Persson to lead council in 2014 Prince elected president pro tem By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
With the election well behind them, the Renton City Council this past month selected a new council president and council president pro tem for next year. The council unanimously approved Don Persson as next year’s president. As president, Persson will conduct the meetings and set the agendas for both the council meetings and the Committee of the Whole meetings that precede them. This year, Persson was chair of the Public Safety Committee and vice-chair of the Finance Committee. In his 13 years on the council, he has served as president three times prior. Councilman Ed Prince was selected as president pro tem by a vote of 5-2 with Councilmembers Greg Taylor and Marice Palmer voting in the negative. The president pro-tem runs the meeting in the president’s absence. [ more roles page 4 ]

Renton School District’s superintendent to become Gov. Jay Inslee’s chief of staff, she left some pretty big shoes to fill. The previous year, Heuschel was named 2011 Washington Superintendent of the Year and had made numerous connections for the school district with her prominence and new spotlight on the district. Among other accomplishments, the district credited Heuschel with increasing high school graduation rates and working to close the ethnicity achievement gap. Assistant Superintendent Vera Risdon was selected as the interim superintendent, with a career that started and would end in Renton. The district conducted a nationwide search to fill the position and narrowed the field to six local [ more top stories page 8 ]

If the dark days of winter typically get you down and your depression seems to be unrelated to anything going on in your life, you may have seasonal affective disorder. Seasonal affective disorder is an organic type of depression that has to do with a chemical imbalance in the brain, explains Rhonda Griffin, a mental health counselor at Valley Medical Center. “When our brains are triggered by the lack of sunlight and it’s darker, the chemicals that we [ more tips page 4 ]

As 2013 comes to an end, the Renton Reporter staff is taking a look back at some of the stories that most affected our readers this year. From the seeming conclusion to the library debate, to the murders of two residents by their grandson, to the sentencing of Jarrod Lane, to happier news like a new Renton Superintendnet and a run at the state tournament by both Renton basketball teams as well as an undefeated season by the Lindbergh Eagles football team, 2013 gave us all a lot to think about. Here are some of the stories that we followed this year:

Renton Rotary selects Teachers of the Month
Kelley Lowery is a fifth-grade Discovery teacher at Kennydale Elementary School. Lowery attended Washington State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Kelley Lowery elementary education, with an endorsement in reading. She then attended Grand Canyon University to earn a master’s in reading curriculum instruction. Before teaching in a Discovery classroom, Lowery taught both fourth and fifth grade general education in the Renton School District. This is Lowery’s 10th year teaching in Renton.
Laretha Todd is a thirdgrade teacher at Lakeridge Elementary School. Todd attended Troy University in Troy, Alabama where she earned a bachelor’s degree in education. She continued her education at the University Laretha Todd of Washington, where she then earned a master’s in curriculum and instruction. Todd has been teaching in Renton for 13 years. Jeff Wood is a social studies teacher at Hazen High School. He attended Pacific Lutheran University, in Tacoma, where he earned a bachelor of arts in education. Wood then continued his education at
City University to earn a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction. He spent a year teaching at Bethel High School, in Spanaway, before joining the Renton team. This is Wood’s 22nd year working Jeff Wood in the Renton School District. As part of the recognition, teachers attend Rotary’s Teacher of the Month recognition luncheon held at the Maplewood Golf Course. Each teacher is introduced, makes a brief comment about their school and classroom, and receives $200 to be used for classroom supplies, or instructional materials.
The City of Renton is encouraging residents to recycle their holiday trees by using King County Solid Waste’s services. Trees may be put out for the weekly yard waste pickup, after all ornaments, hooks, tinsel and stands are removed. Branches and trunks must be cut into lengths of four feet or less. Fireproofed or flocked trees will not be accepted. For more information, call 206296-4466.
King County encourages everyone to start the new year on a green note by recycling their Christmas trees, rather than throwing them in the garbage. Trees – minus the tinsel and other decorations – can be chipped into landscaping material or ground into compost. Diverting trees from the landfill leaves more room for the stuff that really needs to be there. Here are some tree-recycling options: • Curbside pickup: If you have curbside yard waste collection service, you can place your tree at the curb with your regular yard waste. Restrictions vary, so be sure to check with your garbage hauler for the details. • Private companies: Several companies in King County collect Christmas trees for recycling – at rates that are lower than the transfer station. Visit http://your.kingcounty.gov/solidwaste/garbage-recycling/documents/TreeCycling-flier.pdf. • Fundraising events: A number of community groups sponsor Christmas tree-cycling fundraising events, including scouting troops, churches and others. For a small donation, they will pick up your tree and deliver it to a commercial recycler. Look for neighborhood flyers for recycling events. For more information, call the King County Solid Waste Division, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at 206-477-4466 or toll free, at 1-800-325-6165, ext. 6-4466, TTY Relay: 711 or visit the website at http://your.kingcounty.gov/solidwaste/index.asp.

Renton resident Sherry Lee entertained Spencer Court residents with the Japanese art form of fish rubbing, earlier this month. It’s called gyotaku. Lee, a self-taught artist, has been doing this form of fish printing for 20 years. She started after she read about the technique, which dates back to the mid-1800s, she said. “I did it in Baja, Mexico as an alternative to taxidermy,” Lee said. Fishermen would bring the artist their catch and she would paint the bodies of the fish carcasses and press rice paper to their scales. Using colors to match their scales, the acrylic paint would outline and detail the fish shapes. Lee then paints and draws in the eye detail. Lee has painted for clients in Texas, Washington, California and Mexico. She gets her fish from Uwajimaya grocery store and her rice paper from a retailer, with stores in Seattle and Bellevue. “It’s an art that’s perfect for the Northwest,” Lee said. “There are some gorgeous rice papers.” On Monday, Lee also exhibited 126 pieces of her art, including portraits in oil on canvas and mixed media.

Questions abound in the new year Pyrotechnic spectacles aren’t the only way of welcoming a new year. There are bear dances in Moldavia, pickle drops in Pennsylvania. And in Ecuador, many celebrate the arrival by torching handconstructed life-sized effigies to symbolize the burning of one’s regrets and the baggage of the previous 12 months, so they can begin the next dozen with a fresh slate. Oh, if it was only so easy to forget and move on. Alas, 2013 left a ration of questions to be answered in the course of 2014. Here is a sampling. (Feel free to email me your predictive answers.) Will the Boeing Co. build the 777X in Washington even if the Machinists reject the contract extension offer this week? Will Gov. Jay Inslee and Snohomish County Executive John Lovick give up their pensions if the Machinists vote to give up theirs? Will the tally be so close that a recount and lawsuit are needed to determine the outcome? Does John Koster’s new job as Snohomish County ombudsman mean the popular Republican won’t run for political office again? Can retiring County Councilman Dave Gossett count on getting a job in the Lovick administration too? With Gold Bar Mayor Linda Loen and Councilman Thomas Palmer living under the same roof, are their honey-do lists public records? Can Democrats retake the seat Republican state Rep. Mike Hope of Mill Creek muscled away from them six years ago? Will Hope manage to publish his book, “100 Ideas for Washington’s Future”, before he becomes part of its past? While on the subject of the 44th Legislative District, is this the final year for Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish? Or are the latest rumors of his retirement the concoction of a wishful member of the GOP? Will the strongest challenger to newly appointed Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett be another Democrat? Will the only challenger to Sen. Rodney Tom, D-Medina, be other Democrats? Is budget-writing Republican Sen. Andy Hill of Redmond the next Dino Rossi? Will a poll be released showing Hill as the top Republican candidate for governor in 2016 – and beating Inslee in a one-on-one match-up? And will Inslee reply there’s still a half to be played? Can Democrats win enough seats to recapture the majority in the state Senate? Can Republicans win enough seats to regain the majority in the United States Senate? Will anyone challenge the Democratic incumbents in Washington’s congressional delegation? Will Congress pass a farm bill to avoid driving the U.S. off the “Dairy cliff ” and leaving hungry families even hungrier? How many people will decide to spend some of their coffee money on cannabis? Who will expend more on legal marijuana [ more CORNFIELD page 5 ]

Letter to the editor Small act of kindness at store is inspiring I would like to commend the employees and manager at the Albertsons grocery store on Sunset Boulevard in Renton. I was shopping last week when I noticed a very elderly man struggling to sit down on the corner of a table filled with desserts. He was obviously in need of help. Immediately a store manager was at his side, talking to him and retrieved a stool so he could sit more comfortably and safely. Several other employees came to his aid as well. While I was in line, the clerk briefly went over to speak to her manager, alerting him she
knew him and his wife was shopping in the store. They paged her and the clerk came back apologized for leaving for a very brief moment and explained she knew him. As I walked out to my car I saw the manager personally escorting the gentleman to his car. It warmed my heart to see such thoughtfulness and kindness displayed by all the Albertsons employees. As an advocate for the elderly, I see far to often senior citizens in need of a helping hand or an offer of assistance. Unfortunately, they don’t always receive it as this senior citizen so deservedly did. Thank you again.

We all need a fresh start in 2014 The New Year is traditionally a time for reflection and renewal. A shiny new year lies ahead, full of promise. The New Year is a time when people pledge to change their lives: lose weight, stop smoking, be a better parent, work harder, work less. Regardless of your situation, the New Year holds the opportunity for a fresh start. Our nation needs a fresh start. We are now entering the fifth year of the economic “recovery,” the slowest on record since the Great Depression. While there have been sporadic fits and starts of improved numbers, economic growth and job creation remain painfully slow.

of 16 weeks. Today, the average is nine months, with many people out of work for two years or more. While the official unemployment rate has dropped to 7 percent, the “real” rate, including the millions who have given up looking for work, is double that. U.S. economic policy needs a fresh start in 2014. It’s time for a change. Another change? We need to stop the avalanche of regulations that are slowing our recovery. The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) reports that government agencies issued more than 3,300 new regulations in 2013 with compliance costs of $1.8 trillion per year. Reasonable regulations are necessary of course, but there are already more than one million federal regulations on the books. And the pace of new regulations is relentless – one every two hours and nine minutes, 24 hours [ more BRUnell page 5 ]

There was some discussion prior to the votes as Taylor questioned why he had not yet been selected for a leadership position despite his six years on the council. Taylor followed the nomination of Persson and Prince, put forward by Council President Randy Corman, with his question and by nominating himself Don Persson for the president pro-tem position. After a brief discussion of procedure, a vote was taken and Persson and Prince were selected. They will begin serving their terms in January. The council committee on committees, made up of outgoing president Randy Corman, Persson and Prince also select new members for each of the council’s six subcommittees. The new committee makeup for 2014 is: Finance Committee: Terri Briere, chair; Marcie Palmer and Prince; Public Safety Committee: Corman, chair; Taylor and Briere; Community Services: Taylor, chair; Corman and Armondo Pavone; Utilities: Pavone, chair; Prince and Corman; Planning: Prince, chair; Briere and Palmer; Transportation: Palmer, chair, Pavone and Taylor.

for another year. Health insurance reform needs a fresh start in 2014. Washington state would also benefit from a New Year’s reevaluation. Gov. Inslee is moving forward with California-like climate change regulations, but because Washington is much cleaner than California, we don’t need – nor would we see much benefit from – such disruptive and costly regulations. At the same time, the Department of Ecology is pursuing new water quality regulations for public and private water treatment facilities that DOE officials admit are literally impossible to meet – and may be for decades to come. A recent study projects this impossible standard could cost ratepayers and employers billions of dollars with no hope of compliance and little environmental benefit to show for it. The City of Bellingham says the regulation could push a family’s monthly sewer bill from $35 to $200 or more. As we approach the New Year, it’s time for our elected officials and state regulators to reevaluate the path they’re on. Individuals, families, employers, politicians and policymakers – we all need a fresh start in 2014. Don Brunell is the president of the Association of Washington Business.

per day, 365 days per year, for the last 20 years In testimony before Congress, George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley warned that unelected regulators are becoming a powerful “fourth branch” of government. We need to take a fresh look at overregulation in 2014. Perhaps the most high-profile regulation slowing our recovery is the Affordable Care Act – Obamacare – rushed through Congress in 2010 at the president’s urging. Obamacare is causing widespread market disruption and uncertainty. Millions have lost their coverage and as many as 80 million more may take a hit when the employer mandate is triggered. Many small businesses have deferred hiring, and millions of people have been reduced to part-time work. It will cost people and our economy trillions. In an attempt to avert a voter backlash, President Obama has delayed the employer mandate, added exemptions, extended deadlines, changed eligibility rules – all without Congressional approval. Multiple lawsuits challenging the ACA are working their way through the courts. Both political parties agree: it’s a mess. This confusion and uncertainty must not continue

affective disorder: 1. Take your vitamins. Specifically, vitamin D is what one gets from sunlight and vitamin C boosts the immune system and helps metabolize vitamin D. 2. Get a light box. Light therapy is thought to help people recover quickly from seasonal affective disorder because of the full-spectrum of bright light it exposes them to at 10 to 15 minute sessions per day. Light boxes are pretty common these days, said Griffin, and can be found at most corner drug stores. 3. Exercise. Staying active can stimulate that sense of well-being, Griffin said. “So if you stay active, you’re going to feel a lot better rather than sitting on your coach watching TV and eating chips,” she said. 4. Book that trip to Hawaii. “If you know you’re going to plan something, you have something to look forward to, so you know that this is temporary,” Griffin said.
She hasn’t heard of as many people experiencing seasonal affective disorder this winter because the area has received a lot of sun so far. “I think it’s hard for people who have been raised in warmer climates,” Griffin said. “When they transplant here, it affects them a little bit harder.” People sometimes realize they have the condition after they notice a repeat pattern of visiting web sites like Travelocity to book vacations at this time, year after year. For others, they don’t realize it until they start to unravel details about their depression in the therapist’s office and realize there is a sort of anniversary to their blues, the counselor said. “With any depression, a lot of it has to do with making sure you have supportive people and are engaging with people who are positive rather than draining,” Griffin said. Surrounding one with as much positive energy as possible makes one that much better off, she said.

New lounge brings taste of Vietnam, music to East Valley Road By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
A new entertainment venue that specializes in Vietnamese coffee, food and music is drawing a diverse audience. Royce Coffee and Lounge opened its doors this fall on East Valley Road. So far, the spacious and jewel-toned lounge has received more business than the restaurant, but owner Tracy Huynh hopes guest will discover the food soon too. “We’re famous for breakfast in Vietnam, so we’ll introduce (that) to people here,” said Huynh back before the venue opened. Royce hasn’t started breakfast service yet, but it is open for lunch and dinner and serves their famous Vietnamese coffee at all hours. Huynh describes Vietnamese coffee as bolder in flavor and more aromatic. It’s traditionally made

Sweet Decadence Chocolates is the latest business to begin calling The Landing their home. “Moving to The Landing makes sense for the business,” said owner Sandra Wixon. “The Landing offers a location that’s located just off I-405. It will be easy for customers to find Sweet Decadence in the outdoor village atmosphere with plenty of parking and an array of shopping and dining options.
“I am excited about opening at our new location at The Landing, but a part of my heart will always remain in Newcastle,” said Wixon. As the new location is less than five miles away from the current shop, Wixon is confident that she will continue to serve current customers as well as welcome new one. Much will remain the same at Sweet Decadence’s new location. The emphasis on specialized gourmet
chocolate will continue, as will the popular chocolate and wine pairings. Featured pastries and coffees will also still be served. The Landing location will have more in store seating allowing for more guests to sit and enjoy a coffee or glass of wine as they view the chocolate making. The new shop’s décor features a chocolate theme, which will allow customers a full sensory experience.

Hazen loses first game, rebounds with win By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
The Hazen Highlander boys basketball team dropped their first game of the season this past weekend, but bounced back the next day to pick up a win at the Thomas Jefferson Holiday Tournament. On Dec. 27, Hazen fell to Rogers, of Puyallup, 49-46. According to coach Ryan Thompson, Hazen was up by as many as 13 points early in the
second half, but the team did not play well as the clock ran down, giving the Rams an opportunity to come back and win the game. In all, Hazen had 20 turnovers, all unforced. “Our defensive effort and composure let us down in this game,” Thompson said in an email. Dominic Green had 21 points on an 8-for-18 shooting day. Isaiah Davis added 10 rebounds and 3 assists. The Highlanders bounced back on Saturday, however, beat the host Thomas Jefferson Raiders
80-50. Green had 22 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals. Connor O’Heard added 14 points on a 6-for-9 shooting day, with 6 assists and 5 rebounds. Matt Williams also had 11 points and 2 assists and Justin Takeuchi had 12 points, going 3-of-4 from 3-point range. Hazen takes on Mt. Rainier at 7 p.m. Saturday at Hazen High School.

chief student achievement officer, was among the six, which included Anthony Byrd, of Edmonds; Becky Berg, of Deer Park; Chrys Sweeting, of Puyallup and Flip Herndon, of Bremerton. Rieger was chosen among finalists Herndon and Sweeting. The Renton School Board cited Rieger’s depth of experience and sense of vision for their selection. Rieger took office July 1 in the district.
of Public Hospital District No. 1, which owns the hospital. The commission’s face changed this year. Anthony Hemstad moved out of the district and was replaced by Barbara Drennen. Dr. Tamara Sleeter unseated commissioner Sue Bowman. Dr. Aaron Heide is still a commissioner but resigned as an alliance trustee. And Valley CEO Rich Roodman took a pay cut in his new contract and is looking forward to serving as a player/ coach as he heads toward retirement.
Renton schools go deep into the postseason
Renton church closes after 128 years On June 30 the first church ever established in Renton held its final worship service and closing ceremony. First Presbyterian Church of Renton, established in 1885 and later called Living Faith Presbyterian Church, closed unable to build membership and with rising building costs and limited amenities and experiences for church staff and its congregation. At its height, the church had more than 650 members and was one of the largest Presbyterian congregations in the greater Seattle area. It was founded by George Whitworth, a former University of Washington president and founder of Whitworth College in Spokane. A split in ideology twenty-five years ago, fractured the membership, when about 450 members left to start their own church down the road. There were differences of opinions on the inclusion of women and gays in the ministry. But the church continued on with scant numbers. New members did come to Living Faith, but not near as many as previous years. Church leadership decided that keeping the church was not appropriate, considering the changing demographics and shrinking congregation. The building at 2640 Benson Road is still used by a Latin American church and an Eastern European church.
Court declines to review Valley Medical alliance with UW It was a newsy year for Valley Medical Center, a part of UW Medicine under a strategic alliance that’s under fire. The Washington Supreme Court opted not to review a King County Superior Court judge’s decision about a year ago that the strategic alliance is legal, instead sending the case to the Court of Appeals. The appeals court could take months to hear the case, leaving a legal cloud over the alliance. Meanwhile, Valley Medical Center and UW Medicine are working to implement the agreement, which has already brought new services to Valley. The legal challenge was brought by the commissioners
The year in athletics saw the Renton Indians boys and girls basketball teams make their way to the state tournaments, as well as an undefeated season and strong postseason run by the Lindbergh Eagles football team. For the first time in school history, both Renton basketball teams brought home trophies from the atate tournament in Yakima. The girls, led by Taylor Farris, who this fall signed a letter of intent to attend USC Santa Barbara next year, finished in third place. The boys team also played strong but ran into a tough team from Lynden, finishing fifth. This fall, Eagles football fans were treated to a surprise run from their squad, who finsihed the season undefeated, besting Kennedy Catholic in the final game of the season at Renton Memorial Stadium to earn a league championship. The season eventually came to an end in the first round of the playoffs with a 14-7 loss to Mark Morris.
Renton Western Wear closes After 62 years of business, the owners of Renton Western Wear announced the final days of the Renton institution in February.
Library appeal denied In another contentious year surrounding the downtown library issue, Renton residents in 2013 finally got a look at the King County Library System’s plans for their building and were not at all pleased. KCLS’s first plans, debuted at a packed and noisy open house in March, called for a new, 15,400-square-foot facility to be built over the river, but many resident objected to the much-reduced size of the new building and architects returned in April with a 19,500-square-foot design. The current building is 22,400-square-feet. The council in April voted to move forward with the 19,500-square-foot building, eventually adding $1.5 million to the building;s budget to make up the difference in size. But members of the citizen group Save the Cedar River Library…Again! in July filed an appeal of the city’s mitigation plans, claiming the mitigation statement lack a cultural and historical element. During a five-hour hearing examiner meeting, the group made their case, focusing on the pedestrian bridge and over-the-river entrance that were not included in the design of the new building. In August, Hearing Examiner Phil Obrechts ruled that though the library itself was not cultural significant, the bridge and door location were not, denying the appeal and allowing plans to move forward.
Chadd Boysen kills grandparents Melanie Taylor found her parents dead in a closet in their Fairwood home on March 9. Seven months later, she sat with her family in a King County Superior Court courtroom as her son Michael Chadd Boysen was sentenced to two life terms for killing his grandparents, Norma and Robert Taylor. Boysen fled in his grandparents’ car, with their jewelry, cash and other valuables, and to Lincoln City, Ore., where after a standoff with police, he surrendered. After treatment at a Portland hospital for apparent self-inflicted cuts, he spent the next several months in jail in Seattle, preparing for a trial and surviving suicide attempts. The trial never came. He pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated first-degree murder. He avoided the death penalty, but a Superior Court judge sentenced him to two consecutive life terms without possibility of parole. “There are few people I loved more than my grandparents,” he told the court. He never explained why he killed his grandparents.
Lane pleads guilty for murder of Jessica Scholl Siblings Gina and Jerry Kavesh posted a good-bye and thank you letter on the doors of the store with details about the closing sale for merchandise. The business was shuttering it’s doors for good on Third Street downtown Renton and also at its Tacoma location. The owners cited the economy for the demise of Renton Western Wear, which they owned for three generations. Twenty-seven employees were working at the store at the time it closed. Loyal customers and friends were invited to shop for two days and the general public perused the shelves for the remaining 60 days. On Jan. 31, the Renton store location still sits empty, occupied only by artwork displays in the window..
Jessica Scholl and Jarod Thomas Lane were sweethearts for about two years, but they broke up, leaving Lane distraught. On May 22, 2012, Lane went to Jessica’s home around the corner from Lindbergh High School. After one last visit, he promised to leave her alone. Instead, he stabbed her multiple times and set the familiy’s house afire. It was morning and her parents, Stephanie and Douglas Scholl, had already gone to work. Lane fled in his car; he was captured 2,000 miles away in Oklahoma City, Okla. An emotional candlelight vigil was held at Lindbergh, attended by about 1,000 people, to remember Jessica. Legal maneuvering dragged on for months. This September, Lane, 21, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and first-degree murder. He’ll spend 33 years in prison. Jessica’s parents rebuilt their house.

Highlanders beat Kennedy, finish strong at tourney Hazen Wrestling defeated Kennedy by a score of 59-24 Dec. 19 before departing for the two day Hammerhead Invitational Dec. 20-21. The weekend featured 40 teams from Washington, and Oregon. In the tournament the Highlanders had their best Hammerhead outing thus far after placing four wrestlers on the podium. Malik Haythorne led the way for Hazen by working his way into the finals. In the semi-final match, Haythorne upset the No. 4 ranked wrestler in the state but fell short in the finals to place second. At 138 pounds, Zach Moore placed fifth for the second year in a row. Jairo Barhona also placed fifth at 182 pounds. In the girls division, Raven Svenson went on to take third place after beating in dramatic fashion the No. 1 seeded wrestler in her 155 pound bracket. Overall, the team performed well and beat out a few tough programs in the team standings, according to coach Rory Magana. “Our team has started to become a strong tournament team which is something new to us,” he said in an email. Hazen heads to the Everett Classic on Saturday.

What is Joint Tenancy? Joint tenancy is a form of ownership in which two or more persons own an asset jointly. Upon the death of one, the ownership of the asset is presumed to pass to the surviving joint owner(s) without probate. Sometimes joint tenancy is useful. But it may be inconsistent with the provisions of the Will and create uncertainty or conflict after death. In other cases, joint tenancy can disrupt a plan to minimize estate taxes. Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner. Consult an estate planning attorney. 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.
