City down, but county up in One Night Count Annual count of homeless population finds 79 in Renton

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Every January, teams of volunteers spend a night fanned out across the region trying to get an accurate count of the number of people dealing with homelessness and though the overall number of people living on the streets of King County increased greatly this year, Renton actually saw a small decrease in its number.

This year, in the early morning hours of Jan. 23, volunteers with the Committee to End Homelessness counted 79 people living outside in our city. In total, volunteers found 3,772 people living outside in King County.

Last year, the count found 96 in Renton and a total of 3,123 in King County.

North Renton home shines for Seahawks

Kel Klink may not consider himself a ‘superfan’ but he does have his car and house decorated in Seahawks colors and is ready for the big game. BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter

Kelvin “Kel” Klink does not consider himself a Seahawks “Superfan,” but one look at his house, car or his Sunday uniform of jersey, luchador mask and helmet and one might disagree.

Since Christmas, Klink’s North Renton home has been lit up in Seahawks-colored lights that blare his loyalties into the night, along with flags and an inflatable Seahawks figure.

It’s the second year he’s had the house decorated for the season, the football season, that is. But Klink is no bandwagon-jumper. He got his first pair of season tickets about 15 years ago and he and his son

attend every game, with Kel donning the mask and helmet, of course.

Klink said he’s been a Seahawks fan since moving to the area for work in the late 1970s, when the team was still young, though he only started the Seahawks lights a few years ago. Before that, he said he used red and gold lights in support of his son’s then-high school colors, but realized when he was switching from incandescent to LED lights that he was actually lining his house with the colors of the rival San Francisco 49ers.

“And I can’t have that!” he said Along with his Hawk-themed home, Klink also has a 1978 Porsche 911 Targa that has been decorat[ more HOUSE page 10 ]

City celebrates Ann Grinolds Day

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Earlier this month, Mayor Denis Law proclaimed Jan. 14, 2015, as Ann Grinolds Day. So who, pray tell, is Ann Grinolds? Well you might recognize her face as one of the women behind Renton’s City Hall Information Desk.

As a longtime volunteer, Grinolds has spent approximately 8,600 hours in the last 30 years greeting visitors and staff, with her “special brand of warmth, sense of humor and personality,” the proclamation stated.

Grinolds on Jan. 19 celebrated her 94th birthday and City of Renton officials honored her at the Jan. 12 City Council meeting.

Grinolds was born in London and is a World War II survivor of the German blitzkrieg on London from 1940 to 1941. She met her husband, an American solider, and moved to Renton in 1953. All six of her children graduated from Renton High School.

She stumbled upon the volunteer position one day on a visit to City Hall, when she asked a woman

Ann Grinolds of Renton was honored by the City of Renton for her community service on her 94th birthday. Submitted. there what she does. She’s been volunteering ever since.

“It seems like it’s one big family there,” said Grinolds of City Hall.

“Everybody knows me, everybody likes me and I liked the job, meeting people.”

Grinolds did not attend the reading of her proclamation, however, because she is afraid of heights and won’t go above the third floor

of any building. Grinolds said in an interview that she suffers from “shell shock” from during World War II, after her house in London was bombed and she was thrown “two blocks down the street.”

So terrifying is her fear of heights that she’s never been on an airplane, choosing instead to cross the Atlantic three times on the Queen Mary ocean liner.

Grinolds was overwhelmed by the attention from the city and thought it was wonderful of Mayor Law to recognize her, she said.

The city commended her for her service and for being a four-time heart attack survivor and 64-year breast cancer survivor during her time with the city.

“Whereas, Ann’s resilience and indestructibility kept her going through these crises and she still refuses to give up at age 94 and continues to make a positive impact on our city’s history and our lives…,” read City Clerk Jason Seth.

Calling her his friend, council member Don Persson remarked on Grinolds strength as he sees her walk down to the bottom of the hill in their neighborhood almost everyday.

Council member Greg Taylor mentioned her beautiful smile, heart-warming and very compassionate nature.

“If you haven’t met Ann Grinolds, you just haven’t met one of the most wonderful human beings on the planet,” Taylor said. “She is that and more.”

Renton middle and high school students recently competed in the FIRST Tech Challenge robotics competition.

The students from Dimmitt, McKnight and Nelsen middle schools and Hazen and Renton high schools used engineering principles and real-world math and science skills to design, build and program their robots. Five teams of Renton students competed against other regional teams.

The teams will compete again this weekend at the final FIRST Tech Challenge competition at Kent ShoWare Center, 625 W. James St., Kent. The event is free and

open to the public.

More than 1,200 students from grades fourth through 12th, from across the state will be competing. The FIRST Lego League will also be competing this weekend at the same venue in Kent.

Robotics courses and teams are part of the district’s work to improve student knowledge and skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and help improve problem solving skills, technological literacy and develop problem-solving, organizational, and teambuilding skills.

‘Deflategate’helps us remember the purity of sports Everyone ready for the big game this Sunday?

I have to tell you, after watching this season and especially that amazing NFC Championship comeback, I don’t know how anyone in the country could not love this team.

And given that the Patriots were literally caught breaking the rules during their championship game, I am not sure how anyone in the country not born and raised in Boston could be rooting for anyone but the Seahawks.

Let’s clear the air: I’ve admitted it here before, but I am not actually a Seahawks fan. My family hails from Philadelphia and because of that, all my sports loyalties lay solidly with the City of Brotherly Love.

(By the way, it was that Seahawks game that crushed the Eagles’ spirit this year. After Seattle stomped them a new one, the Igs seemed to give up. It was like they saw the best, realized they were not going to beat them and figured they might as well hit the links after 16 instead of just losing in the playoffs. …)

That said, it’s been hard not to get on the Seahawks bandwagon these past few years.

The team is not only good, but likable and filled with fun personalities.

From the way Richard Sherman openly challenges the NFL and the media to Russell Wilson’s humble but intense presence to Marshawn Lynch’s just-here-so-I-don’t-getfined (he said that 29 times on Monday) appearances to the way every single player and coach speaks about and treats the fans, this team is hard not to like.

Meanwhile, the Patriots come off like corporate football at its finest. They’re like a machine. It’s like rooting for IBM. Then this whole “Deflategate” thing happened.

Again, I am not a Colts fan, nor am I a Seahawks fan. However, I am a sports fan and a football fan and man who appreciates a decent wager (by the way, the Captain America - Starlord bet over Twitter is the best thing I’ve heard in a while…) and as all of those things, I cannot tolerate a team trying to break the rules to get an unfair advantage.

That’s cheating. Period. It can’t be allowed to stand.

As a journalist with a history degree, however, I am not opposed to the name “Deflategate.” In fact, I think it’s kind of perfect.

In the past, I have complained about the use of the “-gate” suffix as a catch-all for scandals. I have also complained a lot about people comparing nothing scandals to Watergate. I have always said that if you are comparing, say, Benghazi to Watergate, you probably have no idea what actually happened at Watergate or why it was important.

But in this case, the comparison works better than any usage since, well, the original.

Hear me out: [ more EDITOR’S NOTE page 5 ]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR We’re on the road to respecting everyone I would like to thank the Renton Reporter for the article on our recent MLK Jr. event and commend you for the series “Could Ferguson Happen Here?”

I also just finished reading the article by Police Chief Milosevich with great interest. I was glad to hear his replies and believe he is on the right track to making sure Renton is a place where something like Ferguson could never happen.

Frank and honest discussion in a public arena is necessary if we are to avoid misunderstandings that lead to mistrust and worse. The chief speaks frankly and we are fortunate to have a police force that adheres to high standards of conduct. Situations like Ferguson don’t just happen overnight. They are the result of years of rage simmering beneath the surface.

As Langston Hughes wrote in his poem “Harlem”:

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore -And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over -like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

I hope people see that your article, Chief Milosevich’s editorial, even our MLK Jr. event were only a beginning of what our city needs. What is needed is a continued public dialogue that is void of blaming and accusing but that attempts to evaluate our city’s racial climate in a way that is honest and constructive.

I hope the Reporter will continue to provide a forum where we are able to communicate across racial lines the issues that are facing Renton. [ more LETTER page 5 ]

They ask: ‘What can I do to help?’

What makes one person give back regularly to the community and another one hold back?

Are they wired differently? Perhaps they see something the rest of us don’t. Or perhaps they just instinctively know that giving back enriches their own lives as much as it does the recipient of their thoughtfulness.

Albert Pike said, “What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.”

I can guarantee that immortality is not the goal of those who consistently give of their time, talent and treasure to make this world a better place. In fact, most often, these philanthropists don’t seek the limelight. They merely seek to do

good.

But if we bestow honor on those who stand tall amongst us, might we inspire others to join their ranks and give back more often?

The Renton Community Foundation believes that to be so.

Therefore, on Feb. 12, the Foundation will induct the first members into the League of Extraordinary Givers at “CELEBRATE! The Love of Community,” a public event at the Renton Lynn Bohart

www.rentonreporter.com Pavilion Event Center. The goal is to shine a light on philanthropy and all it does for our community and to honor the selfless dedication of a number of individuals and organizations that make life better for those less fortunate.

There are four major categories of awards.

The “Lifetime of Giving Award” will go to five individuals who have spent decades, not only making cash contributions, but stepping up to sit on nonprofit boards, join committees and task forces, and even roll up their sleeves to volunteer on the front lines.

This year’s inductees include Alex “What we have and Norma Cugini, King Parker, done for ourselves Marcie Maxwell and Pat Auten. alone dies with us; Their combined acts of kindness what we have done have contributed to everything for others and the from the arts, to the homeless, to world remains and at-risk kids, to struggling families, is immortal.” and even kids who need help to Albert Pike graduate. Individually, they have made major commitments to multiple organizations and been instrumental in making an impact on the future of one or more of those organizations and the clients they serve.

The “Patron of the Year Award” is being awarded to Dale Walker, owner of Walker’s Renton Subaru, who helped to raise $24,000 for the Friends of Renton Schools in 2014 through Subaru’s “Share the Love” event.

Meegan Prince will receive the “Rising Star Award” for her efforts in launching The Next Curve, a giving circle comprised of younger professionals who give time, talent and treasure to help the community.

Two “Public Spirit Awards” will be given out this year.

The first will go to RotaCare, a collaboration between Renton Rotary, Valley Medical Center and Renton Salvation

“Watergate” was about a president who was going to win anyway (by a lot) breaking the law to try and get a competitive advantage over his opponent.

“Deflategate” is about a team that was probably going to win anyway (by a lot) breaking the rules of fair competition to try and gain an advantage over their opponent.

I mean, if the shoe fits...

But no matter, like Watergate, any punishment will come after the Super Bowl/elec“The Patriots come tion is already decided and even off like corporate if the Pats win, you can bet that football at its all the scores, stats and records finest. They’re like will still stand. a machine. It’s like Nixon still gets to say he won rooting for IBM.” two terms as president, after all.

But the NFL needs to address this in a similar way. This scandal gets directly to the heart of competition in the NFL, right at the idea that each team gets a fair shot and the best team will win.

And again, the better team did win. Shoot, with properly inflated balls they still outscored the Colts 28-0. Which is why this is so infuriating.

Cheating is bad enough, but cheating when you don’t have to? That’s being a bully too.

And I don’t suffer bullies and cheaters. Or Nixon.

These issues are not only black and white. They include Hispanics, Asians, immigrants and I’m sure many other racial, cultural, religious and social groups that feel marginalized, neglected, overlooked and at times dehumanized.

While the focus and the emphasis needed may change, the effort should always be the same, to make all people know that they are welcomed in Renton and will be treated with dignity and respect.

Mayor Denis Law has expressed a desire to hold a forum of some sort that will help to facilitate racial dialogue. Hopefully you will be at the table as well

The second award will be given to Karen Bergsvik, Human Services manager for the City of Renton, who has been a major force, both on and off the job, helping the homeless in our area.

It was George Burns who said, “When you stop giving and offering something to the rest of the world, it’s time to turn out the lights.”

I doubt any of these awardees will be turning out the lights any time soon. These awards do not signify the end of their philanthropic journey. For these are the gooddeed-doers of the first order.

[ EDITOR’S NOTE from page 4]

Dominic Joseph Colasurdo was born March 10, 1925. He was first generation from Marrone, Italy from where his parents Michaelangelo and Emanuela Colasurdo immigrated.

The family ran a poultry farm in Burien where they raised chickens and sold eggs at the Seattle Public Market. When Dominic was 17, he bought 120 acres in May Valley, a rural area in Renton.

He began a successful dairy farm on the property, building his own barn in 1949 which is now “The Red Barn” and in Washington’s Heritage Barn registry. From the dairy business, he went on to co-own Hillcrest Bowl in Renton. In 1970 he opened Hi-Land Realty and developed communities Briarwood and Briar Hills.

Dominic was an avid vegetable gardener; his knowledge and skill level producing prolific vegetable gardens each year that his family very much enjoyed. Our “Poppie” was a gentle and kind husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. Family and friends came first for Dominic, along with his love for the Catholic Church. He was a longtime member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Issaquah and gave generously to Catholic charities.

He passed away on January 20, 2015, at home surrounded by family. He was greatly loved and will be greatly missed. He is survived by daughters Janet Norton, Judi Peterson, and Mary Celigoy; granddaughters Gayle Davis, Michele Streitberger, Britta Peterson, Sequoia Nelson, and Sally Celigoy; great grandchildren Amelia and Sophia Davis, and Nic and Stella Streitberger.

Services held for Dominic on January 26, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Issaquah and laid to rest at Greenwood Memorial Funeral Park in Renton. Family lovingly suggests remembrances be made to Catholic Community Services.

Arraignment postponed in assault on Renton comedian tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The King County Prosecutor’s Office postponed the Jan. 22 arraignment of the man accused of assaulting a comedian in Renton so that the suspect can undergo a mental health evaluation.

Steven Joseph Baldwin, 48, was charged with first-degree assault in the beating of Dylan Avila-Petitt, a local comedian, on Jan. 5 at the Local 907 pub.

A competency hearing is now scheduled for Feb. 11 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Baldwin remains in custody on $250,000

bail. The evaluation will take place in the King County Jail.

After undergoing brain surgery for two skull fractures and a split left ear, AvilaPetitt is expected to make a full recovery.

He was at his home in Des Moines earlier this week recovering with family.

“I’m doing pretty good, just trying to take it kind of day by day and take it easy,” Avila-Petitt said.

He still can’t drive because he suffers from vertigo and now he’s just trying to heal from a concussion he suffered as a result of the incident.

“I don’t have a lot of strength and stamina yet; there’s not a lot of endurance,”

he said. “So, I’m just trying to build that back up.”

The comedian has been back on stage performing recently with Craig Gass and others at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle. It was a fun evening for Avila-Petitt, who was presented with a baseball helmut and other Mariners memorabilia from Rick Rizzs, the lead radio voice of the team.

“There was no fear of getting on stage,” said Avila-Petitt. “I was excited, anxious.”

Since the ordeal, he has been at home resting, in between jobs as a contract worker for Microsoft. He thinks Baldwin, his attacker, is a horrible comedian and had a few choice words to describe Baldwin’s swings at his head with a baseball bat.

Prior to the incident at the Local 907, Avila-Petitt had asked Baldwin not to perform his comedy skit with a Bible and a dildo again because he thought it was in bad taste. Police believe this was Baldwin’s motive for returning to the open mic night at the pub and assaulting Avila-Petitt.

He’s glad Baldwin is locked away and he said he doesn’t really have much of an opinion of Baldwin.

the suspect. She thinks he was unstable and had no business on the street.

“I’m very disappointed that this individual was on the streets,” she said. “He had prior felonies and was mentally unstable.

If there was better support, resources and systems in place this situation could have been avoided.”

Baldwin has previous counts of malicious mischief in the third degree as well as criminal convictions for conveying false information regarding explosives and threats against the President and reckless endangerment.

As for the comedian, Avila-Petitt still considers Renton home. He grew up in Skyway and attended Renton High School.

He’s going to continue to host open mic night every Monday at 9:30 p.m. at the Local 907. He doesn’t know if there will be any long-term issues from his concussion, but he’s optimistic about the future.

“It’s in the past; I’m about moving forward and I can’t control what has happened,” Avila-Petitt said. “All I can control is where I’m going from here.”

He does plan to follow the trial closely and participate when needed.

Let’s do it again! ...Go Seahawks

A tale of two quarterbacks: More alike than you might think

BY RICH MYHRE Herald Writer

SUPER BOWL XLIX

At first glance, there is little resemblance between Tom Brady of the New England Patriots and Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks, the two starting quarterbacks in Super Bowl XLIX. At 6 feet 4 inches, Brady is 5 inches taller than Wilson. At 37, Brady is also 11 years older than Wilson. But there is also a difference in style, with Brady a prototype pocket passer and Wilson a threat to throw on rollouts and even scramble for additional yards as a nimble runner.

For all these reasons, no one is likely to confuse Brady and Wilson in Sunday’s NFL championship game.

But for all the differences, there are similarities, too. Certainly in terms of their careers, with the regular-season statistics for Brady’s first three years as a starter (his second, third and fourth NFL seasons) very closely matching Wilson’s numbers in his first three seasons.

Brady, who played at Michigan before becoming a sixth-round draft pick in 2000, has a modest edge in passing attempts, completions and yards, while Wilson, who attended Wisconsin before being drafted in the third round in 2012, has a slight edge in completion percentage and touchdowns, while also throwing fewer interceptions.

The records of the two teams are also very close for those same three seasons.

Brady led his team to a combined 34-14

The Seattle Seahawks play the New England Patriots at 3:30 p.m.

Sunday on NBC. regular-season mark and two Super Bowl titles between 2001-03, while the Seahawks under Wilson are 36-12 with one Super Bowl championship and another still up for grabs.

“They have the commonality of being two guys that are great winners,” said Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. “Tom has had a long time to prove that. Russell is at the early stages of proving that to the world, but I think he’s got a chance to be similar.”

Indeed, others say, what unites Brady and Wilson goes beyond raw numbers.

The two quarterbacks are alike in their inner drive and in a steadfast determination to help their teams win.

“Both guys are leaders, and the other similarity they both have is their heart, which you cannot coach,” said Lawyer Milloy, a former All-Pro safety who was Brady’s teammate for the latter’s first two NFL seasons. “(Brady and Wilson) both have a passion, a desire and a will to prove something,” added Milloy, a former University of Washington player from Tacoma who is retired from football and is back in the Puget Sound area where he has a chance to watch Wilson play every week.

Let’s do it again! ...Go Seahawks [ QBS from page 7]

Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell agrees. Asked for similarities between Brady and Wilson, Bevell said “the first thing that comes to my mind is they’re both winners. Tom Brady has won in this league for a long long time, and Russell is only in his third year and he’s been winning pretty well in his own right.

“I think both them are ultimate competitors. They almost will their teams to victories in many different ways,” Bevell said.

Carl Smith, Seattle’s quarterbacks coach, has obviously spent a lot of time with Wilson in his three Seahawks seasons. Likewise, Smith came close to coaching Brady, having been with Carroll when he was New England’s head coach. Carroll and Smith left the Patriots a few months before Brady was drafted in 2000.

When it comes to common traits for Brady and Wilson, Smith said, “the first thing that comes to mind is that they’re both in the Super Bowl, and that’s a big one. They’ve both been very successful and they’ve both won since they started playing. They were both instant winners in the NFL. “They obviously have different styles and they run different offenses,” Smith said, “but they’re both really good in their offenses.

And they both have the drive to be great.”

What is the best way to steer clear of the flu?

“If you haven’t already been vaccinated, it isn’t too late!

Protection lasts throughout the flu season, which usually peaks in January or February and continues into the spring,” says Seattle & King County Public Health.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, hospitalization rates for flu have risen to 92 per 100,000 people this season, primarily due to the H3N2 strain. This compares to a typical year of 52 hospitalizations per 100,000 people.

“Even though one of the prevalent strains this year, H3N2, is less well covered by the vaccine, the vaccine does cover the other three strains very well and will likely lessen the severity of H3N2. So it’s worth it to get the vaccine,” says Leticia Maragh, MD, a primary care physician at VMC’s Newcastle Clinic.

What should I do if I think I’m getting the flu?

If you think you’re getting the flu, see your doctor as soon as possible to get an antiviral medication such as Tamiflu or Relenza. These can help reduce flu severity and the length of time you’re sick.

Then stay home. Drink lots of fluids, rest and treat your

lessness as a crisis and not a given,” CEH Director Mark Putnam said in a press release. “All of us, our entire community, must rally together if we are to end homelessness, and today’s count gives us new data on the enormity of our challenge.”

In Renton, volunteers included members of the administration, City Council, staff and average citizens, all of whom gave up their night to search for those in need.

Volunteer Stuart Avery said he was hopeful this year because the numbers in the area he counted - the west side of Rainier Avenue - decreased for the second year in a row, but because the overall numbers told a different story he thinks perhaps it was just construction that chased people from traditional areas for overnight parking or camping. He said his area traditionally has the highest count in the city - and did again this year - even if

there were fewer people to be counted.

“The grim reality this year was that my areas reduction was not the norm, and that the overall count regionally was up 20 percent over last year,” Avery said.

While Avery has volunteered for four years now, this year was the first that Councilman Armondo Pavone volunteered for the count and he called it “pretty eye-opening stuff.”

“Walking into neighbor-

hoods and finding people but the scene felt “really out sleeping in cars of place” and he under blankets; “It’s one thing to talk said that image it’s always starabout homelessness, will stay with tling to see that,” it’s another thing to him a while. he said.

“It’s one thing actually see it.”

A sprinkler system extinguished a fire at a Renton apartment complex Tuesday night before it could spread, according to Renton Fire and Emergency Services Department.

The call came in at 8:06 p.m. as an activated fire alarm at the Benson Downs Apartments, 11000 S.E. Petrovitsky Road.

No one was injured, but three families were displaced from their water-damaged apartments, according to Renton Deputy Fire Chief Chad Michael. The American Red Cross responded to assist them.

Four units suffered water damage, with the unit where the fire started the most affected by water and some fire, according to Michael.

The fire was started by flower-shaped decorative lights resting on the carpeted floor in the dining area, he said.

Fire crews didn’t need to deploy their firefighting equipment but helped clean up the water damage. Two engines, one ladder truck and two aid units responded to the fire.

Michael stressed that the sprinkler system kept the fire in check. A damage amount wasn’t immediately available. try and end homelessness both in Renton and the region in general.

“It definitely makes you see things differently,” Pavone said. “Even though you know it’s out there, it’s a different thing to be out there at 3 a.m. and see someone sleeping in a car.”

Both he and Avery said it gave them a sense of how quickly things can go wrong for anyone.

“Regardless of the seem-

ingly strong economic recovery, the 20 percent increase in the overall numbers should be a clear sign that recovery isn’t across the board, and that we must look at funding solutions,” Avery said. “If as a region, we can pour tens of millions into a tunneling project in Seattle, can’t we find a way to fund basic human needs like food and shelter for the most vulnerable?”

fever with acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

Those over age 65 are at higher risk of complications from flu. Warning signs of possible complications include a cough that disrupts sleep, a fever that doesn’t come down with treatment or increased shortness of breath.

Tips for preventing the flu First and foremost always wash your hands.

“After being vaccinated, hand washing is the best way to avoid the flu,” says Dr. Maragh. “If you have to be around people who have the flu, wash your hands often and well.

When you’re out and about in public places, know that viruses lurk on ‘high-touch’ surfaces like doorknobs, telephones, grocery cart handles, gas pumps and elevator buttons and keep your hand sanitizer handy.

“Finally, keep your immune system strong by eating healthfully, drinking plenty of water or other fluids and getting enough sleep,” she said.

Flu vaccines are available through your VMC Primary Care clinics—just call for an appointment with a nurse. Or you can walk-in to any of VMC’s Urgent Care clinics.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Kennedy snaps Renton girls’ win streak at nine Hazen wins two league matchups, Lindbergh drops two

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Renton girls basketball team saw their nine game win streak snapped last week but then started what they hope will be a new run with a win on Friday. Hazen, meanwhile, picked up two more wins, but the news was not as good for Lindbergh who dropped both of their games.

RENTON Despite reeling off nine straight wins, leagueleading Kennedy Catholic proved too much for the Indians on Jan. 21 as the Lancers came to Renton High School and beat the Indians 58-39.

Kennedy jumped out to a 16-11 lead after the first, but Renton battled back to win the second quarter and narrow the score to a 24-22 Kennedy lead at the half.

In the third quarter, Kennedy outscored the Indians 16-10 to take a 40-32 lead after three.

Renton rallied in the final frame, but it was not enough as Kennedy was able to hold off the

Indians. Shelby Proctor had 13 points for Renton in the loss.

The Indians rebounded on Friday, however, blasting Tyee 62-17 at home in a game that was never close.

Renton’s defense was stifling and the Totems had trouble breaking through all game, leading to a 26-8 halftime lead.

No stats were available for the game.

The Indians are now 12-5 overall and 9-2 in the Seamount. They are in second place behind Kennedy.

Renton headed to Hazen on Wednesday and will play Evergreen on Friday at Renton High School.

HAZEN The Highlanders picked up a pair of wins this week, first over Foster and then at Highline.

The Highlanders welcomed the Foster on Jan. 21 and immediately dispatched their guests with a 55-28 win over the struggling Bulldogs. Hazen outscored Foster 27-11 in the first half.

Katie Dunne led the way for the Highlanders with 14 points in the win.

On Friday, Hazen beat Highline on a strong first half and then hung on as the Pirates made it a game.

The Highlanders opened the game with a 16-4 first quarter and a 29-14 halftime lead, but the Pirates just would not go away. Highline outscored Hazen 12-9 in the third to make it 38-26 and then continued their rally through the fourth, though in the end, Hazen was able to hang on for the victory.

Hazen’s Kaya Dumas led all scorers with 21 points while Brenna Hairston added 11 of her own.

Hazen welcomes Renton on Wednesday and travels to Kennedy on Friday for a match-up with the league-leading Lancers.

LINDBERGH It was another tough week for the Lindbergh Eagles, who fell at home to Evergreen on Jan. 21 and then had to face league-leading Kennedy Catholic on Friday.

The Eagles put up a fight against Evergreen, who jumped out to an 11-6 first quarter lead before the Eagles rallied back to make it 22-17 at the half. The Eagles won the third quarter 17-16 to pull the score to 38-34 as the teams headed to the final frame, but Evergreen doubled up the Eagles in the fourth for a 48-39 final score.

Lindbergh’s Connie Tua led all scorers with 15 in the loss.

On Friday, the Eagles ran into the Kennedy Catholic buzzsaw and fell 67-43 to the Lancers.

No statistics were available from the game.

Lindbergh is now 4-12 on the season and 3-8 in the Seamount. They played Tyee on Wednesday and then travel to Highline tonight, Friday.

Highlander boys pick up two Hazen athletes

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

The Hazen Highlanders boys basketball team had another big week, picking up two more wins to stay in second place in the Seamount League. Renton and Lindbergh, on the other hand, each won one and lost one this past week.

HAZEN Hazen traveled to Foster on Jan. 21 for a match-up with the Bulldogs and came away with a 68-43 victory.

Dominic Green, last week’s WIAA player of the week, led all scorers with 27 points. Connor O’Hearn added 13 and Jalen Green had 11 for the Highlanders, who jumped out to a 47-14 halftime lead and then hung on, even as the Bulldogs tried to climb out of the hole with a 2013 fourth quarter.

On Friday, the Highlanders welcomed Highline and then blasted the Pirates 76-46.

Green again led the way with 24 points and O’Hearn added 16 points and 11 assists in the win.

Hazen is now 14-3 overall and 10-1 in the Seamount. The Highlanders played at Renton on Wednesday and then takes on league-leading Kennedy Catholic on Friday at Hazen.

RENTON The Renton Indians this past week had a rough go against league-leading Kennedy, falling 58-39, but bounced back Friday at Tyee to win 59-49.

No stats were available for either game.

Renton is now 8-8 overall and 7-4 in the Seamount, good enough for third place. The Indians welcomed Hazen to Renton High School on Wednesday and play at Evergreen tonight, Friday.

LINDBERGH The Lindbergh Eagles picked up a much-needed win at Evergreen on Jan. 21 but then fell at home against Kennedy Catholic on Friday.

In their win, the Eagles jumped out to a 10-8 lead in the first quarter and held on for a 27-22 halftime lead. After three, Lindbergh was still ahead 46-33 after three, but a fourth-quarter rally brought Evergreen closer, but the Eagles still pulled it out by a final score of 57-47.

Anthony Hill led the scoring for the Eagles with 17, followed by Devon Jackson with 12.

It did not go as well against Kennedy, however, as the Lancers bested the Eagles 76-63.

The Lancers jumped out to a 26-15 first quarter lead and never looked back, though Lindbergh rallied in the fourth to make it interesting.

Hill had 19 in the loss for the Eagles and Jackson added 16.

Lindbergh is now 7-8 on the year and 4-7 in the Seamount. They traveled to Foster Wednesday and are home against Tyee today, Friday.

A 48-year-old Tukwila man, angry over his ex-girlfriend claim he owes her money and the fact she was driving her new boyfriend’s car, “donkey kicked” the 2000 Cadillac Seville that was disabled in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

He arrived and left at Wal-Mart on Rainier Avenue Jan. 10 in a red Cadillac Seville that is still registered to the ex-girlfriend.

When officers arrived, the couple’s 5-year-old daughter asked, “Are you here to take my daddy to jail?” The officer didn’t know and asked her to return to her car.

The ex-girlfriend said the suspect is a good father.

He backed up to the 2000 Seville and kicked it. The victim told officers he pushed her. He left in the car. Officers were going to cite him for investigation of fourthdegree assault, domestic violence, and third-degree malicious mischief.

AN ODD ROBBERY: A 30-year-old Bremerton man befriended three males on the Route 169 bus from Kent to Renton at about 9:30 p.m. Jan. 8 and decided to get a drink.

He followed them down an alley when one of the men pulled a silver handgun and demanded his backpack, cell phone and wallet. He returned to the park and ride

and called 911 from his girlfriend’s home in Kent.

The incident seemed odd, because he initially described the three as teens – who wouldn’t be allowed inside a bar. And why would he befriend them? He’s willing to prosecute if they’re found.

Four days later, he called police. Among the items stolen were nine prescription drugs, including one for depression. He needed them listed on a police report before the pharmacy would refill them.

WOMAN GRABBED: An elderly woman was grabbed on Edmonds Avenue Northeast on Jan. 10 and thrown into a white Saturn SUV by a man in his 50s, who hit her multiple times while the her legs were still hanging out the back door.

One witness rear ended another witness because she was distracted by the assault on the side of the road. The suspect had walked up from Northeast 16th Street to the passenger side of the SUV, where he picked up the elderly woman from the ground.

He shoved her into the SUV and hit her multiple times. He pushed her legs into the vehicle and drove off. Witnesses flagged down another motorist, who was asked to follow the SUV. That driver managed to follow the SUV on Interstate 405 for a short distance, before it exited and then drove to the Maple Valley Highway, where the witness lost sight of it.

Renton officers checked the address on the SUV’s registration but the vehicle wasn’t found. Detectives were investigating.
