Valley Medical board freezes Roodman’s pay at 2013 levels

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Practice makes perfect Members of Valley SWAT were in Renton Dec. 12 and 13, running practice drills at several of the Sunset Terrace buildings scheduled for demolition. The team, comprised of members from Renton, Auburn, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Port of Seattle and Tukwila police departments, ran multiple drills, including the use of explosives, above, to open doors and allow access MORE PHOTOS online… to buildings. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter rentonreporter.com

Rich Roodman, Valley Medical Center’s CEO, will have his $1 million yearly pay and bonuses frozen at 2013 levels under a new two-year contract the center’s Board of Trustees approved unanimously Tuesday.

The new contact also spells out a succession plan to replace him as CEO once his retirement is set.

“The board feels it is important to begin succession planning right away, because when Rich does decide to retire, there will be a stable transition for the organization,” said trustee chair Lisa Jensen.

In an interview after the vote, Jensen said it was “great” to have a unanimous vote. The trustees’ compensation committee had considered everything from not extending Roodman’s contract to extending it for four years, she said. [ more roodman page 9 ]

Toy drive helps more than 640 families Shonna Williams has been relying on support from the Renton Salvation Army’s toy distribution for years, but thought she would be in a better financial situation this year. After getting sick and not being able to work, she said it was a surprise to find herself back at the toy drive needing gifts, but she’s grateful.

“I think it’s great,” Williams said Wednesday morning.

“It’s an opportunity for me to get food and gifts for my family that I probably otherwise wouldn’t get because of my financial situation.”

Williams has three teenagers to support at home and two adult children outside the home. She first heard about the Salvation Army’s toy give-away years ago, when she was living in a shelter.

The Renton Salvation Army helped parents of more than 640 families fulfill their Christmas lists this year with their annual toy distribution, from the site of the former LA Fitness at Renton Center, earlier this week.

“We’ve actually gone a little bit above our goal,” said Capt. Chris Aird of the Salvation Army. “We’re reaching out and reaching more families this year than we did [ more TOYS page 4 ]

City Hall volunteer retires after 18 years at desk

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

When Helenanne Botham started volunteering at Renton City Hall the year was 1995.

Eighteen years have passed and a lot of changes since then and now Botham, who is almost 88 years old, is retiring. She volunteered more than 4,000 hours at the info desk and other city events, like River Days.

“It’s grown a great deal,” she said of City Hall since she started there.

She began her volunteer hours in the old building at 200 Mill downtown Renton.

“Once we got into the new building, it helped that we didn’t have departments spread all over town,” Botham said. “It was very nice to get into the new building and it’s grown since then too. And we’ve of course annexed a lot too in recent years.”

She’s learned a great deal about the way Renton operates and had a good time doing it, from the help

Helenanne Botham has been helping people from her position at the City Hall information desk for 18 years. Courtesy image desk.

“Helenanne is very congenial, thoughtful, and always helpful,” said Jason Seth, Renton deputy city clerk. “She has a great sense of humor and loved to share stories

about her family while working her shift. She was a prior recipient of the Outstanding Service Award for her volunteer work at Renton River Days.”

Botham has been volunteering

for city projects ever since 1982, with the Friendly Kitchen and the Renton History Museum.

“It just interested me the City Hall opportunity,” she said, citing meeting people and a behind-thescenes peek at city operations as a main interest.

Most recently she’s proud of projects like the Center of Hope day shelter, which is housed in the bottom of City Hall.

Now with eyesight problems, Botham said it will be a challenge to commute from her home in the Highlands to City Hall, so she’s leaving her post. She will miss the City Hall staff and the people she meets at the desk, but looks forward to spending more time with family and friends.

“I’m very proud of Renton; we’ve done a lot of good,” Botham said.

She doesn’t think there was ever a time she didn’t want to volunteer at City Hall.

“It’s just been really very rewarding and really fun,” she said.

Valley Medical ordered to pay Burien couple $50 million Appeal considered in ruling over wrong genetic test

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Valley Medical Center and a national medical laboratory are considering whether to appeal a jury’s verdict to award $50 million to a Burien couple whose son was born with a genetic defect.

There was reason for Brock and Rhea Wuth’s concern.

Brock Wuth’s cousin was born with the genetic defect, known as unbalanced chromosome translocation, and testing showed that he also carried the chromosomes that are essentially in

the wrong place.

There was a 50-50 chance he could pass on the defect to his children. The Wuth’s son Ian was born with normal chromosomes in 2002, before Wuth was tested.

“They were lucky,” said their attorney, Todd Gardner of Renton, in an interview.

Taking no chances and on the advice of their obstetrician, the Wuths went to Valley Medical Center in 2007 for genetic testing of the fetus while the pregnancy was still in the first trimester, according to Gardner Tests showed the unborn child was normal, but when Oliver was born at Highline Hospital in July 2008, he had major mental and physical disabilities. The sophisticated test that would

have shown Oliver carried the flawed chromosomes hadn’t been done, according to Gardner.

In a statement following the jury verdict, Valley Medical Center expressed “its sincere and heartfelt sympathies to the entire family for what they are dealing with now and in the days ahead. Notwithstanding this unfortunate result, we continue to believe that the staff of Valley Medical Center’s Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic acted appropriately and continue to provide high quality care to our patients and their families.”

Gardner argued in a weeks-long trial in King County Superior Court that the genetic-counseling unit at Valley’s Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic was un-

derstaffed and not properly supervised.

Valley Medical Center ordered the right test but didn’t provide the lab with the necessary information that would tell the lab where to look for the abnormal chromosomes, he said. And the lab, Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp) of North Carolina, didn’t follow its own procedures that call for asking for any missing information, he said.

A standard genetic test was done and Valley didn’t catch the error, he said.

A King County Superior Court jury on Dec. 10 awarded the $50 million, to be paid equally by Valley Medical and LabCorp.

Gardner said an appeal is almost certain, which likely will happen by mid-Febru-

ary. The appeal could take two years, he said.

LabCorp began providing genetic testing for Valley Medical in January 2005.

In its statement Valley indicated that “out of respect for the parties involved as well as the process, we will withhold comment on the particulars of this case until we have an opportunity to discuss the next steps with legal counsel.”

In its statement Laboratory Corporation of America indicated “we believe the facts and the law do not support the verdict. LabCorp acted properly and diligently in performing the test that was ordered by the physician. We will consider all available options, including post-trial motions and appeal, if necessary.”

Earl Ronald (Ron) Pieper, avid hunter and fisherman and 57 year resident of Renton, passed away December 11, 2013.

He was 92. Born to Earl and Bertha (Cole) Pieper on February 5, 1921 in Cogswell, ND he was raised in Aberdeen, SD where he shot nuisance pests for area farmers. He loved anything to do with cars, picking this up by working at his dad’s gas station and making deliveries throughout northeastern South Dakota. He attended Northern State Teachers College and joined the Army for the waning part of WWII. Due to his marksmanship abilities he quickly made corporal and became a rifle instructor.

Upon separating from the Army he trained to become an aircraft mechanic, which eventually led him to become a Boeing machinist as a tool maker. He retired from Boeing in 1983 and continued to enjoy his hobbies as long as he was able.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 61 years Frances Marie (Peck) Pieper, and is survived by daughters Danita Killingsworth (Russ) of Kent and Dayle Pieper of Kent, three grandchildren, and brother Kenneth Pieper of Rochester, MN. Services were held Thursday December 19 at Tahoma National Cemetery. Send remembrances to the Salvation Army or Northwest Harvest.

The City of Renton this month received a $150,000 grant to develop and implement salmon-friendly projects along the Cedar River.

The grant, from the Puget Sound Recovery Council, is designed to help the city determine the best ways to improve and restore the lower section of the Cedar River, which passes through the heart of downtown on its way to Lake Washington.

According to Renton Surface Water Utility Engineering Supervisor Ron Straka, the idea behind the grant is to study the area and see what could be done in the future, since this grant includes no money for building projects.

“It sets us up for future grants,” he said.

Straka said the primary focus would be the lower Cedar River, which stretches from Interstate 405 to the lake and is heavily developed but still a “critical” area for salmon, which spawn up the Cedar every year.

“The lower Cedar River is really important as far as improving habitat,” he said.

According to Straka, one of the problems with the lower section of the river, for example, is that it has created something of a “monoculture” habitat of rolling waters, and it might be beneficial to the fish and wildlife

to create more pools, perhaps through the use of stumps or boulders.

There could also be new plantings or repairs of vegetation, including the possibility of moving the trail back from the river’s banks some, to create more shade to help keep the water cooler and more conducive to the fish.

But doing that could end up creating other problems with the river, such as possibly exacerbating flooding.

Straka said they just don’t know if that would be the case and this grant should help the city determine what can be done.

Straka said the city would work with other agencies to develop a restoration plan for the river, including the feasibility of projects, given the restraints of the development in the area.

The plan will then be presented to the public.

Men hard-wired to give bad gifts Something tells me it is time for my Christmas present advice column. My columns generally prompt some screaming arm thrower at a city meeting to throw some arms at me, usually attached.

Today’s column is designed to be a self-help guide to the universe of buying presents for your wife or girlfriend.

Christmas is such a special time of year that I always try to mentor the young married couples and those preparing for the big fall to understand just how hopeless and happy it all really is.

At a certain crossroads in my life, I learned an essential lesson when buying presents at Christmas or Valentine’s Day, or any other presentgiving trap-day.

I am sure you have heard the axiom, “it’s the thought that counts.” If you believe that one you had better be adding lots of 151 rum to the eggnog. You are going to need it. It may be your only friend for awhile.

Here is the secret, and this part of the column is for men only. Women should stop reading until the last line, please.

You are supposed to fail at buying a gift for your wife.

Only in the beginning of a marriage does the “oh, that is so nice” line get activated.

After that you get the “look.” We all know what the “look” is . . . it is frightening and prompts 151 eggnog in mason jars.

Here is the revelation of the secret code. You are predestined to fail. No matter how hard you try you will eventually be a present-buying failure. That is the genetic job description set up by God. (I could be wrong about this but I doubt it . . . and I probably wouldn’t admit it if I knew I was . . . that is also part of the genetic job description of the male dummy.)

I did a very scientific poll of the women in office and a few others to get the inside scoop.

More than one gave me the line, “Well, he is not too bad at Christmas (translation: he’s an idiot, but Christmas is close and he may read this column so we will see how he fares) but at Valentine’s Day he sucks.”

Another said her husband bought his mother and grandmother a gift for Mother’s Day but not her. They have a 3-year-old.

Here is a very hot tip. On Mother’s Day when you do not buy a gift for your wife, but you do buy a gift for your mother and grandmother, do not respond to your wife by saying, “Well, honey bunny, you are not my mother.”

During the Mother’s Day season there is a severe shortage of eggnog, which means the 151 rum will need to be consumed straight. You may suddenly find yourself converting into a flambé rubber chicken.

Here is another very good wife quote, “Years ago he bought me a shirt for Christmas, not something I asked for, he guessed that I might like it. I hated it. I instructed him to not buy me clothes ever again. My husband tries but without specific directions about what I want, he fails.”

My favorite is one of my long-time contributor to failed Christmas presents from her husband.

What’s in store in Olympia

A preview of coming attractions and distractions for lawmakers next year can be found in the pile of legislation awaiting them when they return to Olympia in January.

There have been 59 bills filed early – 38 in the House and 21 in the Senate – dealing with specialty license plates and protecting hospital employees from violent criminals as well as naming a state waterfall and ensuring natural disasters don’t shut down government.

Here’s a sample of new laws House and Senate members are already pushing: • One overpass, hold the art: There’s a move afoot to end the prettification of bridges, overpasses, sound walls and off-ramps. House Bill 2092 would bar state transportation agencies from spending public funds to “acquire works of art” or make “decorative finishes or designs Jerry Cornfield

that are not integral to the function of a transportation structure.”

• Washington Pot & Trust: Who better to handle the cash for the pot industry than the state, right? Senate Bill 5955 creates a publicly owned trust to “act as the sole depository for in-state marijuana producers, processers, and retailers and to use taxable earnings from those deposits for the benefit of the people and economy of the state.”

• All in the cannabis family: You won’t get high off hemp but you might make money selling oils, clothes and other products made from this variety of cannabis sativa. Senate Bill 5954 sets the rules for a new industrial hemp industry. Growers will need licenses and pay fees and those dollars would be deposited in the proposed publicly owned trust.

Letter to the editor Let’s make affordable housing available to all Sometime back a presentation was made to the Renton AARP group regarding “affordable mixed-use housing in the Renton Highlands.”

This presentation also included medical facilities on the ground floor.

The excitement was there in the audience due to the fact that we young seniors are facing downsizing, and living on a fairly fixed income we are in need of “affordable” in our lives.

So the question is to the Renton City

Council, if good people are willing to step up, the money is there, and the land is available to build on: How can the city help toward this goal? Can a partnership be developed to build such that everyone benefits in a fair way?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I, for one, would love to retire completely in my hometown of Renton that holds a lifetime of memories and precious friends. Where is the “CLOG” in the flow of constructive action?

• A layer of protection: When a person suspected or convicted of a violent crime is brought to a hospital for care, sometimes they attack nurses or other employees. Under Senate Bill 5968, these potentially violent individuals must be accompanied by a law enforcement officer or guard at all times during the visit.

• Scenic standout: Washington’s got its share of official symbols. There’s a state bird, fruit, insect, folk song and even a ship. House Bill 2119 would name Palouse Falls in southeast Washington as the official state waterfall. The sales pitch: The falls drop 198-feet and are considered one of the most amazing waterfalls in the U.S. and the world.

• Disclosure duties: A little training might help elected leaders of cities, counties and special districts avoid violations of the public records act that can result in big payouts to seekers of records. House Bill 2121 would require

• Primary avoidance: When voters fill the unexpired term of a partisan county office, a primary is held even if only one candidate files.

Under House Bill 2106, no primary would be held in such instances. The candidate must still go before voters in November in case a write-in candidate surfaces.

• In the event of an emergency: Washington’s Constitution lays out how government will operate

in an “emergency resulting from enemy attack.”

It doesn’t mention other emergencies like a natural disaster. Senate Bill 5971 and a proposed constitutional amendment would update the language to make sure an earthquake, tsunami or even invasion from Idaho or Canada are covered.

Liquor thief fights employee The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

A group of underaged males tried to steal liquor from the Safeway on Northeast Sunset Boulevard Nov. 29, including a Bellevue man just short of his 21st birthday who fought a store employee.

An employee spotted the three young men in the alcohol aisle at about 11:15 p.m., carrying backpacks. He knew they were underage, so he went to observe them. They placed bottles of alcohol in the backpacks. When confronted, two ran out the back and fled in a vehicle.

The Bellevue man ran to the front of the store. The employee stopped him and a fight began. The employee wrestled the backpack from the suspect, who fled shirt-

Louis Vuitton bag stolen About $5,600 worth of personal property, including a $1,200 Louis Vuitton bag, was stolen from a car during the Thanksgiving holiday.

The owner had left the car parked into her driveway in the 400 block of Weiss Avenue North. There was no physical damage to the car, but it was ransacked, including the trunk.

Among the items stolen were a laptop computer, a Kindle, golf shirts, clothing, golf balls, Gucci rain boots and jewelry.

retirement plan for executives, supplemental retirement plans and two whole-life insurance polices.

That retirement package is worth $7.5 million.

The new contract replaces one that expires on Dec. 31. It’s the result of months of work by the trustees’ compensation committee, in consultation with Roodman and his attorney.

“This agreement strikes a balance that acknowledges Rich’s service and performance at Valley Medical Center and also recognizes the changing times at Valley and in healthcare in general,” said Jensen.

“The hospital is in great shape,” said trustee Gary Kohlwes. “He’s not only provided the kind of leadership that got us there, but he has recruited people around him who are just outstanding.”

Dr. Paul Joos, a trustee and member of the hospital district’s Board of Commissioners, said the contract with Roodman is “negotiated” and “balanced” and it “respects Rich for the work he has done that will ensure Valley will stay strong.”

Roodman has built up a sizable retirement package that includes the Valley’s

“This is a good compromise,” she said.

This is possibly the last contract Roodman will sign with Valley Medical Center, where he has served as CEO for 31 years.

“This new contract will allow me to continue doing what I enjoy most, providing leadership by steering the organization toward specific performance goals related to patient satisfaction, quality care, financial stability and being a great place to work,” Roodman said.

He used a personal story to put into perspective his final years at Valley Medical.

“As a red-headed kid who grew up in St. Louis and loved baseball, Red Schoendienst was my childhood hero. He was a Baseball Hall-of-Famer with the Cardinals known for his ability to excel as both a player and a coach. Like him, I very much look forward to being a player/coach at this point in my career and mentoring my eventual successor.”

The new contract calls for Roodman to remain as Valley’s CEO through 2015, performing duties that are outlined in the strategic alliance agreement between Public Hospital No. 1, which owns Valley, and UW Medicine.

Midway through the contract, Roodman,

65, and the trustees will discuss whether to extend the contract for a third year.

The contract also calls for Roodman to help search for and then mentor or assist his replacement if a new CEO is selected before it expires.

The new contract cuts Roodman’s pay and benefits by about $465,000 below his 2013 contract.

His base pay is frozen at Rich Roodman the 2013 level, $768,841, and his incentive pay is frozen at the 2013 level, $238,341, for a total $1,007,182.

The elimination of the executive retention payment and the discontinuation of contributions to a supplemental retirement program accounts for the $465,000.

The compensation package places Roodman within the 50th to 75th percentile of executives in comparable hospitals across the country. Before the policy was recently changed, the target was compensation within the 75th to 90th percentile of the comparable group.

Roodman’s pay has always been controversial. But commissioners Tuesday night praised him for his leadership in growing

Lindbergh grapplers slip by Hazen in dual meet

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Lindbergh Eagles came out on top against Hazen this past week in the first intra-district matchup of the year and then finished 10th out of 18 teams Saturday at the Edmonds Invitational.

The match with Hazen was exceedingly tight, with the Eagles winning by a single point, 35-34.

According to Coach Michael Pine, the key matches for Lindbergh were freshman Devon Maddy holding off nearfall point in the final 10 second to save a single team point. While Maddy lost, had he given up the nearfall, his opponent would have earned a major decision - instead of just a decision - winning more points in the match and Hazen could have potentially won the meet.

In addition, Chad Omonaka and Jayden Schwope earned pins for the team.

“We are a very young team that never gives up,” Pine said.

Here are the full results from the

meet: 145 – Cameron Felt (H) pinned Javon Willis, 1:01 152 – Malik Haythorne (H) pinned Joe Slothower, :44 160 – Daniel Palanciuc (H) dec.

Renton swim team a small but dedicated group

They may not have a pool to call their own, but the Renton High School swim team is still looking to make some waves this season.

According to coach Diane Pavelin, the Indians have a good group of returning swimmers from last year’s team ready to go, including junior breaststroker/individual medley/sprint free-

styler and second-team All League honoree Dan Pham.

Also back is Danny Mar, a senior who swims sprint freestyle races and Benny Souriyadeth a middle-distance swimmer who was also named to last year’s All-League second team.

All three returners were part of last year’s state 400 freestyle relay team, along with Josh Mehlhaff, who graduated in the spring.

Along with the three top returners, Pavelin

said to watch for distance swimmer Brennan Brichoux and sprinter Angelo Ocampo.

Joining the team this season are 10 new swimmers.

Pavelin said with so many new swimmers on the team, the goal is to work on improving all season long and get as many to place at leagues and qualify for the district and state meets.

Renton opened its season Dec. 17 against Steilacoom at the Hazen pool.

Renton School District, 7812 South 124th Street, Seattle, WA 98178, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit.

The proposed project, Spring Glen Elementary School Site Improvements is located at 2607 Jones Avenue South in Renton, in King County. This project involves 4.5 acres of soil disturbance for site improvement construction activities.Improvements include improved parking and walkways for the existing school site, new portable classroom buildings and upgrades to two existing buildings, and stormwater conveyance and flow control facilities Stormwater will be discharged to an un-named stream. Prior to discharge, stormwater is collected in a series of underdrains and piped via tightline conveyance system to a flow control pond for controlled release to an existing storm drain line.

Highlanders take sixth at Decatur invitational

Spotlight

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

After dropping a close one to Lindbergh on Thursday, the Hazen wrestling team rallied back with a strong finish this past weekend at the Hurricane Harris Invitational at Decatur High School.

Hazen placed sixth out of a total of 19 teams at the invitational.

Malik Haythorne won the tournament at 152 pounds, pinning and tech-falling each opponent he faced. Derek Nichols battled his way through his bracket to the finals and took second at 126 pounds. At one point in the finals match he was very close to upsetting the fourth-ranked wrestler in the state, according to coach Rory Magana.

Jairo Barahona took third at 182 pounds after losing a very close semi-finals match to the eventual champion. He won out through the back door. Tyson Mowrey placed fifth at 106 pounds in his first-ever varsity tournament after losing a hard-fought overtime battle for third place.

The Highlanders’ finish is even more impressive considering they were able to do it without wrestlers at the 113-, 170-, 220-, and 285-pound classes Hazen is scheduled to take on Kennedy Catholic Thursday at home and will head to the Hammerhead Invitational in Kitsap on Friday and Saturday.

Do you need a Power of Attorney?

(Renton Highlands I405 Exit 5)

A power of attorney is a document that names an agent to make decisions for you. Typically, the agent makes decisions when you are unable to make financial and/or health decisions.

Everyone should consider whether to sign a power of attorney. Without it, no one (not even a spouse) has authority to act for you. Guardianship may be required if decisions have to be made when you are unable to do so.

Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend. Consult an estate planning attorney today.

I have more than 39 years of experience providing thoughtful and comprehensive counsel for clients. Please call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment.

Committed to you and the community.
