Automatic water meters well ahead of schedule

Out with the old...

Program 18 months ahead, already detecting major leaks

Demolition has begun on the Sunset Terrace property in the Highlands, which will be the site of the new Highlands Library and a revitalization project.

The library is currently in the permitting phase. The King County Library System team hopes to put the project out to bid in June, with construction starting about a month after that. Construction will take about a year. “Now that the city is through the negotiations with the developer, we anticipate the project going smoother,” said Greg Smith, facilities director for KCLS. Tracey Compton, Renton Reporter

The city’s Automated Water Meter Reading program passed a big milestone this year with the installation of the 10,000th radio on city water meters.

As of March 31, 10,450 radios have been installed, well ahead of schedule at this point.

In total, 17,500 radios will be installed by mid-2015, about 18 months ahead of the originally scheduled five-year deadline.

“We are way ahead of schedule,” said Public Works Water Engineering Supervisor Abdoul Gafour.

Gafour said the original plan was to install about 3,500 radios per year, but as the crews, led by project manager J.D. Wilson, got roll[ more Meters page 9 ]

Lindbergh robotics team takes top spot at district competition The Lindbergh Robotics Team this past weekend clenched its second district win at the Central Washington District Event at Central Washington University, securing the school’s first-ever FIRST District Championship.

FIRST, which stands for “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology,” is an international high school robotics competition. This was the first time the team of students made it out of the quarterfinal round with their robot, named “the Talon.”

Lindbergh’s team of 50 students put in more than 5,000 hours working on their robot. Prior to the

competition they built a “rough draft” robot in four weeks and used the results from tests to redesign the actual robot they took to the competition.

“I figured we would do well, but I definitely didn’t expect us to win,” said Casi Goodman, the chassis team lead. “That was a huge surprise.”

For this event, the team played to the strengths of the alliances they formed with other schools.

Lindbergh was captain of the third-ranked alliances and chose Anacortes High School and On Track Academy of Spokane to be on their alliance for the elimination matches. All three schools are considered the winning teams of the Central Washington District Event.

The goal of the competition was to get a big yoga [ more robotics page 3 ]

School Board honors outstanding employees

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The Renton School Board and community members recognized and celebrated the winners of this year’s district Outstanding Employee Awards at a special board meeting at the Meadow Crest Early Learning Center on March 26.

Five staff members were recognized by district administration, colleagues and students. The School Board has presented the awards for more than 30 years to honor staff who demonstrate an extraordinary level of job performance, support of students, professionalism and dedication. This year nearly 30 district employees were nominated in four categories: Outstanding Elementary Teacher, Outstanding Secondary Teacher, Outstanding School Support Person and Outstanding District Support Person.

William Riggs, a fifth-grade teacher at Talbot Hill ElWilliam Riggs ementary School,

[ robotics from page 1]

received the Outstanding Elementary Teacher Award. Riggs has been with the district for four decades, teaching at Campbell Hill, Renton Park and Tiffany Elementary schools as well. He was recognized for his passion for history and social studies, which allow him to creatively bring historical moments to life through his skilled storytelling style.

Two teachers were recognized in the Outstanding Secondary Teacher category: Angie Donahue, a Lindbergh High math teacher, and Josh Viles, a Hazen High music and choir director.

Two students gave their personal testimony about Angie Donahue Donahue, whom they described like a “second mom.” Donahue has taught math at Lindbergh for two years and is noted for her endless energy and positive and encouraging demeanor. She is also the assistant coach for the high school girls and boys track team and a basketball coach for

ball from one side of the field to the other, picking up points for passing the ball between robots, before making it in the goal.

“There was a lot more trying to coordinate with other teams,” said Ashley Pigott, team lead on acquisition arms. “It wasn’t that each robot was doing its own thing and trying to score as many points as it could.”

Lindbergh made improvements to their robot in the weeks leading up to the event that they said contributed to their success in the finals. The team added a cradle to the shooter to prevent them from losing the ball when they were run into by other robots and modified the shooting mechanism so that it had a range

third- and fourthgraders at a local recreation center.

Viles Josh Viles current students expressed their gratitude for his music instruction via a video presentation. He is a multi-award-winning teacher, who has led Hazen High students for 10 years in treble chorus, guitar, a cappella and concert choir, piano and keyboard and vocal ensemble. Under his direction, Hazen music students have won 15 regional championships and five state championships.

Zakariya Palsha, principal at Campbell Hill Elementary School, was this Zakariya Palsha year’s Outstanding Building Support Person.

Dr. Tammy Campbell, assistant superintendent for learning and teaching; Campbell Hill staff and a parent and student spoke to Palsha’s community inclusive approach to edu-

cation at his school. Palsha has been the principal at Campbell Hill for three years. He was honored for his leadership ability and compassion for children.

Thomas Suttle, district technology facilitator, was recognized as the Outstanding District Support Person.

Suttle Thomas Suttle was hired as the district facilitator in 2012. He had previously worked as a special education teacher at Benson Hill and Sierra Heights elementary schools and also there as the technology instructor. He was noted for his ability to answer technical questions and his approach to providing a teacher’s approach and insights to technology.

“We noticed that our shooting needed to be improved because our arch was too much, to the point we were missing more than we wanted to,” said Devon Simon, drive and project team member.

In the third match of the finals, Lindbergh and Anacortes, the two scoring robots on the alliance, switched roles on the field to take advantage of Anacortes’ ability to quickly acquire the ball and Lindbergh’s ability to shoot on the run because of the way their opponents were defending them, said Randall.

When Lindbergh won, craziness broke out, according to the students.

“All of us were jumping around, hugging each other and then afterward when we got back from Central, our whole team went to Dairy Queen to celebrate,” said Nick Fry, one of two team drivers.

Lindbergh is currently ranked 15th out of 153 teams in the Pacific Northwest District and will be competing next at the 2014 Autodesk Pacific Northwest District Championship in Portland, Ore., April 10-12.

Georgia team visits New Horizon

Renton Rotary

Youth of the Month

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Renton’s New Horizon School hosted an international delegation from Georgia’s Ministry of Education and Science on March 28.

The five delegates, accompanied by two State Department interpreters, were in the country to get a firsthand look at special education programs in the United States. The World Affairs Council of Seattle contacted New Horizon because it’s solely a school for students with learning disabilities, attention deficits and other learning differences, serving fourth through 12th grades.

The visiting group was participating in the State Department’s professional exchange called the International Visitors Leadership program.

The Georgia delegation was to visit public and private schools and institutions in Washington, Mississippi, Wisconsin and were in the District of Columbia prior to visiting Seattle.

While in the state, the group was to also visit Roosevelt High School, the Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center, Seattle University and the University of Washington.

“At NHS, it is our mission to make learning accessible to special needs students and provide them with a personalized learning environment that will prepare them to be contributing members of society and life long learners,” said Marla Veliz, New Horizon administrator. “The Georgian delegates likely have the same or a similar mission for their special education students in their country. Perhaps it is the shared mission and shared passion about special education that makes the discussion so exciting for all of us.”

The group of five women from Georgia toured the schools class-

They asked questions about student assessments and curriculum.

“We liked it very much,” said Mariam Chikobava, head of Georgia’s National Curriculum Division. “The learning areas are so beautiful.”

The tour was focused on inclusive education examples and the country of Georgia is just now developing their special education programs, Chikobava said.

The group also included Georgia’s head of Inclusive Education Development, the deputy head of the National Curriculum Department and members of the Ministry of Education and Science’s multidisciplinary team.

Several years ago, New Horizon hosted a delegation from Syria that was interested in special education as well. The school prides itself on going in-depth on subjects, although they may not cover as much subject matter. Educators take an integrated

approach to curriculum setting academic goals, keeping students engaged and meeting students where they are. Teachers develop curriculum based on students needs and a lot of hands-on projects.

Many of the students at New Horizon are the products of bullying from their previous schools.

“We create an environment of trust and acceptance that is safe, where students are engaged and willing to try new things,” said Veliz. “We provide a structure and routine within the learning environment, we know and understand each of our learners individually, we invite students to talk to us about any difficulties they may be having, and we pay attention to student emotions.”

“Creating this environment allows students to feel safe and feel accepted, which further enhances their opportunity to learn,” she said.

Downtown bank robbed The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

A 26-year-old man, apparently homeless, was apprehended March 22 not far from the Bank of America branch in downtown Renton that had just been robbed of $1,403 in cash.

A bank teller positively identified him as the man who had just handed her a note that read, “I have a gun, please put all your money in the bag, thank you.”

He handed her a plastic bag.

She filled the bag with the cash, along with a GPS tracker. He walked casually from the bank.

He was detained at the intersection of Main Avenue South and South Third Street a short time later. He told officers, “The money’s in my right pocket.”

A crew filming a short movie downtown also captured the man on film walking in the area.

The suspect told an officer he was released from the state correctional facility in Clallam Bay two days earlier.

The man, who was assigned parole office, had cut off his ankle monitor the night before and tossed it into a garbage can in Seattle.

He was booked into the King County Jail in downtown Seattle for felony investigation of armed robbery.

Cash totaling $1,398 was booked into evidence.

Student expelled, yells ‘bang bang’ A 13-year-old student under emergency expulsion from a Renton middle school yelled “bang bang” March 25 when a school security officer yelled out to him in the school hall.

The boy told the officer, using a profanity, that he was at the school to get his belongings. The boy went into an in-progress history class to return his book and dumped a school binder into a trash can.

He then left the school. The day before he was reported as a runaway.

The security officer became concerned about the “bang bang” comment when he learned that a relative had once found guns in the home. No guns were found during a search.

There was concern the boy was using and selling drugs, including PCP and marijuana.

Pizza bill paid, but man still goes to jail A friend paid his $200 bill at a pizza shop at The Landing March 28 so he wouldn’t get jailed for driving off without paying for his pizza.

But the 25-year-old Renton man ended up at the SCORE regional jail anyway after he resisted efforts by a police officer to put handcuffs on him.

An officer had spotted the getaway car, a Mustang, and stopped it on North 10th Place. The officer explained to the driver he looked like the man who didn’t pay for the pizza.

The man’s eyes were bloodshot, his speech was slurred and his breath smelled of alcohol. He told the officer he only had three shots to drink. The officer left to talk with a witness, while a second officer watched over the suspect.

He told a second officer he only had one shot to drink. He kept reaching into dark places around the driver’s seat and fiddling for the keys.

For his own safety, the officer decided to put him in cuffs. But the man tensed and placed his head near the officer’s forehead. The officer locked the cuffs.

But the man tensed again and [ more blotter page 7]

SUV prowled

About $1,200 worth of cash, an iPhone and iPad and other personal belongings were stolen March 25 from a Chevy SUV the driver was sure he had locked for the night.

There was no damage to the SUV, which belonged to the man’s mother-in-law.

The theft occurred on Redmond Place Northeast.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“All of us were jumping around, hugging each other and then afterward when we got back from Central, our whole team went to Dairy Queen to celebrate.“ Lindbergh student Nick Fry on the aftermath of winning robotics competition.

Inslee under pressure to use budget red pen As Gov. Jay Inslee prepares to sign a revised state budget, he’s getting pressed to veto a few of its provisions.

The governor is expected to act Friday on the agreement for state spending through mid-2015 that passed overwhelmingly in the House and by a nearly unanimous 47-1 margin in the Senate.

Since the day after those votes, Inslee has been urged to use his red pen to remove sections dealing with a nuclear energy task force, rescind a cleaning out of funds for life-science research and erase a requirement for more savings at community colleges through Lean management.

Four Democratic lawmakers – Reps. Gerry Pollet and Jessyn Farrell of Seattle, Rep. Cindy Ryu of Shoreline and Sen. Marko Liias of south Everett – want the governor to get rid of Sections 101 and 102 creating a task force to consider the long-term potential of nuclear energy.

They point out lawmakers rejected a bill to do pretty much what the proviso does. They contend any look into the value of nuclear energy should be done by the Climate Legislative and Executive Work Group on which Inslee serves.

“I have concerns about the cost and safety and viability of nuclear energy,” Liias said. Examining only the potential of nuclear energy and not other renewable resources “doesn’t make sense,” he said.

Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, sponsored the legislation that didn’t pass. He said it is “silliness” to ignore the potential of nuclear power as a cleaner source of energy than oil and gas.

He hopes Inslee “understands nuclear is going to play a role in carbon reduction in the future. To ignore it is simply silly.”

There is another factor Inslee must consider, Ericksen said. Inclusion of the task force is one-half of a deal reached in the Senate and embedded in the final budget.

The other half is $300,000 for a study on how oil shipments move through the state. This report is to analyze risks of oil transportation and recommend steps for improving public safety.

Democrats requested this study after they could not get an oil transportation safety bill passed this session. Erickson suggested that if the nuclear energy task force is at-risk of veto, so too should be the study.

A whole slew of people are asking Inslee to intercede to preserve the Life Science Discovery Fund.

Budget writers transferred $20 million into the general fund, effectively emptying it out.

This transfer is why Liias cast the lone dissenting Senate vote on the budget.

He said every dollar invested in life-science research attracts additional dollars in federal grants and private investment. The investments lead to medical discoveries, health care innovation and the launch of new businesses, he said.

“I don’t think we’ll generate the same benefit to taxpayers if we shut down the fund,” he said.

Meanwhile, a provision calling for community colleges to rack up another $10 million in savings through “Lean Management Strategies” is giving presidents a headache.

One college president pointed out in a letter to Inslee that “this additional reduction will now mean we will be providing less tutoring, less technology and fewer wrap around services so vital to student success.”

Council needs to power up

By DAVE KOMENDAT

On Thursday, March 27, I attended a community workshop at Renton Technical College sponsored by Puget Sound Energy to discuss their “Energize-The-Eastside” project.

For the many citizens out there who have not heard about this effort, it’s a project to bring additional power capacity to the Eastside, particularly the communities north of Renton. I don’t question the “why” we have a need for more power to deal with our current and future energy needs, I question the “how” this effort is being managed by PSE. The meeting was touted as an opportunity for local residents who could be significantly impacted by the proposed new power routes to share our concerns. The reality was that it became a PSE game of hide-and-seek.

PSE Communications Vice President Andy Wappler started the meeting with an overview of the power needs for the region.

The case for power is credible, the methods being used to make their decisions are far less so.

A PSE-hired facilitator initially indicated that 10 minutes would be allotted for Q&A before we were broken up into tables by possible route selection. It was immediately apparent that smoke and mirrors instead of honest answers would be what the citizens in attendance at this tightly scripted dog-andpony show would be receiving that evening.

“I don’t have that information; I can’t answer that question; we don’t have the data,” were PSE’s responses to many questions. I commend the elderly gentleman who forced one very important answer from PSE: The City of Renton Building Permitting Office does have the power to NOT issue permits for the proposed new 100-foot high power poles that will carry 230kVs of electricity through neighborhoods that border [ more council page 7 ]

Letter to the editor Hugs go long way in Oso Yesterday, my husband and I delivered some wool socks, work gloves and warm shirts to the volunteers in Oso. It was so incredibly bad; whatever pictures you may have seen aren’t the real thing. The media calls it a mudslide, but I saw for myself that half a small mountain swallowed that sweet little town.

Surprisingly and so thankfully, there were no slimy tourists blocking the road and we easily got into an intact part of Oso (a tiny fire station) to drop off the stuff. But right next to it there was a big tent, which turned out to be a staging area for the volunteers, the ones who go out to the actual slide area again and again. Most of them are locals, most of whom lost friends or family themselves but sorely need to find the missing.

There were at least 150 people in that tent, but the biggest thing I remember was

an eerie, deafening silence. They all looked exhausted, were slumped over and had a blank look on all their faces. So the best I could do was hug a bunch of them. One was a Red Cross volunteer who’s providing grief counseling to family members of the dead and missing. He needed a hug badly himself and told me so.

The death/missing toll is exponentially worse than when St. Helens blew. But I got something positive out of this: enormous pride in small-town America. Those people are this country’s spine, and I’m so very honored to have touched just a few of them yesterday.

If you citizens of Renton have a few spare bucks, write a check to the Red Cross and earmark it for the Oso Fund. Or better yet, drive that check up to Oso and spread some hugs.

The second officer returned to help and spotted a pool of blood forming near the suspect’s head. Medics put a bandage on a wound; he didn’t need stitches.

He was booked into SCORE for investigation of obstructing a law-enforcement officer.

The pizza shop declined to pursue any theft charges after the friend paid the suspect’s bill.

Kent woman left holding stolen car A Kent woman was left sitting in a car blocking traffic March 28 on Northeast Third Street while her new ex-boyfriend walked off with a gas can in hand.

The car started rolling backward toward an officer’s patrol car. The officer told her to step on the brake, put the car in park and press the emergency brake, which she did.

Then the 44-year-old lied about her name and lying could get her arrested.

She gave another name that

I found this interesting because to date, our Renton City Council members have been eerily silent on their position regarding PSE’s proposed project and those that have spoken seem to feel “that there is not much they can do.” We now know that they can do a lot to protect the quality of life for many, many residents of Renton if they chose to make the right decision.

Most of the poles, if installed, would be within 45 feet of existing homes. The narrow swath of trees that act as a sound and visual buffer

But the car, a Monte Carlo, was reported stolen in Auburn; it belonged to another ex-boyfriend. They had met up in Auburn, argued over the new ex-boyfriend, and then she drove off in the man’s car.

She was booked into the SCORE regional jail for felony investigation of possession of stolen property. She told the officer she had permission to drive the Monte Carlo.

The new ex-boyfriend ran off when he saw police cars approaching. He wasn’t found.

today between the southbound 405 and residents would all be removed.

The nesting areas for existing bald eagles and osprey would be gone, the replacement foliage would be shrubbery that could not grow taller that 15 feet. The removal of these trees and other foliage would undoubtedly create an unstable hillside which creates further risk to residents that could be impacted.

PSE has lots of options; however, they have told us that placing the powerlines underground will cost $20 million per mile and that underground placement is deemed cosmetic and therefore becomes the burden of the requesting municipality and

Free tax help available for low-income families United Way of King County is offering free tax preparation at 19 locations in King County through the second week of April. The program is designed to help low- and middle-income families increase their financial security and keep more of what they earn.

In Renton, United Way Free Tax Preparation Site is located at the Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank, 206 S. Tobin St., Renton 98057.

The final day of operations is Tuesday, April 15.

At the sites, United Way will prepare income tax returns with an eye to take full advantage of all the possible

residents to pay those additional costs. $20M a mile? Seem’s like more smoke and mirrors.

Renton City Council members, now is the time for you to stand up and have an opinion on this issue.

Let PSE know that if they want to run lines though Renton, that they need to bury them at their cost. PSE has the money, so don’t let them kid you that they can’t afford it because they can and YOU CAN make it happen.

Time to let us all know where you stand council members; we’re waiting to hear from you!

In addition to preparing federal tax returns, United Way is offering other services at the sites, such as applications for public benefits like food stamps and utility assistance, assistance with FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form completion.

United Way Tax Preparation is free for anyone making under $52,000.

Police arrest Renton shop owner for trafficking stolen goods Renton Police on March 21 arrested a 48-year-old store owner for trafficking stolen property in the first degree.

Acting on a tip from Redmond Police, detectives investigated Maria RamirezPerez, owner of Tienda Latina at 927A Harrington Ave. N.E. for buying and selling stolen property at her business.

The investigation determined that the suspect would “place orders” for items (liquor, meats, personal and household items) to be stolen, then purchase the stolen property from the thief for re-sale.

The owner would then sell the stolen goods for a profit, circumnavigating legal requirements for sales of spirits as well as depriving victim businesses of profiting from rightfully purchased inventory.

“Have you ever heard the saying, ‘If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is?’”

asked Renton Public Information Officer Terri Vickers asked in an email. “Those cheap razor blades and beauty products for sale on auction sites and ‘lists,’ random products offered for sale in parking lots, or unlikely items sold at stores that don’t usually carry that sort of thing are often stolen.

Buying stolen goods doesn’t just cheat the system – it cheats everyone by pushing up product prices, increasing the cost of security and safety packaging, etc.”

Ramirez-Perez was booked into the SCORE regional jail on charges of felony investigation of trafficking stolen property.

A search warrant served at the business recovered known stolen property and cash involved in the illegal transactions.

“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is – so spend your dollars wisely!”

Vickers said.

ing and familiar with the procedure, it started to move very quickly and the city is now averaging 5,000 radio installations per year.

“Our crew is doing a good job,” Gafour said.

According to Gafour the meters have helped the city locate 891 water leaks since the program began in January 2012, including 236 “major leaks,” such as broken pipes, and about 655 minor leaks, like leaking toilets or fixtures, saving homeowners thousands.

“We did not have a way to find a leak unless something really big came up,” Gafour said of leak detection prior to the installation of the radios, often referred to as “smart meters.”

Crews are now able to monitor water usage regularly and the system is set up to notify the city if any meter exceeds its normal daily usage by 30 percent, which would indicate a leak.

For larger issues, the city even makes house calls to notify resident.

“When we notice a big leak we will actually visit the site,” Gafour said.

Along with the leak detection, Gafour said the ability to accurately bill each

customer each month is another positive change from the pre-radio meters.

In the past, water meters were read every two months, so not only would leaks go longer without being noticed, sometimes water bills had to be estimated. Now, actual usage can be charged at the end of each month.

The total budget for the acquisition and deployment of the AMR system is $5 million, with about $2.4 million for the purchase and installation of the system hardware, software, meter radios, fiber optic cables, site work, transmission towers and receivers and about $2.6 million for the purchase of meter bodies, registers, meter boxes and for the city’s operation and maintenance staff to install the radios and other meter upgrades at the 17,500 meters.

Funding for the program comes from the Water Utility Capital Improvement Program budget, and the funds are mostly from revenues from water sales, according to Gafour.

In the end, Gafour expects the system to not only be more convenient for the city and the residents, but also hopes it will reduce city costs in terms of staff and vehicle time, as well as allow the crews to do “more meaningful work” than just read meters.

“The program will pay for itself in time,” he said.

Residents with radios already installed on their meters can also check their upto-date hourly water usage and history through the following website: http://rentonnet.org:8080/WaterUsage/Default.aspx To comment on this story view it online at www.rentonreporter.com. Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050

Automatic meter readers, like the one shown in this file photo, have been installed on more than 10,000 water meters in the city and have detected nearly 900 leaks so far. Brian Beckley, Renton Reporter

Highlander baseball off to hot start, beats Highline

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Hazen Highlanders on Tuesday took home a 6-3 victory over the Highline Pirates in seven innings at Hazen High School.

Senior Zack Hill led the way, going 2-3 with a run and a stolen base. Juniors Jacob Howell and Eli Azcueta also added two hits each.

The Highlanders took a 1-0 lead in the second, but the Pirates rallied for a run of their own in the top of the third. But Hazen responded in the bottom of the inning, picking up five runs on three singles for a 6-1 lead.

Highline threatened in the fourth, picking up two runs of their own, but the Highlanders shut them down from there on out.

Freshman right-hander Drew Santana picked up the win for Highlanders, firing seven strikeouts over six inning. Santana did not allow an earned run and gave up just five hits with no walks.

Santana also helped his own cause, going 2-3 from the plate with a run batted in.

Coming off a Seamount championship season and returning a good group of seniors, the Hazen baseball team is looking for a repeat run this spring.

“The veteran senior hitters and the young pitchers will be the key to our success this season,” said assistant coach Jeff Hagedorn in an email.

This year, the Highlanders will look to seniors J. Crosby, who plays outfield, and Drew Harka, Isaiah Potter, Brooks Jacobs and Zack Hill, who comprise the Highlander [ more Hazen page 15 ] seventh inning to pick up the save.

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetes

PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy.

In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy.

While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only

28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com.

Cinnatrol™ is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-581-1502.

Hazen soccer tops Renton, ties Highline

By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Hazen Highlanders soccer team this week remained undefeated in Seamount league play, picking up a win over Renton on Friday and playing Highline to a draw on Tuesday.

“There is no margin for error in this league. The draw has us looking up at Kennedy. Tyee and Foster drew tonight, so that means we have a big challenge to get points back – and we’re playing Foster Friday,” Coach Ken Matthews said in an email.

Hazen is now 3-1-1 overall and 2-0-1 in the Seamount League.

Highline is yet to score a goal this season, but the Pirate defense handled the Highlanders on Tuesday.

“Give credit to Highline, they played well. They disrupted everything that’s been working for us,” said Matthews.

“There are a couple of places we can’t find any consistency; that’s just killing the continuity of our play. We can’t win games that we don’t move and play at pace.”

On March 28, Hazen soccer jumped out to a 1-0 lead two minutes into the game and rode a strong second half performance to a 4-0 win against crosstown rival Renton. The win gives Hazen a 3-1-0 overall record and a 2-0-0 Seamount standing.

Junior midfielder Jorman Gonzalez got the first goal off an assist from sophomore Reyes Garcia. The score stayed 1-0 at the half.

“I felt like we were doing pretty well in controlling the pace and play in the attacking third of the field. We talked about speeding up the play a little when we started out of the central back,” said Matthews in an email. “Hector (sophomore defender Hector Cervantes) and Kyle (senior defender and captain Kyle Bunnell) adjusted and it was off to the races.”

After the break Hazen, scored three times in a ten minute span to put the game away. Senior mid Luis Puga, sophomore defender Zach Quesnel, and Garcia all scored goals off volleys. Seniors Isaiah Blount and Puga had assists.

“We knew Renton was going to be improved from last year. Micah (Renton Coach McMonagle) is good. He’s got that team playing good soccer,” he said.

Junior keeper Jaime Martinez and sophomore Erik Johannesson shared the shutout.

The Highlanders play Foster today, Friday, at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Superior Court of Washington for King County FIRST SAVINGS BANK NORTHWEST, Plaintiff, vs.

GREGORY D. FISHER, Defendant.

Cause No.: 14-2-03836-4 KNT SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION The State of Washington to the Defendant: YOU ARE HEREBY summoned to appear within 60 days after the date of the first publication of this Summons, to wit: Within sixty days after March 21, 2014, and defend the above entitled action in the above entitled Court, and answer the Complaint of Plaintiff, FIRST SAVINGS BANK NORTHWEST, and serve a copy of your Answer upon the undersigned attorneys for Plaintiff at their office below stated; and in case of your failure so to do, judgment will be rendered against you according to the demand of the Complaint, which has been filed with the Clerk of said Court. The object of the above entitled

action is to collect monies due on a promissory note and to obtain a prejudgment writ of attachment on the real properties legally described in the Complaint attached hereto.

NOTICE: State and federal law provide protections to defendants who are on active duty in the military service, and to their dependents. Dependents of a service member are the service member’s spouse, the service member’s minor child, or an individual for whom the service member provided more than onehalf of the individual’s support for one hundred eighty days immediately preceding an application for relief.

One protection provided is the protection against the entry of a default judgment in certain circumstances. This notice only pertains to a defendant who is a dependent of a member of the national guard or a military reserve component under a call to active service for a period of more than thirty consecutive days. Other defendants in military service also have protections against default judgments not covered by this notice. If you are the dependent of a member of the national guard or a military reserve component under a call to active service for a period of more than thirty consecutive days, you should notify the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s attorneys in writing of your status as such within twenty days of the receipt of this notice. If you fail to do so, then a court or an administrative tribunal may presume that you are not a dependent of an active duty member of the national guard or reserves, and proceed with the entry of an order of default and/or a default j udgment without further proof of your status.Your response to the plaintiff or plaintiff’s attorneys about your status does not constitute an appearance for jurisdictional purposes in any pending litigation nor a waiver of your rights.

DATED this 12th day of March, 2014.
