Mayor’s $486 million budget includes B&O tax, nine jobs BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

50 hours to make a movie? No problem tcompton@rentonreporter.com
T
hirteen teams scouted locations and set up their shots all over Renton this past weekend to take part in the seventh annual Renton FilmFrenzy. For the 50-hour film competition, teams were sent their CurveBalls - or items they must include in their film - at 5 p.m. on Friday and off they went to create their plots. Last year’s winner, Brad Singley, said he and his crew were up until 2 a.m. crafting their storyline. It has to do with a man who keeps thinking people are waving at him, but really it’s the person behind him. That’s all Singley would share with the Renton Reporter. “Everybody’s had that experience where you think someone’s waving at you and you go to wave back and they’re waving at the person behind you,” said Singley. “Our character has, um… maybe I’ll leave it at that.” Singley’s crew had planned to shoot at nine locations on Saturday for their short film. It was their fifth time entering the FilmFrenzy and they moved through their scenes like old pros.

“Our strategy is keeping a tight schedule, so when we get confident we’re doing well with our schedule, you start taking longer each take,” he said. “And then it’s 5 o’clock and we still have to edit and do a lot of the work in post.” Singley planned to used between eight and 10 friends from work, neighbors, church members and people from around the community. “It’s just an expensive hobby that we’ve spent way to much on,” said Steven Heller, star of the film. They’ve all known each other one to five years and seemed very comfortable taking direction from each other. It all starts with them making cardboard cutouts and then figuring out how to do stuff on the fly, said Heller. One of their first shots of the day was the Renton High School nurse’s office. They needed a hospital-type scene and “scored” when they got permission to use that location. “There’s a lot of things like this that have fallen into place,” said Heller. The crew was finished with the nurse’s office and on to their [ more FRENZY page 14 ]

A new business and operations tax is the biggest new addition in Mayor Denis Law’s proposed 2015-2016 biennial budget, announced Monday during the City Council’s Committee of the Whole meeting. The new tax is designed to help the city meet an expected gap between expenditures and revenues that officials said would, if not addressed, affect the service levels provided by the city government. But aside from the new tax and the addition of a handful of new positions at City Hall, the next biennial budget is being characterized as primarily a status quo budget. The proposed city budget for the next two years totals about $486 million, with $230 million going to the general fund, which provides most of the city services, including police and fire.

Weekend backpacks make sure students stay fed Volunteers make sure 245 students have something to eat when not at school BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Frank Billand knows what it’s like to be a hungry child. He grew up in Hawaii in the ‘50s with 11 other family members in his household. “So food kinda sometimes got scarce,” he said. “So I knew what it was to be hungry, although we didn’t starve, but we didn’t eat real healthy.” Fast forward to retirement and Billand finds himself volunteering as a driver for a backpack program to feed hungry students in the Renton School District. It’s run by Communities in Schools of Renton and the Salvation Army. Volunteers find it as rewarding as it is helpful to the community. “It’s a worthwhile program,” said Billand. “A hungry kid doesn’t study, they can’t focus. It’s hard for them to focus with their stomach grinding and bringing in the backpacks kinda gets rid of the stigma, if you know what I mean of not having money.” The backpack program has hooked up 245 students so far this year with meals and snacks packed into a backpack for the weekend every Friday. The backpacks are returned by the students on Monday and the process starts over again. The program is funded entirely through donations and costs about $26,892 for the whole school year. Being entirely dependent on donations is a tenuous situation, especially with the number of students to grow an anticipated 600 students, said Martha Barrett, Salvation Army community liaison. “It’s very scary because we’re dependent on that; we’re depending

on the goodness of the community,” said Barrett. Although she is quick to say that Renton has been very generous so far, the need for food is growing. People are still experiencing a lot of financial crisis, she said. “Because of the way the whole welfare laws are stated that you only have 36 weeks to receive TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families),” said Barrett. “Now families are forced to go back to work. So when you have an income you no longer qualify for a certain
number of food stamps.” That disparity has caused a domino effect, she said, and put a strain on food banks and other food assistance programs. The backpack program is free to the students. “We have volunteers who are dedicated to this, but at the end of the day if we don’t have food to give out, we don’t have anything to give out. We don’t have backpacks,” she said. Linda DeCample and Phyllis Anderson are both retired school teachers who felt motivated to
volunteer their time packing backpacks with food. “So, because for 25 years I was working with kids and loved it, this is a way for me to continue supporting these kids,” said DeCample. She taught at two fairly affluent schools but did recognize students who came to school hungry. DeCample has been volunteering for the program for a year and a half. The people are wonderful, there’s a certain amount of respect and caring at the Salvation Army, she said. “It’s a joy to come down here and work a couple of days,” said DeCample. Anderson considers herself the foreman of the group. She’s usually the one to take charge if something needs to be done, she said laughing. “It’s a fun program to work in and if there’s others out there who would like to get involved in this program, particularly on the day we’re bagging that’s a day we could really use more manpower.” It takes the volunteers about three and half to four hours to bag the food and pack it. For more information on volunteering for this program contact Martha Barrett at 425-255-5969, ext. 205.

New standards for water quality still bring concern about cancer For months, there’s been a drumbeat of panic that new water-quality standards based on how much fish people eat could drive Boeing and other companies out of Washington. The alarm, sounded by voices in the circles of business, labor and Republican lawmakers, is the price of compliance would be too expensive to be worth sticking around. But two state reports issued recently contend the changes won’t make a whit of difference to the bottom line and operations of those firms. And if there’s even a hint of problems, state government would be ready to flex its rules to ensure things work out. Those reports accompanied the Sept. 30 release of the proposed equation Gov. Jay Inslee wants to use to regulate what gets discharged into waterways from paper mills, sewage treatment plants and manufacturing facilities. The most talked about components have been how much fish residents eat and the risk of those folks getting cancer from exposure to chemicals in the water where the fish are caught. Inslee wants to hike the fish consumption rate significantly to 175 grams per day from the current 6.5 grams and vary the cancer-risk rate used on a chemical-by-chemical basis. As part of the rule-making process, the Department of Ecology had to estimate if the changes might force businesses and local governments to shell out a bunch of money on improvements in order to comply. The agency conducted an analysis in which it examined the potential effects on 415 facilities, public and private, operating today with a permit restricting their discharges. And the conclusion was there will be “no impact” and “zero incremental cost” to existing facilities. In other words, if the proposed changes are enacted next year, no one will have to do anything different than they do now. “This meets the clear directive from the governor that we update our clean-water standards to protect the health of all Washingtonians, our environment and our economy,” Ecology Director Maia Bellon said in a statement. “What matters to people, and fish, is not the formula but the outcome – it’s less about the complex formula going into the standard and more about the level of pollution coming out of the pipe,” she said. “And the end result is that most standards are more protective and, with the one exception of naturally occurring arsenic, no standard is less protective than today.” There was little immediate reaction from those who had been worried about the impact on businesses.

Renton Reporter wins state awards The Renton Reporter received five awards this past weekend during the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association Annual Convention, including a second-place General Excellence award, as part of the statewide Washington Better Newspaper Contest. The General Excellence award honors the top three overall newspaper in every circulation class. The Renton Reporter is in the contest’s top circulation class. Judges cited the Renton Reporter’s use of photos and graphics and noted our “strong local coverage” and the way the editorial page dealt with “hot issues.” “We are very proud of the General Excellence award,” said Publisher Ellen Morrison. “This is a testament to the great reporting done every week by our reporters, Tracey Compton and Dean Radford and our editor Brian Beckley.” “We work very hard to provide the best coverage we can about a wide mix of issues and events throughout Renton and it is nice to be recognized for those efforts,” said Beckley.
In addition to the General Excellence award, Beckley received a first-place award for “Best General Feature Story, Long” for his “Firefighter for a Day” piece, a first-person account of a day’s worth of firefighter training called “gripping and informative” and “top-notch reporting” by judges. Beckley also received a second-place award in the “Best Government Reporting” category for his piece “County’s purchase of mobile home community means moving day is coming,” about residents at the Riverbend Mobile Home Park. Judges cited Beckley’s followthrough to get the personal stories of those affected. The Renton Reporter also received a firstplace award in the “Special Events/Festivals Special Sections” category for the Seattle International Film Festival Renton guide and a third-place award in the “Best Tourism/Community Guide Special Section” category for our 2014 Residents Guide, produced by the staff and graphics artist Kae Lamberton.

That wasn’t the case with tribal leaders and environmentalists who continue to press the governor to not allow use of a lower cancer-risk rate. “Asking Washingtonians to assume a higher level of cancer risk is not an acceptable tradeoff,” reads a statement issued by the Washington Environmental Council. The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, which represents 20 western Washington tribes, criticized the approach in a letter to Inslee last month. The governor has yet to respond. “That’s just not acceptable for our tribe, for any tribe in the state or anybody who eats a lot
of salmon,” Jim Peters, a member of the Squaxin Island Tribal Council told the Associated Press. “They really don’t understand that impact to our people.” The Department of Ecology will formally launch the rule-making process in January and hold public hearings on the proposal. That will give all the voices a chance to be heard.

County Council passes living wage ordinance a wage of at least $15 an hour. “Overcoming the growing inequality in our region requires a comprehensive approach including access to health care, education, job training, transportation, and more,” said Executive Constantine. “Ensuring that those doing business with the County provide their employees a living wage is a critical part of that approach.” The ordinance goes a step further by requiring that not only all county employees, but the employees of contractors who provide services through contracts of $100,000 or more to the County to be paid a living wage. The ordinance sets compensation levels and phase-in periods for large and small employers and takes into account whether the employer offers health benefits, similar to the new Seattle minimum wage law. “Working people across King County have been left behind by employers that fail to keep the promise that a day’s work will lead to success,” said SEIU Healthcare 775NW Presi-
recovery must benefit all working Americans – not just the fortunate and wealthy. Income inequality is one of the great unattended issues of our time, and our action today begins to address this pressing matter,” said Larry Phillips, Council Chair. “The ordinance ensures King County contractually supports businesses providing a base wage that allows a working family in King County to pay its bills. Our society is stronger when everyone is enabled to work hard and be compensated fairly so they can pay their way. “Today’s vote reaffirms the Council’s commitment to equity and social justice,” said Councilmember Larry Gossett. “This Living Wage Ordinance is a positive step toward providing the marginalized members of our community including the working poor an escape from the vicious cycle of poverty.” King County Executive Dow Constantine continues to be committed to providing those working for the county a living wage. Since July of this year, all County—with very limited exceptions, such as some County internships—are receiving

This is a sure way to create jobs,” said Gerald Hankerson, Director of Main Street Alliance of Washington, an organization working to give small businesses a voice that promotes vibrant businesses and healthy communities. “Living wages are a form of economic stimulus, in a time when struggling families desperately need a stronger economy. Small business owners know living wages are good for business.”
dent David Rolf. “When government lifts wages to a living wage, everyone benefits. Workers are able to feed their families, pay rent and save; and local businesses make more because the workers have money to spend. That’s why SEIU members across the state and around the country are supporting these kinds of living wage efforts and we applaud Councilmember Dembowski for his leadership in passing this legislation.” “From the Roosevelt years forward, history has shown that sometimes government must take a bold step and “do the right thing” to strengthen the economy and promote equity and social justice, said Dustin Frederick, Business Manager for the Public Safety Employees Union Local 519. “Extending the “living wage” philosophy to the private sector is a testament to the elected leadership of King County and their commitment to judiciously utilize the tools of government to bring some measure of prosperity to everyone, not just public employees over whom they have direct

At the beginning of this year, the Metropolitan King County Council started exploring steps toward developing living wage guidelines within the County. On Monday, the Council gave its approval to legislation establishing the County’s first-ever living wage policy, covering County employees as well as businesses, non-profits, and other entities that do business with the County. “We must clear away the hurdles between our residents and the promise of America, and a good-paying job is the best means to that end,” Councilmember Rod Dembowski, prime sponsor of the ordinance, said in a press release. “This living wage policy will help many residents rise out of the ranks of the working poor and cross the threshold of the American Dream.” Though the ordinance does not provide a definition of “living wage,” it cites a 2012 study that said a living wage for single adult living in King County was $17.55 per hour. The ordinance also sets the county’s minimum wage as the same as passed in Seattle, or $15 per hour. “Our nation’s economic

We’ve all seen the news stories lately, the ones where parents thought their child had a cold and the next thing they know, their child is having trouble breathing and requires hospitalization. Enterovirus D68 is the culprit, part of the family of viruses that includes the common cold. Enteroviruses are common as kids head back to school, with an estimated 10 million to 15 million people infected each year. This particular type of enterovirus appears to be causing more severe cases than in the past and can be troublesome for children with asthma. How do you get EV-D68 and what are the symptoms? The virus is typically transmitted through close contact with an infected person, or by touching objects or surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching the mouth, nose or eyes. Illness associated with the EV-D68 infection typically lasts about a week. Children may have severe cold symptoms with runny nose, sneezing and cough. But the illness can escalate quickly in some cases and cause difficulty breathing or wheezing. While it is easy to panic when watching the news or reading the newspaper about children hospitalized with enterovirus, it is important to remember most children will not get dangerously ill from this virus. Is my child with asthma at greater risk?
Yes, if your child has asthma, he or she is at higher risk of having respiratory complications from EV-D68. If you do not already have an asthma action plan, consider seeing your provider to develop one before your child becomes sick. Your provider can help ensure asthma is optimally controlled before cold and flu season hit full force! While there is not a vaccine or medication for enterovirus, remember you can protect yourself and your children from the flu. Flu vaccines are now available at your primary care provider’s office. Remember, anyone with difficulty breathing or who appears seriously ill should see a healthcare provider right away. How can I avoid infection, or complications from EV-D68? These five simple tips people that can help people avoid infection or complications: 1. Everyone should wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds on a regular basis, especially after touching diapers. 2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. 3. Avoid kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick. 4. Stay home from work, daycare or school if you are sick. 5. Children and adults with asthma need to take their medication as prescribed, have an asthma control plan with their healthcare provider and contact their healthcare provider if symptoms worsen even after taking medication.

Man who fell from car dies BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The 24-year-old Renton man hanging from a moving car Sept. 30 died the next day from the critical injuries he suffered when he was ejected from the vehicle, according to the Renton Police Department. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death of Nelson L. Yarbrough an accident from blunt force trauma to his head. The driver of the Nissan Xterra, a 22-year-old woman, was cited with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The couple was about
two blocks from Yarbrough’s apartment. The driver told officers he was playing around. He took off his seatbelt and sat on his open window, accord-
ing to the police report. The driver told officers she got startled and hit her breaks. Yarbrough fell from the car.

There are a few new funding proposals, however, including increased staffing in the Community and Economic Development department to keep pace with an increase in permit activity. In total, nine new positions were added to the next budget. According to the mayor’s presentation, one is a limited-term position, two will be funded through utilities and six through the general fund. “A number of these positions, especially in Community and Economic Development are funded through the dramatic increase in permit activity and fees,” Law said. In addition, two full-time

school resource officers are being added to the police department’s ranks, partially funded by the Renton School District, to ensure an officer is on the beat at all three Renton high schools. Along with the handful of new jobs, there’s an additional $48,000 for Human Services. According to Law, the city was only able to fund about half of the requests received in the last budget cycle and this additional funding should allow them to “meet the financial needs of a number of smaller requests and help these agencies continue to meet some of the critical needs in the community.” In addition, the new budget also addresses a few maintenance and capital improvement projects that the city has put off during the recession, but the mayor said can no longer wait, including repairing pillars and float structures that help stabilize the banks at Coulon Park and updating some of the city’s irrigation system. The next step in the process will be presentations to the Committee of the Whole from each city department explaining their budget requests, as well as

A couple of the new booths include Chess4Life, a giant-sized chess board, and Usborne Books. Chess4Life teaches life lessons while players navigate a huge chess board. Usborne Books, Scheuerman describes as an “awesome book company” akin to Scholastic Books. There will be lots of crafts by local artists, jewelry, gloves, scarves, wine bags, purses, seasonal pieces, leather goods and more. Pretty much all the same vendors and activities are planned for the Fall Harvest Festival this year. “I’m hoping it will be exactly the same: successful, good weather - fun festivities for everyone,” said Scheuerman.

Renton Civic’s Rocky Horror Show runs next week through Halloween
The Renton Civic Theatre presents The Rocky Horror Show, directed by Alan Wilkie, opening Oct. 17 and running through Nov. 1. The show is a humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B-movies of the late 1940s through the early 1970s. The musical tells the tale of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist unveiling his new creation, a muscle man named Rocky Horror. The musical has since developed a cult following and was also adapted into the 1975 film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” This show is rated PG-13 for strong language and content. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for students $ and seniors. For a complete list of showtimes or to buy Simple Cremation tickets, visit www.renton$ civictheatre.com Direct Burial

The new budget represents an increase of 6.2 percent in overall spending, though that number is artificially low due to several large projects funded primarily though grants. Without the capital projects, the increase is more like 12.4 percent, but the city again said that number is deceptive because a new contract was negotiated during the current budget. “As in past years, the budget I present here today mixes aspiration with reality, hope with hard truth and inspiration despite fiscal challenges,” Law said during his remarks to the council. The biggest ticket item in the new budget is the B&O tax, which the city has been discussing with local businesses and the council for much of this year. Under the budget proposal, the new tax would be at a rate of 0.05 for all retail receipts above $1.5 million in revenue and 0.085 on non-retail business activities. The city estimates the new tax will bring in $5.4 million when fully implemented. As a positive on the revenue

Five takeaways from Monday’s Hawks win at Washington BY THE EVERETT HERALD STAFF
If there is such a thing as an ugly double-digit victory on the road in the NFL, then surely the Seahawks’ 27-17 victory in Washington on Monday was it. Sure the Seahawks improved to 3-1, and yes they won by 10 points, but if not for a bunch of offensive penalties—three of which took touchdowns off the scoreboard—as well as a couple of big plays given up by a usually stingy secondary, this one could have been a laugher. “Well, this was an interesting game tonight,” was how Pete Carroll appropriately opened his press conference. In the end, however, the Seahawks still improved to 3-1, putting them in a first-place tie with Arizona in the NFC West. As Russell Wilson put it on ESPN’s postgame show, “We could have played a lot better, but at the end of the day, a win’s a win. We’re pumped up in that locker room.” Here are five takeaways from the game: 1. Russell Wilson was a magician (again) Somewhere, someone will inevitably point to Russell Wilson’s 201 passing yards and use it as evidence to call him a game manager, and somewhere, that someone will be wrong. Wilson’s passing numbers—18 for 24, 201 yards, 2 touchdowns, 0 interceptions and a 127.3 passer rating—are awfully impressive, but they don’t begin to tell the story of this game. With Washington’s defense inexplicably either not respecting his running ability, or just

completely helpless to stop it, Wilson rushed for a careerhigh 122 yards and a touchdown, and helped ice the game with an insane escape act followed by a flip to Marshawn Lynch that went for a 30-yard gain. “Russell just had a phenomenal game tonight,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told reporters after the game. “He was everywhere and did everything we could have asked running and throwing and scrambling and making things happen. He did a fantastic job.” 2. Penalties were a big issue Sure Jeff Triplette’s crew made a few shaky calls, but you can’t blame all 13 of those penalties for 90 yards on the officials… OK, you can, but you’d be wrong. As aggressive as Pete Carroll wants his teams to be, he can live with some penalties, but when false starts are consistently killing drives before they start, or when holds that don’t really affect the play are wiping out touchdowns, or when neutral zone infractions keep giving a struggling offense first-and-5, those are plays that can come back to haunt a team in a more competitive game. “Those are things we can clean up, and we obviously didn’t come out of the bye well in that regard,” Carroll said. “… Those are things where here’s so much in our control. We can fix that.”

DOWN.
3. Percy Harvin had the most impressive 34-yard game you’ll ever see The final stats for Percy Harvin show four catches for 27 yards, one run for seven yards and no kickoff returns, pretty quiet numbers for an offense’s most explosive player. What those numbers don’t show were three very impressive touchdowns, all of which were wiped out by penalties. By the time Harvin had a third score nullified, a 41-yard catch, he could only throw his hands in the air and laugh. “First one, I was cool with, I was like, OK,” Harvin told reporters in the locker room. “Then the second one happened, and I was like, wow. Then the third one happened, I just flipped my hands down. I couldn’t believe it. But at the same time, penalties are part of football…I try not to think about it too much; we got the W.” In addition to having his usual effect on the defense without touching the ball, Harvin also helped Seattle’s field position because Washington refused to kick the ball deep. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game like Percy had,” Carroll said. “That would have been a phenomenal game—it was—unfortunately the touchdowns got called back, but he was extraordinary. He impacted so much of this game… He had a big factor in this game even though he isn’t going to get the numbers to show for it. 4. Seattle’s defense needs to clean up the big plays For the second game in a row, Carroll was talking after the game about a defense that mostly played well except for a few big plays, and that’s true—Seattle’s defense was [ more TAKEAWAYS page 11 ]

mostly very good—but if a couple of big passing plays per game is going to become the norm, it’s going to cost the Seahawks a game at some point. After Denver beat Seattle for two big plays on an 80-yard, game-tying drive two weeks ago, this time it was DeSean Jackson twice getting behind the secondary for gains of 60 and 57 yards. Now, let’s give credit where credit is due, Jackson is one of the game’s fastest receivers, and Kirk Cousins made perfect throws on both of those plays, but even so, it’s shocking to see two weeks in a row against a defense that has been so good at taking away big plays in recent years. “Just a phenomenal throw and catch by those guys,” is how Carroll described the 57-yarder that set up a field goal. “That was just an awesome play. Our guys were all over it, but it was a better play by them.” Seattle was not, however, all over Jackson’s 60-yard touchdown, but safety Earl Thomas says he and his teammates will clean up those mistakes. “We let two explosive plays get behinds us, and that let them stay in the game,” Thomas told reporters. “But we’ll learn from it. We do a good job of correcting mistakes… If they were going to beat us deep, we knew it was going to be No. 11 (Jackson), and he did a great job.” 5. Does the P in MVP stand for punter? For the second straight game, Carroll was throwing the phrase MVP around when talking about the play of punter Jon Ryan. Ryan, who was named the NFC’s special teams player of the month for September, opened October with another spectacular game that helped Seattle stay ahead while the offense was sputtering. Five of Ryan’s six punts were downed inside the 20, including one that Jermaine Kearse was able to casually usher out of bounds at the 1-yard line. And as an added bonus, Ryan gained five yards on a fake field goal, keeping alive a drive that would end with a Marshawn Lynch touchdown catch that gave Seattle some much needed breathing room.

Monday Night Report Card: Grading the Hawks BY JOHN BOYLE jboyle@heraldnet.com
T
he grades from the Seahawks’ 27-17 win over Washington on Monday night:
Offense: C This was a very strange game to judge. On one hand, 27 points on the road, regardless of the opponent, is a very respectable number, and Russell Wilson was efficient with his arm and ridiculous as a runner, rushing for a career-high 122 yards. But mistakes by the offense, most notably penalties that negated three Percy Harvin scores, as well as a few uncharacteristic drops, were the only reason this game wasn’t a blowout by halftime. Given the pressure on Russell Wilson and the lack of power running plays, it’s safe to say the Seahawks missed tight end Zach Miller (ankle injury).
Defense BAnother mixed-bag performance. The Seahawks held Washington to just 32 rushing yards, and were dominant for much of the first half. But, and this is a big but, a secondary that is usually so good at minimizing big plays allowed several of them, most notably a 60-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson as well as a 57-yarder to Jackson that set up a field goal. That final Washington touchdown drive, which featured a couple of long catch-and-runs by running back Roy Helu, also came awfully easy for a defense that usually doesn’t let those kind of quick
drives happen. The Seahawks also failed to force a turnover against a quarterback who threw four interceptions last week, and dropped a least a pair of early interceptions that could have turned the game into a blowout.
Special teams: A Once again, Jon Ryan was arguably the team’s most valuable player, which isn’t necessarily a good thing (OK, Russell Wilson was actually the MVP). It’s not that Ryan playing well is a bad thing, but there’s a reason a lot of players on the field are paid a lot more than the punter. Regardless, Ryan had five of his six punts downed inside the 20 and also rushed for a first down on a fake field goal, setting up a late touchdown. Washington refused to kick off to Percy Harvin, so he wasn’t a factor in the return game, though the threat of him helped Seattle’s field position, and Bryan Walters had a couple of nice punt returns.
Coaching: BSome of the play-calling might have seemed unusual, but Marshawn Lynch was dealing with a stiff back, and Zach Miller was out, so it’s hard to know for sure if the Seahawks were able to call everything they wanted offensively. It looked like Washington beat Seattle deep with route concepts similar to those used by Denver on its final scoring drive two weeks ago, which obviously isn’t ideal two games in a row. Double-digit penalties (13 for 90 yards) never reflects well on coaching, but on the plus side, that fake punt that set up a much-needed insurance score was a gutsy and successful call.

Move tender potted plants up close to the house - under the eaves. You can easily overwinter many succulents and tender plants that have gray or silver foliage such as licorice plants, lavender and dusty miller by keeping them away from heavy rains and in potting soil that drains quickly. This is the reason why your neighbor with a container garden on a covered porch or patio claims her Dusty Miller has lived for years in the same pot while the same plant in your garden must be replaced every spring. Winter Warning: Very tender succulents such as echeverias must be moved indoors to survive the winter. Keeping them dry under the eaves of the house is not enough protection from the freezing nights ahead. Store fuchsia baskets and geraniums in a garage or shed. Miracles do happen and after a mild winter your hanging fuchsia basket or pot-
ted geranium might just make a Lazarus move and surprise you with their resurrection in the spring. You can dramatically increase the odds that these plants will be with you next summer by cutting them back by one half now and moving the plants to a cold but not freezing garage or shed. Let the soil dry out to encourage winter dormancy and add a little water only on the major holidays – a little drink to toast Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and St. Pat’s. Once Easter arrives you can repot these survivors and bring them indoors to a bright window. In May these bonus plants can be moved back outdoors and you’ll have a second summer of blooming beauty. Full disclosure here: Overwintering geraniums, tender hibiscus, hanging fuchsias and other patio plants can be a bit messy. You must also be willing to put up with these plants inside your home in the month of April when they are just waking up and still in the ugly stage. When you overwinter plants in a garage, basement or shed they are also likely to suffer leaf blights and mite infestations. Finally, overwintered plants won’t finally flower and start looking great until midsummer or even August. If you don’t have a greenhouse and don’t enjoy a challenge, just uproot these tender plants now, add them to the compost pile and enjoy buying professionally grown and perfectly beautiful new plants in the spring.

wet winter weather that rots these tender bulbs more often than the cold that freezes them to death. A covering of oil cloth, plastic or even a pile of water-repelling sword fern fronds placed on top of the soil will give tender dahlias, cannas and even bananas a chance to survive winter. First cut back the stems to just above soil level. Spread the water barrier on top and add a wood mulch or stones to keep it in place. Remove the covering in late spring and see what pops up.

That’s my corner, no it’s mine The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department incident reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The corner of Hardie Avenue Southwest and Southwest Sunset Boulevard apparently is worth fighting for. A 46-year-old Renton man has staked out that corner to panhandle. He asked one of his friends to go with him to confront a 57-year-old Renton man who took over his spot early evening on Sept. 22. Because he walks with a cane, he arrived after his friend, who told the interloper to leave. The 57-year-old felt threatened, so he swung a milk crate at the two men, cutting his own finger. The 46-year-old was cut on the finger but didn’t retaliate. He denied using his cane to hit the man with the crate. An officer caught up with the friend, who had walked away and was drunk. It was unclear who was the primary aggressor, so no one was arrested. However, this is the second time in two months an officer has been called to a dispute over who can panhandle at that corner. The 46-year-old told the officer there’s a street code of conduct about who works which corner. The officer isn’t going to follow that code. Officers also noticed several signs next to the milk crate listing beverages and prices. The crate had a bag of ice and several small cans. The 57-year-old was cited for peddling without a license. SWORD ASSAULT: A 28-year-old Renton man was arrested early Sept. 30 after he thrust a samurai sword through his bedroom door his roommate was standing behind The two were arguing when the suspect went into his bedroom. The suspect punched a hole in the door and then thrust the sword out the door, stopping about five inches from the victim’s pelvic area. The victim jumped back and wasn’t stabbed. “That could have killed me,” he told the roommate. The suspect was still in his bedroom when officers arrived. He surrendered. He refused treatment for superficial cuts to his hand and arm. He was booked into the King County Jail for seconddegree domestic assault for intentionally forcing the sword through the door in an attempt to stab the victim. WINDOWS BROKEN: A Seattle man rammed a no-parking sign multiple times against the windows of a child-care center on Logan Avenue South near the Renton Transit Center Sept. 30, before walking off to sit on a bench. He broke two windows; the maintenance manager for the condominium complex where the day-care is housed told officers the company has had to replace the door and windows before, at a cost of about $6,600. The 34-year-old suspect was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of first-degree malicious mischief. HOME BURGLARIES: Two young teenagers were somehow involved in the burglary of their homes, including the theft of a gun safe and gun, but the thefts were soon discovered.

One of the teens, who are friends, was angry because he had been kicked out of the house and had asked someone else to burglarize his house. One of the burglaries occurred on Sept. 26, when the gun safe, gun, laptop, three tablet computers and a 60-inch TV were stolen. The other home was burglarized twice, including the theft of a rifle. The teens’ parents are also acquainted and soon discovered stolen items in their sons’ bedrooms. One bedroom
had the gun, gun safe and 60-inch TV. Because all the stolen items were eventually returned, no one wanted to press charges. The teens are 14 and 15. OFFICER SECURES WINDOW: A window was broken out Sept. 26 on a home’s bathroom on Southeast 161st Street, possibly by a man seen jumping fences in the neighborhood. The resident discovered the broken window and a piece of cement after returning home. Nothing was stolen but she was certain he got into the house. Another resident took a video of the suspect on a cell phone. An officer replaced the bulbs on a motion-sensor light and secured the window with plywood.

Teacher’s book designed to help post preschool parents BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Nelsen Middle School Vice Principal Dr. Elaine Love doesn’t want technology to become the surrogate parent of today’s child. In her new book, “Parenting Yesterday, Parenting Today: Is Technology our New Surrogate Parent? A Psychological Perspective of a Culturally Diverse Society,” she gives parents a toolbox of ideas and concepts to ponder to avoid such a predicament. “There are excellent materials available to prepare parents from zero to birth, age one, the terrible twos, and maybe a few more years, but what happens when the children enter pre-school,” writes Love in her book. Love encourages parents to keep reading starting with “Parenting Yesterday, Parenting Today.” In it, she outlines different parenting styles and asks the reader to reflect on how they were raised and was it effective. She offers her own insight with stories about her upbringing in New York City and Florida as a mixed child, with Hispanic and black heritage. She takes the reader on a reflective journey with her as she asks pointed questions and provides space for the reader to journal throughout the book. “It just kind of seems like we’re losing time where we sit at the table with our kids; we talk about how our day was,” Love said. “If we’re sitting at the table with our kids they’re usually texting and talking instead of that family time.” She addresses diverse families and uses an exercise to create a poem as a tool for parents to help their children embrace their cultural background, adapted from George Ella Lyon exercise. Love creates her own “Where I Am From” poem as an example: “I am from a culture that by age nine, I would catch the subway or city bus alone to get to and from school.” Building self-confidence and identity, she offers advice on how mixed families can celebrate their heritage. Touching on tragedy that befell her own parents, Love explores what it’s like to be a single parent and gets parents to think about resources they might need to aid them in child rearing. “What I see now with our kids too, a lot of kids are

Dr. Elaine Love will sign copies of her book this weekend at Southcenter Barnes and Noble. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter dealing with tragedy,” Love said. “Sometimes you see kids in foster care, well why are they in foster care? You know, and those are the things we need to look at. Basically, I’m saying we all go from tragedy, but in the end what do we do to recoup from it.” It’s a concise read, with short chapters and plenty of space for journaling and
reflection. “I’m hoping that this will bring more family time back into family and also give parents other ideas as to what they can do to help their kids throughout their school years,” said Love. The author will be signing her book Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., at Barnes & Noble Southcenter.
next location on time. It’s quite a different pace from traditional film work, according to extra Dylan Paschke. “This is nice because you actually get a product at the end,” he said. “In regular film work there seems to be a lot of negotiations and meetings and nothing ever happens. So this is pretty fun.” Singley is a graphic designer; Heller makes phone accessories for a living. Paschke went to film school in London and helped with Singley’s production as an extra and with the lighting. “I’ve had a lot of important meetings, but I haven’t made it to the stage where something gets the green light,” Paschke said. “This is more satisfying than that.” On Sunday, 12 teams made the deadline to turn in their films; eight in the open category and four in student. This past week the films were sent to the judges, who will converse in a conference call this coming week to decide on the winners. Hollywood judges have been selected for this year’s FilmFrenzy. Theo Dumont,
co-founder, co-director of HollyShorts Film Festival and Dumont Marketing; Glen Reynolds, of Circus Road Films; Daniel Sol, co-founder of HollyShorts Film Festival and Aaron Wolf, of Howling Wolf Productions are all participating. The public is invited to a free screening of all 12 films at 7 p.m., on Oct. 18, at the IKEA Performing Arts Center. This Friday and Saturday, Oct. 10 and 11, is the BestFest. On Friday winning films from Crash Cinema competitions around the state will be screened from 7 to 10 p.m. at Renton’s Carco Theatre. Directors have been invited and it’s free and open to the public. On Saturday, all the best multicultural films from festivals around the state will be screened from 7 to 10 p.m., Carco Theatre. Directors have also been invited to the event, which is also free and open to the public.

Foster runs over Renton 31-10
October 10, 2014 [15]
BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The Renton High School Indians lost 31-10 to the Foster Bulldogs Friday night (Oct. 3) in a game between the 2A schools that would help determine who moves on to the playoffs. The first quarter was filled with penalties by both teams. Renton’s first score came near the end of the third quarter when the Indians had to settle for a field goal after battling down to near the Bulldogs’ goal line. In the fourth quarter, the Renton quarterback Elijah Clayton threw a long pass to senior wide receiver Josiah Stroy, who outran the Bulldogs into the end zone for the touchdown, making the score 24-10. The Indians had another chance to score late in the fourth quarter, but Bulldog defender Isaiah Ferrer picked off a pass in the endzone. Senior Kaisa Faletogo harried the Bulldogs’ offense throughout the game, including intercepting a pass in the third quarter. Renton next plays Hazen at 7 p.m. Friday (Oct. 10) at Renton Memorial Stadium. Renton’s league record is 1-2, and overall it’s 3-2.

425-312-5489 NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Hazen falls to Cascade Christian BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
The Hazen football team ran into a buzzsaw Friday night as the Cascade Christian Cougars rolled into Renton Memorial Stadium and showed why they are currently ranked 26th in the state, beating the Highlanders 42-7. It was the third loss of the year for Hazen, who drop to 2-3 overall but 2-0 in the Seamount League. The Highlanders started with an onside kick they almost recovered, but the game went downhill from there. Cascade Christian scored on their second play of the game and never looked back, finishing the first quarter with a 28-0 lead. By halftime Hazen was down 42-0. Cascade Christian’s defense led by Mason Tobeck and Damon Davis stifled Highlanders offense. They each had several big hits on WRs in the passing game to go with allowing fewer than 25 yards rushing. Hazen played a spirited second half. According to Coach David Kilpatrick-White, they managed a shutout on defense led by Parker Trewet’s consistent enthusiasm and energy and newcomer Fesili Wynn who “continued to play and hit hard.” Kaleb Magee scored a touchdown on Hazen’s second drive of the half, but it was called back because the fake beat the officials along with the defense, according to the coach. They managed another score in the fourth quarter on a pass from Nolan Hoover to Justin Anderson. Khalil Ali was also a fun new addition to Hazen run offense when he was given a crease. “We knew this game was going to be a challenge coming in, we have maybe the toughest non-conference schedule in the league. These games provide opportunities for us to test ourselves,” Kilpatrick-White said. We haven’t gotten the results we want, but it is teaching us to work harder and smarter.” The Highlanders visit their cross-town rivals Renton at 7 p.m. Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

The first team of Sonlam Nguyen and Justin Nguyen dropped their match to Marek Pierpiekarz 1-6, 5-7 and the third doubles pairing of Alex Kang and Jordan Fu fell 4-6, 206 6o Liberty’s Cody Hughes and Ethan Le.
