels community involvement is important to help achieve student success; • Encourage participation for students of color, low income, and Special Education students in AP, science, and math courses; and • Experience with improving graduation rates for all populations and reducing dropout rates As evidenced by the questions to the candidates from the board, it was obvious that we shared a similar vision which is the success of all students.

Focusing on closing the achievement/opportunity gap, discipline equity, and adjusting to the changing demographics of the RSD are crucial elements to student success.

Now it’s our turn; the community has an opportunity to give input at three upcoming community meetings and hear directly from the candidates.

(Editor’s note: See page 3 for list of meetings.)

We will be wearing our name tags. We look forward to connecting with you at one of the upcoming meetings.

A commercial fire late Tuesday afternoon caused about $45,000 damage to two buildings, including the Greater Gospel Temple Church, in Skyway, according to King County Fire District 20.

Renton firefighters also responded to the fire.

A passing King County Sheriff ’s deputy alerted Skyway Fire to the blaze behind the church in the 12600 block of Renton Avenue South just after 4:30 p.m.

Fire damage was limited to the exterior of the main building and an adjunct building, according to Dave Nelson, a fire district spokesman. Minor smoke and water damage was reported inside the Gospel Temple.

19-year old gets warning for smoking pot The following information is compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

A 19-year-old Renton man was given a verbal warning for smoking marijuana in his pickup truck Feb. 27 in the Highlands.

Someone reported to police that they thought a drug deal was happening in the 5300 block of Northeast Fourth Street. The officer saw the man rolling a “blunt,” or an

empty cigar casing filled with a “flowery substance” This week’s… the officer recognized as marijuana.

The man apologized to the officer. He admitted he purchased the marijuana but he has a valid license to smoke marijuana for medical reasons.

The officer pointed out the legalized marijuana law applies to those 21 and older. Nor can he buy marijuana from someone in a parking lot. But the man told the officer it’s too far to drive to a legal dispensary.

CRIME

alert

Police Blotter

The man told the officer his friend who solid him the marijuana has a license, too, but he declined to disclose his name. In giving the man a warning the officer told the man to buy his marijuana from a dispensary and to smoke it in the privacy of his him and not in public.

The officer seized the man’s 7.93 grams of marijuana. No criminal charges were pursued.

Brother, sister fight over Ruffles A brother and sister got into a bloody fight over who would get a bag of Ruffle’s potato chips on Feb. 26.

The argument then involved the siblings’ mother, who is eight months pregnant. The mother was kicked about 10 times in the stomach by her daughter; the mother was to be taken to the Valley Medical Center emergency room.

The daughter was taken to the youth detention center in Seattle for investigation of fourth-degree assault for injuring her mother and brother.

Bomb squad checks store grenade Bomb technicians from the Port of Seattle determined that a military hand grenade included in donations to the Goodwill store on Northeast Sunset Boulevard was inert.

An officer and store security took the grenade to the back of the store, outside. The area was secured. The store couldn’t determine who donated the grenade.

Nurse helps officer by translating A Valley Medical Hospital nurse who speaks Russian helped a Renton police officer with translation as the officer arrested a man who spent nearly all day in the hospital lobby Feb. 14.

Hospital security staff repeatedly asked the 61-year-old Seattle man to leave, but he refused. He didn’t need medical attention. The officer had contacted him the day before for extreme intoxication elsewhere.

The officer twice asked the nurse to tell the man he needed to leave or face arrest. He cursed at the officer in Russian, which the nurse translated.

The officer then took the man’s arm, but the man jerked away and said in English, “Don’t touch me.” After a struggle with two officers, the man was placed in handcuffs and taken to the SCORE jail, where he was booked for investigation of first-degree criminal trespass.

Man looking for dog robbed of cell A 30-year-old Seattle man out looking for his friend’s dog just after midnight Feb. 15 was robbed of his cell phone.

The man had stopped at the side of Southeast Fifth Street to answer a cell call when a man walked up to the side of his car. The man asked if the victim was looking for something and victim answered, his dog.

The suspect responded, “I won, give me your phone.”

He leaned into the car and grabbed the phone. The victim grabbed for the phone and the suspect hit him in the cheekbone.

The victim drove off and called 911. The suspect is described as an Hispanic male in his mid 30s.

Lindbergh’s O’Grady steps away coaching The two-time Seamount League Football Coach of the Year wants to be able to watch his son play

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

After four years and two Seamount League championships, Lindbergh High School football coach Pat O’Grady announced Tuesday that he is stepping down to be able to spend more time with his son.

O’Grady has been with the Eagles for seven years, three as an assistant and the past four as head coach, where he racked up a record of 32-9.

Grady was twice named Seamount League Coach of the Year, in 2009 and 2012.

According to an email from Lindbergh athletic director Keith Henning, O’Grady is stepping down as coach to be able to watch his son play football at Auburn High School on Friday nights.

In his short time at the helm of the Lindbergh Eagle football program, O’Grady has racked up some impressive notables:

Hazen Soccer stumbled a little Friday night, playing to a 1-1 draw with Highline but rallied for a 4-0 victory Tuesday on the road at Foster.

After spotting Highline an early goal in Friday’s game, junior midfielder Luis Puga picked up the game’s only goal in the 35th minute off an assist by senior Forward Sam Bunnell.

Tuesday against Foster, Brunell picked up the team’s first goal in the 12th minute off an assist from Reyes Garcia to give the Highlanders a 1-0 lead, which held going into the half.

In the second half, Hazen took charge. Garcia scored first, off an assist from Marcelo Castro, then Isiah Blount picked up a goal off an assist from Jorman Gonzalez before Castro and Brunell teamed up for their second of the night to give Hazen the 4-0 win.

Sophomore keeper Jaime “Chino” Martinez picked up his second shutout.

Hazen takes on Lindbergh today, Friday, at Renton Memorial Stadium. Hazen is 3-1-2 on the year.

Preview: Lindbergh baseball hoping to repeat

By Brian Beckley

Indians baseball slides into win column

bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The defending Seamount League champion Lindbergh Eagles baseball team is hoping for a repeat of last year’s undefeated season.

Returning from the team that last year led the league in nearly offensive category are several first team AllLeague players. Catcher and league batting champion Tyler Gould and his incredible .619 batting average are back on the field, along with first basemen/pitcher Matt Stuart and outfielder Craig Yamaguchi.

According to coach Benny Benavides, Gould is injured to start the season, and team “workhorse” Derrick Holt will be doing

The Renton Indians baseball team picked up their first win of the season Tuesday night with a commanding 13-1 victory over the Evergreen Wolverines in the first game of what could be a very busy week for the Renton nine. The win gives the Indians a 1-4 record so far this season. Above, the Evergreen catcher can’t hold on to the ball as another Renton run scores. This past weekend, Renton traveled to Bellingham for a pair of games on Saturday. In the opener, the Indians fell to Bellingham 28-0 and then dropped the second game 19-0 to Meridian. The Indians were scheduled to play Wednesday at Highline, Thursday at Washington and Friday at Foster, weather permitting. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter MORE PHTOS online… rentonreporter.com
