GUNFIRE KILLS TWO | Shooting at New Year’s Eve party [3]

‘Beast Mode’ BREAKDOWN HEAD

Lynch is known for his physical play, but he is also a player offensive-line coach Tom Cable described as one of the most intelligent he has ever coached.

EYES

Every running back needs vision, and the best ones, like Lynch, can recognize where a hole is going to be before it opens.

Of course, that doesn’t keep Lynch from occasionally running into contact — seemingly on purpose.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 2015

W

hen the Seattle Seahawks acquired Marshawn Lynch in 2010, they didn’t just get a running back, they got an identity. Over the past five seasons, Lynch has not only been one of the NFL’s best backs, he has also helped define the physical, smash-mouth style that brought Seattle its first Super Bowl title.

GO HAWKS | Yes, the Seahawks are already a team of superlatives, beyond just making the playoffs. [Coverage 6-8]

Here’s a look at what makes Lynch special.

MOUTH

Lynch’s silence has become a story in the past two years, as he prefers to let his game do the talking.

This also is where the Skittles go.

HANDS

In addition to hanging onto the ball as a runner, Lynch has used his hands to secure a career-high 367 receiving yards and four touchdown catches this season.

Comedian assaulted with baseball bat at downtown club

STOMACH

ARM

Few running backs, if any, deliver as nasty a stiff-arm as Lynch. It’s a weapon that helps him turn good runs into great ones. Just ask former Saints cornerback Tracy Porter about it.

Lynch missed the first quarter of Seattle’s win in Arizona because of an upset stomach, and it has been an issue at other times as well, though never to the point that he missed a game.

BACK

Lynch regularly misses practice because of a balky back, although it has only caused him to miss one game since joining the Seahawks. How long his back holds up could determine how long he is a productive running back.

LEGS

The engines that give Lynch his rare power as a runner have carried him to 1,306 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns this season. Lynch’s legs don’t just provide power, they always keep churning, even when he appears to be stopped.

As much as Lynch is known for his bruising power, he’s surprisingly nimble. Head coach Pete Carroll compared Lynch to a slalom skier because of his quick feet, which help him avoid tacklers and find open running lanes.

Comedian and show producer Dylan Avila was recovering earlier this week at Valley Medical Center, after being attacked by a man while on stage hosting an open-mic session at the Local 907 Monday night.

“I’m doing OK, recovering,” Avila said Wednesday morning from his hospital room.

The Renton Reporter is not naming the 48-yearold suspect because he had yet to be charged as of the Reporter’s press deadline Wednesday.

His first court appearance and bail hearing was Wednesday afternoon. He was booked into the King County Jail in downtown Seattle “This guy just for investigation of first-degree assault. thought he was On Monday, the 36-year-old Jesus Christ and he couldn’t be further Avila had just taken the stage to announce the next comic, when from the truth.” a man approached the stage Dylan Avila wearing gloves and holding an aluminum baseball bat and began beating Avila in the head. According to a witness, about 20 comedians and audience members then rushed the stage to subdue the attacker and attend to Avila. When police arrived, they had to wrestle with the suspect a bit as he resisted arrest, according to one witness.

Avila had banned the suspect from the open-mic session a week prior to the incident.

“Tasteless” doesn’t even begin to describe the man’s act, said Avila.

In his previous appearance at the Local 907, the suspect used sex toys in his act and made crude references.

“This guy just thought he was Jesus Christ and he couldn’t be further from that,” Avila said.

Community supper has new location for three nights

BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

For three of its seven nights, the Renton Community Supper will be held at the former Renton Chamber of Commerce office on Rainier Avenue at Renton Municipal Airport.

The other four nights – Monday through Thursday – the Renton Salvation Army will continue to host the supper at its headquarters at 720 S. Tobin St. The dinner is cooked and served at 5:30 p.m. by volunteers.

Last weekend was the first time for the dinner at the former

chamber office, where a “really relaxed meal” was served, said Maggie Breen, executive director of REACH, one of the community supper partners.

The Renton Meal Coalition had recently been looking for a new location for the weekend nights, working closely with the City of Renton. Mayor Denis Law suggested the chamber office.

Renton Salvation Army Major Kris K. Potter said hosting the dinner at the headquarters all week wasn’t intended to be permanent but was a chance to expand the

said she understands the city may begin tearing down the building in March to begin work on a new aerospace training center at the location.

She’s confident that the coalition will be able to find another location to serve those in need. Depending on the time of month, the dinner serves between 50 to 80 people, and not all of them are homeless. Some have homes but have run out of money to buy food.

TAX PROBLEMS?

The shooting deaths of two men at a New Year’s Eve party east of Renton have been ruled homicides by the King County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The medical examiner determined the two men, Curtis L. Swezey, 50, and Jonatan Lizama Munoz, 18, died of multiple gunshot wounds.

The shootout occurred after Munoz and others were asked to leave the party at about 3:30 a.m.

Jan. 1 at a home in the May Valley area.

Some of the partygoers “took offense” when they were asked to leave; at least one of them pulled out a gun, according to Sgt. DB Gates, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff ’s Office.

In turn Swezey pulled a gun and numerous shots were exchanged outside the home, according to Gates.

“That road was pretty well littered with those evidence placards,” Gates said the placards that marked bullet strikes or spent shells in the 11500 block of 161st Avenue Southeast A third person who

also had a gun reported that someone was firing from another location, too, according to Gates. He exchanged gunfire with them, then they left.

About 20 people attended the party; detectives were sorting through their witness accounts and the guns.

Ballistics testing “is going to be huge in this case,” Gates said, to determine which guns fired the fatal shots. Detectives can link guns to three of the four people known to have fired rounds, she said.

REGION TO HONOR DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

As America celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the landmark Voting Rights Act, King County and the region are honoring the life of one of the driving forces behind that effort, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This year’s free event is scheduled for noon, Jan. 15, at the Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St., Seattle.

The winner of the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Student Essay Award contest sponsored by the King County Civil Rights Commission will also be recognized during the event.

The region-wide 33rd annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration is Jan. 19, the observed holiday.

“Fight for Your Rights in 2015” is this year’s theme for the celebration, workshops, rally and march to commemorate Dr. King in King County.

Workshops will be held from 9 a.m. to 9:50 a.m. in classrooms at Garfield High School, 400 23rd Ave. at East Jefferson, Seattle.

A rally follows at 10 a.m., in the school’s gymnasium and a march will leave from the school at noon for a to be announced destination at 1:30, where an outdoor rally will commence.

The keynote speaker for this year’s event is Jelani Brown, of Ferguson, Mo., who was involved in organizing a response to the police killing of unarmed black teenage Michael Brown. Jelani will speak about his experiences growing up in the St. Louis area.

The additional evenings became a burden for some of the Salvation Army’s neighbors, because of the street traffic and an increase in crime, Potter said.

REACH is spreading the word through its programs to the homeless community and others about the change in location. The coalition’s third partner, Harambee, which offers a breakfast program, also is letting people know.

The coalition can use the chamber office in January and possibly February, Breen said. However, she

History plays role in how black youth feel about police

contrast to the demographics of Renton, where more than half the population is people of color.

“So what that does is it creates an environment where these young people already have stereotypes of white cops being crooked cops,” he said.

Cases like Michael Brown’s and Trayvon Martin’s only compound youth’s fears, Ezinkwo said, and he’s troubled by the frequency of them.

“So the issue of Ferguson could very well happen in Renton just because of how things are set up,” he said.

Of Renton’s 113 commissioned police officers, seven are black, 12 are Asian and two are Hispanic. The demographics for the department’s non-commissioned staff isn’t any more diverse. There are 30 total, with 24 white staff, two black, two Asian and two Hispanic staff members.

Renton Police Chief Kevin Milosevich has said it remains a problem for many departments nationwide to hire officers of color for various reasons. Not a lot of people of color are pursuing jobs on the force and the pay isn’t competitive with other professions, he said.

rooms and community centers before they hit the streets. What he sees is a “situation where both sides think they’re fighting and they’re going to keep fighting, when the only interaction they have is out in the open streets, if we don’t engage in healthy interactions between the police and our young people.”

The only exception to this rule is Renton High School’s School Resource Officer Jeff Reynolds, Ezinkwo said.

School resource officers are police officers assigned to cover the high schools and be accessible to all feeder schools to the high schools. Currently, the school district and the city are working to place school resource officers at all high schools. All three African Americans interviewed for this story cited Reynolds’ work as an example of positive community engagement.

“Every student in Renton trusts Officer Reynolds because Officer Reynolds is there with them in their school,” said Ezinkwo.

“Matter of fact, they don’t even think of him as an officer; they think of him as being there to balance things out.”

Officer Reynolds has a lot of credibility with the students because he “decided to go into the community and be a part of it versus just flying in,” Ezinkwo said.

Robinson remembers his days at Renton High and he considers Reynolds his friend.

The officer acted cool, calm and collected, Robinson said. Even if the student was a bad kid, Reynolds didn’t treat them like a convict or an enemy, he said.

“So yeah when they (police) ask me to do something, I always do it out of fear,” said Robinson. “Officer Reynolds, if he asked me to do something, it’d be out of respect and because I do know that he has my best interest at heart, which is totally different from how I view other police officers in the world.”

Ezinkwo said he has kids in his program who have punched officers in the face because they got pulled over for just being black.

“They’re upset. So to me, if the police wants peace, they need to walk a peaceful road,” he said. “But if their training tells them the first thing you do is get big, you go crazy on the kid, the kid’s gonna go crazy back on you.”

Healing a disconnection The lack of a more diverse array of officers seems to be creating a disconnect in the community. To Robinson, the Michael Brown case is important because “there were some ignorant people who thought racism was dead and prejudice was over.”

He thinks there is more that officers can do within the community to let people know that they care.

To Ezinkwo, it would be healthier if police officers interacted with kids in class-

Training Renton police officers do receive training specific to dealing with kids, according to Officer Robert Dreher, training coordinator for the department.

“We do conduct in-service training related to juveniles,” he said, in an email.

“Much of this training is regarding the social and mental health services that can assist officers in finding a placement resource, treatment/mental health program, or other [ more YOUTH page 5

A lack of trust “I think a fundamental issue that’s going on here is our young people, especially of color, they don’t trust the police,” said Celestine Ezinkwo.

Ezinkwo has worked with kids in his program for six years in Renton.

In that time, Ezinkwo has only encountered two black and one Asian police officer and so sees the local police force as predominantly white. This stands in sharp

Although police in Renton seem to be a little bit more attune to the city’s diverse population, Robinson said he feels a situation like the shooting death of Michael Brown by a Ferguson, Mo., police officer is possible anywhere.

Others who work with youth also agree that Renton has the potential for such a case and more can be done to foster better relationships between the police and communities of color.

Robinson hasn’t encountered police behaving “overly aggressive” in Renton, but he has in Tukwila. He’s been pulled over for mistaken identity and watched a friend get rough treatment for “flipping off.”

“I feel like police officers are kind of like, not robots, but they’re kind of like always on the edge,” said Robinson. “And I don’t know if it’s because they’re always afraid, but they’re always this close . . .,” he said, indicating a tiny inch with his fingers. “You almost have to make them feel as comfortable as possible. This is definitely coming from a man of color because I don’t feel white people have to do that.”

Robinson has learned from observing his community and his parents how to behave around the police. He does fear for his safety around cops. His fear is built on how he was raised, he said, and history, the history of police brutality in the AfricanAmerican community in general.

Houston, who grew up in Renton, was taught at an early age that the police aren’t your friends. He observed those same ideas among the young people he supports at the center after the Michael Brown incident.

“It’s just that they feel the police are racist and there’s no hope for them,” he said.

He thinks getting police and children of color to interact at an early age will lessen the tension all the way around.

“That thought that I’m black, you’re picking on me, it’s there,” Houston said. “It’s been planted there and there’s a reason that it’s been planted there. There’s old systems and they’re on the way out, but there’s still some that are in place.”

There’s still some institutional racism in our society, but it’s dwindling Houston said.

“It’s slowly changing. I’m not going to say it’s better because I can’t say that to Michael Brown’s mom or Trayvon Martin’s mom that it’s getting better, but there’s definitely progress in certain areas.”

The Renton Police Department engages the community through various programs, including their Citizen’s Academy, Neighborhood Watch Program, the City of Renton’s Neighborhood Program and their Graffiti Abatement Program, among others.

solution to an underlying causal factor of the juvenile’s behavior.”

Officers can also seek out voluntary youth-related training in addition to the in-service training that the receive.

Topics for this type of training include dealing with mental health issues, suicidal subjects, violent youth, youth sexual exploitation and gangs, among other topics.

School Resource Officer Reynolds has many years of school and youth specific training, “including active shooter response, suicidal youth, school safety training, terrorist response training, crisis intervention, youth sexual exploitation and trafficking, gang awareness, at-risk youth, and the Cops and Kids program,” said Dreher.

Reynolds is also a Youth Critical Incident Team trainer.

“I think our youth have a hard time because of history and in order for history to be re-done, we need to get in a room and tell a different story,” Ezinkwo said. “We need to meet each other, we need to hear from each other’s hearts to trust each other.”

The Renton Youth Advocacy Center is making headway in that direction.

Every year the Renton Police Department helps the center host its All-City Hoop Shoot. Police officers participate by cheering on the high school contestants and passing out prizes.

The event is to “let John Houston cops see that these are normal kids, just like a white kid; they’re the same and to let the kids know that cops, they’re not all bad,” said John Houston, RYAC executive director.

Houston supports the local police department and thinks that it is the most diverse department compared to the rest of City Hall. But, he said, more could be done to engage kids in the classroom and the community.

“I don’t know if Renton’s too big, but keeping a police officer in the same neighborhood, not always moving them to different areas of the city, so they get to know the kids,” Houston said, would be beneficial.

Police officers also stop by the center, which is located in Tiffany Park, to interact with students there.

Inslee wants to start conversation about big ideas Gov. Jay Inslee says he is approaching the upcoming session of the Legislature “very differently” than he did in his first two years as the state’s chief executive.

In 2014, he talked about the need to hold steady and allow the recession to recede enough for residents and businesses to begin righting themselves. He offered an array of policy ideas and nudged lawmakers to pass them. When they didn’t act on a transportation package he sounded politely frustrated. And when they left Olympia on time, he couldn’t contain his pleasure.

Inslee stopped holding steady in midDecember when he put forth arguably the largest — friends say boldest — taxand-spend proposal of any governor in state history.

His desire to inject billions of additional dollars into public schools and the transportation system and pay for it with proceeds of new taxes on carbon emissions and capital gains is the kind of stuff Inslee’s stoutest allies have been waiting to see from him since he took office.

Inslee’s natural political tendency is to launch big ideas to try to enlarge and extend the ideological playing field for social liberals and environmentalists. And he had done so with his “vision” for the state.

“We have a new suite of challenges,” he said in an interview Wednesday. “We have a plan to move the state forward and not fall behind.”

Inslee is smart enough to know it won’t be easy to get his ambitious agenda through a Republican-controlled Senate in its entirety, let alone with any of its signature pieces intact.

He says his ideas are intended to start a conversation with lawmakers so now he will be watched closely to see how he carries on the conversation. Inslee’s been criticized for not engaging deeply enough in the rigors of negotiating agreements and, when he does submerge himself it’s not as an arbiter or mediator, but as a partisan participant.

With two years under his belt, he’s expecting a different tack this session.

“I know legislators better,” he said. “Having longer relationships help.”

In the meantime, what transpires in this session will be part of the foundation on which the 2016 gubernatorial election will be conducted.

That adds an intriguing and different element to the session as well.

Inslee – and any Republican state lawmaker contemplating a challenge to the Democratic governor – will want to be viewed by the public as a uniting, not polarizing figure. Yet, at the same time, they can’t be tabbed as sellouts by the grassroots of their own parties.

There are those eyeing Inslee through the prism of politics and think he has the most to lose by what occurs this session. Some might even think it will make or break his chances at re-election.

SBA ready to help millennials jumpstart their futures, careers

BY CALVIN GOINGS

Millennials, born between 1980 and the mid2000s, are the largest generation in the United States, representing one-third of the total U.S. population in 2013. Millennials are a technologically connected and diverse generation.

Their unprecedented enthusiasm for technology has the potential to spark change in traditional economic institutions and the labor market.

The priority that millennials place on creativity and innovation make them an important economic engine for the U.S. economy. Millennials were born to be entrepreneurs.

In Region 10 we’re making millennial entrepreneurship interest a reality. With the help of Small Business Development Center (SBDC) counseling, millennial entrepreneur Nathan Graham Sleadd, was able to jumpstart his business, Sleaddadventures, LLC. Starting with annual sales of $100,000 in 2008, Sleaddadventures employs 7 full-time and 2 part-time employees and generates over $300,000 of payroll that cycles through the local economy.

Research shows that more than half of millennials are interested in starting their own

business. That’s why the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), recently announced the My Brother’s Keeper initiative for millennial entrepreneurs. It’s a new federal outreach and education campaign to help America’s millennials become what SBA calls “enterprise-ready”.

The My Brother’s Keeper initiative was launched to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by young people of color. The President’s new economic opportunity agenda for millennials creates new policies to support this generation, to ensure that all young people can overcome challenges and achieve their potential.

At the SBA, our message to millennials is clear. It’s a message of inclusion and possibility to help jump start their small business potential, wherever their talents and interests lie. Overall, we want to help millennials start, grow, and succeed as small business owners.

Entrepreneurship can be the answer if your question is “What’s next for me?” If you’re a potential millennial entrepreneur or know someone who is, visit www.sba.gov/young to learn more.

Calvin Goings is regional administrator of the Small Business Administration.

THE SEASON’S BEST MOMENTS, PLAYERS

BY JOHN BOYLE

‘Beast Mode’

Everett Herald columnist

SEATTLE — While eight teams opened the NFL postseason this weekend, the Seahawks kicked their feet up and enjoyed the games from home.

It’s a pretty surprising position for the Seahawks to be in considering how the 2014 season started. The Seahawks struggled at times on the way to a 3-3 start, they dealt with drama, reports of locker room unrest and the surprising Percy Harvin trade, then later dropped another game to fall to 6-4, putting them three games out of first place in the division with six games remaining.

If anything, it seemed like the only way the Seahawks would be off this weekend is if they were to miss the playoffs altogether, but thanks to a dramatic turnaround and a six-game winning streak to end the season, Seattle is once again the NFC West champ and the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC, meaning a weekend off and home-field advantage in the playoffs.

Let’s take a look back some of the key players and moments from the 2014 season.

MVP: QB Russell Wilson Russell Wilson’s passing numbers don’t compare with the league’s top quarterbacks, but his importance to the Seahawks is still impossible to overstate. When you factor in Wilson’s 849 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns along with his 3,475 passing yards and 20 touchdown passes, few players in the NFL account for more offensive production. And perhaps most importantly to Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Wilson rarely turns the ball over, throwing just seven interceptions despite being under more duress than just about any NFL quarterback.

Offensive player of the year: RB Marshawn Lynch Would it be a cop-out to acknowledge both Lynch and QB Russell Wilson?

Maybe, but both deserve recognition.

While Wilson may be the most irreplaceable player on the team, Lynch, who rushed for 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns in the regular season, was Seattle’s best offensive player. He set the tone with his physical running style and also contributed a careerhigh 376 receiving yards and four touchdown catches. This was arguably the best season of Lynch’s decorated career.

Defensive player of the year: LB Bobby Wagner On the one hand, missing five games should count against Wagner, but on the other hand, the way Seattle’s defense improved after his return from a toe injury only underscored how good he was this season. With Wagner back, the Seahawks closed out the regular season by giving up a total of 39 points in their last six games — a big reason Wagner was named first-team All Pro despite missing nearly a third of the season. This award could probably go to safety Earl Thomas every year — he’s that important to the defense — but Wagner deserves recognition for a spectacular season.

Rookie of the year: WR Paul Richardson For most of the season, this was Justin Britt’s award by default, because the 16-game starter at right tackle was the

BREAKDOWN HEAD

Lynch is known for his physical play, but he is also a player offensive-line coach Tom Cable described as one of the most intelligent he has ever coached.

EYES

Every running back needs vision, and the best ones, like Lynch, can recognize where a hole is going to be before it opens.

Of course, that doesn’t keep Lynch from occasionally running into contact — seemingly on purpose.

W

hen the Seattle Seahawks acquired Marshawn Lynch in 2010, they didn’t just get a running back, they got an identity. Over the past five seasons, Lynch has not only been one of the NFL’s best backs, he has also helped define the physical, smash-mouth style that brought Seattle its first Super Bowl title.

Here’s a look at what makes Lynch special.

MOUTH

Lynch’s silence has become a story in the past two years, as he prefers to let his game do the talking.

This also is where the Skittles go.

HANDS

In addition to hanging onto the ball as a runner, Lynch has used his hands to secure a career-high 367 receiving yards and four touchdown catches this season.

STOMACH

ARM

Few running backs, if any, deliver as nasty a stiff-arm as Lynch. It’s a weapon that helps him turn good runs into great ones. Just ask former Saints cornerback Tracy Porter about it.

Lynch missed the first quarter of Seattle’s win in Arizona because of an upset stomach, and it has been an issue at other times as well, though never to the point that he missed a game.

BACK

Lynch regularly misses practice because of a balky back, although it has only caused him to miss one game since joining the Seahawks. How long his back holds up could determine how long he is a productive running back.

LEGS

The engines that give Lynch his rare power as a runner have carried him to 1,306 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns this season. Lynch’s legs don’t just provide power, they always keep churning, even when he appears to be stopped.

FEET

As much as Lynch is known for his bruising power, he’s surprisingly nimble. Head coach Pete Carroll compared Lynch to a slalom skier because of his quick feet, which help him avoid tacklers and find open running lanes.

as spectacular a run on their résumé as the one Lynch pulled off in Arizona last month, yet for him that 79-yard score likely wasn’t even No. 1 on his list thanks to his 67-yarder against New Orleans in the 2010 playoffs. Whichever run you prefer, both showed off so many attributes that make Lynch such a spectacular player: power, speed, agility, and perhaps most important, determination.

Best play, defense: Earl Thomas’ touchdown-saving forced fumble against St. Louis While Thomas tried to downplay the significance of the fumble he forced just inches from the goal line in last week’s game against the Rams, cornerback Richard Sherman called it colossal, and Pete Carroll said it was one of the plays of the year. Perhaps more important than the play itself — the Seahawks were up two scores in the fourth quarter — was what it symbolized about Thomas and the Seahawks, who fought to the last inch on the play.

Best addition by subtraction: Trading Percy Harvin to the New York Jets The Seahawks shocked the NFL by discarding one of the league’s most talented players early in the season, but in the end it was probably one of the most important moves of the year, and not just because of the reported off-field issues Harvin presented. Without Harvin, the Seahawks got back to their offensive philosophy and, as Carroll put it, “rediscovered the things that have been good to us that we had just fallen out of somewhat. It helped us in many ways.”

Quote of the year: “Be ready, bro, we’re going to shock you.” — S Earl Thomas When the Seahawks beat Arizona Nov. 23 to start a six-game winning streak, no one outside of the team knew yet just how dramatically they had turned things around. Sure Seattle had just knocked off the Cardinals, but Arizona was playing with a backup quarterback, and the Seahawks still had a tough schedule ahead, starting with a Thanksgiving game at San Francisco. Thomas, however, knew what was coming, saying before that Thanksgiving game, “Don’t be surprised, man. I don’t want to start talking, but be ready, bro, we’re going to shock you. We’re going to shock you.”

Most important snack food: Sunflower seeds During a November walk-through practice, safety Earl Thomas saw teammates eating sunflower seeds and lost it. He later admitted it was silly, but the confrontation grew heated at the time — Thomas thought the unnamed teammates should be taking the practice more seriously — and eventually led to team meeting in which players cleared the air and found an element of trust that was missing. “If you can play this game with love, with trust and commitment to each other, that’s probably the hardest thing for anybody to stop,” wide receiver Doug Baldwin said a few days later after the first of six straight wins. Maybe Seattle finishes strong without that blowup and subsequent meeting, but we’ll never know for sure.

Student arrested for possessing drugs at school The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

An 18-year-old senior at Hazen High School admitted he sold drugs to fellow students when he was arrested at school Dec. 3.

Staff members told a school official the senior was acting unusually during the day, leading them to believe he was under the influence of a drug or narcotic.

Police officers were called after the school official observed the same behavior and discovered pills in the student's belongings during a search allowed under school rules.

The student had a prescription for some but not all of the pills. A white powder suspected to be MXE or methoxetamine, a controlled substance. Four other pills were controlled substances, too.

The student also had large bag full of clear plastic pill capsules. He also had

metal knuckles for protection if someone tried to steal his drugs.

Most of the pills were his, but he admitted to selling pills to fellow students.

In this case, he planned to fill the empty pill capsules with MXE and sell them for $5 each.

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of possession of a controlled substance.

PARENTS FINALLY SHOW UP: For more than 15 minutes, an assistant manager at Wal-Mart on Rainier Avenue kept watch over a 3-year-old child left alone sleeping Dec. 19 in a shopping cart, with no parents around.

She pushed the car to Will Call but didn't announce the missing child over the PA out of concern that someone other than his parents would claim him.

Finally, and after an officer arrived, the child's father presented himself. The parents had become separated and thought the other was watching the kids.

The father, who spoke broken English, didn't seem concerned and didn't seem to grasp the risk the child was in, including being abducted or wandering off.

The case was to be forward to Child Protective Services.

Friends started a GoFundMe website to raise funds for Dylan’s medical expenses.

As of Wednesday, $13,723 were raised in 19 hours by 302 people.

“He was there to attack me, to kill me,” Avila said. “He went for the head shots and he would have kept swinging.”

Kickoff for the NFC Divisional Playoff game is 5:15 p.m. Saturday at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.

The importance and role of the fans was reiterated by Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in his post-game comments after the team’s victory over the St. Louis Rams, clinching the NFC West and locking up the NFC No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

“You get to play in front of the 12s, the best fans in the National Football League, and the best fans in the world, I believe,” said Wilson. “We’re going to need them, like we have all year, and we’re going to need their excitement and their energy around the city and in the stadium, obviously, too.”

The team has re-launched the “I’m In!” website inviting fans from around the world to “tap in” and demonstrate their support, according to a Seahawks press release. The site displays top cities that participate on a world map in real time.

New for this year’s playoff run, the website allows fans to view a full archive of tap ins and share an exclusive, Seahawks themed badge on their social media

channels. Fans are invited to “tap in” at Seahawks.com/ImIn. Fans can make their own – download the sign at Seahawks.com/ImIn – or pickup a complimentary one while supplies last at The Seahawks Pro Shop retail stores at CenturyLink Field, downtown Seattle, Renton Landing, Alderwood Mall, Bellevue Square and Tacoma Mall.

In addition to their usual channels, teachers can now share how their students are exhibiting Seahawks pride via a new web page, according to the Seahawks.

Teachers can upload their photos and stories at www.seahawks.com/12sInEducation.

A few schools will be featured each week on the team’s website and social media channels.

Sound Transit is offering special Sounder trains to the Seahawks playoff, in addition to regular Link light rail service to and from the stadium.

Want to breathe easier?

Add some houseplants to your indoor rooms. Living plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen and many varieties add the benefit of removing pollutants from the air as the Marianne Binetti

Boeing employees helped the company set a record for the most commercial airplanes delivered in a single year at 723 in 2014, breaking the company record for a second consecutive year.

The company’s sales team also booked 1,432 net orders, carrying a value of $232.7 billion at list prices, breaking the previous all-time high set in 2007.

Boeing’s unfilled commercial orders stood at 5,789 at the end of the year – also a new company all-time high.

“I’m extremely proud of the entire Boeing team, and all of the hard work that went into delivering and selling a record number of commercial airplanes this past year,” said Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner.

All three Boeing Commercial Airplanes production sites – Everett and Renton, Wash. and North Charleston, S.C. – each set new site records for airplane deliveries.

In 2014, three individual commercial programs achieved notable milestones, each a single-year record: -- 737 program delivered 485 of the popular singleaisle airplanes -- 777 program delivered 99 airplanes -- 787 program delivered 114 Dreamliners, including the first -- 787-9 to launch customer Air New Zealand and first direct deliveries to 13 airline customers Of the 1,432 net commercial orders Boeing booked in 2014, the Next-Generation 737 and 737 MAX led the way with 1,104 orders, followed by the 777 and 777X with 283 orders.

Boeing continues to bring new products and services to the market, including the launch of the 737 MAX 200 in September, a variant based on the successful 737 MAX 8.

“In the face of fierce competition, we had a strong year,” said Conner. “In 2015 we’ll remain focused on meeting our customer commitments, and prepare for key milestones on our development programs, including the start of assembly of the first 737 MAX and firm configuration for the 777X.”

A primer for healthy houseplants

produce oxygen.

Here’s the primer on healthy houseplants: What houseplants are hardest to kill?

Old favorites such as dumb cane (dieffenbachia) pathos, parlor palms and snake plant (sanseveria) adapt to the low light and low humidity of indoor rooms. A great tip is to notice what green plants survive in public spaces such as the dark corners of waiting rooms or in the windows of office buildings.

These are the houseplants that will also survive in homes.

Which houseplants are the most difficult to grow?

Over the years I get the

most complaints about weeping figs that drop leaves, gardenias that become infested with mites and jade plants that turn soft and floppy. (Most often jade plants droop from too much water and not enough light.)

What does it mean if the tips of the leaves on a houseplant turn brown or black and die off?

Leaf tips die back from too much water (don’t let the roots sit in drainage water) not enough sunlight, too low of humidity or too much fertilizer. In other words there are many reasons but over watering is the most common.

What if only the older or lower leaves of a houseplant fall off?

Leaf drop especially on older plants can signal not enough water, not enough sunlight, compacted soil or a plant that has grown too large for its pot. Repotting is the solution that can solve many of these problems.

What causes a sticky substance to form on the leaves of houseplants?

That would be residue from insects. Aphids, mites, scale and white fly all leave

a sticky film on their host plant. (Think of this film as insect manure.) Hand washing each leaf with a mild soap and water helps destroy many of these insects but eggs will hatch and the colony will reappear if you don’t continue with the soap and water treatment every few weeks.

Consider adding infested houseplants to the compost pile.

What causes the leaves on my houseplants to turn yellow or pale in color?

Mites are most often the culprit as these tiny invaders suck the juice from the foliage and multiply quickly on stressed out houseplants that are too dry. Lack of fertilizer, underwatering and indoor air pollution will also turn foliage pale.

What if entire leaves are missing or chewed off and the plant has no insects and has never been outdoors?

Blame your cat or dog.

Why do flower buds form and then never open and drop off?

Bud blast occurs when potted plants throw a fit because you let them dry out or move them away from their light source just

as they are about to give birth to new flowers. An infestation of mites, thrips or white fly will also cause buds to fall as many plants refuse to bloom when under attack by insect invaders.

What houseplant produces the most flowers with the least amount of problems?

I give my vote to the humble African violet.

All they need is a bright window, and moist soil and they will bloom on and off all year long. You can group several blooming African violets onto a tray for a centerpiece, display a collection lined up on a windowsill or set a potted violet into a basket or bowl with other houseplants to create a living dish garden.

You must keep the soil moist but not wet. Bloom inducing tip: When you boil and egg, used the cool, salt free water to water your African violets. The calcium that leaches into the cooking water from the egg shell will encourage blooms on African violets.
