Several fees and charges will be going up throughout the city as part of next year’s budget, though most of the increase that will affect residents are minor.

The City Council this week heard from the Planning, Administrative Services, Community Services, Fire Department, courts and City Attorney as part of the budget review process for the 2015-16 biennium.

The largest increases in the next biennial budget come in the way of impact fees, as the city continues to implement a phased-in plan to bring impact fees up to the average of nine surrounding cities. [ more BUDGET page 16 ]

DISTRICT HOSTS PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPERTY SALES

The Renton School District will hold two public hearings on plans to sell two pieces of undeveloped, district-owned land near Hazelwood and Tiffany Park elementary schools.

The public hearings are being held because of a procedural error, wrote Randy Matheson, district spokesperson in an email. There were previous hearings on the sale of the property, but for one of the hearing the district did not place a notice in the local paper as per procedure in the prescribed timeline.

The separate hearings are the two separate parcels of land will be back to back starting at 7 p.m. on Oct. 29.

“These supplemental hearings will ensure compliance with state law as the district proceeds with the sale of these properties,” wrote Matheson.

Renton Schools bus driver helps save injured man Laurie Henrickson credits her district training for knowing what to do in emergency

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The heroics of Renton school bus driver Laurie Henrickson were tested recently, when she helped an injured man during one of her regular routes to pick up kids.

“I was coming around this embankment when I saw this elderly gentleman laying on the ground and he was bleeding,” said Henrickson.

She’s only been with the district for four months as a substitute driver and did not have any children on the bus at the time of the encounter. Usually her days have been spent learning her routes, looking up directions and getting lost.

But as soon as she saw the man, she put on her “By the time I was getting on the bus, hazard lights, radioed dispatch and told them to call all the emergency crews were coming 911. Henrickson jumped around the corner to off the bus and asked the help the guy.” Laurie man if he was OK and what happened.

Henrickson “I was trying to get him in the upright position so his cut was above his heart because he was bleeding pretty bad,” she said.

Henrickson also flagged a neighbor to call the police and got another person to help her move the man inside his house. The elderly man was to heavy for her to lift on her own.

Apparently, the man was going outside to get his newspaper, when he bent over and his cane gave out and he smacked his head on the ground.

“By the time I was getting on the bus all the emergency crews were coming around the corner to help the guy,” she said.

Although Henrickson said she normally

Bus driver Laurie Henrickson poses with Helen Shindell-Butler, assistant director of transportation, after a job well done on a recent route in North Renton. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter responds well to emergency situations, she credits the emergency and first aid training she received in the district, especially from instructor Chuck DeSmith, for preparing her for this emergency.

“The training that the school district in Renton that they put you through, like the CPR and first aid, it was one of the best first aid and CPR classes I’ve ever had,” she said. “They train you and prepare you and the people who have worked here for a long time - it’s all influential when you get out there and a situation happens. You’re prepared. It just helps.”

Henrickson said all the Renton bus drivers have seen a lot of situations and having heard some of their stories helped her be prepared as well.

“I think what Laurie did is very impressive being is that she is a brand new driver, freshly trained from our training program, freshly trained from first aid,” said Helen ShindellButler.

Shindell-Butler is the assistant director of transportation for the Renton School District.

All the district’s drivers are well prepared for a variety of situations, she said.

“They keep their kids in tune and are always on the watch,” she said. “They basically are the eyes of the district.”

Even though Jennifer Westby’s mom died in 2009, she can still remember what she looked like, sounded like and how she laughed.

Her memories are vivid because of the legacy career that sprouted from the tragedy of her mother’s death.

Roberta, Jennifer’s mom, had a brain hemorrhage and died six days later at Valley Medical Center. That same year, turning grief into something positive, Jennifer wrote a book, “Six Days of Kindness, Grieving with Love and Purpose,” inspired by her mother’s kindness and the kindness she received from the community and Valley Medical when her mother passed.

Now, Jennifer wants to donate $60,000 to Valley Medical Center from her future book sales to return that kindness. Valley wrote off Roberta’s medical expenses as she didn’t have any medical insurance at the time of her death.

Friends, family and hos-

pital staff showed kindness and thoughtful support for Jennifer and her two brothers, Kyle and Ryan, and sister Valerie during their ordeal.

“So the book is now going back to the kindness that was started by my mom’s legacy and at the hospital and giving back to the hospital that was so kind to my mom,” said Jennifer.

Roberta was known for her acts of kindness. She would often do little things like pay for people’s coffee in front of her or behind her in line at coffee shops.

On the website for her book, Jennifer describes her mother as hilarious, strong and positive.

“She was the type of person who could be in Hallmark, down the card aisle just dying of laughter because she was having so much fun,” said Jennifer.

Taking from her mom’s acts of kindness, Jennifer’s book centers on performing acts of kindness every month for six days, between Oct. 19 and 24. For her

first act of kindness, she bought a man’s coffee at the Lakewood Jennifer Westby Forza, following the incident there where four police officers were killed.

Jennifer wasn’t sure if she should go to the coffee shop at the time, but was reassured by the 911 operator, who took the barista’s call that day. The operator posted on Jennifer’s Facebook fan page when Jennifer asked for a sign as to whether or not she should go. Her other acts of kindness have included making cash donations to various causes and giving people money for groceries.

Jennifer, who used to suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, said she’s learned a lot through grief she wants to pass on to others.

“It made me realize how much I wanted to do something to make an impact in my mom’s honor, but also to show my kids and keep my mom in our lives,” she said.

Jennifer is just starting to sell her self-published book.

Since she wrote, “Six Days of Kindness,” she has also

Margaret (Peggy) Lillian Purdy, aged 91, passed away peacefully on October 9, 2014, surrounded by her family. Margaret was born March 30, 1923, in Fortine, Montana, the daughter of Olga and Reno Lucas.

In 1948, Margaret married Clarence (Bill) William Purdy in Spokane and raised their family of six daughters. They moved to Renton in the 1960’s and remained long-time residents.

Margaret is preceded in death by her husband Clarence (1995) and survived by her six daughters, three sonin-laws, and nine grandchildren.

Margaret will be remembered for her deep love of children. She operated a daycare for many years and loved all children as though they were her own.

Thank you to Wesley Home Health Care in Des Moines who provided excellent care to Margaret for the past seven years.

started a grief makeover business to help those who have lost someone to death or divorce. Her support team of stylists, photographers and counselors transform the grieving person in three to six months and check-in after that time.

Jennifer realizes there is no set timeline for healing from a loss, but says it’s a way for a person to start the process.

“It’s a complete makeover, but it’s a makeover on the inside as well,” she said.

“We’re helping people grow themselves, develop themselves personally in honor of that person or situation,” she said.

Jennifer gets nominations for grief makeovers from all across the country and has taken two people so far through the process.

Currently, she has five to six people in the works.

“I’ve learned so much from grief and while it’s not fun and it’s horrible,” she said. “Depending upon whether you’ve lost somebody or through a divorce or something, there’s always a nugget of information to learn about yourself to make yourself better.”

Renton Civic goes ‘Rocky Horror’ for Halloween For the first time ever, “The Rocky Horror Show” is being staged at the Renton Civic Theatre.

Directed by Alan Wilkie, it opens tonight, Friday, and runs through Nov. 1, with a special midnight showing on Halloween.

Made famous by the movie of a similar name, the show is a humorous send up of the science fiction and horror B-movies of the late 1940s through the early 1970s. The musical is the tale of two “healthy, virginal, 1950s All-American kids,” Brad and Janet, whose car breaks down, said Wilkie.

Looking for a phone, they stumble upon a castle and a transvestite, Frank N. Furter, who’s building a man named Rocky Horror.

Wilkie calls the production a spoof of rock-n-roll, old Universal horror films and burlesque. The second half of the show has a lot of people in lingerie.

For this run, Wilkie has chosen to add a bit of a punk rock edge to the show, instead of the 1950s doowop. The character “Eddie,” played by Steve West, has been styled after Sid Vicious more than the Elvis clone, originally played by Meatloaf in the film.

“I asked my musical director and I decided to

make it a little bit more metal,” said Wilkie. “So I’ve got a little more head-

banging; a little more heavy on the base; a little more on the thrash guitar.”

Originally a Broadway show and then the famous film, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” has achieved cult status and had audiences participating in the show and throwing things, since the late 1970s, when it became a midnight show in cinemas.

“When the film first came out back in the ‘70s it died; it didn’t do very well, but it had been really successful in London,” said Wilkie of the stage version.

He saw the show in London on stage in 1979 and as a teenager would eventually go to the Neptune and participate in the “shadow cast” or those that mimic the actors on the screen in front of the cinema audience.

Wilkie remembers when audiences started participating in the movie.

“And then in New York they started yelling back at the screen,” he said. “It was the gay community

For ID safety, keep only what’s really necessary in your wallet What’s in YOUR wallet?

If you’re like many of us, you don’t really know: Grocery club cards, old receipts, credit cards, a gift card or two, maybe even your Social Security card. Now imagine your wallet is lost or stolen.

If you don’t know what’s in there, how are you going to report the loss to your creditors, the Social Security Administration, your bank, the police?

Here are some simple steps you can take to reduce your risk of identity theft and make your life easier if your wallet is stolen or lost.

• Go through your wallet and take out anything you haven’t used in the past few months. Your Social Security card, rarely used credit cards, gift cards that you’ve forgotten about.

Put them in a safe place – a locked desk drawer or file cabinet. If you need them, you’ll know where to find them.

When was the last time someone asked you for your Social Security card anyway?

• Make a photocopy – front and back – of the items that remain in your wallet, and put the copies in a safe place. If you need to report something stolen, you’ll have your account numbers AND the phone numbers to call right at your fingertips.

• Keep your wallet in a safe place! At home, at work, while you’re out and about – consider where your wallet is physically located. Do you toss your wallet in a desk drawer at work or put your purse under your work station?

If it’s a public place, your property is vulnerable – it only takes a minute while you’re in the restroom for someone to wander by and help themselves to your credit cards. Lock your purse or wallet in a desk drawer, and take the keys with you. When you’re out shopping and your wallet is in your purse, is your purse zipped shut and kept close to you (i.e. NOT sitting in your shopping cart!)?

It might be convenient to keep your wallet in your back pocket, but it’s vulnerable to pickpockets. Keep your wallet in your front pocket, and wrap a rubber band around it to make it more difficult to remove.

• If you have an enhanced ID or credit cards with RFID (“contactless cards”), they need special attention as they can be “cloned” without ever being taken out of your wallet. Special wallets, card sleeves, even aluminum foil can be used to protect your card accounts and I.D. from being cloned.

A stolen gift card is disappointing; a stolen Social Security card could be the beginning of a long and frustrating bout with identity theft.

Be smart about what you keep in your wallet and carry with you, and help protect yourself against fraud and identity theft!

Annual mammograms help detect breast cancer early and care begins In 2009, the U.S. Preventive Task Force (USPTF) released research that changed the guidelines for mammogram screening. Since the release of these altered guidelines, there has been significant confusion about when women should begin to receive regular mammograms.

The new guidelines suggest the average woman should wait to have regular mammograms until age 50 (formerly 40) at a frequency of every two years (instead of annually) until age 74.

A key reminder: the USPTF recommendation is for screening mammograms. Mammograms are still needed at almost any age if a lump is found. The recommendation also does not apply to all women, only for the average woman. Women at especially high risk may want to start mammograms at age 40 or even Sherry Kuzan

earlier.

Every woman should check with her healthcare provider to make an informed decision.

Early detection of breast cancer could save your life.

What many women don’t know is that under the Affordable Care Act, every insured woman is entitled to a screening preventative mammogram at no cost.

Yes, you read that correctly; a preventative mammogram screening is free for insured women. There is no copay, no coinsurance, and no charge to the individual for that mammogram.

Every woman is also entitled a self-referral for screening preventative mammograms.

What does mean? Any woman over 40 who does not currently have a breast health problem or new lump can simply call the Breast [ more CANCER page 7 ]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Tana Senn would focus state issues on the family I would like to bring your attention to an exceptional candidate I am supporting for state representative. Her name is Tana Senn and she was appointed last fall when Marcie Maxwell left the legislature to serve as Gov. Inslee’s education adviser.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tana back in July when she was in my neighborhood knocking on doors and introducing herself to voters.

She is a mom with two children in public schools, has local government experience, and a master’s in Public Administration.

Tana has an impressive background, but more importantly she has the right focus. As she put it, “We need to be focusing on the major issues effecting families, like fully funding education, improving transportation, and creating work place policies that allow us to raise kids and advance our careers.” I agree [ more LETTER page 7 ]

[ CANCER from page 6] Center herself without seeing a physician to obtain an “order” or referral.

Now, let’s try to provide some clarity on the conflicting USPTF guidelines for mammogram screening: The biggest risk factor for breast cancer is simply being a woman who is getting older, and that’s why it’s so important to be screened regularly. The bottom line is that annual mammograms help detect breast cancer early and improve the chances that it can be successfully treated. Let’s be honest, nobody looks forward to having a mammogram, but keep in mind that the implications of not having one could be life-saving.

In many cases, early detection is what makes the key difference in a successful treatment.

At the UW/VMC Breast Center all mammogram screening is focused on care, compassion, and comfort. The Breast Center at UW | Valley Medical Center is open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday – Friday and 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturdays. To learn more, or to make a self-referred appointment, call 425-656-5588 or visit www.valleymed.org/breastcenter.

Sherry Kuzan is a registered nurse and the manager of the Birth Center at Valley Medical Center.

[ LETTER from page 6] and I think we need more legislators who can bring a family oriented perspective to Olympia.

Since meeting Tana, I have been following her campaign and I’ve been pleased to see her support grow. She has been endorsed by seven Eastside mayors, by women’s and environmental groups, and was even featured in a Washington Post article reporting that “family centered policy proposals have taken center stage.”

Tana is the type of representative we need here in the 41st Legislative District. I hope you’ll join me in voting for her this November.

Renton man gets one year for cashing dead father’s Social Security checks A 67-year-old Renton man who illegally collected his father’s Social Security benefit checks for 17 years after his father’s death has been sentenced to a year in prison, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes.

Patrick M. Derrick pleaded guilty to theft of public funds in May 2014, admitting that for 17 years following his father’s death he continued to collect and spend the Social Security payments that were wrongly deposited in his father’s bank account.

In order to execute the fraud, Derrick repeatedly forged his father’s signature on bank documents.

At sentencing U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez noted that Social Security funds are public money set aside for the needy and disabled. Derrick “stole from the most vulnerable who need these benefits to survive,” Judge Martinez

said.

According to records filed in the case, Derrick’s father died in November 1996 but Derrick never informed the Social Security Administration (SSA) of his father’s death. Monthly benefits continued to be paid into the father’s bank account, and Derrick would withdraw the money by writing a check to himself and forging his father’s signature.

In all, Derrick stole 201 monthly Social Security payments totaling $219,032.

In September 2013, SSA learned of the father’s death. When interviewed by federal agents, Derrick initially denied knowing about the payments to his father’s account and denied taking the money.

Derrick had a 21-year military career, followed by a 17-year career with Boeing. Prosecutors argued that this was not a case where the defendant was living on the marThe city’s annual “olde” Fashioned Halloween Party and trick or treat is set for 1 to 4 p.m. Oct. 25 in the Main Street Square, downtown.

gins and needed the extra money to survive.

Addressing the court, Derrick said he started taking the money to “make ends meet” between his military and Boeing careers, and never seemed to be able to catch up with the bills. He admitted using the money to pay college tuition for his daughter and to make donations to his church. He said it is a relief that the “wait for the knock on the door is over.”

The Western District of Washington is a national leader in pursuing fraud on Social Security benefit programs.

Eight other defendants have been charged over the last 18 months with theft of government funds for fraudulently collecting Social Security benefits for years after their parents’ death. As a result of the prosecutions, courts in this district have ordered in excess of $1 million in restitution to the United States. businesses will be open for trick or treating and there will be free games, snacks and more in the square, entrance in the 200 block of Main Avenue South.

Woman arrested in homeless camp The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

A 38-year-old Seattle woman tracked by a Tukwila Police K9 Unit to a homeless camp in a wooded area off Carr Road Oct. 7 was arrested for fourthdegree assault.

Her boyfriend of five years and the father of her 9-month-old child told officers she bit him on the head while he tried to stop her from attacking a couple walking on a trail leading to

the camp.

The boyfriend was smoking a cigarette when he struck up a conversation with the couple. For no reason the suspect began attacking the couple, a 27-year-old Seatac man and a 25-year-old Kent woman.

The boyfriend and the Seatac man tried to stop the suspect from attacking the Kent woman.

The suspect tried to gouge her eye.

The Kent woman was able to get free and ran,

The suspect was arrested nearby and booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree assault.

ARMED MEN ROB HOTEL: Three armed men robbed a hotel on East Valley Road of about $1,000 in cash early Oct. 1.

One of the men entered first to inquire about the cost to rent a room.

Unhappy with the price quoted, he left but returned about 10 minutes with two other men.

Two men pointed their handguns at the clerk and said they would kill him if he didn’t get down on the floor.

Cash was removed from two drawers and two other cabinets were forced open. In a back area they stole a cash box with hotel coupons and Starbucks gift cards worth about $50.

They demanded he open safety-deposit boxes but the renters had the second key.

A suspect grabbed the wallet from his pants as he lay of the floor, but he didn’t have any cash and his credit cards weren’t stolen. The three then fled out of the front door, their hoodies pulled tightly to their faces.

The K9 unit from the Tukwila Police Department searched the area, but the suspects were gone.

BROWN BAG DEAD GIVEWAY: “Whaaaa?

Whaa you talkin’ about?”

But the 28-year-old Tacoma man wasn’t fooling the Renton Police officer who saw the bloodshot eyes and heard the slurred speech.

The officer on foot patrol at the Renton Transit Center downtown saw the obviously intoxicated man holding a large open can partially hidden in a brown paper bag. That’s typically the way people drink alcohol in public.

He was hunched over a railing near bus bay No. 5.

The officer asked him what was he drinking today, which is when the man asked the officer to explain herself. The top of opened can showed “8.1% ALC/ VOL.” He was arrested for unlawful transit conduct for drinking alcohol in public. The officer emptied out the cold-to-the-touch, [ more BLOTTER page 8]

The Tacoma man was told to leave and to expect a criminal citation in the mail.

TRANSIENT HITS WOMAN IN FACE: A 51-year-old transient lying on the sidewalk screaming at other transients Oct. 6 on South Third Street hit a woman in the face who tried to help her.

An officer recognized her from multiple previous contacts and could smell a strong odor of intoxicants. She screamed “no” when the officer asked her whether she understood her Miranda rights.

She was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree assault. An officer went through her three bags of belongings, separating them into trash, into something she could take with her to jail and finally into stuff to inventory.

The 18-year-old woman who tried to help her was treated at Valley Medical Center.

INDECENT EXPOSURE: A 33-year-old Renton man upset that he had just hit and killed a bird while driving on State Route 167 Sept. 30 decided he needed some coffee and a cigarette to calm down.

He pulled into the shopping area on Grady Way, where he caught the attention of a woman in the drive-through of a restaurant.

She reported that he was exposing himself in the parking lot outside a coffee shop.

An officer investigating a collision nearby

responded. The man’s pants were unzipped but he denied he had exposed himself. He was checking his car for any feathers from the bird he had hit and certainly wouldn’t do that with his privates exposed.

The woman was confident of what she saw and gave a detailed description.

He finally admitted his pants were unzipped and he may or may not have had some exposure but he didn’t do it on purpose.

He asked the officer whether he was free to go if he confessed; the officer told him he couldn’t make that deal.

The suspect was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of indecent exposure.

MAN URINATES NEAR SCHOOL STOP: A man was reported urinating near a school bus stop at about 9 a.m. Oct. 8 near Davis Avenue South.

The reporting party did not want to have the man cited for indecent exposure. But he was concerned that children walking in the area could see him.

Police determined the man is a registered sex offender; he’s listed as a transient. The case was forwarded to Renton Police detectives for review.

VEHICLES PROWLED: The personal vehicles of several City of Renton employees parked at the Liberty Park were broken into early Oct. 3.

Security video at the park showed two suspects get out of a gold sedan at about the time of the vehicle prowls.

Decorate your home for the season with the plants of fall THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER

Marianne Binetti

Pumpkins, squash and mums are all plants that celebrate the fall season. An inexpensive way to decorate your home or porch for the change in seasons is to harvest all your squash, apples, corn, tomatoes, peppers and other produce and display your garden bounty in a basket or tray.

Even a basket of colorful leaves raked from the lawn and set near the front door will remind you and your visitors to enjoy the colors of the new season. If you have time and twine, you can use a stapler to secure maple leaves to a length of twine and then frame your front door or windows with a garland of fall colors.

Q.

I want to cook a pumpkin pie with our Jack O lantern once Halloween is over. Can we still put the carved pumpkin outdoors for a week or

so before baking? How long does it take for a pumpkin to rot after carving? T.S., Renton Jack does not make good pie.

Pumpkins sold for carving are not as sweet and tender as baking pumpkins. Better to use a carving pumpkin on the front porch and a baking pumpkin for pies. You can expect a carved pumpkin to last for several weeks without rotting outdoors if it is kept cool and dry. You can find “baking pumpkins” at grocery stores and farmer’s markets. They are specially labeled and often more expensive. These baking pumpkins have great guts but no glory as they end up mashed and baked rather than carved and filled with light.

Q.

Is fall a good time to cut back my tall ornamental grasses? I am not sure what type they are as we just moved into this home and are in the process of cutting back and moving plants.

Q.

Please explain again how and when to prune hydrangeas. I have one in the front that has beautiful purple blossoms but is getting too large. P., Email

A.

Mop head hydrangeas with round flower heads can be pruned now or in the early spring by following the branch that has a flower cluster at the end and cutting down low inside the center of the shrub. This type of hydrangea is the macrophylla or big- leaf hydrangea and it blooms on two-yearold branches. If you prune back all the branches, your hydrangea will not flower the next summer. The trick is to shorten up only the branches that have already flowered and leave the branches with green leaves but no blooms untouched as these will bloom next summer. Always remove the three D’s – anything dead, diseased or damaged. Always shorten up any branches in the way of walkways or mowers. Put people before plants when it comes to overly ambitious growth of any tree or shrub.

any tall ornamental grasses. Winter is when the tall miscanthus grasses add texture and bird food to the landscape and the traditional pruning time in Western Washington is to celebrate the Valentine’s Day Massacre by cutting all brown and shaggy grasses down to a few inches tall.

Early spring pruning allows the fresh spring growth to take over and hide the stumpy brown remnants of winter.

Pruning tall grasses in the fall may not kill your grassy clumps but it could stimulate new growth right when winter arrives. Evergreen ornamental grasses that do not turn brown in the winter such as black Mondo grass, carex, blue fescue and sedges should not be pruned at all.

If you need to tidy up these evergreen grasses, wait until spring and divide up the clumps, removing weak and dead sections but do not cut them down to the ground as you would taller grasses.

reer Training program, which has awarded more than $450 million to 270 community colleges across the country.

The most recent funding will go to creating apprenticeship programs to connect students at the school with potential employers. Biden called the apprenticeships a “pathway back into the middle class” and drew on his background as “Middle Class Joe” and said “the middle class is hurting” but was optimistic about the outlook.

“We can do this folks, we really can,” he said, calling community colleges “the country’s best kept secret” and telling the audience that his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, was back in Virginia teaching at a community college while he spoke.

Biden was introduced by James Cantway of Renton, a 34-year-old student in Renton Technical’s property maintenance program.

Cantway said he volunteered to introduce the vice president, who related to Cantway’s experience as a single father and encouraged him not to give up in getting his education.

“It was a great experience,” Cantway said after.

Biden praised Cantway for going back to school at his age.

“Imagine the courage it takes,” Biden said.

Prior to his brief remarks, Biden took a short tour of the college with RTC President Steve Hanson, Renton Mayor Denis Law and Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. Biden called the aerospace program “incredible” and met a handful of those going through it.

According to the vice president’s remarks, 700 students have enrolled in programs made possible by the grant funding and 550 have already graduated, with 150 of those going to Boeing.

Hanson called the day “a great experience for students.”

“It affirms why we’re here,” he said.

Law agreed and said the visit was “confirmation” of the success of RTC’s programs.

He also said it was great to see Biden interact with the students and also called it a “big deal” to have have the vice president come to Renton to highlight the college.

What did it cost?

During the vice president’s visit to Renton, approximately 70 law enforcement personnel from eight South King County agencies helped block traffic for the vice president’s motorcade and provide security for his visit.

According to the Renton Police Department, the breakdown was as follows: Renton: 27 Federal Way: 4 Port of Seattle 2 Bellevue: 4 Auburn: 4 Kent: 5 Tukwila: 4 SWAT internal security: 22 For Renton, on-duty personnel represented the bulk of the officers involved.

Mayor Denis Law on Monday said that a total of 18 overtime hours were used by the Police Department during the visit for a cost of approximately $900. crown jewels of this city,” Law said. “They don’t just talk about it, they make a difference here.”

[12] October 17, 2014 [ ROUTES from page 1]

www.rentonreporter.com

through Renton as part of the 18-mile project designed to replace the current transmission lines with higher capacity lines, something the company said is needed to meet energy needs of the future. Through Renton, PSE had selected two possible routes, the “M” Route, utilizing the current right-ofway near Monroe Avenue Northeast, and the “L” Route, which would have taken the lines along the former railroad easement near Lake Washington and Gene Coulon Memorial Park.

The preliminary route recommendation is based on information gathered over the past year, community feedback, survey results, and the results of a “multi-objective decision analysis,” called MODA, which is a process for making decisions involving very complex issues. The MODA evaluation was completed by 19 out of 24 advisory group members.

Of the 18 advisory group members present on Oct. 8, 15 members supported the preliminary route recommendation; two abstained and one had a dissenting opinion to include only three routes.

The Community Advisory Group’s preliminary recommendation includes the following routes (listed north-to-south): • Ash (Segments A-C-D-F-G1I-K2-M-N) • Oak (Segments A-C-E-G2-I-K2M-N) • Redwood (Segments A-C-E-G2G1-H-K1-K2-M-N) • Willow (Segments A-C-E-J-M-N) To view these routes and the others that were evaluated visit http://www. energizeeastside.com/interactive-map.

CAG member and Kennydale Neighborhood Association president Darius Richards said his time on the group was “interesting and challeng-

ing” and said the “M” route was chosen because it presents fewer problems than the “L” route along the water.

“The proposed ‘L’ segment is loaded with problems that go well beyond simple aesthetics, including: a unique shoreline environment subject to restrictions contained in the Renton Shoreline Management Plan; extremely narrow rail corridor that would place the power poles less than 50 feet from the majority of homes; impacts to the enjoyment of this stretch of lakeshore (including Gene Coulon Park) by the hundreds of bicyclists, walkers and drivers who pass by daily; a well-founded legal challenge to assertations by Puget Sound Energy (and others) that they have easement rights to the rail corridor; extensive

cutting of trees along the “L” route (520 trees, according to data provided

by PSE);...and the list goes on,” he said in an email.

Because of the difficulties and problems, Richards said the “L” route was eliminated during discussions at the final two CAG meeting, though he said it would be “unwise” for residents to assume they have reached “home plate.”

“There are still decisions to be made, and there will be opportunities for the public to weigh in,” he said, adding that no neighborhood wants the taller towers. “I encourage all Eastside residents to consider the case for alternative solutions to the Energize Eastside proposal.”

PSE initially identified 18 potential route options for the new, highercapacity electric transmission lines that will stretch the 18 miles between Redmond and Renton, along with a new substation. In July, the project’s Community Advisory Group recommended 11 of those routes for further evaluation. That number has now been narrowed to four.

Continuing feedback from the public will help the advisory group make its final recommendation to PSE in December. PSE will ultimately make the final decision on which route is selected.

The public is encouraged to weigh in on the Community Advisory Group’s preliminary route recommendation at open houses on Nov. 12 in Renton and Nov. 13 in Redmond, and by using an online open house feature that launches in early November at pse.com/energizeeastside.

November ballots headed to voters King County Elections mailed ballots Wednesday to nearly 1.2 million registered voters for the Nov. 4 general election.

On the ballot are state legislative and congressional offices, as well as judicial offices, including the state Supreme Court, District Court and state Court of Appeals.

The only county race is for King County prosecuting attorney, in which incumbent Dan Satterberg is running unopposed.

There are five statewide measures (three initiatives and two advisory votes) on ballots this election.

There are no Renton measures or candidates on the ballot.

Voters do not need to make a selection in every race for votes to count. Voters may leave a race blank or “write in” the name of a candidate for a race on the ballot. They shouldn’t write “none of the above” or a frivolous name; that increases processing costs.

Voters will receive two voters’ pamphlets this election, one from the state and one from King County Elections.

Voters’ pamphlets are mailed separately and may arrive on a different day than ballots. Voters may also check MyVoterGuide for a customized voters’ pamphlet online at the Elections Division website, www.kingcounty.gov/ elections.

Voters should read and follow directions on their ballots, sign the return envelope, and get ballots back before the Nov. 4 election day deadline. Mailed ballots need a first-class stamp. Voters also have 25 locations (available online) to return ballots without a stamp by 8 p.m. on Nov. 4, including permanent drop box locations, scheduled ballot drop-off vans and Accessible Voting Centers.

Citizens not yet registered to vote in Washington state have until Oct. 27 at 4:30 p.m. to register in person at King County Elections offices to vote in the primary election: • King County Elections 919 S.W. Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 Open weekdays 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

• King County Voter Registration Annex 500 Fourth Avenue, Room 440, Seattle, WA 98104 Open weekdays 8:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. and 2 – 4:30 p.m.

Voters who don’t receive a ballot by Oct. 20 or who have questions should call King County Elections at 206-296-VOTE (8683).

To help spur a younger crowd, the senior center hosted a retirement planning seminar on Oct. 8 and again this past Wednesday. Additional seminars are planned for future Wednesday evenings as well.

Most of the facilities will be open during the extended hours, though the kitchen, coffee bar and computer room will be closed. Daly said they hope to get computer classes in during the evenings in the future.

But aside from those three items, the rest of the center’s facilities will be available, from the pool room to card room to the TV room and even the fitness center, though there is a $1 charge to use the fitness center.

Senior center extends hours in bid to attract new retirees

October 17, 2014 [13] Two staff members will be on hand Wednesday evenings and though Daly said the additional staffing would show up in the center’s budget, there is presently enough room in the budget and enough demand for the additional hours to make it work.

“It’s something that’s really new to us,” Daly said. “I think it’s really going to take off.”

The Renton Senior Activity Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays. For more information, call 425-430-6633 Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-2553484, ext. 5050.

Joint replacement isn’t a life saver.

But it is a lifestyle saver.

According to Senior Center Director Shawn Daly, the decision to keep the doors open a little longer came in response to a survey that showed residents would like the facility to stay open later.

“Obviously, more and more people – including seniors – are working during the day,” Daly said.

The hope, according to Daly, is that the extended evening hours provide an opportunity for the newly retired and the

Clayton’s two TDs lead Renton past Hazen 21-9 In the second quarter, Clayton ran in a 1-yard touchdown and then later followed a 2-yard run for paydirt.

Hazen rallied, however, as quarterback Nolan Hoover hit Eli Azcueta on a 35-yard touchdown strike. The 2-point conversion was unsuccessful and the teams headed to the locker rooms with Renton up 14-9 at the half.

Elijah Clayton ran for two touchdowns Friday night to help give the Renton Indians a 21-9 victory over crosstown rival Hazen in a Seamount League match-up at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Hazen got on the board first Friday with a 20-yard field goal from Jacob Black to take a 3-0 lead after the first quarter but it would not be enough.

Lindbergh crushes Evergreen The Lindbergh Eagles football team went out fast on Thursday and never looked back, riding a 28-point first quarter to a 49-0 victory over Evergreen at Renton Memorial Stadium.

The Eagles got things started with a 27-yard touchdown pass from Anthony Hill to Khalil Burton for 7-0 lead. They followed it with a 1-yard touchdown run from D’Shaun Sims.

Next, the defense got involved, forcing Evergreen into a safety. Then, Lindbergh’s Derek Armstrong returned a kickoff for a touchdown. Then, Hill hit Devon Jackson for a 63-yard touchdown pass-and-run to give the Eagles a 28-0 lead after the first quarter.

“Devon Jackson did a little bit of everything, like always,” said coach Matt Leamer.

In the second, the Eagles continued to spread the ball around with D’Angelo Faust picking up a 23-yard touchdown run. Then, Jackson picked up his second TD of the day off an 8-yard run. At the half, Lindbergh led 42-0.

The action slowed in the second half with the only scoring coming on a 3-yard touchdown run from Emmanuel Harvey to secure the 49-0 win.

Lindbergh is now 3-3 overall and 2-1 in the Seamount Conference. They play at Foster on Friday.

Hazen soccer loses to Lindbergh, beats Evergreen behind ‘the bruise’

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

After dropping a game to Lindbergh on Thursday that officially ended a run at a third consecutive Seamount League championship, the Hazen girls soccer team bounced back Tuesday with a 5-0 win over Evergreen.

The Lady Highlanders got a goal and three assists from senior forward Brook Swensen in the match.

Though the team will make the playoffs no matter how they finish the season, Coach Ken Matthews is challenging his squad to win their last five games and build some momentum for the postseason.

“One down, four to go,” he said. “I have to say this - there were a lot of positives to build off going forward.”

Swensen’s first goal came eight minutes into the game off an assist from sophomore Amy Warmenhoven. Five minutes later, junior captain and midfielder Taylor Lenton got a pass from Swensen to put the Highlanders up 2-0.

Besides Swensen’s big night, call ups to

the roster for this week paid dividends for Hazen. They were involved in Hazen’s last four goals.

Playing her second varsity game of the season, sophomore forward Valencia Poston scored on a corner from Swensen.

Junior mid Sarah Hart had a goal from freshman mid Paige Tabert, who was playing her first varsity match. Tabert then got her second assist of the game when sophomore forward Allison Sargent scored.

In the second half, freshman mid Clara Brodie got her first varsity goal in her second game assisted by Swensen.

“It was interesting to see what was happening on the field. There were some girls who stood up and out tonight and we needed that. But none bigger than Bruise,” Matthews said, using Swensen’s nickname.

On Oct. 9, Hazen fell to crosstown rival Lindbergh in a match at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Lindbergh’s lone goal came 13 minutes into the game, unassisted by Justine Yarington. Yarington scored in the previous [ more SOCCER page 15 ]

Contractor faces charges for failure to complete work in Renton A Spokane County man faces unregistered contractor charges in connection with construction scam in Renton that bilked consumers out of thousands of dollars.

The King County Prosecutor’s Office has charged Stephen Paul Ranson, 49, of Mead in Spokane County, with one count of unregistered contracting.

Ranson was arraigned Oct. 15.

The case resulted from Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) investigations.

L&I reminds consumers to never pay large deposits, don’t pay in full until the job is done, and always make sure that construction contractors are registered in Washington.

In 2013, three homeowners hired Ranson for a $23,000 job to raise and extend a retaining wall that ran along their back yards. In August 2013, the owners each wrote checks to Ranson and Echo Falls

Construction for a total deposit of $12,015, charging papers said.

Although he hadn’t done any work, Ranson asked the owners for additional funds — more than $3,000 — a few months later. This time he used the name SR Construction Inc., according to charging papers. The owners didn’t pay, and after contacting the city, learned Ranson had not even applied for permits.

It turned out the original business name Ranson used belonged to a relative, and L&I had suspended that business’s registration. In addition, L&I records show Ranson wasn’t registered as a contractor when he provided an estimate for the retaining wall and deposited the homeowners’ checks.

State law requires contractors to register with L&I. To register, contractors must have liability insurance, a business license and a bond to allow for some financial recourse if the project goes awry.

Consumers can check whether a contractor is registered by going to www.Verify.Lni.wa.gov or calling 1-888-811-5974.

For example, the transportation impact fee for a single residential unit will increase from $1,430.72 in 2014 to $2,214.44 in 2015 and then increase again to $2,951.17 in 2016.

According to Planning Director Chip Vincent, the increases were planned as part of a multi-year program. Vincent said when he started with the city in 2008, fees had not been increased in 15 years and were lagging behind inflation.

However, because the increase would be so “radical,” the council opted to phase them over several years. In 2012, the city gave notice that fees would not be changing for 18 months but then would begin to increase.

“Beginning Jan. 1, 2014, the fee went up 30 percent,” Vincent said. “Then, in 2015, another third and finally Jan. 1, 2016, the final third kicks in.”

The next two years complete that cycle and bring the city’s fees up to the mean of surrounding municipalities.

“The trick was finding the sweet spot,” Vincent said of the fees.

The Planning Department has been busy this year as the economy pulls out of the recession and Vincent said his department is nearly $1 million over budget this year. Next year, the department will get 2.5 employees, paid for by the surplus and an increased workload, to help meet the additional challenges.

The city is also increasing park impact fees from $963 to $1,441 on single-family residential homes and the water and wastewater system development charges are also increasing.

Some of the city’s recreational fees will also be increasing next year.

The cost of a round of golf at Maplewood, for example, will go up a couple of bucks, while the cost of a pass card at Henry Moses Aquatic Center will increase from $50 to $60 for residents and from $100 to $120 for non-residents.

In addition, the city will finish paying off the golf-course bonds in 2015.

The boat launch fee at Coulon Park will increase by the same amount.

“We feel this is appropriate … to cover our expenses,” Director Terry Higashyama told the council. “The public has told us to take care of the assets we have.”

In the Administrative Services Department, the big change for next year is the switch to a business and occupation tax. With that comes a change to how the city processes business licenses, though the cost should, generally, remain the same for businesses.

The Administrative Services Department is also hiring 3.5 new staff members to help meet the service increases of the past few years. The new hires will take the department to 42 fulltime employees, still well below the 2008 staff of 52.5.

The next step in the process will be continuing presentations to the Committee of the Whole from each city department explaining their budget requests, as well as a public hearing scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct. 20.

The first reading of the budget ordinances is expected Oct. 27 with adoption expected Nov. 3.

by Dan Kellogg

Attention: A New Estate Planning Tool “Beneficiary Deeds” (or “Transfer on Death Deeds”) will soon be available. They will be helpful to clients with small estates that hold real estate as the only asset that will require probate. With a Beneficiary Deed, the parent can deed real estate to their children (or other beneficiary) during their lifetime. The deed can be revoked until the death of the parent. If not revoked, the deed becomes effective at the death of the parent to vest ownership in the children - - - thus avoiding the need for probate for the real estate. Please contact our office to check out this new strategy.

I have more than 40 years of experience providing thoughtful and comprehensive counsel for clients. Please call 425-227-8700 to make an appointment.

99% of adults believe a smile is an important social asset and 75% of adults believe that an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chance of success in their careers.

50% of Americans do not visit the dentist on a regular basis and about 9 to 15% of these patients avoid dental care altogether because of fear and anxiety about going to the dentist.

Traditional restorative dental treatment has many shortcomings and has been shown to be an ineffective method for managing cavities. LEARN MORE >
