State, cities looking at multiple options for I-405 HOT lanes State’s favored option not popular among the people

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Interstate 405 Executive Advisory Group met in Renton this past Thursday to discuss the different carpool scenarios for additional lanes set to be added to the roadway.

The group’s recommendations will help inform a project-funding-and-phasing plan for a future 40-mile long express toll lane system, encompassing I-405 express toll lanes and state Route 167 HOT lanes.

A HOT lane is a multiple-occupancy lane that is open to single-car drivers for a

price, like the lanes on SR 167.

The Washington State Department of Transportation is scheduled to deliver the plan to the governor and legislature at the end of the year.

According to Renton Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman, while there is no money from the state to build the lane yet, there is money for the design, which prompted the discussion.

Zimmerman said there were a handful of options for the lane, including making it open to all cars with two or more passengers, three or more passengers, or a combination based on the time of day (peak vs. off-peak hours).

But legislators must take into consideration state law which says that HOT lanes must be designed to maintain a minimum

speed of 45 mph 90 percent of the time and that tolls must pay for their operation.

Because of those criteria, Zimmerman said WSDOT officials have concluded that a two-plus option is not viable because too many people would use the lane, making the speed requirement nearly impossible to meet, as well as not generate enough revenue.

Because of that, they are recommending that the lanes only be free to cars containing three or more people.

“When we consider these carpool options, we’re thinking not only about how each scenario will keep traffic moving in the corridor but also how best to generate revenue to help fund future improvements,” said Kim Henry, I-405/SR 167 program director in a press release.

Council President Randy Corman, who has represented the city on the Executive Action Group for years, said he is not sure the public will accept a three-plus HOT lane because two-plus lanes are so widely accepted and used. He also said it would only add to the perception that HOT lanes are primarily for wealthy people to use.

Zimmerman said polling shows Corman is right and there is a lot less support for three-plus lanes than two-plus.

The group will meet one more time in October before a final recommendation is approved.

Valley Medical to make 5% retirement contribution

The new retirement plan prepared for Valley Medical Center employees includes a number of provisions.

Last week, the Renton Reporter reported correctly that the medical center will provide a 2 percent to an employee’s 2 percent contribution to a 403(b) self-directed retirement plan Not reported was the 5 percent direct contribution the hospital will make to an employee’s retirement plan.

Valley Medical is implementing the new plan for non-union employees now.

Public defibrillator makes a life-saving difference

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

It was early in his shift on a normal April day, but by 7:30 a.m.

Gerry Gorbey knew something was wrong.

He wasn’t feeling well that morning, with some dizziness and mild chest discomfort and then he started sweating profusely.

“I knew right then this was serious,” said Gorbey, who was at the time just shy of his 41st birthday.

Gorbey went to Dan Darling, his manager at the Cummins Northwest shop on Grady Way, and said he planned to go to the hospital.

Darling agreed to drive him. Gorbey went to get his coat and laptop and was turning a corner when Randy Karns saw him.

“He looked horrible,” Karns said, though what happened next was unexpected.

“He collapsed in my arms,” Karns said.

Karns yelled for assistance and for someone to call 911 and then turned his attention back to Gorbey.

Darling got over to where Gorbey had collapsed and checked for a pulse. He found it, then it was gone.

By that time Rick Miller, a former paramedic, arrived to help; he also felt no pulse.

Darling and Miller moved Gorbey from the narrow hallway in which he collapsed into an outdoor lot and other workers were directed

to get to the streets to direct the ambulance back to the shop when it arrived.

Darling grabbed a public access automated external defibrillator, or AED, from the shop’s wall as Miller performed CPR. The pair put the defibrillator’s paddles on Gorbey and pressed the button, giving him a single shock and Gorbey’s heart started beating again. Darling and Miller began CPR on Gorbey at the instruction of the AED, performing it until medics arrived at 7:34 a.m., according to a time line provided by Cummins.

“It’s amazing how fast they were here,” Karns said of the ambulance.

At that time, Gorbey was stabilized and taken to the hospital.

Today, he is alive, well and back at work.

Gorbey’s life was in all likelihood saved by the access to the AED, something Cummins Northwest installed in their shop after another employee had a heart attack about six years ago. Along with the device, about 20 people at the building are trained on how to properly use it.

It all paid off in April.

“It’s a terrible situation, but the outcome was great,” Miller said.

“There’s people trained in every department,” Darling said. “We just happened to be the ones in the area when it happened.”

Manager Bryce Hood was credited with bringing the AEDs, which

Gerry Gorbey, center, holds the automatic external defibrillator that saved his life, along with the men who helped, (from left to right) Matt Austin, Rick Miller, Randy Karns, Dan Darling and Bryce Hood. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter cost about $1,500 each, to the shop following the previous incident.

Hood said it did not just make good sense for safety sake but also from a business standpoint.

“Our employees are our No. 1 asset,” he said.

“What’s the cost of a human life? $1,500?” agreed Darling, adding that it also raises morale in the building because it shows the company is willing to invest to make sure its employees go home to their families every night.

The team at Cummins this summer received a recognition and award from the Renton Fire Department during a City Council meeting. At the meeting, Fire Chief Mark Peterson cited the access to the AED and the training received

by the staff as being key to saving Gorbey’s life.

“They didn’t have to think about it, they just did it,” Peterson said.

Because of its use at the Northwest shop, Hood said Cummins is considering purchasing AEDs for all of its shops around the world.

For his part, Gorbey said he was forever grateful to the men who saved his life, as well as the company for making sure there was a defibrillator at the shop, just in case. He said it is the first place he’s worked that had a public defibrillator.

“What they did for me, I don’t think anyone can fully comprehend until you’re in the situation,” he said. “If I was a rich man, they would all be rich men.”

insight on the winners with the Renton Reporter.

Each have different reasons for why they think Renton High is great, but all three referred to the school’s values of pride, tradition and excellence.

“For me, probably (it’s) the tradition part of it,” said Clymer, a 1969 grad. “Our family was here before it (the city) was Renton. I was a third-generation Renton High (grad) and I have tons of relatives that went there before I did. So it was just a big part of growing up.”

Clymer graduated with the last large Renton class, before Hazen High School opened.

“We were extremely successful in all the sports, the bands, the activities,” he said. “We had such a draw

of kids that performance was excellent.”

Former Renton Mayor Don Custer is a 1953 grad.

His family has a “whole mess of Renton grads too,” he said. He’s proud of the school’s first state championship basketball team and the diversity that was represented when he went to the school.

“The immigrants, who grew up in Renton and proceeded us at school, for them, Renton was the great leveler, the great mixer,” Custer said. “It was a thing that brought the community together through the young people.”

Roxanna Hanson, Renton class of 1980, calls the school community a family.

“It was scary and thrilling

all at the same time,” she said of attending the school for the first time. “And I stepped off the bus and met what I consider family, some of the greatest people who are still my friends.”

The board members note that the school doesn’t get the credit it deserves for the students and programs it has.

“I don’t know what the right word is, if it’s prejudice or whatever,” said Clymer. “There was a lot of people who …left town, left the whole area. They seemed to want to dump on the high school and Renton kind of became an image for that, I think.”

Clymer notes the students at the school as being “excellent.” He’s heard discussions, however, about real estate values being effected, based on whether or not you live in Renton, he said, noting people’s reactions to the school’s diverse student body and the change in the city’s population that represents.

“Our group has to figure out ways to overcome some of that and what we try to do is accentuate the goodness of what’s going on, and forget about talking about bitterness that people might have going on.”

The 2013 award winners are a diverse selection of honorees in professions, but not necessarily gender.

There are three women on the list this year: Patricia (Van Volvelaere) Weirich, Norma Cugini and Loretta Starkovich.

Mamie Thirion

March 23, 1913 – September 21, 2013 Mamie Thirion (DeLeo) passed away on September 21, 2013. She was 100 years old.

She was born on March 23, 1913 at the family farm in Coalfield,WA (now known as May Valley). It was Easter Sunday morning, so she was named Pasqualina Dominica, which means Child of Easter, belonging to God. She was the 5th child born to John and Louisa DeLeo, there would ultimately be 12 (10 girls and 2 boys). No one is quite sure how she came to be known as Mamie. She finally changed her name legally at the time she started working and applied for her Social Security number.

Mamie graduated from Renton High School in 1933. She and her sisters walked the 7 miles from the farm to RHS or caught rides on the milk truck to downtown Renton in order to attend school.

On Nov. 17, 1934, she married Numa Thirion, a coal miner from Newcastle, WA. They adopted a daughter, Marie, in 1943. Numa died in the coal mines in 1953. In 1956 Mamie and Marie moved to the Renton Highlands where Mamie lived until this year. She was currently residing at the Chateau at Valley Center, until her death.

Mamie was a faithful member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in the Renton Highlands.

Mamie is survived by her daughter Marie McPeak and her husband Russell; granddaughters Jeanette Hinesley and Jennifer Fassbender (husband Mark); 3 great grandsons (Zachery Hinesley, Owen Fassbender and Evan Fassbender); 4 sisters (Antionette Bassett, Mickeline Lapsansky, Rose Lapsansky and Margaret Woods) and numerous nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28, 2013 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 1024 Monroe Ave NE, Renton, WA at 10am. Burial at Greenwood Memorial Park, 350 Monroe Ave NE, Renton,WA, will immediately follow the funeral.There will be a reception luncheon following the burial at Bethlehem Lutheran Church.

Scholl family relieved not to have to relive events during a trial

By TRACEY COMPTON

[ Guilty from page 1]

tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Jarod Lane’s guilty plea doesn’t bring much closure for the parents of Jessica Scholl, who was killed, prosecutors say, in her Renton home last May. Doug Scholl, Jessica’s father, expressed some relief but not an end to feeling the loss of his daughter, during a phone interview this past Friday.

“I think that’s a much better way, for me and the family to not go through a trial and relive everything,” he said.

Lane pleaded guilty Sept. 19 to firstdegree murder and first-degree arson in the slaying of his former girlfriend, Jessica. He faces 25 to 33 years in prison, when he is sentenced on Oct. 18.

Scholl wants Lane to get a longer sentence, but said there are too many things to weigh when going to trial.

Since May 2012, the trial has been delayed with a series of case-setting appointments and back and forth between the defense and the prosecution, Scholl said.

before Superior Court Judge Mary Yu. Lane was charged on May 29, 2012.

Bail was set at $2 million because prosecutors described him as an “extreme danger to the community.” In June 2012 he had pleaded not guilty to the charges.

On the morning of May 25, 2012, prosecutor’s allege Lane, 19 at the time, murdered Scholl in her family home in Renton, stabbing her multiple times. He Jessica Scholl

For most of the court proceedings, Lane did not have to appear in court and didn’t, according to Scholl. Jessica’s father attended many of the proceedings because he wanted to see Jarod’s face.

“I don’t want him to see that I hurt; I want him to see I have a life and I’m moving on,” Scholl said. “(It) doesn’t matter how many years he gets, in the end it won’t bring my daughter back.”

Now Scholl waits for the sentencing with his wife Stephanie. They will write letters to Superior Court Judge Mary Yu, urging her to rule in favor of the maximum time allowed.

Emergency crews responded to the fire and discovered Scholl’s body.

Lane fled by car and was arrested 2,000 miles away in Oklahoma City on May 28.

He is being held at the King County Jail in Seattle.

Hundreds mourned Jessica at a community vigil at Lindbergh High School in early June 2012. Case settings were continued several times.

The Renton City Council on Monday had a first reading of a new ordinance to decriminalize alcohol in city parks, but don’t go popping that brewskie just yet.

“It’s still against the law,” said chief assistant city attorney Zanetta Fontes, calling the ordinance a

“housekeeping measure.”

During Monday’s Community Services Committee meeting, Fontes explained the ordinance is not a license to drink in public, but rather a simple change, making having an open container in a park a civil, rather than criminal infraction.

That means it is still illegal and you can still get a

ticket for it, but you won’t be arrested.

The change comes in response to a state law that made the same change in open spaces, which Fontes said include city parks.

The present fine for all parks infractions is $101.

Here’s the man at center of charterschool debate Joshua Halsey is about to become one of the most important people in public education in Washington.

For a few more days he’ll manage the South King County Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Learning Network — a mouthful of jargon for a job guiding an $11 million program to improve achievement of 117,000 students with creative and cutting-edge instructional techniques.

On Oct. 7, he’ll begin work as the first executive director of the Washington State Charter School Commission in Olympia.

In this gig, he’ll be in the vanguard of a voter-driven effort to transform learning for the state’s 1 million public school students.

With passage of Initiative 1240 last year, Washington will be allowing private nonprofits to run schools with public funds. Up to 40 such alternative schools will be allowed to operate under contracts, known as charters, issued either by the commission or approved school districts.

No more than eight can be authorized in one year and applications from those seeking to be in the initial wave are due in late November.

Halsey, who will earn $100,000 a year, will be steering the ninemember commission as it sorts through applications this winter and decides next February which to authorize. His exact role is getting formulated but he said he expects to be an “active participant” in the decision-making.

“I would hope we would avoid experimentation sites,” he said. “What we really want is innovation sites.”

Halsey, who is married and a father of two young children, is an unfamiliar name for many veterans entrenched in the state’s education establishment. And he arrives as an almost complete unknown to those who waged battle on the charter school initiative as he steered clear of the fight.

This should give him an unsullied foundation on which to build relationships with those trumpeting the value of these alternative schools in helping students as well as those still trying to prevent any from opening because they consider them unconstitutional.

Commissioners chose him from a crowd of candidates which included some with experience doing a similar job in other states.

“You will find him to be a strong leader,” said Steve Sundquist, chairman of the Washington commission. “His unique mix of experience, curiosity, and empathy will serve us well as we work to create the strongest charter school network in the nation.”

He’ll also need to be adept in the political arena, a place he’s not been visible to this point in his career.

Once the first charter school opens — possibly in fall 2014 — the state and school districts will have five years in which to authorize the 40 allotted charters.

If the commission wants more, it will need [ more cornfield page 9 ]

Letters to the editor Keep Renton’s right to speak In recent weeks a Seattle-based, activist group has been manipulating the Renton City Council meetings to draw attention to their cause.

They arrive early to claim a seat near the speaking podium, hoping to be captured on camera. They hold out a large sign, frequently checking the video monitors to ensure it’s in view, understanding the public is watching.

Each week they stand up to speak during the public speaking time, taking their full five minutes on a subject having nothing to do with city administration or legislation. They challenge or ridicule council members in a combative manner. They complain if their faces are not shown on camera while speaking.

I have long been an advocate for preserving Renton’s public speaking at council meetings, believing it to be a sacred and valued opportunity for residents to publicly address city leadership, whether it’s praise, need, or criticism.

However, when outside groups manipulate this privilege in a reckless and offensive manner, I fear Renton residents will suffer the consequences of possibly losing our legitimate opportunity to speak.

We need a sensible solution. I propose the council consider this option: As our mayor and council members are elected by the residents of Renton (and because residents of Renton should continue to have their full opportunity to address our elected leaders), any non-resident person or group who wishes to address Renton’s elected leaders should be allowed only at the council’s discretion by way of majority vote.

If a non-resident has signed up to publicly speak, the council would motion to allow it, and if majority approves, then those people would be heard. If after they return to a future meeting, the council would again determine by way of motion if they should be heard.

I feel this would accomplish two things: It [ more letters page 9 ]

What our kids need: supplies Whitney Houston sang, “I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.”

If those lyrics are true, then our future might be in jeopardy.

Consider the new normal in our school system. First, there is a lack of school supplies.

What?

I’m old enough to remember when most, if not all school supplies were provided for students. Not so today. Today, parents are given long lists of necessary items to buy: pencils, crayons, chalk, marking pens, glue, scissors,

even writing paper. The lists are getting longer and can be expensive. More and more families can’t afford it.

“The No. 1 thing we need right now,” says Erika Parmelee, family liaison for Communities In Schools of Renton, “are school supplies.”

Second, more and more children from middle-class families are forced onto the free and reduced lunch schedule. [ more bohart page 10 ] Lynn Bohart

would preserve the speaking time for Renton residents and allow – but not ensure – the opportunity for non-residents to address the mayor and council. Plus it would deter those from outside Renton from manipulating valuable time meant for Renton citizens.

Speaking to our elected officials is a right, but speaking to someone else’s isn’t and should be treated and respected as a privilege if offered.

Stuart Avery, Renton

Lungs can’t stand this train I have here Don Brunell’s column (“Keeping our rails on track,” Renton Reporter, Sept. 20) on railroads and how they have improved in safety. I’m glad that such an efficient mode of transportation is coming back into its own, but there are problems Brunell hasn’t mentioned. These concern fossil fuel (use of which concerned people want to reduce, as eliminating it might never be possible).

First off, coal trains will make our already wretched traffic situation even worse, in any town they pass through – and any town that people might drive through to avoid them. If one of those mile-long trains blocks access to much of the Sodo district, for instance, anyone who has a medical emergency there might die.

The air will be full of coal dust and so will the rivers and saltwater, because those cars can’t be covered due to the danger of spontaneous combustion. The finer it is, the farther it can drift – into the air of more towns and deeper

into our lungs. My lungs, and the gills of the fish that help feed us all, and the trees that make this region so beautiful don’t need that stuff.

Any jobs this project would bring are likely to be shortlived and the permanent ones only available to a few. If terminals aren’t built here, the trains won’t necessarily go to Canada – I gather the rail system is overloaded up there, too, and you might ask Portland or Los Angeles how their terminals have worked out for them.

There was an article a while back in the Seattle Weekly about this mess and it mentioned studies that gave contradictory results in the matter of health risks – but the sources were not cited. I’ll cite mine: powerpastcoal.org. In the case of an uncertainty like this, I would choose the conservative option, the one with less risk. There’s too much at stake. China can’t pay us enough to replace our lives.

I’m not jazzing you when I say this: Coltrane yes, coal trains no.

[CORNFIELD from page 8] to convince the Legislature and governor to pass a law adjusting the cap.

Charter schools still remain largely disliked in parts of the state and among many state lawmakers. All it will take is one less-than-shiny operation to surface to imperil chances of getting rid of the cap.

Halsey said he is looking forward to successfully navigating those potentially choppy waters.

“I want to make sure we create the best Joshua Halsey charter schools in the nation,” he said.

“That’s what I’m all about.”

“These families don’t know what to do or where to go,” Parmelee says. “They feel lost.”

We’ve heard this from other agencies like the Salvation Army, which has seen a big increase in the number of middle-class people coming into the food bank.

Last year, for example, the Renton Rotary Salvation Army Food Bank provided weekend backpacks for 350 children in the Renton School District. According to Captain Chris Aird, they could easily add 50-100 more children, if they just had the money.

And the weird thing is that many of these families might be living right next door to you.

“They might live in a nice house,” Parmelee says. “But you don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.”

Many families have been forced to move in with relatives. Sometimes entire families are living in one room.

Perhaps the kids are sleeping on couches or the floor.

There’s no privacy and no place to study. The stress often forces them to move over and over again.

And that’s the third problem.

“A big problem in our school district,” Parmelee tells me, “is that families have to move so often. This can be very disruptive for the children. They’re taken out of the classroom and away from their friends.”

Fortunately, there is the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act, a federal law that attempts to ensure educational stability for homeless children. Per the law, schools must provide transportation if the child wants to continue to attend their school of origin. This helps provides stability, but transportation is expensive.

The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children as “individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.” This would include all of the above, plus the many families forced to live in cars.

“I worked with one family living in their car,” says Parmelee, “who would save enough money every week or so to be able to pay for a night in a motel so they could have a shower, a bed, and do their laundry.”

Can you imagine living for weeks on end in a car? I can’t.

Now consider how hard it would be for a child. They can’t invite friends over. They don’t have a place to study. They

Streamlined service on Interstate 90, better timed connections and more bus trips in downtown Seattle mark some of the changes to 55 bus routes starting Saturday, Sept. 28, as King County Metro Transit launches its fall service revisions.

Because Metro’s budget is limited, most of the schedule and route changes are only possible by redistributing existing service or making no-cost operational changes. Other improvements to several routes in Seattle are fully funded through the City of Seattle.

Red timetables and a special orange rider alert will be available in coming days, and riders can go online at http:// metro.kingcounty.gov/up/scvchange.html to preview changes to routes. While Metro’s online trip planner is updated to reflect trips Sept. 28 and after, the online timetables will be changed late on Friday, Sept. 27.

Highlights include: • Route 140 extension in Renton: Route 140 will be extended to Renton Boeing and The Landing as a precursor to its transition to RapidRide F Line in June 2014.

• Sounder train service connections: Routes 99 and 110 will have revised schedules to better coincide with South Sounder train service at King Street Station and Tukwila Station.

Club’s shaking roof draws complaint The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

The nightclub’s roof was shaking from bass reverberations, which an officer could also feel while investigating a noise complaint on Airport Way Sept. 14.

A man was warned and told to pour out the beer he was drinking outside and another man was urinating near a house on Tobin Avenue as officers were there.

After about 45 minutes the music still hadn’t been turned down. An officer asked for the security officer’s ID so he could issue him a written warning. A woman who identified herself as a bar employee came out; an officer recognized her from previous contacts about noise.

She was told to make sure the noise was reasonable for neighbors and to check or have her security guards check

for a shaking roof. She was issued a written warning. About 3:30 a.m. the officer had to ask a couple to stop yelling loudly just south of the nightclub.

The informational report was forwarded to the Washington State Liquor Control Board, which maintains information on liquor licensees.

Safe won’t budge to sledgehammer Three suspicious-acting men who drove a blue Cadillac into a “service road” area near Smithers Road and the I-405 overpass caught the attention of a neighbor Sept. 11.

They were looking at what turned out to be a stolen safe.

The neighbor flagged down an officer who saw the three men, all wearing white shirts, standing on the access road.

They started walking away and the officer radioed other officers in the area who were also investigating.

The officer found the Cadillac DeVille, its rear window shattered, and its ignition damaged, possibly by a screwdriver. A jewelry box was found in a blue duffle bag,

A 37-year-old Renton man was trespassed for stealing from the Safeway store on South Second Avenue but he returned on Sept. 11 because he was hungry.

containing costume jewelry, an AARP card, photos and personal documents.

A 3-foot by 3-foot metal safe was laying on the road, where two of the men, now in custody, were seen standing. On the ground were a sledgehammer, gloves and bolt cutters. The safe was damaged but not open.

Two were interviewed and one admitted to hitting the safe with a sledgehammer. Each offered slightly different stories on how they got there. The safe and car were taken as evidence. The two were released because there wasn’t enough evidence to arrest them.

But the case was referred to the Kent Police Department, after a Kent man identified the safe and jewelry box as his.

One of the two men interviewed in Renton later dropped off a letter at the Renton Police Department, claiming that he owned the Cadillac.

Hazen soccer back on winning track

RENTON

Defender Gabby Brower lines up a pass Tuesday against Highline. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter

After uncharacteristically dropping two games in a row, Hazen’s girls soccer team appears to be back on track, picking up two big wins this week.

The Highlanders first rebounded Saturday with a win over Yakima’s Eisenhower Cadets and then bested the Highline Pirates 6-1 Tuesday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Hazen’s first step in the right direction came with a 6-0 win over a much-improved Cadet team at home.

“We were moving and passing much better from the back to the front today. The three defenders (seniors Gabby Brower and Courtney Kiteley and sophomore Nicole Anderson) worked well together on coverage and also started plays for us with great passing under pressure,” Coach Ken Matthews said.

The midfield and attackers took care of controlling the middle and scoring for the Highlanders, who improved their record to 2-3-0.

Scoring for the Highlanders were senior Korbyn

After a pair of disappointing losses, the Hazen football program on Friday clobbered Highline 46-0 Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium to pick up its first win of the young season.

Sophomore Kaleb Magee scored the first three touchdowns for the Highlanders, opening with a 10-yard run before breaking off an 80-yard touchdown scamper to give the Highlanders a 14-0 lead after the first quarter.

In the second, Magee took a hand-off 4 yards for his third touchdown of the day. Then, Joe Glaefke got in on the action with a 17-yard touchdown run of his own to make it 27-0 going into halftime.

In the third quarter, running back Marquise Lee returned the opening kick 88 yards for a touchdown. Then, Ryan Wong took the ball 42-yards for a touchdown of his own, followed by an 8-yard run for a touchdown from Brandon Ivy to make the score 46-0.

Hazen (1-2) takes on Lindbergh on Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

The Renton Indians football program moved to 2-1 on the season with 58-7 rout of the Foster Bulldogs Friday at Foster High School.

Running back Ernie Davis rushed for three touchdowns and picked up a fourth on a punt return, while quarterback Elijah Clayton added three touchdown passes of his own, to fuel the win.

Renton jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter as Davis picked up a 19-yard touchdown, a 1-yard touchdown and a 77-yard punt return for a touchdown.

Not to be outdone, Clayton threw for three touchdowns of his own in the second quarter to give the Indians a 42-0 lead at the half.

Clayton’s first touchdown pass went 9 yards to Juwuan Phomprida-Robinson. Then he found Jouvani Phomprida-Robinson for a 31yard and 6-yard catch-and-run.

Zach Hasson successfully kicked all six extra points in the first half for Renton.

Foster finally got on the board in the third quarter with a 5-yard touchdown run, but Davis answered back with a 43-yard scamper of

Ernie Davis, 5, and Elijah Clayton, 7, have the Indians at 2-1 this season. File photo his own, his fourth visit to the end zone in the game.

In the fourth quarter, Hasson kicked a 30yard field goal to make it 52-7 and then Drew Olson took the ball in on a 6-yard run (Hasson missed the kick attempt) to bring the score 58-7.

Walls with a hat trick, senior Brianne Sherin who had a goal and three assists, sophomore Erin Zetterberg, and senior Melissa Carney. Assists were provided by Brower, junior Brook Swensen and senior Chelsea Delgado.

Sophomore keeper Brittany Dinkins got the shutout.

Matthews also sited senior Cindy Hanson and sophomore Taylor Lenton for outstanding play.

Of his team’s uncharacteristic back-to-back losses to non-league teams, Matthews said, “The losses were so strange for us. The Garfield game gave me confidence we were going to be OK in spite of the positional changes, players being out and injuries.

Looking back maybe we just played a great game and hadn’t really adjusted yet.”

On Tuesday, the Highlanders took on the Pirates and picked up where they left off over the weekend.

The result was a 6-1 victory in the non-league matchup.

Seamount League standings and playoff berths are determined by the final seven league games from Oct. 10 through Oct. 31. During that period each team in the league plays each other in “counting” games.

“Whenever you play a 3A league opponent you want to play well. Offensively our outside crossing game was clicking. Defensively we played well on the back line and in the center which neutralized their strength,” said Matthews in an email.

The offense tallied six goals for the second game in a row. Zetterberg had two goals off assists from Hanson and Walls. Swensen and senior Kristina Holm scored to give the Highlanders a 4-0 lead. Junior Emma Lorrigan and senior Melissa Carney got first-half assists.

Highline pulled one back before the half that ended 4-1, but Hanson and Walls got second-half goals with Swensen and Zetterberg getting the assists.

“We got good play from a bunch of players tonight,” Matthews said.

Hazen played the Seattle Academy at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at Delridge in Seattle.

Dr. Tamara Sleeter, a candidate for the Public Hospital District No. 1 commission, lives in the hospital district, the county’s top elections official has decided.

Sleeter’s residency in the district was challenged by Jim Sullivan, who claimed, based on his research, that she lives in Auburn and not at the address on her voter-registration card that puts her inside the district.

Regardless of what elections director Sherril Huff had decided, Sleeter’s name would have appeared in the Nov. 5 general election because ballots have already been printed.

Sleeter is running against incumbent Sue Bowman.

Sleeter said Monday she’s pleased the elections department stated her primary residence is in Renton.

“I continue to run for the board of commissioners,” she said. “I plan to serve to the best of my abilities, if I am elected.”

In presenting his case, Sullivan said he visited Sleeter’s home at least eight times over two months but never received a response when he knocked on the door.

He tried to contact Sleeter by phone and registered mail. He also submitted declarations from two neighbors who indicated the Renton house wasn’t occupied.

But Huff, director of the King County Elections Department, decided after a hearing Sept. 12 attended by Sullivan and Sleeter that Sullivan did not meet the “burden of proof ” to prove Sleeter’s registration is false.

“Though the allegations may raise some doubt as to Ms. Sleeter’s physical residence, they do not establish by clear and convincing evidence that Ms. Sleeter’s registration at the Renton address is improper,” Huff wrote.

Sleeter said there’s “absolutely no doubt” about where she lives.

In an interview, Sleeter said she’s at church on Saturdays and she doesn’t know of any woman who would open the door at 8 p.m. when an unknown man knocks at her house. She also said she was likely on vacation during some of Sullivan’s visits.

“I don’t keep banker’s hours,” said Sleeter, who is director of obstetrics for Valley Women’s Clinic, which has clinics in Renton and Covington.

She and her husband own a home in Auburn, where a child is still in school.

In her decision, Huff cited state law that defines residency as it relates to voter registration as “a person’s permanent address where he or she physically resides and maintains his or her abode.”

Related case law, she wrote, “provides that residence requires physical presence plus an intention to make that place one’s home.”

In an interview after the decision, Sullivan pointed to what he called the “clear evidence” he presented regarding Sleeter’s residency and to the fact one of Sleeter’s children still attends school in Auburn.

“To no one’s surprise, I was very disappointed to learn that my challenge to the legitimacy of Tamara Sleeter’s voter registration was declined, based on the extreme ‘burden of proof ’ requirements in RCW 28A.08.840,” he said

“I was just hungry,” he replied. The officer asked why he couldn’t get food elsewhere.

He replied, “Ya, I guess.”

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of second-degree criminal trespass.

Just looking for gas

Injuries in big fight

Two men standing in a Renton man’s driveway at about 11 p.m. Sept. 9 told the resident they were just looking for gas when he confronted them.

But the resident spotted a golf bag filled with clubs and a longboard skateboard on the ground next to his fence.

He then grabbed a roofing gun from the bed of his truck and told his wife to call police.

The two men fled in a dark blue 2009 Subaru Legacy.

A 22-year-old Kent woman who’s four months pregnant and was apparently smoking “spice” was arrested for biting her boyfriend on the hand Sept. 13.

“Spice” is a drug that makes users act erratically, bizarrely and unpredictably, according to police. She had taken her boyfriend’s cell phone and refused to give it back. When he grabbed for it, she bit him.

He didn’t want to pursue charges but was told an accusation of domestic violence must be investigated.

She was spotted in the 400 block of Rainier Avenue South at about 11:30 a.m.

Numerous people were involved or witnessed a fight involving a baseball bat and possibly knives at about 3 a.m. Sept. 14 outside a convenience store on Southwest 43rd Street.

Three men were questioned after their fleeing car was stopped. Two friends had called the driver after they were jumped at a party near Renton and their car was damaged. The three went to Kent to watch the street races, where they ran into the men they say assaulted one of the two men at the party.

The fight escalated and moved into the convenience store parking lot. One participant said the fight began because someone was “hitting on their ladies.” A vehicle was hit with a crowbar and an 18-year-old man from SeaTac was hit on the back of the head with a bat inside the convenience store.

The SeaTac man told officers he wouldn’t testify in court against the men, saying he’s “really not a court kind of person.” He didn’t want anyone prosecuted, as he was OK with how the situation ended. He was free to leave, although he and one of his friends were trespassed from the conve-

Thank You Thank You Thank You

To our family of dental patients, Thank you so much for being one of our wonderful patients. We value your patronage of our dental office. We will always work hard to improve our service and our level of dental care in order to exceed your expectations. Attached is a list of recent reviews our office has received from patients who have been in to our office since March of this year. I wish the best for you and your family.

Dr. Odegard  WONDERFUL CARE! Dr. Odegard and his staff are the most caring and wonderful office I have ever been to.

I know I am getting quality state of the art dental work when I go there. I had implants done and even though my complications were unavoidable Dr Odegard made sure to stand behind his work and help me through my healing process. - By Julie B.  THE BEST! The best dental crew I’ve ever experienced... and I’m experienced! - By Joseph D. ALWAYS OUTSTANDING I have been a patient for several years and there is a reason I drive through multiple zip codes to see Dr. Odegard & Staff. I have never had a better Dentist. the thought of going to someone closer to my home has never been an option for me.

By William A. GREAT EXPERIENCE I called ahead of my scheduled appt to see if there was time to have impressions made for a nightguard. Rochelle easily accommodated me; she also warned me that nightguards have become very expensive & to check w/my insurance co. Before I had a chance to check, she called me back to tell me the coverage that Betsy had researched.

At my cleaning, Becca took extra care on my sensitive teeth and used a desensitizing polish before cleaning them. Dr. Ro (sp?) was very thorough and friendly. - By Mary Pat R. EXCELLENT SERVICE “You guys are great! Dentures would cost more in long term maintenance than implants. These dental implants are just like the real thing. I couldn’t be happier.

Thanks”. Jim GOING TO THE DENTIST IS FUN! I used to dread going to the dentist. Dr. Odegard and his staff make going to the dentist painless and enjoyable! Almost fun! The entire staff is friendly, accommodating and caring! Like family! - By Marcia THOROUGH CONSULTATION I love my dental implant work from Dr. Odegard. My teeth look great and I don’t even know that they are not my real ones. Plus, I never have to worry about getting a cavity in those teeth or needing a root canal. Exceptional service. Robert B. A NOTE FROM ANOTHER DR. O FAN CLUB MEMBER Walking into the office, it’s like visiting family. Everyone is so very warm and friendly and ask about the family and make you feel right at home. Exactly the opposite experience of when I was a kid and feared going to the dentist. They really take good care of me and I soooo appreciate that! - By Debra M.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE Professional, friendly, comfortable - By LaVerne  FUN AT THE DENTIST I told my daughter that it’s the first time I’ve ever had fun at the dentist! I laughed a lot!

All I needed was an xray, and it was done with no up-selling. The dentist even took a look. Everyone was friendly and I could tell the team works together well. - By Rose R.  EXCITING NEW DENTIST Sometimes it’s hard for me to transiton from one dentist to the next, but Dr.Odegard and his staff made my experience comfortable and easy. I can’t wait to go back. - By Chanel K. AMAZING Amazing service quick and painless, the only dentist I can go to without hating the experience - By Anonymous OUTSTANDING Our family has been a patient with Dr O’s practice for the past 10 years - starting when we moved from CA to WA. Recently, my wife (Carol) had need for significant dental work. Dr O was on the case immediately and we flew from Phoenix, AZ to Seattle. All I can say is AWESOME. I took the opportunity to have my teeth cleaned and it was an outstanding event. Much better by far than the experiences in Arizona. Needless to say, we highly recommend Dr. O’s practice. In fact, we’ll be coming back to Seattle on a regular basis for dental care. - By Jim C.  15 YEARS OF EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE I have been coming to Doctor Odegard for the last 15 years and will continue to do so. Even though I recently moved to Marysville I will continue to see doctor Odegard.

Everybody on his staff is professional and friendly, when he’s working on your teeth he’s quick, thorough, and gentle. I have been recommending him to friends and family as long as I can remember and will continue to do so. Simply the best dental experience.

By Jason M.  GREAT SERVICE! I have been going to Dr. O for over 12 years now. The staff is like family. They are very knowledgeable and have always treated me with respect. Every 6 months I look forward to my cleaning! By Corina B S.  DR.
