Brown family suing state, claim lack of supervision led to death BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

The parents of 12-year-old Alajawan Brown are suing the state Department of Corrections, claiming the convicted felon who murdered him 4 1/2 years ago wasn’t properly supervised. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 24 in King County Superior Court by Louis and Ayanna Brown of Skyway. No damages were specified in the lawsuit. The Brown family filed a tort claim against the corrections department in September, which asked for $5 million in damages Alajawan was shot in the back on April 29, 2010, by Curtis John Walker, who mis-

took him for a gang member. Walker had just been involved in a gang shootout at an apartment complex near the 7-11 store on Martin Luther King Jr. Way where he gunned down Alajawan. Walker was 36 when he was convicted of first-degree murder with a firearms enhancement in February 2012 and sentenced on March 22, 2012, to 50 years in prison. It was at the sentencing that the Browns, after following the investigation closely for two years and sitting through the threeweek trial, learned the extent of Walker’s criminal background and that he had violated his supervision by selling drugs and possessing firearms, according to the lawsuit. It was the first time they had reason to

believe the state corrections department “had missed an opportunity to arrest Walker and get him off the streets before he had a chance to kill their son,” according to the Alajawan Brown lawsuit. “DOC failed miserably in its supervision of this dangerous offender,” the Browns’ attorney, Nathan P. Roberts, said in an interview Tuesday. “Had DOC done its job properly, he would have been in jail, and Alajawan would still be alive today.” A spokeswoman for the state corrections department declined to discuss the case because of the lawsuit.

Ayanna Brown also declined to comment, referring questions to Roberts. Finally recuperated from their stress, the Browns contacted an attorney in March 2014 to look into the possibility the state corrections department also bore responsibility for Alajawan’s murder, according to the lawsuit. “It was one thing to know that their son’s murder was a senseless act of violence; it’s another thing to know it should have been prevented by law enforcement, who instead turned a blind eye,” Roberts said in an interview. Norah M. West, a spokeswoman for the state corrections department, declined to comment specifically on Walker’s terms of [ more BROWN page 9 ]

With 2014 already starting to slip into the rearview mirror, the focus is beginning to move to 2015 and before finishing for the year, the City Council adopted its priorities for the state legislature’s next session. Included on the city’s list this year is not only the legislative changes and funding they’d like to see but also a request for $3.6 million for the construction of the Sunset Neighborhood Park. Transportation issues once again lead the way for Renton, particularly the state Route 167/Interstate 405 interchange, which Communications Director Preeti Shridhar called “very very critical, very important.” “We really really need the legislature to enact and update and adopt a comprehensive transportation package,” she said, reiterating that the interchange is considered the worst in the state for traffic. “We [ more PRIORITIES page 11 ]

Moreno is one of Renton’s muralists BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

You may not know Rick Moreno by name, but you’ve most likely seen his work. Moreno is the muralist responsible for the “I (Heart) Renton” painting downtown on Third Street and countless other window scenes displayed seasonally in Renton businesses. “To me windows are a canvas and so it’s just a really fun place to be creative,” said Rick Moreno Moreno. He has no formal art training, but studied architecture and civil engineering in school and has honed his mural skills over the years in a part-time profession. Moreno had seen others do window displays and was looking for some part-time work in 2000, when he decided to try his

hand at the art work. He was encouraged by family, friends and businesses and did his first mural for Common Ground Coffee and Cupcakes in 2007. “I painted the murals inside their store when they first opened and so as a result they’ve been a client of mine ever since and people started noticing,” said Moreno. He’s not the only window muralist in town, but he paints regionally and presently has seven window displays up in Renton. He’s careful to point out there is

a sort of code between the window artists to prevent them from infringing on each other’s turf. Once he sees art on a business by another artist, Moreno said he won’t approach that company about doing its window displays the next year, unless they contact him. Window displays and wall murals aren’t the only type of art Moreno creates. “There’s not a month that goes by that I don’t have some artwork on the side that I’m doing, whether it be in chalk board art,

whether it be a sporting event, a seasonal event, an anniversary of a restaurant, a special occasion,” he said. He gets his painting ideas by following what’s relevant and trending in advertising. Moreno is always looking for what catches his eye. Sometimes he uses Hallmark cards for inspiration. “I don’t plagiarize anything; I just spin something I see from a concept,” he said. One concept for Potbelly Sandwiches involved a backdrop of the Swiss Alps and a St. Bernard with a bag

full of Potbelly sandwiches. It’s those type of subtle twists that make Moreno’s sketches distinctive. He says his creations are addictive and he gets a rush from painting legal graffiti. “Other people have their toys and their hobby that they do, this is my hobby; this is my toy,” he said. “It gives me a lot of pleasure on many levels. It gives me the sense that I’m meeting the needs of someone else. It gives me creative license and that satisfies something within me as well.”

The Cascade Vista Athletic Club was broken into over the weekend, with someone stealing lawn equipment, a generator and two pitching machines. It’s the second time in less than two months the youth baseball league has been targeted. The first break-in occurred on late October when a riding lawn mower and push mower were taken. “The club has installed heavier locks but now we are faced with a tough decision to raise the cost of baseball for families,” said Dave Nelson, spokesperson for the club, which plays under Pony Baseball/Softball (not Little League). “Insurance will cover some of the cost for replacement, but replacing equipment comes at an additional cost.” Renton Police are investigating both break-ins. In the meantime, the CVAC is asking for community help to replace their stolen equipment. “To keep the cost down we are asking for donations from the community to replace everything stolen,” said Nelson. “Whoever broke in cannot stop us from playing baseball and they cannot stop a kid about dreaming of playing baseball or softball.” Those wishing to pledge donations are asked to email the club president Robert Ryan at president@cvac.org. Nelson said the club hopes to have a formal secure site in the coming days.

‘Tis two days after session and all through the Dome, Not a member is working since they all have gone home; House members left first, making deals left and right, Then voting out bills near the middle of the night; Senators meanwhile had debates on the floor, ‘Till the chance came Tuesday to bolt out the door; If Murray and Cantwell looked to be a bit dour, That’s because very soon they’ll be losing some power; They’re majority today, minority tomorrow, They’ve been in it before, still there’ll be some sorrow; Murray will lead Dems on a key committee, On which Rs may take aim at the N-L-R-B; She’ll seek to rewrite No Child Left Behind, But getting it done will be quite a grind; Minimum wage is looming on the horizon, If the panel gets there, brace for a collision; Ds want it higher and will say Rs don’t care Hey, doesn’t that sound like class warfare? Where Cantwell is moving should be lots of action, It’s the same energy panel where once sat Scoop Jackson. Murkowski is the leader and knows issues ‘round here But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to fear; Cantwell wants biofuels put ahead of oil, But the chair’s from Alaska, so expect a little roil; This panel has created some great national parks, Yet raising the subject may generate some sparks; Congress acted swiftly in its final few days, Hard to keep track in so many ways; Buried at the end of those last-minute bills Are what some fear are poisonous pills; Like easing protections in ‘ole Dodd-Frank Could leave the markets ripe for a prank; And allowing the parties to haul in more cash Could wind up inciting voter backlash; Yet tucked in the bills are bites of good news Regardless of one’s political views; Like the sales tax deduction, it’s safe once again, A rare cause that united our delegation; ‘Tis two days after session – yes Congress is done, They’ll look back without fondness ‘cuz it wasn’t fun; They’ll return in a few weeks, all full of good cheer, Knowing they don’t face election next year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR It’s disturbing that gun charges plea-bargained I find it disturbing that we vote for tougher gun laws and then drop the gun-related charges in a plea deal. The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, the same people that told you to vote for I-594 because you would be safer, dropped the firearms charges on Ja’Mari Alexander-Alan Jones. Jones was convicted of murder in the death of Ed (the Tuba Man) McMichael in 2009. Now, after being convicted of the 2012 murder of DeShawn Milliken in Bellevue Square, he is offered a plea bargain. Do we want results from our stand on firearms or do we just want to feel good because we voted for a law that punishes law-abiding

citizens but not criminals?

Don’t get SAD, get some help What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)? Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is a mood disorder characterized by depression related to a certain season of the year – especially winter. While the exact cause of SAD is still under investigation, it is widely believed that decreased exposure to sunlight is one of the main culprits, especially for the winter variety of the disorder.

OPINION

[4] December 19, 2014

Who is affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder? According to the National Mental Health Disorders Association, approximately 10 to 20 percent of the population suffers from mild winter SAD, with 5 percent suffering from a more severe form of the disorder. Anyone can

experience SAD, but onset typically occurs in the early-to-mid-20s and is more likely to affect women than men. How do I know if I’m experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder, and what should I do? If you feel depressed, fatigued and irritable the same time each year, and these feelings seem to be seasonal in nature, you may have a form of SAD. If you think you are experiencing a form of SAD, it is important to speak openly with your doctor about how you feel so that you and your healthcare provider can form an effective treatment plan. How is Seasonal Affective Disorder treated? If it is determined that you are experiencing SAD, your healthcare provider will work closely [ more SAD page 5 ]

Before Sacramento, Baxter was head of the Yountville Chamber of Commerce in Yountville, Calif. There, she coordinated major events bringing thousands of tourists into town and worked with celebrities, who were the owners and operators of wineries, restaurants and resorts. Her accomplishments there include organizing a Veteran’s Day luncheon with the famous chefs of Yountville, resulting in local and national media attention. One idea she’d like to bring to Renton is organizing a Fourth of July boat parade. She sees lots of potential in Renton and wants it to be a destination city not just in the summer time, but year round. “So, I’d like to see the downtown enjoy prosperity,” she said. “I think there’s wonderful things happening in the downtown already. Many people in California knew about Renton because of the antique stores. They thought it was a very quaint downtown.” Baxter took the job because she has an ailing mother who lives up here, more family and the circumstances turned out just right. “The reason why, to be honest, is we have a daughter who lives in Lake Stevens and we have family up here,” she said. “And we said that if there ever was a position in Renton and this area of Washington, we would love to live up here.”

The new Renton Chamber of Commerce CEO Vicky Baxter wants to see the city enjoy prosperity. “I really think Renton is a perfect launch for wonderful things,” said Baxter five days into her new role. “I think that past management that’s been here at the chamber has been really good from Bill Taylor to Sabrina (Mirante) to Lynn (Wallace). They’ve done really well to position the chamber for some great things.” Baxter has more than 20 years in economic development experience and is most recently from Santa Ana, Calif., where she was the executive director of Downtown Ink, a group that’s mission was to facilitate the enhancement of downtown Santa Ana as a vibrant shopping, dining, entertainment, business and cultural destination. Some of her accomplishments there included creating a one stop planning department for business with the City of Santa Ana and creating a merchant council, resulting in new marketing opportunities and communication. She formed collaborations with multiple business and retail groups and even started a “Downtown Divas” group for successful women for networking and coordination efforts, among other projects. “Within four years we were able to

get 60 new businesses,” she said of Downtown Ink. “And right now the whole foodie phenomenon that’s going all over the United States Vicky Baxter has really hit Santa Ana. We were able to secure some very good restaurants and retail.” Baxter left a thriving Santa Ana and hopes to work her magic here in Renton. She already likes what she sees in the city. The restaurants are well-represented here and there is much diversity among them, she said. She also likes the overall diversity of Renton, which was also true of Southern California. Prior to Downtown Ink, Baxter was the executive director of the Historic Old Sacramento Foundation, a 28 acre historic landmark district and state park. “The claim to fame in old Sacramento is the Gold Rush and people come to see the re-enactors on the street from Lincoln to Civil War characters,” she said. “My position was bringing more prosperity, people into the downtown, making sure they support our businesses. I did a lot of events.” While there, she oversaw four direct reports, more than 100 volunteers, 10 university interns and 45 re-enactors.

Group finalizes ‘Energize’ route recommendation The Community Advisory Group working on Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside transmission line upgrade project has made its final route recommendation. The panel – comprised of neighborhood, business and civic leaders – selected routes Oak and Willow at their final meeting Wednesday night. The final recommendation by the advisory group is based on its work over the last year, including discussion of community feedback collected throughout 2014. Of the 20 advisory group members and residential alternates present at the meeting, 17 supported the final recommendation. Of those 17, eight expressed preference for the Oak route and rive expressed preference for the Willow route, while four supported either route. Three advisory group members had a dissenting opinion and supported none of the routes. These are the final recommended routes that now move on to PSE for an even more thorough review: • Oak (Segments A-C-E-G2-I-K2-M-N) • Willow (Segments A-C-E-J-M-N)

To make your gift today visit us at: www.bellevuecollege.edu/foundation or call (425) 564-2386.

Visit the interactive map on the Energize Eastside project website to view these routes and the others that have been evaluated. PSE will ultimately make an announcement about routing after reviewing the Community Advisory Group’s recommendation, larger public feedback, and opportunities and constraints surrounding the project. That decision is expected in early 2015. Also during the coming months, PSE will work directly with property owners and tenants to begin detailed fieldwork to inform the route alignment, project design, the environmental review process, and permit applications; ask for community input on project design, which may include pole location, height, finish and other design considerations; and work with the City of Bellevue and other affected jurisdictions and agencies on the project’s

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process. PSE initially identified 18 potential route options for the new, higher-capacity electric transmission lines that will stretch 18 miles between Redmond and Renton, along with the construction of a new substation.

Gardeners are easy to gift, even at the last minute. You don’t need to search for a parking space in a crowded mall, log onto Amazon or bother UPS and pay for shipping. Visit a nursery, garden center or go online for these thoughtful green and reasonably priced gifts – with the exception of the final gift suggestion which is a luxury splurge: A trip to visit sunny Portugal next November. Tickets to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show (www.gardenshow.com) The show runs Feb. 11-14 this year so tickets could double as a gift for Valentine’s Day. When you buy early, you save money; and if you don’t want to go online to the website at www.gardenshow.com you may be able to buy tickets from your local nursery. If you haven’t been to this spectacular show, make this the year you enjoy the fragrance of flowers and inspiration of beauty even if you are not a gardener. Turn your visit into a mini vacation by booking a hotel room in Seattle and visiting the show for two or more days.

He then would have been in jail and not at the gang battle that led to Alajawan’s murder, according to the lawsuit. The Browns’ lawsuit maintains the state didn’t make the required contacts with Walker and he only their old ways and crimes are committed.” While most corrections officers do a “good job” managing caseloads, “when the system breaks down there needs to be accountability,” he said. According to the lawsuit, a concerned citizen

reported on April 17, 2010, that Walker may have threatened his girlfriend with a weapon. Had corrections officers, with police backup, gone to Walker’s house, they would have found drugs and weapons, a violation of his probation, according to the lawsuit.

The jury would be asked to award monetary damages to the Browns for the loss of their son, and to Alajawan’s estate for economic damages and pre-death terror, pain, and suffering, according to Roberts. “The primary purpose of the lawsuit is to shed light on DOC’s failures so that the mistakes in this case are not repeated,” Roberts said.

community supervision. Currently, 16,563 offenders statewide are actively supervised by the Department of Corrections; nearly two-thirds of those offenders are assessed as higher risk to reoffend, according to West. The state currently actively supervises 2,843 offenders in King County, she said. According to the lawsuit, the corrections department classified Walker at the highest risk level because of drugs, violence and gang activity. He was being supervised for unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance. Typically, higher-risk offenders receive a minimum of three or four contacts per month, in field offices and at home as well as at work or school, according to West. Some have courtordered requirements for substance abuse, mental health or domestic violence treatment. “We hold offenders accountable, and when they violate their court-ordered or DOC-ordered supervision conditions, they will spend up to three days in jail for low-level violations (positive drug tests, failing to comply with treatment) and up to 30 days for highlevel violations (absconding from supervision, more than five low-level violations, etc.),” she wrote in an email. Roberts, the Brown’s attorney, said statistics show that “good supervision is highly effective at preventing future crime; but when supervision is weak, offenders invariably return to

received a “slap on the wrist” when urinalysis tests showed the presence of drugs, including cocaine. “Because Defendant DOC was not doing its job and was not supervising Curtis Walker in a meaningful way, he was free to carry on in his ‘gangster’ lifestyle, which involved selling drugs and carrying weapons, and which posed an extremely high risk of deadly violence to the community,” according to the lawsuit.

Two men fight in wooded homeless camp The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Two men, one described as paranoid and a meth user, argued and fought in a homeless camp Nov. 17 in a wooded area in the 10400 block Carr Road Southeast. The 27-year-old man who reported the fight told officers he lives with a woman in a tent in the woods, which they share with

another woman. When they returned to the tent, they found the 37-year-old man sleeping there. The 37-year-old refused to leave and the two men got into a fight. The 27-yearold pulled out the blade of a multi-tool to defend himself and his friend. The man still wouldn’t leave, so the 27-year-old left to call police. While he was gone, the other man left. It’s unknown whether he was injured, but nearby Valley Medical Center indicated it would notify police if a wounded man

showed up. The 27-year-old told officers that if they needed to contact him, he’s near the campsite most days. The police report included addresses for all those involved.

She moved them to a dryer. Their owner walked in, ready to put them in the dryer herself. She took issue with the other woman putting her hands on her clean clothes. She admitted to making contact with her basket but without any force. The officer couldn’t determine that an assault occurred.

Hands off A 56-year-old woman wants a fellow tenant prosecuted for assault with a laundry basket after two argued Nov. 12 over their laundry. The woman found the other tenant’s clothing were done washing in the laundry.

“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.

www.rentonreporter.com [ PRIORITIES from page 1] do need to have the worst fixed first.” The city is also once again asking the legislature to provide direct distribution of gas tax and other local transportation funding revenue to the cities, which would allow them larger local control and more options. That coincides nicely with the city’s second priority as well: fiscal stability. The city, through its lobbyists, is urging the legislature to protect “state-shared” revenues and to avoid funding cuts for things like transportation and public safety. In particular, the city would like to see full restoration of liquor tax excise distributions and a percentage growth in liquor profits as a way to help the cities deal with the increased law enforcement and other issues that have come with privatization. “We need to protect … our share of the revenue,” Shridhar said. “The impact is direct on public safety.” The city would also like the legislature to address what it calls “sustainable revenue options” by “encouraging a fix” to the law, approved by voters through a 2002 initiative, that limits annual property

tax growth to 1 percent despite a similar artificial control on costs. “We’ve seen year after year our costs increase at the rate of inflation while our revenue sources are curtailed,” Shridhar said. In the public safety arena, the city’s top priority is the funding of “critical public safety needs” through the sharing of marijuana excise tax revenues. There is also hope that the legislature will finally reconcile the regulations and laws surrounding medical marijuana usage. They are also urging the legislature to continue providing money for grant programs, such as “Alive and Free,” a gang intervention program through

which the city receives some funding. The biggest ask in the city’s legislative package this year, however, is a $3.6 million capital budget request to construct Phase I of the 3.1-acre Sunset Neighborhood Park. Shridhar called the project “extremely important to Renton” and said though this is a “strong ask” of the legislature, the money would help meet multiple goals, including safety enhancements for the region and simply improving the quality of life for residents of the area. “This just ties in the entire investment of the Sunset Area,” she said, adding that state funding would be matched by a city investment of $5.26 million. In addition, the city

would at that time have completed $48 million worth of infrastructure improvements in the area. Last year, the city received capital projects money to replace the Riverview Park bridge. The scheduled 105-day session begins Jan. 12, 2015.

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.

Last season’s 2A champion Eagles dropped their opening meet to Steilacoom 115-70 on Dec. 9. James Buchanan, Ben Pogue and Andrew Pogue all had big days for Lindbergh.

You call this a hospital?

Photo: Benjamin Benschneider/OTTO

No. As a matter of fact, we call it a community center thatâ€™s dedicated to health. We call it a shopping mall for gifts that bring some much-needed cheer. We call it a school where you can learn about what ails you and how to avoid it in the first place. We call it a peaceful place for healing where the best minds in medicine come together as one. We call it a no-wait emergency room, a family-friendly primary-care clinic, an advanced lab and diagnostic imaging center, and a home to dozens of expert specialists. We call this place Swedish Issaquah. We think youâ€™ll call it extraordinary.
