City moving forward with new Aerospace Training Center at airport

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

With additional funding secured this legislative session and the hope for more int he near future, the city of Renton is moving forward with plans for the new Central Sound Aerospace Training Center to be located at the Renton Municipal Airport.

Set to be built on the southwest corner of the airport property, the building is designed to bring

together many of the players in the local aerospace industry together, such as Renton Technical College, in a single place to train the next generation of aerospace workers.

Originally intended as a relatively small $2.5 million project, once the parties involved came together they realized a bigger training center was needed.

“It was clear that $2.5 million was nowhere near, with that space, the ability to met their needs,” city [ more airport page 10 ]

Mayor looking to address ‘challenges’ in downtown core

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The German word for “Cheers!” was heard ringing throughout the Piazza Downtown this past weekend during the city’s three-day Oktoberfest celebration, sponsored by the Berliner Pub. There was food, music, dancing and, of course, beer throughout the weekend as revelers donned their finest lederhosen. Sunday was Family Day at the Piazza, drawing a younger, but equally boisterous crowd, such as the Baker family, left, Mike Baker, Otto Baker, 1, Lisa Baker and Greta Baker, 3, who all dressed for the occasion.

Tschuss!

For months, the paper in the window of the new arcade and restaurant on Third Avenue has read “coming soon,” but despite an originally planned opening this past summer, the business ran into a few snags as it prepared its new space.

Set to be located in the site of a former antique shop, 8-Bit Arcade Bar’s change-of-use from a retail shop to a restaurant triggered some unexpected changes and additions to the old building to meet current fire codes.

But the business, which Economic Development Director Cliff Long called “fantastic,” is exactly the type of establishment the city hopes will spur new life and new development in the downtown core, so the city worked with the owners to resolve the situation and get the project back on track.

But the plight of the new arcade as it goes into an old building highlights some of the challenges facing the city’s downtown, which like many downtown districts across the country has seen better days.

Moving forward, the mayor is planning to make a push to pull together downtown stakeholders to try and find ways to revitalize the downtown core.

“If there’s a way to get to ‘yes,’ our department heads are completely committed to getting there,” said Mayor Denis Law, who this past month began gathering department heads and contacting stake[ more downtown page 4 ]

Together We Build gathers multifaith groups in Renton Volunteers help Habitat for Humanity build, share experiences at housing development

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

La Fortuna, Renton’s Habitat for Humanity site, wrapped-up its 12th annual Together We Build event this past weekend.

The multifaith community service project is held around the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, which is the initial motivation behind forming the Together We Build project, participants and officials at La Fortuna said.

This year’s event was Sept. 1921 at the Habitat for Humanity development, 17286 127th Ave. S.E., Renton.

Together We Build is an interfaith coalition of Christians, Jews and Muslims seeking to find common ground and learn from one another as they work together to build homes for low-income families in King County.

“If you think of how many faith communities there are in King County, it’s really hard to make that connection with just a few staff members,” said Mary Martin.

Martin is Habitat for Humanity’s director of foundations and community engagement for Seattle-King County.

“So to have them out there recruiting people themselves and always growing the group, they are doing that work,” Martin said. “It’s like an extension of Habitat and they raise money.”

During the past 12 years, Together We Build’s efforts have raised more than $500,000 for Habitat’s affordable home building program in King County.

In Habitat’s history, Martin said, the organization has worked with mostly Christian congregations.

The nonprofit’s involvement with this annual event has broadened their scope and put an emphasis on working with multifaith organizations.

Together We Build volunteers participate in community service with Habitat for Humanity at La Fortuna in Renton.

“And I thought, ‘Wow, that’s pretty powerful stuff,’” Sanford said. “And then our church got involved with it, and it kind of grew from there.”

He is a member of Aldersgate United Methodist and it’s his 11th year participating in Together We Build.

Last Sunday, the group held an interfaith service in Kirkland.

The service is an integral part of the annual event, where Muslim, Christian and Jewish clergy share messages. The service is open to members of all faiths.

This is the second year that Together We Build has taken place at La Fortuna. A total of 41 Habitatbuilt townhouses are planned there.

“It helps the community to have a goal to build-up the community rather than just hand something off,” said Qureshi. “Because the whole program is about building the community and providing something the community can work toward. So that’s very attractive.”

holders downtown with plans to pull everyone together in the next few months to discuss what can be done to inject some fresh energy into downtown.

Law said the downtown has been a priority of his for “many, many years” and said like the rest of the community, he too would like to see downtown returned to some of its former glory.

Law said things had begun to break downtown’s way in the middle part of the last decade, with the city’s purchase of the Piazza and the construction of the transit center and the multifamily housing surrounding it, but that all changed when the recession hit in 2008.

www.rentonreporter.com “Then it got stalled,” he said.

But with the economy beginning to perk again, Law said he has confidence that downtown is ready to see investment, though he admits it may never be the downtown residents remember from its heyday.

“No, it can’t be like it used to be,” he said, noting that large retailers like JCPenney, once a staple downtown, will not be coming back. “The major retailers are going to the super center sites. That’s just the way it is.”

But, he said, that doesn’t necessarily mean a downtown with empty storefronts.

Law said he envisions a pedestrian-friendly downtown with restaurants and small local shops, such as the new arcade.

“I think what we want to create is a downtown with a strong base of service and retail

Betty (Hogan) Borracchini was born September 30, 1928 and returned to the Lord September 22, 2013.

Betty Borracchini peacefully took the hands of all the angels and saints to join the Lord in Heaven on Sunday, September 22, 2013. She was surrounded by her husband, daughters, son-in-laws and grandchildren when she passed.

Betty is survived by her devoted husband, Remo Borracchini and her 3 loving children Lisa (Paul) Desimone, Nannette (Jim) Heye and Mimi (John) Norris and her 7 grandchildren Maria Desimone (Jared Radtke), Matthew (Susan) Heye, Carmella Desimone, Ryan (Elizabeth) Heye, Garren Heye, Brandon Norris and Dominic Norris as well as Betty’s sister, Agnes Ciotta.

Betty was born to Owen and Elizabeth Hogan in Bremerton, WA. She grew up in Renton where she attended St. Anthony’s grade school. She loved school and excelled in all her studies.

Talking her dad into letting her take the bus from Renton to Ballard, she later attended and graduated from Holy Angels High School where she continued to work hard at her studies and thoroughly enjoyed reading and English. Following high school, Betty attended and graduated from dress design school where she first became interested in fashion.With a natural inclination for style and design, she modeled for I. Magnin stores.

In 1954, she married the love of her life, Remo Borracchini.

September 18th marked their 59th wedding anniversary.

Together, they celebrated the joy brought into their lives by their 3 daughters and son-in laws (whom she referred to as her “boys”.) Her grandchildren were her pride and joy and she celebrated each and every accomplishment with them.

As Betty and Remo raised their family, they built Borracchini’s Bakery together, utilizing Betty’s creativity and people skills and Remo’s hard work ethics. Betty loved oil painting, wood carving, doll-making, cooking and ballroom dancing. She was deeply proud of her Irish heritage; her yearly St. Paddy’s Day parties for family and friends were famous near and far. She passed away as she had lived...with grace and beauty and faith.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances in Betty’s name may be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital or Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Viewing was held at Columbia Funeral Home, Seattle.

These five minutes before City Council belong to Renton Beginning in August, a tall Russian man named Alex Zimerman began appearing at Renton City Council meetings. He carries a large red sign and speaks on behalf of a group called Stand-Up America, which he founded.

In his first appearance before the Renton City Council, Mr. Zimerman praised the council for allowing a five-minute public comment period – longer than many other surrounding boards and councils – and used his time to rail against the Metropolitan King County Council and what he described as its lack of a public comment period.

In subsequent meetings, Mr. Zimerman has brought other members of his group and each have addressed the council, telling them they should force the County Council to allow them to speak.

At first, they were polite and one gentleman, Sam Bellomio, even talked about how the five minutes gave him more time than he actually had things to say.

But since their initial appearances, Mr. Zimerman and Mr. Bellomio have been back to multiple meetings, saying the same thing every week and doing so in less polite terms each time.

In fact, at the most recent council meeting, they were downright belligerent jerks.

My notes from their comments have gone from writing down their point and maybe a quote to not even writing down their names.

Frankly, during their past few appearances, I used their comments to check the Phillies score.

It’s difficult to tell exactly what they want or what they are hoping the Renton City Council will do for them as there’s rarely any substance to their remarks beyond hating the County Council.

Mr. Zimerman routinely throws around the terms “Nazi” and “Communists,” which to me indicate he is not interested in actual serious discussion.

Mr. Zimerman repeatedly states that having grown up in the USSR and under KGB rule, that he knows what that looks like and accuses both the County Council and the Renton City Council of being Nazis, Communists and, amusingly, aristocrats.

Now, I did not grow up under Nazi or Communist rule, but I am positive that the Renton City Council – and even the King County Council – are not Nazis or Communists.

Don’t get me wrong. I understand he is trying to make a rhetorical point about - well, I’m not sure. Considering he was up there speaking during a public comment period about nothing that had anything to do with anything, except accusing the people to whom he was speaking, of being Nazis. Apparently he’s not allowed to speak. Maybe.

Here’s what I do know and Mr. Zimerman should too: The KGB would never have put up with someone like him. Mr. Zimerman would have likely disappeared by now. [ more editor page 7]

The shutdown profiteers; the roadblocks Nothing feeds a politician’s campaign coffers quite like a good partisan fight.

So it’s no surprise Democratic and Republican members of Congress across the country and here in Washington seized on Monday’s showdown, then shutdown to raise campaign cash.

“Leadership is a privilege that House Republicans have done little to earn,” began an earnest email sent out by Democratic Congressman Rep. Rick Larsen of Everett. “This lack of leadership is about to result in a government shutdown.”

A few paragraphs later, he concludes by asking for “$5, $10 or $25 to show the House Republicans that we’re fed up with their games and distractions. Stand with me, and let the majority party know that they need to earn the privilege of leadership.”

Fundraisers for Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Medina, struck a more strident note with the freshman congresswoman’s donors.

“You’ve seen how Tea Party Republicans are willing to shutdown the government and threaten the full faith and credit of the United States to try to get their way — we can’t afford to give them a chance in our state,” reads her email. “We need your help right now to ensure Suzan’s seat stays out of Tea Party hands.”

As they and other members of Congress tried to cash in on the political brawl, a leader of Common Cause urged them to stand down.

“One would hope that every member would be so embarrassed by this breakdown that they would voluntarily suspend fundraising,” said Karen Hobert Flynn, senior vice president for strategy and programs for the nonpartisan political reform group.

Neither Larsen or DelBene are facing a challenger in 2014. At least not yet.

EDITOR’S NOTE

OPINION

[6] October 4, 2013

Hopes dim for transportation Prospects of lawmakers passing a transportation funding package in a special session next month are dimming rapidly.

Republican senators are in no hurry to act on a $10 billion proposal put forth by Democrats and they haven’t been for some time.

It’s not what’s in it per se, though most members of the Senate Majority Coalition shudder at the inclusion of a 10.5-cent per gallon increase in the gas tax.

It’s what’s missing: all of the 10 reforms of state transportation policy offered up by the coalition this summer. Unless and until some of those proposed changes find their way into the proposal, they won’t be in the mood to pursue, let alone forge an agreement.

“We’ve got to have some of these reforms,” said Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, the coalition’s point-man on transportation. “Not all 10, but at least three or four of them. If we don’t get a substantial number of the reforms, we won’t have agreement on a revenue package because we won’t have enough votes to get it out of our caucus.”

King singled out three: streamlining the permit process, including rolling back stateimposed rules on environmental protection which exceed federal requirements; revamping the way the state builds ferries and allowing companies outside of Washington to build them and redirecting sales tax collected on construction projects from the state’s general fund into transportation.

None of these are new issues for lawmakers, yet there have been few serious conversations on incorporating them into a final deal.

Part of the reason is King and his caucus colleagues are busy traveling the state to solicit opinions on raising revenue and making reforms. Their listening tour wraps up later this month.

King makes no predictions what will happen afterward, though he sounds skeptical.

“We are trying to move this forward. We are trying to gather information and come up with a package that has the buy-in from the public,” King said. “It is going to be tough but there’s a chance.”

Public comment means more than just hearing yourself talk Also, the Nazis were terrible, terrible people intent on taking over the world and committing genocide while they did it. Thus far my experience in Renton has not revealed any interest on the part of the elected representatives on the council to do either of those things.

The problem with saying such things is that it shows you are not serious. It also belittles the actual crimes against humanity committed by both of those groups. Whenever we use “Nazi” as some sort of throw-away epithet, we are, in my mind, essentially crying wolf.

Eventually, we’ll mean it, but everyone will be so desensitized by folks like Mr. Zimerman that we’ll all be eaten.

Two weeks ago, Mr. Bellomio used his time to mostly complain that through most of his time speaking he was not shown on camera, as if that matters or is something the council controls.

To me, this is proof that this group has absolutely no interest in anything other than being seen. Mr. Bellomio is, however, running for the Seattle City Council and the group’s website contains videos from the various appearances at council meetings. Perhaps that is why it’s so important to him that his face appears on television.

During their last appearance, the two men also made sure to insult and attack some of the City Council members for apparently not doing enough to get the County Council to change its policies.

These are members of a council, remember, who represent a city in which these two men do not live and are conducting business, on which they have no interest.

But they insult them nonetheless.

Their last appearance prompted several members of the audience to stand and address the situation, often praising the council for its patience and worrying that these men would prompt the City Council to change its comment policies, policies many members of the audience appreciate and use respectfully, even when they disagree with the council.

Last week, we ran a letter from one of the regulars at council meetings. In it he suggested that only residents be allowed to speak, unless approved by the council. This, he said, would allow the council to hear non-resident concerns but also cut off and disallow those who have no business with the city of Renton and are interested only in getting a little angry face time in public access.

200 Mill building to house library The old Renton City Hall building will be the site of the temporary downtown library location.

The redevelopment plans for the library over the Cedar River are still in the permitting phase, but the temporary site has been confirmed by the King County Library System and the City of Renton. The temporary site is just adjacent to the current location.

The size of the temporary library and what it will house, has yet to be determined. - Tracey Compton

In Support of Cancer Awareness

As a reporter, I am a big, big fan of free speech. I think we need to have the right to address our elected officials to tell them what we think of how they are conducting our business.

But I have to agree it is a little pretentious and annoying for folks who don’t live in the city to come down and disrupt a council meeting when their issues have nothing at all to do with the city of Renton.

Remember, they began their visits by praising the Renton City Council and then quickly degenerated into taking up all of their comment time to yell at and complain about a council that has nothing to do with either of these men.

My suggestion is this: Add the words “to discuss city business” to the commenting rules. This would allow for the council to cut off anyone not discussing matters that directly apply to the city but should allow for residents and non-residents alike (during the discussion regarding the library, several non-city residents who use the facility came into discuss the issue, which should still be allowed as it does affect them) to have their say.

I have covered several city councils in my career and many include the provision that you may address the council on city matters. This just makes sense to me. The council is there to conduct the business of the city; if you don’t have

city business to discuss with them, you are wasting your time and theirs.

I appreciate that Mr. Zimerman and Mr. Bellomio have issues they feel are important to them. And I agree they should be allowed to discuss their grievances with their elected officials.

But they shouldn’t be allowed to waste the time of someone else’s elected officials.

Protecting the rights of citizens to bring forward issues and concerns at a council meeting is a respected American tradition and, frankly, one of the keys to good governance.

But if you are there just to hear yourself talk or to try and get on television, you are wasting all of our time.

Renton School Board members Wednesday night got their first look at design plans for the new middle school being built at the current site of the Renton Academy.

The school is expected to open fall 2016.

It’s located in Newcastle, the northernmost part of the Renton School District.

The school board approved the schematic designs by NAC Architecture, at the Sept.

25 meeting. Renderings included exterior and interior views as well as a proposed site plan.

Funding for the school comes from “overwhelming voter support of the April 2012 school construction bond measure,” according to a district press release.

The school board will vote on the next stage of the design process at their Dec. 11 meeting.

Construction is expected to begin summer 2014.

Temporary site opened for Fairwood Library

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The temporary site for the Fairwood Library is now open, while the branch gets an expansion to 20,000 square feet.

The temporary site is located at 14238 S.E. 176th St. and has materials for pick up, computer access, a small browsing collection and the library catalog.

Construction started on the Fairwood Library this week. The newly remodeled location will be expanded by 5,000 square feet. The

District college fair at Renton High is set for Oct. 10

new design will have additional rooms, an enlarged children’s area and meeting spaces. There will be new skylights, to allow better visibility in and out of the building.

Fairwood will also get automated materials for handling book returns, which the library did not have previously.

The original library was built in the 1980s.

Construction is expected to last one year, with completion expected in fall 2014.

Kent man arrested for August bank robbery

By Dean A. Radford dradford@rentonreporter.com

A 21-year-old Kent man was arrested last week in Kent in the robbery of a Renton bank Aug. 23, according to the Renton Police Department.

Members of the Renton Police Department’s Special Enforcement and Directed Enforcement Teams arrested the man near his home, in Kent without incident, according to Renton Police Detective Robert

Onishi.

The suspect remains in custody and the case has been forwarded to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

The suspect walked into the US Bank branch in downtown Renton at about 3 p.m. on Aug. 23 and, after a few minutes, handed a note to a teller, demanding money and claiming to be armed, according to Renton Police.

The teller turned over an undisclosed amount of cash from her till,

and robber fled the bank on foot, according to Renton Police.

Renton detectives identified the suspect using forensic evidence and follow-up investigation.

Police released this photo in August.

[ AIRPORT from page 1] Communications Director Preeti Shridhar told the City Council’s Committee of the Whole recently.

The city requested an additional $10 million from the state to build the facility and this year received $5 million, though Shridhar said, there is a “very very strong chance” the city will receive the additional $5 million to bring the full project up to a $12.5 million in funding.

Airport Capital Improvements Project Manager Ben Dahle said they have begun looking at cost models and space allocation at the airport, including the location and possible use of the existing, former Chamber of Commerce building.

Dahle told the council the current building is too small for their needs and would require serious upgrades, such as reinforcing the floors and raising the ceilings. Only the foundation is useable.

“There wasn’t a whole lot of that building they could re-utilize,” he said.

Instead, a new modular design is being proposed, one that could grow if needed. Each block is ap-

proximately 4,500 square feet.

“Stakeholders believe a 3-bay option is the right fit of this area,” Dahle said.

But with only $7.5 million in funding available, a smaller building is initially being proposed. According to the presentation, the total square footage tops out at 10,850 square feet, with parking for 60 cars.

It would include two classroom spaces and two lab spaces.

Should additional money materialize, the third bay would be added, bringing the size to 18,900 square feet at a cost of $12.5 million.

All of the designs are shown with access from both the runway level and the road level above.

Construction on the project is set to begin in July, with a completion date of May 2015 and an opening date of July 2015.

According to City Administrator Jay Covington, the idea would be for the city to build and own the building but find a partner within the industry to run the center.

Lindbergh tops Hazen on last-second touchdown Furious final minutes end with Eagles on top of Highlanders, 13-7

The Lindbergh Eagles football team stayed undefeated last weekend with a thrilling last-second 13-7 victory over Hazen Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

With red, white and blue decorations draped over the home stands for their homecoming game, Lindbergh’s Devon Jackson scored the winning touchdown with 2.2 seconds left on the clock, to send Eagles fans home happy.

Renton Indians fall to 2-2, with 38-24 loss to Lakes

By Brian Beckley

After falling behind big in the first half of Thursday night’s game, the Renton Indians football team rallied to make a game out of it, but fell short in the fourth quarter, losing 38-24 to Lakeside. The game was a nonconference matchup at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Lakeside opened up with a 2-yard run and a 27-yard field goal in the first to take a 10-0 lead and then tacked on two touchdown passes, to make it 24-0 at halftime.

But the Indians rallied back with Brian Phillips scoring on a 5-yard

touchdown run.

Lakeside then picked up another touchdown on a 6-yard pass, but running back Ernie Davis answered with a 61-yard run of his own for a touchdown to make it 31-14 headed to the final quarter.

In the fourth, Zach Hasson kicked a 37-yard field goal and Juwuan Phomprida-Ribinson caught a 28yard touchdown pass from quarterback Elijah Clayton to make it a one-touchdown game.

But that would be as close as the Indians would get, as Lakeside answered with an 18-yard touchdown run of their own to win the game 38-24.

Renton (2-2) took on Highline Thursday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425255-3484, ext. 5050

An up-and-down season for the Hazen Highlander girls soccer program continued this week, with the team winning one and losing one game.

The Highlanders’ week began with a matchup at Seattle Academy that did not go Hazen’s way, as the Highlanders fell 4-2 to the Cardinal.

But Hazen bounced back, outlasting the Lindbergh eagles 2-1 on a wet chilly night at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Both of Hazen’s goals came with two minutes left in both halves.

The game was a non-counting league game – but don’t try to tell either team it was a meaningless game.

“Lindbergh dominated the rivalry for many years. In the last two seasons we’ve played pretty level with them. Tonight was an exciting game – too close for me to feel relaxed at all,” Hazen Coach Ken Matthews said, in a press release.

Lindbergh came into the game having won four in a row, including a 2-1 victory over Kennedy, on Sept. 24.

Incredibly, two of Lindbergh’s three shots of the night came in the same play and resulted in a goal at 16 minutes. [ more soccer page 12 ]

matched through most of the game, as both squads moved back and forth on the field but could not put the ball in the end zone.

Finally, with three minutes to go in the first half, Jackson took the snap and scrambled to his right, then back left and finally up the middle, fighting his way into the end zone for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead.

But Hazen battled back in the final minutes, taking the ball all the way down to the Lindbergh 23-yard line, but a fourth and 6 pass attempt was nearly picked off and the teams headed to the locker room with Lindbergh up by a touchdown.

On the opening possession of the second half, Lindbergh recovered a Hazen fumble, only to fumble it right back on their first play from scrimmage, but the Highlanders could not convert.

The teams battled back and forth until late in the fourth quarter.

Hazen got the ball back with about six minutes on the clock and kept their drive alive with a fourth down pitch to Marquis Lee. Then, with 1:49 left on the clock, Lee caught a 19-yard pass from Nolan Hoover to tie, setting up an extra point, following a bad snap, but excellent recovery tied the game at 7.

On the ensuing drive, Lindbergh worked the ball all the way down the field to set up a first and 10, from the 10-yard line with 47.1

Wife bloodies husband’s nose in squabble over remote control

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

An argument between a couple over who was going to control what TV channel to watch Sept. 20 ended up with the wife going to jail for fourth-degree assault.

The couple – the man is 44 and the wife is 37 – told an officer different stories about what happened. But they agreed the argument was over who would have the TV’s remote control.

The husband told the officer he and his wife got into a tug of war over the remote. He won and held the remote over his head, out of his wife’s reach. She punched him in the nose.

The wife told the officer her husband was in her face, so she threw the remote at him, which hit him in the nose. Her husband’s story was a lie, she told the officer.

But the officer determined the injury to the husband’s nose was consistent with a punch. The wife was arrested for investigation of fourth-degree assault, domestic violence, and taken to the SCORE regional jail.

Exchange student robbed An exchange student from Japan was robbed of her phone and computer while sitting at the bus stop near Garden and Logan avenues Sept. 21.

Two males in their late teens walked across the street and grabbed the 22-year-old woman’s computer off her lap, two cell phones and a keyboard and ran west on Logan Avenue.

A traffic camera faces where the incident occurred.

from the 6-yard line.

With time running down, Jackson hung on to the ball on a quarterback keeper and fought his way through the line, dragging a handful of Highlander defenders across the goal line for a 13-7 lead with 2.2 seconds left, sending Lindbergh fans into a frenzy on their sidelines.

Lindbergh missed the extra point, but time ran out on the ensuing kickoff to give the Eagles the victory and a perfect 4-0 record so far this season.

Hazen falls to 1-3.

Lindbergh travels to Foster Friday for a 7 p.m. matchup with the Bulldogs. Hazen takes on Kennedy at 7 p.m. Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Matthews said Hazen was under offensive pressure and couldn’t find a player to clear the ball.

“Dinks (sophomore goalie Brittany Dinkins) made the initial save but we got caught in a midfield gap that Lindbergh filled,” Matthews said.

“I can’t remember a game we’ve ever won when we gave up the first score,” said Hazen Assistant Coach Bre Vanden Bos, adding, “I didn’t mention that to Ken until after the game thankfully.”

It looked like the half was going to end in Lindbergh’s favor, but with just a little more than two minutes left in the half, senior midfielder Brianne Sherin crossed a ball that deflected, off a Lindbergh player and junior forward Brook Swensen headed it into the

Head pushed through window

‘I’m drunk and stoned’

A Kent man’s head was pushed through the window at Freddie’s Club on South Third Street Sept. 22, after he tried to defend the suspect’s girlfriend.

Standing outside the club, 42-year-old victim was counseling the girlfriend after she had an argument with the suspect. The boyfriend overheard the discussion, grabbed the victim by the neck and pushed his head into the glass. The window shattered.

The suspect, a 24-year-old Kent man, then left in a Honda Accord.

A manager at the casino told an officer the suspect was a regular customer but he had been barred from the casino because of aggressive attitude toward employees.

The suspect was cited and the case was forwarded to the Renton prosecutor’s office for review.

A 26-year-old Seattle man was trespassed from the Walmart store on Rainier Avenue Sept. 20, only to return in less than an hour smelling of marijuana and alcohol.

He walked toward the store, passing the big Walmart sign and the officer sitting in his car doing paperwork, all the while drinking a Natural Ice beer.

After taking the man into custody, the officer smelled the marijuana and alcohol. “I’m drunk and stoned,” the man told him. He told the officer he was never told to stay away from Walmart.

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

Resident thwarts burglars A 30-year-old Renton man had just gone to bed at 4 a.m.

Sept. 20 when he heard a noise at his front door, on Hardie Avenue Southwest.

He grabbed a flashlight and found two men standing in his front door, one wearing women’s gardening gloves covered with flowers. Both of them wore ski masks.

They ran when they saw the resident. One of the burglars had to yank on his jacket to break it loose from the screen door, which came off its hinges. net, for 1-1 half time score.

The second half was more of the same.

Hazen played at Kennedy on Thursday and takes

Lindbergh played Renton Thursday and travels to Highline Tuesday.
