Program helps students rebound for graduation and beyond

BY TRACEY COMPTON

Graduation Day!

tcompton@rentonreporter.com

At first, Lindbergh High School senior Simayah Green didn’t see the value of taking a course that taught practical, ‘real-life’ skills. She thought the class her counselor was urging her to take was for failing students only.

“And I didn’t really think at the time I was failing because I had got caught up in all my credits from SLC (Secondary Learning Center),” said Green.

The course is the Jobs for Washington’s

district’s alternative high school, returned to Lindbergh and this week will walk with the rest of her 2015 graduating class.

The program currently serves 45 students total in the district and Green is one of nine students in the district graduating as a result of JWG. The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction administers the program and it is the state chapter of the national Jobs for America’s Graduates program.

Green found something in her JWG program that she hadn’t in other classes. She learned how to manage money, how to rent

an apartment and how to finance a college education, among other skills.

“I can’t say I really learned anything academic-based, per se, but I learned tools that I Simayah Green can take away from this program and say, ‘Yes, I’m going to use this in the real world,’” Green said.

Citizens group files complaint over Energize Eastside project PSE claims rules cited by CENSE and CSEE do not apply

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

CENSE, the Eastside citizen group opposed to Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside Project, on Tuesday filed a complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission alleging that the project violates “several laws.”

The complaint states that PSE, Seattle City Light, Bonneville Power Administration and ColumbiaGrid, the overriding transmission-planning region, failed to comply with FERC orders related to environmental impacts and evaluation of alternatives. The complaint alleges that PSE failed to review the plan as part of a “single utility” that links the whole grid while seeking to prove the need for the upgraded transmission lines.

Officials at PSE, however, disagree. On Tuesday, Gretchen Aliabadi, co-lead on the Energize Eastside project, said the CENSE complaint “contains many misconceptions that lead to incorrect conclusions about the need for the Energize Eastside project.”

I’m glad that some of the benefit is coming back to this community.” - Facebook user Mark Johnston on an online post about PSE presenting the school district with an $80,000 rebate for efficiency.

Renton residents are reminded that it is illegal to possess or discharge fireworks of any kind in the city of Renton throughout the year, including on July 4.

The ban on fireworks went into effect in 2005, by voter approval, and prohibits the personal discharge of fireworks within the city limits year-round, including on July 4 and New Year’s Eve. It is also illegal to sell or possess fireworks within the city limits.

“The fireworks ban is in place to protect citizens and their property, and it is working,” said Mark Peterson, Fire Chief/ Emergency Services Administrator. “Since 2005, we have seen a significant reduction in the number of painful injuries and costly property losses related to the use of fireworks.”

Violators are subject to both criminal and civil citations, confiscation of fireworks and possible fines of $100 to $500.

Additionally, the sale, possession, or use of explosive devices such as M-80s, M-100s, and homemade or modified fireworks are felony offenses, and violators will face criminal prosecution.

City Council denies Tiffany Park residents in appeal

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The Renton City Council on Monday affirmed the hearing examiner’s decision to allow a proposed 96-lot single-family development in the Tiffany Park neighborhood.

The decision was made following an appeal before the City’s Planning and Development Committee brought by residents in the Tiffany Park Woods Advocacy Group.

The members of the committee, which include Councilmember Randy Corman as chair and Councilmembers Marcie Palmer and Armondo Pavone, found no substantial error in fact or law in the hearing examiner’s decision and recommended their findings to the full council in the regular council meeting later that evening.

Members of TPWAG said they were decompressing on Tuesday after the decision. Group leaders still haven’t decided if they will appeal to Superior Court. There will be a 21-day period, from June 12, where either party can file an appeal with Superior Court.

Renate Beedon, TPWAG member, was disappointed but not surprised at the committee’s decision.

“This whole process was flawed from the beginning on,” she said.

“What I find amazing is that none of the planning committee had read all the documentation we provided for them to make an intelligent decision. As a citizen, I expect my representatives in government to educate themselves about a topic before they make major decisions like that, but apparently I am still too naive.”

At one point during the proceeding, Beedon asked council member Pavone if he had read all of the documents provided to the committee on the appeal. Pavone admitted he had not.

The committee, led by Corman, did spend time examining and discussing the more “controversial”

Tiffany Park Woods Advocacy Group (TPWAG) members Bill Roenicke, left, and Renate Beedon appeal to the City of Renton’s Planning and Development Committee, concerning a proposed housing development going into their neighborhood. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter

aspects of TPWAG’s claims, such as whether the committee or council could require the developer, Henley USA LLC, to perform an environmental impact statement.

“I want to be clear here,” said Beedon during the appeal. “This is not us against the developer; it’s us trying to preserve a precious piece of land.”

Beedon on more than one occasion questioned why an environmental impact statement was not done and demanded that the developer be required to submit one.

City Attorney Larry Warren, who also attended the appeal, explained to all present that it was not within the committee’s purview to rule on whether an environmental impact statement should be submitted.

“The decision to require an EIS is referred to as procedural SEPA

(State Environmental Policy Act),” Warren said in an email Tuesday.

“State law specifically limits appeals of procedural SEPA to a single appeal. That appeal, in this case was made to the hearing examiner.

Therefore, there could not be an appeal to council.”

The committee also looked at the fact that TPWAG was denied access to the property, which is owned by the Renton School District.

The group wanted to do their own environmental assessment of the property. The group has speculated in the past about the possibility of hazardous materials being on the site because the Department of Defense had an easement on the property.

Nancy Rogers, an attorney who represents Henley, said in her rebuttal that an environmental

Warren later clarified for the committee that a Level 1 review of the site would have disclosed historical records, inquiries to regulatory agencies and a site examination on whether or not the property has hazardous waste on it.

The explanations given by Warren and Rogers and the committee’s conclusions were not enough to satisfy the TPWAG members in the end.

District sees increase of marijuana incidents at schools

“Bunny” Margaret A Parker Bunny was a long time Renton resident; she was born in Hendersonville NC on August 19, 1941 to the parents of Hazel and Harry Corn. Bunny grew up as an Army brat and moved all over the country until she landed in Tacoma WA. She graduated from Clover Park high school in 1959.

She and King were introduced in 1965 by a family friend while Bunny worked as an executive secretary for Texaco. On July 3, 1967 she married her best friend in a chapel located in the Silver Queen Saloon in Virginia City, NV. Bunny and King started their business in 1982. Bunny was the accountant, top sales person and the driving force at the store, as well as keeping King in check. She worked until 1987 to be more behind the scenes at King and Bunnys Appliances and to help their son Shannon in his business as a florist and delivery person.

She was a very caring and compassionate person to anyone who came into her home. She was a non judgmental person with a heart of gold and would help anyone in need, whether it was to talk, give advice or just lend an ear.

Bunny was a wonderful wife, mother, friend and confidant to many. She loved giving more than receiving. She was always there to help her family, extended family and their friends in whatever it may be.

Bunny will be deeply missed, by not only her family, extended family and friends but also this greater community of Renton.

She is survived by her husband King, and her son Jason and his wife Terri, Peter, Boo and her grandchildren Kaily and Becca preceded in death by eldest son Shannon Parker.

Bunny would want us all to celebrate her life.

While firefighting resources are heading toward the blaze, dispatchers or firefighters may call back if additional information is needed from callers about specifics around the fire.

“Sometimes we will need to check back with callers to confirm the location or to check on the status of the fire. This will ensure we have the right resources going to each fire. These calls can be invaluable as fires can change quickly,” said Johnson.

“Overall, our goal is to attack fires swiftly and aggressively before they have a chance to become large,” he said.

The Renton School District has seen an increase in marijuana among students this year since the drug became legal in this state for those 21 and up, according to school staff.

“At the beginning of the year it seemed as if we were inundated with marijuana at Renton High School,” said Officer Jeff Reynolds.

He’s a school resource officer assigned to Renton High School, but who reports to the Renton Police Department.

“These were all misdemeanor possession amounts, but still we had probably more than we ever have had in the 13 years I have been working in the schools,” he said.

Requests for comments from Hazen and Lindbergh high schools were made, but neither principals nor school security officers returned emails or phone call inquiries.

“In the past four or five months, the marijuana seized has slowed,” Reynolds said. “It is my belief that they are just not bringing it to school.”

In December 2014, the district hired Bill Blake as the new manager of safety and security for Renton schools.

Blake reports that since he’s been on the job, there have

do,” he said.

Since Blake came on board, the district has now established procedures for dealing with contraband such as marijuana. In the past, items were disposed of by school administrators and staff, flushing the marijuana and throwing the other items in the trash.

Now, the items are documented, Blake brings them to Reynolds and Reynolds places the items in Renton Police Department Evidence to be destroyed.

Earlier this year, the district’s results from the Healthy Youth Survey were reported. The self-reported survey is not considered very reliable by district staff, but reports of marijuana use among teens was lower in the district than the state, except at 10th grade.

That runs contrary to what Reynolds experiences at school, he said.

“I don’t think that the amount of marijuana used is any less,” Reynolds said. “In fact I believe it has increased.

“You can almost pick the students out that routinely use marijuana,” he continued. “Their attendance is poor, or they are late to class. Many do not have passing grades.”

The district safety and security manager maintains that drugs still aren’t a big problem in the district.

“We really don’t have a major problem with drugs in this district,” Blake said. “My time here and reports since I’ve been here, 700 reports, very few of them, like I told you, deal with drugs, marijuana. They’re mostly confiscated items: cigarette lighters…You would see the paraphernalia that someone could be involved, but we don’t actually get the drugs.”

been three cases “where we’ve had to deal with marijuana,” he said.

Those three cases involved seized amounts between two and three ounces of the drug. According to Blake, school staff periodically deal with small trace amounts of marijuana that is not subject to police intervention.

Students are typically given a long-term suspension usually 45 days, with the ability to return in a short time if they complete a drug and alcohol assessment and follow their guidelines, according to Reynolds.

This, to him, is a better solution than filing charges on a student, with “I have been told by students that the likelihood the prosecutor is it is so much easier for students to not going to file get marijuana now because it can be on misdemeanor legally purchased by adults.” charges anyway, School Resource Officer Jeff Reynolds he said.

In a recent case on May 19, almost 2 grams was confiscated from the Secondary Learning Center and turned into police, according to police reports.

Reynolds was at a recent meeting involving school resource officers and school security officers from the South King County area and said, “We felt that marijuana possessions were up.”

“I have been told by students that it is so much easier for students to get marijuana now because it can be legally purchased by adults. Not all students smoke marijuana on a regular basis, but there are too many that

www.rentonreporter.com [ COMPLAINT from page 1] Aliabadi also said the project was a “local load-serving project” and therefore not subject to the rules CENSE cites in its complaint.

CENSE, the Coalition of Eastside Neighborhoods for Sensible Energy, is a citizen group opposed to the 18-mile transmission line upgrade project.

CENSE has challenged the routes for the project, which will build new larger transmission towers and lines along the current right-of-way, as well as the basic need for the project.

PSE has repeatedly stated that the current lines, which have not been upgraded since the 1960s, will not entirely meet the needs of the growing area by 2018. Specifically, the transmission lines presently handle 115 kilovolts (kV) and need to be able to deliver 230 kV. CENSE and fellow citizen group Citizens for Sane Eastside Energy (CSEE) disagree, however, and have pressed for additional use studies, including an independent study commissioned by the Bellevue City Council. Utility System Efficiencies (USE) was commissioned by the city in December to determine if Energize is necessary and whether PSE’s estimated load forecasts correctly identified capacity issues in the future.

According to the Bellevue Reporter, USE consultant Peter Mackin said PSE is bound by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation to serve its load demand and regional transmission requests, such as to Canada. Even removing those requests — and cutting growth in other scenarios — still resulted in overloads and outages, he said.

“The bottom line is — under all scenarios — there was a local need,” Mackin told the Bellevue City Council in May. “You can’t just say, ‘Let’s reduce all the regional transfers to zero.’ It just won’t work.”

The complaint filed Tuesday continues to challenge the need for the project, but also shifts its focus to a pair of rules about larger Bulk Energy Systems that CENSE said must be obeyed because the Energize project is part of a larger regional system.

“After seeking expert technical and legal advice, CENSE and CSEE believe that PSE may not have followed the FERC rules. These rules would favor one of the smarter less expensive and less damaging alternatives to reliably power Eastside growth,” said Steve O’Donnell, president of CENSE. “We hope that FERC’s intervention will enable all parties to transparently compare viable alternatives to Energize Eastside.”

Included with the complaint is a 29page affidavit and hundreds of pages of attachments from Richard Lauckhart, consultant and former vice president of power planning for Puget Sound Power & Light Company.

“Despite what many people may believe, FERC has determined that utilities do not have a monopoly on the ownership of elements of the Bulk Electric System, which Energize Eastside is part of,” said Lauckhart in a press release. “If, for example . . . it is determined that Energize Eastside is the best solution to a reliability problem, then any qualified entity that can build transmission lines would have the opportunity to bid on the project and

subsequently build and own those lines.

That entity then makes it available for use as a part of the Bulk Electric System and then recovers its cost from those who need it.”

However, included in the attachments to Lauckhart’s affidavit is a response from ColumbiaGrid on that issue in which they reiterate that Energize Eastside is a local load-serving project and therefore their analysis is complete as is.

Aliabadi also reiterated that the project would serve the needs of the Eastside and therefore regional rules like the ones cited in the complaint do not apply.

“We’re confident it will be dismissed through the formal FERC process,” she said, adding that the complaint is not expected to impact the Energize Eastside project’s timeline.

The complaint also states that the project should have used existing lines that run through the corridor for Seattle City Light, but Aliabadi said PSE worked with ColumbiaGrid and SCL, who told PSE that they needed the capacity in those lines to serve their customers.

FERC rules give companies 30 days to respond to filed complaints. FERC will then ask other entities if they want to intervene in the process.

Energize Eastside is currently in the scoping process for the Environmental Impact Statement and is accepting public comment through June 15 at http:// www.energizeeastsideeis.org.

With close to 1,000 meals to deliver to needy seniors each week, the Renton Meals on Wheels program is in “dire need” of volunteers.

According to program Outreach Specialist Dale Hoover, the Renton program has “gone bananas” in recent months and is outpacing the number of volunteers available to make all of the deliveries.

Meals on Wheels is a donation-based program serving seniors with a medical issues where preparing their own nutritious meals are difficult for them.

Outside of Seattle, Hoover said Renton’s program is the largest in King County and it is currently being staffed by only about 15 volunteers.

Hoover said the program needs volunteers in both the driver and sorter categories. Drivers would spend about two or three hours on a Wednesday delivering meals to four or five seniors, while the sorters would help prepare the deliveries, as seniors have a choice of 35 different meals to have delivered.

Locally, the program is run out of the Renton Senior Activity Center.

For more information or to volunteer, call 206448-5767.

Will he end GOP’s long drought in governor mansion He has a common name with a busy agenda and a determination to end one of the country’s longest losing streaks in state government.

Meet Bill Bryant, a Republican challenger to Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee in 2016.

The GOP hasn’t occupied the governor’s mansion since 1984, when John Spellman was in office. Since then, Republicans have lost eight straight elections, the longest such dry spells in the country for the party.

Bryant, 54, vows to change all that. The two-term Seattle Port commissioner, who grew up in Western Washington and lives in Seattle, announced last month his intentions to run for governor, emphasizing the need to create middle class jobs, protect and restore the environment, fund education and improve infrastructure for transportation.

“We have an incumbent who is not building community. He’s very divisive, hyper-partisan, and we’re not getting anything done,” said Bryant, who visited South King County last week on business matters. “Our truck routes are deteriorating, Puget Sound is dying and our schools are languishing without a sustainable funding source. … This isn’t a Republican or Democrat agenda. This is just about getting some basic stuff done.”

As port commissioner and business owner, the fiscally conservative Bryant is in the habit of making deals. His firm helps companies and organizations open, access and expand international markets.

His work on the waterfront is perhaps highlighted by the news that Seattle and Tacoma port officials officially agreed to consolidate operations. All 10 port commissioners unanimously approved the alliance at Auburn City Hall last Friday.

The Northwest Seaport Alliance will unify the ports’ marine cargo terminal investments, operations, planning and marketing to strengthen the Puget Sound gateway and attract more marine cargo for the region.

Bryant knows as much.

The alliance, he said, will enhance the Puget Sound market, and protect and add jobs.

But $700 million is needed to upgrade docks at Elliott and Commencement bays, Bryant pointed out, making it important for the ports to shoulder the improvements in a coordinated way.

And to allow for a greater volume of business and traffic, vital truck routes outside the port gates need improvement, he said.

“If we don’t modernize the docks for the next generation of ships, those ships will go to Vancouver (B.C.),” Bryant warned.

Bryant was criticized for supporting Shell

Other states make tax cuts In Olympia these days, lawmakers are high centered in a second special session over the budget to operate the state for the next two years. The stalemate has come down to the choice of raising taxes or funding government within the current revenues.

Gov. Jay Inslee and fellow Democrats call for a new 5 percent capital gains tax they estimate will generate another $550 million. In addition, Inslee has proposed a new billion dollar tax scheme on carbon emissions.

On the other hand, Republicans believe the projected $3.2 billion (9.2 percent) increase in revenue collections already expected over the 2015-17 budget cycle will suffice.

At our state capitol, nobody is talking about reducing taxes. In Kansas and North Carolina, however, tax cuts implemented a couple of years ago are creating jobs and increasing worker wages.

In 2013, new North Carolina Republican Gov. Pat McCrory felt compelled to turn around the state’s sluggish economy. Lawmakers slashed the state’s top personal income tax rate to 5.75 percent from 7.75 percent, which had been the highest in the South. The corporate tax rate was cut from 6.9 percent to 5 percent and the estate tax was eliminated.

oil rigs docking along Seattle’s waterfront in preparation for drilling off Alaska’s North Slope.

The Bryant campaign called the Shell fight “entirely symbolic” and defended the port’s environmental record.

Despite the controversy, Bryant insisted he has a reputation of being able to work with environmental and labor communities, protecting jobs and the Sound.

Bryant knows he has a fight on his hands. His is working to make inroads throughout the state but perhaps none is more significant than swaying

The result: nearly 200,000 jobs have been added and the unemployment rate has fallen from the 7.9 percent to 5.5 percent. Most importantly, it has given people in rural areas where the jobless rate topped 20 percent a chance to go back to work.

In Kansas, lawmakers reduced the top rate on the personal income tax from 6.45 percent to 4.9 percent. They also eliminated the income tax for small business owners who file as individuals, a broad group that includes sole proprietors, limited liability partnerships and S-corporations.

Since then, hourly wages have grown by 3.5 percent compared with the national average of 1.9% and the unemployment rate has dropped to 4.2 percent.

In contrast, Washington’s statewide jobless rate in April was 5.5 percent, with 80 percent of Washington counties reporting unemployment rates above the national average.

While critics complain that the Kansas tax cuts have blown a hole in the state budget—$344 million in the 2015 fiscal year and $600 million in the next—the North Carolina reforms, which included changing the state’s unemployment tax system, generated a $400 million revenue surplus.

Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He can be contacted at theBrunells@ msn.com. votes in King County.

Gubernatorial races are often decided here – by the populous, predominately blue-blooded vote.

Bryant knows he won’t be able to carry 60 percent of the vote in the county, as he did as when he ran for port commissioner, but he’s trying to make more believers come late 2016.

“I’m very comfortable to where I am in King County.”

Congratulations to the Class of 2015! [ JWG from page 1]

supporters of JWG want students to get. It’s a program for at-risk students, designed to keep them in school, engaged and focused on the future. As a Career and Technical Education course, students receive college and career readiness skills, are mentored to pursue post-secondary education and get assistance securing jobs.

The Renton School District was asked to pilot the program last year at Renton High School and this year it was expanded to all three high schools in the district.

JWG has been in the state since 2010 and now serves more than 1,100 students from 47 school sites, including middle schools.

“I like that this program has a past of really helping those students that we maybe looked at as, ‘There’s no way that they even have a chance,’” said Kara Crum, Lindbergh career and job readiness specialist. “This program gives kids a second chance, a second chance to get those skills and move on and feel successful.”

Crum, who taught Green, has witnessed her students go from barely attending school to attending regularly to becoming confident public speakers and to getting employment.

Students are identified by factors such as their attendance, grades, home life, special education or English Language Learner needs and discipline. Most of Crum’s JWG students have been to the Secondary Learning Center to retrieve credits, after having fallen behind.

Green fell behind and became depressed after her uncle passed away. She was barely able to go to school and her grade point average fell to the 1.0 range. But she worked hard at SLC and returned to Lindbergh more determined to graduate.

“These guys need a plan and sometimes it needs to be small,” Crum said. “Like they can only see a semester, otherwise they get discouraged and they wander off the path.”

Crum works with students individually breaking down each semester and what students want and need to get accomplished. As soon as students hit 16, most want jobs.

They learn job skills and find employment in local malls and fast food restaurants. That’s been the experience so far, placing students in part-time and summer jobs, since the program is still new to the district and hasn’t had many graduates yet.

The goal is to help them identify their passion and place them in post-secondary education, training or apprenticeships or the military, said Jay Leviton, district director of career and life-skills education.

“We’re passionate about helping all of our kids succeed in our community and this is just one additional safety net,” Leviton said.

For example, Leviton cites students who have enrolled in Renton Technical College’s culinary arts program and the automotive program and others who have joined the military.

As for Green, she works part-time at a grocery store currently and wants to take a year off after graduation.

Ultimately she wants to enroll in college and become a pharmacist.

“I’m my mom’s only child to graduate high school, so far, and I have two older brothers, so it’s, like, really, really exciting for her,” she said.

It’s exciting for Green, too, she said as she reflected on her journey from freshmen year to present.

“It was a real huge accomplishment for me to catch up and overcome the struggles that I did with not wanting to wake up and come to school or being depressed,” Green said. “It was really hard, but I did it.”

Lindbergh teacher Kara Crum goes over an assignment with senior Simayah Green in the school’s Jobs for Washington’s Graduates program.

Hazen senior named Gates Millennium Scholar The Renton School District has another Gates Millennium Scholar. Hazen High School’s Minh-Thu Nguyen was named a 2015 Gates Millennium Scholar, one of about 1,000 high school and college students worldwide chosen for the honor.

The Hazen senior received the award based on her academic achievement, community service and leadership abilities. With the scholarship, Nguyen will be granted a fullride to college and graduate school studies, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foun-

dation. She has decided to pursue a medical degree at the University of Washington.

“In high school I discovered a passion for helping others, and grew the most as a person,” said Nguyen. “After I participated in Summer Youth Leadership Program, a leadership program targeted towards Asian American teens, I became interested in social justice and equal rights activism.”

According to a district press release, her interest and leadership abilities grew while attending Hazen. She co-founded “Liberasian,”

Get the rest of your warm-season crops in the ground now Marianne Binetti

THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER

By the middle of June you can finally plant all your warm season crops into the garden.

Corn and bean seeds, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes will not have to battle cool nights and cold soil and they will grow much more quickly than if set out in May. Colorful coleus with fantastic foliage will also perk up this month as the days and nights stay warm.

I bought some coleus plants with huge leaves because I always heard coleus like the shade. My neighbor insists coleus do well in the sun. Does coleus prefer sun or shade? One more question – when my coleus forms a spike of

Q.

Graduates Left the Nest?

Let me find the home that best suits your new needs now that your graduates are all gone!

blue flowers do I have to pinch this off the plant? G. Email Coleus are tropical plants that love warm days and do best in light shade or strong filtered light but there are some new coleus varieties called “sun coleus” that can handle full sun in our climate.

In general the more red you see in a coleus leaf the more sun tolerant it will be. Pinching off any flower spikes that form on coleus plants will keep them producing colorful leaves rather than putting their energy into seed production.

In Western Washington you should also pinch back the tips of coleus plants several times in the summer to keep them compact and tidy. New coleus plants are easy to start from cuttings just by placing your pruning bits in a glass of water to enjoy as cut flowers. Keep the glass filled until roots form and you can pot up the cuttings and enjoy new coleus all winter as houseplants.

When it comes to varieties, sometimes the name of the various coleus plants are as colorful as the foliage. Look for “Inky Fingers,” “Stained Glasswork,” “Kong”—with huge leaves up to 8 inches across, or the dramatic red and yellow variety that can handle full sun named “Big Red Judy.”

I purchased a Martha Washington Geranium for the center of a large container garden and it has stopped blooming. The other plants in the container are marigolds and petunias and they are doing great so I know that I am not giving the plants too much or too little water. This container is in full sun against a sunny wall so I know the plants did not get too cold at night. I planted all the plants a month ago. Why would only the geranium stop blooming? T.Y., Enumclaw The clue to this mystery is the location of your container. A warm and sunny spot is perfect for petunias, marigolds and most geraniums but Martha or Lady Washington geraniums are more particular about their growing conditions than the other more adaptable geranium varieties.

Dry soil or hot afternoons will send Martha into a tizzy.

She prefers only morning or early afternoon sun, soil kept moist and a constant supply of weak fertilizer to keep her healthy. You can always dig out and replace cranky or ungrateful plants from less than successful container garden compositions. The traditional zonal geraniums will thrive in that hot spot and if moved out of the spotlight and into a cooler location your Martha Washington geranium might just settle down and clean up her persnickety reputation.

I am new to the area but last year I planted canna ‘Tropicanna’ in a large half wine barrel and I was delighted that the huge leaves have sprouted from the same tuber even though the plant looked dead in the winter and I cut the stem all the way to the ground. So will this tropical plant keep coming back year after year? Will I need to dig and divide the bulbs at some point? I should mention that the ornamental grass called Japanese Forest Grass also came back in the same pot and so I have a wonderful combination of foliage in one pot without replanting anything! P.O., Tacoma Welcome to Western Washington where our recent mild winter has allowed marginally hardy plants to make an encore appearance. You canna grow canna in that same container for three or four years before it should need digging up and dividing but wait until fall to do the dirty deed. Cut back the foliage, remove the tuber and separate the knobby roots into three or four smaller tubers.

Even cannas planted in the ground survived this past winter if they were growing in well-drained soil. To make sure your potted cannas survive a colder winter in the future you can move the pot under the eaves or another protected spot out of the rain.

If you plant cannas into the ground cover the soil with oil cloth or sword fern fronds in the fall after you cut the canna foliage to the ground. In our climate we lose more bulbs to rot from the rainy winters than we do from a deep freeze.

Canna tubers can also be dug in the fall and stored in a cold but not freezing garage or basement.

Suspect takes a swing over shoes, refuses to leave patrol car

BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

An Auburn man became violent, yelling obscenities and struggling with officers, May 20 in the 200 block of Logan Avenue South after he tried to punch another man over a pair of shoes.

The victim, a Kent man, deflected the punches or stepped back. He didn’t punch back.

The suspect refused to sit down until an officer drew his Taser. He became irate when arrested for fourth-degree assault, telling officers “just kill me.”

He was picked up and placed in an officer’s patrol car, where he hit his head against a partition so hard that he knocked a rifle out of its track.

He was taken to the SCORE regional jail, where he continued his assaultive behavior and had to be physically removed from the patrol car.

BIKE STOLEN OFF BUS: A 32-year-old Renton man just back on May 16 to the Renton Transit Center from Redmond, where he got his $400 BMX fixed, offered to let another man ride his bike.

They got on the bus together and the man offered him some alcohol. At Southeast 192nd Street and 108th Avenue Southeast, they got off the bus, where the man pushed him down.

The now-suspect grabbed the bike from the rack and rode away south on 108th

Avenue Southeast.

at the Goodwill and the gas station.

ROBBED OF PRESCRIPTIONS: A 63-year-old Renton man lying on a hospital bed in his living room was robbed May 16 of his prescription drugs by a man holding a knife.

Officers have had previous contact with the man, who has a history of drug abuse, including methadone and heroin.

The suspect in his mid 20s demanded the victim’s cash and methadone. He didn’t have any methadone but there was $4,000 in a wallet attached to a string around his neck.

The victim appeared heavily under the influence of his methadone. The only evidence a crime occurred was damage to a broken door frame and molding, although officers were unsure when that occurred.

BUT IT’S ON VIDEO: It took a lot of convincing, but a 41-year-old Kent woman finally told officers the vodka she stole from a Renton drugstore on Carr Road May 19 was in the center console of her pickup truck.

She was stopped on East Valley Road because of a vehicle description given by a store employee. She repeatedly said she didn’t steal anything, but the theft was caught on video.

Joint replacement isn’t a life saver.

But it is a lifestyle saver.

WATCH YOUR WALLET: Someone stole a Renton woman’s wallet May 24 that she left unattended for about give minutes while she tried on shoes at the Goodwill store on Sunset Boulevard.

She called her bank immediately and learned her debit card had already been used at the Shell gas station nearby.

Officers planned to review security video

A records check showed she was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant in Centralia, so a Renton officer drove to Lacey to turn her over to a Centralia officer.

She was trespassed from the Renton store, which declined to pursue charges.

BACK FOR THE STEREO: Someone has stolen the speakers from a Renton man’s SUV several times in recent months, but this time the stereo was taken, too.

His SUV was broken into sometime overnight on May 18 in the 4100 block of Northeast 22nd Place. Loss was estimated at about $1,000.
